District 13 is a bit far from District 9.
They were teleported several times in succession until they arrived at the outskirts of District 9 in the early morning of the third day.
Shen Ce dismounted and quickly walked to the carriage. He placed his hand on his chest, bowed his head slightly, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, we are going to enter District Nine next."
At this time, the curtain was pulled open.
Shen Ce looked over expectantly, but what he saw was Feng Xingyao's handsome face full of smiles. Shen Ce's face suddenly darkened.
Feng Xingyao raised his eyebrows slightly, "District Master Shen, why is your face so dark? Be careful to prevent heatstroke."
Shen Ce's expression became even colder, and he sneered, "Shen has always been rough, not as delicate as Your Majesty."
Feng Xingyao smiled softly.
"I'm not a spoiled child, I'm naturally beautiful. Unlike you, who are so ugly."
Shen Ce's face turned gloomy in an instant. He glared at Feng Xingyao fiercely, and a trace of anger rose in his heart.
Is he trying to compete with me in beauty?
Just when Shen Ce was about to say something, Feng Xingyao said calmly, "Please make way. I need to leave."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ce gritted his teeth in his heart, but did not dare to show it on his face.
He reluctantly stepped back a little to make room for Feng Xingyao.
After Feng Xingyao got off the carriage, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned around and looked at the carriage, as if he was waiting for something.
At this time, the girl in the carriage slowly stuck her head out, and her cold and noble face came into everyone's sight.
She stepped out of the carriage.
Just as the girl was about to get off the car, two hands suddenly appeared in front of her, one from Feng Xingyao and the other from Shen Ce.
Chen Yan was slightly stunned, frowned and glanced at Feng Xingyao and Shen Ce.
Seeing this, Shen Ce hurried forward, looking at Shen Yan with anticipation in his eyes, and invited softly, "Your Highness."
Feng Xingyao stood still, but his affectionate eyes looked at her with a hint of grievance.
Chen Yan: “…”
She said helplessly: "I can get off the carriage by myself."
Chen Ce's expression remained unchanged. He stepped aside wisely and let Chen Yan get off the carriage.
But Feng Xingyao did not take his hand away. After Shen Yan got off the carriage, she raised her hand and placed it on his palm.
Feng Xingyao curled his lips, gently pinched her hand, and rubbed it a few times with his fingertips.
This scene made Shen Ce’s face even uglier.
Chen Ce lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, this is the outskirts of District 9. Without the District 9 token to guide us, we cannot reach District 9 safely."
Chen Yan looked at Chen Ce and asked doubtfully, "Zone Nine Token?"
Shen Ce explained, "The District 9 Token is like a special pass that allows us to pass through the checkpoints of District 9 unimpeded. Without this token, others would generally have to choose to risk their lives by crossing those dangerous paths to enter District 9."
Chen Yan asked: "Do you have the District 9 token?"
Shen Ce nodded and said, “Please rest assured, Your Highness. I have the District Nine Token in my hand and will do my best to ensure your safety.”
Hearing this, Chen Yan nodded slightly, and then she looked at the surrounding environment. The wind and sand had obviously weakened, and the surrounding vegetation had become lush.
The ground is covered with colorful wisteria flowers, like a purple ocean.
Not far ahead, a magnificent archway came into view. Atop the arch hung a plaque with three characters inscribed in a flamboyant style: District 9.
The arch looks very old and shows signs of erosion by wind and sand.
The group walked through the sea of wisteria and came to the archway.
Feng Xingyao stopped, looked sideways at Chen Yan, and softly introduced: "There is a formation at this archway, called the Life and Death Formation. Anyone who accidentally enters the formation will either be extremely lucky and reach the Ninth District City alive, or be extremely unlucky and die."
Shen Ce smiled slightly and interrupted, “If you have the District 9 token, you can reach District 9 unimpeded.”
After that, the two men looked at each other.
The smell of gunpowder was extremely strong.
Soon, their attention was drawn to Chen Yan's words.
"Is this the only entrance to District 9?"
Feng Xingyao replied, "More than that, this is indeed the only one on the surface."
Shen Ce looked at Shen Yan, his eyebrows and eyes gentle as he said, "Your Highness, I have contacted them in advance. When we arrive, someone will pick us up."
Chen Yan said "hmm" lightly, but it was unclear who she was responding to.
Soon, Shen Ce took out an ancient Nine Districts token from his arms, then placed it on the archway's recess and gently pressed it. In an instant, the entire formation began to change. The originally peaceful space suddenly stirred up a strong energy fluctuation. Then, a dazzling light flashed, and a huge vortex appeared before his eyes.
However, this formation vortex made Feng Xingyao and Old Qiu look slightly strange.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yan asked.
Feng Xingyao smiled and shook his head, and his hand couldn't help but hold Chen Yan's hand tightly.
Shen Ce walked over quickly and raised his hand respectfully towards Chen Yan, "Your Highness, please."
Chen Yan nodded, and walked side by side with Feng Xingyao towards the whirlpool.
Shen Ce and Qiu Lao followed closely behind.
Old Qiu said to Shen Ce with an ambiguous expression: "You are truly loyal."
Shen Ce frowned as he listened, because he felt that Qiu Lao's words were full of sarcasm.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing." Old Qiu laughed twice.
A sense of disobedience welled up in Shen Ce’s heart.
At this moment, Chen Yan in front of them heard something unusual.
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the person beside her.
He smiled and gave her a reassuring smile.
Chen Yan immediately understood.
She stared ahead, her eyes turning cold.
Before stepping into the vortex entrance, she looked back at Shen Ce and smiled, “You did a great job.”
Shen Ce was stunned, somewhat confused.
But after seeing her and Feng Xingyao enter the vortex, his face suddenly changed and he couldn't help but shout, "Your Highness!"
The entrance to the vortex suddenly became turbulent, as if it was going to tear people to pieces!
He strode forward, but only had time to catch a piece of cloth torn apart by the turbulence of space. This was exactly the fabric of Chen Yan's clothes.
Shen Ce's face was filled with shock and doubt. He lowered his eyes to look at the torn pieces of cloth, and then thought of what His Highness said to him before entering the whirlpool. His heart seemed to be cut sharply.
Shen Ce thought of something and suddenly turned to look at Old Qiu: "There is a problem with the entrance to this formation. Did you know it a long time ago?"
Old Qiu showed an innocent look, "Oh? Don't you know? I thought you were deliberately trying to frame Miss Shen's life."
Shen Ce's expression became even uglier.
How could he possibly frame His Highness...
But it happened that he was the one who opened this entrance...
etc!
Shen Ce looked down at the District Nine Token in his hand, and suddenly thought of something. His face suddenly became gloomy.
It was them, those old ministers...
Cheated him!
Are they going to betray His Highness? !
