Chapter 683: The Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d Was Simply Disobedient
The emperor suddenly closed his palm. Because there was a platinum ring in his palm, it was very uncomfortable.
He slowly stood up and walked to the window, overlooking the scenery below.
From the window of the study, there was a winding river below. After walking along the river for a short distance, there was a waterfall. The waterfall had several layers of water, and it fell straight from the sky with majestic momentum.
If he threw the ring down from the sky, it would go directly through the river and all the way down to the waterfall…
Jiang Xuecheng imagined that scene, and the corners of his lips curved into a cold smile.
He slowly loosened his clenched fingers, and an exquisite platinum ring appeared in his palm.
He raised his hand, and just as he was about to throw the ring out of the window, the two words that he had just seen suddenly flashed in his mind.
Under the magnifying gla.s.s, the Chinese word “Xuecheng” was exceptionally clear under the circle of love.
Although Xuecheng did not understand the meaning of the two words, at this moment, he felt a sense of déjà vu.
No, it was not just two words. In fact, it included Su Wan’s ring. Now that he thought about it, it made sense.
Xuecheng’s face darkened, and he withdrew his hand from the window.
This was ridiculous. How could he find this ring familiar?
Jiang Xuecheng’s face darkened. He could not help but rub his left ring finger.
Sometimes, he felt that he used to wear a ring too, and it was on his left ring finger.
Even…
In a split second, the shape of a male ring flashed across Jiang Xuecheng’s mind.
The style of the man’s ring was basically the same as the one Su Wan was wearing at the moment, except that the ring holder was simpler and more imposing. If it was not for the comparison with Su Wan’s ring, it would be almost impossible to tell that the ring holder of the man’s ring was also in the shape of a flower.
That thread of inspiration came too quickly and almost made Jiang Xuecheng unable to grasp it.
He immediately walked back to the desk, put the ring in his palm aside, and picked up the electromagnetic pen instead.
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips. After thinking for a while, he wanted to draw the man’s platinum ring.
However, after only two or three seconds, the extremely clear man’s ring in his mind was like the moon in a mirror. It was blurry and could no longer be seen clearly.
When his pen landed on the white paper, he could only draw a circle in vain. However, he could not figure out the exact pattern of the ring.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
This knock on the door instantly destroyed the last bit of inspiration in Jiang Xuecheng.
As his inspiration was disrupted, Jiang Xuecheng became a little angry. However, when he saw the figure on the holographic screen, he still opened the door of the study.
In fact, even if he did not open the door, the other party could still enter directly.
Because the person who came was the high priest.
The high priest was wearing a white, embroidered, retro-styled skirt. Her black hair was like the clouds, tightly tied up with a white jade hairpin. Her entire body gave off a cold and arrogant temperament. Anyone who looked at her would feel intimidated, not daring to look her in the eye.
Jiang Xuecheng stood up and nodded at the high priest not far away.
No matter when he saw this woman, she always took care of him meticulously.
It was said that the age of a woman was a big secret. Everyone in the G.o.d’s Palace knew that although the high priest was beautiful and had no children or husbands, her actual age was definitely not young.
However, no one had ever dared to mention this in front of her.
Age was a true taboo for the high priest.
Seeing the high priest slowly walking towards him, Jiang Xuecheng had no choice but to lower their heads to greet her, no matter how much he disliked this woman.
“High Priest, good afternoon.”
“Good afternoon.”
The High Priest, who had an arrogant expression on her face, raised her eyebrows. Then, she casually glanced at the things on the table. The first thing she saw was the female ring.
The hand under the high priest’s sleeve trembled. A stream of light flashed through her dark eyes — she had already accurately recognized that this was Su Wan’s ring.
Moreover, when Jiang Xuecheng had just arrived at the G.o.d’s Palace, she had once removed his male ring.
That male ring had a very similar design to this female ring, and it was obvious that they were a pair. However, that male ring had long since been smelted into sc.r.a.p metal by her.
It was not easy for her to completely implant a new memory into Jiang Xuecheng. Anything that might cause Jiang Xuecheng to recall the past, she had to destroy.
The sudden appearance of Su Wan was an accident. Not only Su Wan, but all the things on her had to leave the eyes of Jiang Xuecheng as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble would be introduced to her plans!
However, even if Jiang Xuecheng remembered, she would not be too afraid.
After all, she had a new trump card in her hands. She did not mind abolis.h.i.+ng the current one and replacing it with a new puppet…
The high priest thought to herself. She nodded slightly at Jiang Xuecheng, her expression still cold and arrogant.
“I’m here to bid farewell to Your Highness.”
The steady and decisive voice of a woman brushed past his ears, causing Jiang Xuecheng to be stunned!
“So soon, you’re leaving again?”
Being asked about the specific reason, the high priest was a little displeased.
–Did she really want to leave at such a critical moment?
She was supposed to monitor the survival rate of Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng’s child , but suddenly there was news of that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, so she had to go personally.
A pair of emerald eyes appeared in the High Priest’s mind, very similar to the purebred Persian cat that she had raised.
However, although that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d was raised by her, he was far from being as obedient as that Persian cat.
She had sent so many people, but they still couldn’t find any news of that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Now, they could only let her personally take action.
Seeing that the high priest had remained silent, Jiang Xuecheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the middle-aged woman in front of the table
“What is it that you need? Do you need help?”
She had to run out every few days. This time, she had come back with great difficulty, but she was actually going to leave so soon…
Since the high priest had left her position as the emperor, she was just a n.o.ble t.i.tle in the G.o.d’s Palace. Even Jiang Xuecheng couldn’t think of anything worth the high priest’s effort!
Sensing the inquisitive gaze of Jiang Xuecheng, the high priest pursed here lips and nodded coldly.
“Your Highness, you don’t have to worry about that. I’m just informing Your Highness. I hope that Your Highness can put more effort into managing the G.o.d’s Palace and not waste it on some unimportant people!”
The high priest’s expression was arrogant, and her tone was even worse. After saying this, she turned around and left…
Those words about an unimportant person were obviously referring to Su Wan.
Jiang Xuecheng clenched his hands tightly. He hated it the most when others gave him the cold shoulder. He immediately had the urge to throw the paper at the High Priest’s back.
On the surface, he was the most n.o.ble emperor of the G.o.d’s Palace, but who didn’t know that the true master of the G.o.d’s Palace was the high priest?
For the time being, he could only… endure.
