Baqizi arrived in the outer hall to find Mu Tian City pacing back and forth, looking agitated.
Upon seeing Baqizi, he immediately hurried over. "Baqizi, Lord Divine Son didn't contact you to reprimand you, did he?"
"?"
"Apparently not." Seeing Baqizi's confused expression, Mu Tian City nodded. "That's good. I was worried Lord Divine Son would take his anger out on you over the failed operation."
"…"
Baqizi knew about the plan Mu Tian City had orchestrated: an operation to travel to the Andai Kingdom and seize the two fragments from Shadow.
Without the general location she had provided for the fragments, the operation would have never found its target.
"I really thought a surprise attack would be effective. I never expected..." Mu Tian City sighed. "Alas, it seems I still underestimated Shadow. But it's no wonder. Since he's called the 'World's First Ascender,' he was bound to be a tough opponent."
