Chapter 4360: 5.0112 Indifference

"What standing do you have to speak to us now?"

"Grandmother?"

"Long Clan Leader?"

"Or the mother of your daughter, Long Chuyun, who died outside?"

"Audacious!" A middle-aged beautiful woman beside the old madam couldn't help but yell angrily.

Long Qian raised a hand, stopping the beautiful woman from further shouting. She took a deep breath and looked at Qiaomu, saying, "I know you siblings resent me."

"Resentment?" Qiaomu couldn't help but scoff, tilting her small head, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at the people before her. "Indifferent people have no resentment."

Everyone stared blankly.

They saw the little poker face, dressed in pristine white, standing there with an aloof and indifferent expression, hands behind her back, like a vast, lonely sky, leaving only a cold silence in her wake.

"My brother and I are back not to acknowledge this kinship with you, nor do we intend to cling to status."

"Just, bring out all of Mother's relics."

"And please hand over her remaining life lamp fragments!"

"Because you are unworthy."

"You!" The middle-aged beautiful woman glared, then couldn't help but turn to Long Clan Leader Long Qian. "Aunt, are you just going to let her be so insolent and wild? Let her trample on the face of our Long Clan like this?"

"Aunt! You heard what happened earlier! This, this insolent woman actually, actually severely injured my son. Aunt, that's your grandson too, are you just going to let her..."

"Silence," Long Qian looked sternly at the beautiful woman.

"Aunt," Bai Ningshuang stamped her foot in anger. She had already heard about her son Long Ji's situation. She hadn't even had a chance to go see how badly he was injured, but just hearing the vivid description from the messenger made her heart ache.

"Do you really have to speak like this?" The old madam, Long Qian, took a deep breath and firmly struck her long staff on the ground. "You just now..."

"You can't not know what I did just now?"

"That beast, Long Ji, insulted my mother like that at the city gate. This hasn't been a one-time thing, has it?"

"Traitor? Is that the crime you group of Long Clan cowards framed her with?"

"How can such an aloof and proud person accept such a crime from you?"

"When she single-handedly fought against the Shuntian Prefecture, where were you, her cowardly clansmen, who only knew how to hide at the bottom of the sea?"

"Moaning without illness, living a drunken dream?"

"Only asking about today, how much does the fleeting world matter?"

"You laughed watching her, a foolish woman, sacrifice her entire life for your broken clan, and in the end, even her life was lost. Very funny, isn't it?"

"I think it's very funny too! Haha! What a tragic life indeed."

"Stop talking!" Long Qian roared in anger.

"She was destined to be alone!" Qiaomu suddenly raised her voice, her cold tone overriding Long Qian's roar.

"Do you understand 'destined to be alone'?"

"Family, parents, elder brother, husband, son, daughter—she had nothing left! In the end, she died alone, miserably in that secret realm, battered by the wind and rain."

"Don't you have a heart? Don't you feel pain???" She didn't know why, but by the end, her eyes were filled with tears.

Long Qian stood with her long staff, her face stern.

Long Chuyu, however, burst into tears with a "wah" sound and rushed forward to embrace the little poker face.

He was caught off guard by a strong push, meeting a pair of bone-chilling phoenix eyes.

Mo Lian wrapped his arm around the young girl, his emotions suppressed, his voice low and trembling. "Let's go back."
