Chapter 1011: Jiang Xuecheng’s Surprise
Hearing the Guard’s hurried report, Jiang Xuecheng’s expression froze.
His gaze focused on Su Wan’s face, and he immediately stuffed the fairy tale book back into Su Wan’s hands.
“Wan Wan, you stay here and play with Nono. I’ll go over first.”
…
The high priest actually made a move?!
Su Wan knew that during this period of time, Ming Ye had been fed well by the high priest. Even after the high priest had gotten her hand on Ming Ye, she had not personally met Ming Ye.
Su Wan was shocked when she heard that. Before she could recover from her shock, Jiang Xuecheng had already left with the guard in a hurry.
“Hey–”
She had not said that she wanted to go too!
Should he just leave her like this?
Su Wan cursed in her heart. She had just stood up and thought for a while before she finally sat back down on the rattan chair in silence.
Su Wan also understood that even if she went, she would not be of much help.
It was better to stay here and not cause any more trouble.
Hence, Su Wan took the fairy tale book and continued to tell Nono the story of the mermaid princess.
Before Jiang Xuecheng arrived, Su Wan had already told more than half of the story. Only the ending was left untold.
Nono patiently listened to Su Wan’s story. It opened its big round eyes and listened until the end. It still looked very confused.
“Master, I don’t think this story is good at all. This ending is too bad, isn’t it?”
Su Wan was stunned when she heard that. This was Su Wan’s favorite fairy tale. She did not expect to receive such a bad evaluation from Nono.
Su Wan stared at Nono in a daze and could not help but reach out to touch Nono’s round head.
“Aren’t you moved that the little mermaid has made so many sacrifices?”
Su Wan only realized what she had just said after she said that.
It seemed a little too profound for a robot to say that it was moved.
Because Nono often acted too humanly, she would sometimes unconsciously treat Nono as a human, like a younger brother, or like her own child.
Nono reached out to grab Su Wan’s arm with a serious expression.
“No, I don’t think it’s worth it for the mermaid princess to do this. The prince doesn’t know about the little mermaid’s sacrifice at all. If it were me, I would explain this matter clearly no matter what.”
Su Wan was stunned when she heard that.
“But the little mermaid can’t speak anymore.”
Nono gave Su Wan a look that said, “You’re so stupid.”
“Although the little mermaid can’t speak, she can learn human language. It’s not like she can’t write with her hands. Anyway, I choose to make it clear that I saved the prince. I want him to live with his beloved and like me too.”
Uh…
Su Wan was completely stunned.
When she read the story of the Little Mermaid in the past, why did she never notice the loopholes in the story?
Seeing that Su Wan was in a daze, Nono leaned next to her and could not help but reach out to shake her arm.
“Master, don’t you think that there’s nothing left after you die?”
The matter of life and death was ultimately uncertain.
Su Wan did not know why, but when she heard Nono’s opinion, her heart actually felt a little sour.
These past few days, she had been feeling uneasy, and she was getting more and more sleepy. This… was a sign of the deterioration of her body’s functions, right?
If one day she died, what would Jiang Xuecheng do?
Su Wan had never thought about this question before, and she did not dare to think too deeply about it.
Su Wan forced a smile and reached out to pinch Nono’s face.
“How do you know anything about life and death? Let me tell you another story then, the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”
The afternoon breeze was slightly tipsy. The sunlight brushed past the heavy shadows of the flowers, scattering the ground with broken patches of gold.
Su Wan sat on the rattan chair, and Nono leaned against her leg. Su Wan’s voice was still gentle as she read the fairy tale.
It seemed that the years were peaceful and the world was peaceful.
…
At the same time, on the other side, Jiang Xuecheng had already arrived at the dark room that was receiving Ming Ye’s video recording.
Ming Ye had already woken up. Compared to the miserable state he was in when he was sent to the high priest’s side, he looked much better.
However, on his hands and feet, he was wearing shackles made of silver tear ore, which were unbreakable.
This was to restrict Ming Ye’s movements and prevent him from escaping.
From the high priest’s point of view, Ming Ye’s movements were really mysterious. She had to be on guard.
Therefore, in addition to the matching handcuffs and shackles, the high priest also gave Ming Ye a drug that made him lose his strength.
The drug was mixed in the food. Although the dosage was not large, it was enough to weaken Ming Ye’s body over time.
She wanted to be sure!
At this moment, Ming Ye was obviously sitting on a vehicle. Because the image was shaking slightly, it did not look stable.
What Jiang Xuecheng did not expect was that through the transmission, a woman’s figure suddenly appeared in the cabin.
That person’s figure was slim and tall. The side of her face was as beautiful as a painting, but there was a scar on her cheek.
It ruined that kind of moving beauty.
Wait!
Wasn’t that the high priest?!
Jiang Xuecheng stared at the woman who was standing perfectly fine, and was suddenly shocked!
The high priest was actually in the carriage. No, that was not the main point. The main point was that the high priest’s hands and feet… looked good!
Although her hands were still a little weak, she could clearly move freely!
After taking a closer look, Jiang Xuecheng realized that the high priest was holding a thin black cane on her elbow, as if it was used to support her balance.
However, because the picture was not very clear just now, and the high priest was wearing a plain black outfit with a hood on the back, Jiang Xuecheng did not pay attention to the high priest’s cane at first glance.
From the current situation, although the high priest hadn’t fully recovered, she could at least get out of the wheelchair!
All sorts of bad guesses arose in Jiang Xuecheng’s heart.
His expression turned cold, and he immediately pointed at a guard closest to him.
“You, go ask if the high priest is still in the God’s Palace! I have something to find her for.”
The person who had been instructed by Jiang Xuecheng immediately lowered his head and he ran out like the wind.
…
In less than five minutes, the other party returned to report.
“Your Highness, they said that the high priest is taking an afternoon nap and is not feeling well. It is not convenient for her to see you. If you want to go, wait until tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuecheng’s expression changed again and again. In the end, his expression was as calm as water.
He had just seen the high priest dressed like that. It was obvious that she was trying to conceal her whereabouts.
Moreover… since she lied that she was taking a nap now, and that he could visit her tomorrow, this proved that the place that the high priest wanted to take Ming Ye to was within a day of travelling!
Would she be able to accomplish her task in just one day?
So fast?!
Or was the high priest going to meet with some important confidant?
Jiang Xuecheng was bewildered. He coldly scanned the image transmitted by the machine and immediately gave the order.
“Find an inconspicuous maglev car. We’ll immediately disguise ourselves and follow them!”
