Chapter 364: Jiang Xiaofans Crisis!

Chapter 364: Jiang Xiaofan's Crisis!

After a brief commotion, Lin Xian'er, accompanied by Senior Sister Yun Yiyi, arrived at the training ground of East Court's sword team.

Usually at this time, Ling Feng would not have returned to Tianshu East Court yet, presumably still training with the sword team.

Due to Ling Feng's influence, Lin Xian'er was now considered a regular at East Court's sword team. The other team members were long accustomed to her visits as she always came to visit Ling Feng.

Similarly, another frequent visitor to East Court's sword team was Qin Wanwan. However, she was more cunning and always found excuses involving people like Liu Yunfei or Ouyang Jing to reluctantly come along.

She was a prideful woman indeed!

"Hey, Junior Sister Lin is here again! Ling Feng, someone's looking for you!" Ye Nanfeng shouted into the training ground upon seeing Lin Xian'er.

Lin Xian'er blushed slightly, but she was used to these guys' teasing. Somewhere deep down, she even felt a bit pleased.

With Qin Wanwan absent, Lin Xian'er's mood was inexplicably good today.

After all, meeting a love rival always stirred up jealousy!

"Wow, look who's here! Sister-in-law!"

Ouyang Jing approached with a grin, casually calling her "sister-in-law."

The rest of the guys immediately focused their attention on Yun Yiyi standing behind Lin Xian'er.

While they couldn't make a move on Lin Xian'er, Yun Yiyi was a different story!

Yu Sixian and Feng Mo, in particular, approached with charm and introduced themselves in a flirtatious manner.

Yun Yiyi was taken aback after realizing that the members of the esteemed sword team were such characters...

It was like her worldview had collapsed!

"Hehe..." Yun Yiyi could only smile awkwardly as she said, "Hello everyone, I'm Yun Yiyi, Xian'er's senior sister."

"Wow, Yiyi! What a beautiful name!" Yu Sixian enthusiastically complimented. "As the saying goes, 'The beauty on your mind is on the other side.' Yiyi, you are that beauty[1]!"

"Shut up!" Xue Xiaolin kicked over fiercely, feeling annoyed. "Hey you, the captain's been calling you for ages!"

"Fine!" Yu Sixian snorted lightly while muttering, "Crude. Girls should be delicate and quiet to be more pleasing."

"Hmm?" Xue Xiaolin turned and glared at Yu Sixian, her eyes flashing with a hint of killing intent.

"Big Brother, does this say 'Beiliang County' in the north?"

After months of studying, Jiang Xiaofan's ability to read and recognize characters had indeed improved, but he still found some complex characters difficult to understand.

"Hmm?" Ling Feng's pupils contracted as he stared at Jiang Xiaofan before exclaiming, "Xiaofan, does your family live in Beiliang County?"

"Yes! Yes!"

Jiang Xiaofan clenched his fists tightly. "No, I have to go back! I have to save my family!"

"Xiaofan, don't get too worked up!" Ling Feng pressed down on Jiang Xiaofan's shoulders and said in a deep voice, "Beiliang County is vast, and according to this, the demon has just arrived there. So, you shouldn't be too impulsive. The more critical the situation, the calmer you need to be."

"Mhmm! Big Brother, I'll listen to you." Jiang Xiaofan took a deep breath, but anyone could see the worry in his eyes.

"Xiaofan, try to think positively." Ouyang Jing also patted Jiang Xiaofan's shoulder, comforting him.

"In that case, we shouldn't delay any longer." Although Gu Tengfeng didn't have much connection with Jiang Xiaofan, they had met once. Since Jiang Xiaofan was Ling Feng's good friend, he naturally considered him a friend too.

Now that his family might be in danger, Gu Tengfeng naturally couldn't sit idly by.

"Mhmm, we shouldn't delay." Lin Xian'er also understood the seriousness of the situation, nodded, and said, "This mission requires a total of five people. It seems Xiaofan must go. In that case, the rooster will be Xiaofan along with Captain Gu, Ling Feng, myself, and Senior Sister Yun. Any objections?"

"Only five spots?" The others sighed in disappointment. They had thought the entire East Court sword team could participate together!

Since Lin Xian'er brought back the mission scroll, everyone naturally had no objections to her decision.

"Alright, us five then."

Gu Tengfeng wrote their five names on the scroll and tucked it away. He was planning to hand it back to the Mission Hall. The mission was officially accepted.

"This concerns Brother Xiaofan's family, so we won't delay any longer." Gu Tengfeng pondered for a moment, and then turned to Li Bufan, speaking solemnly, "Bufan, while I'm away, I need you to supervise the training of the others. Can you handle it?"

"Me?" Li Bufan was momentarily stunned. Isn't Vice-Captain Gong Cheng still around?

But before he could respond, Gu Tengfeng already placed a large hand on his shoulder. "I'm counting on you."

Li Bufan felt a pang of bitterness but nodded reluctantly. "Alright."

"Mhmm." Gu Tengfeng withdrew his massive hand and glanced at Ling Feng and the others, his expression serious. "Let's go. We’ll register the mission at the Mission Hall and depart directly for Beiliang County!"

1. There is a Chinese saying related to this sentence. In Chinese, 'the beauty on your mind' is pronounced as Yi Ren. This sounds like Yiyi, which is why Yu Sixian is using this wordplay ☜
