“Yes, the Empress said it herself, so it can't be wrong..."
The heated comments kept coming from the crowd, leaving both Quincy and Parker feeling awkward.
‘How could this happen? Darryl wouldn't do such a thing,’ they thought.
Zoey whispered to Darryl, anxiously, "Darryl, go up and explain yourself."
How could Darryl stay so calm after Zhang Jue slandered him?
Darryl took a deep breath and whispered, "I can't show up now."
"Why?" Zoey's beautiful face was puzzled.
Darryl thought about it and slowly said, "Last night, I failed in my sneak attack on Zhang Jue and I’ve exposed my whereabouts. Although he couldn't find me last night, the cunning Zhang Jue is deliberately talking bad about me in front of everyone just to make me show up."
"If I don't show up, he’ll be a little cautious about his actions. Once I show up, he would have no qualms doing anything."
Darry appeared calm, but he was holding back his anger. He wanted so badly to run forward and expose Zhang Jue’s lies. However, he gave up on that thought when Chang Er framed him too. He knew that he had to figure out how Zhang Jue was controlling Chang Er. Otherwise, it would be useless to try to explain himself.
Zoey nodded silently.
Then, Zhang Jue looked at Quincy with a strange smile. "Princess, what do you have to say now? It’s true that Darryl had committed treason. Your effort to defend someone like him is futile, so I advise you to quickly figure out what is good for you."
Quincy was expressionless as she coldly replied, "Alright. I’ll tell you my decision. You do as you please to be the leader of The Nine Continents. However, the South Cloud World will not recognize you as our leader."
Then, she glanced at Chang Er. "I think the Empress must have been really confused to recommend someone like you to be the leader of The Nine Continents."
