That evening, Shi Mu learned of this and stared at Xu Yuehuai with a dazed look, filled with emotion, "Thank you, Senior Sister, but... but you are all such accomplished individuals, won't the others have any objections if I'm included?"
This was Shi Mu's biggest worry—that he would hold Xu Yuehuai back and cause everyone to be dissatisfied with him. He could accept being criticized himself, but he couldn't let others be criticized along with him. Xu Yuehuai shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you have enough talent, it's just that you haven't had a good opportunity, and no one has specifically guided you. If you have the conditions, you will grow very quickly."
Shi Mu gained a little confidence and secretly encouraged himself. He must work hard to improve so that Xu Yuehuai wouldn't think that recommending him was an unwise move. He would definitely strive to make progress!
Shi Mu comforted himself in this way, finding some solace in his heart.
Aqing laughed from the side, "See, there are still plenty of opportunities on the mountain peak, right? Don't cook for the next few days. I've been watching you cook for so long, I've already learned how. You just need to focus on your cultivation."
Aqing doesn't need to join any team. He's just someone on the mountain who takes care of the sect leader's daily needs. Every mountain has such disciples. Most of them are not talented enough, and cultivation is not a simple thing for this type of person, so they can only use this method to survive.
After the plan was executed, all the teams gave themselves a name. Shangguan Xi carefully selected a name and submitted it: the Riding the Wind Team. When Nangong Yu heard it, his face darkened, thinking it sounded terrible.
Xu Yuehuai didn't have any particular feelings about this, but Fu Ziyi was disgusted. However, there was no use in being disgusted, as the matter was already settled.
"Hey no, I mean, you're starting to blame me now? It's because we formed the team too late that I had no choice but to submit this name. Why didn't you guys come with me? How was I supposed to know there was such a step?" Shangguan Xi said with her arms crossed, speaking with a straight face.
Xu Yuehuai watched with a smile. One of Zisangyi's rules was that the team members would live in the same courtyard. He had gone to great lengths to carry out this renovation, working overnight to renovate the house. For a moment, everyone looked at the unfamiliar environment and almost felt like they had come to the wrong place.
This matter is a bit difficult for the Wind Riding Team. There are seven people in total, five of whom are direct disciples, and one is Xu Yuehuai's person. All six of them live on the mountain peak, leaving only Xuan Chi.
The resources and cultivation environment on the mountain peak are much better than those below. This is the treatment reserved for geniuses. Obviously, Xuan Chi also realized this. He looked at the group of people and said calmly, "You don't need to worry about me. I can live down there by myself."
Each team has a courtyard, and they can choose to stay there or not, but in reality, very few people choose not to stay there, so Zisang didn't make this rule a hard requirement.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Shangguan Xi stepped forward and put an arm around Xuan Chi's shoulder. "Oh, look at this poor little guy. Don't worry, your senior sister will stay with you down here. Anyway, I'm tired of living on that mountain peak. There's nothing fun there. I might as well come down and keep my junior brother company."
After saying this, Shangguan Xi looked at everyone and realized that her words were slightly misleading. For a moment, her smile became a little awkward. Wasn't this just a clear invitation for them to come down and live with her? But there was no need for the others to do so.
"I didn't mean for you to come down too..." Shangguan Xi said with a smile, hoping that this would make her words seem more credible.
Xu Yuehuai said, "Since we're in the same team, we'll be together a lot when we're out on missions, so we'll definitely need to live together and work well together. So why don't we all move down here?"
Nangong Yu clapped her hands, praising, "That's exactly what I was thinking! It's exactly the same idea as Senior Sister's!"
Shangguan Xi rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that this person was a suck-up king, always able to say a few words of praise no matter who was speaking.
With everyone's agreement, this decision was made.
The house wasn't small; it had a spacious courtyard with seven rooms. Xu Yuehuai chose the room furthest to the side, while Shangguan Xi wanted to be next to Xu Yuehuai. The rest of the rooms were chosen randomly by everyone.
Shi Mu was somewhat quiet, and Fu Ziyi noticed this as well. He also discovered that Shi Mu unusually liked to stay by Xu Yuehuai's side, as if something around Xu Yuehuai was attracting him.
He stepped forward, put a hand on his shoulder, and said casually, "I see you're quite interested in Senior Sister. Are you up to something?"
The words "impure intentions" sent a shiver down his spine, and he quickly denied it, saying, "Absolutely not! I... I'm just a little unfamiliar with them, and I'm timid."
Shi Mu hurriedly explained, fearing that Xu Yuehuai would be subjected to some unfounded rumors because of him.
Looking at him like this, Fu Ziyi wasn't sure if she believed him or not, but she stopped looking at him.
"Next, the most important thing for our Wind Riding Team is to win first place!" Shangguan Qi said arrogantly from his seat.
Nangong Yu couldn't help but shake the fan in his hand and retort, "I think it's more like last place."
"Nangong Yu, will you die if you don't speak? How can you call us last place? Senior Sister is here, how could we possibly be last place!" Shangguan Xi's eyes were filled with anger, and she didn't even call him Senior Brother anymore, but called him by his name.
Nangong Yu didn't refute, just watched her get flustered.
After the brief interlude, Shangguan Xi continued, "Since everyone has no objections, I'll go check what missions are available, seize them, and contribute to our cause! We'll make everyone fear us!"
Xu Yuehuai listened casually from the side, while Baili Xiuwen and Xuan Chi remained silent. Now, in one team, three people didn't like to talk, two were talkative, and one was too timid to know what to say. Only Shangguan Xi would talk here and there, and when she didn't say anything, the atmosphere in the team was eerily quiet.
Xu Yuehuai needed to go back and pack her things. After saying goodbye to them, she left. As soon as she got back, she ran into Zisangyi, who was sneaking around trying to leave. "Where are you going?"
Xu Yuehuai narrowed her eyes, her gaze wary. If he dared to run away the next second, she would definitely catch him.
Zisang, caught red-handed, gave an embarrassed smile. "I was just bored because there was hardly anyone on this mountain, so I decided to go down and take a look. What a coincidence that I ran into you here."
When Zisangyi is nervous, she likes to make small talk, and it's very obvious.
