His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 276: Who Said We Don’t Want it?

Yu Qing Qian was relieved when she heard her Master’s words. It wasn’t too late for her to go out now. Fortunately, the previous mission only took a bit more than twenty days, otherwise it’d really be too late.

“Master, then I’ll go out first. Then we’ll go kill some magical beasts on Shui Wu Island before returning.” Yu Qing Qian knew that if they went back now, it’d be impossible to re-enter the centre of the island anymore.

Gu Yan drank the tea indifferently: “I don’t care, either way, I can’t leave anyways. But the small pagoda’s stored in the space inside your body now and I can see more of the outside world through you.”

Hearing the carefree and easy-going tone of her Master’s, Yu Qing Qian felt a sour feeling in her heart.

Master was deeply longing for the outside world and freedom in his heart. She was thinking that she must find the other two pagodas in the future, refine them, and release Master.

Yu Qing Qian refined the first floor of the small pagoda. Although she wasn’t considered the owner of the small pagoda yet, but she had gained the right to enter and exit it freely.

With a thought, and Gu Yan didn’t use any heart energy to stop it either, Yu Qing Qian’s figure wavered, then appeared behind the boulder that she had teleported in from before.

After looking around, Yu Qing Qian found that there wasn’t anything strange. She asked her Master the direction of the magical beasts and hurried over.

A few days later, on Shui Wu Island, all the people who were still alive from the five Royal Academies were gathered together one by one.

The Southern Royal Academy won first place, but there was no smile on anyone’s faces, and instead, they looked extremely haggard.

However, everyone knew that they were still worried about Yu Qing Qian’s disappearance. Right now, many people had long believed that Yu Qing Qian had died in the centre of the island, and they couldn’t help but feel some pity.

Neither Elder Gu of the Holy Academy, nor the cold, tough-looking man could delay any longer, so they showed up to prepare to end the comprehensive test of the five Royal Academies.

“I declare that the three-month comprehensive test has ended as of today. Many of you have made great progress, which shows that this experience for you has not been in vain.”

The cold-looking man didn’t like to talk, so Elder Gu presided over it, “There was only one first place in this comprehensive test, and it was won by group nine of the Southern Royal Academy.

“After the comprehensive test, we have also discovered many talents among you all. This time, the freshmen will also compete with the old students in three individual competitions, namely Forging, Plant Inscriptions, and Potions. The time will be three days later, also on Shui Wu Island.”

After speaking, Elder Gu looked at the listless Huo Li Ruo and the others and sighed inwardly, straightened his expression, and said: “Now group nine from the Southern Royal Academy can come up and receive your rewards.”

No one from the team came forward. Compared to Yu Qian Qian’s life, first place had lost its meaning to them.

Huo Li Ruo stood up and said: “Our captain has not yet returned to the team yet, so we will not receive this reward.”

There were gasps below. Many people felt that Huo Li Ruo’s team was too obstinate and stupid.

Yu Qing Qian might’ve long died in the centre of the island. If she didn’t return, then would they all give up the test rewards?

Elder Gu was stunned for a moment, then comforted: “I know how you feel, but this is the reward you deserve, and Yu Qing Qian’s share will not be any less either. You can keep it until she comes out, then give it to her.”

“If she doesn’t come back, we won’t receive the reward.” Huo Li Ruo insisted, and the other teammates also agreed.

The cold, tough man furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice: “You mean you don’t want this reward anymore? The rewards from the Holy Academy and Imperial Academy are time-limited and will not be processed afterwards.”

This wasn’t a threat, but there really was this rule. He spoke also to remind Huo Li Ruo and the others not to be too obstinate and miss this opportunity.

Huo Li Ruo nine had firm gazes and shook their heads together to express their determination.

Elder Gu and the cold-looking man looked at each other and were also very speechless. They had never seen such a situation before. The people below were also very touched, but mostly felt that they were stupid.

Just when the cold, tough man wanted to declare the reward invalid, a clear female’s voice suddenly sounded.

“Who said we don’t want it?”
