Fang Yu understood what Suo Fengxiang meant.

She was looking for teammates.

Four tables of people, four teams.

If he didn't join any of them, he could only sit alone at a table, just like those who acted alone.

Earlier, Qian Bei had beckoned him over, probably also wanting to invite him to join their team.

But Suo Fengxiang's sudden intervention made him abandon the thought.

In front of Suo Fengxiang, Qian Bei really had no right to speak.

Moreover, in terms of strength hierarchy, Suo Fengxiang's table indeed had more power.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Yu made his decision.

"I understand. Then for this journey, I'll be under the care of Senior Sister Suo and the other sisters."

His words elicited various reactions from the ladies.

First and foremost, naturally, was Suo Fengxiang.

Though she was somewhat downcast for not finding You Shuyang, hearing Fang Yu's willingness to join her team still brought out a rare smile.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely protect you!"

Jie Yuxue, who held her sword in her hands, just nodded lightly, acknowledging his decision.

The tall-legged lady Qiu Shantong yawned and spoke.

"Got it, although you look average, I suppose you are above average; you've caught the eye of Qiu Shantong. For men who catch my eye, I won't let them die easily."

You, with just an inconsiderable amount of blood... How can you say such a thing?

Fang Yu scratched his head.

"Scarlet Bloom Mist."

The woman sharpening her knife continued her task, but suddenly spoke up, surprisingly announcing her name.

The only normal foodie girl, Yu Yongan, blinked at Fang Yu.

"With so many senior sisters to protect you, you don't need one more. By the way, I'm the kind of person who likes to be protected."

If she could wipe the food residue from the corner of her mouth, her words might have had a bit more charm.

Fang Yu responded to each of the ladies and took his seat to integrate into the team when a gaze that had been faintly lingering on him since earlier, disappeared.

Fang Yu's peripheral vision glanced at the neighboring table.

It was Qian Bei.

It seemed he had been watching to see if Fang Yu would join Suo Fengxiang's team.

If not, Qian Bei would likely have come over to invite him.

Fang Yu understood in his heart.

"Yu Xin is skilled in swordsmanship, Shantong is skilled in leg techniques, and Xue Er is skilled in the sword technique while An An... she can [Qi]."

Suo Fengxiang, with the simplest of words, introduced the companions.

Fang Yu wasn't too concerned about the first three, but the last foodie girl immediately sparked his interest.

In terms of health, Yu Yongan with 1099 HP, was not considered extraordinary, roughly on par with Suo Fengxiang.

But being able to use Qi Force techniques significantly increased her score; combat power couldn't be measured by usual health anymore.

Fang Yu couldn't help but take a few more glances at Yu Yongan, though she no longer paid attention to him.

"Senior Sister Suo's team has a new member."

"A man? Didn't Senior Sister Suo say that her team only takes in women?"

"You believe that? She previously wanted to invite Senior Brother You to join, but he had absolutely no interest."

"The strong band together, leaving us minor patrol officers struggling."

"Tonight's task is out of the ordinary. It makes sense for Senior Sister Suo to recruit members. But what puzzles me is, what's so special about this new guy? Does he really have that much ability? In my opinion, there are quite a few capable hands over with Brother Qian Bei, it would be better for her to recruit from there."

"You don't get it, amongst those people in Brother Qian Bei's group, quite a few have their complaints against Senior Sister Suo..."

As Fang Yu took his place at Suo Fengxiang's table, a murmur broke out around him.

Even at Qian Bei's table, there were whispering voices and the occasional glance thrown their way.

Fang Yu didn't mind, but Suo Fengxiang was clearly frowning.

But before Suo Fengxiang could do anything, all the voices around them suddenly hushed and everyone turned uniformly to look in a certain direction.

Even the long-legged Qiu Shantong quickly retracted her legs from the table and respectfully looked over.

The others followed suit, pausing in their motions.

Fang Yu followed their gazes to see Zhuo Xueer had arrived.

Step by step, Zhuo Xueer walked past the tables, not looking at anyone, cutting straight through the crowd, then turned to stand before them all.

Wherever there are people, there is a world.

Zhuo Xueer couldn't control others' thoughts, and even though she always knew that factions and secret rivalries existed among the lower ranks, she could only ease the conflicts, not resolve them completely.

And she didn't need to.

As long as everyone obeyed and put forth effort during missions, that was enough.

Feeling everyone's gaze concentrated on her, Zhuo Xueer slowly started to speak.

"Tonight, the reserve deputy captain's promotion task is... to hunt the Lin Family Martial Arts Hall's deputy captain leading the patrol tonight, Lin Bei!"

"Reason for the hunt: Suspected to be possessed by a demon."

"Time to act: Effective immediately!"

Her announcement caused a tremendous uproar.

Zhuo Xueer, starting the game with a knockout blow.

Instantly, discussions rose all around, and many faces turned pale.

Anyone who mixed in Tianyuan Town knew of the Five Great Families.

And among them, the Lin Family's Guardian Martial Hall was known for producing numerous experts.

The capabilities of the deputy captains of the Guardian Martial Hall were almost on par with that of the deputy captains of the Foolish Underworld, and could even greatly exceed them.

Is this really a reserve deputy captain's promotion task? Was this something they could achieve?

With a sneak attack and the advantage of surrounding and outnumbering them, there might be a chance.

But the night patrol would naturally come with its own team, albeit fewer in number, the opposition would still be formidable.

And this is assuming the deputy captain of the Guardian Martial Hall is at his normal strength.
