Having decided to wait for Silver Fairy to emerge from the Nightmare Realm, Chen Lin could only set aside the little girl's matter for now.
What he had not expected was that this wait would last three months!
His initial composure gradually turned to unease, and finally to anxiety.
He was not merely worried about the little girl's doll. He was even more concerned that something might have happened to Silver Fairy in the Nightmare Realm.
He was not the only one worried. Mu Linglong was like an ant on a hot pan, visiting Silver Fairy's seclusion chamber in the City Lord Manor every day to check on her. But before entering seclusion, Silver Fairy had set up layer upon layer of formations. Never mind Golden Core Cultivators-even Nascent Soul Cultivators could not easily break through them.
He Huahai had also visited several times. Although he seemed anxious as well, Chen Lin always felt that his concern was not particularly sincere, though he wondered whether he was imagining it.
As for the other Accepted Disciples, none knew the specifics, so naturally they did not come to visit. After all, a Nascent Soul Cultivator's seclusion was measured in years. Going three months without appearing was perfectly normal.
In the blink of an eye, several more months passed.
Mu Linglong had become utterly frantic, seeking Chen Lin out almost every day to discuss a plan. Chen Lin, on the other hand, had calmed down.
The little girl had not come looking for him after all this time. Presumably, it really was as she had said: she could not casually break through the Nightmare Realm's rules to find him.
Besides, who knew how many years that stone coffin had existed? A wait of six months or a year probably meant little to her.
