As soon as Elder Xuan made this decision, Su Qingfeng instantly became the center of attention... no, he always was.
Whether it was Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, or Jiang Nannan from the outer court, they all approached Su Qingfeng.
Even Huo Yuhao and Gongyang Mo wanted to be on his team.
Seeing this, Elder Xuan was both amused and exasperated. "I asked you to form three teams so you could look after each other and be less conspicuous. Also, the teams could cooperate with each other. But you all want to be on the same team? That won't do."
Ma Xiaotao crossed her arms, her ample chest pushing upwards. She huffed, "I'm the strongest attack-type Soul Master in the team, and the Holy Son is my junior uncle. Being on the same team, I can cooperate with him better and protect him. Isn't that fine?"
"Well, since it's a five-person group, one attack-type Soul Master per team is enough. Dai Yuchen, you and Chen Zifeng each form a team." Elder Xuan said to the other two inner court disciples.
The "Little Dai" he mentioned was naturally Dai Yuchen. His martial soul was the Evil Eye White Tiger, and his strength was second only to Ma Xiaotao's. It was only natural for him to lead a team, and he didn't refuse, agreeing directly.
Chen Zifeng's sword martial soul was a strong-attack type with a touch of control, also suitable for a team leader. The three of them were the strongest in this generation of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Chen Zifeng said, a little disappointed, "Fine, I wanted to be on a team with the Holy Son. Too bad. Who wants to be on my team? Little junior brother, where are my teammates?"
The others remained unmoved.
Ling Luochen said, "I'm the best control-type soul master in the team. It should be most suitable for me to be on a team with the Holy Son."
Ma Xiaotao pouted and muttered, "What are you doing here? We're incompatible with ice and fire."
"Tch, still saying ice and fire are incompatible? Don't forget who helped you suppress your evil fire when it erupted before. You haven't had many outbreaks this year, and you're just saying that now, huh?"
Ling Luochen said coldly, annoyed.
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao became smug, her hands on her hips as she harrumphed, "Don't understand, huh? The reason I didn't need your help this year wasn't because the Evil Fire didn't erupt. It's because of my little junior uncle. One-on-one, private, ice and fire merging. Every so often, he uses his ultimate ice to pour into my body. It's comfortable and effective!"
Ma Xiaotao's expression and tone were filled with both joy and happiness, yet also a hint of ambiguity.
Not only did this make Ling Luochen grit her teeth and turn away with a huff, but even Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao were somewhat envious.
Sometimes, a woman with a complex personality has a good life!
"Alright, your group already has two inner court members. That's three. Add two outer court members, and you'll be a team."
Elder Xuan was also getting a headache and quickly made the decision.
He just wanted to finish this task quickly, give Su Qingfeng and these outer court disciples some experience, and then go back and report to Elder Mu.
"I... can I?"
Xiao Xiao raised her hand at this moment, saying, "I'm a dual-system Soul Master, support and control. I can just fill the gap."
At the same time, Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao, and Ning Tian also raised their hands, indicating that they wanted to be the final member of Su Qingfeng's group of five.
Seeing so many people competing, Xu Sanshi and He Caitou sighed. The competition was so fierce; they weren't even being given a chance to choose!
Elder Zhuang spoke up at this moment:
"Alright, the last one will be Jiang Nannan. Ning Tian, you are a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda auxiliary-type Soul Master, which conflicts somewhat with Xiao Xiao. Yuhao, you also lean towards being an auxiliary, and although you have a strong attack martial soul, this team doesn't lack strong attack Soul Masters. Jiang Nannan's martial soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit, an agility-attack Soul Master, which is a perfect fit."
"Hey, Nannan, don't go, you should be on my team."
At this moment, Xu Sanshi leaned over and whispered to Jiang Nannan.
Jiang Nannan quickly avoided him and stood behind Su Qingfeng.
Xu Sanshi's eyes held a hint of malice as he chased after her, speaking in a very low voice next to Jiang Nannan, "Don't forget your mother's illness. I really want to help you."
Hearing this, Jiang Nannan trembled, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Her family background wasn't good. She only applied to Shrek Academy when she was twelve. After being accepted, she quickly became a core disciple. Everything should have been going in a good direction, but not long ago, her mother had a serious illness. However, her family was poor, and she didn't have any good treasures to save her mother.
Xu Sanshi somehow learned that the Black Tortoise Spirit Pill from the Xuanming Sect could save her mother's life. However, the Black Tortoise Spirit Pill was incredibly precious and not easily given away; it could only be given to a man's future wife, and only after their wedding night.
While being harassed by Xu Sanshi, she was also under immense pressure due to her mother's serious illness, and she didn't dare to refuse Xu Sanshi too firmly.
Just now, Xu Sanshi's words carried a hint of threat.
Just as Jiang Nannan was about to speak, unable to bear the pressure of her filial piety, and was about to withdraw from Su Qingfeng's five-person team, Su Qingfeng calmly began, "Alright, let's be a team of five. I'll be relying on you all on this trip. Even if there are some small conflicts, we should all get along well. If there are any difficulties, we'll overcome them together. If there's any danger, no one should have to face it alone; we are all each other's support."
These words were like a spring breeze, making everyone feel comfortable, especially Jiang Nannan. Jiang Nannan thought to herself that no matter what, she would decide after this trip to the Mingdou Mountain Range. Whether she found another way or succumbed to Xu Sanshi's pressure, she would accept it!
Elder Xuan and Elder Zhuang both nodded in satisfaction. Su Qingfeng's words showed he was a good leader, and at least proved he had a kind heart.
Su Qingfeng also noticed the subtle relationship between Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi. He hadn't paid attention before, but now he finally remembered that Jiang Nannan had been constantly pestered by Xu Sanshi, and eventually, Xu Sanshi had used saving her mother's life as a condition to sleep with Jiang Nannan.
In Su Qingfeng's eyes, this behavior was very despicable. He even suspected that Jiang Nannan's mother's illness was something Xu Sanshi had schemed. The longest road Jiang Nannan had walked was Xu Sanshi's schemes.
Although Su Qingfeng wasn't consumed by the urge to sleep with Jiang Nannan, he also didn't want to see such a beautiful girl being coerced and taken advantage of by Xu Sanshi.
Since they were now a team, all core members of Shrek, he couldn't let such a thing happen.
He didn't believe that any ailment had to be treated with the Black Tortoise Spirit Pill. Couldn't his immortal herbs work?
The other two teams were quickly formed, and they named themselves:
Dragon Tiger Team: Dai Yuchen, Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian, Beibei, Xixi.
Monster Team: Chen Zifeng, Yao Haoxuan, Gongyang Mo, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou.
After the teams were formed, Elder Xuan and Elder Zhuang led them into the Mingdou Mountain Range under the cover of night, with the three teams operating with two core lineups.
