Under everyone's gaze, Chu Fei really wanted to say—what are you looking at me for?
But considering his current status, he simply could not say that. As the head of research for this delegation, Chu Fei was practically the second-ranking figure, second only to Deputy Hall Master Wei Yunfan.
So the question was, Deputy Hall Master, what were you looking at me for?
Chu Fei grumbled inwardly, but he had no choice but to rapidly consider how to handle this.
The several elf "prisoners" nearby were clearly panicking too, muttering among themselves. Chu Fei roughly understood: they were screwed, and struggling was pointless.
