"Where is Gu Yuexi?"
Old Chen—Chen Shanhe's—voice was heavy, betraying no emotion, yet it made everyone present tremble.
No one spoke.
Zhao Cheng opened his mouth, as if to say something like, "She's long dead."
But after a glance at Shen Yixuan, whose expression was so dark it could practically drip water, he tactfully shut his mouth.
The scene fell into a dead silence.
Shen Yixuan lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly.
"It's my fault..."
His voice was hoarse:
"I failed to lead the team well. When the plane crashed, Sister Gu went missing. We searched for three hours, but we couldn't find her..."
"Now... everyone else is out, but I..."
Shen Yixuan snapped his head up, his eyes shot with blood:
"I'm going back to find her right now!"
"I'll go too!"
Luo Qingyu also stepped forward, her long whip gripped tightly in her hand.
"Nonsense!"
Chen Shanhe bellowed, the pressure of a King Realm expert instantly erupting and rooting the students to the spot.
