Chapter 729: Parting Ways
The high priest again?
Why does it feel like this woman was always involved in everything!
Su Wan rubbed her furrowed brows. She felt her head hurt even more!
In fact, she did not need Ming Ye to tell her that she could guess that she and Jiang Xuecheng suddenly coming here was probably the high priest’s doing.
And the only person the high priest really wanted to take away was Jiang Xuecheng. She was just a meteor that had gone astray.
However, since there was a way to travel forward through time and s.p.a.ce, there was still a chance for her and Jiang Xuecheng to travel back through time and s.p.a.ce.
When Su Wan thought of this, a bitter smile appeared on her face. However, it was easier said than done to take down the high priest!
Ming Ye seemed to know a lot about the matters of the G.o.d’s Palace. Even the high priest had long been researching about time and s.p.a.ce travel. What exactly was his ident.i.ty.
Su Wan carefully looked at Ming Ye, opened her mouth and asked softly.
“Ming Ye… can I ask what your relations.h.i.+p is with the High Priest?”
Su Wan did not think that she was a gossipy person. However, this matter concerned whether she and Jiang Xuecheng could go back. Thus, Su Wan selfishly asked Ming Ye a few more questions.
However, Ming Ye’s final answers were very evasive and did not have much use.
Su Wan’s soft voice brushed past his ears. Ming Ye clenched his hands so tightly that blue veins started to appear on the back of his hands.
Seeing Ming Ye’s terrifying transformation, Su Wan immediately understood that she had probably asked something that she should not have asked. Her face turned slightly pale, and she felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.
Ming Ye in this state was like a wild beast that was about to go crazy. However, he strangely restrained his emotions. He was gloomy and unpredictable, so no one could guess when he would explode.
Ming Ye could not help but cower when he saw Su Wan. He lowered his eyes and clenched his fists even tighter.
The bright fire illuminated Ming Ye’s eyes. In the dark night, he looked like a beast that was eyeing its prey with a demonic light.
“You mean the high priest? Ha, that woman… if there’s anyone I want to kill in my life, it’s her.”
No wonder Ming Ye said that he had an irreconcilable feud with the G.o.d’s Palace?
It turned out that the crux of the problem was with the high priest…
Su Wan seemed to be enlightened as she nodded her head in realization.
She saw that Ming Ye did not want to say anything more, so she felt embarra.s.sed to ask him a few more questions.
After all, it was still shameful to expose someone’s scars.
Seeing that the night was getting darker and darker, and that they were by the river and surrounded by trees, Su Wan only felt a chill from the bottom of her feet.
She waved at Ming Ye and tried to ask him a question.
“Why don’t we go and rest first? We have to get up early tomorrow morning and go our separate ways.”
Su Wan did not know where Ming Ye was going. This man did not have a fixed residence. Since he claimed to have no parents and bore a deep grudge, he probably did not have a home.
As for her…
Su Wan bit the corner of her lips. She had already made up her mind to return to Earth.
She wanted to see what that once bustling place had become.
Also, since it was said that the fallen leaves return to their roots, Su Wan wanted to build a cenotaph for her premature child and buy some children’s clothes to bury the baby.
Su Wan wanted to use this method to pray that she and the unborn child of Jiang Xuecheng would be reincarnated into a good family.
It would have parents who loved and doted on it, and it would have a carefree life.
…
The conditions in the cave were terrible, and the craggy stone walls made Su Wan uncomfortable no matter how she leaned on them. However, Su Wan slept very well.
The night was dreamless and unexpectedly peaceful.
When Su Wan woke up, Ming Ye was already gone.
She opened her drowsy eyes and soon saw a green banana leaf next to her. There were a few red cloud fruits on it, as well as the fish that had not been eaten last night.
Su Wan rinsed her mouth and ate a little to fill her stomach. Then, she saw that Ming Ye had returned.
Ming Ye was more powerful than she had imagined. Su Wan did not know where this guy had gotten a bunch of makeup tools and even brought two sets of clothes!
The two sets of clothes were a little outdated for a middle-aged man. The colors were very gray, and there were even two brown-gray woolen hats of the same style!
The corner of Su Wan’s mouth twitched. She wondered if Ming Ye had been on the run all this time and had experience. She could not help but be convinced that he could still find so many tools in such a short time.
…
Ming Ye took out the makeup tools. There was silicone, hair sets, makeup pens, and some foundation.
Ming Ye first applied some on his face for a while, and soon he turned into a wrinkled middle-aged man. His pair of sparkling jade demon eyes were covered by contact lenses and turned into a deep blue color.
Su Wan was dumbfounded and her jaw almost dropped.
Now she finally understood why Ming Ye could tell at a glance when she was working in the cabin that she was pretending to be black.
Compared to Ming Ye’s disguising skills, she was so weak!
It would be weird if she couldn’t tell…
After Ming Ye finished his work, he started to mess around on Su Wan’s face.
Under Ming Ye’s skillful hands, Su Wan quickly turned into a sallow-faced middle-aged woman. She wore a black wool cap and her long hair was completely covered up.
The only problem was that his height could not be disguised.
Su Wan’s figure was not eye-catching and did not need to be changed much. However, Ming Ye was different. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall. Standing in the crowd, he stood out like a crane among chickens!
Therefore, the final plan was for Ming Ye to pretend to be hunchbacked. Su Wan only needed to support him.
…
Just like that, the two of them casually arrived at the Planet Lanhe airport.
The situation here was way out of Su Wan’s expectations. The checks were not as strict as she had expected, nor was it strictly guarded.
The security guards were normal with standard equipment. Even the flow of people did not decrease. People came and went, making it very convenient for Su Wan and Ming Ye to travel.
Su Wan held Ming Ye’s arm and looked around in confusion.
“It’s so strange. I don’t even feel like there’s a notice. Our faces haven’t appeared at all. Have the people of the G.o.d’s Palace forgotten about us?”
Su Wan leaned close to Ming Ye’s ear and asked in a low voice.
Ming Ye shook his head lightly. He used his eyes to signal the patrolling team in front of him. Then, he coughed lightly, indicating for Su Wan not to act rashly and not to talk nonsense here.
Su Wan quickly shut up. She was very focused as she helped Ming Ye into the automatic ticket counter.
After she swiped in her ID card, two tickets jumped out.
One was for Earth, and the other was for Planet Locke, which was where the headquarters of the G.o.d’s Palace was.
The two of them moving separately could reduce the suspicion.
It was just that Su Wan could not figure out why Ming Ye wanted to return to Planet Locke. However, after thinking about it, it made sense. The most dangerous place was also the safest place. Ming Ye knew how to save his own life more than she did.
Her ticket set off ten minutes earlier than Ming Ye’s. Su Wan waved at Ming Ye and walked towards the ticket counter at a moderate pace.
There was no such thing as a banquet that would never end. Su Wan had long understood this principle. There was no need to be sad.
