The spectators at the scene were all somewhat astonished. They hadn't expected the man onstage to challenge someone sitting in the audience by name.
Especially those who had originally planned to take the stage and issue a challenge. They all stopped in their tracks and looked over at Ning Wangshu, Liu Qi, and the others in unison.
Since no one had challenged Ning Wangshu and the others for quite some time, they had thought that they really were cowards, just as the man onstage had said.
The moment Liu Qi stood up, the crowd grew excited, and a chorus of "Oh!" rang out.

"Cousin, honestly, why does he have to show off? Xu Wenlong's words were unpleasant, but he could've just ignored them. If he didn't go onstage, who could force him to?"
Wu Yuqian was anxious and worried,
