"How can this be done, sir!" Kou Zi was the first to stand up and object, her eyes full of worry.
Murong Xiao rolled her eyes at this smart, loyal but nosy maid and made up her mind to let her gain more experience in this fierce team.
"No problem! From now on, as long as I'm with you, I'll train with you, eat and drink with you."
Looking at the few secret guards who looked pale and dared not speak, Murong smiled and said, "Don't you want to protect me? Then let's have a competition to see who can outrun me in this weighted run! You are not as good as me in martial arts, but if you are still not as strong as me in physical strength, then you can stay here with peace of mind.
Now that you have joined the Kuangfeng team, you will be assessed along with your teammates. If you fail the assessment, I will pack you up and return you to your master intact.
Also, since you've already followed me, from now on you belong to me, Gu Xiao. Like them, you can only obey my orders. If you disobey or are unwilling, go back to where you came from! Do you understand? "
Murong Xiao's words startled the secret guards, and they immediately clasped their fists and said, "Yes."
"Of course, if you can withstand the test, you will enjoy the same treatment as the members of Kuangfeng in the future." Murong smiled at the several secret guards and maids and said to them softly, "I don't need secret guards and maids. What I need are right-hand men who can help me."
Murong Xiao's words shocked everyone. They were merely servants in the Prince's Mansion; the title of "right-hand man" had never crossed their minds. Jinse and Qiaose were especially impressed. They had assumed Murong Xiao would marginalize them, only to discover she would develop them into trusted confidants and right-hand men. Compared to the Marshal's Mansion, their status was a world apart.
"We will definitely live up to your trust, sir." The eight maids and secret guards clasped their fists and promised.
Murong smiled and nodded, walked to the place where sandbags were piled and asked Jinse to help her tie the sandbags.
"No need, sir. We are all your team members. Your orders are our tasks. There is no need for you to personally participate in such training." Seeing that Murong Xiao was about to go into battle himself, Xiao Yimo stopped him.
Although they all called him Master Gu Xiao, all the team members now knew that their Master was actually a woman. They were subordinates loyal to this woman, so how could they let their master, a woman, suffer with them?
After saying this, he turned to the team members at the back and said, "Kuangfeng must meet two requirements: first, complete the mission, and second, be absolutely loyal. This is the first mission assigned to us by the young master. Anyone who feels they can't do it can leave now!"
After hearing Xiao Yimo's words, Murong Xiao's eyes flickered with admiration. Her judgment was always sharp; this Xiao Yimo was definitely not a caged bird, but an eagle with broken wings. He possessed courage, wisdom, martial arts skills, and leadership abilities. She believed that after all her training, he would surely shine brightly in the future.
"Are you willing to leave?" Xiao Yimo asked loudly.
"No!" Five hundred people said in unison.
"Since you don't want to, since you all want to stay in Kuangfeng, then muster up your courage and bravery, challenge yourselves from now on, and break through your limits!"
