Master Qu Lin and the other members of the chief judging panel were all seated in front of the display screen, watching the monitor intently.
They naturally also saw the footage of Jiangli and others entering the elevator.
However, the surveillance camera inside the elevator did not have recording capabilities, so no sound could be heard.
It was unclear what they were conversing about.
The representative of Sang Country, Dahe, was chatting cheerfully with President Qu Lin.
Pei Jiu, unfamiliar with the Sang Country language, could only barely discern its general meaning, seemingly praising Jiangli and others.
President Qu Lin maintained a calm demeanor, occasionally agreeing, but seemed not in the best of moods.
Seeing this scene, Pei Jiu furrowed his brow, walked behind President Qu Lin, and knocked on the back of his chair, saying, "President, could we talk somewhere else? I have something I want to discuss with you."
