Chapter 541 Oriental City
He was a very tall and thin fox-like male orc, wearing a very stylish animal skin dress and holding a spear made of simple stones in his hand.
He looked very familiar with Si Ye. "I never thought I'd be able to see His Highness return home in my lifetime. I'm so moved!"
In contrast to his enthusiasm, Si Ye's face remained calm. "Xin Rui, long time no see. I never thought I would return to Dongfang City one day. If you truly welcome me back, you should open the city gates and let us in."
Xia Tian felt that the current situation did not seem very clear, and there seemed to be something very complicated going on, so she stood obediently at the back without saying a word.
Xin Rui's originally enthusiastic attitude changed when he heard Si Ye mention entering the city gate. "Hey, you know, I'm just a gatekeeper. How can I change the city lord's order? It's not that I don't want you to go in, but... the city lord has already ordered that anyone entering the city must provide a special token."
Obviously, Si Ye and his men don't have this token.
"Token?" Si Ye wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he raised his lips and smiled. "What token do I need to go home?"
"Oh, who said it wasn't?" Xin Rui was also a smooth-talking person, smiling and not offending anyone. "But I'm not you. I'm just trying to make a living here. Can you please not make things difficult for us little people?"
"It's easy to see the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with the little devils!" Xia Tian complained quietly from behind.
In the end, he still couldn't escape Si Ye's attention. He turned around and asked, "What did you just say?"
"Ah?" Xia Tian raised her head. "I mean... we're all out here trying to make a living. It's not easy for anyone. Let's be considerate of each other. If you don't want us to go in, then forget it. There's no need to force it."
"But..." Si Ye wanted to continue speaking, but due to the people coming and going at the city gate, and the fact that they were both dressed very peculiarly, more and more people had gathered around them.
He didn't continue to dwell on this issue. "Okay, I'll listen to you. If you don't want to go in, then don't go in."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave with Xia Tian.
At this moment, Xin Rui seemed to see Xia Tian who had been hiding behind him. His fox eyes flashed and he called out to her and the others, "Wait!"
"Anything else?" Fortunately, Xia Tian was there. If Si Ye had been alone, he would have gone in directly. Why would he still be wasting time talking to him here?
"Wait—" Xin Rui caught up from behind, his eyes falling on Xia Tian intentionally or unintentionally, "Is this beautiful woman... with His Highness?"
It turns out that he has a crush on Xia Tian.
She pointed at her face. "You mean me? Yes, I came here with Aye. What do you want to say?"
Xin Rui smiled awkwardly. "Although the city lord's order requires a token to enter, this was also due to the abnormal weather this year and the fear of an influx of refugees from the surrounding areas. But you are a noble female and are not bound by these rules. As long as you want to come in, you can come in at any time, without being bound by these rules!"
At this point, Xia Tian finally understood.
To put it bluntly, this is treating her as a female tool!
Otherwise, why is it that Si Ye, as a male, is not allowed to do this or that, but is fine with her?
Different treatment!
