How could he not worry? Nichen was his task, meant to die by his hand, yet who could have known that the lad would have such a tremendous fate, to actually make it back alive to the Eternal Night Sect!
No one knows how he returned, and the Great Elder doesn't have that kind of capability. Why did he fail then?
"The chief elder won't waste any more words here, I must go see the lady," he flicked his sleeve, preparing to report this task to Lady Leng.
Regardless of whether the task was completed, he had carried it out. If it wasn't completed, it was because someone interfered, and it shouldn't be blamed on him.
He hoped Lady Leng would not place all the blame on him.
"No rush, no rush."
The Great Elder stopped him, his face brightened with a smile.
"Fourth Elder, you and the others wait here, the lady will come to meet us."
