Lin Chen looked at the girls, his face apologetic: "I know you've all sacrificed so much, but I can't let you risk your lives."
The four girls exchanged glances before Li Moyu finally spoke: "Lin Chen, I know you have our best interests at heart. Winning this championship is our dream, but I don't care much for what rewards we could get. I'm willing to step back."
Jiang Qian and Gao Qi also nodded in agreement. They trusted that Lin Chen wasn't someone who would abandon them after crossing the river. If he chose to keep them out of the secret realm, there must be a special reason—it was for their own good.
Seeing everyone agree to withdraw, Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction.
"I don't agree!" At that moment, An Xiaodi gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Xiaodi, don't be stubborn. If I could bring you along, I definitely would, but this expedition to the secret realm is too dangerous. I can't let you take the risk," Lin Chen said seriously.
