Chapter 1404: I'll Help You

Just as the Golden Spear Clan Leader and Jinkuang were talking.

Wang Jianqiang, Jiayue, and Biyan'er had already left the Golden Spear Clan without any obstruction.

On this trip, Wang Jianqiang could be considered to have experienced the pleasure of having a powerful backer; he had barely wasted any effort to penetrate deep into the Golden Spear Clan and rescue Biyan'er.

This feeling of being backed by influence was fascinating.

The three of them flew for hundreds of miles in one breath, and after noticing that no one was following them, they stopped.

"Many thanks to Fairy Jiayue for the rescue."

Biyan'er bowed deeply to Jiayue.

"Fairy Bi, you are too polite."

"I came because of Daoist Friend Tianyu; if you want to thank someone, just thank Daoist Friend Tianyu."

Jiayue shook her head faintly.

Hearing Jiayue's words, Biyan'er finally confirmed the guess in her heart.

As early as when the two appeared, she had guessed that Jiayue had come forward to save her because of Tianyu, because there was no friendship at all between her and Jiayue.

However, after the guess in her heart was confirmed, more doubts arose in her mind.

Had Daoist Friend Tianyu not defeated Jiayue in the Treasure Land not long ago, causing her to lose face?

How much time had passed since then?

Not only had the two not become enemies, but they had become friends instead?

Biyan'er's doubts flashed and vanished from her heart.

She looked at Wang Jianqiang, a faint blush appearing on her face, and instead of offering polite thanks as she had to Jiayue, she said softly, "Daoist Friend Tianyu, why did you suddenly come here?"

"My clan's Imperial Lord came to the Jade Clam Clan to observe the ceremony, and I am one of the attendants. After arriving at the Jade Clam Clan, I learned that you were in trouble, so I rushed over," Wang Jianqiang said.

Biyan'er revealed a look of sudden realization, her heart stirred, and she asked curiously, "I didn't tell anyone where I was going when I left the clan; how did you know?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "I paid a small price and found someone to help me inquire about it."

What Wang Jianqiang said was simple, but Biyan'er heard the deep concern within it, and her heart warmed.

"By the way, didn't the rules for the Jade Clam Clan Saintess Position Competition change to a team battle? How are you doing with finding teammates?"

Just then, Wang Jianqiang suddenly changed the subject.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's inquiry, a look of disappointment flashed across Biyan'er's face, "I haven't found suitable teammates yet."

"You haven't found a single one?"

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

"That's not it."

Biyan'er blushed as she said this, "In the lineage I belong to, there are indeed some Integration Stage cultivators who meet the rules, but..."

"Aside from me, there is only one at the Integration Stage Perfection level, and their talent is not very high..."

Wang Jianqiang was speechless for a moment.

He had thought Biyan'er's situation might be quite dire, but he hadn't expected it to be this bad.

This wasn't a problem of not being able to find genius teammates.

This was not even being able to round up teammates at the ordinary Integration Stage Perfection level!

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Alright, for the Saintess Position Competition, I will help you. As for other teammates, you don't need to look for them; just find a few to make up the numbers."

Biyan'er was stunned.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about asking Tianyu for help.

It was just that she was very clear about her own situation...

Daoist Friend Tianyu was indeed powerful; even if his strength were suppressed, he would be enough to contend with ordinary Monster-level geniuses.

But this Saintess Position Competition was not a solo fight.

Those competitors were different from her; they would definitely find some Monster-level geniuses as teammates.

Under such circumstances.

Even if she and Tianyu joined forces, they were destined to fall into crisis.

This was also the reason why she hadn't mentioned asking Tianyu for help in the beginning.

She didn't want Tianyu to take risks for her.

Thinking of this, she shook her head, "Daoist Friend Tianyu, this Saintess Position Competition is not as simple as you imagine."

"You are indeed very strong, but my situation is somewhat special; if you join, I fear you will encounter life-threatening danger."

"I don't want..."

"Isn't it just the targeting from your Clan Leader?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, directly interrupting Biyan'er's words.

Biyan'er was stunned, "Daoist Friend already knows?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded, his expression calm as he said, "Not to mention that your Clan Leader only potentially targets you, even if they were, so what?"

"And you seem to have misunderstood my meaning. When I said I would help you, I didn't mean just me helping you alone."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Biyan'er was stunned and said with some hesitation, "Daoist Friend Tianyu means..."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "I, Lianyin, Mingchen, and Jiayue will all participate in this Saintess Position Competition."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Biyan'er's heart was shaken.

If what Daoist Friend Tianyu said was true, then it was no longer a question of whether it was enough; it was simply more than enough!

Only...

Although Tianyu was a Mermaid Clan cultivator, he was, after all, only from the Black Scale Lineage.

Mermaid Princess Lianyin might agree, but the Mermaid Prince's relationship with him didn't seem very good; how could he possibly agree?

Furthermore, even if the two of them agreed.

The Mermaid Empress could not possibly be unaware of the relationship between her lineage and the Clan Leader.

Given the relationship between the Mermaid Empress and the Clan Leader, would she be willing to let the Mermaid Princess and the Mermaid Prince get involved in her affairs?

Then there is Jiayue.

She is the apple of the Sea Giant Clan's eye, after all...

Thinking of this, she could not help but glance at Jiayue.

Sensing Biyan'er's gaze, Jiayue smiled, "Brother Qiang's will is my will."

Hearing Jiayue's response, Biyan'er was stunned.

Brother Qiang?

Have the two of them become this close already?

And listening to Jiayue's tone, it sounded quite like she was completely obedient to Tianyu!

Cultivators of the Sea Giant Clan have always been known for being overbearing, and as the strongest prodigy of the Sea Giant Clan, Jiayue's personality is even more overbearing and arrogant than the average Sea Giant Clan cultivator.

This could be seen from when they first met in the Treasure Land, when she opened her mouth and demanded to fight them all.

And now.

This apple of the Sea Giant Clan's eye was actually so submissive to Daoist Friend Tianyu!

A look of disbelief could not help but flash through her eyes.

Immediately following that, a wave of admiration rose in her heart.

As expected of Daoist Friend Tianyu, whose character and qualities are rare in this world.

To think that even Jiayue is so convinced by him!

After receiving confirmation from Jiayue, Biyan'er no longer had the slightest worry about the assistance of Lianyin and Mingchen.

Since even Jiayue, who was the least likely to offer help, had already stated her position.

There would certainly be no problem with those two either.

Thinking of this, she could not help but reveal a look of excitement.

Lianyin, Jiayue, and Daoist Friend Tianyu are all existences standing at the peak among the Great Clan Prodigies, especially Daoist Friend Tianyu, who once even defeated Jiayue!

Even if suppressed by the Secret Realm, their strength could at least rival those Great Clan Prodigies at their peak state.

Her own strength might be slightly weaker than these three at their peak, but she possesses the Ninth Generation Clan Leader Clam Shell; her true combat power might be a little weaker than Daoist Friend Tianyu, but she is confident it is not below that of Lianyin and Jiayue.

Moreover, she will not be suppressed while inside the Secret Realm!

With such a combination, there is nothing to fear!

The consequences of failing the Saintess Position Competition are too severe; ever since becoming a Saintess Candidate, a nameless pressure has been hidden in her heart.

Ever since the Saintess Position Competition drew near and she began making preparations for it.

Whether in the Jade Clam Clan or on the way to seek help from other clans, she had repeatedly hit walls.

This made the pressure in her heart grow heavier and heavier, like a great mountain, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Now...

This great mountain has vanished, and she feels an unprecedented sense of relief.
