In a sense,
on the path of reclaiming lost territory, the various families that had been revived by Luo Li's orders and had remained fiercely loyal to the Luo God Clan—including those scattered survivors who could barely even be called families anymore—had all been drawn to Luo Li's side.
A weak person who could stand firmly by your side at any time was far more worthy of trust and cultivation than a powerful person who wavered back and forth.
This was a principle Lu Yuan had taught Luo Li.
Of course, it was also the truth.
After all, weakness was only relative. There was no absolute weakness. If someone who always stood by your side was still weak, there could only be two possibilities. The first was that this weak person's talent was truly abysmal and, aside from loyalty, they were good for nothing—a typical subordinate who easily messed things up. The second was that their upper limit had been restricted by you. Perhaps you had not intended to do so, but one fact could not be denied: shallow waters could not produce true dragons.
Let us analyze the first possibility.
The problem still lay with you.
"Good for nothing" and "possessing only loyalty" might seem like related terms, but viewed from the other side, they contradicted each other.
Everything that was created had value.
That value could only have gone undiscovered.
It could not possibly exist without meaning.
Therefore, placing suitable people in suitable positions was a basic quality of any superior. Of course, from another perspective, besides ability, one also had to consider interpersonal relationships, personality, interests, and many other factors when assigning positions. This was why some superiors loved talking about wolf-pack culture. Such team configurations could indeed repeatedly produce victories where the weak defeated the strong.
