The two men were at each other's throats, their barbs and quips imbued with an intense hostility.
Onstage, tensions immediately rose, creating an atmosphere taut as a drawn bow. Pei Ruoxi, who had intended to liven up the opening, was now the embodiment of awkwardness.
"Hehe…" Pei Ruoxi chuckled dryly, "You two really have a sense of humor!"
Offstage, Ning Xiaofei massaged her forehead in exasperation, while Ji Mo, annoyed, again reminded Pei Ruoxi through the headset.
"Start the interview."
Having just argued over Ning Xiaofei, Pei Ruoxi should have adjusted her hosting script appropriately. Why would she choose now to ask about one's impressions of the other? Wasn't this just asking for embarrassment?
"Today I am truly honored to have both of you on our show. Since the program is 'Dialogue with Gods', how do you both understand the term 'great god'?"
Xicheng: "Boring!"
Pei Ruoxi's eyebrows twitched as she turned to look at Mu Tianye.
Mu Tianye: "Childish!"
