Without a word.
For these two old jianghu, there is really no necessity to engage in verbal spats before the real fight.
But things are often just this way, if a conflict is clearly imminent, there is no first throw of blows without a precede of words.
Without first engaging in a war of words, it seems like skipping an essential pre-battle protocol.
Both were aware that Dong Xiaoyan was merely buying time, but they also knew that in such a situation, it was almost impossible for backup to arrive. The lady was destined to have wasted her effort in vain.
Moreover, they knew that Miao Yusheng was teasing them like a cat playing with a mouse, doing his utmost to vent the resentment in his heart.
There was nothing they could do about this, for they couldn't interrupt the opponent's game of cat and mouse while Dong Xiaoyan was purposely dragging out time.
Because, this was Dong Xiaoyan's effort.
And the two were still hoping, what if...what if a saviour appeared?
