"A-Ah… junior greets senior sister Long," Ming Hao said, immediately becoming obedient and respectful all of a sudden.
Long Yi, wearing a long, eastern-themed robe, shot him a cold look then turned to her brother. "Little brother… I hope you remember our deal."
Hearing this, Long Lu bowed and gulped in fear. "Y-Yes, big sister. Don't worry, after this time, I won't ever trouble you again."
"Good. And…" She turned her icy stare on me. "… Who is this?"
"A friend," Long Lu replied briskly, tone quiet and meek in front of his sister's pressuring aura.
"Hm… a friend? You don't usually make friends, little brother. This boy must be quite special, for you to befriend him."
"You flatter me," I said calmly, refusing to bow or tremble in her presence like the other two. "I am just a normal person trying to get stronger like anybody else."
