Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three

The restaurant was filled with a cacophony of voices, and the Yu family members made no response after announcing the list and stepping down from the platform.

"Bai Miao, come back to the Jiang family with me quickly."

Grandpa Jiao, who was surrounded by women on both sides, was stunned for a moment before grabbing Second Master Yin, who was still playing hide-and-seek.

He activated his card, summoning a huge red cloud, and headed straight for the Jiang family with Yin Changfeng and Bai Miao.

At this moment, Bai Miao was very clear that the old man who looked very much like Jiao Beiyao was not Jiao Beiyao.

The man who looks very much like Yin Changfeng, Master Yin, is not actually Yin Changfeng.

They arrived at the Jiang family together, and the news that there were actually two Jiang Lantern Goddesses this year, and that they were both women from the Jiang family, sent shockwaves through the Jiang household.

Grandpa Jiao and Second Master Yin rushed into the study to discuss matters with Master Jiang, who had just woken up. Bai Miao wanted to enter the study but was blocked by an invisible force.

Following the servants' directions, he arrived at the second young lady's residence, where the servants and maids were all weeping.

Being chosen as the Goddess of the River Lantern is a great honor, but the price of becoming the Goddess of the River Lantern is never being able to return home.

Jiang Yuexin treated her servants very well, and they were all reluctant to be separated from her. Upon hearing the news, they were both happy and sad.

"Young Master! Please stop and wait for us to announce your arrival!"

Bai Miao rushed into the courtyard, ignoring the horrified looks of the servants, found Xiao Cui who was crying the most pitifully, lifted her up from the ground, and said coldly:

"Xiao Cui, all of this is your memory, isn't it? It's about the River Lantern Festival, and about the Jiang family."

Xiao Cui, who had been crying uncontrollably, suppressed her grief, her expression becoming expressionless, as if she had been stripped of her humanity.

"As expected of a descendant of the Jiang family, you figured out the situation so quickly. With a descendant like you, Miss must be very pleased."

All the maids and servants in the room, including the second young lady, melted away like clay sculptures. Bai Miao realized that his perspective was constantly rising, independent of the Jiang family, and even outside of Xiao Cui's memory.

Jiao Dalang and Yin Erlang didn't know what they talked about with Master Jiang until the sky was turning blue before they left the study.

From Bai Miao's perspective, time flew by, and the atmosphere inside and outside the Jiang family had been tense ever since the list was announced that day.

The servants were very careful, even when walking, they had to be careful not to step too hard and upset their master.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang hosted numerous banquets, during which they greatly praised their two daughters, claiming that it was a blessing for their daughters to preside over the sacrificial ceremony, and also an honor for the Jiang family.

Jiang Zhiyue and Jiang Yuexin also looked extremely honored.

The Yu family also visited the Jiang residence quite a few times during this period, sometimes to keep appointments, and sometimes just for casual conversation.

The person who arrived was the same imposing man who had announced the names of Jiang Zhiyue and Jiang Yuexin.

Time seemed to be compressed infinitely in Bai Miao's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the River Lantern Festival.

As dusk fell, the river lanterns throughout the city reflected a rosy glow in the sky.

Every household in Yujiang City carried their own river lanterns and went out to follow the procession heading towards Yujiangkou, moving forward in silence.

The child looked around curiously, a sight rarely seen in a lifetime.

The river lanterns of the wealthy were resplendent in gold and carried steadily by the servants of the household, with the men riding horses and the women riding in sedan chairs.

The Jiang family residence was extremely lively. Jiang Zhiyue and Jiang Yuexin, dressed in colorful gowns, left the mansion together and boarded a hundred-meter-long dragon boat.

Before the dragon boat was launched into the water, it was carried by a team composed of the Yu and Jiang families to the sacrificial altar on the riverbank.

When the dragon boat arrived at the riverbank, maids dressed in colorful clothes danced a sacrificial dance around the altar.

As fireworks lit up the sky, the dragon boat entered the water, with Jiang Zhiyue and Jiang Yuexin standing at the bow.

It seemed as if a firework had fallen into Yujiang City, causing sparks to burst in the crowd.

Countless Yujiang residents who had come to witness the ceremony fled in panic. The Jiang family, the Jiao family, the Yin family, and many other families in Yujiang City, besides the Yu family, all turned their attention to the Yu family.

The "Yu" in Yujiangcheng refers to the Yu family, which shows that the Yu family in Yujiangcheng has always been the undisputed authority.

The list of the River Lantern Goddesses for each year's River Lantern Festival is decided by the Yu family.

The only logic behind the decision to appoint Jiangdeng Niangniang was whether this family threatened the Yu family's position.

If any family rises to prominence within a span of eighteen years, their daughter will undoubtedly be the next candidate for the title of Lady Jiangdeng.

The Yu family is powerful, and other families dare not speak out against them. Now they have finally accumulated enough strength to bring down the Yu family.

The Yu family responded quickly, and countless card masters engaged in chaotic battles throughout Yujiang City.

Lightning flashed amidst the beautiful glow of the river lanterns, while the echoing chants of Buddhist hymns drowned out the clashing of weapons, the roar of explosions, and the wails of agony from every household.

No matter how powerful the Yu family is, it cannot withstand the fact that all the other families in Yujiang City regard it as an enemy and attack it together.

The Yu family quickly fell into ruin, and the Yu family patriarch's mournful voice broke through the chanting.

"You will regret this! You will definitely regret this! My Yu family presided over the River Lantern Festival to ensure the peace of Yujiang City! You have destroyed my Yu family, and today Yujiang City will be buried with my Yu family."

He was met with Master Jiang's jade-like palm.

The palm pierced through the back of the Yu family patriarch, crushing his heart.

The entire Yu family was executed. Before the people of the city could celebrate, a huge hole appeared in the sky above Yujiangkou, and a terrifying dragon head poked its head out from it.

This is the evil dragon that has been threatening the safety of Yujiang City. The Yu family has a pact with the evil dragon, and as long as they offer tribute to the evil dragon regularly, the evil dragon will not invade.

Now that the Yu family is destroyed and the oath is broken, an evil dragon has emerged from the sea, vowing to annihilate Yu Jiang.

Each family fought the evil dragon for seven days and seven nights, and in the end, the Jiang sisters sacrificed their lives to kill the evil dragon.

However, the evil dragon's vitality was extremely strong, and its body after death corrupted the Jiang sisters, assimilating them.

To avoid harming Yu Jiangcheng after being assimilated by the evil dragon, the Jiang sisters took the initiative to open up a spiritual realm and distance themselves from the mortal world.

This is the origin of the name "Jiangdeng Lingjing".

The Jiang sisters then slept in the spiritual realm for many years, until nearly a century later when they finally wrested back control from the evil dragon's will.

They established contact with the outside world and proactively opened the Jiangdeng Spirit Realm to allow geniuses from the outside world to enter.

If they can pass the test of the two sisters, they will be able to obtain the spiritual materials that grow in the spiritual realm from the river lantern spiritual realm, or the calamity and disaster tools that are brought into the spiritual realm along with the dragon boat.

When Bai Miao woke up, he found himself in a hollowed-out cabin, with bones as beams and skin as walls.

Through the gap in the membrane, Bai Miao saw Jiao Beiyao in the adjacent cabin, his face pale, seemingly trying his best to endure something.

On the other side of the cabin, Yin Changfeng collapsed to the ground, with a large amount of blood seeping out from beneath him.

Bai Miao tried to push open the door to his cabin, but found that the door, made of bones, remained motionless.

Even when he used his psychic powers and activated the third psychic technique, "Force to Uproot a Mountain," he still couldn't move it.

"Where...where am I?"

Yin Changfeng's weak voice rang out, and he opened his eyes with difficulty, meeting Bai Miao's gaze.

"Hey, are you still alive?"
