"Hmm?"
Zhao Gongming was startled and turned to Yao Shaosi with a puzzled look.
He frowned and said, "Make yourself clear. What exactly happened?"
Yao Shaosi was also stunned. You're supposed to be omniscient and infallible, so why are you asking me!?
He was taken aback, then said, "Heavenly Lord, as you anticipated, Red Boy, the Six-Eared Macaque, and the others are indeed in league. They had plotted to escape, and today, they have vanished."
Zhao Gongming grabbed Yao Shaosi's collar. "Clarify your words! What do you mean they've vanished?"
His eyes blazed with murderous intent.
Yao Shaosi was terrified.
He hurriedly said, "Vanished means vanished—they're nowhere to be found! We've turned the Heavenly Prison upside down and still no sign of them!"
Zhao Gongming, unable to contain his anger, quickly turned and said, "Your Majesty, I must take my leave."
Without waiting for the Jade Emperor's consent, he turned and departed.
