"That's-"
"Hold on," Liangyu interrupted, his pride wounded. "Why did you say Jian's name? How did you know he was the best from the two of us?"
"So you agree that I'm the best from the two of us?" Jian felt kind of satisfied, a smug look crossing his face.
"No, shut up. I'm asking Master Longwei."

Liangyu shot me a look that could kill.
I avoided his gaze deliberately. "Look, that isn't the point. Let's not divert from the topic at hand. Can we just talk about our future here?"
