  In a lounge that was neither too big nor too small, Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan sat together, while Ming Ye and Diya sat on the other side.

  For a moment, no one said anything. The four of them looked at one another, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

  He’s handing the God’s Palace over to them?

  Diya’s eyes widened. She felt that these words had caused her to feel dizzy, and she was actually unable to understand what Jiang Xuecheng meant.

  At this moment, the God’s Palace was in a state of turmoil. Even her parents were constantly worried. If Jiang Xuecheng were to leave just like that, then they would have no backbone left in the God’s Palace. It was likely that it would stir up another storm!

  “Your Highness, you can’t be thinking of letting me and Ming Ye manage the God’s Palace after you and Miss Su leave, right? How can that be? I don’t have any talent in this area!”


  Diya bit the corner of her lips. She probably didn’t have any ideas, so she couldn’t help but steal a glance at Ming Ye, who was on her right.

  That man, on the other hand, was extremely calm, as if this news couldn’t shake him at all……

  Su Wan looked at Diya with a smile, and spoke with a coaxing tone.

  “If you don’t know how to, you can learn.”


  “But I……”


  Diya’s gaze was filled with confusion. She had never thought that such a great “good thing” would happen to her in the future.

  A position that many people would never be able to obtain.

  A position that many people would risk their lives for.

  Yet, Jiang Xuecheng had said that he didn’t want it, and had even given it to her!

  How laughable was fate?!

  Her dearest and most beloved elder brother had risked his life in order to become the ruler of the God’s Palace. He had been admired by many people, yet in the end, he ended up dying without a complete corpse.

  As for her parents, they had spent their entire lives fighting for power and influence. Because of this, they had almost lost their lives. If it had not been for luck, she might have become a lonely person.

  But…… one day, the emperor said that he would give her this position!

  Such a light decision did not excite Diya much. She only felt a sense of uncertainty.

  If only…… if only her brother was still alive?

  In fact, sometimes there was no need to fight for it, because even if you fought for it, you would not be able to get it. Sometimes, if you did not want it, it would come to you by itself.

  Diya could not help but frown. Her amber-colored eyes were filled with sorrow. Crystal tears fell from the corner of her eyes.

  When Su Wan saw her like this, she was also stunned.

  “Diya, what happened? Why are you crying out of nowhere? People who don’t know might think that we bullied you……”


  Diya’s expression was gloomy.

  “It’s nothing. I just suddenly thought of my brother……”


  The words that came out of her thin red lips silenced Su Wan.

  Su Wan could not help but tug at Jiang Xuecheng’s sleeves. She did not know what to say.

  It was no wonder that Diya would suddenly have such emotions. Fiennes had died so tragically, not even leaving a complete corpse behind. Perhaps the root of all this was the position that Jiang Xuecheng had given away.

  Power was sometimes a double-edged sword.

  Some people fall head over heels for it, becoming a god on the cloud that everyone worshiped. Some people died because of it, suddenly becoming prisoners.

  In fact, it seemed that Diya was much more mature than before.

  At the very least, she had seen clearly the reason for her brother’s death. Perhaps, if it was the spoiled and willful young lady from before, she would only blindly vent her anger on others.

  However, growth often meant pain.

  Su Wan’s face showed some comfort. She reached out her hand and silently covered Diya’s palm.

  “Diya, don’t be afraid. Your brother took the risk to do such a thing back then. He must have tolerated the high priest for a very long time. If it were you and Ming Ye, you would purge a lot of the darkness, right?”


  As Su Wan spoke, she could not help but look at Ming Ye.

  There was an obvious pleading look on her face.

  Ever since she found out about Ming Ye’s background, Su Wan felt that his background was even more heartbreaking than she had imagined.

  He had once experienced the darkness that no one knew about the God’s Palace. It was likely that Ming Ye would be able to lead the God’s Palace towards the light together with Diya.

  Ming Ye indifferently raised his eyes. His pair of jade monster eyes were clear and flowing with light.

  “I might have to disappoint you. I also don’t know how to manage it.”


  When Su Wan heard this answer, she couldn’t help but feel a little helpless.

  She thought that Ming Ye had silently agreed to it by not saying anything earlier!

  Su Wan immediately looked at Jiang Xuecheng as if she was asking for help. Jiang Xuecheng was amused by her appearance and could not help but rub Su Wan’s hair. His actions were completely indulgent.

  After Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan openly showed their affection, he turned his head solemnly and looked back at Ming Ye.

  “Just like what Wan Wan said, you can learn if you don’t know how to do it.”


  Jiang Xuecheng paused for a moment and pointed at Diya.

  “Moreover, Diya was born in the Siswell family. Although her vitality was greatly damaged due to the incident a while ago, she is still well-known among the nobles. It is impossible for her to be declined in a short period of time. Diya is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Siswell, so it is legitimate for her to take over.”


  “If you are afraid that you don’t know how to manage it, it is even simpler. I believe that the Duke and Duchess of Siswell have a lot of experience in this area. They will definitely not let you two continue to be confused.”


  When Ming Ye heard this, he suddenly interrupted Jiang Xuecheng.

  “If that’s the case, Diya can do it. Why am I needed?”


  He had never liked to get involved in this kind of power struggle.

  As if he had expected Ming Ye to ask this question, Jiang Xuecheng smiled faintly.

  “Because the Duke and Duchess of the Siswell family are not good people either. Ming Ye, I don’t think you would like to see many people suffer such a thing like you, right?”


  “It is precisely because you have experienced it that I believe you understand the pain of being manipulated more than anyone else.”


  Upon hearing Jiang Xuecheng publicly say that her parents were not good, Diya’s lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to argue. However, just as her words reached her lips, she suddenly stopped.

  She knew that Jiang Xuecheng was telling the truth.

  The high priest was not a good person, and their family was definitely not filled with innocent people.

  Ming Ye was silent for a moment upon hearing that. His jade eyes narrowed slightly, and he was astonishingly calm.

  “Then what do you want me to do?”


  “Ming Ye, you and Diya are in love with each other, right?”


  Jiang Xuecheng did not answer Ming Ye’s question. Instead, they started a new topic.

  Diya suddenly trembled. Her cheeks were clearly flushed. Her heartbeat was so fast that it was as if it was drumming.

  She had never thought that she would be exposed by such a sentence. However, she liked Ming Ye. Did Ming Ye like her?

  Would he like…… such a broken version of herself?

  A layer of mist appeared in Diya’s eyes. Her expression suddenly became dispirited.

  Diya did not dare to look at Ming Ye’s expression at this moment. She only hurriedly explained to Jiang Xuecheng.

  “Your Highness, don’t talk nonsense. There is nothing between Ming Ye and I……”
