His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 414: Third Level (Three)

Yu Qing Qian was also a little surprised by Third Sword’s invitation. In any case, for them to be willing to lend a helping hand right now proved that they really wanted to befriend her.

“How many more people do you need?” Yu Qing Qian didn’t agree immediately and asked.

Third Sword was startled when he heard her question. He glanced at Che Tong Tong beside her, “The battle formation arranged by the seven of us can only have one extra person join at most. If the amount of people exceeds the limit, big flaws will be revealed.”

He didn’t deceive Yu Qing Qian. Their battle formation could still be maintained if Yu Qing Qian joined, but if Che Tong Tong also joined, there’d be a gap in defence. When the demonic plants jointly attack them, they’d be in danger.

Otherwise, with Che Tong Tong’s status, they wouldn’t mind bringing one more person along if they could find a way.

Yu Qing Qian had already guessed the answer. After all, she could see that having more people in the seven-person battle formation was instead a burden.

“Sorry, I’ll go with my friend, you lot go ahead.”

Che Tong Tong was stunned when she heard Yu Qing Qian’s rejection of Third Sword, feeling an indescribable shock in her heart.

“Xiao Yu, you go with them. I didn’t have much hope for this challenge to begin with, I’m satisfied that I can make it to the third level already.”

Che Tong Tong patted Yu Qing Qian on the shoulder, and gave her an encouraging look, “Just remember to win those bets for me.”

Seeing that Che Tong Tong’s eyes were filled with sincerity and there was no forcefulness at all, Yu Qing Qian knew that this friend was the right friend. Their temperaments were very suitable for each other.

“No need, you and I together.” Yu Qing Qian shook her head and spoke firmly.

Seeing Yu Qing Qian’s firm refusal, Third Sword couldn’t help but think higher of her. He didn’t think it was stupid of her to give up joining his team’s battle formation because of her friends, and instead, he admired her behaviour.

The other six only wanted to befriend Yu Qing Qian because of her great potential at first, but now seeing how loyal she was, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of recognition.

But they were having a hard time dealing with the siege of demonic plants now. They really couldn’t bring the two of them with them, so they could only apologise.

“Be careful you two.” Third Sword said regretfully, then quickly rushed forward with the other six people.

Che Tong Tong sighed, and rolled her eyes at Yu Qing Qian, “How can you be so stubborn, one person passing counts as a person passing, why have the both of us stop here.”

She felt warm but apologetic. If it weren’t for her dragging her down, Yu Qing Qian would’ve been able to join the Seven Swordsmasters and rushed to the top of the mountain.

But after interacting with Yu Qing Qian for so long, she still knew the other’s temperament, and it was difficult to change her decision. Otherwise, she’d prefer Yu Qing Qian to choose to cooperate with the Seven Swordsmasters to pass the level, and at worst she’d just wait until then next challenge.

Yu Qing Qian could tell what Che Tong Tong was thinking at a glance, and reached out gently to knock her on the forehead, “What’re you thinking about? Who said we have to stop here?”

“Do you have an idea?” Although Che Tong Tong’s eyes showed a glimmer of hope, but she was still at a loss.

The both of them were Spirit King cultivation bases. If they were surrounded by a few demonic plants of the same cultivation base, they could still escape, but once they were surrounded by dozens of demonic plants, their lives would be in danger.

But Yu Qing Qian seemed to be able to create unexpected surprises and miracles each time, and she couldn’t resist but feel an inexplicable sense of trust and hope.

Yu Qing Qian winked at Che Tong Tong and said: “Have you forgotten the thing I got during the treasure snatching event in the Underground Palace?”

Only then did Che Tong Tong suddenly realise, her eyes astonishingly bright, “That’s right! Why did I forget that guqin.”
