Chapter 1511: A Favor
Ye Guan's voice trembled slightly with disbelief. "That senior... is he really..."
Tian He nodded solemnly. "Don't overthink it. This was my fault. I failed to fully heed You Lian's warning. If I had taken her seriously from the beginning, we wouldn't have been caught off guard like this."
Ye Guan fell silent, and a complex mix of emotions weighed on him.
Tian He gave Ye Guan's shoulder a firm, comforting pat. "Focus on healing for now."
With that, he turned and disappeared into the distance.
Ye Guan let out a long sigh.
Elsewhere, Tian He found the woman in white from earlier. She stood atop a mountain peak, her face cold and distant, like a statue carved from ice.
Tian He sighed softly. "Little one... this was my fault."
The woman looked at him. "Why did you go all out to save him?"
"It was You Lian's wish," Tian He replied.
The woman in white's brows drew together ever so slightly.
Tian He continued, "She was sent to the empire by the former clan leader. She's one of us. She sent word, asking us to protect that young man at all costs.
