'Friend?'
The Nine Heaven Emperor and Empress Heidi were stunned.
At the same time, Ferguson was shocked. His dubious and complicated gaze was on Darryl.
'What is that guy doing?'
"Ferguson!"
Finally, the Nine Heaven Emperor reacted. He looked at Ferguson and asked, "Is that true?"
Ferguson scratched his head and pondered. Then, he nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty."
Ferguson wanted to deny it, but he would not be able to hide the truth about the teleportation gateway had he denied what Darryl said. He reckoned he would be punished if the Nine Heaven Emperor found out about the truth.
The Nine Heaven Emperor nodded silently at Ferguson's confession. Then, he looked at Darryl with interest. "What a surprise that a servant in the Spirited Fruit Garden turned out to be Ferguson's friend."
The Nine Heaven Emperor seemed surprised.
There were seven supervisors in the entire Godly Region, and among those seven supervisors, Ferguson had always been the best. However, Ferguson's status was not exceptionally high as a supervisor, and he was a lone ranger. He had very few friends.
Therefore, the Nine Heaven Emperor was very curious when Darryl, a servant in the Spirited Fruit Garden, claimed to be a friend of Ferguson's.
Darryl hurriedly spoke when he felt the Nine Heaven Emperor's gaze on him. "It is my honor to be regarded as Ferguson's friend."
'What?'
Ferguson had also recovered from his shock; he frowned and looked at Darryl.
The first time they met, Darryl was trying to activate the teleportation gateway. Ferguson was sure that Darryl did not have the nascent soul at that time; he was obviously human. The second time they met, Darryl had a nascent soul, and he also became the servant that took care of the Spirited Fruit Garden.
Ferguson figured there must be hidden secrets.
Darryl took a deep breath when he sensed Ferguson's hostility toward him. He said with a smile, "Your Excellency Ferguson, we are friends. Why are you interrogating me like I'm a prisoner?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Ferguson yelled, and he spoke slowly to make himself clear. "You can lie to His Majesty and Her Majesty, but you can't lie to me. You are not a servant in the Spirited Fruit Garden, and it seems strange that you have a nascent soul. If I guess it right, you gained the nascent soul after eating the precious fruits, right?"
"How bold of you! You're a human who entered the Godly Region without permission, and you even ate the precious fruits. Your sins shall not be pardoned!" Ferguson spoke in a righteous tone.
Ferguson became more and more annoyed as he thought about the entire string of events. He wanted to kill Darryl immediately. However, he held himself back forcibly when he was reminded that they were at the Jade Fairyland, the place where Empress Heidi resided.
