Tuan Zi—who was abandoned, was—speechless. Master, did you say something wrong? Hm? You're not serious, right?!
With that last bit of hope, Tuan Zi turned its head with much difficulty and glanced at Chu Liuyue, its eyes watery.
Chu Liuyue returned a gaze that meant she would love to help but couldn't. I'm sorry! My instincts tell me that this incident is very serious—extremely serious!
Seeing the few elders' current state… If I don't remove myself from the situation, I will be punished harshly. Chu Liuyue personally thought that she didn't have the strength to go against these three elders. Then… We'll try to save as many as we can!
She held Tuan Zi's wings and passed it forward. Her expression was filled with apology and sincerity. "It's all because I didn't teach it properly, causing such an issue. But I'm really incapable, and I couldn't guard it properly just now…"
