Geez!

Gu Xixi let out a soft scream.

Her body was falling continuously, and bizarre scenes appeared around her. Some scenes were unfamiliar, while others looked familiar to Gu Xixi.

As she was wondering what was going on, a blinding white light suddenly appeared before her eyes. When she opened her eyes after the light, she found herself standing on a forest road.

The sun was shining brightly, and the road was wide, but one could faintly hear sobbing from many people, as well as the sound of carriage wheels rolling over the road.

There was also the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of calling for their horses.

[Brother Tongzi, Shen Qingyan, are you there?]

Gu Xixi called out, but after waiting for a long time, she received no response. Could it be that the system had gotten lost from her?

The sounds of horses' hooves and carriage wheels creaked closer. She turned around and saw a neat procession approaching in the distance. The person at the head of the procession was wearing an official's uniform, and behind him were soldiers.

In the middle of the procession was a prison cart, and sitting on it was a man in blue robes. The man's back was straight and proud, like a bamboo grove on a cliff.

Gu Xixi was especially familiar with his figure.

She quickly retreated to the side of the road, only to find that the group of people didn't even glance at her.

Is this what they call being arrogant and disdainful of others?

Gu Xixi was about to ask for directions when she saw the person sitting in the prison van clearly as the procession approached. It was Shen Qingyan!

He sat upright in the prison cart, with a large package in front of him, which he held tightly, revealing the vague shapes of the contents inside.

She looked up and saw that the official flag that had been lowered in the procession had a large character "煌" written on it.

Gu Xixi: !!

Has she returned to the Great Huang Dynasty?

But Shen Qingyan is dead... How could the tracking device have sent her back here?

The group was less than a meter away from her when Gu Xixi stepped forward. "Gentlemen, I am just passing by and don't know the way. Could you please tell me how to get to the city?"

After she finished speaking, she observed the expressions of the crowd, but they seemed not to have heard her and still ignored her.

Gu Xixi raised her hand and waved it in front of the soldiers, but they still didn't react. They couldn't see her!

Realizing this, Gu Xixi was slightly horrified. She walked towards the prison van, while Shen Qingyan's face remained expressionless. She waved her hand, "Shen Qingyan, Shen Qingyan? Can you see me?"

Shen Qingyan didn't react at all, just staring ahead. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and turned to look in Gu Xixi's direction. Gu Xixi met his gaze.

The next second, Shen Qingyan shook his head and looked ahead again.

No one could see her.

Gu Xixi simply jumped to the side of the prison cart, sat down on the other side of the officer driving the horse, and then called out again: "Brother Tongzi, where are you? Brother, didn't you say you'd always be behind me? Where are you?"

Three minutes passed, and there was still no response.

She had to figure it out herself. This cauldron was both reliable and unreliable, but given the previous experience with the system's reward effects, she met 17-year-old Shen Qingyan... and could now easily accept it all.

So what is the significance of her coming here this time?

In the Great Huang Dynasty, Shen Qingyan was being transported in a prison cart... This was the first time she had traveled through time with a supermarket, and she encountered Shen Qingyan, who had just escaped from the capital... So it's very likely that he's being escorted back to the capital right now.

As for the sobbing and the occasional heads peeking out from hiding... they are the people of Xilan County!

Gu Xixi changed her position and sat cross-legged facing Shen Qingyan, looking at his face: thin and stubborn, with a look of fearlessness in the face of death.

"Let's rest here for a quarter of an hour, have lunch, and then continue our journey." At the order of the leading official, the entire group stopped, began to rest, and ate their rations.

Several soldiers gathered together, munching on their pancakes, their displeased gazes fixed on Shen Qingyan.

“Our Lord Shen is truly remarkable. If it weren’t for him, we brothers wouldn’t be eating such dry, hard biscuits on the road. He has integrity, while we would be suffering from stomach problems.”

"There are so many officials in the world, but he's the one who loves to show off. And that Chen Yanxu, I heard he still refuses to confess, otherwise that kid would be dead already."

"Lord Shen, you only brought steamed buns. Are you thirsty? We have some water here, would you like some?"

……

A soldier walked up to the prison cart, carrying a bowl of water. The soldier's eyes were fierce and disdainful. He spat into the bowl and handed it to Shen Qingyan.

Shen Qingyan simply stared at him without responding. "Before I was questioned, I was still an official of the imperial court. How could a mere soldier like you humiliate me!"

If it weren't for his teacher's safety... he would have grabbed the grenade from his bundle...

"Ah, yes, yes, Lord Shen, you're right. I was wrong. This water is indeed not suitable for drinking. I'll pour it out." The soldier laughed, apologizing as he raised his hand and splashed the water on Shen Qingyan's face.

Shen Qingyan dodged to the side, but water still splashed onto his robes, making him feel disgusted. Gu Xixi's fist hardened.

This group of people were just doing their job of escorting prisoners, so why is the blame being placed on Shen Qingyan?

Furthermore, everyone in the world knows that Shen Qingyan is a good official, yet they have humiliated him like this...

"Oh dear, my hand slipped. Lord Shen loves his people like his own children, so he surely won't hold it against me."

"How could Lord Shen hold a grudge against you? Everyone in the world knows that Lord Shen is the most honest and upright person, and he is a true benefactor to the people. Your hand slipped, let me feed Lord Shen."

"Me too, me too! We are all people who love Lord Shen, tui!"

……

Several soldiers spat water into the water and splashed it in Shen Qingyan's face. One could dodge it, but so many... Gu Xixi was furious. They were going too far!

Enraged, she jumped up and slapped six soldiers across the face.

With six crisp slaps, large handprints appeared on the faces of the six soldiers.

The water bottles in their hands also fell to the ground with a thud and shattered!

Gu Xixi looked at her hands in surprise; they were burning with pain. She could touch them, but they just couldn't see her.

The soldiers were stunned. They looked at each other, pondered, puzzled, and looked around nervously...

"Whoever comes out here, what's with all this sneaking around!"

"Someone is trying to break us out of prison!"

"Lord Lu, someone just slapped all six of us, but we couldn't see who it was. I suspect it was someone from the martial arts world using the technique of 'slapping an ox from a distance'."

……

Shen Qingyan frowned, realizing something, his gaze searching...

Gu Xixi's eyes lit up. A prison break?

That's a great idea! Yes, break him out of prison and send Shen Qingyan to get treatment directly. Maybe it's not too late.

As for Chen Yanxu, if she goes to save him... perhaps she can change Shen Qingyan's fate.

Gu Xixi picked up the lightsaber at her waist, cleaved open the prison cart, grabbed Shen Qingyan's wrist, and pulled him out of the cart. She closed her eyes and used her mind to take him away... The next second, the scene changed...

Shen Qingyan disappeared from her hands, and she returned to the road she had come from. The prison van carrying Shen Qingyan was still three meters away from her.
