「Qin Family Domain」
In the main hall of the family headquarters, the current Patriarch, Qin Zhongqi, leaned back in a Jade Chair, his expression so grim it looked like it could drip water.
"…So, the plan just failed like that?"
He asked grimly, the anger in his tone barely concealed.
Elder Qin Wuyan chose his words carefully. "The news came from Wuyang Ancestor. He said the operation was going quite smoothly and was on the verge of success when that Shangguan Qingying suddenly arrived, so…"
Since this was a matter of face, True Monarch Wuyang naturally wouldn't go into too much detail. He only mentioned that Shangguan Qingying's interference had caused the mission to fail at the cusp of success.
In any case, he was the only one to escape alive. The Qin Family had no way of learning the details for the time being, so he could spin the story however he pleased.
