▶▶ FULL-LEVEL BOSS DRESSED AS A PEASANT GIRL
Shu Yu naturally noticed the displeasure of the people present and understood what they meant with their gazes.
If it were a man, it would be a different story. But as a woman who seemed physically weak, going into the mountains would only be a burden.
Therefore, the people present remained silent, some even turned their heads, hoping that they wouldn't be chosen.
The official frowned. Since he had promised Meng Yunzheng, he had to take extra care of Shu Yu.
Thus, his gaze swept across the crowd and he said, "Since you all are not speaking up, then I'll make the decision myself."
He favored the eight-person team the most. They had experience and a larger number of members. Shu Yu could just blend in with them and go through the motions, and she would surely gain something from the trip.
After all, it was just an additional person; it shouldn't be a problem.
The official was about to speak when the leader of the eight-person team felt something amiss when he met the official's gaze. He quickly smiled and said, "Sir, I think it's better for men to go on this hunting trip. Women may not be aware of the dangers in the mountains, especially in a large team like ours that will venture deep into the wilderness where there are no shortage of wild beasts like jackals, wolves, and tigers. It wouldn't be suitable for her to join us on her first day. In case something happens, it would be unjust for her."
His teammates behind him immediately chimed in, "Yes, it's true. It would be better to let her join a smaller team that doesn't go deep into the mountains. It would be a good opportunity for her to practice and gain experience. Once she's familiar, she can join the larger team in the future."
As they spoke, the man looked towards the only three-person team.
The faces of the three individuals changed slightly, and they hastily said, "The three of us have been working together for a long time, and we're familiar with each other. Adding another person would disrupt our synergy. How about letting her join Team Five? There's already a woman in their team, and it would be more convenient for the two girls to be together and take care of each other, right?"
Shu Yu was momentarily stunned. Besides her, there was another girl? Why hadn't she noticed her before?
Following the gazes of the crowd, Shu Yu looked towards Team Five and carefully glanced over. Only then did she notice a girl standing in the corner as described.
The girl wore coarse linen clothes and had her hair styled like a man's. Her face was also tanned, and she had a petite stature. Standing behind a few men, if one didn't look closely, she would easily go unnoticed.
When the girl heard her name being mentioned, she lifted her head slightly, and her fingers clenched lightly.
But the members of Team Five, who were also mentioned, became displeased. They had already brought one burden with them, and now they wanted to add another one? Did they still plan to hunt or eat?
The leader of Team Five immediately said, "I don't think it's appropriate, but they did make one valid point. Sir, it's indeed unsuitable for these two girls to accompany us into the mountains. It would have been fine with just one, but since there are two now, why not let them form a team of their own?"
Someone behind him chimed in, "Yes, sir, they are two girls, and they don't need to venture deep into the mountains. They can just stay in the outskirts, hunt some wild chickens or rabbits, and not worry about encountering danger."
Others nodded in agreement and said one after another, "Yes, that's right. It's a good idea."
The official furrowed his brow. He actually thought it was not a bad idea. Hunting some wild chickens in the outskirts would be enough for these two girls. Their assigned task wasn't originally demanding, so catching three wild chickens or rabbits would suffice.
He pondered for a moment but still wanted to hear the opinions of the two girls.
