Chapter 779: Unintentional Interference And Unexpected

Discovery

They actually wanted to talk in private?

Su Wan frowned. She looked at the anxious attending physician, and the doubt in her heart grew stronger.

What kind of news could they not know?!

Just as Su Wan was hesitating, she suddenly heard Jiang Xuecheng speak.

“Then come out with me for a moment. There’s a soundproof room in this corridor. Will you at least tell me this?”

Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was indifferent, but it seemed to carry a terrifying aura. It shook the attending physician so much that he could not help but breathe lightly.

The attending physician looked into Jiang Xuecheng’s unfathomable eyes. He gritted his teeth and pondered for a second before finally nodding.

“Okay.”

Seeing the attending physician nod in agreement, Jiang Xuecheng heaved a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to lead the attending physician to the door, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly turned his head.

His gaze passed through the crowd in the room and locked onto Su Wan.

“Wait for me to come back.”

Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was mellow. As he spoke, his originally cold expression softened.

Although this sentence did not deliberately specify the subject, everyone present knew their own limits.

A few young nurses could not help but glance at Su Wan from the corner of their eyes. In their hearts, they were even more envious of Su Wan’s good luck. She was actually able to be taken care of in such a way by the emperor.

If it was not for the emperor’s presence, the person bitten by the golden giant scorpion today would probably be Su Wan!

From a distance of three meters, Su Wan looked at the handsome and gentle face of Jiang Xuecheng from afar and nodded imperceptibly.

When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s response, he immediately turned around and cast a sidelong glance at the attending physician beside him. He took large strides and walked briskly to the other side of the corridor.

The attending physician followed behind Jiang Xuecheng with trepidation. He had a bitter expression on his face and would wipe the sweat off his forehead from time to time. Unfortunately, the sweat on his head was flowing more and more, probably due to fear.

…

This path was clearly very short. However, in this short period of time, the attending physician could already faintly feel a dull pain in his heart. The fear in his mind grew even stronger.

There was no other reason. Based on the attitude of the emperor, no matter what, the Emperor would not let this matter go so easily.

Although he did not know much, if the high priest did not want the emperor to know about those things, wouldn’t he be a snitch if he came to inform him?

If this continued, neither side would benefit!

After walking for about two minutes, Jiang Xuecheng stopped in front of a well-made red bronze wooden door. He stretched out his hand and used his right index finger to press the button beside the door.

It was a simple fingerprint lock.

In the blink of an eye, the attending physician heard a soft sound, and then the red bronze wooden door was automatically opened.

It was not until Jiang Xuecheng walked into the red bronze wooden door and gave him an impatient look that the attending physician finally reacted.

The attending physician secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly walked into the room. After he entered, Jiang Xuecheng casually pressed a button, and the red bronze wooden door was automatically closed again.

This was a soundproof room in Jiang Xuecheng. It was usually used to receive important guests and talk about important matters.

The decorations were extravagant and gorgeous. The hand-embroidered long fur carpet was spread out under his feet. The color was very fresh.

The exquisite crystal chandelier above his head was emitting a gentle light. The jade-colored tassels hung slightly. When the wind blew, one could hear fine sounds. It was clean and ethereal.

The most eye-catching thing was the oval-shaped carved long table in the middle. Jiang Xuecheng casually pulled out a velvet chair and sat down first.

Jiang Xuecheng raised his eyes and looked at the attending physician indifferently.

“There’s no one else now. Just tell me what you know.”

At this moment, the emperor was sitting while he was standing, but the attending physician felt like he was being looked down upon by the other party.

The attending physician’s mind was blank for a moment until Jiang Xuecheng frowned. Only then did he realize that now was not the time to be in a daze.

The attending physician hesitated for a moment before he finally decided on how to phrase it.

“Your Highness, that scorpion called the golden giant scorpion is actually a semi-artificial product…”

When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, his fingers unconsciously tightened.

“Do you mean that this species does not exist in the natural world?”

Jiang Xuecheng suddenly stood up. He stared at the attending physician with an overbearing gaze, giving off an imposing aura.

The attending physician looked conflicted, but under Jiang Xuecheng’s intense gaze, he finally nodded weakly.

“Yes… that golden giant scorpion was indeed deliberately created by someone. It’s extremely difficult to nurture and its survival rate is also very low…”

Seeing the attending physician’s terrified look, Jiang Xuecheng sneered coldly in his heart. He already understood that he seemed to have touched on some incredible clues.

Otherwise…

Why would the chief physician be so afraid?

Perhaps if he continued to dig deeper, he might be able to obtain some more “interesting” news.

Jiang Xuecheng raised his hand and abruptly interrupted the chief physician’s description. What he wanted to know was why he was raising the golden giant scorpion, but it was not because he wanted to know the physiological characteristics of this scorpion!

“Did the High Priest order someone to study this?”

Jiang Xuecheng’s low and cold voice swept into his ears. The attending physician’s fingertips slightly clenched, and his lips could not help but begin to tremble.

“Yes.”

The attending physician silently lowered his head, trying his best to reduce his presence.

“Why did the High Priest order people to spend a lot of time and energy to study this kind of thing?”

Jiang Xuecheng looked at the attending physician sternly. His side profile was cold and stern, like a high and mighty emperor.

The attending physician suddenly felt his heartbeat become more and more flustered. The words he had thought of in his mind were shattered, and he actually did not know how to reply at this moment.

Could it be that it was because of interest?

Such a simple reason could not deceive this emperor of the God’s Palace who was in front of him.

Although the attending physician only knew a little about what the high priest had been planning over the past few years, he knew that those matters were enough to cross many people’s bottom lines.

He just didn’t know if this newly promoted emperor of the God’s Palace was as righteous as he appeared on the surface.

The attending physician’s heart slowly sank. He hesitated for a long time before finally choosing a relatively reasonable wording.

“Your Highness, the High Priest has been researching how to extend the lifespan of humans over the years, and these small animals are just the subjects that the high priest had people use for experiments…”

This sentence was definitely not the whole truth, but the chief physician admitted that he was not lying at all.

Extend the lifespan of humans?!

Or rather, how to extend the lifespan of the high priest herself?!

However, this was indeed something that woman would do.

When a person had enough power and status, they would probably think about how to consolidate these things and perpetuate them forever.

Jiang Xuecheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the chief physician who was sweating profusely in front of him. His voice was as sharp as a knife.

“Is that all?”
