Chapter 531: To Pass You By
Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat when she was stared at by that girl. She blinked her eyes in confusion.
“Why are you kneeling?”
When that girl saw that Su Wan was actually being so rude, her eyes revealed a strong sense of disbelief and anger.
“The Emperor is patrolling this place. Why aren’t you kneeling? Don’t tell me that you want the God’s Palace to punish you for being disrespectful?!”
Su Wan was surprised when she saw the girl’s angry look. She looked around and saw that the crowd was indeed a mass of people with their bodies bent. She was the only one who stood out.
No way, these people had been brainwashed by that “God’s Palace?”
Although Su Wan had learned from others that the God’s Palace was similar to the church on Earth, which ruled the major galaxies spiritually.
And the emperor of the God’s Palace was like the Pope of the church. Like what the pope was to the church, the emperor was the symbol of the God’s Palace to the outside world.
But what era was this? Shouldn’t everyone be equal?
Was she going to kneel down before others and lose her pride?
Su Wan was willing to kneel down for her parents because she respected them. But to ask her to baselessly kneel down for a spiritual leader?!
When the girl saw Su Wan standing there stubbornly, she was very angry. She could not help but pull Su Wan’s body and press down on her back.
Su Wan groaned in pain. She glanced at the girl in anger and pity. She knew that the girl had been brainwashed, wasn’t about to preach her about equality.
“The Emperor’s carriage is here!”
“God, I can actually see the Emperor in my lifetime!”
The excited noise was endless. Most of the people bent their bodies and raised their heads, not wanting to miss every second when the emperor appeared.
The streets were filled with ear-piercing noise, but as many silver armored guards appeared, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Neon lights flashed and decorated the steel city with color. A carriage decorated with dark red and gold patterns slowly came out.
A man sat on the carriage raised by the guards. Like a king in the dark night, he looked down at the city.
His expression was even colder than the frozen river in winter.
The moment the man’s face appeared, Su Wan’s heartbeat seemed to slow down.
Su Wan’s clear pupils dilated in an instant.
Just one glance was enough to pierce through her soul.
Su Wan’s lips subconsciously trembled. She looked at the man who was admired by everyone in a daze and muttered his name.
Xuecheng…
How long had it been since she had seen that face? It was so long ago that when they met again, it felt like a lifetime ago.
More than ten meters away, there was a man dressed in a black robe. He was unfamiliar yet familiar.
He had handsome features, flawless cheek contours, a handsome nose bridge, thin and beautiful lips, and a pair of eyes that were as unfathomable as the deep sea in the night…
Was it because she missed Jiang Xuecheng so much that she had an illusion?
Su Wan looked at him for more than ten seconds, but she could not wake up from the shock of their reunion.
The faint neon lights in the sky seemed to have dimmed because of this man’s appearance.
He was in the middle of the crowd, easily sweeping away everyone’s gaze.
That tall figure was so tall, as if he was a noble God in the clouds, making people want to worship him.
“Xuecheng…”
Seeing that Xuecheng was about to turn away from the sight of this street, Su Wan suddenly woke up!
She could no longer see anyone else in her eyes, and she could no longer hear any other sounds. She subconsciously stood up and shouted the name of Jiang Xuecheng in Chinese.
It’s him, it must be him. How could she have mistaken him for someone else!
Su Wan’s nose was slightly sour, but more than that, she was filled with joy. She saw Jiang Xuecheng!
She had finally found him!
“Xuecheng!”
Su Wan pushed away those people who were blocking her way like she had gone mad. She wanted to get past those irrelevant people. She wanted to get close to him.
Su Wan used all her strength and shouted his name loudly.
“Xuecheng, don’t go!”
She rushed forward quickly. Because of the anxiety in her heart, even her vision became distorted,
The people beside her who were kneeling and worshipping looked at Su Wan in confusion. They did not understand what this crazy woman was shouting about!
At the place where the emperor was patrolling, she would be captured by the guards of the God’s Palace for causing trouble for no reason.
Because Su Wan was too impatient, it caused quite a stir.
Su Wan shouted the name of Jiang Xuecheng as she ran. She panted heavily and kept waving her hands, trying to attract the attention of Jiang Xuecheng.
However, suddenly, three to five guards in silver armor came out from the crowd and quickly pushed Su Wan aside!
The guard in the lead glanced at Su Wan discontentedly.
“What are you doing? If you keep making a ruckus, You’ll be thrown into jail!”
Su Wan couldn’t care less about the threats of these people. Her clear eyes stared straight at the person in the carriage, and her gaze didn’t move an inch.
Although Su Wan’s arm was restrained, she still shouted loudly in the direction of Jiang Xuecheng.
“Jiang Xuecheng!”
Su Wan kept screaming. Her throat was already burning with pain, but she could not stop. She was afraid that she would lose Jiang Xuecheng again.
He would definitely hear it, he would definitely…
“I said, do you not understand human language?!”
The leader of the guards glared at Su Wan when he saw that she was not listening to him. Then, he used his hand to block Su Wan’s mouth.
Su Wan cried out in a low voice. She tried to resist, but she was no match for his strength. She could only watch as the carriage that was a few meters away disappeared.
Jiang Xuecheng had disappeared.
Su Wan looked at the figure that had disappeared around the corner in a daze. Her ears buzzed as if she was laughing at her pitiful situation.
…
The young emperor in the carriage raised his eyes slightly. His lake-like cold gaze swept past the direction where the voice had come from, as if he was searching for something nearby.
Due to the suppression of the guards, the originally restless crowd had long calmed down. Looking from afar, one could only see a dense mass of heads.
What exactly was that woman who had screamed so loudly earlier shouting about?
She was so sad, so anxious, and so happy…
“Did you hear anything just now?”
The young emperor glanced at the guard in front of him, his voice indifferent.
The guard followed the emperor’s gaze and bowed his head respectfully, reporting softly.
“Your Highness, there was a crazy woman making a ruckus earlier. I have already sent someone to suppress it. I hope it won’t affect Your Highness’ mood.”
The man nodded calmly. His expression became more and more indifferent and cold under the bright neon lights.
…
The most painful thing in life… was to pass you by.
Su Wan stared blankly as the Jiang Xuecheng disappeared from her sight. From her previous struggle, her expression suddenly became desolate. Her entire person was like a puppet that had lost its soul.
