Chapter 67: Returning Home, The Bloodstained Pouch

Royal City, at the residence of the Earl.

At this moment, only a day and a half remained until the graduation exam.

Suo Ningbing had not slept for three whole days, sitting behind the door of the Earl's residence waiting. The moment Lanling returned, she would see him first.

Her body was frail, and at this time she was even thinner than a withering flower, so haggard that a gust of wind could blow her over.

The servants of the Earl's residence had advised her numerous times, but she was unwilling to go back. Whenever food was brought to her, she only drank a few sips of porridge.

Each time the sound of horse hooves echoed from outside the gate, she would stand up in alarm, yet each time ended in disappointment.

Her heart grew more and more fearful, more and more anxious, and then she prayed to the heavens incessantly for Lanling's safety.

Another day passed, and less than a day remained until the graduation exam.
