Darryl sighed and looked at Chang Er. He could not smile or cry when he said, “Lady Chang Er, you misunderstood
me. I will always keep my word. Before I left the royal city earlier, I bumped into Yang Jian. Yang Jian hated me to
his bones, and he said he would kill me if he ever saw me again.”
For the next few minutes, Darryl shared what had happened earlier in detail to Chang Er.
After hearing Darryl’s explanation, Chang Er’s body trembled. She was so surprised.
‘Yang Jian raped his own Senior Brother’s wife?’
Zhurong and Divine Farmer were also looking at each other, speechless.
Everyone respected Yang Jian as Grandmaster Erlang was a reputable person in the world. They never expected
that he would be such a cruel person.
At that moment, Chang Er regained her thoughts and stared fiercely at Darryl as she scolded, “Darryl, don’t you try
to fool me. Who is Yang Jian’s Senior Brother? I think you’re only afraid to die when you return to the palace with
me, and so you made up a story to lie to me. Isn’t that right?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt‘Yang Jian has been a follower of Hou Yi for many years. How could I not know that he has a Senior Brother? Darryl
must have made it up,’ she thought.
Darryl wanted to cry when he heard that. He felt frustrated as he said, “Lady Chang Er! What I said was true.
Otherwise, how could I have escaped safely with my abilities when I met Yang Jian?”
Chang Er locked her brows tightly and started to think again.
‘What he said does make sense. Based on his ability, if he met Yang Jian, there was no way he could return safe and
unharmed.’
Noticing Chang Er was doubting him, Darryl’s mind was turning as he tried to figure something out. He smiled and
said, “Oh, Lady Chang Er. Yang Jian did ask me at that time to reveal your location. He said he admired you for a
long time, but he was afraid of Hou Yi. Now that Hou Yi is dead, he doesn’t have anything to worry about and wants
you to be his woman. He wants to take care of you for the rest of your life.”
Darryl was trying hard to hold back his laughter and intentionally came closer to Chang Er as he spoke. “Lady
Chang Er, if you are willing, I will sacrifice my life to send you back to the palace. As I am directly related to Hou Yi’s
death, I will die with no regrets as long as I can help you find a good husband.”
That was right. Darryl made it all up.
Chang Er was focused on proving her innocence and restoring her reputation. However, as Darryl had upset Yang
Jian, going back with Chang Er would be a suicide mission.
Darryl intentionally made up the excuse that Yang Jian was in love with Chang Er, so she would feel conflicted.
Chang Er viewed dignity and reputation as more important than her life. Once she knew Yang Jian was in love with
her if she insisted on returning to the royal palace, wouldn’t that mean she accepted Yang Jian’s pursuit?
At that instant, Chang Er blushed. She stomped her feet as she looked at Darryl. “Shut up! Since when did I agree?”
As she said that, Chang Er’s body was shaking, and she was furious.
‘How dare this Yang Jian try to take advantage of me.’
“Alright, alright, I’ll stop.” Darryl smiled and waved his hand. He replied seriously, “So, are we still returning to the
royal palace? As far as I know, Yang Jian has sent many of his people to trace your location. He is waiting at the
palace right now for any news. He must be delighted if you were to return.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“This…” Chang Er bit her lips tightly and hesitated at that moment.
‘That’s right. How can I return under such circumstances? If I return, that means I am letting Yang Jian get what he
wants?!’
Darryl looked calm, but inside he was excited when he saw Chang Er was doubting herself and looked conflicted
about what decision to make.
‘I’m a genius. I just made up an excuse, and now Chang Er is worried,’ he thought.
Just at that moment, Chang Er suddenly recalled something and said coldly, “Darryl! We will not return to the
palace. Let’s head outside of the city while you wait for me to gather the ministers. You just need to tell them the
truth.”
Chang Er had thought it over, and that was the only way to do it.
They would not bump into Yang Jian if they met the ministers outside the royal city, so Darryl could still restore her
dignity. It was a win-win situation.
Darryl scratched his head when he heard that; he was puzzled.
Chang Er was no ordinary woman. She could come up with such unique ideas.
