Chapter 856 Three votes in favor, three votes against!
"Brother Ye, aren't you really going to wait for the commuter bus that will arrive in the evening to leave? If you continue to walk forward like this, it will be somewhat dangerous." Xu Yue hurriedly reminded Ye Mu when she saw him about to leave.
"Don't worry."
Ye Mu was still holding the hand of the Ethereal Empress, and in an instant, the two of them were already a hundred meters away.
Xu Yue watched the two figures getting farther and farther away, and she seemed to have a self-deprecating smile. "It seems that I was worrying too much. Ye Mu has left Earth before, and he must have had a great opportunity. Judging from his speed, his cultivation level has at least exceeded the third level."
"Judging from his aura, he might already be at the fifth rank."
At this time, a lame old man walked out of the room slowly.
"Is he at the fifth rank?"
Xu Yue was slightly stunned. "Doesn't that mean that he has already discovered your existence but hasn't pointed it out?"
"Including the little girl next to him, I'm afraid she is not a good person either." The lame old man squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Mu and Kong Ling, whose backs could no longer be seen.
"call out!"
At the same time, Ye Mu and Kong Ling had already set up a flying cloud boat and were flying at low altitude towards the north.
They did not choose to take out the flying cloud boat in front of Xu Yue, simply because they did not want others to know about the secret treasure on him. The saying "wealth should not be shown off" is exactly this truth.
Of course, Ye Mu could choose to wrap himself in the energy of purple-gold lightning and fly, but that would make him even more of a focus for everyone.
So, he decided to keep a low profile for the time being and arrived at Yanhuang Pavilion in the imperial capital to make a long-term plan.
at the same time.
Imperial capital, Yanhuang Pavilion.
At a long oval table in a conference room, sat several powerful men and women.
The man sitting in the main seat was Qingtian, one of the former founders of the Dragon Group.
He looked at everyone with a smile and said, "I've gathered everyone here mainly to discuss the arrangements for Ye Mu's return. Everyone, please express your opinions."
"Fan Chan, your good disciple just came back?"
The first person to speak was an old man with white hair and a youthful face.
His fingers drummed repeatedly on the conference table, his face grim and his tone revealing displeasure. "It's already too late for him to come back now. What's he even coming back for?"
"Yes, Old Fan, your disciple once traveled far to the Tianxuan Realm. He thought he would be able to come back as soon as possible to help us deal with the revival of spiritual energy. But now, after our unremitting exploration and efforts, the situation in our China has stabilized. We no longer need an outsider pointing fingers." Another middle-aged woman in red soft armor, holding a cigarette in her hand, pointed at Fan Chan while looking down on Ye Mu who had not arrived yet.
"Qu Mang, Yan Hua, you two are talking without any hesitation."
Fan Chan, who had been planning to speak last, couldn't control his emotions and stood up. "If you two hadn't followed my advice, how could you have been the first to receive this great opportunity during the spiritual energy revival? Now that you're sitting here, not only are you not grateful at all, but you're even talking about my beloved disciple behind my back like this?"
"Brother Fan Chan, please don't misunderstand."
Qu Mang smiled politely, his hands still tapping on the conference table. "It's true that you have a lot to do with Yan Hua and I's current achievements, but so what? Just because we're grateful to you doesn't mean we're also grateful to your beloved disciple Ye Mu, right?"
"Brother Fan, Qu Mang's words are rough but true. Of course, I think the same thing."
At this moment, Yan Hua took a deep drag on his cigarette, a cloud of smoke curling above the conference table. "Just imagine, if we hadn't been able to control the situation, we would have been desperate for your beloved disciple Ye Mu to show up. But now it's different. After our independent exploration, we've reached a very high level, close to a stable state. And if your disciple comes back now and wants to make decisions, what will happen?"
“Hehehe!”
Fan Chan sneered repeatedly.
He stared at Qu Mang and Yan Hua, and finally chose to remain silent. However, his sharp eyes looked at Qingtian who was sitting in the main seat.
He no longer distinguished anything, there was no real meaning.
He didn't need these people to be grateful to him. He just needed everyone to show the proper respect and attitude after Ye Mu arrived!
"Qu Mang, be quiet."
As one of the founders of the former Dragon Group and now the head of the Yanhuang Pavilion, Qingtian still has his authority. "Yan Hua, put out your cigarette."
Qu Mang naturally put away his fingers and stopped tapping the conference table.
Yan Hua was also very tactful and quickly put out the cigarette.
"call……"
Qingtian was the first to let out a long sigh. "Old Qu, Yan Hua, do you two know that Yu Gong, Fan Chan, and Ye Mu, the disciple, played a crucial and significant role in the transformation of our country and made invaluable contributions. Yu Gong, I personally have a good relationship with them as master and disciple. I suggest that Ye Mu take on the position of Chief Elder after he returns."
Chief Elder?
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Qingtian.
A gleam of light flashed in Fan Chan's eyes, and he felt relieved.
Xingchen and Lanyue, who had never spoken, also looked at each other and nodded.
They and Qingtian were both founders of the former Dragon Group. They have a good relationship with Ye Mu and Fan Chan, and now serve as deputy leaders.
As for the expressions in Qu Mang and Yan Hua's eyes, they showed doubts one after another.
Including the two young men sitting in the corner, they also had unpredictable expressions in their eyes.
"I'm just making a suggestion. The final decision will be made by your vote. To be fair, I will abstain from voting." Qingtian serves as the leader of the pavilion, and neither side wants to offend him.
"I support it." Xingchen grinned and raised his hand to express his support.
Lan Yue also raised her hand and said, "Ye Mu has returned from the Tianxuan Realm and must have brought some secrets that no one knows about. I have no objection to him being the chief elder."
"Of course." Fan Chan raised his head and smiled insincerely.
Including his vote, there are now three votes supporting Ye Mu as the chief elder.
"I veto." Qu Mang hadn't finished speaking.
Yan Hua also shook her head immediately, "I object too."
Everyone had anticipated their veto, and they all looked at the two young men sitting in the corner.
"The Earth has been hit by a sudden change this time, and we all worked together to turn the tide. This was not easy to come by."
One of the young men, Xue Jing, gave Qu Mang a thumbs-up. "This time, Elder Qu's Gene Industry Group has played a crucial role in protecting humans from genetic mutations caused by spiritual energy. They've made an invaluable contribution. As for Ye Mu, I've heard of him before, but he made outstanding contributions before the new era and hasn't achieved anything yet. Proposing him as the Chief Elder is inadvisable."
"Thank you Elder Xue Jing for your support." Qu Mang smiled at each other.
Now, there are also three votes opposing Ye Mu's appointment as the chief elder.
"Elder Shi Yu, what about you?" Fan Chan looked very unhappy, and looked at the last young man with a grim face.
"I abstain too."
Shi Yu was dressed like a Buddhist monk. He raised his bright head and looked around at everyone without any joy or worry.
Whether it is Xue Jing or Shi Yu, they are both newly rising talents. After joining the Yanhuang Pavilion, they also serve as elders.
Now, three votes in favor and three votes against, forming an opposing side.
"In that case, we can only wait for Elder Chu to arrive and vote."
At this time, Qingtian knocked lightly on the conference table and said, "No matter what the result is, I don't want anyone to be upset with each other. The overall situation is the most important thing."
