“Lady Chang Er!”
After he took his seat, Lu Dongbin smiled at Chang Er and asked, “Why didn’t you stay in the palace and enjoy your wealth, but you came to the Holy Saint Sect instead?”
Lu Dongbin had cultivated in seclusion all year round, and he rarely asked about worldly affairs. Therefore, he still had no idea that Emperor Hou Yi had died and Yang Jian had become the new Emperor. The situation in North Moana Palace had changed.
Ugh!
Chang Er sighed and explained her situation slowly. “His Majesty is dead, and Yang Jian has seized the throne. He has ordered for my arrest all over the place…” Chang Er explained the details in a few minutes.
Of course, Chang Er did not tell him that Yang Jian was fond of her and wanted to have her. After all, she thought that was too shameful.
Whoa!
In an instant, the entire hall was in an uproar. Everyone stared blankly at Darryl; they were speechless.
“Oh, did Darryl kill Emperor Hou Yi?”
“That’s unbelievable! Yang Jian is just too hateful. He even took the opportunity to usurp the throne…”
“I did not expect so many things to happen in only one month.”
Everyone talked and passed comments. Lu Dongbin could not conceal his shock; he stared speechlessly at Darryl.
One should not trifle with that man who had accidentally killed Emperor Hou Yi.
However, Lu Dongbin was an expert in Daoism, and he was a broad-minded man. He believed that everything that happened was destined and meant to be. Therefore, he was relieved.
Lu Dongbin breathed a long sigh before he looked at Chang Er to try to comfort her. “The dead can’t return to life. I hope you’ll heal from this grief soon.”
Then, Lu Dongbin asked earnestly, “What’s your plan now?”
“No one knows about the truth yet. Yang Jian was convinced that Zhu Bajie and I had an affair and that we conspired to kill my husband.” Chang Er bit her lips; her delicate face looked furious. “He sent all the royal guards to come after me. Yang Jian has wild ambitions; North Moana would be in trouble if he were to secure his position as the new Emperor. I must prove my innocence and regain the throne.”
Chang Er clenched her fist tightly as she looked at Lu Dongbin expectantly. “Saint Master, you must help me!”
