Was she accepting her defeat beforehand?

"Sister Xue, are you comfortable in this. If there is a problem, we can ask someone to come once to help you with it." Xiao Meng asked as she saw Li Xue getting ready for the rehearsals. 

Li Xue shook her head before checking down her epee. "I am comfortable, Meng Meng. Don't worry." She said and the girl looked down at the sword that has Li Xue's all attention. 

"Then Sister Xue does this sword has an issue? You are looking at it like it has some problem. We can always let anyone check it for you. Wait, let me call someone." Still feeling worried, Xiao Meng didn't want to leave anything without confirming. Something in her sixth sense was warning her again and again, and that flickering doubt in her heart was scaring her to the bottom of her core.
