Uh…
Darryl scratched his head. He looked at Gonggong, smiled, and said, “Gonggong, Your Excellency, why are you so anxious? Even if I had signed the letter, I could only hand it to His Majesty tomorrow morning. Furthermore, I have not seen my woman for such a long time. Could you give me some time to talk to her?”
Then, Darryl turned his head to look at Yvette. He winked at her, smiled, and said, “Yvette, you’ve been locked up for so many days; did you miss me?”
Swoosh!
Yvette’s exquisite face flushed red when Darryl asked that question in front of everyone. However, she was brilliant; she understood Darryl’s hint immediately. She bit her lips and pretended to be shy and embarrassed. She said softly, “Yes, I have been thinking of you every day!”
Even though she did not know what Darryl was up to, Yvette trusted him. Naturally, she would play along with him.
Darryl nodded. Then, he smiled and looked at Gonggong. “Your Excellency, you are kind and benevolent, I’m sure you wouldn’t let us lovers see each other without having a chance to talk, right?”
Uh…
Gonggong frowned. She hesitated for a while, then she nodded and said, “Very well, I will give you an hour. By then, you have to leave.”
Then, Gonggong turned and instructed the guards. “Give them some space; try not to disturb them.”
“Yes!” the soldiers replied in unison.
Gonggong did not say anything more. She looked at Darryl, turned, and left the prison.
For a split moment, Gonggong suspected that something was up with Darryl. However, Darryl was alone, and the camp was heavily guarded. No matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for him to rescue so many people at once.
“My fellow comrades!”
When Gonggong left, Darryl did not head toward Yvette’s cell immediately. He chuckled before he said to the leader of the guards, “I’m sure you have all worked hard. Would you want to head outside for a breather?”
Darryl smiled as he said that. His tone was sincere, but his eyes sparkled with cunningness.
His primary purpose was not to get them to go out. He only wanted a topic to get their attention.
Woo!
Yvette and the cultivators did not interrupt; they watched the scene silently.
