Chapter 239: Team Of Five
"Ahem!" The Elder cleaned his throat to get everyone to give him his attention once again. "All participants can now form teams of five. Once teams are settled, we will be heading to the final test."
Misaki looked at Qian Yan who looked back at her and nodded. This finalized two people for their team, now they just needed three more. "Umm... Excuse me!" A small voice came from behind Misaki. She turned around to see a young girl around twelve years of age standing there with a bit of hope in her eyes. "I know this may seem a little sudden and I may not be worthy enough to be in your team, but can I please join your team?"
"Sure!" Misaki said with a smile.
"I knew you would say n… Huh? You said I can!?" The girl's eyes started to form tears but quickly lit up when she realized Misaki had said yes.
"Of course, you can. I have a feeling if you went out with another team something bad might happen to you." Misaki was reminded of her daughter Feng Wei when seeing this young girl. So she couldn't help but show a bit of motherly protection for her.
"Thank you! My name is Fu Rong!" Fu Rong introduced herself, cupped her hands, and bowed her head.
"It's a pleasure, I am Misaki Mitsu, you can just call me Mitsu and this here is Qian Yan." Misaki felt this little girl was very cute.
"What about taking us two in?" A tall young man with well built muscles walked forward. "Don't worry we are not here to try anything. I just want to survive the next test."
"Are you not pretty strong yourself?" Misaki asked.
"Well… I did not use all my strength during the test but that is because I did not want to show any trump cards. I am trying to stay low key if I can. I got a few people in the inner portion of the sect that kind of want me dead. And this kid at my side is the only one I can trust." The young man explained.
"I see… I got no problems letting you join but remember what waits for those who try to do anything to my Yan'er." Misaki firmly stated, completely not caring for how she had just claimed ownership of Qian Yan. It seemed Qian Yan did not mind Misaki's words since she only blushed and blinked her pretty eyes at Misaki with a warm smile on her face.
"Ahh, no problems there. I stay away from relationships since they will just hinder my path of cultivation. And this guy here is only into old ladies. Names Cui Shun, glad to be working with ya."
"Shun! Did you need to tell them my preferences!?" The young man whose face was red as an apple yelled out.
"Only a matter of time that they will figure it out after you gawked at that old hag elder with drool dripping down your chin." Cui Shun shook his head and turned to look back at Misaki: "This little guy's name is Chen Huo."
Chen Huo lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Good to meet you all." contemporary romance
"Alright, it looks like our team is formed. But Shun, was it? Why are you being targeted by people in the inner sect?" Misaki asked.
"Ah… This… Please don't turn me into a mist of blood when I say this but. I was schemed against by one of half siblings who wishes to take my spot as the next in line to my clan and was drugged. When I woke up I found myself in bed with a girl, we were both naked and there were definite signs of us having sex. Especially the dried blood on her thigh and the bloodstain on the bedding. Turns out that the girl was also drugged and led to my room. Not sure what happened but my guess is, under the influence of the drug one thing led to another. She just so happened to be the little sister of one of the inner disciples of this sect... To be honest, if I were to get into a relationship it would be with her. We had talked the next morning before we were barged in on and had planned to get married but she was taken away by her family and I haven't seen her since. This is why I will not seek any relationship with anyone. I already have someone in my heart." Cui Shun explained.
"Then, after this test, let's try to get your beloved back." Misaki suddenly said. This stunned everyone including Qian Yan.
"What why? Why would you do that for someone you just met? I mean if you sympathize with my story that is one thing but how could you trust me? What if I was lying?" Cui Shun was confused. He did not tell Misaki this story to receive any help. He only told her so that she wouldn't turn him into a mist of blood later if she found out.
"Why? First, it is because you are man enough to want to marry the girl you defiled even if it was under the effects of drugs. Second, you can't lie to me even if you tried. No one on this planet could lie to me without me knowing. Plus, when you wish to see your loved ones you do whatever you can in order to see them, no?" As for Misaki, she was even willing to join a sect in order to gain the knowledge and resources she needed to return home.
