"Xie..." When Qi Ji brought Tang Wuling to find Xie Xie, Xie Xie was still posing like a senior before a crowd of younger students.
He held one hand behind his back and gestured with the other, talking nonstop about "techniques for using Space Law."
The students around him gazed up at him in admiration, letting out the occasional "Wow!"
