Chapter 1083: Reversal
After taking a moment to compose themselves, Lei Yuce exchanged a glance with Wen Zhong, and the former shook his head ever so slightly.
Wen Zhong gave a slight nod in response, and the two of them remained silent, seemingly content to serve as bystanders.
After some contemplation, Su Anqian also decided to remain an impartial observer, while Fox 3 and Wyrm 3 naturally remained silent as well.
She Chan swept her gaze over everyone one after another before settling her gaze on the Lan siblings.
Lan Yuanzi cupped his fist in an apologetic salute as he said, "Please forgive us, Elder She. Lan Yan and I have already sworn a vow against going after Fellow Daoist Han for as long as we're in the Eon Pagoda. If you need our help in apprehending him, then I'm afraid we'll only be able to lend you our assistance once we've left this place."
"Are you an idiot? What does a trivial vow matter for in the face of the greater good? Have you forgotten our objective for hunting down this man?" She Chan snapped.
Lan Yuanzi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but after a brief hesitation, he maintained his cupped fist salute with his head lowered, and Lan Yan also did the same.
"Fine, do as you please then! Once we return to the sect, I'm going to report this matter to our patriarch and have your master provide an explanation for this farce!" She Chan said in a furious voice.
Lan Yan's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, but before she could do anything, Lan Yuanzi tugged on her sleeve as he said through voice transmission, "We can bear the consequences of disobeying orders, but if we go back on a vow, then our master will be extremely disappointed in us."
Lan Yan bowed her head again upon hearing this.
She Chan was feeling very embarrassed by the fact that even the fellow members of her own sect were unwilling to help her, and she threatened in a cold voice, "I hope you two won't come to regret this."
