Watching the Outer Elder in front of him, Xu Fan's mind was spinning rapidly.
"Elder, what do you mean by that?"
Xu Fan managed to strike the right tone of fear and confusion.
"The Sect is at a critical moment when Artifact Refiners are needed, yet you are busy with private matters," the Outer Elder glared and said, while humming a small tune in his heart. The task assigned by the Peak Master had been completed.
"I......."
"I originally wanted to contribute to the Sect, but I was heavily injured while being pursued after leaving the Sect half a month ago. It's only now that I have fully recovered."
"This Artifact is just something that I had arranged to refine for someone else. The deadline is approaching, so I hurried over to refine it."
"Tomorrow, I will accept the Sect's tasks."
Xu Fan cautiously said, as Nascent Soul stage cultivators were Big Shots to him and he didn't dare offend them.
