He sighs and sits back on his heels. He knows his reasoning is likely stupid after how long he's been working with this clan and his reputation for being about the most responsible and frugal sect leader in the cultivation world, but..

If they do, they may not let me stay or they may question other things I do here. Worse, if they ask what the funds for this particular situation is for. Jin Ling could get the money, but after everything he's been through lately, I'd rather he not have to think of this stupidity again."

He frowns and shakes his head. "I don't but I can ask my family in Gusu? Your dads would know better though probably. How do you know if a song is supposed to be on one instrument or another?"
Jingyi blush darkens and he covers his mouth in a surprised, little gasp. He should've been expecting an answer like that but he really wasn't. "We're not supposed to do that!" Oh.. wait. They're also not supposed to be hooking up with their boyfriends either and what is he planning on doing?
He glances around and then scoots closer. "Are we?" Was he wrong about that too.
