"Aren't the eyes and eyebrows so similar to the ones in the announcement?" shouted one of the men who was also standing in the crowd. One of his hands pointed at Fu Xie Lan who was wearing a mask.
Everyone's reflex turned towards Fu Xie Lan.
"Right," some of the people there answered.
Of course, Fu Xie Lan immediately realized that they were referring to her.
Gu Yi who heard this became furious, if he didn't get his wife out of this place soon it might be very dangerous.
But when he wanted to move, a small pinch that came from Fu Xie Lan was felt on his arm causing Gu Yi to immediately turn to Fu Xie Lan.
The girl looks very relaxed for the size of someone who gets blamed by many people. His wife should have looked panicked and scared, but what she saw was an expression so calm, as if what those people said had nothing to do with her.
"What if we take off her mask, I'm pretty sure that the person in the announcement is here," someone shouted.
One of the guards who finished posting the announcement turned his head and his gaze immediately turned to Fu Xie Lan.
Without waiting long, the guard moved towards Fu Xie Lan with a probing gaze. Wan Lie who saw his father did not move an inch when the guard approached his mother made him angry, he immediately broke through the crowd and approached his parents.
But when he had just reached his mother, the guard's footsteps stopped.
A clattering sound like an object colliding caught everyone's attention.
Fu Xie Lan who was right in front of him suddenly bowed.
The girl's hand moved to grab a white jade that had fallen and slightly rolled onto the cobblestone street where she was standing. Yes, it is the white jade who gatekeeper gave her fell.
Behind the hood, Gu Yi chuckled at his wife's attitude. Very clever.
"Isn't that the permission jade to enter Kanca City?"
"Ah, I've been thinking about it."
"Hey, don't just accuse, the guards can't give her permission to enter without checking her first, Hah, it's just a waste of time," said another annoyed and left the crowd.
The grumble is heard again.
Fu Xie Lan's white jade stopped rolling right beside the guard. The flat-shaped object was then grabbed and returned to its owner.
"Take good care of this thing, Master," said the guard handing the white jade to Fu Xie Lan.
Fu Xie Lan didn't answer and just nodded in acceptance of the thing. There was no sound or expression whatsoever from her eyes.
"Then excuse me," said the guard farewell.
Currently, only the three of them remained, while the crowd had dispersed and returned to their respective activities.
Wan Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xie Lan, did you drop the jade on purpose?" Wan Lie whispered approaching. Suddenly the young man was a little curious.
Fu Xie Lan just turned to Wan Lie without any intention of answering, her hands busy stuffing the jade into her robe pocket.
Not getting any response from his mother, the young man put on a sullen face.
"Let's go." A man suddenly covered the extremely close distance between Fu Xie Lan and Wan Lie. The man was Gu Yi, he embraced Fu Xie Lan's body by side and took her away.
But they only took one step, Fu Xie Lan stopped, she let go of Gu Yi's hand that was wrapped around her shoulder.
"I told you do not touch me without permission," she snapped and then left.
Gu Yi who received such treatment again chuckled.
The three of them walked back, leaving the location where the bulletin board was.
Entering the afternoon, the sun was scorching hot. The city is getting busier, even in some places people can be seen jostling each other.
Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi walked side by side, while Wan Lie walked behind them.
They walked by the side of the road, looking at the displays of the merchants they passed.
Wan Lie watched every merchant he passed, all wearing their identification robes. Some people were wearing robes that looked very luxurious and some people were wearing robes that had faded color.
The average has a rather large shop with different merchandise.
Walking further, now they were in a less crowded place like before.
But something caught Wan Lie's attention, An extremely old woman without wearing any robe was sitting in front of a rotting wooden table, peddling her wares. Don't have a shop like other merchants. Judging from his current position, it seems that the grandmother is selling books.
Wan Lie couldn't help but feel strange when he is seeing that. Isn't everyone in this City wearing an identification robe? So what happened to Grandma?
The residents passing by in front of her looked normal as if they didn't consider the grandmother's existence.
Without Wan Lie noticing, he stepped closer to the old woman. The young man was curious about the old woman's merchandise.
"Wan Li, where are you going?" a voice made him turn his head, it was his mother. it turned out that currently, Fu Xie Lan was already across a different road from him.
"Noelle is over there," the girl said again pointing to a large sign that said Noele which was a little bit far from the intersection. A different direction from his current position.
"Okay, wait for me," he said then followed his mother.
While on the other hand, without anyone noticing, the granny that Wan Lie had previously seen smiled wryly with a harsh sigh.
"Hmmm, that's too bad," she said with her head slightly looked up at a little girl who had walked away from her, it appeared on her shoulder there was a small white furry animal which was also looking at her at that time.

.
Standing in front of a two-story building, once again Fu Xie Lan looked up to confirm that the building in front of her right now was Noelle.
Not too crowded, only seen occasionally people in different robes enter the building. Fu Xie Lan also didn't know what was inside.
Before stepping in, the girl activated the power of her eyes, the first thing she saw was a room that wasn't too big. Inside were several races enjoying some dishes on the table. Just like a restaurant in her previous life.
Don't forget, Beings other than the human race, even though they never feel hungry and thirsty, but still want to eat certain types of food for the reason that they just want to eat it.
Fu Xie Lan stood still, looking to think about some things.
Did that Elder intentionally send her to Noelle because of her human body?
"Gentlemen, please come in," a voice interrupted Fu Xie Lan's thoughts.
