「Three days later.」
Ling Chen stayed in Wuchen Courtyard for a few days to rest. After his battle with the assassin from the Shadow Tower, he ended up injured and had also been struck with a poison arrow, requiring several days of careful recuperation.
As for Ling Yin, she didn't need much of his care anymore. He had asked Xiao Muyu to send over two female servant disciples to help take care of Ling Yin, which saved him a lot of trouble.
On the other hand, Xu Ruoyan had already returned to Sky Void Palace alone two days ago. Ling Chen realized that trying to nullify their engagement now was pointless, as it seemed to be unnecessary already.
