"Father, Lin Xian'er has failed." Gong He approached Gong Tianhai, knelt on one knee, and said with a hint of guilt.
Ever since he turned thirteen, Gong Tianhai had been intent on training him, instructing him to do many things, which he had always accomplished well. This was the first time he had failed to complete a task assigned by Gong Tianhai. He felt very remorseful and somewhat apprehensive, fearing that Gong Tianhai would blame him or be disappointed in him.
Gong Tianhai naturally noticed Gong He's expression. In fact, when Gong He first told him about this plan, he already knew it wouldn't work, because he understood Wen Guiyun better than Gong He did. He knew Wen Guiyun wouldn't come to Yuqiu Pass unprepared. However, seeing Gong He's serious attitude towards this matter, he didn't say anything. Thus, at this moment, he wasn't as disappointed in Gong He as Gong He imagined.
