"Is her being a candidate getting in your way?"
"Are you in cahoots with that senior sister?"
"Are you plotting to seize the position of Palace Master?"
"Do you want to become the palace master yourself?"
Do you think the current palace master is not qualified?
"Are you going to betray the Misty Palace?"
"Are you...?"
The First Elder was so enraged by Dongfang Mian's words that his blood vessels almost burst. He interrupted her fiercely, saying, "Yes, I want to be the Palace Master. Why should the Yu family always occupy the position of Palace Master? I want everyone to know that I am the one who should sit in the position of Palace Master."
After the Grand Elder roared, the entire Misty Palace fell silent, and everyone looked at her with incredulous eyes.
The elder regretted her words immediately, but there was no going back once they were spoken, so she simply said what she had always wanted to say.
"It was the same back then. I worked so hard to complete the mission, but I couldn't compete with her innate direct lineage. Why? I was clearly more powerful than her, so why could she become the palace master while I could only be a worthless elder."
"Palace Master, do you think being an elder of your Misty Palace requires eating shit?"
"How could that be? We're not bullies."
"Oh~ then why is this elder spewing filth from his mouth?"
"Sigh~ I can't stop her from eating it if she insists on it~"
"I see~"
Neither Dongfang Mian nor the Palace Master of Piaomiao paid any attention to the Grand Elder, and they each launched into a string of nonsensical ramblings.
"You despicable woman! So all these years you've pretended to be virtuous, but your heart is actually black. Today you finally couldn't hold back and showed your true colors," the elder said viciously.
Dongfang Mian was speechless. Was this elder crazy? Saying she ate shit made him think she was heartless, but he hadn't even said he would drown her in the cesspool.
"Do you think you, a Grand Sage Master, can shake my position?" the Misty Palace Master asked with interest.
"Of course not! Unless she's lost her mind. There are so many people here, there must be some of her accomplices. Step forward now, your Grand Elder is leading you in a rebellion!"
Dongfang Mian shouted excitedly; anyone who didn't know better would think she was about to rebel.
A silence fell over the crowd, and no one spoke.
At this moment, the Grand Elder suddenly calmed down and said, "Come out, everyone. Now that things have come to this point, there's no need to hide anything anymore."
Upon hearing this, a commotion arose among the crowd. Amidst the suspicious glances of the group, a small group of people quietly walked behind the Grand Elder.
"Third Elder, Fifth Elder, Eighth Elder, Protector of the Hall of Rites, Protector of the Academy, Protector of the Secret Realm, and... seven out of the candidates for the Fairy of the Misty Realm are actually your people. You really have been planning this for a long time."
The Palace Mistress of the Misty Palace glanced indifferently at the crowd who had stepped forward, calling out each name one by one. Under her gaze, the crowd's eyes darted away.
Yu Feiluan was even more shocked to see the other candidate fairies who had been laughing and joking with her just a few days ago now looking at her and her mother with sinister eyes. Her heart suffered an indescribable blow.
His once bright and lively eyes dimmed, and only when he saw Dongfang Mian did a glimmer of hope rise again.
"Tsk tsk, although there are all kinds of birds in a big forest, there is also a saying that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. When you fools stood up, did you not think about the possibility that the elder you relied on would fail?"
