Chapter 4654: 5.0406 Completely Embarrassed

"Now that she's lost face and is in a bind, she wants to drag my brother into it. Miss Duo, who do you think my brother is? He's not some scapegoat for you to order around, so just give it up."

After Long Xiangyun's sharp retort, she pulled her brother back a step, intending to keep a safe distance from Miss Duo.

Their relationship with Wangchuan Duoshi was only superficial; there was no need for them to step up and offend that vengeful little poker face. It wasn't worth the trouble!

Long Hui couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

His sister seemed to have matured a lot now...

The fundamental reason for this was that she had been scared senseless by the little poker face!

The two siblings had long since figured out a routine: the best way to interact with the little poker face was to mind their own business.

If you don't provoke her, she won't bother talking to you for ten or eight years...

But if you cross her, she'll return the favor tenfold, making you pay dearly until you're bleeding. That's just how it is.

In summary, don't provoke her, and everything is negotiable. Provoke her, and it's like stirring up a hornet's nest; she'll immediately show you what's what.

"Sister Xiangyun," Miss Duo called out indignantly, her eyes fixed on Long Hui with hope. "Brother Long Hui, it was just a misunderstanding. We didn't know why Elder suddenly attacked that girl."

"N-now, since Elder has already been taught a lesson, can this matter just be, just be dropped for now?"

Long Hui subconsciously turned to glance at the little poker face, then lightly coughed and said, "I apologize, but if you want to apologize, you'd best find the right person."

"I can't make decisions about this matter. The person you've offended is the Crown Princess of Divine State (the fierce little fiend). If you want to make amends, you should do it directly to her, shouldn't you?"

Miss Duo's eyes widened abruptly, as if she couldn't believe that Long Hui and his sister wouldn't help them.

"We also came here because we received a message from Captain Wu Cheng of the Fire Nightmare team, saying that Xiao Ming had been captured."

"Our original intention was just to save him; we had no other intentions."

Miss Duo's words earned a dismissive shrug from Long Xiangyun.

"Those words sound incredibly fake," Long Xiangyun thought to herself.

If they were truly sincere about resolving the situation, they wouldn't have caused such a big commotion from the start.

Nor would they have launched a mental attack on the little poker face the moment they met.

They didn't seem like they came to have a proper discussion at all. They clearly wanted to capture a key figure first and then use them to exchange for Duo Shanming, didn't they?

The old man had slowly quieted down by now, but he was completely unconscious.

Miss Duo was extremely flustered, but she still forced herself to maintain a bit of a dignified air. She took a deep breath and finally turned to face the little poker face, "Miss."

"We, Wangchuan Duoshi, have also heard about what happened earlier. It's true that my brother's arrogant attitude offended you all. However, he should have received his due punishment by now. Could you please show some leniency and release my brother?"

Qiao Mu found it a bit amusing.

In her eyes, these people were even worse than dogs begging by the roadside.

Each one of them was like an idiot, their thought processes completely different from normal people.

If they could defeat her, they clearly wouldn't be acting this way right now.

It was precisely because they couldn't defeat her and couldn't gain any advantage from her that they softened their attitude, yet their words were still quite ridiculous.

Why did they think they could try to intimidate Qiao Mu the moment they met her?
