"Lord Marquis, I am incompetent and have failed the mission, please punish me,"
Wuxin knelt on the ground, her black robe still stained with thick blood. After the battle with Gu Chen, she had hurried back to the border without a moment's pause to report the news to the Marquis of Pingxi.
"You're saying that Gu Chen can actually rival a grandmaster now?" the Marquis of Pingxi frowned immediately upon hearing this news.
Gu Chen was originally a minor figure in his eyes; had it not been for Gu Chen's involvement in the death of his legitimate son, Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Pingxi wouldn't have given him a second thought.
Yet now, this insignificant figure could actually rival a grandmaster.
This was something the Marquis of Pingxi never expected.
"Lord Marquis, I am incompetent, please punish me," Wuxin said in a low voice.
At that moment, Wuying appeared behind the Marquis of Pingxi and said, "Since the mission has failed, then sever one of your arms as a slight punishment."
