Su Wan's heart skipped a beat when she was stared at by the girl, and she blinked in confusion.
“Why are you kneeling?”
When the girl saw that Su Wan was so rude, her eyes were filled with disbelief and anger.
"The Emperor's son is touring this place, why don't you kneel? Do you want the Divine Court to punish you for disrespect?!"
Su Wan was very surprised to see the angry girl. She looked around and saw a crowd of people, all bent over. She was the only one standing there, standing out.
No way, have these people been brainwashed by that damn "Divine Court"
Although Su Wan had already learned from others that the Divine Court was an organization similar to the church on Earth, exercising spiritual rule over the major star regions.
The Emperor's son of the Divine Court is like the Pope of the Church. To the Church, he is the symbol of the Divine Court to the outside world.
But what era is this now? Shouldn’t we emphasize equality for all
Do I have to kneel down for others and give up my pride
Su Wan was willing to kneel before the heavens, the earth, and her parents because she respected them, but to ask her to kneel before a fictitious spiritual leader?!
The girl was furious when she saw Su Wan standing there stubbornly. She couldn't help but pull Su Wan's body and press down on his back.
Su Wan groaned in pain. She glanced at the girl with a mixture of anger and pity. She knew that she was brainwashed and she was not going to give her any chicken soup for the soul that everyone is equal.
"The emperor's sedan chair is coming!"
"Oh my god, I can actually see the Emperor's son in my lifetime!"
The excited noise was endless, and most people bent their bodies and raised their heads not to miss every minute and every second of the Emperor's presence.
The streets were constantly filled with harsh noises, but with the appearance of many guards in silver armor, everything suddenly became quiet.
The flickering neon lights decorated the steel city with colorful lights, and a sedan chair decorated with dark red and gold patterns slowly emerged.
A man sat on a sedan chair lifted by guards, looking down at the city like a king in the dark night.
His expression was colder than the frozen river water in winter.
The moment the man's profile appeared, Su Wan's heartbeat seemed to suddenly slow down.
Su Wan's clear pupils dilated in an instant.
Just one glance was enough to hurt her soul.
Su Wan's lips trembled subconsciously. She looked at the man who was admired by everyone in dismay, muttering his name.
Snow City…
How long had it been since she last saw that face? When she saw him again, it felt like a lifetime ago.
The man wrapped in a black golden robe more than ten meters away looked both strange and familiar.
Such handsome eyebrows, flawless cheek contours, heroic nose bridge, thin and beautiful lips, and those eyes that are as unpredictable as the deep sea at night...
Is it because she missed Jiang Xuecheng so much that she had an illusion
Su Wan looked at him for more than ten seconds, but was unable to recover from the shock of the reunion.
The faint neon lights in the sky seemed to dim because of the appearance of this man.
He was right in the center of the crowd, easily catching everyone's attention.
The tall figure was so majestic, like a noble god in the clouds, making people want to worship him.
"Snow City..."
Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng was about to leave the street from his sight, Su Wan suddenly woke up!
She could no longer see anyone else, and her ears could no longer hear any other sounds. She stood up subconsciously and shouted Jiang Xuecheng's name loudly in Chinese.
It was him, it had to be him, how could she have mistaken him!
Su Wan felt a slight sourness in her nose, but more than that she was filled with joy. She saw Jiang Xuecheng!
She finally found him!
"Snow City!"
Su Wan pushed away those who were blocking her way like crazy. She wanted to pass those irrelevant people and get closer to him.
Su Wan shouted his name as loudly as she could.
"Xuecheng, don't go!"
She hurried forward quickly, her vision distorted by her anxiety.
The people kneeling beside her looked at Su Wan in confusion, not understanding what this crazy woman was shouting!
She was causing trouble for no reason in a place where the emperor's son was parading. Would she be arrested by the guards of the Divine Court? !
Because Su Wan was too anxious, it caused quite a stir.
Su Wan shouted Jiang Xuecheng's name while running. She was panting and waving her hands constantly, trying to attract Jiang Xuecheng's attention.
However, suddenly, three or five guards in silver armor stepped out from the crowd and quickly carried Su Wan aside!
The leading guard glanced at Su Wan with dissatisfaction.
"What are you making a fuss about! If you keep making a fuss like this, I'll throw you into jail!"
Su Wan didn't care about the threats from these people. Her clear eyes were fixed on the person on the sedan chair without moving her gaze.
Although Su Wan's arm was restrained, he still shouted loudly in the direction of Jiang Xuecheng.
"Snow City—"
Su Wan kept screaming, her throat already felt like it was burning, but she couldn't stop, for she was afraid of missing Jiang Xuecheng.
He will definitely hear it, he will definitely...
"I say, do you not understand what people say or what?!"
Seeing that Su Wan refused to listen, the leading guard glared at Su Wan fiercely and then covered Su Wan's mouth with his hand.
Su Wan cried out in a groaning voice and tried to resist, but she was no match for the opponent's strength and could only watch the sedan chair go away a few meters away.
Jiang Xuecheng is missing.
Su Wan looked at the figure disappearing around the corner in dismay, her ears buzzing as if it was mocking her pitiful situation.
…
The young prince on the sedan chair raised his eyes slightly. His cold eyes like lake water swept across the direction where the voice came from, as if he was searching for something nearby.
Thanks to the guards' suppression, the originally restless crowd had long since calmed down, and from a distance, one could only see a sea of heads.
What was that woman who was screaming at the top of her lungs just now shouting
So sad, so anxious, and with a little indescribable joy...
"Did you hear anything just now?"
The young prince glanced at the guards in front of him and spoke in a light voice.
The guard followed the Prince's gaze, bowed his head respectfully, and replied softly.
"Your Highness, there was a crazy woman making a fuss earlier. I have already sent someone to suppress her. I hope it will not affect your Highness' mood."
The man nodded calmly, and in the shimmering neon light, his expression became increasingly indifferent and cold.
…
The most painful thing in this life is passing by you.
Su Wan stared blankly at Jiang Xuecheng disappearing from her sight. After struggling hard before, her expression suddenly turned lonely, and she looked like a puppet, without a soul.
