Blinking, Sikong Jing replied strangely, "Lord Yao, you must be joking. What could I possibly use to bribe you?"
He was completely unable to make sense of the situation. He had suddenly been brought up here, and now there was talk of ghosts swallowing people and bribery.
What the hell was any of this?
At that moment, Yao Yuzhi spoke again. "You indeed did not bribe me, but I'm afraid someone won't believe that. Those two idiot watchers lost track of you, and I also failed to discover that you were in the sea of flowers earlier..."
Suppressing her frustration, she casually explained what had happened before.
At the same time, she said that if she could not provide a reasonable explanation, people would likely claim that Yao Yuzhi had deliberately favored Sikong Jing. Clearly, a single thought could have located him, yet someone as powerful as the chief adjudicator had somehow failed to find him.
If that was not deliberate favoritism, then what was it?
After Yao Yuzhi had more or less finished explaining, she stared fixedly at Sikong Jing and asked, "So tell me now. How did you disappear right before those two watchers' eyes, and how did you conceal yourself so that none of us could detect you?"
Hearing this, Sikong Jing finally understood completely. So it was because of the Shadow Moon Rat.
When the Shadow Moon Rat appeared, even Tyrant Heaven watchers at the peak of the Golden Body Realm could not see it clearly. While he cultivated the Shadow Moon beast technique, his aura had nearly merged into the bright moonlight, which was why Yao Yuzhi had failed to detect him as well.
Naturally, someone would question this...
Even if no one questioned it now, once the quota battle ended, they would still lodge
