Yang Jian looked at Chang Er and smiled, “Lady Chang Er, you cannot escape from your relation to Hou Yi’s death.
You better return with me to assist with the investigation–”
He was interrupted by Chang Er before he could finish speaking.
“Yang Jian, stop lying to me. Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. I have been with His Majesty Hou Yi
for over a thousand years; our relationship was strong. And you, you are only his subordinate. You took the
opportunity to assume the throne when His Majesty had just passed away. That was evil. Now you are eyeing me?
You think you deserve me?” Chang Er looked angry as she said coldly.
At that moment, the entire place went silent. Everyone’s eyes were on Chang Er.
‘She…she dared to call Yang Jian evil? Even if she is Lady Chang Er, Yang Jian is the current Emperor. How can she
scold him in front of everyone?’
In the North Moana Continent, the Emperor was supreme. Who dared to speak to the Emperor in such a manner?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that instant, Yang Jian’s face changed. What would happen to his reputation if Chang Er scolded him in such a
manner in front of all these soldiers?
At that moment, the atmosphere was tense. The soldiers dared not even take a deep breath.
As for Darryl, he was extremely excited and delighted in his heart.
‘Chang Er really is the Moon Palace Fairy. She has a strong and straightforward character. She dared to scold Yang
Jian in front of everyone after being cheated by me.’
Finally, at that moment, Yang Jian laughed and looked at Chang Er as he said, “Whether you agree with me or not,
you had a hand in Hou Yi’s death. You must come to the palace with me!”
When he said that, Yang Jian was only smiling reluctantly. Inside, he was boiling in anger.
Ever since he became the Emperor, no one dared to say no to him. Yang Jian had already decided that no matter
what, he must bring Chang Er back with him.
Enraged, Yang Jian checked out Chang Er as he grinned sinisterly.
Although Darryl lied earlier, he had accidentally mentioned the truth. Yang Jian was actually interested in Chang Er
for a long time. He just did not dare to show it when Hou Yi was alive.
Now that Hou Yi was dead and he became the emperor, he had no worries anymore. However, Chang Er was the
Moon Palace Fairy; if he tried hard to own her, everyone would despise him.
As such, Yang Jian used the excuse of investigating Hou Yi’s death to bring Chang Er back to the palace. As long as
Chang Er was back in the palace, Yang Jian would have the opportunity to own her.
It no longer mattered to Yang Jian how Hou Yi died. The most important thing was to own Chang Er as fast as
possible.
Yang Jian’s gaze made Chang Er uncomfortable, but she could not show her anger as her acupoint was still sealed.
She could not use her internal energy. She could only scold him, and that held no significance to him.
At that moment, Darryl walked over and ridiculed Yang Jian, “Yang Jian, how can you call yourself Grandmaster
Erlang. You have no shame, do you? Lady Chang Er already said she doesn’t want to return to the palace, but you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmstill insist. Just be honest that you are interested in Lady Chang Er; you don’t have to pretend that you wanted to
investigate the reason for Hou Yi’s death. I really cannot stand your pretentious act.”
As he said that, Darryl looked disgusted, and he was not worried at all. He did not need to be worried about Yang
Jian with Zhurong and Divine Farmer around.
Of course, Darryl only said this to toy with Yang Jian’s anger. However, he did not know that what he said had
pierced through Yang Jian’s mind.
At an instant, Yang Jian’s expression changed for the worse. He was the Emperor and also the well-respected
Grandmaster Erlang; how could such a young man criticize him.
The anger in Yang Jian’s heart was boiling at that moment. He still did not know that Darryl was only guessing and
had mentioned his feelings by accident. Darryl’s words were tarnishing his reputation that he maintained for the
past thousand years. How could he accept that?
Besides, Darryl still had the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda that Yang Jian was looking for.
Darryl needed to die.
“Generals, listen to me. Kill Darryl and take Lady Chang Er back to the palace,” Yang Jian roared coldly.
After he spoke, the North Moana soldiers rushed in like a strong tide with a murderous sound that could shock the
sky.
