.." The village head pointed forward, and I saw from between the trees a patch of glistening..."What is this Water Or swamp" my brother asked, frowning.I took two quick steps forward, walked around an...Stepping back onto the forest land scorched by fire, I always feel that the atmosphere here is different from other places.

Beside the decaying charred wood, occasional new plants sprout.

But the breath of "death" lingered, and even if there were one or two living vines, they couldn't save this place from its all-encompassing shades of black and grey.

At either end of this charred grove of trees lay distinct realms: on one side, the bustling hub of human settlement, and on the other, the shattered remnants of a broken seal.

I followed Mu Wanchen and saw a helicopter hovering in the sky outside the Dharma gate from afar.

This is the strange mechanism that residents talk about.

The hues of the sky and the surrounding scenery had a strange blend.

Like two mirrors pieced together, although the scene is somewhat distorted, it's starting to converge.

I flicked on my phone's flashlight, and the helicopters in the sky started searching for a place to land.

"There's no flat ground here, we have to go outwards." Mu Wanchen said as he naturally reached out his hand toward me.

"You, you stop hugging me all the time and let go! I can walk on my own!"

If Master Yun Fan saw this, he'd say I was feeding dog food again. Mu Wanchen is really too careful.

"No, this place is tangled with roots. What if you fall" Mu Wanchen frowned and said, "I've held you before, why won't you let me hold you now"

"...It's a bit crowded. I feel a little embarrassed." I whispered softly.

He chuckled softly: "Your Highness is now with child, which means I must keep you on my lap every day. I have no choice but to obey. If you don't like being held, then I'll carry you on my back"

"Others will laugh! Won't you be embarrassed carrying me around everywhere"

"Just laugh then." He smirked, picking me up: " ...Let others know that to me, the little princess is like a treasure, one I wouldn't part with. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

Are all the leaders this thick-skinned

His way of hugging was hard to describe. It wasn't like a princess carry, but more like holding a child. He used one hand to support me under my hips, letting me wrap my arms around his neck and shoulders.

I clung to his neck, burying my face in my arm, looking back at the young men following us. Each one of them had their eyes darting around, pretending not to see me and Mu Wanchen.

The helicopter finally found a patch of open ground to land on. It takes a skilled pilot to land on such uneven terrain.

The propeller gradually came to a stop. Master Yunfan and Master Lin stepped out of the cabin, the gusting wind whipping their coats and ties.

If this weren't a remote forest, but the landing pad of a high-end office building, this would be how two top executives arrive for an international conference.

Unfortunately, this place isn't just barren and dangerous, it's also filled with an evil aura. I saw Mr. Lin raise his hand to touch the back of his neck.

He probably felt a chill down his spine too.

“This is worse than I imagined.” Yun Fan’s master frowned. “Just now, from the sky, I saw that all traffic was cut off, landslides everywhere, Big Uncle, what should we do”

Master Yun Fan looked at Young Master Lin.

Miss Lin frowned slightly and said, "What can we do If the transportation is cut off, just use a helicopter."

"The helicopter's carrying capacity is limited," Yun Fan's master shrugged. "How many trips will this take"

"We have to get them here no matter what, nothing can go wrong here. I've arranged for a private helicopter to transport them here, the rest is up to you to get them in." Young Master Lin frowned deeply.

Yun Fan's master raised an eyebrow and said, "Such a big sum"

Miss Lin glanced at Master Yun Fan and pulled him aside, lowering her voice: “Don’t you know There's a secret base not far from here, it's a launch well belonging to a certain military unit. Why is it so close! When I saw the coordinates just now, I was stunned. If there’s any movement here, and it’s detected by the satellite, we absolutely can’t cover it up.”

They spoke in hushed tones, but my hearing could be that of a thief now. Mu Wanchen heard it too. We exchanged glances. It seemed there were "neighbors" outside the door after all. These neighbors weren't to be trifled with.

"What is a launch well" Mu Wanchen whispered to me.

“Ah... It's... a delivery guy, East Wind Express, mission accomplished, boom! You know what I mean Like, super important national stuff.” I made an explosion gesture.

Mu Wanchen frowned, looking at me as if he understood but didn't: "There are military troops"

Massing troops Well, you could say that.

"We're here, and we can explain to the relevant departments that there is a disaster relief mission. But what if something beyond normal appears from the doorway, or a large number of refugees pour out How do we explain that" Young Master Lin said unhappily: "This involves national security, no one can cover it up, nor dare to let it go unchecked. We must immediately evacuate the people inside."

"There are so many people there, nowhere to go! Even Long Xiaoge's place is full." Master Yunfan frowned.

"Yun Fan, it's not that I don't want to help. Building a shelter here is unfeasible. It's only a hundred or two hundred kilometers away from the sensitive area. This proximity would attract close attention from high-ranking military officials, exposing... The best course of action is to evacuate those inside, or repair the so-called gateway and continue living in seclusion." Lin Gongzi said solemnly.

"It's been three years and it hasn't been fixed yet, how could something passed down for thousands of years be repaired in just a few years It's like weaving a net, if you rip a hole in it, can you just say you fixed it This is a calamity, you understand" Master Yunfan scratched his head.

Miss Lin frowned and said, “ ... Let me handle the population count. We'll secretly transfer them to a specific location to build a new village under the nation's surveillance, and then...”

"Then you can only be confined under surveillance Until natural death" Master Yunfan frowned and asked.

Lin Gongzi gazed at Yun Fan, her master, and said in a soft voice, "Yun Fan, there are some things we both understand that are beyond our control. Society has its rules, the country has its laws, and we can only choose between them. You should discuss it with them."

Mu Wanchen said lightly, "No need to discuss it."

I looked at Mu Wanchen in surprise.

Master Yunfan and Young Master Lin also turned their heads and forgot to come over.

"As Mu Yunfan said, this is a tribulation, something beyond human control. I am already grateful for your help and support. As for the path ahead, I must find it myself," he said calmly.

Yunfan, his master, frowned and walked over, whispering to him, "Mu Wanchen, don't act impulsively. This isn't a trivial matter. Your burden is too heavy. There are so many people here. How can you manage and settle them How do you repair the Dharma gate And there's that formation not far away—"

"I'll figure something out." Mu Wanchen lowered his eyes slightly, concealing his emotions.

Yun Fan's master was stunned, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

I turned to Master Yunfan and said, "Master Yunfan, how about this You coordinate the materials first. Once we have our food and shelter sorted out, everything else will fall into place. And if you need money, I still have some here."

Yun Fan, the master, waved his hand. "Wealth and possessions are all external things. Why would I argue with you about these Alright, I'll go make arrangements. You stay here and think of a solution with Mu Wanchen."

He gave me a slight frown and a look.

Keep a close eye on your husband.

Master Yunfan gave me a look.

I know, I know...

Although Mu Wanchen never showed any impatience, the problems here have gone beyond our control.

Unable to hold onto the Peach Blossom Spring, and unable to enter the outside world.

What can I doldn't conflict with you and mom anymore."Mrs. Yen sighed: "But after that, I never got to see your father and mother again. They never attended class reunions, as if they had vanished... I only just l...
