That Really Broadened His Horizons

"It's been so long, why haven't they come out yet?"

"Yes, it's been that long. Has it ever lasted this long before?"

Some people shook their heads in confusion.

After the words were spoken, someone thought for a moment and then said...

"I have heard of someone who persisted for a long time before, but it's just hearsay, and I can't remember exactly. However, considering the time involved, this one has probably already surpassed the previous record."

"It seems we might not have a chance this time. It's also because we were drawn too late in the lottery."

Some people shook their heads and sighed softly.

Cao Qianyu remained silent throughout, only staring at Jiang Tao.

His purpose in coming here was to determine whether the Jiang Clan could truly seize this opportunity.

However, the current situation does not appear to be optimistic.

Just then, everyone sensed a sudden surge of power in the area.

Everyone instinctively looked toward the source of the fluctuation, and the next moment, two figures appeared out of thin air in the hall.

One of them was none other than Li Baimei, who had gone in earlier.

And another figure, whether the people present recognized him or not, the moment these two figures appeared, a voice rang out.

"Lord Yang!"

"Greetings, Lord Yang!"

"Greetings, Senior Yang!"

Everyone had their own opinion.

Gu De's gaze immediately turned to the figure beside Li Baimei.

"It really is a man!"

Gu De thought to himself.

Then, his gaze couldn't help but return to Li Baimei. After a couple of glances, Gu De made a judgment in his mind:

Judging from Li Baimei, his condition must have actually been quite bad; it was clearly a forced performance.

So,

"Li Baimei has probably been completely ruined!"

"In that case,"

Gu De couldn't help but think:

"Isn't it enough to have messed up Li Baimei? We can't go any further, can we?"

At the same time, Chu Ping'an's thoughts were far stronger than Gu De's.

If Li Baimei fails to accomplish this, he'll be the next one to suffer!

However, looking at Li Baimei's visibly tired appearance, Chu Ping'an had a rough idea of what was going on.

So many people went in before, but none of them came out. Yet Li Baimei was led out by Yang Kaizhi.

This already speaks volumes.

Things turned out exactly as Chu Ping'an had predicted.

Yang Kaizhi looked at Li Baimei, then returned his gaze to the others present and asked.

Who recommended this person?

Seeing Yang Kaizhi's radiant state, Jiang Tao immediately stood up and said with a smile.

"Lord Yang, this young man was recommended by my Jiang Clan."

"Jiang Clan?"

Yang Kaizhi nodded and said.

"Good, I'm very satisfied."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a wooden plaque was thrown at Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao's face immediately lit up with joy. He quickly reached out and grabbed the wooden plaque, then thanked him profusely.

"Thank you very much, Lord Yang!"

Meanwhile, most of the people in private also revealed expressions of immense envy.

That envy wasn't just a subtle kind of envy; it was written all over their faces, as if the small wooden plaque that Jiang Tao had caught was something extraordinary.

Gu De glanced at the people around him, then turned to someone next to him and asked telepathically.

What is that?

The man glanced at Gu De with surprise, looking quite puzzled.

"You don't even know what that thing is? Did you come here just for a thrill?"

Gu De's expression stiffened slightly.

At the time, he only knew that since Li Baimei had come here, she must have some value.

Who would have thought that this Jiang Clan woman was truly heartless, pushing Li Baimei into a pit of fire right from the start, almost dragging herself down with her.

At this moment, seeing that Gu De did not respond, the man also spoke.

"That wooden plaque symbolizes the protection of the Huaxia Sect. Although it can only be used once, after which there will be no further contact with the Huaxia Sect, and it also requires a great deal of resources."

"Even so, it is still a symbol. Having this thing is enough to protect one's life in times of crisis, or to protect one's power."

"I see."

Gu De nodded, his thoughts suddenly shifting slightly.

If that's the case, then this approach is definitely worthwhile, as long as you don't try it yourself.

If it's just as a recommender...

That...

Gu De suddenly remembered the two people who had spoken earlier.

Pity!

Judging from Li Baimei's current posture, it's almost certain that it's true.

If he hadn't been so far forward, I might have given those two men a try.

If it really works out, I'll have someone to rely on in the future.

While it's true that you have to rely on yourself when you go out, you can't rely on yourself for everything.

At this moment, Yang Kaizhi glanced at everyone in the room and said.

"This pet selection process is now concluded."

"What he got, you can get too if you can find something that suits my taste."

After saying that, Yang Kaizhi raised his hand and waved it, causing Li Baimei's figure to disappear from the scene.

Watching the two leave, Jiang Tao took another look at the wooden plaque, then happily put it into his storage ring.

For a moment, I was in a great mood.

He then turned to look at Cao Qianyu, smiled, and said...

"Cao Clan, I heard you've recently gotten on the good side of the Tai Clan?"

All eyes immediately turned to them.

The two had clashed before, so no one was surprised that Jiang Tao had spoken up now.

As the saying goes, it's a great relief to finally hold one's head high. Now that they have obtained this wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect, if they were in their shoes, they would do the same thing.

Cao Qianyu had clearly anticipated this, and her expression wasn't particularly pleasant, but she still spoke up.

"You're just happy. Didn't you see the look on the face that person you brought gave you when they left?"

"Tsk tsk, with that kind of cultivation, he would definitely be an unruly figure in a backward place, yet you brought him to this place to be humiliated. Do you think he won't resent your Jiang Clan?"

Jiang Tao smiled and said.

"If my Jiang Clan doesn't give him a chance, how could he have come to this world and broadened his horizons?"

Cao Qianyu sneered.

That really broadened my horizons.

Jiang Tao wasn't angry.

Now that we have the wooden plaque in hand, the threat from the Tai Clan can be temporarily set aside.

As for the Cao Clan, they can be bullied even more at will.

As for those who are currently arguing with themselves, let them argu; it's perfectly fine.

Right then and there, under everyone's watchful eyes, Jiang Tao left the hall.

On the other side, Chu Ping'an felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.

Staring at the spot where Li Baimei had disappeared for a long time, Chu Ping'an clicked his tongue softly.

"Sure enough, you seem to have a protagonist's halo. I hope you're not relying on system abilities, but genuinely selling your ass."

After watching for a moment, Chu Ping'an withdrew his gaze and turned back to Gu De.

This leek business is certainly taking a risk. If something goes wrong in a place like this, I'm afraid I really can't save him.

Well, if it doesn't work this time, surely we won't have such good luck next time.

Having ventured into this bigger world, it's only natural that there will be some bad luck along the way.
