After the previous incident,
the Princess Royal seemed to have grown up overnight and no longer clamored to return to Qingdu.
She didn't even speak.
Occasionally at night, in the stillness of the night, the Princess Royal would clutch her heavy knapsack, and whether she had a nightmare or not, she would suddenly wake up, curl up in a corner, and sob quietly.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
With Ku Ye Zen Master included, the group of four headed north first and then turned east.
At their closest point to Qingdu, they were a mere three thousand miles away.
The farther north they traveled, the more densely populated the cities became.
From an aerial perspective, the tall city walls, densely packed houses, and lively markets presented a picture of peace and prosperity where the people lived and worked in contentment.
Over these three days, fearing pursuit by villains, the three of them dared not easily settle in the city even at night.
