Chapter 5216: 5.0968 Shameless to the Extreme

"I want it! I want this Qiankun Dou Zhuan Talisman!"

Qin Hong was most skilled at observing people's expressions. After glancing at Mu Xiaoxue, he knew exactly what she was thinking. He couldn't help but laugh. This Mu Xiaoxue, her expression was incredibly greedy. Such a tiny, ordinary ant, daring to show such a face in front of him, was truly quite interesting.

Luo He extended his pale tongue, licking the corners of his mouth, and smiled sinisterly, "It seems, Miss Mu, you are truly very interested in this talisman."

Interested? Of course, she was interested, interested to the point of death!

Mu Xiaoxue quickly reined in her expression, remembering her current predicament. She frantically shook her head, putting on a pitiful act. "No, no, I, I didn't, I didn't tell Senior Brother to steal anything. Please believe me, this truly has nothing to do with me."

"Is that so?"

At this moment, Zhao Yi, hanging above, finally clearly heard Mu Xiaoxue's evasive words. Mu Xiaoxue repeatedly tried to shift the blame onto him. Even if Zhao Yi was a dimwit, he could finally understand what was going on. Mu Xiaoxue wanted him to take all the blame, completely disregarding his life or death!

"Junior Sister, how could you be like this?" Zhao Yi shouted, and immediately, a whip lashed his legs, causing him to scream in agony.

Mu Xiaoxue's face turned deathly pale with fright. She clutched her chest tightly with both hands, softly and pitifully calling out, "Senior Brother, please don't wrongly accuse me. I, I know, you, you want to drag me down so that you can, can attract my father's rescue. But, but, at a time like this, father, how could father come to help either of us?"

Useless man! Couldn't even steal a talisman! You die on your own, don't drag me down! Mu Xiaoxue roared internally with fury, yet on her face, she habitually feigned a small, frightened expression.

Zhao Yi was so angry that he kept shaking his legs, causing his body to swing back and forth in the air. "Mu Xiaoxue, you actually treat me like this, Mu Xiaoxue! Who was I doing this for? For whom?!"

Mu Xiaoxue couldn't help but gnash her teeth in anger. This stinking man, if he truly cared for her, he wouldn't have implicated her when things went wrong. A useless and incompetent stinking man, now he still wanted to drag her down with him. She wouldn't die with him. As long as she refused to admit anything, even Patriarch Qin and Master Luo would have to be reasonable, right? She was the biological daughter of Hall Master Mu and City Lord Mu. Before they killed her, they'd at least have to consider her father's and mother's reputations, right?

Thinking this, Mu Xiaoxue felt as if she had swallowed a calming pill. She knelt there calmly and respectfully, saying, "Patriarch, Master Luo, I truly am being wrongly accused. I didn't, I never asked Senior Brother to steal any Qiankun Dou Zhuan Talisman for me."

"So, you're saying that your Senior Brother wanted to steal this talisman himself to win your favor?" Luo He interjected, giving Mu Xiaoxue a sinister look.

Mu Xiaoxue, however, remained kneeling, not uttering a sound. Although she said nothing, her silence indicated her agreement with Luo He's statement. It was Zhao Yi's own desire to please her that led him to steal the talisman, not her instigation. She did nothing; she was just a helpless little white flower, how could she possibly instruct others to do this or that? Senior Brother Zhao simply misunderstood her intentions. What else could he do, being incompetent and then getting caught red-handed trying to steal a talisman from Master Luo?
