Fang Han saw their reactions clearly and understood perfectly, yet he felt no anger.
He knew that if he were in their shoes—waiting for days on end only to get a "newbie" for backup—he would probably have the same reaction.
In a way, Zhao Qian and the other six were dragged into this because of him.
If Tu Baichuan hadn't used this as a pretext to force the mission on him, the Sect would have likely sent an experienced Steward skilled in tracking and investigation.
That person might have found a clue and completed the mission long ago.
Now, the seven of them had to waste their time here with a "newbie" like him. With the mission's success still uncertain, it was only natural for them to feel some resentment.
His expression remained neutral as he nodded slightly.
"I will be relying on your experience, my senior brothers and sisters."
With that, he followed Zhao Qian and the others into the deathly silent Huangshi Village.
