Chapter 797 Lu Yuan·Leinger! [2 Updates]
The holy war took place in a very long time ago.
So long ago, cities around the world were still in a state of technological backwardness in ancient times.
Since Ling Mianxi perished after the Holy War, she has been reincarnated time and time again, and has finally returned in this life.
Therefore, the residents of the World City were completely unfamiliar with the title of "Sage's Lover".
But the unique aura of a sage cannot be imitated.
Another sage!
Jiang Ran showed off to Xize: "See this? This is my sister."
Xize glanced at him and said slowly, "The chariot is still my brother."
The two were mistaken by the surrounding residents for people with severe chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).
Shaluo recognized Ling Mianxi's face at a glance.
She was one of the two people who stopped her that night.
They truly are a pair of wise lovers!
"Lover, what do you mean?" Sara's eyes darkened slightly. "Why don't we go back to the Sage's Abode first?"
"I don't like getting involved in these kinds of things," Ling Mianxi said with her hands behind her back and a slight smile. "I mainly want to go against you."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
The election for patriarch is not over yet, and the citywide live broadcast continues.
Everyone heard it clearly.
In the hearts of the residents of the World City, the Sage Queen holds the highest position, and the Sage Magician holds the second highest position.
Most of the other sages were regarded as legends by them.
Now, the Sage's Lover has openly challenged the Sage Queen!
"As for why we didn't go back to the Sage's Academy first?" Ling Mianxi's smile vanished, her tone icy cold. "What, are you waiting for a piece of trash like you to come and kill me?"
Sara's pupils contracted, and she shouted sharply, "How dare you!"
How dare they speak to her like that in front of the entire city!
"Tch." Ling Mianxi ignored Sha Luo and sat down next to Qin Lingyu. "What is that?"
The residents didn't dare to speak, or even lift their heads.
How dare they interfere in matters between wise men?
Here, the priestess arrived to find this confrontational scene unfolding.
She paused for a moment, somewhat surprised.
“Priestess, you’ve arrived.” Sara’s tone softened slightly. “The final vote is underway, and it’s your turn.”
Before coming, the priestess only knew that there would be a vote, but she really didn't expect so many sages to come.
She glanced at Norton, then at Sharo.
After hesitating for a while, the priestess sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I won't vote. I abstain."
Sara's eyes flickered slightly: "A priestess?"
The priestess did not change her mind and shook her head again: "I'm sorry."
The score remains 5-4.
Shiloh's smile vanished completely.
This score means that she has completely lost to Ying Zijing.
"You call this your backing?" Shiloh gritted her teeth. "You're just lucky!"
The reasons given by the wise men who voted for Ying Zijin were all increasingly bizarre.
Especially the wise lover.
Is the relationship between Ying Zijing and the Sage as close as that between her and the Empress?
Ying Zijing seemed to have just woken up. She rubbed her ears, opened her eyes, and asked politely, "Did you talk to me?"
Hilo punched empty air, furious: "You..."
"Can we announce the results now?" Qin Lingyu raised an eyebrow. "Shaluo, don't let everyone waste their time here with you."
She was still looking forward to playing a few rounds of mahjong with the housekeeper.
"Don't be in such a hurry." Sara sneered. "Moon, your sister hasn't arrived yet, so nothing is clear yet."
The scene was completely silent.
Even the most clueless residents could see it.
Today is not only an election for the patriarch of the Lengel family, but also a fierce contest between wise men.
It is clear that the Academy of Sages is now divided into two factions.
This election is no longer something the general public can participate in.
Qin Lingyu's expression changed: "Yaoguang..."
Yu Xuesheng took her hand: "Xiaoyu."
Qin Lingyu shook her head: "It's nothing."

Meanwhile, Yao Guang received a message from the tower.
After she finished reading, she clicked her tongue and turned to ask, "Zhou Yan, are you going?"
The man sat there cross-legged, and he simply blinked in refusal.
“Alright, I’ll go join in the fun.” Yao Guang jumped off the table. “Anyway, whoever is the patriarch won’t affect our plans.”
At a time like this, they're still arguing so fiercely over a mere patriarch.
Yao Guang took a few steps and suddenly stopped: "By the way, do you remember the poison S-23?"
Zhou Yan nodded slowly and casually: "I remember, the first person to test the drug was a Chinese."
“Yes, that’s Fu Liuying’s father,” Yao Guang said. “We are the only ones who have S-23, but it has been obsolete for many years. However, this poison reappeared in the City of the World a few days ago.”
She briefly recounted the story of Old Madam Yu.
Zhou Yan asked in surprise, "Who did this?"
“We don’t know who made the poison, but it must have been Fu Liuying’s son who administered it, and he must be a martial arts practitioner.” Yao Guang narrowed his eyes slightly. “I can also directly determine that he was one of the people who fought the tower outside the city at that time.”
“I checked, and he’s also very close to the young lady of the Leinger family. So they must both be ancient martial arts practitioners, and their ancient martial arts cultivation is not low. I’d conservatively estimate it to be three hundred years.”
Yao Guang didn't have time to investigate why Fu Yunshen and Ying Zijin were able to possess such profound ancient martial arts skills at such a young age.
Since she has made that deduction, it must be the truth; the rest of the process is not important.
They went to hunt down Fu Liuying because they were worried that Fu Liuying was a sage.
They had been paying attention to events on the seven continents and four oceans, so naturally they knew that Fu Yunshen was Fu Liuying's son after Old Master Fu died.
They haven't made any moves because they pose no threat.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan finally made a move, his voice low and cold: "Are you sure?"
“Absolutely certain.” Yao Guang smiled. “The New Year’s ceremony is coming soon. Let’s deal with these two first, and then we can deal with the other sages.”
She paused for a moment, then added, "I'm not a combat-type sage, so I'll have to ask you to join forces with the tower. This time, don't hold back your strength, and absolutely don't underestimate their abilities."
Zhou Yan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
**
Here at the campaign site.
Time ticked by, and the standoff reached a fever pitch.
"Are you all waiting for me?" A few minutes later, Yao Guang jumped down from the roof of the villa next door. "Alright, I'm here."
Sage Star!
Yao Guang strode over and sat down beside the tower without even glancing at Qin Lingyu.
Ten sages!
Jiang Ran couldn't help but gasp: "Dude, pinch me, am I going blind?"
Before coming to the City of the World, didn't everyone say that sages are gods and can never be seen?
Why are they like cabbages now?
"Don't call me brother." Xize smiled. "I've been following the boss for hundreds of years, and I'm almost three hundred years old. You little brat, who's your brother?"
"I've already told you to study history properly. I've also studied your Chinese history textbooks. Didn't you hear me when we were learning about the Renaissance?"
Jiang Ran: "..."
Damn, his worldview is so shattered that it can't be pieced back together.
What kind of freaks are he surrounded by?!
"Vote, right?" Yao Guang casually said, playing with her hair. "Then she'll do."
The person she was referring to was Shiloh.
Hilo was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord Star! Thank you so much for your appreciation!"
5:5.
It ended in a tie once again.
This was not only beyond Hilo's expectations, but also completely unexpected for Sara.
Sha Luo's brows were furrowed tightly.
The priestess was soft-hearted and did not want to get involved in this power struggle.
There's no way to change the rules now.
The words have already been spoken; to change them now would be to completely break the people's trust.
Sara pressed her temples and exhaled slowly: "Who else is in the City of the World?"
Louis thought for a moment: "Zhou Yan should be here, but he can't possibly get involved in this kind of thing."
The thirteenth of the Twenty-Two Sages, the Hanged Man, who spoke during the day.
The Hanged man.
Upon hearing this title, Yao Guang raised her head and let out a very soft sneer.
It's good enough that she came to visit; we're not even hoping that Zhou Yan would come.
That's a really wild idea.
“Then let’s postpone this election for now.” Sara finally spoke, raising her voice, “Gentlemen, the Sage’s Council is discussing this internally, and afterwards—”
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a loud "bang".
Qin Lingyu kicked the table over.
Qin Lingyan covered her face.
His sister has such a bad temper; I don't know how his brother-in-law can stand it.
Sara's face turned ashen: "Moon, what are you doing?"
"Shaluo." Qin Lingyu's gaze was icy. "You're the one who said you'd choose, and you're the one who didn't. Are your words, you Sage Queen, just empty talk?"
"How do you decide a tie?" Sara coldly retorted. "Are you going to find someone else to vote now? Besides postponing it, do you have a better solution?"
"There's no need to postpone it."
A deep voice sounded, tinged with a sickly hoarseness and weariness.
"According to the regulations, the former head of the family also has the right to vote."
The top three players on the monthly ticket ranking will get an extra chapter next month!
Xiao and Xiang have arrived. We're still a little short on Q-Reader; the votes expire at the end of the month, so if you don't vote now, they'll be cleared out.
