Chapter 792 - What Did You Do To Su Wan?!
Chapter 792: What Did You Do To Su Wan?!
These days, Jiang Xuecheng’s mind was filled with fragmented scenes.
Sometimes there were scenes of Su Wan, and sometimes there were many people he didn’t remember at all, but he knew them.
They either smiled or bowed respectfully to Jiang Xuecheng, but no matter what those people said, Jiang Xuecheng didn’t understand a single word.
No, perhaps he could not not understand a single word.
Because Su Wan named him that “Xuecheng.” It seemed that he could hear people calling him that from time to time.
All of this was like an endless mystery, trapping Jiang Xuecheng inside. Sometimes, he would look at Su Wan and wonder if he had known Su Wan a long time ago.
However, Su Wan did not take the initiative to mention this matter again. For the time being, he could not figure out if he was just thinking about it every day and dreaming about it every night, or if he had really been stripped of those memories.
In fact, in his heart, he was slightly afraid of the final answer.
At least, the current state of interaction with Su Wan was what he liked. He did not want to break the delicate balance.
No matter what the truth was, Jiang Xuecheng had already determined one thing. He liked Su Wan, and the incident with venomous scorpion showed that Su Wan was willing to do everything she could to like him.
That was enough.
He wanted to protect her and did not want Su Wan to be hurt even a little bit, whether the harm came from others or himself.
After thinking this through, a faint light flashed across Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes. He looked at the high priest sternly, his gaze as sharp as a knife.
“High Priest, it’s impossible for me to marry Diya. You don’t have to be her lobbyist.”
The high priest looked at the young man’s unruly and unruly features. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and a stern expression appeared on her well-maintained face.
“Do you think I’m being a lobbyist for Diya? I’m doing this for your own good. Do you know how hard it is to obtain your position as the Emperor of the God’s Palace? You need a woman who can help you secure your position…”
Upon hearing the high priest’s words of guidance, Jiang Xuecheng’s face sank.
His expression was stifled, and even his fingers slowly tightened.
“If that’s the case, it’s even more impossible for me to want her to be my wife!”
His marriage could not be a transaction, and his ability did not need to be questioned by others!
If he could no longer sit as the emperor of the God’s Palace, then what harm was there in giving up!
He was not a person who coveted power!
Moreover, Jiang Xuecheng knew very well why the high priest was so eager to ask him to marry Diya.
Rather than saying that this marriage was for his own good, it would be better to say that the high priest was doing it for her own good!
If the high priest was really doing it personally for the sake of seeking immortality, then she needed a puppet to stand guard in the Celestial Emperor’s headquarters for her!
Her resigning from office was fake, but it was true that she had a plot!
And the High Priest knew that Jiang Xuecheng’s power was weak, but was unwilling to give up his authority. This way, it was no wonder that the various great families below were restless!
Therefore, the first thought that came to the high priest’s mind was that since the eldest daughter of the Siswell family liked Jiang Xuecheng, she might as well go with the flow and do a favor for them.
As the head of the four great families, the Siswell family had both prestige and influence. Under the alliance of the strong and powerful, they would be able to save a lot of worry and would not need to expend any effort!
The High Priest looked at the young man who was going against her and suddenly thought of someone — Jiang Xuecheng’s mother, Xu Ziyao.
Jiang Xuecheng’s mother seemed gentle and easy to talk to, but in fact, she was rebellious. She would never make do with a marriage. In this regard, Jiang Xuecheng was very similar to his mother.
But so what?
The high priest thought of the face that was similar to hers, but a little older. The corner of her mouth could not help but curl into a disdainful sneer.
She disliked this kind of person the most. In the past, Jiang Xuecheng’s mother had caused a lot of trouble. Now, it was Xu Ziyao’s son who made the same mistake.
“Do you think you can marry whoever you want just because you want to? This is not something you can choose!”
The high priest saw Jiang Xuecheng clench his fist, and the mocking smile on her lips became deeper.
She raised her head and looked at Jiang Xuecheng. She was obviously shorter than this young man, but her aura was not inferior to his.
“Don’t you like that little girl surnamed Su? Do you want to know why I allowed her to stay by your side even though I wanted you to marry Diya?”
When Jiang Xuecheng heard that, blue veins popped out on his fingers, but his breathing suddenly stopped!
He knew that he could not lose control of himself. However, when he saw the high priest’s sympathetic and aloof gaze, an incomparably terrifying guess emerged in his heart.
The curiosity made Jiang Xuecheng somewhat fearful.
Su Wan was his reverse scale, and also his only weakness.
Jiang Xuecheng had long thought that the high priest would pick on Su Wan. Hence, when he brought Su Wan back to the God’s Palace, he secretly arranged for people to protect her.
Firstly, he was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would use Su Wan and cause something to happen. Secondly, he was afraid that Su Wan would escape on her own.
During the days when Su Wan left, Jiang Xuecheng had already understood clearly that he could not lose Su Wan.
Even if he had to tie her up, he had to tie her up by his side.
However, after spending time with Su Wan these days, Jiang Xuecheng realized that the two of them could actually get along very well. There was no need for them to use any extreme measures to embarrass each other.
Trust was the highest criterion for getting along.
Jiang Xuecheng gnashed his teeth as he looked at the high priest. His voice was filled with hidden anger as it landed in the silent study. Every word was loud and clear!
“What did you do to Su Wan?!”
Jiang Xuecheng was anxious, but another voice kept comforting him in his mind.
The high priest had just returned, and he had deliberately sent more people. Even if the high priest wanted to do something to Su Wan, she could not do it in time.
Therefore, Jiang Xuecheng was still hoping that the high priest was just looking for a gimmick to fool him.
“You’re asking me what I did to her?”
The high priest looked up at Jiang Xuecheng. The smile on her face was still noble and elegant, with an unwitting cruelty.
“It’s very simple. When the DNA test results came out, I remember that you performed very well. You should still remember that day, right?”
The High Priest’s words were like knives, and Jiang Xuecheng’s face turned pale.
“At that time, I was thinking that since a man cared so much about a woman, when he knew that she had cheated on him, he would rather pretend that nothing had happened. He wanted to abort the child, but he still wanted to protect this relationship. What kind of mentality was that?”
“So, I asked the doctor to give Su Wan an injection.”
The high priest’s voice was as clear as mountains and flowing water as she spoke. Her tone was flat as if she was saying something very normal.
The high priest smiled even more happily when she saw the pained expression on Jiang Xuecheng’s face.
“That’s the latest CHK virus I’ve developed. I’ve never tested it on a living person before…”
