But when Ma Xiaotao proactively chose Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao, the two seemingly weakest members, the other Inner Court Disciples found it rather baffling.
"Alright. Since both sides have chosen their members, no substitutions will be allowed." Xuan Zi took a gulp from his wine gourd and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "You have ten minutes to prepare. The battle begins in ten minutes. Whichever side loses, heh heh, will have to shout, 'I'm a pig.'"
No wonder Ma Xiaotao could handle pressure so well. So this was what had been waiting for her.
Only then did Wang Dong'er understand why Ma Xiaotao had adapted so quickly to being a maid without showing any signs of a poor attitude.
So Xuan Zi conducted obedience tests like this in the Inner Court every day. These people had long since gotten used to it.
The two sides spread apart. Gongyang Mo walked over to Ma Xiaotao and lowered his voice. "Xiaotao, why did you pick the two with the lowest cultivation? They may be from the Control System, but... can they really control Dai Yueheng and the others?"
Ma Xiaotao shot Gongyang Mo a sidelong glance and said casually, "Are you teaching me how to do things? Gongyang Mo, just handle your own support. I'll deal with Dai Yueheng. Xi Xi, you restrain Chen Zifeng."
"He Caitou, since you're a Soul Engineer, make full use of your specialty. I don't care who's on the other side—bomb them hard."
After arranging the duties of the first few members, Ma Xiaotao turned her gaze to Wang Dong'er.
"I know the three of you work closely together. Show the same spirit you had when dealing with me before. Choose your own targets."
It would have been better if Ma Xiaotao had said nothing.
