"What are you doing?"
The argument between the two was unrelenting; Wen Mian stood her ground, and Ling Yuyan was even less willing to concede.
A familiar male voice rose from behind, and both quickly turned their heads to look, making eye contact with Pei Zhiyao.
The man approached at a leisurely pace, his phoenix eyes twisted with a trace of eerie emotion.
The next instant, Pei Zhiyao let out a cold laugh, like a sharp eagle slowly closing in on the two.
Yet, despite the fierce battle Wen Mian and Ling Yuyan had just engaged in, Wen Mian hadn't been hurt.
Pei Zhiyao sighed in relief and swiftly pulled Wen Mian to his side.
"Stand behind me."
Those brief four words conveyed a sense of protection to Wen Mian.
They also brought a sense of unwillingness to Ling Yuyan standing across from them.
She glared at Pei Zhiyao, then took a deep breath and said with a cold eye,
"Are you and Wen Mian that close?"
