Chapter 1008: He Went Back On His Words

The high priest’s gaze was very sharp. When she saw the faint bruise marks on Jiang Xuecheng’s lower jaw, she had already guessed 70-80% of the identity of the person in the bag.

After all, with the current status of Jiang Xuecheng and his strength, the number of people who could hurt him were few!

And the person who would hurt Jiang Xuecheng and make Jiang Xuecheng personally send him here…

Wasn’t the identity of the person in the cloth bag already obvious?

“High Priest, you’re really smart. The person in this bag is a big gift that I want to give you. High Priest, why don’t you guess who is in this bag?”

Jiang Xuecheng smiled at the high priest. His phoenix-like eyes slightly raised, and there was a kind of soul-stirring charm that almost made people not dare to look directly at him.

However, the high priest wasn’t one of these people.

The high priest sat on the wheelchair casually.

“I don’t like to play riddles with others.”

What she meant was to let Jiang Xuecheng open it as soon as possible.

She didn’t have the patience to wait for others to slowly bluff her.

This was because, in the entire God’s Palace, even if Jiang Xuecheng had the title and identity of Emperor, who didn’t know that she was the true leader who controls the God’s Palace?

Hearing the high priest’s direct request to reveal the answer, the smile on Jiang Xuecheng’s face receded, and his expression became somewhat mocking.

“The high priest is really impatient.”

Even though he said this, Jiang Xuecheng still gave the two guards, one on the left and one on the right, a look, indicating that they should release the person in the cloth bag.

The two guards were also very tactful. With just a look, they immediately released the loose lace tied on the cloth bag.

Soon, a slender figure appeared from inside.

It was Ming Ye.

Compared to the few bruises on Jiang Xuecheng and the bleeding wound on his wrist, Ming Ye’s condition was much more miserable.

Ming Ye’s face was pale and his eyes were tightly shut, making it impossible for anyone to see that pair of bewitching jade eyes.

His face was swollen and tall. The clothes on his shoulder were torn, and there was an extremely exaggerated knife scar that was so deep that one could see his bones.

These terrifying scars were specially added on after Su Wan left. Many of them were real wounds.

After all, they had to trick that woman, the high priest. How could they spare any effort?

Of course, Jiang Xuecheng had also controlled the degree of the wounds. They would not endanger Ming Ye’s life, nor would they look too light and fake.

…

Although the high priest who was sitting in the wheelchair had already guessed that it would be Ming Ye.

However, when she really saw this young man, her usually calm expression still stirred a little!

If it wasn’t for the fact that the tendons of her hands and feet were broken, she would have really wanted to reach out and stroke Ming Ye’s face.

After all, she had watched this child grow up.

Moreover, in a certain sense, Ming Ye and the high priest were truly connected by blood.

Back then, she had lost half of her Dragon’s Blood to Ming Ye!

Unfortunately, in the end, this little ingrate still escaped from the cage!

When the high priest thought of Ming Ye’s escape and how he had repeatedly evaded her investigation, her expression instantly turned somewhat ugly.

–A disobedient “child,” of course had to be punished!

She used her elbow to press a switch on the wheelchair, and then controlled the wheelchair to slowly approach Ming Ye.

“Your Highness, did you give him a drug that made him weak all over?”

The high priest’s words were not a question, but an affirmation.

After all, anyone could see that Ming Ye’s condition was not good. His eyes were tightly shut, and there were traces of blood and sweat on his pale face.

Obviously, Ming Ye was in great pain, but his mind was not clear.

Jiang Xuecheng nodded lightly.

“This man is crazy. If we don’t use something to subdue him, he might run away once he wakes up.”

Jiang Xuecheng’s words really hit the high priest’s heart!

The high priest had never seen anyone who could run away better than Ming Ye!

Wait!

The high priest’s beautiful eyes widened slightly. She stared at Jiang Xuecheng coldly, as if she wanted to see a hole in Jiang Xuecheng’s body!

“How did you find Ming Ye?”

Jiang Xuecheng stood beside the high priest in the wheelchair. He looked down at the high priest with a hint of mockery on his face.

“If I said that because of Su Wan, I’ve been tracking Ming Ye’s whereabouts, would you believe me?”

Yes, why wouldn’t she believe me?!

The high priest snorted coldly. Of course she knew that because of Su Wan’s matter, Jiang Xuecheng and Ming Ye had always had a faint animosity.

Especially during the days when Su Wan went missing, Jiang Xuecheng had almost exhausted all financial and material resources. Even if he had to turn the sky upside down, he had to find those two people!

But now that Su Wan had returned, why would Jiang Xuecheng spend so much effort to find this man?

“Since you treat him as a love rival, why don’t you just leave Ming Ye to me to deal with!”

Without waiting for Jiang Xuecheng’s reply, the high priest shot a glance at the black-clothed bodyguard beside her.

The other party understood and instantly walked over to Ming Ye.

However, before he could take two steps, he was suddenly blocked by Jiang Xuecheng!

Seeing this scene, the high priest’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her pupils were filled with anger as if she had been deceived!

“Isn’t this the big gift you wanted to give me?”

Jiang Xuecheng had already sent people to investigate Ming Ye, so the high priest was not surprised that Jiang Xuecheng would send Ming Ye to her!

But this man actually went back on his words!

He was simply challenging her dignity!

If not for the fact that her limbs were broken, with the high priest’s temper, she might have found something to throw at Jiang Xuecheng’s face!

Ever since she had been imprisoned by Fiennes for a period of time, the high priest had become more and more impatient.

She wished that she could crush everyone under her feet!

She would not allow anyone to provoke her!

Not even the emperor that she had personally chosen!

…

When Jiang Xuecheng saw the flustered expression on the high priest’s face, his eyes narrowed and he hid the trace of mockery in his phoenix-like eyes.

“High Priest, of course I can hand this person over to you. Your second request back then was to have me find Ming Ye, right?”

The first request was to take down Fiennes. As for the second request, the high priest told Jiang Xuecheng to find someone to bring to her, but she did not tell him who the person was!

Therefore, when the high priest heard Jiang Xuecheng’s words, she was extremely shocked!

“How did you know?!”

“Is it difficult to guess? All these years, the high priest wanted to catch him but couldn’t. Isn’t he the only one?”

As Jiang Xuecheng said this, he pointed at Ming Ye who was still in the chaos, and a hint of arrogance appeared on his face.

The high priest naturally did not miss out on Jiang Xuecheng’s ridicule, and her heart immediately burned with anger!

“You–”

Jiang Xuecheng raised his hand to interrupt the high priest’s words.

“Of course, I will hand over the person to you. But now, shouldn’t the high priest fulfill her promise? Back then, you said that after completing these two tasks, you would give me the cure for the CHK Virus No.3!”
