Li Mu suddenly changed his attitude and withdrew from the election, and publicly chose to support Jiang Yuer. According to Li Mu, he was impressed by Jiang Yuer. This statement may be able to deceive ordinary palace members, but Yao Xiuqi and others would not think that this matter is so simple.
They were already very suspicious when Chen Siqi helped Jiang Yuer just now, and now Li Mu has done this again. They absolutely don't believe that there is no inside story between Li Mu and his sister and Jiang Yuer.
However, they did not care about this matter. After all, political alliances were very common, and they had absorbed many opponents through various means over the years.
As Liu Yuanbai announced the start of voting, the portraits of the candidates appeared in the sky, and below the portraits were their names and campaign ideas.
Above their portraits, golden particles began to gather. These were the votes cast for them by the hall members.
The people from the six major forces were now placed in the various branch halls they had taken over, staring closely at each hall member. After all, the voting was secret, and verbal promises from those who said they supported their candidates were far from enough. They had to be watched. Even if they could not supervise their voting, they could at least give them some deterrence, right?
At the beginning, the golden particles on the heads of the candidates were sparse, but not long after, dense golden particles gathered towards the candidates like sand, and actually formed a beam of light above their heads. Of course, the candidates mentioned here were only Ji Haoxuan and several other candidates from the six major forces, and the rest of them who were not there for show did not even get a single vote.
Li Mu is fine, as he had previously agreed not to participate in the election, so naturally no one would waste their votes on him. However, the voting situation of candidates other than the six major forces is a little difficult to understand.
Even if these people are not very good, they are still qualified as candidates. The condition for running for election is that in addition to being a member of Lingxiao Palace, they must also have the support of more than half of the members of a branch palace. At the time of voting now, it is impossible that they would not have a single vote, right?
"Haha, aren't you fellow Taoists too cautious? You still use this trick?" Yao Xiuqi glanced at the candidates including Ji Haoxuan calmly, and said meaningfully.
"Hehe, although I, Ji Haoxuan, do things in a domineering way, I never do anything sneaky." Ji Haoxuan sneered.
"Brother Yao, don't cry thief. We all know each other. I'm afraid you're the only one who can do something like hiding the tickets, right? Don't you think so?" Pang Liang said sarcastically.
"Brother Pang Liang, it seems that you have a deep prejudice against me! Yes, I was indeed a little ignorant in the past, and sometimes I did things without knowing the limits. I don't know how I offended you in the past? If so, then I would like to apologize to you here." Yao Xiuqi said sincerely, and bowed solemnly to Pang Liang.
"No, no, no, how can I deserve such a big gift from you, Young Master Yao? It's me who was rude and offended you. I should apologize." Pang Liang quickly supported Yao Xiuqi from a distance. Although he didn't believe that Yao Xiuqi had really changed, there were so many people watching at this critical moment of voting, and he didn't want people to misunderstand anything. After all, he had always demonstrated the principle of equality for all in Lingxiao Palace in front of the palace members over the years. What was the matter with Yao Xiuqi bowing to him now?
After a pause, Pang Liang smiled as if intentionally or unintentionally and said, "Since Elder Haoxuan didn't hide the tickets, and Brother Yao you didn't hide the tickets either, could it be that Daoist Fellow Yu'er or Daoist Fellow Ruxuan did it?"
However, Jiang Yuer and Sun Ruxuan ignored Pang Liang. They were so nervous that they had no intention of arguing with Pang Liang.
Seeing this, Pang Liang smiled bitterly: "Of course, I believe that Daoist Fellow Yu'er and Daoist Fellow Ruxuan are not such people."
"Then, the only one who has this ability is you, Brother Su, you hid it well enough!" Pang Liang suddenly looked at Su Hong with sharp eyes.
In response, Su Hong said unhappily: "Haven't I and my disciples of the Tianri Palace been under your surveillance all these years?"
Pang Liang sneered: "Changfeng Territory is your old nest, who knows if you have any backup plan?"
Su Hong shook his head and said calmly: "Brother Pang, the voting has already begun. What's the point of you speculating now? Let's just wait for the results."
Pang Liang wanted to refute something after hearing this, but when he saw that Ji Haoxuan, Yao Xiuqi and others looked uninterested, he immediately lost interest. Of course, he knew that it was meaningless to dwell on these things at this time, but there were too many members of Lingxiao Palace, and all the votes would definitely not be cast in a short period of time. Instead of waiting anxiously, it would be better to find something to divert his attention, and maybe there would be other gains. But who would have thought that others would not cooperate, and even Ji Haoxuan was so calm, which made him feel like a clown, so he had to turn his attention back to the voting statistics table in the sky.
At this time, Jiang Yu, who saw that he did not have an advantage in votes, suddenly sent a message to Chen Siqi: "Senior, please analyze who is most likely to be the one hiding the votes?"
"How should I know that?" Chen Siqi said unhappily.
"Yes, these people are all smart people. Anyone could be involved, or maybe all of them are involved." Jiang Yuer murmured.
"Maybe, perhaps." Chen Siqi replied.
Looking at the number of votes she received, Jiang Yuer frowned. If this trend continued, her hope of being elected as the Palace Master would be dashed. As of now, the one with the most votes was Yao Xiuqi, followed closely by Ji Haoxuan, who was not much behind Yao Xiuqi and even surpassed Yao Xiuqi from time to time. After that, it was Jiang Yuer herself. Although she was third now, she was not much behind Pang Liang and Sun Ruxuan who were fourth.
As for Su Hong, his data is quite dismal. If Ji Haoxuan and Yao Xiuqi are considered the first echelon, Jiang Yuer and the other two are now considered the second echelon. Su Hong is not even qualified to enter the third echelon. The gap between him and Jiang Yuer and the other two in the second echelon is really too big. I don't know where he got the courage to participate in the election. Isn't this a joke?
"Su Hong, you've been holding it in for so long, I thought you were going to come up with some big move? Just this?" Ji Haoxuan couldn't help but mock Su Hong.
Su Hong didn't care and said with a smile: "The most important thing is to participate. But Elder Haoxuan, I don't think you can win for sure now. You still need to work harder!"
Ji Haoxuan glanced at his vote data, sneered, and said in a deep voice: "Surpass him!"
As soon as Ji Haoxuan finished speaking, the data above his head rose rapidly, and soon he left Yao Xiuqi far behind.
"Haha~! What do you think? Su Hong, the votes I just got are more than all your current votes combined, right?" Ji Haoxuan laughed arrogantly and looked at Yao Xiuqi provocatively.
