This Time, We Pick the Best

Tai Clan.

"Unexpectedly, the Jiang Clan actually obtained a small wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect."

The man standing in front of Tai Jiuling spoke with a sigh, quite surprised.

After saying that, he looked at Tai Jiuling and asked.

"You didn't act recklessly, did you?"

Tai Jiuling shook his head.

"I just watched from beginning to end."

"Let alone making a move, I've never even seen their faces."

The man nodded, not saying anything on the topic, but looking outside with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a moment, he spoke slowly.

"It seems that this is not Jiang Clan's greatest reliance."

Tai Jiuling's expression shifted slightly, and he spoke.

"Does this mean that the Jiang Clan has other secrets?"

The man smiled and said.

"They provoked my Tai Clan first, and then they obtained the small wooden plaque of the Huaxia Sect."

"Are they really that certain they'll get the Huaxia Sect's wooden plaque?"

"I'm afraid this is just icing on the cake for them."

Upon hearing this, Tai Jiuling hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

The man glanced at him and said.

Do you have other ideas about this?

Tai Jiuling nodded.

"The Jiang Clan is ultimately just a relatively small power. Even if they harbor secrets, it shouldn't be to an excessive degree."

"I think we gave them too many chances from the beginning, otherwise things wouldn't have turned out this way."

After listening, the man gave him a deep look and said...

"Don't let hatred trap you; your thinking has become somewhat extreme."

Tai Jiuling opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

He couldn't bring himself to refute what the other person was saying.

After all, given the opponent's strength, even if Jiang Tong, the ancestor of the Jiang Clan, went all out, he might not be able to land a blow on him.

Since that's impossible, it's difficult for the other party to understand what happened that day from their perspective.

It wasn't just the pain in my buttocks that hurt, but also the loss of face.

If the Tai Clan gets their revenge, then the matter will be considered closed.

But by doing nothing now, he only makes himself seem even more insignificant within the Tai Clan.

Seeing that Tai Jiuling didn't reply, the man changed the subject and said...

However, this matter remains a knot in your heart.

"Now that the Jiang Clan has obtained the small wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect, it is indeed more difficult for our Tai Clan to directly take action against them."

"But there is still one chance."

No sooner had the man finished speaking than Tai Jiuling immediately spoke up.

"The World in the Painting."

The man nodded.

"The World in the Painting is indeed an opportunity."

"At that time, all those entering will be juniors. While there may be differences in ability among juniors, the competition will be more about who comes from whom."

"If the Jiang Clan sends some unimportant juniors, they can naturally dispose of them as they please."

"If they are sending some important junior members, they will naturally bring along the small wooden plaques from the Huaxia Sect."

"At that time, we were willing to do anything. Even if we couldn't kill them, as long as we forced them to use that small wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect, the Jiang Clan's apparent reliance would be gone."

After listening to what the other party had to say, Tai Jiuling nodded and said...

"I was just thinking the same thing, but I haven't had a chance to say it yet."

While the small wooden plaque of the Huaxia Sect was a valuable asset, it also had its limitations.

That means it can only be used once, and after that, no matter what, sufficient resources must be paid to the Huaxia Sect.

Of course, there is another limitation: the use of these small wooden plaques from the Huaxia Sect is limited to specific occasions.

Using it within this World in the Painting, let alone at the highest level, it would probably only affect the descendants of the Huaxia Sect who enter this World in the Painting, and the impact would be very limited.

Then the man spoke again.

"Since you also have this plan, then go and arrange it there."

"However, in this World in the Painting, our Tai Clan only has five slots, so at most one person can be used for this matter."

"You need to think carefully about how to choose and how to proceed, lest you make any more mistakes and disgrace the Tai Clan."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man disappeared from the scene.

Tai Jiuling also got up and left.

Back in his room, after a short while, he gently shook his head and murmured softly.

"This person is really hard to choose."

Jiang Clan.

Within a few days, the Jiang Clan was bustling with guests.

Many influential groups promptly paid them a visit.

Although it was just a wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect, the current scene makes it seem as if they have found a treasure.

Of course, everyone on the Jiang Clan's side knew that these people's intention in coming to offer congratulations was fake; their real purpose was to ask for experience.

There's only one way to respond to this: be sufficiently sincere and sincerely make up a story, and you can always get rid of them.

On the other side, in the ancestral land of the Jiang Clan, a group of influential and powerful figures were gathered together.

It was Jiang Tong who gathered everyone together this time.

When everyone arrived on the field, seeing that Jiang Tong did not speak immediately, they began to communicate telepathically.

After much thought, I realized there's nothing important lately, except for that World in the Painting.

Many people understood that the reason for calling everyone here was probably to discuss the matter of setting aside a spot for that little guy.

To be honest, they still don't quite understand this matter.

If the other person is truly a reincarnated cultivator, why would they go to a place Land of Contemplation?

After all, that place only brings harm, not benefit, to cultivation.

Moreover, those who spend too much time in Land of Contemplation, or those who grow up directly from such places, are almost impossible to achieve anything in their cultivation in the outside world.

They cut off their own escape route almost from the very beginning.

However, the World in the Painting is an excellent place for cultivation.

If the other party does not have the ability to cultivate in such a place, going in would be like a blind man looking at a painting—willing but unable to do anything.

At this moment, Jiang Tong spoke up.

"Now that everyone's here, let's get straight to the point."

"I've mentioned the World in the Painting before, and I've recently looked into it. It's almost time to select the next generation to enter the World in the Painting."

"Everyone should note that the selection of participants should not be limited to three as usual."

"This time, we'll select just one outstanding student."

As soon as he finished speaking, several puzzled voices rang out.

"How many?"

Then someone was born, and it was confirmed.

"Only one should be confirmed?"

"Does this mean that only one member of our Jiang Clan has entered the World in the Painting?"

Jiang Tong nodded.

The crowd immediately became agitated.

In a short time, although no one said anything directly, judging from the frequent exchanges of glances among them, countless whispers had probably been exchanged.

Jiang Tong glanced at everyone, smiled, and said.

"Please feel free to express your opinions; there's no need to be so formal."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone took a deep breath and asked.

"Ancestor, does this mean that our Jiang Clan will only send one person?"

"And the other two spots are..."

All eyes turned to Jiang Tong.

Jiang Tong up.

Just as you think.

"One spot is a freebie anyway, and two spots make it a Good Things Come in Pairs, so I'll give them both to him."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment, unsure of what to say.

At a time like this, why Good Things Come in Pairs?!
