"Huan Er, are you still protecting him?"
Jiang Changbai's initial annoyance had just simmered beneath his calm facade, but now, his eyes were a full-blown storm of fury upon witnessing Jiang Peihuan's actions.
He thrust the sword in his hand towards Xiao Nanye. Reacting promptly, Jiang Peihuan stepped forth, placing herself protectively in front of Xiao Nanye.
"Huan Er, step aside," Jiang Changbai ordered, halting his advance. "I intend to give him a piece of my mind today."
"Big brother," Jiang Peihuan responded, "if you harm King Cheng today, our entire Jiang Mansion will bear the consequences."
Despite Jiang Peihuan's words, Jiang Changbai's eyes remained ablaze with anger, but he refrained from taking another step forward.
At this moment, Xiao Nanye emerged from behind Jiang Peihuan, directing a calm gaze at Jiang Changbai. "Young General, my visit today was simply to express gratitude, not to offend the Eldest Miss."
