"I think it'll work!" The young man who had first asked "Senior Brother Xu" for his opinion nodded at once. "Senior Brother Xu is the strongest. The four of us only need to hold off the Black Dragon Wild Flood Dragon for a moment while he picks the Spirit Dragon Fruit."
At those words, the other three faces darkened.
The two women among them frowned slightly, though neither spoke up right away.
Those two women were Mu Ziqing and Ao Xiner!
The other three were Outer Disciples assigned by the Sect Headquarters to undergo the Inner Gate promotion assessment.
Senior Brother Xu was named Xu Tianqing. The young man backing him up was Wan Bo, while the young man who had remained silent was Song Zifan.
Xu Tianqing and Wan Bo had known each other for years. Mu Ziqing and Ao Xiner had joined the Azure Flame Sect through the Azure Flame Grand Tournament on the True Martial Continent. As for Song Zifan, neither woman knew him well.
Xu Tianqing's proposal seemed reasonable, but Mu Ziqing and Ao Xiner instinctively felt something was wrong.
"Anyone can pick the Spirit Dragon Fruit. Since Senior Brother Xu is the strongest, he should be the one leading the effort to hold off the Black Dragon Wild Flood Dragon," Song Zifan, silent until now, suddenly said.
Mu Ziqing and Ao Xiner nodded. Song Zifan had a point.
Their misgivings came from two things. The first was exactly what Song Zifan had pointed out.
The strongest person was going to pick fruit instead of holding off the Black Dragon Wild Flood Dragon. No matter how they looked at it, that was wrong.
And second...
The Spirit Dragon Fruit was immensely valuable!
A single Spirit Dragon Fruit could be exchanged for three thousand Azure Flame Points!
