Just Put Down Li Baimei

"Good."

The powerful member of the Jiang Clan spoke.

The next moment, he raised his hand and waved it lightly.

Instantly, Li Baimei's figure appeared directly in front of him from the crowd.

His gaze fell upon Li Baimei, and he spoke.

"Next, you will be granted the identity of the Jiang Clan."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly raised his right hand and pointed a finger.

In an instant, Li Baimei felt a unique aura enter his body with the arrival of this finger, covering his entire body.

For a fleeting moment, Li Baimei felt as if her body no longer belonged to her.

For a moment, Li Baimei felt a pang of sadness.

He cultivated his entire life, growing stronger to this point, only to cross the Emperor Road and become a mere soldier of a more powerful force.

If I hadn't experienced it firsthand, I would never have imagined such a thing happening to me.

"Brush--"

At this point, the sensation dissipated.

Everything that had just happened seemed like a distant memory, no different from before.

At this moment, the Jiang Clan expert standing in front of Li Baimei glanced at everyone present and slowly spoke.

"Li Baimei and the Li Clan are now under the protection of my Jiang Clan."

"You should all understand what to do."

He paused, then turned his gaze to the Li Clan experts and said.

"The core strength of the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom has been almost completely destroyed, but its remaining resources still exist."

"From now on, it will belong to the Li Clan, and no one else may touch it."

Upon hearing these words, Xu Tianmiao and the others felt as if their hearts had died.

The Great Qian Ancient Kingdom, such a huge piece of the pie, now belongs to the Li Clan.

Faced with this turn of events, the crowd was filled with deep emotions.

"It's truly unbelievable that the Li Clan ended up getting the biggest benefit."

"With the protection of a powerful force and the resources of the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom, once they return, the Li Clan will be unstoppable."

"I thought the greatest benefit of this Emperor Road would go to the Human Emperor, but now it seems the outcome is truly unexpected."

Others looked on with a sigh.

"As expected, as long as one's power is strong enough, a single word can influence the development of an entire region."

"After we return, the Li Clan will undoubtedly become the center of all pilgrimages."

After such a heated discussion, the powerful member of the Jiang Clan spoke up again.

There's no need to continue here.

This place will remain open.

"If any of you wish to venture out into the world in the future, you can leave through this place."

"As for the rest, you'll understand once you're out there."

After saying that, the powerful member of the Jiang Clan took out a jade talisman and placed it in front of Li Baimei.

"I'll give you three days to arrange things at the Land of Contemplation."

"Come to my Jiang Clan in three days."

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Tong's side.

Then, in one corner of this space, a large gate materialized.

Several powerful members of the Jiang Clan Jiang Clan, along with their ancestor Jiang Tong, disappeared from this place.

Only a large gate remained, standing there Jingjing.

Upon witnessing this scene, Gu De's heart sank.

He couldn't understand it.

What criteria did the Jiang Clan use to select people? Why did they only choose Li Baimei?

Is it because they are unaware of his situation? Or are they aware that they do not wish to become a vassal of a powerful force?

Although I really don't want to become a vassal of a powerful force and lose my freedom, having a choice and not having a choice are two different things.

Compared to myself, Li Baimei's only advantage is her young age.

But if we're really talking about age, he doesn't believe there aren't better choices than Li Baimei.

At this moment, one of the attendants also spoke up.

"This Jiang Clan dares to disregard Your Majesty; this is truly going too far."

"Yeah yeah."

Immediately, another voice echoed this sentiment.

"Given the Emperor's methods, missing out on him would be a tremendous loss."

"Alright."

Gu De began to speak.

Being targeted isn't a good thing. Freedom is far more important than background.

"So what if Jiang Clan doesn't choose him? He'll eventually have to go out into the world."

Compared to Gu De's composure, Xu Tianmiao and the others were no longer able to maintain their composure.

Everyone's skill level is about the same, so why him?

To say that they performed exceptionally well on the Emperor Road wouldn't be entirely true; the Li Clan hadn't done anything particularly remarkable.

But the other party just happened to choose the Li Clan and Li Baimei, and then left.

Why did it come to this?

Among the crowd, Lu Changzhi was also slightly surprised by this situation.

However, unlike others who make choices they cannot understand and can only guess at, he doesn't need to waste his energy on these things.

He immediately Jiang Tong to inquire.

"Ancestor, why did you only choose Li Baimei?"

"You picked it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Tong's voice rang out.

"I have no opinion on these things, nor am I interested in them; they made the choice themselves."

"What, are you a little curious?"

Lu Changzhi nodded.

"I'm a little curious. Gu De's situation is even more complicated than his, so why wasn't he chosen?"

Jiang Tong smiled and said upon hearing this.

"This wasn't supposed to be a selection of geniuses, so there's no need for too much comparison."

"It's just that Li Baimei happens to meet some of the criteria."

"If it weren't to get Li Baimei to work out willingly, they wouldn't have had to worry about any of this."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi pressed for an answer.

"If every Land of Contemplation session ends here, then Li Baimei must have been chosen quite a few times, right?"

"No, this is the first time."

Jiang Tong said.

"While this Land of Contemplation is unique due to its repeated use, it ultimately has inherent flaws in terms of the environment for spiritual practice."

"Even if someone truly possesses cultivation talent and manages to emerge, the Jiang Clan doesn't have enough means to exploit it."

"He wouldn't be considered a talent in the outside world either."

"It's simply a matter of seeing what variables will occur each time."

"As for this time, with you involved, there are quite a few variables."

"This is the first time Li Baimei's talent has been discovered."

What talent?

Lu Changzhi thought back on it and was somewhat surprised.

To be honest, he didn't really pay much attention to Li Baimei.

Instead, his attention was mostly focused on Gu De.

Jiang Tong then spoke.

"When lightning flashed in that waterway earlier, Li Baimei's reaction was quite significant."

You're still young, maybe you don't understand these things yet.

"But all you need to know is that it's also a kind of talent."

"And in this world, there are people who need this kind of talent."

"Talent?"

Lu Changzhi was distracted for a moment, then used telepathy to inquire about Xiao Ye.

After hearing the question, Xiao Ye pondered for a moment before tentatively answering.

"Master, if I had to put it... it seems that Li Baimei actually enjoyed the lightning strike."

Lu Changzhi asked for the overview image from Xiao Ye's side, and understood it instantly after a quick glance.

At the same time, he felt it was a bit outrageous and couldn't help but ask Jiang Tong.

"There should be quite a few people with such talent, right?"

"It took a lot of effort to pick one out; that's quite a hassle."

"Indeed, there are quite a few."

Jiang Tong said.

"But human desires are limitless."

"Moreover, sometimes, building relationships isn't just about having the ability to do it yourself."

Ultimately, you have to be able to give others what they want.
