Originally, Dao Lin wanted to leave directly, but he was forcibly left behind by Ye Ye Zhi, on the grounds that he was not proficient in the exercises.

"Old Yetou, I don't have a lot of time." Dowling frowned.

"At your current absorption rate, do you think the Emperor will give you a chance?" Ye Zhizhi said expressionlessly.

Dowling was silent, he knew that what Ye Buyi said was right, with the time he was now absorbing the full soul bottle, the emperor could easily kill him.

"So if you're just in this state, there's no difference between learning this technique and not learning it, you can't absorb these souls before you go, this kind of temporary absorption is time-sensitive." Ye Buzhi spoke again.

Dowling counted the time in silence, and he still had about twenty-one days left for the rest of the time he had on the way.

"Have you figured it out yourself? There should still be time, you can consolidate it for a while, at least make sure that you can absorb these souls during the conversation."

In the following time, Dao Lin cultivated in the Soul Locking Talisman Array during the day, and went out to cook in the evening, and he and Ye Buyi ate delicious food and drank good wine every day.

The time for him to absorb the soul of the dead has increased from the initial hundred breaths to seventy or eighty breaths, and then to fifty or sixty breaths later, and the effect of the improvement is still obvious.

…………………………

In the Imperial City of Zhongdu, all the people who were expecting Dao Lin to come were disappointed, they had been waiting, from the New Year to the present, they had never given up, but today is the seventh day of the second lunar month, and there is still no news of Dao Lin, and it will be too late if they don't come.

The engagement ceremony was held as scheduled, and in the imperial city of Zhongdu, the streets of all sizes were lit up with lights, and the red lanterns and colored paper set off the grand occasion of the marriage of the two empires, and the people who did not know the truth blessed the young princess from the bottom of their hearts.

In the Duke's Palace, Qianxue sat on the bed, her heart was very anxious at this time, if Dowling didn't show up again, she would be engaged to someone else.

"Young princess, please drink some porridge, this is the lotus seed lily and red date porridge cooked for you in the kitchen, you can calm down after drinking it." The maid respectfully placed the porcelain bowl on the table and said.

"Take it down, I don't have an appetite." Qianxue shook her head lightly and said.

"Young princess, do you want to taste it? Maybe it would be better?" The maid said worriedly.

Qianxue sighed, she got up and walked to the table, looked at the bowl of porcelain bowls on the table, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, she only feels more hot and upset.

She shook her head again and said she really couldn't eat it.

"If you are afraid of being scolded, you will drink the porridge in a while, and then say that I have already drunk it, so that no one will scold you." Qianxue said softly.

"I'm not afraid of being scolded, I'm afraid that the princess is sick." The maid said with concern.

Qianxue grabbed the maid's hand and shook her head, then handed her the porcelain bowl.

"Drink, I don't have an appetite, and I'm not hungry." Qianxue said.

The maid could not resist her, so she had to raise her head and drink the porridge, and then wiped her mouth clean.

"Alright, you go down first." Qianxue said with a smile.

The maid saluted and departed with her plate and empty bowl.

Watching the maid leave, the smile on Qianxue's face disappeared again, and she slowly walked to the door, the sky outside was clear, the warm winter sun shone on the earth, the temperature was suitable, and it was not cold, but her heart was like falling into an ice cellar

….

"Dowling, where the hell are you?" Qianxue muttered.

Originally, she was still confidently waiting for Dowling to pick her up, but as the engagement ceremony got closer and closer, Dowling did not show up.

There was a dense sound of footsteps in the distance, Qianxue's eyes looked over, she saw Taishi Xingwei, and Shijue, her eyes were instantly full of hope, was he coming?

Her gaze swept through the crowd, but she didn't see him in her heart after looking around, and her hopeful gaze suddenly disappeared.

"Master..." Qianxue ran over, she hadn't seen her for too long, and she had a lot to talk about.

"Chiyuki... Your face

It's a little bit not good..."Taishi Xingwei touched Qianxue's head and said.

Everyone else also gathered around, Mo Shishi and Bai Ying hugged Qianxue, and the three girls talked about the past.

After coming for a long time, Qianxue asked, "What about him? Didn't I come with you?"

Of course they knew who Qianxue was talking about, Taishi Xingwei said softly: "He asked us to set off first, he said that he was going to find the ancestor of your family, so we separated, but with his current strength, it is easy to rush over, and there must be something delayed before he arrives, don't worry, he will definitely come."

Hearing that Dao Lin was going to find Chu Tianlu, Chu Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief, she also knew that Dao Lin was not a reckless person, especially in such a big matter.

While breathing a sigh of relief, her heart became worried again, how could it take so long to find the Chu Tian Road, could it be that she had encountered some danger?

"This time, we're out and about, and there are a few people who have already settled in the city, and they're coming in the name of your friends and family." Taishi Xingwei said with a smile.

"Then stay with me, and I'll find someone to arrange a place for you!" Qianxue said softly.

Taishi Xingwei shook his head and said, "We came here to tell you not to worry, we are already here, as for where to stay, I think we had better leave, we have to go and discuss countermeasures with others."

Qianxue wanted to speak and stopped, how she wished that her former master and friends could be by her side when she was most sad.

Taishi Xingwei looked at Qianxue's pitiful expression, reached out and touched her head and said, "Let Shishi and Bai Sakura accompany you."

After hearing this, Qianxue smiled, and grabbed the two girls one by one and didn't let go.

After resting for a while, Taishi Xingwei left with the others, and what they didn't notice was that on a tree next to them, there was a small bird staring at them, and that little bird had eyes as red as agate.

As Taishi Xingwei and them left, the little bird followed closely behind them, and when they left the Duke's Palace, the little bird flew into the sky, and it looked down on Taishi Xingwei and them in the sky.

"Master, there's a guy in the sky following us." Su Chen and Xiaopang walked to Taishi Xingwei and said.

"Yes, you're pretty alert, I thought you didn't find out." Taishi Xingwei nodded and said.

"The master has already found out?" Su Chen asked in a daze.

"When I was in Qianxue's yard, I noticed it, in the middle of winter, just after the New Year, where will there be birds, this stalker doesn't even have this bit of common sense, it's also weird and funny." Taishi Xingwei said with a smile.

"Do you need to *** off it?" Xiao Fat touched the ring on his right hand with his left hand as he spoke, and it seemed that Taishi Xingwei would directly take out the bow and arrow as soon as he gave an order.

"Let it follow, it will follow, we won't spy on Qianxue if it follows."
