Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Chapter 1866: They're all competent

Feng Jiu replied, "Yes!" Then, she took off the mask, revealing the handsome face behind.

Since her appearance had been disguised, she wouldn't be recognized by others except by those very familiar with her. He was unconscious the previous time she had saved him and those few people at his side had probably forgotten her already. After all, who would still remember the people they met while on the road?

When the black robed man saw the face in front of him, he was surprised by the youth and good looks behind the mask. The young man should have been under twenty years old and fair-skinned. His facial features were not particularly striking, but he was handsome and attractive.

As a result of the heart-scattering pill, these people obeyed orders almost instinctively and without any resistance. It was the best way to keep them close by since there's no worry that those who took the pill would commit betrayal.

The black robed man glanced at the waist card of the young man and took a look. "The Ninth?"

"Yes." Feng Jiu answered.

"Among the one hundred and three of you, who's the captain?" The black robed man was playing with the waist card inscribed with the number nine in his hand while sweeping his gaze at the men in front of him. Finally, his gaze fell on a man.

This man, in his view, was the strongest of all. This man should have been the captain. However, just when he thought that his conjecture was correct, the Ninth opened his mouth.

"Answering Master, Subordinate is the captain!"

Feng Jiu answered while cursing inwardly. She had always been called Master or Mistress by others, but when she came here, she had to call others Master. She was especially distressed because these people were her enemies.

"You?"

The black robed man was surprised. He asked with a playful smile, "With your Nascent Soul strength, you can become their captain? Did they obey you?"

"Subordinates obey orders!" This implied that they all had acted in compliance with orders and had never refused to obey.

The black robed man curved his lips slightly and nodded. "Well said."

His eyes narrowed and stared at the more than one hundred people in front of him. Then, he told the Ninth. "Since you are their captain, I will send sixteen men to infiltrate into the four great sects. In your opinion, which sixteen men do you think should be sent?"

Without flinching, Feng Jiu answered in a clear voice. "Answering Master! We are all excellent. Whoever you choose to send is competent. We will never let Master down!"

"Hahahahaha! What a good phrase - everyone's excellent and everyone's competent! Very good!" The black robed man was very pleased that he looked up and laughed heartily. His cheerful expression surprised the four people behind him. They did not expect the Young Master to be so happy. For a moment, the four men's gazes stayed at the young man called the Ninth.

This young man's answer was very clever. His effortless answer made Young Master delighted. He was really a talent. Besides being highly intelligent, he also had extraordinary strength. He was a really good seed.

The black robed man smiled and turned slightly over to look at a middle-aged man at his side. "Pick the sixteen men. After briefing them, let them infiltrate the four great sects as the shadow disciples. They will seek information for us."

"Yes." The middle-aged man responded, stepped forward, and told the crowd to take off their masks. After selecting sixteen of the younger men from among them, he ordered them to step forward.

"The Ninth." The black robed man looked at Feng Jiu with a flicker of interest in his gleaming eyes.
