After confirming the news from the Extreme Night Maze, Su Ming thought for a moment before calling Chi Qian.
The call had barely gone through when it was answered.
"Leader! Are you all right!?"
Chi Qian's slightly urgent voice came from the other end of the terminal.
Su Ming could hear the worry and surprise in Chi Qian's voice, and his heart warmed slightly.
"I'm fine." Su Ming said in a comforting tone, "Sorry for making you worry."
"No, as long as you're all right." Chi Qian was clearly relieved, though she still spoke with lingering fear. "After we came out of the Extreme Night Maze, we immediately received an official notice from Tianfeng City saying that you had been brought back to Tianfeng City and were recuperating. Since you couldn't return right away, I thought you'd been seriously injured."
It was clear from her voice that Chi Qian had truly been worrying about Su Ming the whole time.
After all, during the battle on the tenth floor of the Extreme Night Maze, she and the others had only managed to escape and survive because of Su Ming and Haier's help. If something had happened to Su Ming because of that, Chi Qian probably would truly have been unable to recover from the grief.
"If I'd known the result would be like this, I would have—"
A trace of regret crept into Chi Qian's fearful voice.
She had only felt reassured enough to lead everyone away because she remembered that Su Ming had given them life-saving and escape tools. Even in the worst case, they could escape, so he should not have run into trouble.
If Su Ming had ultimately been the one to die, Chi Qian probably would never have been able to feel at ease again.
