Lu Sangjiu's words left Ye Zhiyao speechless, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
'After all, if I claim Lu Sangjiu is faking it, what if she turns around and accuses me of faking it, claiming I was actually trying to attack her on purpose?'
Lu Sangjiu knew her greatest advantage was that no one knew she could wield a Demon Artifact. 'Because of that, they'll subconsciously assume that between the two, I'd naturally prioritize the Muxian Sword.'
So, she could leverage this to make them believe she had only obtained the domination map by accident.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Elder Lin's expression softened considerably. He was now mostly convinced by her story.
However… the truly difficult part of this matter wasn't just that.
"Your explanation is plausible. I will send people into the Sword Tomb to investigate later. If there are no discrepancies, we can let this matter drop."
