His words were earnest and heartfelt. Although he suppressed his anger, every word he uttered was for the sake of the sect and for the younger generation. He himself silently took on the arduous task of dispatching personnel to the mine.
Gu Xuanchen looked at the weariness that Elder Qingxuan couldn't hide in his eyes and the forced gentleness he was trying to maintain. He lowered his eyes, and unusually obediently bowed in Elder Qingxuan's direction, his voice deep and muffled: "Yes, disciple... will follow the elder's teachings."
Seeing that his attitude was acceptable, Qingxuan's tense expression eased slightly. He nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave the private room in a hurry, clearly intending to immediately deal with the troublesome mineral vein matter.
