In closer inspection, one would be able to see a lot of progress in the clan, but Ludwig didn't care as much about this. He was happy the branch advanced, and that mortals arrived, that root was taken, and the foundation established…
But after all, these were things that were planned out in his head already. They only came into reality, but his great imagination already formed a very similar reality. The only big difference in his opinion was that everything happened faster than he thought, but he was fine with this.
The branch was not his after all. Even if he became the steward of the branch, the benefit of this branch wouldn't support him. The first two targets were Wei and Ye, even if they took less benefit, he'd not get enough to support his cultivation fully. For now, he's living on the mice and the wage of the clan, and this was only because he had the high title of an envoy.
