A sly smile played on Wang Li's lips. "Once the groups depart, announce your desire for rare herbs and resources. Declare that the group who gathers the most will win a chance..." His voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper, "to win a date with one of your junior sisters."
Liu Xue's eyes widened in surprise. "Such an unorthodox approach…"
Wang Li squeezed her waist playfully. "Unorthodox, yes, but effective. Trust me, love, the competition will be fierce."
Just as Wang Li finished his sentence, Sect Leader Deng elaborated on the details of the exercise. The objective – slaying beasts and returning with their corpses. The reward – bragging rights and a hefty prize for the winning team.
This announcement caused a renewed wave of excitement amongst the disciples. The prospect of a friendly competition fueled their competitive spirit, and their gazes involuntarily drifted towards the women of the Jade Lotus Palace.
