- I Die Free: With his legs cut off and chains stabbed into his shoulders, Long Que begs Zhou Zishu to cut off the chains so he can die a free man instead of a humiliated one.
- That Thing Is Not My Child!: Long Que says this, considering that Long Xiao has tortured him and amputated him just because he thinks that Long Que doesn't want to see him well.
- The Mourning After: The reason people didn't question the disappearance of Long Que is because he had isolated himself after his wife died, not wanting to see anyone or anything that may remind him of her.

- Trap Master: Quite literally. The Long Yuan Pavilion is known for it's traps and mechanics. It is also one of the only things Long Xiao can exceed at.
- Vague Age: The actor who plays him has dwarfism, the voice actor sounds like a child, due to the disability not being specified as having dwarfism or disabled legs, just how old is Long Xiao?
