Chapter 651: If you're hard-hearted, I'll be unfair

It was unclear whether Mu Linger could read the hidden meaning in Han Yunxi's gaze, but she returned the mischievous laugh with one of her own and entered into the fray.

"All of you, shield me!"

"Mu Linger, this has nothing to do with you! Get lost!" Duanmu Yao panicked. Why didn't she remember this girl was around, too?

"Han Yunxi's my boss, so her business is my business!" Mu Linger wasn't just confident, but even imitated Duanmu Yao's earlier huffy tone. "Duanmu Yao, this girl will only give you one chance. Be good and hand over that letter, or else..." She trailed off into ominous chuckles just like Han Yunxi. Seeing this, Han Yunxi set her worries at ease. She knew that Mu Linger understood what to do!

"Stop meddling in other people's business! Die!" Duanmu Yao raised her sword and executed a series of beautiful katas straight at Mu Linger. Although she looked fearless, her heart was filled with tension.

She'd be more than equal to the task of fighting off eleven men and a single Han Yunxi, but she was less sure against Mu Linger.

"Chu Xifeng, hurry and charge!" Mu Linger called. In response, Chu Xifeng and the ten guards all rushed to surround Duanmu Yao once again. She fended them off as she raged.

"You're all men, yet you have the shame to bully a single girl like me?"

"Just hand over the letter peacefully. I promise nobody wants to bully you at all!" Mu Linger laughed disdainfully. She was still standing on the side to wait for the perfect chance.

Of course Duanmu Yao knew she was scoping out the situation, so she kept part of her attention on Mu Linger as well. But that moment of inattention allowed Chu Xifeng and the rest to draw closer until she was forced to give them her full efforts again. After a few rounds, they seemed evenly matched. Chu Xifeng's group couldn't gain an advantage, just as Duanmu Yao couldn't slip away. She was getting more and more worried that Mu Linger would strike. Her sword parried Chu Xifeng's with a vicious strike before she twirled in a circle to press back the guards with the edge of her blade in a sweeping arc. Only then did she gain enough time to catch her breath and speak.

"Senior brother," she shouted, "I've incurred a serious internal injury. Can you help me treat my wounds? Master–" She wanted to reveal the full contents of the letter and that it didn't even matter whether he read it or not. Any excuse for her to withdraw gracefully from the topic would be good. But before she could finish, Mu Linger flew over with alarming speeds.

Surprised, Duanmu Yao moved to block her, but Chu Xifeng and the guards beset her again. At the critical moment, their threat eclipsed that of Mu Linger, so her instincts had her moving to defend against them instead. But Mu Linger didn't attack at all. She drew close enough to grab Duanmu Yao's collar, then violently tore the fabric.

Riiiiippp...

The sound froze everyone in their tracks, including Duanmu Yao herself. The ethereal white fabric beneath her little red jacket had gained a fresh new tear, causing the letter hidden there to drop to the ground. The pale yellow fabric binding her chest was revealed to the world. While everyone stared stunned, Han Yunxi and Mu Linger only grinned. Han Yunxi's smile was leisurely and lethargic, while Mu Linger's looked sweet and perfectly harmless.

These pair of cousins really were one of a kind.

"Ahhh....!" Duanmu Yao shrieked as she shielded her chest with her hands. She re-buttoned her jacket, but it only covered the top portion of her dress and did nothing for the torn section beneath. She looked around her and saw nothing but men staring at her instead!
