"Team is all here! Ready to fight!" Lin Xiao frowned, acting humble and subservient.
Seeing Lin Xiao's difficulty, Shui Binger immediately acted like a loyal soldier under a general, tugging at his sleeve from behind and mustering her courage to say,
"Lin Xiao Gege, leave everything to Binger!"
"Binger will complete it very seriously!"
Ye Lingling: "..."
Dugu Yan: "..."
Both of them looked at Shui Binger in a daze.
Hey, girl, do you have to be so considerate?
You're the one who's making the market so competitive!
You're spoiling men rotten! Lin Xiao was greatly gratified.
Of all the thoughtful companions in the world, who could compare to Shui Binger? Lin Xiao smiled slightly and gently patted Shui Binger's little head, "Sister Yanyan and Sister Lingling have worked hard on the previous tasks, so let's do the rest together, okay?"
Shui Binger was even more delighted to hear this.
As long as she was with Lin Xiao, she would only frown at most, even if it meant murder and arson! Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan exchanged glances.
These two old friends of many years saw a sense of great threat in each other's eyes.
Shui Binger is a master! This is not something Ning Rongrong and other small fries can compare to! Dugu Yan quickly brought the topic back on track.
"Actually, it's nothing. There aren't many people in the academy who meet our requirements. After all, we were looking for people with Soul Elder cultivation or higher. In the end, we selected these. Take a look."
A flash of light came from Dugu Yan's Storage Soul Tool.
A document appeared in her fair palm.
Lin Xiao curiously opened it and looked at it, "In our team, Ning Rongrong is the support, Sister Lingling is the healer, Sister Yanyan is the controller, Shui Yue'er is the agility attacker, and Binger and I are the power attackers. Theoretically, we should be lacking a defense-type."
Well, the seven-man team is missing a tank.
Lin Xiao and Shui Binger flipped through the information and found that most of the team members selected by Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were girls, with only a few boys.
The boys were all meat shields, while the girls were control-type, agility-attack type, and defense-type.
Lin Xiao's expression became increasingly strange.
He closed the document, supported his forehead, and sighed:
"Are you guys looking for team members or selecting concubines for the Imperial Palace?"
This is outrageous!
Most of the information Dugu Yan gave him was about beautiful girls, and there were too few boys! What's up, are these two noble ladies showing compassion for His Majesty and preparing to select concubines for Emperor Lin Xiao?
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged glances.
A look of relief appeared in both of their eyes. In fact, the reason why girls accounted for such a large proportion of this information was also an assessment of Lin Xiao.
After all, there are so many girls on the team.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling gathered together at night to discuss. As close friends, they talked about everything, so they boldly speculated about Lin Xiao. Was this mixed-up kid trying to turn the team into a harem? Although Shui Binger and Lin Xiao met the earliest.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling should have also joined the team.
Ning Rongrong is an unshakeable nuisance, if not for the monk's face, then for her father's.
However, the proportion of girls is still a bit too large!
What if they chose a boy and Lin Xiao was unhappy? But it seems that they were overthinking things.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling came up with a pre-planned excuse, "Isn't it all Lingling's fault? She said she's socially awkward and only wants to team up with girls, and you're someone she watched grow up, so she can barely accept you."
Lin Xiao's eyes went dark, and he felt dizzy.
Watched him grow up, my ass! With such eloquence, should I call you Mom Lingling? Ye Lingling was almost telepathic with Lin Xiao.
She patted her already considerable chest and said proudly:
"Little Lin Xiao, Sister Lingling has been watching you grow up since you were a little bean sprout. If I don't treat you like a son, at least you're a younger brother, okay? Although you've grown taller and stronger now, that's not a reason for you to disobey your elders!"
Lin Xiao was speechless.
He couldn't bear it any longer and lashed out, giving Ye Lingling a knock on the head.
"Ye Lingling! I'll get Aunt Ye to deal with you sooner or later!"
Ye Lingling was originally clutching her head and crying out in pain.
Hearing the words "Ye Qingxian" and "deal with," her slender shoulders trembled, and her face still showed panic as she looked towards the door. Only when she didn't see Ye Qingxian's figure did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Lin Xiao! How dare you hit me!"
"How dare you say you didn't watch me grow up?"
Ye Lingling felt both wronged and annoyed. In the past, this was just normal play, but now that Shui Binger was beside her, Ye Lingling couldn't help but think: Goodness! The little bean sprout I watched grow up is hitting me now! It must be because there's another girl around! He must have no feelings for Sister Lingling anymore!
I'm tired, let's just destroy everything!
Ye Lingling was sensitive and had shallow tear ducts.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Lin Xiao had a headache.
She couldn't handle playing, but she loved to make a fuss!
And she only ever made a fuss with him, tormenting him!
He felt like the eighteen-year-old Ye Lingling was his daughter! Would he still have to coax her when she was twenty-eight or thirty-eight?
Lin Xiao smiled helplessly, "Okay, I admit I watched you grow up, alright?"
Ye Lingling snorted softly, but didn't say anything.
Shui Binger, however, trotted forward, protectively standing in front of Lin Xiao, and said with concern:
"Sister Lingling, Lin Xiao Gege didn't mean to, let me blow on it for you."
She carefully blew on Ye Lingling's head.
Ye Lingling: "..."
A fragrant breeze brushed her face, and Shui Binger smelled quite nice.
Ye Lingling dodged away in a bit of a panic.
"Oh, no need, it doesn't really hurt."
She released her Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Soul, and a pinkish-white light flashed, causing the slightly raised bump to disappear.
Ye Lingling felt embarrassed, realizing that she had actually been acting spoiled with Lin Xiao in front of Shui Binger, and the image of a mature older sister that she had painstakingly cultivated had quietly collapsed.
She had no face to meet her elders...
She moved with light steps, hiding behind Dugu Yan.
Lin Xiao looked at Shui Binger with surprise and gave her a thumbs up, saying:
"Sister Lingling just needs a sister like you!"
"Little Lin Xiao!!!"
Ye Lingling's voice, filled with anger and embarrassment, rang out.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, no longer teasing her, and opened the files, pointing to one of the names, he said:
"This guy named Yan Song, his Martial Soul is the Thick Earth Rock Turtle, he's a level 35 Battle Soul Elder, and he's old enough to participate in the next Soul Master Competition, so let's choose him."
The others looked at Yan Song's information.
Hmm, it was quite standard. His defense was strong, but his agility and attack were poor. He was a qualified meat shield.
He was also the person that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had previously agreed was the most suitable for their Team's needs.
"This Yan Song not only has strong personal defense, but most importantly, his Third Soul Skill, Tortoise Shell Guard, can provide defense to everyone within a certain space. How to protect the two Soul Masters in our Team who don't have combat abilities is the primary issue."
The people on the list had all been screened and had their opinions solicited.
No one else had any objections.
Lin Xiao slammed the table and said, "Then it's decided, it's him!"
The subsequent cultivation plan, team integration, actual combat training...
He will formulate the plan!
Let's get the daily training in order and prepare to fight!
