After such a major incident, no one brought up Shen Sangruo's expulsion from the sect anymore, saying that she was unworthy to be the young sect leader.
Most of the discussion turned to her confronting Lingxiao Zhenren directly; some people thought she was truly courageous, while others thought she was extremely rebellious.
Another point of discussion is whether Feng, He, Yun, and the other two are two-faced.
In short, the focus is no longer on the selection of the top ten assets.
The half-hour period was about to end, and almost all the votes from the sect members had been cast.
However, apart from Lu Shiqing who immediately voted for Shen Sangruo, Feng Heyun and the others were still hesitating.
Bai Mumu looked in their direction, said nothing, and only gave a faint smile.
It was as if she was telling them to vote without any pressure, and that she would be happy no matter who they voted for.
In the end, Feng Heyun and Wen Xuan both voted for Bai Mumu, while Luo Chu voted for Shen Sangruo.
Bai Mumu glanced at the vote count between her and Shen Sangruo on the boulder, and the corners of her lips slowly turned up.
He walked up to Chen Sangruo and said, "Your performance was wonderful; it was quite unexpected."
To dare to break ties with Lingxiao Zhenren requires courage that not everyone possesses.
"But it still doesn't work, look."
Bai Mumu gestured for her to look in the direction of the boulder.
"In the end, you lost this round."
Shen Sangruo raised her eyes, only glancing lightly at the numbers below the names of both parties on the boulder.
In the end, the gap between her votes and Bai Mumu's was still huge; compared to Bai Mumu, her votes were pitifully few.
The prejudice that the people in the Flying Cloud Sect have against her cannot be changed in a short time.
Their preferred candidate for the young sect leader is still Bai Mumu.
In addition, the peak masters and elders each have more votes, so they naturally wouldn't risk offending True Person Lingxiao by casting their votes for her.
Of course, she didn't care about any of that; Bai Mumu's provocation had no effect on her mood whatsoever.
She responded to Bai Mumu with silence.
Half an hour later, the vote count on the boulder was finalized.
Although there were some unexpected events during the process, Shen Daochen was still quite satisfied with the result.
He immediately announced: "Bai Mumu is the winner of the election. Congratulations."
The disciples watching cheered loudly; in their view, this was the result of everyone's expectations.
Bai Mumu was very satisfied with Zong Ti's selection, and she was equally satisfied.
One is the result, and the other is the process.
She remained calm and quietly stepped aside, waiting for the next competition to begin.
After resting for about fifteen minutes, Shen Daochen announced the start of the second sect affairs management.
The rules were simple: the sect elders posed two hundred questions about the sect's situation in recent years, compiled them into a test paper, and the two students had to answer them within a specified time.
Then, the sect elders will publicly review the papers together, and the one with the highest score will win.
For the disciples watching from the sidelines, this was much more boring than the first one.
Because the question-and-answer session lasts for two hours, they cannot leave the room and must remain quiet in order to supervise the process.
The exam papers and desks were placed on the competition platform, which instantly transformed the platform into the examination room.
Shen Sangruo's goal was not to seize the position of young sect leader. She originally intended to just casually write this exam paper and get to the third item.
But during the days leading up to the competition, the seemingly abusive Taoist priest, who would scream and cry even after walking just a few steps, stayed up late every night with her to manage sect affairs.
If she doesn't win this battle, she will be letting down Wuwei Daoren's efforts and every hair she has shed.
Fortunately, she had read enough sect records, and she had seen these questions more or less before. In addition, she knew enough about the Flying Cloud Sect that she could deduce the answers even if she had never seen the questions before.
As for Bai Mumu, she was only forced to look at the sect's records by Shen Daochen during the few days when he was strict with her, and she managed to get away with it by acting cute.
She looked at the exam questions and felt extremely frustrated.
She's already a master strategist, why does she still need to take an exam?
"System, help me find the answers to these questions," she said to the system in her mind.
【Honey, we're a strategy system, not a genius system.】
Bai Mumu: "..."
"Forget it, I won't write it. It doesn't matter whether we win or lose this round."
[Friendly reminder: Shen Daochen has extremely high expectations for the host. If the host cannot deliver a satisfactory performance, it may cause the target's favorability to decrease.]
"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Bai Mumu gritted her teeth.
Her original plan focused solely on the final strength competition; she naturally didn't want to prepare for a mentally taxing competition like sect affairs management.
She's here to complete a strategy mission, not to actually become the young sect leader.
If you had told me earlier, she would definitely have prepared for this seriously.
The system is dead. Ever since she lost contact with the system that time, she always felt that there was something wrong with the current system.
Left with no other choice, Bai Mumu could only seriously work through those one hundred questions.
Fortunately, Shen Daochen still had some principles and did not reveal the exam questions to her directly.
Shen Sanruo completed the exam paper quite smoothly, finishing it in less than two hours.
After checking everything to make sure nothing was missed, he stood up and signaled to the elder invigilator to collect the exam papers.
Hey, if you learn something but don't show it off, it's like you haven't learned anything at all.
As expected, everyone from the Flying Cloud Sect looked at her in surprise; there were two hundred questions and answers!
When Shen Daochen saw that she had handed in her paper early, his expression softened, and he felt that she was still seriously preparing for the Young Sect Master competition.
Then he turned his expectant gaze to Bai Mumu, thinking that she would hand in her paper soon as well.
However, Bai Mumu was in a terrible predicament at the moment. All two hundred questions were strange and tricky.
Unfortunately, Shen Sanru handed in her paper so early that now everyone is watching her.
Shen Sanruo, who had been lost in thought, suddenly felt a resentful gaze. She turned around and met Bai Mumu's eyes.
She raised an eyebrow, turned her body around, and stared quietly at Bai Mumu.
The smile at the corner of his lips was full of sarcasm.
She naturally wouldn't let go of such an opportunity to make Bai Mumu feel itchy all over.
At this moment, the situation for the two is completely reversed from when they were voting for the cult.
Bai Mumu gritted her teeth, thinking that she would definitely make Chen Sangri shine in the next round, before she could calm down.
As time passed, Bai Mumu continued to answer questions, and Shen Daochen's expectant expression gradually turned into a furrowed brow.
As the final exam time was about to end, Bai Mumu finally finished answering all the questions and signaled to the proctoring elder to collect the papers.
If you can finish within the allotted time, you are considered to have completed the exam.
However, compared to the impact of Shen Sangruo submitting her paper so far ahead of time, Bai Mumu's timely completion inevitably seemed inferior.
After both of them finished answering their questions, it was time for the papers to be graded publicly.
Shen Daochen withdrew his gaze, his expectations for Bai Mumu still very high. Bai Mumu's speed was faster than Shen Sangruo's, so the quality of her answer would definitely be higher than Shen Sangruo's.
