Chapter 1734

Yang Jian wasted no time; he beckoned at Darryl. “Hurry up; your friend can’t hold on much longer.”

“Thank you, Grandmaster Erlang!”

Darryl was overjoyed. He held his fists together to pay obeisance to Yang Jian before he rushed toward Celine and

Queenie.

He immediately sat cross-legged in front of Celine and smiled. He said, “Let’s start!”

Darryl sounded relaxed, but his face was pale, and he was weak.

He was injured after he tried his best to resist the two attacks from Yang Jian. However, it did not affect his intention

to save Celine. He needed the White Lily Cold Flame to get rid of the Heavenly Flame Core in her; there was no

need for him to use his internal energy.

Mmm!

Celine nodded. Then, she bit her lips before she said softly, “Are you okay?”

Even though Darryl looked relaxed, Celine knew that Darryl must have sustained quite serious injuries. His

thoughtfulness moved her.

Soon, Darryl began to get rid of the Heavenly Flame Core. His right hand was gently placed over Celine’s energy

field.

Mmm!

Celine trembled slightly when she felt the warmth from the man’s hand. She was not as reluctant as before, and

she even felt a touch of sweetness.

Queenie, who was next to her, also cracked a smile.

Gonggong observed from a distance with an impatient look. She could not vent her anger because Yang Jian was

there.

Time passed by slowly.

Yang Jian was the Grandmaster Erlang, and he was one to keep his promise. He stayed by the side quietly while

Darryl helped Celine to get rid of the Heavenly Flame Core in her. He stood tall and proud like a guardian.

Sometime later, Darryl finally managed to expel the Heavenly Flame Core in Celine’s body.

Celine’s exquisite face was restored to a rosy shade without the burning heat that tormented her. She looked

inexplicably charming.

Phew!

Darryl breathed a sigh of relief. He finally felt genuinely relaxed.

The issue was finally solved.

After that, Darryl stood up and paid obeisance to Yang Jian again. He said gratefully, “Thank you, Your Excellency

Grandmaster Erlang!”

Darryl expressed his heartfelt gratitude. Grandmaster Erlang was rumored to be upright and arrogant, and it was

true, indeed.

Even though Yang Jian and Gonggong were on the same side, it did not affect Darryl’s gratitude toward him.

Mmm!

Yang Jian nodded; his handsome face remained straightforward. As the famous Grandmaster Erlang, Yang Jian was

used to a poker face.

“What nonsense is this?”

Gonggong muttered as she walked toward Darryl impatiently. “You’ve saved your friend. Now, come with me!”

Gonggong had wanted to kill Darryl and vent her anger, but she changed her mind after she saw the Heavenly

Halberd.

However, Gonggong was embarrassed to snatch the Heavenly Halberd from Darryl then. Hence, she wanted to

take Darryl back and then retrieve the Heavenly Halberd when she had the opportunity to do so.

“Gonggong!”

Darryl smiled bitterly at Gonggong. “We don’t have much enmity with each other. You don’t have to be so hard on

me, do you?”

Darryl felt helpless when he said that.

‘How are the two of them so different even though they served the same master, Emperor Hou Yi? Yang Jian is

righteous, but Gonggong is so narrow-minded.’

“Stop the nonsense at once!” Gonggong was too lazy to dwell on it any further. “Hurry up and come with me!”

She stretched out her jade-like hand to grab Darryl.

“Grandmaster Erlang, Gonggong!” Suddenly, a royal guard from the North Moana shouted from a distance. He was

panting; he was excited, yet he felt slightly complicated.

When he arrived, the guard held his fists together and paid obeisance to Yang Jian. He roared, “I found a clue to

Emperor Hou Yi’s sudden death!”

Whoa!

Yang Jian and Gonggong exchanged looks. They were both extremely excited.

They were perplexed at Emperor Hou Yi’s sudden death. Finally, there was a clue?

Darryl felt a sharp pain in his chest. ‘Oh, no! How did they manage to find a clue? I’m pretty sure that I left no clue

behind when I made Emperor Hou Yi go into a psychotic break!’
