Looking around the Divine Arrow Mansion, Su Ling found that, during his months away, more than ninety percent of the watchers and noble young ladies waiting for him from the Heaven Dou Empire had disappeared.
In a flash, Su Ling appeared at the mansion gates.
By the time several people hoping to approach him noticed his arrival, they were already too late.
The two guards at the gates immediately bowed when they saw him return. "Greetings, Marquis!"
"No need for ceremony. Thank you for your hard work."
With that, Su Ling tossed a dozen or so Gold Soul Coins to each side as a reward.
The two guards caught the Gold Soul Coins, delighted beyond measure.
"Thank you for your generosity, Marquis!"
Su Ling waved a hand and went straight inside.
"Zhuxin, Zhu Zhuqing, Jiang Zhu, I'm back!" Su Ling called out loudly.
Yet after waiting a while, he received no response.
Was no one home?
Su Ling immediately searched with his spiritual power. Only the mansion's servants remained.
Had they all gone shopping?
Su Ling paid it no further mind and headed straight to his room.
Since none of them were home, Su Ling decided to continue cultivating his soul power. Once he had seen the girls, he would find Ye Lingling and fulfill his promise to her.
He sat cross-legged, but before he had cultivated for even two hours, someone rushed into the mansion.
It was not Zhu Zhuqing or the others, but someone from the Crown Prince's Residence.
"Divine Arrow Marquis! Marquis, His Highness the Crown Prince has urgent business!"
Su Ling opened the door. He recognized the visitor as one of Qian Renxue's guards, Yan Shuang, a level 63 Soul Emperor.
"What is it?" Su Ling asked.
"Please read this, Marquis!"
A note was handed over.
