Each guest invited had a vote, and the candidate who won the most votes would win the round.
When all the votes had been withdrawn, the crowd began to sing. And the result of the vote was exactly as Yan Ru Meng had expected. Shangguan Ying"s vote was like a cloud of dust, far ahead of his brothers, and Shangguan Jianyun was ranked second.
Because Shangguan Ying had already won the second round, and in addition to this round"s victory, he had won two of the three rounds. According to the rules that he had set beforehand, he was the final winner in this time"s successor to the family head position.
For a moment, the entire venue was filled with warm congratulations. Shangguan Ying cupped her hands around her with a smile on her face, and proudly received the congratulations from all directions.
On the other hand, the other candidates, including Shangguan Jianyun, were all dejected, appearing to be very disappointed.
However, in the end, they still congratulated Shangguan Ying. At least in the eyes of outsiders, the Shangguan family was still a group of peaceful people.
This made Shangguan Ying even more complacent, and before long, he arrived in front of Shangguan Zhi and asked with a smile: "Little Zhi, aren"t you congratulating me?"
Shangguan Zhi said, "Big brother, father hasn"t announced the final result yet, so it"s hard to say who will win now."
Shangguan Ying"s face immediately darkened. He said in a deep voice, "Little Zhi, you have to face reality. I won two of the three rounds. I will be the next Patriarch of Shangguan family!"
"That may not be so!"
After Shangguan Zhi finished speaking, he walked up to a white-haired elder, bowed and said, "Fourth Uncle, is the third round only about the number of guests and not about the ident.i.ty of the guests?"
The old man shook his head and said, "Of course not, if the guest has a distinguished ident.i.ty, of course it would be a different story!"
Shangguan Zhi smiled and said, "Actually, I invited a VIP today. Her ident.i.ty is no small matter. In my opinion, she alone is enough to match all the guests at the scene. "
Shangguan Ying sneered from behind him and said, "Little Zhi, stop daydreaming. There is no such person in this world. Even if there is, it can"t be that Qin guy!"
"Big brother, this world is much bigger than we imagined. Don"t look down on the world and underestimate the people of this world!" Shangguan Zhi smiled faintly and threw Shangguan Zhi, whose face had turned blue with anger, to the side of Qin Hai and Yun Yin. He said respectfully, "Miss Yun Yin, after you!"
After that, Shangguan Zhi and Yun Yin returned to the old man, "Fourth Uncle, this Miss Yun Yin is from the Glazed Light Palace. She chose to support me!"
The old man"s expression froze as he hurriedly asked, "This lady, you really came from the Glazed Light Palace?"
Yun Yin nodded slightly, "That"s right!"
"Please wait a moment!" The old man"s face immediately revealed a look of ecstasy, then he turned around and quickly left.
After a while, an even older old man was helped out.
Seeing the old man, Shangguan Ying"s face was filled with astonishment. He hastily went forward to support the old man and asked, "Grandfather, why did you come out?"
The old man asked excitedly, "Where are the distinguished guests from the Glazed Light Palace?"
Shangguan Zhi also walked up to him and led the old man to Yun Yin. "Ancestral grandfather, this is Miss Yun Yin!"
"Lady really comes from the Glazed Light Palace. Do you have any proof?" the old man asked.
Yun Yin took out a wooden sign from her pocket and handed it to the old man.
On the wooden token, there was only a seal character. It seemed very unremarkable, but when the old man saw the token his entire body shook. The hand holding the token began to tremble.
He quickly returned the token and bowed, "Shangguan Family"s 68th generation grandson greets you!"
Seeing that the old man still wanted to kneel on the ground, Shangguan Ying and Shangguan Zhi were both stunned.
Yun Yin suddenly said, "I"m not here as a messenger, so there"s no need to be polite!"
Only then did the old man not kneel on the ground.
However, he was still excited and replied respectfully: "This old one didn"t know that you had arrived. Please forgive me if I failed to welcome you! Young lady, please take a seat! "
"No need. I"ve come this time to support him. After this is done, I"ll leave!" Yun Yin pointed at Shangguan Zhi.
The old man looked at Shangguan Zhi, nodded and said, "Alright, since you have the support of the lady, there"s no need to compete anymore in this third round. Little Zhi wins."
Then, the old man turned around and asked, "Since Little Zhi has won the round, I will now announce that Little Zhi has won this time"s compet.i.tion to become the next Patriarch!"
Although the old man was old, his words were loud and clear, reaching the ears of everyone present.
All of a sudden, almost everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at Shangguan Zhi, who was standing next to the old man.
Shangguan Ying was completely dumbfounded!
