Chapter 115 How could his son become Lin Ruoli’s puppet?
The old man's eyes swept over everyone and suddenly he laughed out loud.
"Although you are young, you are obviously prepared. If that's the case, then go ahead!"
He had just finished speaking when three stone slabs on the ground suddenly opened slowly, revealing three pitch-black holes.
"Alright, go ahead! Remember, you only have two hours. If two hours pass and no one comes out, we'll send someone in to look for you and check on you."
"However, this also means that no one wins this competition."
"I've said everything I need to say, you can go now."
Yu Youning stopped staring at the old man. After retracting his gaze, he was the first to walk towards the cave entrance.
"Youning!" Chu Huaixu hurriedly spoke to stop her, "Wait a minute..."
Yu Youning looked at Chu Huaixu strangely, "What are you waiting for? Waiting to lose? I don't want to lose."
After saying that, without waiting for Chu Huaixu to answer, he walked towards the underground palace.
"Youning, wait for me!"
Huo Qingchen said this and hurriedly trotted after him.
Chu Huaixu also quickened his pace.
Lin Ruoli watched the three people disappear from view, her eyes darkened, and then she slowly followed them.
Zhai Heming followed Lin Ruoli closely.
If she left, he would leave too.
If she stopped, he would stop too.
The way the two of them act doesn't give the impression that they have a good relationship. Instead, it makes people feel that Zhai Heming is like Lin Ruoli's puppet.
When this thought came to Marquis Chengyi's mind, he felt it was extremely absurd.
How could his good son become Lin Ruoli's puppet?
What if Lin Ruoli had this ability?
Thinking of this, Marquis Chengyi calmed down again. He felt that he was too nervous and hated Lin Ruoli too much, which was why he had such thoughts just now.
They sat on the platform and looked towards the underground palace, but they could not see anything.
Time is passing by little by little, but it is going by so slowly.
At this moment, I wonder how many people feel that the days are passing by so slowly.
But at the same time, the situation for people who entered the underground palace was completely different from that outside.
The lighting in the underground palace was not very good, and there was an indescribable smell in the air.
"What's that smell!" Huo Qingchen said with disgust.
"It seems like... the smell of something rotten." Yu Youning said.
While speaking, Yu Youning did not stop and walked forward along the passage.
There are wall lamps on the walls on both sides of the passage. Although the light is dim, it is no problem to see the road under your feet clearly.
Chu Huaixu quickened his pace and finally caught up with Yu Youning.
He did not walk side by side with Yu Youning, but pulled Huo Qingchen one step behind and walked side by side behind Yu Youning.
The passage was not wide to begin with, and with the two of them blocking the way, it completely cut off Lin Ruoli's possibility of contacting Yu Youning.
After Lin Ruo realized this, his eyes became even more fierce.
Could it be that in the Crown Prince's heart, she is really that bad?
So much so that even at this dangerous moment, the Crown Prince had to be concerned about Yu Youning's safety all the time.
What's so good about Yu Youning?
Yu Youning, who was walking in front, didn't pay any attention to the situation behind him.
She walked forward in small steps, and finally reached the end of the passage and came to a stone chamber.
The stone chamber was square, yet empty, except for a large stone placed on the ground in the middle, with a sword stuck in the stone.
The sword looks ancient and weathered, but there is no rust on it. You can tell at a glance that it is a good sword.
As soon as Huo Qingchen saw the sword, he couldn't wait to walk forward and touch the sword.
"Wow!"
Huo Qingchen exclaimed in amazement, "This sword looks great! Can I take it away?"
Chu Huaixu was about to speak when he heard Yu Youning's baby voice say, "If you can take it out, just take it with you! After you get out, if someone asks you for it, you can just return it to them, right?"
The implication is that once you get out, if no one wants it, you won’t return it.
Although it sounds like this, there is nothing wrong with what he said.
But Chu Huaixu still felt something strange in his heart.
Huo Qingchen obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with this proposal. He nodded in agreement, "Youning, you're smart. Just do it!"
As he spoke, he began to get ready.
"Everyone, stand back. I'm going to draw my sword!"
Chu Huaixu pulled Yu Youning back a step.
Huo Qingchen took a deep breath and gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, "Ah!"
He hadn't used any strength yet, but he started roaring.
The stone chamber was originally empty, and his shout was filled with echoes, making people's heads buzz.
Yu Youning covered his ears with his hands, "Stop shouting! Draw your sword quickly!"
Huo Qingchen turned his head and smiled at Yu Youning sheepishly, "Pull it out right away! Pull it out right away!"
When he looked at the sword again, Huo Qingchen's expression had become completely serious.
He frowned and put force into his hands.
But as he increased his strength, even using all his might, the sword remained stuck inside without moving.
Lin Ruoli had been watching with a frown on her face. After seeing this scene, she chuckled, "Since you can't pull it out, don't waste your energy. Let's think about how to leave here and keep moving forward!"
Huo Qingchen had no good feelings towards Lin Ruoli to begin with, and he became even angrier when he heard what Lin Ruoli said.
"Just go ahead! Don't delay me from drawing my sword! I didn't ask you to stay with me."
It’s enough for him to have Youning by his side!
After a pause, Huo Qingchen silently added in his heart: It would be fine to have one more prince!
Lin Ruoli was ruthlessly scolded by Huo Qingchen, and was extremely angry, but because Chu Huaixu was here, she couldn't lose her temper directly and could only swallow it.
After taking several deep breaths, Lin Ruoli finally calmed down and spoke softly, "Your Highness, time is running out. Let's find a way to get out of here!"
Chu Huaixu glanced at Lin Ruoli calmly and said, "I've already said it before, if you want to find it, just go find it yourself."
Being ruthlessly rejected by Chu Huaixu, Lin Ruoli felt depressed and aggrieved, and tears almost fell.
But thinking about what she had to do today, Lin Ruoli took a deep breath and spoke again in a relaxed manner.
"Okay, then I'll look for it with Prince Zhai."
Zhai Heming seemed to have no brains at all. He just did whatever Lin Ruoli asked him to do.
The stone chamber was not big to begin with, and there was nothing blocking the way, so the two of them searched very quickly.
I just looked around and found nothing.
Huo Qingchen had tried several times in a row, and each time he was exhausted and sweating, but he still couldn't pull out the sword.
Even the sword didn't move at all!
Huo Qingchen didn't believe it and bit his cheek, "I just don't believe it, I can't pull it out!"
After saying that, he tried to draw his sword again.
The long sword, which had not moved no matter how hard he tried before, was pulled out easily this time.
Huo Qingchen was so excited that he almost shed tears. He turned around and talked to Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu first.
But when he turned around, he was surprised to find that Yu Youning had walked to his side without him knowing when, and her hand was even pinching his sleeve.
Even though he didn't dare to believe it, Huo Qingchen had to believe it.
"Youning, I was able to pull out this sword because of your help."
It's not a question, it's just a simple statement.
Yu Youning waved his hand, "You're welcome! It's just a small favor!"
Huo Qingchen, "..."
I hold the sword in my arms, but my heart feels even worse. What should I do?
He couldn't pull it out no matter what he did, but Youning just gave him a gentle push and pulled the sword out...
Huo Qingchen was still feeling emotional when he heard Chu Huaixu's voice.
"Huo Qingchen, come here, take that sword, and cut this chain."
Huo Qingchen walked over with the sword in his arms. He looked at the chain Chu Huaixu was pointing at and felt strange. "Why are you cutting it?"
"You can chop it if I tell you to."
As Chu Huaixu spoke, his expression became extremely serious and his aura changed.
Huo Qingchen didn't dare to say anything else and quickly grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands.
When he tried to draw the sword before, he couldn't pull it out no matter what he did. He thought the sword was particularly heavy.
But after I pulled it out, it wasn't that heavy anymore.
Huo Qingchen took a deep breath and swung his sword towards the chain.
"Duang."
A crisp sound rang out in the room, and the chain broke.
As the iron chain broke, the heavy stone door slowly rose, revealing a new passage.
When Huo Qingchen saw this, he became very excited.
"Wow!"
"I found the exit!"
"Did you pass the first level?"
"I'm so awesome! When I get out, I'm going to have a good talk with Big Brother!"
Huo Qingchen jumped up and down with excitement.
Yu Youning gave Huo Qingchen a thumbs up, "Huo Qingchen, you are awesome!"
Chu Huai Preface, "..."
If Yu Youning hadn't helped pull out the sword, how would Huo Qingchen have had the chance to cut the chain?
However, since neither of them cared who successfully passed the level, he didn't say much.
Without wasting any more time, they walked forward along the passage.
Continuing to walk forward along the passage, I saw some plants growing on the walls on both sides of the passage.
How can there be plants in such a dark underground?
Yu Youning reached out and touched it, then leaned in to smell it.
“It’s poisonous!”
Huo Qingchen was about to reach out to touch it, but he withdrew his hand instantly after hearing the words and hugged the sword tightly in his hand, "Youning, don't scare me!"
"I didn't scare you!" Yu Youning shook his head slowly, "It's just poisonous!"
Chu Huaixu's expression also became nervous. "Youning, are these plants very poisonous? Do you have any antidote pills with you?"
Yu Youning shook his head, "I didn't bring it."
She didn't know that the competition was like this!
Lin Ruoli, who had been silent the whole time, slowly curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, Your Highness. If this test is about poison, then leave it to me!"
Chu Huaixu frowned and asked, "When did you learn about poison?"
