Darryl pondered that as he stopped smiling. He looked at the Empress and said, "Your Majesty, you are wrong. Yang Jian may be a gentleman on the surface, but he is a cunning and despicable villain. If you hand this royal jade seal to him, he will only agree to your conditions verbally, but he will never honor his words after he gains control over the South Cloud World."

As soon as Emperor Hou Yi died, Yang Jian had usurped the throne almost immediately and proclaimed himself the next Emperor. He claimed to have found out the truth about Hou Yi's death, but what had happened in the end? He merely wanted to capture Chang Er and forced her to be his woman. Then, he began to send his troops to conquer other continents.

He was not someone who would honor his words, so he was a villain, was he not?

Err…

When she saw Darryl's serious expression, the Empress knew that he was not joking. She bit her lips and pondered her next move.

'That's true. What if Yang Jian turned back on his words?
