The system of rule in this land has evolved over the centuries and has matured, and it has learned from the experience of all previous dynasties that it needs to establish a belief in the people in addition to the perfection of the ruling system.

The Holy Maiden is a representative of this faith. A ray of sunlight pierced the clouds, covering the earth with a golden veil.

A beam of light broke into the carriage and gently sat down on Lin Su's eyelashes. Wu Li had already woken up and looked out the window.

It would take about five or six days to reach the Imperial City. Lin Su slowly opened his eyes, saw the roof of the carriage, and slowed down for a while before he realized that he was no longer at home.

After a moment's pause, he suddenly realized that there was an adult in the carriage. So he hurriedly sat up straight and looked in the direction of Wu Li.

What she saw...... is still wearing purple clothes and wearing a goldfish jade pendant. But...... There was also a sense of sadness and loneliness that kept pouring into every pore of Lin Su like air.

Lin Su seemed to have been thrown into a lake in the cold night, like drowning, and she struggled violently. But no one could save her, so she just sank to the bottom of the lake, the air was pulled out of her lungs, and the pain in her chest was as sharp as if it were on fire, and the light left......

"Save ...... Help......" Lin Su said unconsciously. Wu Li turned his head to meet Lin Su's eyes.

He knew what to send - Lin Su's talent had awakened.

"I can't save you, that's your gift—being able to feel the heart of the person you see." Wu Li's indifferent voice seemed to be about to draw a line with Lin Su.

He was actually very scared that his heart would be exposed to others again. So he used words to disguise himself as extremely strong.

"......" Lin Su's heartbeat continued to accelerate, and he could only hear his own heartbeat in his ears.

She closed her eyes and covered her chest with one hand, trying to calm her mind in the simplest way possible.

Gradually, the intense sadness slowly disappeared as Lin Su closed his eyes. At this time, Lin Su probably understood that if he closed his eyes, the talent of not looking at external objects would gradually weaken.

So simply, she didn't plan to open her eyes, just closed her eyes, leaned back against the carriage, and pretended to rest.

"You know, running away is never the best way to go. And when you're facing the sky, are you going to close your eyes too? Wu Li still saw his mind clearly.

"......" Lin Su pretended not to hear.

"I can see what you're thinking, don't forget." Wu Li looked at Lin Su. Lin Su had never felt such sadness and loneliness.

Although she was not in a wealthy family since she was a child, her parents and brothers doted on her very much, and there were many peers in the village, and they often played together.

It was probably the first time she had felt the sadness that came from this kind of pavement. Why is this adult in front of him so sad...... Lin Su slowly opened his eyes, but he didn't want to meet Wu Li's eyes.

It's still that kind of sadness and loneliness, like being abandoned by the world, standing on a cliff, just waiting for a gust of wind to give you the final verdict.

"Witch ...... Your Excellency, Your ...... It's really lonely......" Lin Su resisted the discomfort in her heart and slowly told Wu Li the only words she could say.

"......" Wu Li did not answer.

"You can't help me...... Is it because you can't save yourself......" Lin Su said softly.

Wu Li was stunned, he didn't expect Lin Su to say such a sentence. It was as if something had been gently stirred in my heart, causing a ripple.

“……”

"That'...... Then let's grieve together......" Lin Su didn't know how to deal with this emotion from others, no matter how lively her former nature was, Wu Li's emotions were like a stone pressing down on all her happiness at this moment.

No matter how much he resisted, this sentiment always prevailed. She really couldn't help it. …… The carriage was still advancing, because the soldiers were too ostentatious, and Wu Li only left a few personal guards.

Ahead was Yun'an City, where the people of the Holy Maiden Temple were already waiting there.
