Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As soon as Jiang Xuecheng finished speaking, not only were Diya and Ming Ye stunned, even Su Wan was stunned!
What was going on?!
Su Wan had always thought that she had a gossipy heart, but Jiang Xuecheng was not that kind of person.
Why did she suddenly feel like he was going to set Ming Ye and Diya up?
Just as Su Wan was silently wondering if Jiang Xuecheng had been led astray by her, Diya suddenly spoke up.
“Your Highness... what do you want to say?”
Diya could not help but look at Ming Ye, who was still expressionless. Her heart pounded non-stop.
She could not help but guess what Jiang Xuecheng wanted to say.
After experiencing those things, Diya knew that she liked Ming Ye, but she also felt very afraid, afraid that Ming Ye would not like her.
With a solemn expression, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly held Su Wan’s hand.
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng with a puzzled expression. She did not understand what this fellow wanted to do.
Didn’t he say that he wanted to talk about Diya and Ming Ye? Why was he holding her hand all of a sudden?
Under Ming Ye and Diya’s gazes, Su Wan felt a little uncomfortable.
“Wan Wan and I might have to go back soon.”
“Go back? Do you mean that you and Miss Su are going to leave the God’s Palace?”
“Yes.”
Jiang Xuecheng nodded graciously. At the same time, he tightened his grip on Su Wan’s hand.
Su Wan had long planned to leave this place. However, since the CHK Virus No.3 had not been dealt with, she had always wanted to find Jiang Xuecheng to talk about this after the virus was gone.
Who would have thought that Jiang Xuecheng would bring up this topic first? In such a rushed situation, not to mention that Ming Ye and Diya were also present!
...
He... he really wanted to leave the God’s Palace?!
Hearing this, Diya was shocked. She didn’t understand why Jiang Xuecheng would make such a decision.
After all, Jiang Xuecheng was the emperor of the God’s Palace. It was a position that many people couldn’t even dream of. Yet, Jiang Xuecheng actually wanted to take Su Wan away!
This was simply...
Thinking about it carefully, her brother Fiennes had killed himself in order to be able to become a superior in the God’s Palace and enjoy the feeling of being respected by everyone.
Yet, Jiang Xuecheng actually gave up just like that!
Could it be that to him, this position wasn’t worth the slightest bit of nostalgia?
Diya wasn’t the kind of person who was greedy for power. She only thought about it from another perspective. She felt that if she were to one day hold such a unique and noble status, she might not be able to let go easily.
“Your Highness, have you really thought this through?”
Facing Diya’s shocked gaze that didn’t retreat for a long time, Jiang Xuecheng was extremely calm.
“I’ve thought this through a long time ago.”
Diya’s lips quivered, as if she had thought of something.
“But right now, the God’s Palace needs you–”
Before Diya could finish her words, she suddenly heard Ming Ye, who had been silent the entire time, speak up.
“Diya, he and Miss Su aren’t from here, so it’s only normal for them to want to leave.”
Ming Ye’s faint voice swept past her ears, and Diya was instantly stunned!
Her amber-colored pupils suddenly widened, and she even became somewhat inarticulate!
“What do you mean... what do you mean they are not from here?”
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that when the high priest had just established this emperor of the God’s Palace, there was an uproar among the nobles.
Almost all of them were looking for the background of this newly-promoted emperor.
However, they could not find anything.
They only knew that the other party had pure Dragon’s Blood and an unusually handsome appearance. His personality was cold and aloof, and he was not easy to get along with.
However, when it came to the question of his background, they really did not find anything.
There were even some people who began to doubt if Jiang Xuecheng was the illegitimate son of the high priest. However, the high priest had never been interested in men. She only loved to chase after power, so it seemed unlikely.
Diya was speechless. A strange guess appeared in her mind.
“The civilizations of the major galaxies are all under the jurisdiction of the God’s Palace. Your Highness, so if you and Miss Su didn’t come from these places, where could you have come from?”
Su Wan couldn’t help but smile when she saw Diya’s dazed look.
“Have you heard of Earth?”
“The human home planet that has become so desolate that few people live on it?”
According to Diya’s knowledge, that place had become so desolate that it was unknown to what extent. There were even fewer people living there than there were on many newly developed immigrant planets.
On the other hand, there were relatively more people who went there to visit. After all, human civilization had extended from there. Those who went there to visit were almost all carrying the idea of searching for their roots.
Or, they could bury their dead relatives on that barren planet, gloriously calling it returning to their roots.
...
Seeing that Diya was so smart, Su Wan immediately nodded at her.
“That’s right, Xuecheng and I came from there, but it’s not the barren Earth as it is now. Oh, right, Xuecheng is his name, his full name is Jiang Xuecheng, Ming Ye knows it.”
Su Wan pointed at the man next to her with a mischievous expression.
Meanwhile, Diya was still in a state of shock.
What did she mean by coming from Earth, but not the barren Earth?
Because the news was too hard to digest, Diya almost misheard the name of Jiang Xuecheng.
After all, the word “Xuecheng” was spoken in Chinese, so Diya was confused when she heard it.
She was not in the mood to focus on Jiang Xuecheng’s name. Instead, she was focusing on the origins of Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng.
“You mean to say that the place where you grew up is different from where we are now?”
However, the blue planet had been deserted for an unknown number of eras. If what Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng said was true, then how did they come here in the first place?
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng had a tacit understanding this time. They nodded at Diya calmly.
Seeing that her guess was correct, Diya became more and more frightened.
“Then... how are you going to go back with His Highness?”
Su Wan smiled faintly and pointed at Jiang Xuecheng.
“We’ll have to ask the high priest about that. After all, Xuecheng and I came here because of her. Xuecheng, since you talked about this openly today, you must have a clue, right?”
“I do have a clue, but to be on the safe side, I’ll continue to let the experimenters left behind by the high priest develop the space-time retrogression machine.”
Xuecheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his pair of deep black phoenix eyes shone brightly.
Su Wan’s heart lit up, and she almost jumped up subconsciously!
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true. How could I lie to you?”
“That’s great, that’s great!”
Su Wan had long wanted to leave this damned place. Now that she heard that she had a chance to leave, she couldn’t help but be overjoyed. She smiled as she leaned on Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder and began to fantasize about her grand plan of returning.
Seeing Su Wan’s excitement that was difficult to hide, Jiang Xuecheng couldn’t help but laugh as he shook his head. Then, he looked solemnly at Diya and Ming Ye.
“Ming Ye, Diya, just like what I said just now, Su Wan and I will leave sooner or later. Therefore, I want to hand the God’s Palace over to you.”
