Chapter 3739: 4.1339 My Wife Is Too Popular

"Of course, students who wish to withdraw from this preliminary round can immediately hand over their identity token and ruby, thus exiting the competition!" Dean Yun said cheerfully.

"This competition is an extremely fair one."

"No one will be able to cheat, so I hope talisman masters pay attention. Before leaving the auditorium, I hope all talisman masters will store any portable storage talismans they have into their inner realms. If we discover you using a storage talisman during the competition, hehe, you understand."

Everyone: ...

When Dean Yun said this, his gaze lingered on Lord Qiao Qiao for a long time before he calmly withdrew it.

Qiao Mu was instantly surrounded by the seven people, including Ma Ta!

"Qiao Qiao, let's stick together!"

Lord Qiao Qiao glanced at them expressionlessly. "That pit-digger just said that an eight-person team must include an ordinary person."

Wuwuwuwu...

Qi Xuanxuan and the other seven simultaneously put on bitter gourd faces. This meant that one unlucky person among them would have to be kicked out of the team! Ah!! Frustrating...

Team Formation Begins

At this moment, Dou Fenghua walked over with a smile, nodding gently to Mo Lian. "Your Royal Highness, may I be so bold as to inquire if I may join your group?"

Dou Fenghua was a physician and also capable of alchemy. While his alchemy skills weren't as profound as Lord Qiao Qiao's, he should still be able to formulate the antidote for the Seal Pills.

Mo Lian nodded in welcome, though his gaze, filled with a hint of grievance, drifted towards his little wife. His wife was so sought after that he, as her husband, was actually being excluded by them, how pitiful!

"Ma Ta, accept your fate with grace," Little Fatty said awkwardly, patting Ma Ta's shoulder.

Qi Xuanxuan suppressed the urge to burst out laughing, lightly coughing. "Ma Ta, don't panic. Following the Crown Prince and Prince Chen, you won't lose out." What kind of combat power did those few possess? Would there even be a competition once they entered Fengmu Forest? Ma Ta basically had nothing to worry about.

Qiao Mu nodded her head, saying to the pitiful-looking Ma Ta, "You follow Lian, Duan Yue, and my elder brother, and do well! We still need to find an ordinary person to join our team."

"Brother A-Lie, can I join your group, please?" Princess Xiangchang ran over, calling out to Duan Yue with a wronged expression.

Duan Yue immediately felt a shiver. This girl always looked on the verge of tears whenever she saw him, making him feel as though he had done her some grave injustice, it was utterly bewildering.

"Sorry, we already have an alchemist," Mu Xingchen flatly refused, then said to Mo Lian, "Go find an ordinary person."

The New Ordinary Team Member

Little Fatty was a completely resourceful and well-informed character. It didn't even take him three minutes to find an ordinary person for Lord Qiao Qiao and her group. This person was a bookworm from the student society named Cao Qi. Qiao Mu asked him three questions and unexpectedly learned that this Cao Qi was actually the grand-nephew of Cao Jue-tou from Jingzhao Prefecture.

"You'll do," the little Crown Princess decided, raising her hand and giving Cao Qi a hard pat on the shoulder.

Cao Qi stumbled, almost collapsing to the ground from the little Crown Princess's blow.

Little Fatty silently reached out and steadied him. "Are you alright?"

Cao Qi chuckled awkwardly and secretly glanced at the little Crown Princess with curiosity. He had, of course, long heard of this Crown Princess.
