Hearing the guard's hurried report, Jiang Xuecheng's expression froze.
His eyes fixed on Su Wan's face, and he immediately stuffed the fairy tale book back into Su Wan's hands.
"Wanwan, you stay here and play with Nuonuo. I'll go over first."
…
The high priest actually took action? !
Su Wan knew that Ming Ye had been well fed and well provided by the high priest during this period. Even after the high priest took Ming Ye away, he had never met Ming Ye in person.
Su Wan was also shocked when she heard this. Before she could come to her senses, Jiang Xuecheng had already left in a hurry with the guard.
"Hello-"
She hasn't said she wants to go too!
Is it okay to just leave her like this
Su Wan was complaining in her heart. She just stood up, thought carefully for a while, and finally sat back on the rattan chair silently.
Su Wan also understood that she wouldn't be able to help much even if she went.
It’s better to stay here and not cause trouble.
So Su Wan took the fairy tale book and continued to tell Nuo Nuo the story of the mermaid princess.
Before Jiang Xuecheng arrived, Su Wan had already told most of the story, with only the last part left to say.
Nuonuo listened patiently to Su Wan's story with his big round eyes open. He listened until the end, but his expression was still very confused.
"Master, I don't think this story is good at all. Isn't the ending too bad?"
Su Wan was stunned when he heard this. This was Su Wan's favorite fairy tale, but he didn't expect it to get such a bad evaluation from Nuo Nuo.
Su Wan stared at Nuo Nuo blankly, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Nuo Nuo's round head.
"Don't you feel touched by the little mermaid's sacrifices?"
As soon as Su Wan finished speaking, she realized what she had said.
For a robot to talk about being moved or not seems a little too profound.
Because Nuo Nuo often behaves too humanly, she sometimes unconsciously treats Nuo Nuo as a human being, as her own brother, or as her own child.
Nuo Nuo reached out and grabbed Su Wan's arm, looking quite serious.
"No, I think it's not worth it for the Little Mermaid to do this. The prince doesn't even know about the Little Mermaid's sacrifice. If it were me, I would explain this matter clearly no matter what."
Su Wan was stunned when he heard this.
"But the little mermaid can't speak."
Nuonuo gave Su Wan a look that said "you're so stupid".
"Although the little mermaid can't speak, she can learn human writing. It's not like her hands can't write. Anyway, I chose to make it clear that I was the prince who saved me, and I live with my beloved, so that he will like me too."
Well…
Su Wan was completely stunned.
How come she never seemed to notice the loopholes in The Little Mermaid when she read it before
Seeing Su Wan in a daze, Nuo Nuo snuggled up to Su Wan and couldn't help but reach out and shake Su Wan's arm.
"Master, don't you think that when you die, there will be nothing left?"
Matters of life and death are ultimately uncertain.
For some reason, Su Wan felt a little bitter when she heard Nuo Nuo's opinion.
She has been feeling restless and increasingly sleepy these days. Is this... a sign of physical deterioration
If she died one day, what would Jiang Xuecheng do
Su Wan had never thought deeply about this question before, and she didn't dare to think about it further.
Su Wan forced a smile and reached out to pinch Nuo Nuo's face.
"How can you understand life and death? Let me tell you a different story. It's the story of Snow White and the seven dwarfs."
The afternoon breeze was slightly intoxicating, and the sunlight passed through the heavy shadows of the flowers, scattering pieces of gold across the courtyard.
Su Wan was sitting on a rattan chair, with Nuonuo nestled beside her legs. The voice of Su Wan reading a fairy tale was faintly gentle.
It seems that the years are peaceful and the world is stable.
…
At the same time, on the other side, Jiang Xuecheng had arrived at the darkroom that received the footage of Mingye.
Ming Ye had already woken up at this time. Compared to the miserable state he was in when he was just sent to the high priest, his complexion looked much better.
However, he had unbreakable shackles made of silver tear ore on his hands and feet.
This is to restrict Mingye's movements and prevent him from escaping.
In the opinion of the high priestess, Mingye was so cunning and secretive that she had to be on guard against him.
So in addition to the matching handcuffs and shackles, the high priest also gave Mingye a drug that makes people debilitated.
The drug was mixed in the food. Although the dosage was not large, the accumulation of it over time was enough to make Mingye's body weak.
What she wants is absolute certainty!
At this moment, Mingye was obviously sitting on a vehicle, because the picture was shaking slightly and did not look stable.
What Jiang Xuecheng didn't expect the most was that through the image transmission, a woman's figure suddenly appeared in the cabin.
The person was tall and slender, with a bright and beautiful profile, except for a scar running across her cheek.
It completely destroyed that kind of moving beauty.
etc!
Isn't that the high priest? !
Jiang Xuecheng stared at the woman who was standing there perfectly still, and his expression suddenly changed.
The high priest was actually in the car too. No, that’s not the point. The point is the high priest’s hands and feet… It looks fine!
Although his hands were still a little weak, he could obviously move them freely!
Jiang Xuecheng took a closer look and found that the high priest had a thin black cane on his elbow, which seemed to be used to support his body balance.
It was just because the picture was not clear just now, and the high priest was wearing a plain black outfit with a hood on the back, so Jiang Xuecheng did not notice the high priest's cane at first glance.
Judging from the current situation, although the high priest has not fully recovered, he can at least get out of the wheelchair!
Jiang Xuecheng had all kinds of bad guesses in his mind.
His expression turned cold, and he immediately pointed at the guard closest to him.
"You, go ask the high priest if she is still in the Divine Court! I need to find her for something."
The person who was instructed by Jiang Xuecheng immediately nodded and said yes, then ran out like the wind.
…
In just five minutes, the other party came back to report.
"Your Highness, they said that the high priest is taking a nap and is not feeling well so it is inconvenient for him to see you. If you want to go, please wait until tomorrow."
Hearing this, Jiang Xuecheng's expression changed again and again, and finally his expression became as solemn as water.
—Just now, seeing the high priest’s dress, it was obvious that he wanted to conceal his whereabouts.
Besides... since he lied that he was taking a nap, he also said that he could visit me tomorrow.
This proves that the place the high priest wants to take Mingye to is a place that can be reached and back within one day!
Can she accomplish her goals in just one day
So fast?!
Or is the high priest going to meet with some important confidant
Jiang Xuecheng was filled with doubt and uncertainty. He coldly scanned the images transmitted by the machine and gave orders without delay.
"Let's find an inconspicuous maglev car and immediately disguise ourselves and catch up with them!"
