"I'm going with you."
She didn't ask Li Xiaoyu where he was going or what he planned to do.
She simply and directly expressed her resolve.
Li Xiaoyu looked at her, warmth swelling in his heart.
He knew she could see through anything he did.
"This journey will be dangerous. Have you considered—"
Li Xiaoyu tried to persuade her to stay behind.
But before he could finish, Lu Xueqi cut him off.
"I won't feel at ease."
She looked at him, her cool eyes filled with tenderness that would not fade.
Li Xiaoyu smiled helplessly and reached out to pull her into his arms.
"All right."
He whispered in her ear.
"We'll go together."
Seeing the heartwarming scene, Zeng Shushu tactfully slipped off to one side.
A knowing smile spread across his face.
With that, the Dawn Squad officially took shape.
Captain: Li Xiaoyu, Upper Purity Realm, responsible for overall command and leading the frontal assault.
Main force: Lu Xueqi, ninth level of the Jade Purity Realm, responsible for support and powerful attacks.
Strategist: Zeng Shushu, advanced Jade Purity Realm, responsible for planning and technical support.
Members: Chu Yuhong and several other Morning Sun Peak disciples, responsible for support and logistics.
Three days later, one morning.
On the Martial Arts Arena at Morning Sun Peak, a squad of more than a dozen people had assembled.
They wore matching blue outfits, carried immortal swords on their backs, and stood with solemn expressions, radiating the air of an elite force.
Li Xiaoyu stood at the head of the formation, his gaze sweeping across every member.
There was the steady and reliable Chu Yuhong, the widely learned Zeng Shushu, the cool and breathtaking Lu Xueqi, and several young junior disciples from Morning Sun Peak, their eyes full of resolve and admiration.
