The recently terrified Gongyang Ying and others let out a long breath, their eyes shimring with brilliance...
But Gongyang Ying couldn’t understand why the Shadow Moon Rat suddenly beca obedient, when it was clearly about to harm Sikong Jing just monts ago?
As the entire hall fell silent, Sikong Jing clasped his fists towards Yao Yuzhi and asked, "Lord Yao, I shouldn’t be considered guilty anymore, right? Can I go back to rest now?"
Yao Yuzhi stared intensely at the Shadow Moon Rat on Sikong Jing’s shoulder, equally baffled as to how he had conquered it.
Surely, the first thing she saw was the Shadow Moon Rat’s intent to harm him.
Nevertheless, she retorted, "Since the Shadow Moon Rat is your pet beast, why didn’t you say so earlier?"
Sikong Jing laughed heartily and replied, "The Shadow Moon Rat is incredibly valuable, and it’s also my darling. I think if I weren’t forced into a corner, I’d never reveal it, right?"
At this mont, Sikong Jing had withdrawn the aura of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, and the Shadow Moon Rat had co back to its senses.
It bared its teeth at Sikong Jing, wanting to say, ’I’m your beloved sister, who was about to use as a wager just now?’
But as soon as Sikong Jing’s gaze landed on it, the Shadow Moon Rat shuddered violently.
It couldn’t comprehend why this human’s eyes harbored the will of a high-level terrifying fierce beast.
Yao Yuzhi observed Sikong Jing deeply and then nodded slightly.
"The truth has co to light; Sikong Jing was protecting his pet beast and is without fault."
"Yang Hua’s deputy team did not adequately investigate whether the Shadow Moon Rat had an owner before pressuring the people of the East Plain Northern Land, they bear great responsibility."
"Sikong Jing also bears so responsibility for not imdiately informing others that the Shadow Moon Rat was his pet beast, but everyone has their secrets, and now with the secret exposed potentially attracting danger, no punishnt will be given."
With these words, mbers of the Lihua Team were boiling with anger.
"Lord Yao has delivered fair judgnt. I take my leave," Sikong Jing clasped his fists, turned, and strode out of the grand hall.
Gongyang Ying and Chou Zhan both bade farewell to Yao Yuzhi as well, and went after Sikong Jing.
The people from the Northern Land were all jubilant, laughing as they exited the grand hall.
Ultimately, only the Lihua Team, Nu Hua Team, and Yao Yuzhi remained in the hall.
Yang Li glared fiercely at Yao Yuzhi, uttering a cold threat, "Very well, Yao Yuzhi, you’re ruthless. Today’s event will be rembered by , Yang Li, and returned a hundredfold."
After speaking, Yang Li turned to Hua ixi and said, "You little bitch with the surna Hua, wait until we return to Hanluan City and you’ll see what’s coming."
The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the grand hall as Yang Li led the mbers of her team out; they no longer wished to stay in this shaful Minglong Village, opting to board their Divine Shuttle Craft and return to the Central Plains directly.
In the grand hall, only Yao Yuzhi and Hua ixi remained.
"Why is Sikong Jing so troubleso?"
Hua ixi was actually quite upset inwardly, not having been able to reprimand Sikong Jing.
Yao Yuzhi furrowed her brow, suddenly lifted her head and said, "Shadow Moon Rat, ghostly attack..."
"I understand now, the supposed ghostly attack on Sikong Jing in Minglong Dominator Valley was actually from the Shadow Moon Rat."
Hua ixi froze at these words, and suddenly she understood too.
The peculiarity of the Shadow Moon Rat was unseen by the Peak Golden Body Realm Overlord Monitor, yet Hua ixi murmured, "So, the Shadow Moon Rat was conquered by him in Batian Valley, how did he achieve this?"
If the Shadow Moon Rat were that easy to conquer, it wouldn’t be considered a fierce beast.
"Exclusive skills."
Yao Yuzhi remarked coldly with these four words, still puzzled by how previously the Shadow Moon Rat had erged with the intent to harm.
The two won increasingly felt that Sikong Jing was quite mysterious.
...
Back at the North Courtyard, Sikong Jing and the people from the East Plain Northern Land had another drink, this ti a farewell drink.
In another day, Sikong Jing and the three others... and of course Guo Zixia and the two others would depart, and the people of the Northern Land would ultimately return to the East Plain Northern Land to continue their next five-year genius plan.
At this point, Lang Zhengzhi suddenly said, "Brother Sikong, once you reach Hanluan City in the Central Plains East, you must be cautious of Yang Li, as the Yang Family is one of the strongest families within the East Dominator Branch and even Hanluan City. She certainly won’t let things slide."
To this, Sikong Jing’s eyes glinted with cold light, nodding to express his thanks.
The others, like Elder Mo, fell into silence upon hearing this, despite Sikong Jing having won this round, it was because he had leveraged Yao Yuzhi, the Supre Judge’s influence, and due to Yao Yuzhi’s fairness and justice.
Without this, it would have been difficult to escape misfortune; what will Sikong Jing do when he reaches their territory?
"Steward Hua, you also need to discuss this with Captain Hua." Elder Ge looked at Hua Lidian, who was drinking in silence.
Although it’s known that Hua Lidian and Hua ixi, the father and daughter, have discord, it’s clear that Hua ixi still cares deeply about her father.
To this, Hua Lidian raised his head slightly, sowhat intoxicated, and spoke, "The Yao Family is not weak either..."
The elders were stunned, the Yao Family?
"Yes, Yao Yuzhi’s brother, Yao Yulou, is the Family Head of the Yao Family, he rose in Hanluan City and joined the Overlord Comrce, otherwise why do you think Yao Yuzhi can suppress Yang Li?" Hua Lidian spoke softly.
The Five Elders had been away from Hanluan City too long, having never heard of the Yao Family, but Hua Lidian, being younger, knew.
Because the Yao Family had risen in these recent years.
The elders realized this fact, and their concern for Sikong Jing eased slightly.
Of course, for them...
The Northern Land talents who went to Hanluan City had few survivors, even if Sikong Jing hadn’t offended Ju Dan or Yang Li, surviving there was still a complete unknown.
Speaking of which, Hua Lidian took another gulp of his drink, stood up lightly and said, "Brother Sikong, would you walk with ?"
Sikong Jing was slightly taken aback, imdiately nodding his head as he sensed Hua Lidian had sothing to say to him.
With that, the two walked out of the North Courtyard and strolled in the quiet night within Batian Manor, suddenly Hua Lidian stopped inside an ancient pavilion and did sothing unexpected to Sikong Jing.
With a thud, he heavily knelt before Sikong Jing...
Sikong Jing was startled and quickly stepped forward to help Hua Lidian up, saying, "Mr. Hua, what is the aning of this? Please get up."
"Brother Sikong, listen to first."
Hua Lidian wouldn’t let Sikong Jing help him, forcibly using his True Qi of the Reverse Soul Realm to press his knees down and said, "I have a request."
Under the moonlight, Hua Lidian’s eyes were already red.
Sikong Jing stared at him blankly, then said, "Mr. Hua, please stand and speak."
Shaking his head, Hua Lidian remained kneeling and said, "Brother Sikong, it’s clear that Yao Yuzhi values you highly. If you have the opportunity, can you visit the Yao Family?"
"ixi’s mother is currently there."
Saying this, Hua Lidian shiveredly took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Sikong Jing, murmuring softly, "Please bring this jade pendant to her and say Hua Lidian... is sorry for her!"
