Chapter 78 – Super Elite Team (1/2)
Chapter 78 – Super Elite Team
The elite teams from the five prominent families remained in the camp, as they were preparing large amounts of food and water for the upcoming war. Young lord Wuhen, as well as his team, however, had kept to themselves quietly, as though they planned to stay here for a long time, instead of venturing into the Visionary Forest.
Qinghan and Qingwu, at the invitation of Feng Zi, walked towards one of the bamboo houses. When they pushed the door open, Qinghan found Hua Cao and Qingcheng looking at them with a subtle smile.
“Hey, guys, what’s the matter? Why urge us to come here?”
“Good news! Super good news!” As Feng Zi replied, his face was radiant with a healthy ruddy color.
“Yes, buddy. We’ve got good news to tell you. It’s pretty funny!” Hua Cao glanced at Qinghan under his long eyelashes.
At the same time, Qingcheng also winked with her limpid eyes, and explained, “We’ve made a decision that all our top 50 advanced cultivators will join your team. And they’ll contribute to the total credits of your team!”
“What? Are you sure?”
Out of sheer confusion, Qinghan pondered for a minute. As for the Yue family, in order to make Qingcheng and him a couple, they could’ve done such thing. But, what about Feng Zi and Hua Cao? Qinghan firmly believed that their relationship hadn’t yet developed to the extent, where they could sacrifice their own families’ interest to help him out. Therefore, he threw a doubtful glance at both Feng Zi and Hua Cao. Meanwhile, Qingwu was also staring at these two young lords, with a suspicious smile.
“Qinghan, why didn’t you tell us about your sister’s illness earlier? If you did, we would’ve absolutely assigned all of our best elites to your team, to help you level out Ghost Island and get that Spirit Immortal Dan.” Feng Zi patted his own muscular chest, as he said in a valiant heroic tone.
“Hehe, a super elite team formed by the four prominent families! Our family will be responsible for exploring the way, and assassinating whenever necessary; the Yue Family will be in charge of attack; the Feng Family will provide additional assistance in the rear; the Ye Family will march forward in the front line. How can anyone defeat such a formidable team? We’re confident to annihilate all enemies and obtain the required credits!” With a sinister smile, Hua Cao envisaged the glorified future battlefield.
After listening to what Hua Cao said, Qinghan was suddenly filled with passion. Definitely, with the help of the other three families, the credits would be easy pickings! The Hua family was good at exploring the way with their Invisible Technique; the Yue family was excellent at soul attacks by forcing the enemies to fall into an unreal fantasy. Most importantly, as valuable young lords of their families, they would certainly be protected by one or two cultivators in the Realm of the Prince, who would, in some way, also contribute to the full power of the super team. Putting all the above elements together, the safety and attack level of this super team would absolutely be invincible.
Qinghan stood up, bowed to them all, and said in a solemn expression, “I sincerely appreciate your great kindness. I’m afraid I cannot make any recompense for you. I owe you for doing this for me…”
“Haha, you’re welcome. Remember? Back on the island of the Tranquil Lake, we made our promise. Plus, your future wife has sent us two beauties from the Yue Family. You’d better thank Qingcheng instead. But if you’re determined to compensate us, we would gladly accept… ” Feng Zi stole a glance at Qingcheng, as he replied.
“Yeah, what kind of compensation will you give us? Haha!” Hua Cao said jokingly.
Qingcheng kept looking at Qinghan with affectionate eyes, to see his response.
Without an immediate reply, Qinghan met Qingcheng’s eyes, and curled up his lips in doubt, in an almost indistinctive way. After a short while, he managed a smile.
“Thank you again. We will report to our leader about this. I hope, that in the near future, we’ll give you guys generous rewards in exchange.” Qingwu helped Qinghan to break the awkward silence.
“No… Miss Qingwu, please don’t say so. We’re just kidding. Originally, we just planned to have some fun in this war, and accumulate some practical battle experience. Now, since we’ve formed a super team, I feel more secure.”
The enthusiasm in Hua Cao’s eyes remained obvious, “We should hurry up. The rest of our team will stay in the temporary camp as guardians. As for us, we need to have a small drill or something, to ensure the respective responsibility is clearly conveyed to everyone. I’m so itchy to rush into the Visionary Forest, and have a grand feast of slaughter!”
Originally, both Feng Zi and Hua Cao didn’t care much about how many demons or barbarians they would kill, or how many credits they would collect. As young lords of affluent families, they were never short of money and beauties. However, Qingcheng’s proposal had raised their interest, and they also found it more secure to join such a large team. It was justifiable to say, that they killed two birds with one stone in this case: they would receive two stunners from the Yue family; and they could have Qinghan feel indebted to them.
……
In the house where Wuhen stayed, two young men stood on each side of their young leader, instead of Elder Shi and Elder Mo.
“Young lord, did you really decide to decouple yourself from the other four families?” The young man on the left asked with anxiety in his tightly-knitted eyebrows, as he seemed to be rather concerned.
