Teng Liang and Bu Siqi were among them.
"Can you tell anything from their tone?" Xia Hanshi asked casually, though his expression was solemn. "Is Su Chen alright?"
Chong Jingtian glanced at him. 'This old fellow might look unconcerned, but he's more worried about Su Chen than anyone else.'
He shook his head. "The liaisons from both sides were the ones communicating. I only responded after I received the message myself, so I didn't get any useful information."
"But he should have reached the Sect safely."
"Don't worry," Shi Yunzhou chimed in. "That kid Su Chen is a crafty one. He'll definitely land on his feet. As his teacher, you should know that better than anyone."
"He's not in Ying Feng anymore, dealing with a bunch of us old invalids. Being crafty isn't enough," Xia Hanshi retorted with a sidelong glance.
He had never been particularly fond of the elders, and now that Su Chen had left with Qing Cang, he cared even less, speaking without the slightest bit of courtesy.
