Chapter 2847: Chapter 2847: What’s the Point of Punishing You?

“That’s natural.”

Aunt Qiu responded, she of course needed to remind the master.

“Have you rested enough? If you’ve rested, let’s set off.” She urged.

“Okay.”

Shadow Killer’s eyes darkened slightly, he stood up bracing against the tree trunk with one hand and sighed heavily again.

“Let’s go, the master is still waiting for our news.”

Who knows if when they return this time, the master will have them killed. The mission was a complete failure, and there’s no chance for another attempt.

She didn’t have the same optimistic view as Aunt Qiu, the defenses at Camp Zhan Yun would be even tighter, there would be no opportunity to succeed again, not even if the master came personally.

Moreover, the master wouldn’t personally do such a thing.

…

“Failed?!”

Inside the bamboo house, the masked man’s voice was sharp like a knife as he questioned Shadow Killer.

“What were you doing, to fail such a simple task? Aunt Qiu, tell me what exactly happened?”

He looked at Aunt Qiu on the side and asked.

Upon hearing the master’s question, Aunt Qiu’s body involuntarily trembled. Though her cultivation level was not high, she could clearly feel that the master had murderous intentions.

“Master, the people at Camp Zhan Yun were well-prepared. We were surrounded as soon as we entered their camp. If it weren’t for Shadow Killer fighting desperately to break through, we would all have been trapped there.”

She laid out everything that happened after they entered Camp Zhan Yun to the master.

At this moment, she dared not attribute any blame to Shadow Killer, fearing he might reveal the matter about pushing Gao Dong to deliver the blueprints.

If the master were to find out about this, she couldn’t be sure whether he would kill her in his fury.

“Worthless!”

The masked man shouted angrily.

This situation clearly showed that the people at Camp Zhan Yun had intentionally laid a trap. How could these two fools have fallen for it?

“Aunt Qiu, if it were only Shadow Killer failing, I might have let it slide. You are the person I trust the most, why would you fail when you went personally?”

He looked coldly at Aunt Qiu and asked.

Aunt Qiu felt her scalp tingle sharply, she felt dreadful.

Could this be blamed on her? If blame was to be laid, it should be on those at Camp Zhan Yun for being too cunning, having made preparations, and causing them such heavy losses.

“It’s due to my incompetence, please punish me, master.”

She knelt before the masked man, voluntarily seeking punishment.

Shadow Killer saw her and knelt down as well. Anyway, since this mission was executed by both him and Aunt Qiu, the master might be reluctant to punish her. Of course, the premise being that the master doesn’t know about Gao Dong’s death.

He thought, best to wait until the master’s anger subsided before delivering that news, speaking of it now would only add fuel to the fire.

“Punishment, what’s the use of punishing you?” The masked man exhaled heavily, his teeth itching with anger.

They already suffered heavy losses this time. If these two were to be punished harshly now, wouldn’t it be like cutting off his own arm? He wouldn’t do such foolish things.

“The operation this time failed, assassinating those people is no longer possible. You two go back for now, I’ll think about what to do next.” He waved his hand at the two, signaling them to leave.

He was very vexed; how could such an easy task fail?

Are the people at Camp Zhan Yun really that formidable? Preventing him from succeeding in killing even a few people?
