Chapter 156: Chapter 150: Assemble! Take on the mission!

Back door?

Feng Ying looked incredulously at Shi Nian.

Does she need to go through the back door???

Shi Nian lazily said, "Sister Feng, going through the back door is not a good habit. In principle, since Sword Immortal Lin Bai asked, I should open this back door for you. But doing so is unfair to others."

"I..." Feng Ying wanted to say something more.

Others had already spoken up, agreeing with Shi Nian, emphasizing that the selection must be fair and just.

Feng Ying’s face darkened, she gritted her teeth: "Fine, then how do you want to select?"

"Name, cultivation, and if you have any specialties, mention them," Shi Nian said.

"Feng Ying. Nascent Soul Late Stage. Slightly proficient in the art of talismans," Feng Ying said somewhat stifled.

Chen Mingyue quickly wrote it down.

Shi Nian then said, "Next, you and Sister Chen will go to that little house over there alone. Sister Chen will use some probing spells, do not resist."

Probing spells?

What do they take her for!

Feng Ying wanted to protest right there.

But remembering the transmission from Sword Immortal Lin Bai, she forced herself to hold back.

When Chen Mingyue and Feng Ying came out, the next person moved forward.

It took all morning to interview everyone.

"The final results will be published in All-Worlds Communication two hours later. Those who don’t yet own All-Worlds Communication, remember to go purchase it in time," Shi Nian shouted.

Everyone responded.

After everyone else had left, Feng Ying couldn’t help but step forward: "Sister Shi, it was indeed Sword Immortal who asked me to join your team. I don’t want to disappoint the Sword Immortal, so..."

Shi Nian sighed, "Sister Feng. I know you have strong connections, but people who rely on connections can’t last long."

Feng Ying: "..."

Her head spinning, she could only say through gritted teeth, "Then I’ll wait for sister’s news!"

"Alright, alright," Shi Nian responded noncommittally.

Feng Ying left somewhat depressed.

Chen Mingyue peeked out and said softly, "Sister Shi, among those who attended the interview, Sister Feng has the strongest abilities. I personally still suggest bringing her in."

Shi Nian spread her hands, "I didn’t say not to recruit her."

"Then sister..." Chen Mingyue was puzzled.

Shi Nian chuckled, "Sister Feng is too proud. If it’s too easy for her to pass, she might not readily accept me as the team leader. With her temperament, it’s better to press down on her a bit."

Chen Mingyue looked on admiringly.

Wow.

Sister Shi is even playing with the art of managing people.

Simply brilliant.

Two hours later.

After discussions among the team members, the list was published on All-Worlds Communication.

The first seven names were disciples of Divine Martial Sect.

Seeing this, others didn’t have much to say.

After all, Shi Nian is young, and she might not be able to dominate other team members. In this situation, it is necessary to bring more of her own people.

Even if the three other members are disobedient temporarily, the seven can still suppress them.

Otherwise.

It’s very likely to lead to discordant superiority.

Those three slots are the ones where disciples of other sects can compete.

Eighth: Ghost Hidden Sect: Dong Sen.

The style of Ghost Hidden Sect is different from other sects. They have many unique and strange secret techniques that can be very useful at times. Moreover, Dong Sen is also among the top in strength. Deciding on Dong Sen was unanimously agreed upon.

Ninth: Heavenly Array Sect: Lin Shaodong.

Heavenly Array Sect excels in arrays, and Lin Shaodong is among the best within them, and his cultivation has also reached Nascent Soul Late Stage, making his selection unquestionable.

Feng Ying, seeing the first two were not her, couldn’t help but look nervously towards the last slot.

But this tenth person...

Turned out to be blank.

The announcement stated that as there were no other suitable individuals, the team members would temporarily consist of nine people.

Feng Ying panicked.

Why were there no other suitable people available?

What about her?

The Sword Immortal had finally assigned her a task; was she really going to mess it up?

Feng Ying’s face changed expressions repeatedly, eventually, she let go of her pride and secretly visited Shi Nian at night.

Shi Nian seemed to have expected her arrival and had already prepared some fine tea.

"Sister Feng." Shi Nian smiled innocently.

Feng Ying quickly caught on.

She sat across from Shi Nian. "Were you waiting for me?"

"Sister is really smart." Shi Nian’s smile was radiant.

Feng Ying wanted to speak but stopped herself, asking somewhat stiflingly, "Can you give me this last spot?"

"That was always reserved for you, Sister." Shi Nian replied.

Feng Ying had somewhat guessed it and looked at Shi Nian with some despair.

Was this junior sister targeting her?

Shi Nian blinked and explained: "Sister, you were the champion of the last alliance competition and the top senior sister of the first sect; your prestige is too high."

"So, you intend to suppress me on purpose." Feng Ying said.

"In a team, there can only be one spokesperson." Shi Nian looked at her calmly. "I hope sister understands this principle."

Next, they were to infiltrate Ling Country.

Shi Nian did not want unexpected issues to delay the mission.

Some things had to be said upfront.

Feng Ying felt helpless, but at this point, she didn’t want to complicate things further, so she simply nodded. "Junior Sister is the team leader; from now on, I will listen to everything Junior Sister says."

"Thank you for your support, Sister Feng. Come on, try this tea, it’s really good." Once hearing this, Shi Nian’s face instantly sported a brilliant smile.

Feng Ying: "..."

Wasn’t this change of face a bit too quick?

Nevertheless.

She still drank the tea.

Accepting Shi Nian now was impossible.

But to fulfill the Sword Immortal’s task, she would endure as much as necessary.

After Feng Ying left, Shi Nian added Feng Ying’s name to the tenth spot.

Thus.

The small team of ten was fully assembled.

Shi Nian created a ten-person group in All-Worlds Communication so they could communicate directly in the group from now on.

Early the next morning.

All ten team members arrived in formation, and Shi Nian went to see the Elder about the next mission.

The Elder looked at Shi Nian somewhat hesitantly: "Are you sure you want to take on this mission?"

"Sure." Shi Nian nodded.

Seeing her determination, the Elder said, "The mission only states to reconnoiter Ling Country, not how deeply to investigate. You just need to probe a bit at the edge between the two countries. If you encounter danger, leave immediately; prioritize your lives above all."

Everyone in this squad is a young prodigy, and losing all of them in one go would be a loss even the alliance upper echelons would mourn.

"Don’t worry." Shi Nian said seriously, "We promise not to engage in dangerous acts, our main strategy is to flee the moment we see members of the Demon Clan."

Elder: "..."

How to put it.

Although that was also what he hoped for,

hearing Shi Nian state it so confidently somehow felt a bit off.

Remembering various rumors about Shi Nian, the Elder became reassured.

Shi Nian was said to be a very cautious person; with her leading the team this time, there shouldn’t be any problems arising, right?

There probably wouldn’t be...

Right?

But why the unsettled feeling?

It must be an illusion!
