"I understand."
Fang Han's expression was unchanged, his voice calm as he spoke.
He offered no excuses, just a simple acknowledgment.
'Whether I have the strength or not will be clear when the time comes. A war of words is meaningless right now.'
Jin Han glanced at Fang Han and said no more, but her placid eyes, like a still well, clearly held a hint of doubt.
Chen Tianyuan took in both their reactions. He didn't offer any further explanation, simply stating faintly:
"This matter is settled. Elder Jin, you will come to know Fang Han's strength in due time."
His gaze swept over the two of them.
"To prevent any information from leaking, you will depart tonight. Change into plain clothes and act discreetly."
"Yes."
Fang Han and Jin Han rose at the same time, cupping their fists in acknowledgment.
After leaving the Sect Leader's Hall, the cool evening breeze rushed to meet them, carrying the unique chill of the mountains.
