"Green Luo, why were you so slow?!"
In the sky above Ancient Saint City, I pointed at Green Luo's nose and launched into a tirade. "After the Stone Clan ran into trouble, I immediately sent you to bring word to the Ancient Clan. Why did you only arrive today?"
"If you'd arrived just a little sooner and reported the news to Senior Gu Yuan, he would've been on his guard. Could the Soul Clan have succeeded today? Could the Tou She Ancient God Jade have been lost?"
"How did I end up keeping such a useless subordinate? You can't even handle this little task. What do I need you for?!"
Green Luo: "???"
When she'd left back then, hadn't he said there was no need to hurry, that delivering the message was all that mattered? Why was he blaming her now?
Green Luo felt terribly wronged. She dropped to her knees before me with a thud. "Lord Alliance Leader, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me!"
I snorted coldly without so much as looking at her, then sighed at Gu Yuan, my face full of self-reproach.
"Senior Gu Yuan, this was all because I failed to think things through. Otherwise, if your clan had been notified in advance, how could the likes of Hun Miesheng and Hun Tiandi possibly have stolen the Tou She Ancient God Jade from you?"
Gu Yuan froze slightly, then hurriedly shook his head. "You're being too hard on yourself, young friend. What happened today was entirely due to our own inadequate precautions. We didn't even know that a Soul Clan mole had been planted within our clan for a hundred years, leading to today's mishap."
"We're already endlessly grateful that you sent someone to warn us and lent us a hand today!"
*That's exactly
