No one was around, so Yao Wudi quickly concealed his embarrassed expression, furrowing his brows slightly:
"Do you really have to beat around the bush so much? These people have been under my watch for over a decade; there shouldn't be any problems."
Wang Ba replied with a wry smile:
"Please forgive me, Master, I had no choice."
With that, he told his master about the news and speculations he had heard from Ma Shengxu.
Then, with a hint of hesitation, he said:
"Disciple has come to seek guidance in person. With the disappearance of the two Elders this time, should I make the journey or not?"
Yao Wudi shook his head:
"Whether you should go or not, you already have an idea in your heart. Do you still need me to point it out?"
