These days, some fragmented scenes always flashed through Jiang Xuecheng's mind.
Sometimes Su Wan was in those scenes, and sometimes there were many people who I had completely forgotten but yet knew.
They either raised their eyebrows and smiled at Jiang Xuecheng, or bowed their heads respectfully, but no matter what those people said, Jiang Xuecheng could not understand a word.
No, maybe it’s not that I can’t understand a single word.
Because Su Wan obtained the "Snow City" for him, it seemed that he could hear someone calling him like this from time to time.
All of this was like an endless mystery that trapped Jiang Xuecheng inside. Sometimes when he looked at Su Wan, he wondered if he had known Su Wan a long time ago.
However, Su Wan did not bring up this matter again, and he could not figure out for the time being whether he was just dreaming about it during the day or if those memories had really been taken away by someone.
Jiang Xuecheng was even slightly afraid of the final answer.
At least Jiang Xuecheng likes the current state of getting along with Su Wan, and he doesn't want to break that delicate balance.
No matter what the truth is, Jiang Xuecheng has already determined one thing: he likes Su Wan, and the previous incident with the poisonous scorpion also shows that Su Wan is willing to give everything to love him.
This is enough.
He wanted to protect her and didn't want Su Wan to suffer even the slightest harm, no matter if the harm came from others or from himself.
Thinking this through, a faint light suddenly flashed across Jiang Xuecheng's eyes. He looked at the high priest sternly, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
"High Priest, there is no way I will marry Tia, so you don't have to lobby for her."
The high priestess looked at the young man's unruly eyes and eyebrows, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and a stern look appeared on her well-maintained face.
"Do you think I'm lobbying for Tiya? I'm doing this for your own good. Do you know that your position as the son of the Divine Court is not easy to come by? You need a woman who can help you secure this position..."
Jiang Xuecheng's face darkened when he heard the high priest's instructions to Jiang Shan.
His expression was suppressed, and even his fingers slowly tightened unconsciously.
"If that's the case, there's no way I'd want her to be my wife!"
His marriage cannot be a transaction, and his ability does not need to be questioned by others!
If he can't sit still on the throne of the Divine Court's prince, then why not give it up!
He is not a person who is greedy for power!
What's more, Jiang Xuecheng knew very well why the high priest was so eager to ask him to marry Tiya.
Rather than saying that this marriage was for his own good, it would be more accurate to say that the high priestess was doing it for herself!
If the high priestess really is seeking immortality in person, then she needs a puppet to sit in the headquarters of the Divine Court for her!
Resigning is fake, having some plans is real!
The high priest knew that Jiang Xuecheng’s personal strength was limited, but he was reluctant to give up his power. In this case, it was no wonder that the major families below were ready to move!
Therefore, the first thing that the high priest thought of was that since the eldest daughter of the Siswell family liked Jiang Xuecheng, it would be better to go with the flow and do her a favor.
As the leader of the four major families, the Siswell family has both fame and power. By combining the two powerful families, they can save a lot of worries without having to expend any effort!
The high priest looked at the young man who was arguing with him, and suddenly thought of someone—Jiang Xuecheng's mother Xu Ziyao.
Jiang Xuecheng's mother seems gentle and easy to talk to, but in fact she is rebellious and will never compromise when it comes to marriage. In this respect, Jiang Xuecheng is very similar to his mother.
But so what
The high priest's mind flashed with a face that looked very similar to his own, but a little older, and he couldn't help but let out a disdainful sneer.
What she disliked most was people with this kind of personality. Jiang Xuecheng's mother had caused so much trouble in the past, and now it was Xu Ziyao's son who was repeating the same mistakes.
"Do you think you can marry whomever you want if you don't want to? This is not something you can choose at all!"
When the high priest saw Jiang Xuecheng clench his fists, the sarcastic smile on her lips became more profound.
She looked up at Jiang Xuecheng. She was obviously shorter than the young man, but her aura was just as great as his.
"Don't you like that little girl named Su? Do you want to know why I indulge her and keep her by your side since I want you to marry Diya?"
When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, veins suddenly popped out on his fingers, but his breathing suddenly stagnated!
He knew that he must not lose his composure, but when he saw the sympathetic yet condescending look of the high priest, an extremely terrifying suspicion emerged in his mind.
The high priest kept his curiosity in suspense, which made Jiang Xuecheng a little frightened.
Su Wan is his Achilles' heel and also his only weakness.
Jiang Xuecheng had long anticipated that the high priest would pick on Su Wan, so when he brought Su Wan back to the Divine Court, he secretly arranged for someone to protect her.
Firstly, he was afraid that someone would take advantage of 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 was away, Jiang Xuecheng had already figured it out very clearly that he could not lose Su Wan.
Even if he had to tie her up, he would tie Su Wan to his side first.
However, after spending these days with Su Wan, Jiang Xuecheng discovered that the two of them could actually get along very well, and there was no need to take any extreme measures to embarrass each other.
Trust is the highest principle of getting along with each other.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at the high priest with gnashing teeth, his voice filled with hidden anger, and in the silent study, every word was powerful!
"What did you do to Su Wan?!"
Jiang Xuecheng was anxious, but there was another voice in his mind that kept comforting him.
The high priest had just returned, and he had deliberately sent more people, so even if the high priest wanted to do something to Su Wan, he would not have enough time to do it.
So Jiang Xuecheng still had a sense of luck in his heart, hoping that the high priest was just looking for a gimmick to fool him.
"You ask me what I did to her?"
The high priest raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Xuecheng, the smile on his face still noble and elegant, with a kind of unconscious cruelty.
"It's very simple. When the DNA test results came out, I remember your performance was very impressive. You should still remember that day, right?"
Every word the high priest spoke was as sharp as a knife, and Jiang Xuecheng's face turned pale.
"I was thinking, if a man cares so much about a woman, when he knows that she has cheated on him, he would rather pretend that nothing has happened and abort the child in order to preserve the relationship. What's the mentality?"
"So I asked the doctor to give Su Wan an injection."
When he spoke, the high priest's voice was as clear as mountain stream, and his tone was even more calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
Seeing Jiang Xuecheng's painful expression, the high priest smiled even more happily.
"That's the latest CHK-3 virus that I had people develop. It's never been tested on a living person before..."
