Seeing that he had garnered public support, Murong Xi imagined Xu Zimei would find it difficult to back down.
However, turning his head, he saw Xu Zimei with a calm expression, seemingly indifferent to the situation at hand.
This made Murong Xi even more furious.

"See if he dares to accept the challenge. If he doesn't, then let's not force him."
Although Murong Jiankong's words seemed to give Xu Zimei a way out,
in reality, there was an element of provoking him.
After all, in front of such a large audience, which young person can afford to lose face?
If he lost face, Xu Zimei would probably no longer be able to compete with Murong Xi over this assessment's outcome.
