Darryl only intended to scare Grunt; he never thought of punishing him. After all, Darryl was only an imposter who pretended to be the Nine Heaven Emperor. How could he possibly punish Grunt?
Darryl had decided just to scare Grunt and then send him away. After that, he would take the opportunity to leave.
Grunt was stunned. He stared at Darryl blankly for quite some time.
'What's going on? His Majesty has forgiven us?'
'Am I dreaming?'
'I was planning to commit a heinous crime. Even if His Majesty doesn't care about the precious fruits, he would not have let me off for complaining about the Empress. His Majesty cherishes the Empress.'
'I thought that His Majesty would be furious because I showed dissatisfaction toward the Empress. However, he was not angry, and he even justified my ill-intention.'
The more Grunt thought about it, the more befuddled he was.
At the same time, Grunt also sensed that the Emperor in front of him seemed to be a little different from before—he was a little strange.
The dubious Grunt suddenly made a bold assumption in his head.
'Is he an imposter?'
A thought flashed in his mind, and Grunt was shocked. His assumption could be true. Just an hour ago, Grunt had personally escorted the Nine Heaven Emperor away from Jade Fairyland.
'Therefore, it only made sense that the Nine Heaven Emperor was no longer in the Jade Fairyland. Yet, His Majesty appeared at the entrance and hid behind a tree. It is hard not to overthink this.'
D*mn it!
Darryl's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling when he noticed Grunt staring at him with his eyes flickering.
'Don't tell me that Grunt could see through my disguise!'
'Probably not. The Transfiguration Powder works like a wonder. Even Princess Dorothy had not seen through me earlier. How could Grunt possibly notice my disguise?'
