No wonder Bai Mumu was so confident that the position of young sect leader would definitely be hers.
Shen Sanruo also had some guesses in her heart.
"Next, we will begin the first event of the Young Sect Master competition: the Sect Master Selection," Shen Daochen announced in a deep voice, displaying a certain sect master's authority.
“Each of you will have a voting jade stone in your hand. Simply use your spiritual power to write your name on it, and it will be counted in the vote. The voting period is half an hour.”
As Shen Daochen finished speaking, the voting jade stones in the hands of the Feiyun Sect members were activated.
But most people didn't rush to vote; instead, they waited for the campaigning phase.
Generally, candidates for the position of young sect leader will deliver their "campaign manifesto" within half an hour of the sect leader election to garner more votes.
Voters can vote after the other side finishes speaking, and the number of votes will be displayed on the boulder in front of the competition platform to show their support for the other side.
Bai Mumu seized the initiative and took the lead in campaigning for herself.
"Respected elders and peak masters of Feiyun Sect, dear senior brothers and sisters, greetings everyone. I am Bai Mumu, and the position I am running for this time is Young Sect Master."
"It is an honor to stand on this stage. I believe that as the young sect leader, I have the following advantages: first... second... third..."
"If I succeed in becoming the young sect leader, I will..."
"In short, I will do my best to lead the Flying Cloud Sect to become bigger and stronger and create new glories. I hope you will all support me."
"That concludes my remarks. Thank you for listening."
Bai Mumu directly asked the system to find her an election template from some unknown world.
The effect was clearly good. Neither the disciples of the Flying Cloud Sect nor the peak masters and elders had ever heard of such a unique election manifesto.
I found her words to be absolutely astounding.
"How neat and tidy!" many disciples exclaimed.
"Concise and clear, logical and meticulous, brilliant!" The peak masters and elders praised it highly.
Shen Daochen's smile deepened considerably, and Lingxiao Zhenren also slightly curved his lips.
He was clearly very satisfied with Bai Mumu's statement.
Bai Mumu's votes surged rapidly, with one-third of the people having already voted for her, before the vote growth slowed down.
Those who hadn't voted seemed to be waiting for Shen Sangruo to campaign for them.
Given Shen Sanruo's recent reputation in the Feiyun Sect, they certainly didn't want to support her.
Some of them were indeed still observing, but most wanted to wait until she finished speaking before casting their votes for Bai Mumu, thus embarrassing her.
Even now, many people are praising Bai Mumu while simultaneously belittling her.
Some say she is jealous, while others say she behaves badly.
"They're both daughters of Sect Master Shen, so why are they so different?"
"Naturally, it's because one is Sect Master Shen's biological son, and the other is some wild child who came from who-knows-where, cough cough." The man stopped talking in time.
But more often, the focus is on her being expelled from the sect by Master Lingxiao.
"I remember that Shen Sangri had such deep feelings for her four senior brothers and Lingxiao Zhenren. She must have been heartbroken to death when she was expelled from Zhenlin Peak."
"Of course, I heard that she was crying so hard she could hardly breathe the day she left Zhenlin Peak."
“I can testify that I was there, it’s true.”
"In the end, she deserved it. Who told her to commit so many evil deeds? This is what they call reaping what you sow."
"Why bother participating in the Young Sect Master competition? I'll see how many people vote for her later."
Lingxiao Zhenren felt relieved upon hearing those words.
He looked at Shen Sangruo indifferently; this was the consequence of her leaving Zhenlin Peak.
The disciples of the Flying Cloud Sect all focused their attention on Shen Sangruo, wanting to see how she would shamelessly campaign for votes despite being disliked by everyone.
Then there was the sight of no one supporting her or standing with her.
This is the fate she deserves; only in this way can she finally vent her anger.
Seeing the scene before her, Bai Mumu glanced provocatively at Chen Sangruo.
She's bound to win this round.
However, Shen Sangruo ignored her.
In reality, Shen Sangruo didn't care about the outcome of the clan election at all, nor did she intend to campaign for votes.
What she had to do was something else entirely.
When Shen Sangruo looked up, her gaze inadvertently swept over Lingxiao Zhenren, who was sitting in a high position.
Then his gaze swept over Feng Heyun and the others in the front row.
Her condition for exchanging the Fire Scale Vine with them was that they must publicly claim that she left Zhenlin Peak voluntarily. However, what the people of Feiyun Sect are saying now is that she was expelled from the sect.
Master Lingxiao only said that she was not a disciple of Zhenlin Peak, leaving the rest to everyone's speculation. Shen Sanruo knew in her heart that he had done it on purpose.
Fortunately, she never fully believed from the beginning that Master Lingxiao would reveal the truth.
Shen Sangruo's smile turned chilly.
Feng Heyun and the others over there had been keeping a close eye on Shen Sangri, so they naturally wouldn't miss any of her movements.
“Chen Sangruo seemed to glance in our direction just now!” Feng Heyun exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening. “She…she seemed to smile.”
"She still can't let us go!" Feng Heyun's voice was filled with joy.
Then I felt a pang of worry for her, "Junior Sister's campaign speech was so good, I hope Chen Sangruo can also perform well."
Shen Sangruo felt somewhat guilty about the public opinion surrounding him within the Flying Cloud Sect.
It's alright, the ever-thoughtful Shen Sangruo will soon resolve this concern for him.
Standing in the center of the arena, she took a step toward Master Lingxiao and said in a loud voice, word by word, "Everyone in the Flying Cloud Sect says that I am Master Lingxiao's abandoned disciple. May I ask Master Lingxiao, is this really true?"
The disciples who had been expecting Shen Sangruo to humbly beg them for votes were dumbfounded.
What is she doing? How dare she speak to Master Lingxiao like that?
Many quick-witted people immediately realized, "What does Chen Sangruo mean by that? Could there be another reason behind her leaving Zhenlin Peak?"
Bai Mumu's expression was also puzzled, but she quickly changed to the same contempt as before.
She knew that Shen Sangruo's behavior would only arouse Lingxiao Zhenren's disgust.
Lingxiao Zhenren, standing on the high platform, twitched his brows and stared at her with half-closed eyes.
Unexpectedly, during the election, she gave up campaigning and instead questioned him about this matter.
But how could Master Lingxiao allow her to offend him so easily?
"Insolence!" Master Lingxiao's expression was calm, yet his presence commanded respect. "What right do you have to question me?"
With a slight twitch of his fingers, a powerful pressure pressed down on Shen Sangruo, attempting to force her to kneel.
However, Shen Sanruo gritted her teeth and used all her strength to resist desperately.
Shen Daochen's face darkened, and he called out to remind Lingxiao Zhenren, "Lingxiao!"
If he didn't stop it, there might be bloodshed, and he didn't want things to get ugly.
But what he felt most was dissatisfaction with Shen Sangruo, who acted so carelessly on such an important occasion.
