Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 683 Alliance
In the war of love, two people are the best number of allies.

On the one hand, two people can do more than one person; on the other hand, two people means that everyone can backstab their allies at any time without worrying about the betrayed allies uniting.

Zhao Yuanzhen and Xie Ruoxi had a good relationship, so forming an alliance was a natural thing. Considering this, Su Yunjin could only choose Lin Ning, because Chen Lingyun had no intention of participating in the war.

Similarly, among the four people outside the team, Zhou Hongyu and Tang Xiaolian are also natural allies.

So, Li Minghu actually doesn’t have many choices.

"Sorry to bother you." In Ye Jun's room, she smiled slightly and nodded.

"It's okay." Ye Jun waved his hand and said, "I have plenty of free time anyway."

She turned around to make tea for Li Minghu, only to hear the latter ask:
"You... agreed, right?"

"There's no need for me to refuse." Ye Jun turned around and handed her the tea. "After all, you're aiming for the Golden Core stage."

"But it shouldn't be just this reason." Li Minghu said lightly.

"Yes." Ye Jun looked at her calmly, "What about you?"

"I..." Li Minghu turned the teacup in his hand half a circle and suddenly smiled, "Me too."

What's the same? Ye Jun began to think.

Does that mean that she, like me, agreed to practice dual cultivation with Yan Yu not only to reach the Golden Core level, but also because she has feelings for Yan Yu that go beyond friendship, and hopes to take this opportunity to take her relationship with him to the next level?
Why are you telling me this?
Oh, I see. We can't integrate into Team Yanyu; Zhou Hongyu and Tang Xiaolian are natural allies, so if you need external support, you can only look to me.

Ye Jun is a girl after all. She has studied from elementary school, junior high school and high school. Of course, she knows that interactions between women often come from certain opportunities, such as sitting close to each other, parents knowing each other, or having common hobbies or situations, etc.

Following this line of thought, it is easy to understand why Li Minghu came to find me.

Ye Jun quickly guessed the answer, smiled, and started chatting with Li Minghu.

Both of them were vice-captains of their teams, and the only women on the team, so they had a lot in common. Especially since both teams had a captain who was so annoying... Li Minghu could teach his brother a lesson when he was upset, but Ye Jun couldn't disrespect Jing Ye, so she poured out her grievances to Li Minghu, unknowingly venting her stress:
"...At the worst, the entire team was huddled up on the second floor of the villa playing games, and every day I had to go get takeout from the door! I'm the vice-captain! Who would ask the vice-captain to go get takeout? This is outrageous! What do they think of me?"

"Yeah, that's too much." Li Minghu whispered to comfort him, "At least you should take turns to get it. You must still think you're too easy to talk to."

"I'm too easy to talk to." Ye Jun gritted her teeth in anger. "One time, she was tired of eating takeout, and she actually had the nerve to ask me if I could cook! I really want to stew all the men in this room!"

"Let's make some soup." Li Minghu said with a smile, "Useless men, we don't need them anymore."

"That's right." Ye Jun was silent for a moment and sighed, "If they could be one tenth as reliable as Yan Yu, I wouldn't be so tired."

Li Minghu smiled but said nothing.

They all became members of the team in May of their senior year of high school, which meant they were about sophomores this year. For male college students of that age, indulgence and immaturity were common phenomena... However, compared to other boys his age, Yan Yu was far too precocious in both his thinking and temperament, and the fact that so many girls were attracted to him was the best proof.

"But there are still very few men like Yan Yu." Li Minghu said with emotion.

"I've never seen it before." Ye Jun echoed, "They say a man matures only when he starts making money..."

Her voice paused for a moment:

“But for us, the money still comes too easily.”

The two chatted while drinking tea. Li Minghu wanted to get closer to Ye Jun, and Ye Jun didn't reject it. For a while, they seemed to be having a good time.

Talk to her about cooperation now? Li Minghu was a little tempted.

No...it's still too early.

It is a taboo to talk too much with someone you just met. If you take the initiative to wait for her reply, you will lose the initiative.

It doesn’t matter, I’m the only partner Ye Jun can find.

Let’s try it for a while longer.

--------------

"Have you thought it through?" Zhou Hongyu said expressionlessly.

"I've made up my mind," Tang Xiaolian said seriously, "Although I think the chances are slim... I wouldn't be willing to quit now."

"Very good." Zhou Hongyu said indifferently, "Then let's defeat all the enemies and finally have a final internal showdown!"

"Wait, Captain Zhou," Tang Xiaolian asked hurriedly, "Your 'knock out' doesn't mean knock out in the literal sense, right?"

"Beat them until they give up on Yan Yu!" Zhou Hongyu clenched his fists and said viciously, "Some of them look so weak..."

"Don't do it, Captain Zhou!" Tang Xiaolian quickly hugged her waist, "Calm down! If a fight breaks out, it will be hard to explain to Captain Yan!"

After the two of them struggled for a while, Zhou Hongyu finally calmed down and asked:
"So what do you think we should do, Xiao Lian?"

Tang Xiaolian was suddenly a bit lost. Normally, when the team asked, "What should we do?", Captain Zhou would usually consult Deputy Captain Zhang. Since this was a relationship-related issue, it was certainly not appropriate to consult an outsider.

Does that mean Captain Zhou can only rely on me now? Is this why Captain Zhou wants to form an alliance with me?
Tang Xiaolian finally cheered up and shouted:

"I have three strategies: upper, middle and lower!"

"Tell me in detail." Zhou Hongyu said seriously.

"The best strategy is to take advantage of our dual cultivation and create a baby!" Tang Xiaolian was full of confidence. "As long as she's pregnant, given Captain Yan's personality, there's no way she'll just ignore it. That way, we'll be naturally invincible. In the end, it's just a matter of a small win or a big one!"

"No." Although Zhou Hongyu was quite tempted, she still shook her head. "What if he doesn't buy it? What about the child? I can't let the child be born without a father. That would be too unfair to it."

"Oh, that's true." Tang Xiaolian had already guessed that Zhou Hongyu would not agree to this radical plan, and said, "The worst option is to keep things separate. Let's not talk about dual cultivation anymore. Let's just continue to cultivate our relationship with Team Yan and compete with them!"

"That's too conservative." Zhou Hongyu still shook his head. "Let's not talk about others. The people on his team are with him day and night. In a fair competition, we are at a huge disadvantage." "Yeah, that's true." Tang Xiaolian continued to smile. "In that case, why don't we adopt the middle strategy?"

"If dual cultivation is something that no one can stop, then wouldn't it be fine if we just continue this relationship after we achieve Core Formation?"

"You mean?" Zhou Hongyu immediately understood, "Let him indulge in..."

She suddenly became excited because she was keenly aware that her biggest and unique advantage over others was her ability to let go.

For the sake of my love, I can do anything, I dare to do anything, and I am willing to do anything! Can you well-educated young ladies do it?

"Let's use the middle strategy!" Zhou Hongyu was extremely excited. He shook Tang Xiaolian's hand tightly and said without letting anyone refuse, "When the time comes, you can come too!"

"Ah, me?" Tang Xiaolian was immediately confused. "No, Captain Zhou, I..."

"The two of us together!" Zhou Hongyu shouted, with fire burning in her eyes. "They can never do it! Together, the two of us will make Yan Yu unable to extricate himself from this exciting relationship! He'll be like prey caught in a spider's web!"

No, then how can we decide the winner internally... Tang Xiaolian really wanted to say that.

Just looking at Zhou Hongyu, who seemed to be on fire, with a strong determination to win or lose dancing in his eyes, she couldn't say the words of refusal for a moment, not to mention...

Maybe it really works?

If I were alone, the chances of success would be slim. Captain Zhou was right. Compared to the Zhenhai team, we were already far behind from the start. Fair competition is too disadvantageous for us.

We still have to come up with a surprise!

------------

Time flies and soon it is December.

One thing is finally confirmed: everyone will have to spend this year's New Year's Day in the base here.

Ever since the list of people who wanted to practice dual cultivation was confirmed, the girls rarely came for night raids - after all, they couldn't get any essence from coming, they would just be hugged and touched, and there would be no improvement even if the relationship ended, so they just took advantage of it for nothing.

On the 10th day of the month, Li Weiguo officially visited the Wudang Mountain Base, and Yan Yu accompanied him and chatted for a while.

On the training ground, the men had grown tired of friar basketball and were now obsessed with friar bowling. Without resorting to supernatural powers, a shot would land, and there were still bottles standing, forcing them to chug several bottles of wine on the spot.

Yan Yu accompanied Li Weiguo to watch for a long time, and suddenly heard Old Li ask:
"Why are there only men here? Don't the girls want to play?"

"No one invited them," Yan Yu replied. "When we first started playing basketball, Li Zhaojiang invited me, but I didn't go. Later, he stopped inviting me."

"This shouldn't be the case," Li Weiguo asked, puzzled. "At your age, you should be most eager to fall in love, so why are you all single? You don't have any pressure in your daily lives, so how can the unhealthy trend of not getting married and having children still blow over here?"

"It's because I don't have any pressure in life that I can do whatever I want." Yan Yu replied, "If there really was pressure in life, I would consider getting married and having children."

"Alas," Li Weiguo sighed. "It's not uncommon for top transcendents abroad to have illegitimate children from each other. There are also many projects studying the differences between the offspring of two top transcendents and those of ordinary people. We've already established a project here, but we can't actually do it. What's going on?..."

Yan Yu sneered and kept silent, thinking to himself, is Old Li pointing at me?

Damn, why am I being pressured to get married and have kids when I’m so young?
"So what are the girls doing?" Li Weiguo continued to ask.

"Let me ask." Yan Yu took out his phone and sent a message, then quickly said, "In Zhenhai, Yunjin and Ningning are out hiking; Lingyun, Ruoxi, and Yuanzhen are in their rooms watching a play; Li Minghu from Qing'an and Ye Jun from Longxiong are looking up information in the library; Xu Jin took a leave of absence this morning and will be back at noon; Zhou Hongyu and Tang Xiaolian from Huofeng... uh, are practicing yoga in the yoga room."

"Although I don't participate in group activities, I can say that my life is rich." Li Weiguo nodded. "What about you? What do you usually do?"

"I just hang out," Yan Yu replied. "If I want to participate in sports activities, I join them. Occasionally, some girls will pull me to do other things."

"what's up?"

“It’s just everyday activities like hiking and watching dramas.”

"Hmm." Li Weiguo thought to himself.

Combining the existing intelligence at hand, all the male monks in the four teams are either single or looking for ordinary girls outside; the marriage status of the female monks is simply wiped out... Although it is a traditional custom for women to be selected, why are they all staring at Yan Yu?

You could say that Yan Yu is not a playboy, as he deliberately keeps so many girls hanging around here, enjoying the life of being the center of attention; but if you say he is a playboy, he doesn't mess around with women much, and compared to those chaotic circles abroad, he can be considered a decent man.

"You should still communicate with them more," Li Weiguo advised. "None of these female monks want to fall in love. The higher-ups are also worried about this."

"What's there to worry about?" Yan Yu was puzzled. "Just because you're single doesn't mean you can't fight."

"What if they launch a "beauty program" abroad, sending out spies tailored to women's mate preferences?" Li Weiguo raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can you guarantee that nothing will go wrong? People who are in romantic relationships are more stable. This principle has been irrefutable throughout history."

"That's true." Yan Yu recalled that in his previous life, there were several ordinary warriors who were corrupted by external forces using beauty traps, and he had to admit that such things did exist.

Although at the level of the four major teams, any outsider who wants to contact them must go through countless rounds of review, but there is still the possibility of oversight.

Alas, there's nothing I can do. I'm the only one left to help Lu Guo resolve his problems.

My greatness needs no words!

"By the way," Yan Yu asked, "Is there anything going on outside recently?"

"What rumors did you hear?" Li Weiguo asked in surprise.

"No, I'm just guessing," Yan Yu said. "With the four major teams gone, I wonder if someone out there is ready to make a move... Isn't that reasonable?"

"It's true that there are some problems." Li Weiguo said calmly, "But it's okay. It's not to the point where you have to step in and solve it."

"That's good." Yan Yu pondered for a moment, "If necessary, you can let them practice here, and I'll go out and show my face and take a walk around to deter some forces with bad intentions."

"Of course you can." Li Weiguo said with a smile, "I will definitely call you when the time comes."
