Greed!
Xiatian understood that a person's greed could be magnified infinitely.
Especially for someone like Gu Ling, who had been depressed in the past, when she became greedy, it was very terrifying.
As for the future of the clan, and whether or not Xiatian's identity would be a threat to the aboriginals? These weren't important.
A person like her would never consider these things. In fact, it wasn't just Gu Ling. Everyone else was the same.
If she was given two choices at this moment, the first was for her to have the greatest strength. The second was for her to have nothing and let the clan become stronger.
Which would a normal person choose?
Of course, it would be the first choice.
Although Gu Ling had always thought that Xia Chen's identity was too mysterious and that she had to tell the higher-ups about this kind of person, she also knew that if she told the higher-ups, they wouldn't reward her with anything. However, if she kept Xia Chen, then Xia Chen could help her increase her strength. She didn't need to think about it to know what to choose.
Not only did she have to choose Xiatian, but she also had to choose to protect Xiatian. This was because she knew that once Xiatian was gone, all her previous plans would be useless. Her future might stop at this point.
Once Xiatian was gone, her strength would stop advancing. At her current realm, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to increase her strength.
It could even be said that if she didn't have any opportunities, even if she was ten thousand years old, she would still be at her current realm.
She wouldn't be able to improve even half a step.
This was her current realm.
She definitely didn't want to accept her fate.
She was very clear that no matter how strong the clan was in the future, it couldn't change their fate. This was because the aboriginals had been very cowardly all these years. All the descendants of the aboriginals weren't allowed to leave the aboriginals. Even if they did, they had to be recorded. If they didn't return after the time limit, the aboriginals would send experts to capture them.
Even marriage within the clan was supported. Although this maintained the purity of the bloodline, it caused many deformities and mental retardations in the next generation.
Moreover, this number was still increasing.
She was unwilling to accept her fate. Moreover, she knew that only when her strength reached a certain level would she have the right to speak. Only then would she be able to control her own destiny.
For example, if they were to fight for the jade list with all their might, as long as they could enter the top 50 of the jade list, they would no longer be bound by their family. They would no longer need to be betrothed before they were born, and no one would be able to control them.
But at the same time, they were also shackled.
However, now that she was on the Phoenix List, her status and treatment were even more different.
Now, she could even remain single for the rest of her life. Moreover, she could also go out to find someone she liked and bring him back to the family. She had to bring him back to the family and absolutely couldn't leave him outside.
This was the rule of the ancient race.
However, there were still more restraints on her body.
Only the first place on the list would be different. That would mean that they would have the treatment of an elder.
At that time, no one in the Ancient Clan dared to do anything to her.
Therefore, her current goal was to get first place on the Phoenix List.
This first place was very important to her.
The competition was over!
The cheers in the crowd gradually stopped. This competition had helped Gu Ling, but it could be said that the Ancient Clan's Fifth Miss' reputation had been ruined.
In the past, no matter where she went, she would always look down on others, let alone her suitors.
But now, she felt that she no longer had the face to face anyone.
"Gu Ling, I will definitely not let you off!" The Fifth Miss said angrily.
"Is that so? But this is what I wanted to say to you. You better not challenge others to level up, because once you enter the Phoenix List, I will be able to do anything to you. Whatever you wanted to do to me back then, I will return it to you. "With that, Gu Ling turned around and left.
Previously, the Fifth Miss wanted Gu Ling to never be able to raise her head again. She had ordered people to hit Gu Ling repeatedly, tormenting her over and over again.
But now, Gu Ling actually said that she would do the same to her.
"Gu Ling, my sister is the Second Miss!" The Fifth Miss said angrily.
Gu Ling's body paused slightly. She turned her head gently and looked at the Fifth Miss. "Soon, he won't be."
Huh?!
Hearing Gu Ling's words, the Fifth Miss was stunned.
But Gu Ling had already left.
"Brother, where do you live? You're leaving just like that? " The people beside Xiatian Asked. It was rare for them to meet such an open-minded person like Xiatian. Seeing that Xiatian was about to leave, they hurriedly went forward.
"I'll look for you guys to drink when I have the chance." Xiatian smiled and walked forward.
This time, after leaving the inner courtyard of the Ancient Clan, he basically understood the general situation of the Ancient Clan. This understanding would be very useful to him.
Next, he would head out and wait for Gu Ling's summons at the Hei Family.
Indeed.
The next morning, Gu Ling came to look for Xiatian.
This time, she came in the day.
Because Gu Ling's identity was no longer ordinary, everyone had to give her face. Naturally, no one would dare to ask about Xiatian, and no one would go to her courtyard to find trouble.
"Why are you looking for me again?" Xiatian Asked.
"I'm now the fifth Miss on the Phoenix Leaderboard." Gu Ling said.
"Congratulations." Xiatian replied.
"Ugly slave, I won't beat around the bush with our relationship. I want to be the first on the Phoenix Leaderboard." Gu Ling said.
"Oh!" Xiatian said casually.
"That's all?" Gu Ling Asked.
"Of course." Xiatian said.
"Then come." Gu Ling said.
"Come? What for? Do you think I'm a god? I only said yes, but I'm not someone with great ability. I can only tell you the method. As for how to do it, it's up to you. "Xiatian said.
"How?" Gu Ling Asked hurriedly.
"First, you need some medicinal herbs." Xiatian said.
"That's easy."
"Easy your sister. Am I done?" Xiatian Asked.
"You can do my sister if you want. I have more than 80,000 sisters. Which one do you want? I can satisfy you. As long as it can increase my strength, I can do all of them. "Gu Ling said seriously.
When Xiatian heard this, he broke down completely. "Let me finish!"
"Oh!" Gu Ling nodded.
"First, I need some medicinal herbs. These herbs are very precious. There are a total of ten of them, and they are all priceless. I'll write them down for you later. Second, I need a very quiet courtyard with a red rank. Third, I want the leaf of the ancient race!" Xiatian said.
"What? The leaf of the ancient race? Are you crazy?! "Gu Ling looked at Xiatian in shock.
