"Haha, Brother Ji, we meet again." Li Mu said with a smile, "Today, I am here to sign up for the election of Palace Master. Brother Ji, you won't be unwelcome, right?"
"Haha! What a joke! Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? How dare you call me your brother? You even dream of participating in the election. How can a peasant like you get your hands on the position of Palace Master?" Ji Haoxuan mocked. He looked down on Li Mu from the bottom of his heart. He had someone check it out long ago. Li Mu didn't have any background. The power behind him was not even on the list of first-rate forces in the Qiongzu Universe, let alone compared with his Ji family.
In this regard, Li Mu had no intention of engaging in an argument with Ji Haoxuan, and directly showed the branch hall gold foil in his hand, which was also engraved with the names of the hall members.
"According to the Palace Master election rules, I am eligible to participate in the election. Now, I formally announce my participation in the election." Li Mu said lightly. This sentence did not mean to explain to Ji Haoxuan, but more like a notification.
Ji Haoxuan laughed in anger, and used his spiritual sense to scan Li Mu's gold foil. He could tell at a glance that Li Mu's gold foil list was real, but the names of only a few hundred thousand people on it made him collapse on the spot, and he laughed: "Haha, kid, where did you find such a small branch hall? There are only 200,000 people in total? Even if Su Hong was not very good, he found a branch hall with tens of millions of people to endorse him. You dare to participate in the election with a small branch hall of 200,000 people. It's really... uh... really courageous!"
Ji Haoxuan did not conceal the sarcasm in his words, and he even stepped on Su Hong.
Li Mu didn't care too much about this and smiled faintly: "Don't worry about it."
Because of the relationship between Ji Haoxuan and Ji Hao, it was not wise for Li Mu to attack Ji Haoxuan at this time. Since he could not attack, there was no need for him to be angry with Ji Haoxuan. As long as his plan succeeded this time, why would he be afraid of Ji Hao? How to deal with Ji Haoxuan at that time was just a matter of his thoughts.
"Hmph! You are such a disgrace. Since you are willing to be humiliated, let's see how you will be humiliated!" Ji Haoxuan snorted coldly and stopped arguing with Li Mu. In his opinion, a guy like Li Mu who had no background and was unknown could not pose any threat to him at all. At this critical moment, he did not want to cause trouble. It would be more satisfying for him to let Li Mu lose face in the election and clean up the mess afterwards.
Ji Haoxuan didn't say anything about Li Mu's candidacy, and the others had even less objections. After all, the general election was based on the principles of fairness and justice. Li Mu had all the qualifications to run for election, and now all Lingxiao people were watching them. If they jumped out at this time, what would the Lingxiao members think?
Therefore, no matter how unhappy they were, they had to hold it in. In order to maintain their own image, Yao Xiuqi and several others who had contact with Li Mu even expressed their warm welcome to Li Mu's candidacy.
After Jiang Yuer and Li Mu exchanged pleasantries, she returned to Chen Siqi and said to her, "Senior, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."
"Oh, then don't talk about it." Chen Siqi responded indifferently.
Jiang Yuer smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and continued, "The ancestors of our six major forces attach great importance to this election. In the past 100 years, each family has tried every means to win the election. Although Fellow Daoist Li Mu is very good, believe me, he has no chance."
Chen Siqi said indifferently, "We'll know if we have a chance if we try. There's nothing to lose anyway. Besides, I can't control my brother's affairs. It's useless for you to tell me these things."
"Haha, senior, this is it. I have a suggestion." Jiang Yuer said with a smile, "We have reached an agreement between you and me. Whether I can be elected as the hall master is also related to your interests and the future of your family. In this case, we should all go all out. I will find a chance to tell this to fellow Daoist Li Mu later. As a member of your family, I believe that if he knows the agreement between you and me, he will probably fully support me, right?"
Chen Siqi panicked when she heard this and waved her hands quickly: "No, don't worry about it, I can tell my brother myself."
Are you kidding? If Li Mu knew about this, would she still be able to get the 700 trillion Chaos Stones?
Jiang Yuer was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect Chen Siqi's reaction to be so big. She had never thought that the reason why Chen Siqi reacted so strongly was because she wanted to keep the reward she promised for herself. After all, Chen Siqi was the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor, and Li Mu was only the Chaos Immortal Ancestor. Did Chen Siqi need to do things secretly?
Chen Siqi also realized her own loss of composure, and quickly adjusted her emotions, trying to stay calm and explained to Jiang Yuer: "My brother is usually very noble. If you talk about this matter, he will feel that you are bowing your head in front of the powerful and bending for a few pieces of silver, which will backfire. But don't worry, I will take care of this matter. I will explain it to him, but the premise is that you can't mention this matter in front of him. After all, my brother is a face-conscious person."
"Uh... OK. Then I'll trouble you, Senior." Jiang Yu'er was stunned, but she didn't object in the end. After all, this matter was of great importance. Although Li Mu couldn't have many votes in his hand, maybe just these few votes could decide whether she would be elected as the Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace.
Because of the agreement between Jiang Yuer and Chen Siqi, the interests between them were too great. I believe Chen Siqi would not joke about this matter. Not to mention that Li Mu was far behind the candidates from the six major forces, and had no hope of being elected as the Palace Master. Even if Li Mu became the Palace Master, what would it matter? Such an empty position, compared with 700 trillion Chaos Stones, was nothing?
After all, Lingxiao Palace is just an idle force. Each palace master can only serve for 100,000 years. It is not valuable to others. The reason why Jiang Yuer and others care so much about the position of the palace master is entirely because their ancestors said so. In fact, they have been in contact with Lingxiao Palace for more than 100 years, and they have not found anything special about Lingxiao Palace. It just uses some loud slogans to attract a group of rabble. Although it may indeed have a certain influence in the Qiongzu Universe if it continues to expand in this way, it is limited to this. Until now, they don’t understand why their ancestors care so much about Lingxiao Palace.
Chen Siqi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she had managed to stabilize Jiang Yuer. Her small treasury plan was temporarily stable.
Chen Siqi couldn't help but secretly glance at Li Mu. However, it didn't matter if she didn't look. At this time, she saw that Li Mu was staring at her with a smile. Chen Siqi, feeling guilty, was immediately horrified and retracted her gaze. She murmured in her heart: "It's okay, don't panic, he won't know about this, this must be my illusion."
Thinking of this, Chen Siqi took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to look in the direction of Li Mu again, only to see Li Mu sitting in the candidate's position with his eyes closed. Seeing this, Chen Siqi breathed a long sigh of relief and thought to herself, "It seems that I really thought too much just now. I do things so flawlessly, how could my brother know? Besides, I didn't get this money for nothing, I had to work for it."
