His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 214: Know One’s Limitations

After the group divided the Seven-Coloured Sacred Tree wood, Leng Ling Shuang kept looking towards the depths of the Seven-Coloured Sacred Tree woods.

Yu Qing Qian knew through the book and the communication through the Seven-Coloured Sacred Tree that there were other things behind the woods, but for them right now, it was too dangerous, and anyone who entered would basically die.

One could have an adventure within their ability, but if they risked their life completely, then there was no need.

“Cousin, do we want to go deeper into the ancient tomb for a look?” Leng Ling Shuang looked at Chi Mo Ran and asked.

She once heard that the Xie Clan not only found the Seven-Coloured Sacred Tree in the ancient tomb, but also found a precious secret book for refining inscription beasts, as well as some treasures that the Xie Clan hadn’t leaked.

However, the Xie Clan lost a lot of people when they went deep into the ancient tomb, so she didn’t dare to be careless or dare to go alone.

Chi Mo Ran had made a contract with a special spiritual plant, and his prediction of danger was very accurate. The message conveyed to him by the spiritual plant was that the place ahead was too dangerous. Unless he was a Spirit Emperor, then he would definitely die.

“No, that’s not something we can handle with our strength.”

Leng Ling Shuang couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed when she heard Chi Mo Ran’s words, but she didn’t raise any objections.

Yue Yun Yang and the others also looked at Feng Chen and Yu Qing Qian, and the questioning meaning behind it was clear, but they weren’t blindly dazzled by the invisible treasure.

Feng Chen shook his head: “That’s not a place we can enter deeply.”

Yu Qing Qian also said: “We can hand in this mission when we return. Let the people who issued the task worry about the depths of the ancient tomb.”

Their main mission in coming to the ancient tomb was to explore. Obtaining the classic on refining inscription beasts and the Seven-Coloured Sacred Tree wood was already an unexpected gain. She had always kept in mind the principle that ‘a man whose heart was not content was like a snake which tried to swallow an elephant¹’. 

There were still things that advanced-level powerhouses could look for in the depths of the ancient tomb, and they could successfully hand in the mission after returning.

Most importantly was that the things involved deep in the ancient tomb would probably cause many large forces and clans to send powerhouses to explore. People should all know one’s limitations, and they didn’t need to be cannon fodder.

“In that case, let’s return.” Huo Li Ruo also agreed.

The depths constantly gave him an inexplicable sense of danger. Feng Chen and Yu Qing Qian even both decided not to go, which meant that they didn’t have the strength to go, otherwise Yu Qing Qian wouldn’t give up with her temperament.

The group didn’t delay any longer and left the ancient tomb together.

Chi Mo Ran and his party needed to report the news deep in the ancient tomb to the Chi Clan, while Feng Chen and the others also needed to return to hand in the mission, so they separated after leaving the barren mountain.

Chi Mo Ran secretly gave Yu Qing Qian a letter talisman, so that they could send messages to each other through secret channels.

Yu Qing Qian and the others had to pass by Qing Qiu City when they returned to the Academy. As soon as they entered the city, they were invited by the Lord of Qing Qiu City.

After being a guest in Qing Qiu City for a few days, Yu Qing Qian also received a token from Lu Zhan. If anything happened in the future, she could use this token to find him.

After returning to the Academy, the group first went to the Academy’s mission office to inform them of the news discovered in the ancient tomb.

Among them, Feng Chen asked Yu Qing Qian to conceal the matter about the inscription beast classic, but he reported the matter of obtaining the Seven-Coloured Sacred Tree’s wood to the Academy.

Although the Seven-Coloured Sacred Tree was precious, but the Royal Academy wouldn’t ask the students for it, and would honour the rewards for completing the mission one by one. Yu Qing Qian also successfully obtained the Serpent Ring Herb.

After leaving the mission office, Feng Chen looked at Yu Qing Qian and asked: “Are you going back to Da Yan Kingdom soon?”

“Mm, I’m going to ask for leave tomorrow and return home to give the Serpent Ring Herb to daddy to cure his poison.” Yu Qing Qian nodded.

Each year, the Academy allowed students to take one leave of absence.

She thought about it, then asked instead: “Are you going to return to Feng Li Kingdom?”

The things deep in the ancient tomb should be able to attract the Feng Li Royal Family, and Feng Chen should be able to pass on the news to the top and get involved.
