"I know!" A flash of pain crossed Jiang Yebai's eyes. "I was the one who taught her the Flute Skill."
"No wonder." Pei Shaoqing feigned a look of sudden understanding, not bothering to explain that the 'flute' in question wasn't a musical one. Grinning, he cupped his hands in a salute. "Many thanks to Young Hero Jiang for the rousing accompaniment."
Jiang Yebai instantly flushed with anger. He lunged forward, pressing his Jade Flute against Pei Shaoqing's throat. "I'll kill you!"
"Lan'Er would hate you for that," Pei Shaoqing said lightly, smiling with unconcern.
Jiang Yebai looked devastated. He retracted his flute and grabbed Pei Shaoqing by the collar, demanding through clenched teeth, "Why? You don't even love her!"
"That's why she needs someone to love her. And that person can only be you," Pei Shaoqing said blandly.
Jiang Yebai was completely baffled. "What do you mean?"
