Chang Er turned her head slowly when she perceived Darryl’s gaze. Her eyes were full of tears when she looked at him!
“Darryl?”
Chang Er frowned. Her beautiful face looked like she was ashamed and angry!
A few months ago, Darryl had released Zhu Bajie. At that time, the man had used the Transfiguration Powder and pretended to be Emperor Hou Yi. Chang Er would never forget how he played a trick on her.
“What’s the matter?” An icy voice echoed from Chang Er’s mouth. Her powerful aura was beyond anyone’s doubt.
“Lady Chang Er!”
Gonggong stepped forward and said respectfully, “I was patrolling just now and found Darryl, so I’ve arrested him! Darryl let Zhu Bajie go, so he is a criminal!”
Mmm…
Chang Er nodded silently. Then, she waved her jade-like hand. “Lock him up!”
If that had happened earlier, Chang Er would definitely find a way to teach Darryl a lesson. However, Emperor Hou Yi had only passed away; she did not have the heart to do anything because she was heartbroken.
“Yes, Lady Chang Er!” Gonggong replied. Then, she leaned in and whispered into Chang Er’s ear. “Lady Chang Er, why don’t you let me interrogate Darryl?”
Gonggong showed a faint sly smile when she made the suggestion. If Darryl was imprisoned, she would not have a chance to snatch the Heavenly Halberd. She would only get that chance if Darryl were in her hands!
Chang Er did not reply to her. Yang Jian walked toward the royal guard captain and asked, “You said that you found a clue to His Majesty’s death. What is it?”
Phew!
The royal guard captain took a deep breath and pointed at the jade platform under Emperor Hou Yi. “Grandmaster, the clue is on the jade platform under His Majesty’s body. When His Majesty was dying, he engraved a few words on the jade platform.”
Yang Jian frowned and asked impatiently, “What are the words?”
