Chapter 4551: 5.0303 Changing Faces

On the other side.

Qiao Mu's eyes sparkled as she looked at the spirit coin card handed to her. Her large eyes suddenly shifted, and her gaze fell upon the brother and sister, Long Hui and Long Xiangyun.

Long Xiangyun: She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but for an instant, she felt the little stoic's gaze towards her seemed to soften slightly. Damn it!

The originally cold little face seemed to warm up slightly, like melting glaciers.

"Serve tea."

Mo Lian, sitting beside her, couldn't help but twitch his lips.

At that moment, a group of people were sitting around a bonfire in the snow pit.

After the little one's shout, Feng Changqing suppressed a laugh and, resigned to his fate, took two clean teacups and handed a cup of tea to the Long family siblings.

Did you see that? Did you see that?

Everyone exchanged glances, their eyes twitching.

The difference between making offerings and not making offerings was quite significant.

Long Hui cleared his throat, thanked them, took the teacup, and then, after catching his breath, said, "Cousin, here's the seventy million in boat fees you're owed."

As Long Hui spoke, he very consciously pulled out another small bag and handed it over. "And twenty spirit stones for the teleportation fee."

Everyone's mouths twitched.

Long Xiangyun, standing by, wished she could cover her face; she almost couldn't bear to look.

Her elder brother's current cowardly demeanor was truly... too servile.

Qiao Mu pondered to herself: So, Long Hui and his sister came to give her money.

When she first didn't know, she thought these two siblings came to the island to gather military intelligence. That's why when she saw the old man release corpses to torment them, the young couple showed no reaction and just watched the show.

If they had said they were coming to deliver money earlier, then Master Qiao Qiao wouldn't have bothered them.

Long Xiangyun suddenly noticed that when the little stoic looked at their brother and sister, her expression was gentle, and her eyes were kind and benevolent, as if radiating holy light...

"It's good that you can come to this realization," the little stoic said with an expression of an old person relieved.

Mu Xingchen almost choked on his tea, immediately attracting countless accusing stares.

Especially from his brother-in-law, who was staring at him like an idiot, his little eyes clearly saying: Brother-in-law, are you an imbecile? Didn't you see that everyone else isn't drinking water right now?!

"Speak, besides bringing money, what other situation do you have?" Qiao Mu silently put away the spirit coin card and spirit stones, then asked.

Long Hui's expression gradually turned serious. "Cousin, Heaven's Will sent someone the day before yesterday to contact grandmother about cooperation."

Everyone was startled.

Mu Xingchen's face darkened. "They're eyeing the Wangchuan Clan territory? They want to develop Wangchuan into a Heaven's Will base?"

Long Xiangyun couldn't help but say angrily, "They wouldn't dare!"

Long Hui took a deep breath, then exhaled a murky breath. "I think... they have that intention."

The little stoic glanced at them. "Did the old lady agree?"

Is she unwilling to even call her 'grandmother' now? Long Xiangyun thought with a mix of emotions, feeling a jumble of thoughts in her head, unsure what she was regretting.

"No, grandmother didn't agree."

"She will agree," Qiao Mu said coldly. "For the sake of your entire Wangchuan, she will compromise."

Long Hui's eyes instantly widened, and his heart pounded, a tangled mess.

Why, why did his little cousin say the exact same thing as his father?

"So Father asked us to come find you, to definitely think of a way to stop this," Long Hui said hurriedly. "Everyone now clearly understands what kind of existence Heaven's Will is."
