Huang Yueli’s expression was calm, and she turned a blind eye to all the various gazes cast by the people around her.
It was not until Grandmaster Xiao collected all the wooden boxes that she followed the crowd and left.
Huang Yueli deliberately walked at the end of the line, lowered her head and kept silent. When no one was paying attention to her, she found a corner and ran away secretly.
Huang Yueli found an empty room and hurriedly changed her clothes.
Then, after putting on her disguise, she swaggered through the gate into the courtyard and came to the room where Grandmaster Xiao was.
In the room, the five Sky Gem Glass Chamber Grandmasters who were invited to serve as judges this time have all sat together and were in a heated discussion for a while.
These five people happened to be the five Sky Gem Glass Chamber Grandmasters who were invited by Divine General Mu to review her Spirit Armament Illustrations when Huang Yueli first arrived in Medial Arch City City.
Of course, it’s not a coincidence to have invited them to this competition.
In Medial Arch City City, these five masters represent the highest level of the Sky Gem Glass Chamber in Empyrean Fox Continent, and having several of them as judges was enough to convince all the major forces participating in the competition.
However, on the faces of these five esteemed judges, there was a trace of worry.
“Grandmaster Xiao, what’s going on? Didn’t you agree that Young Master Li will be there today? Where is he now?” Grandmaster Han couldn’t help asking.
Grandmaster Xiao’s face stiffened, “Young Master Li clearly came here this morning, and even greeted me! However, when the test was about to start, he suddenly said that he had had to relief himself and excused himself and I don’t know where he had run off to after that!”
“What? You don’t know where he went? How is it possible?” Grandmaster Yuan frowned and said, “Since he mentioned that he had to relief himself, he must have gone to the washroom?”
“Do you think this old man does not know such a thing? However, I have sent people to search every room in the mansion, not to mention each and every washroom, even my daughter’s boudoir was not let off! After such a thorough search, no one has seen the shadow of Young Master Li!”
“What do you think happened? Young Master Li will be fine, right?”
The five looked at each other in dismay, and instead of reducing their doubts, they became more uneasy.
After a while, Grandmaster Han said, “What should we do? We don’t know what happened to Young Master Li, how could he just leave midway? Besides, when those Spiritual Armament Masters were refining the Spirit Armament, it’s fine if he wasn’t there! Now the results of the competition are going to be announced, and yet he is still not present!”
Grandmaster Yuan also said: “Grandmaster Xiao, what do you think we should do now? We have been dragging on for nearly an hour, and there are still so many Spiritual Armament Masters and powerful figures from major forces waiting outside. We have to give them an explanation!”
Grandmaster Wang hesitated: “But, after all, this is Young Master Li’s business. If he is not here, yet we announce the results directly, doesn’t it seem very inappropriate?”
Grandmaster Yuan nodded and said, “That’s true, but, in the current situation… Grandmaster Xiao, you have the deepest friendship with Young Master Li, and the one who has the has the highest status in the Sky Gem Glass Chamber Glazed Glass Pavilion. You have to speak with reason!”
“This… it’s not that the old man deliberately shirking, but…”
This hot potato was shoved directly into Grandmaster Xiao’s hands, but he also felt that he couldn’t take it, and hesitantly wanted to refute.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Grandmaster Xiao frowned and said in displeasure, “Who is it?”
