The man in black grew somewhat anxious, yet, in deference to his master's orders, he dared not act on his own initiative and awaited Sikong Ling's command. For other matters, he might have a rough idea of his master's decision-making. But when it came to Miss Su, the normally astute master became somewhat unpredictable, leaving him unsure of what decision would be made.
Sikong Ling nodded, "Have them follow behind and protect Miss Su and her party. They must not fail."
The man in black saw Sikong Ling nod and felt a surge of relief, thinking that his master indeed understood the stakes and would not let a woman interfere with important matters. However, upon hearing the subsequent order, his face twitched. Fortunately, he was accustomed to his master's exceptional behavior concerning matters involving Miss Su, so he was not overly surprised.
