After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 224 Sword Alliance Team

When Bai Lu and the other person saw Li Xiaoyi's cold expression in front of her room, the atmosphere froze.

"I saw that your door wasn't closed, so I thought I'd close it for you," Bai Lu explained, forcing a smile.

"Go ahead and try, and I won't pursue the matter of you barging into my room without permission," Li Xiaoyi said coldly, then placed a few red fruits in Bai Lu's hand.

Bai Lu looked at the red fruit in her hand, then at Li Xiaoyi's expression, and immediately laughed, "Let's try it, it won't hurt me."

The three women returned to the ancient forest, their gazes all turning to the white crane praying for spirits in the wooden nest above.

Bai Lu took a deep breath, slowly walked forward, and stretched out her palm, revealing the red fruit inside. Qi Ling Bai He, clearly not satisfied with Li Xiao Yi, became interested again upon seeing the red fruit in Bai Lu's hand, and so it spread its wings and flew towards Bai Lu's palm.

When Bai Lu saw the Qiling White Crane flying towards her, she immediately smiled. Suppressing her excitement, she slowly squatted down, wanting to have a close encounter with the Qiling White Crane on the ground.

But before she could make a move, a white shadow flashed before her eyes, and the red fruit in her hand disappeared instantly, while the Praying White Crane flew back to its wooden nest in the treetop.

Bai Lu's smile froze instantly. She stood there, holding her hand up in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe what had just happened. Li Xiaoyi, on the other hand, had a faint smile on his face.

A moment later, Bai Lu clenched her fist, looked up at the white crane in the treetop and said through gritted teeth, "I know you have bad eyesight. I won't blame you this time, but next time please look more carefully and see what makes me unworthy of that bastard!"

"What are you doing?" Shen Xu looked at the three women who appeared in front of his wooden house with some confusion.

“I really like this cradle. Can you make one for me?” Li Xiaoyi said, sitting on the cradle and gently rocking it.

"Sure, it doesn't take much effort."

Seeing Li Xiaoyi's improved mood beside her, Bai Lu knew that the Qiling White Crane was definitely closer to Li Xiaoyi than to her. But the book also said it was just a legend, and legends shouldn't be taken seriously. Besides, as long as she fed it a basketful of Zhuyu Fruit, she didn't believe she couldn't fatten up a white crane!

"I want one too!" Bai Lu immediately exclaimed.

Shen Xu scratched his head and thought to himself, "I just casually made a cradle, is it really that good?"

“Okay! I’ll make a few more when I have time,” Shen Xu replied.

"Why did you finish your cultivation so early today?" Guan Bi asked curiously.

"The manual you gave me says that newly initiated disciples need to complete a sect mission within three months of joining. I want to go out and see what it's like," Shen Xu said slowly.

"I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it. I've been too busy lately," Bai Lu said somewhat embarrassedly.

“However, the first sect mission for newly joined disciples is always completed with the guidance of veterans from each team. Shen Xu, it seems you haven’t joined any team,” Guan Bi reminded him.

"Isn't there a task that I can complete by myself?"

"The Sword Alliance encourages disciples to team up to complete missions. It's not that there aren't solo missions, but those solo missions are beyond your current level," Guan Bi explained.

"Do I have to join a team?"

To be honest, Shen Xu was reluctant to join a team. According to the information he learned from the manual, Sword Alliance disciples who joined a team were to undertake related combat missions.

If a team asks you to fight, you have no choice but to fight. There are also various team exercises and confrontations, but he just wants to quietly cultivate in the ancient forest until he reaches the Qi Sea Realm.

"What do you mean 'must join'? Do you think I recruited you to Tianhe Club just to have you join my team?" Bai Lu said, raising her head.

"Your team?" Shen Xu couldn't help but ask, somewhat puzzled.

"The leader of each Sword Selection will have the right to form his own team. Many of the powerful teams in the Tianhe Club were formed by previous leaders. As the leader of the Tianhe Club in this Sword Selection, I naturally cannot fall behind."

"Okay, I can join your team. How should we proceed with our first mission?"

"Well, my team hasn't been formed yet, so I'm not qualified to take on missions." Bai Lu scratched her cheek.

"Then please hurry up. I read in the manual that disciples who fail to complete their mission within three months will be invited to the Judgment Council for a chat. Although I don't know what kind of organization the Judgment Council is, I doubt they will actually invite me for a chat."

"The main problem is that we don't have enough people right now. To form a team, you need at least five people, and with you, we only have three," Bai Lu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"The leader of the prestigious Tianhe Society can't even muster five people? Are you kidding me?" Shen Xu was speechless.

“This is my team, destined to become one of the top teams in the Four Directions Sword Alliance. How could I possibly just find some mediocre people to fill the ranks at the beginning?” Bai Lu said without backing down.

"Why doesn't Wen Han join your team?" Shen Xu asked curiously.

“She has better options, and most people are unwilling to join a newly established team because it has too many weaknesses. It’s far more profitable to join an established team. Even many teams founded by guild leaders have disappeared into the dust of history.” Bai Lu’s tone was somewhat wistful.

"So how do you plan to find the remaining two people?"

“Isn’t there one right here?” Bai Lu said with a smile.

"Xiao Yi, are you also joining Bai Lu's team?" Shen Xu couldn't help but wonder. He could tell that Li Xiao Yi and Bai Lu didn't get along.

"I don't trust you!" Li Xiaoyi replied calmly.

Hearing Li Xiaoyi's reply, Shen Xu said with some emotion, "Xiaoyi, I didn't expect you to care so much about my safety, but don't worry, I can take care of myself."

Li Xiaoyi gave a cold laugh but didn't say anything.

"What about the remaining person?" Shen Xu continued to ask.

“I don’t have a suitable candidate yet, but I hope it can be someone who is good at stealth,” Bai Lu said slowly.

"Uh..." A black-clad girl immediately popped into Shen Xu's mind, but if he really got Ye Zhi over there, he couldn't even imagine how lively his surroundings would be.

"What's wrong? Do you know someone like that?" Bai Lu asked curiously.

After thinking it over, Shen Xu decided to introduce Ye Zhi to Bai Lu. Right now, the most important thing for him was to complete a sect mission and then return to the Ancient Forest to cultivate in peace. Besides, Bai Lu might not be satisfied with Ye Zhi. He was just providing Bai Lu with an alternative.

"I do know such a person, but she may not be a member of the Tianhe Society."

"It's alright. It's common for different guilds to form teams with each other. That's how we prevent different guilds from fighting each other alone," Bai Lu said nonchalantly.

“I met her during the sword selection process; her stealth skills are exceptional. However, I don’t know where she is right now, so I can only give you her name and her ranking in the sword selection,” Shen Xu said slowly.

“Even you, Shen Xu, praised his stealth skills, which means he’s really amazing! He’s probably the talent I’m looking for. Tell me his name quickly.” Bai Lu said excitedly as she approached Shen Xu.

“Her name is Ye Zhi!” Shen Xu replied.

"I bet this is another one of your lovers!" Li Xiaoyi said with a smile.

Seeing the hint of murderous intent in Li Xiaoyi's smile, Shen Xu hurriedly explained, "How could that be? She and I are just ordinary friends. Don't overthink it."

"hehe!"
