The third elder peeked at the second elder suspiciously, trying to find some clues. However, after observing him for a long time, he was sure that this was the second brother he had known for many years. He was the real deal. However, he couldn’t figure out why his second brother would object to them going to the secret realm. After all, in his heart, his second brother was the one who should be the most approving.
“Third elder! The master is not here, so our responsibility to the clan is even greater. Therefore, we must guard the ning family well. This is the most important thing. ” The second elder couldn’t help but remind the third elder after seeing through his thoughts.
“What about the patriarch and the others? Are we just going to ignore this?” The third elder asked.
“It’s not that I don’t care, I’m just waiting and watching. I keep feeling that the G.o.d World is going to be troubled. Many of the top powers are trapped in that secret realm. If this matter were to spread out, I’m afraid it would bring a shock to the divine world. Some guys who can’t see the light might even take the opportunity to jump out and cause trouble. ” The second elder said worriedly.
“Second elder, aren’t you thinking too much?” The third elder felt that the second elder’s words were a little alarmist, and the purpose behind this was to prevent them from entering the secret realm.
“Third elder! We don’t want to think about this now. If something really happens, we’ll regret it! Therefore, we must prepare for a rainy day and make full preparations in advance so that we won’t be fl.u.s.tered when the time comes. ” The second elder warned.
“How about this! I don’t want people to say that I’m too overbearing, so let’s not argue about going to the secret plane or not. Let’s just vote. Miss Leng, please be a witness. ” The second elder added.
“Good! I’m honored!” Leng ruoxue nodded.
“Third elder, what do you think of this idea?” The 2nd elder asked the 3rd elder with a smile. They had known each other for many years and understood each other very well. They knew that if they didn’t make a decision, the stalemate would continue. Thus, they had to cut the Gordian knot quickly. Voting seemed to be the fairest and just method. As for the results of the voting, no one would have any doubts.
“Good! Let’s just vote. ” The 3rd elder agreed. Although many of the elders present were on the 2nd elder’s side, there were also many elders who were on good terms with him. Therefore, he was not afraid of losing the vote.
“Third elder, you don’t have any objections to me being the witness, right?” Leng ruoxue asked.
“I have no objections!” The third elder nodded. Although the votes were anonymous, the results were public and couldn’t be faked. Therefore, he really didn’t care who was the witness.
“Then let’s start the voting!” Just as Leng ruoxue finished her sentence, grape and lotus seed entered the room. When they saw the two uninvited young ladies, third elder and the rest were stunned. What was going on? They recognized these two ladies and knew that they were Leng ruoxue’s maidservants. However, what were they doing here at this time?
Grape and lotus seed handed the papers in their hands to the elders who were sitting. Then, grape took out a small box that he had prepared earlier from his storage ring and placed it on the table.
“What is the meaning of this?” An elder asked out of curiosity.
“Elders, after you’ve finished writing, put the paper into this box.” Grape explained.
“Oh!” The elder who spoke nodded. They had never seen this before. Although the ning family had also voted before, they had always written the results directly to the family master or the acting family master, and then they would announce it. This method was unprecedented for them.
“Is there something fishy about this box?” At this moment, third elder asked worriedly. When he saw the box, the anger in his heart rose again. He even suspected that Leng ruoxue and the rest had prepared this beforehand. Otherwise, why would her maidservant have prepared everything the moment they decided to vote?
“If third elder is worried, feel free to come forward and check. Other elders who are worried can also go and check, in case you say that I’m manipulating things behind the scenes.” Leng ruoxue said in an understanding manner. The moment she finished speaking, third elder was the first to rush forward without hesitation.
The third elder picked up the small box and looked inside and out, but he still couldn’t find anything. He suddenly felt a little depressed. It looked like he was being petty, and the other party didn’t want to use any means at all. As for the other elders who came forward to check, after carefully examining it, they did not find any flaws and directly returned to their seats.
“Third elder and the other elders can now rest a.s.sured! You guys can start voting!” Leng ruoxue replied calmly. However, she could not help but laugh in her heart. Did third elder really think that she would tamper with the box? In fact, among the elders present, the second elder had looked for most of them in advance and fiercely explained to them. He had also asked them to carefully think about it and made his position clear, reminding them not to be the ning family’s eternal sinners.
As soon as he said this, the elders ‘minds were in turmoil. Although the second elder did not explicitly ask them to agree with his opinion, his words revealed the same message, which was that whoever agreed to go would be going against him. As such, the elders did not dare to be careless.
After close to a day of thinking, Leng ruoxue was clear that these elders already had a conclusion in their hearts. And now, it was time to test second elder’s strength.
After a while.
All the elders had cast their votes and returned to their seats.
Seeing this, Leng ruoxue walked to the voting box.
“Elders, it’s time to announce the results.” Leng ruoxue said with a smile.
Then, she took out the votes from the voting box one by one. After all the votes were announced, the final results of the voting were out.
There were close to a hundred elders present, but the voting results were almost one-sided. Only less than ten elders were in favor of going to the mystic realm, while the other elders had all voted against it. This result made Leng ruoxue extremely satisfied.
“This is impossible!” The third elder’s face darkened when he heard the result. He glared at the elders beside him with his fiery eyes. However, those elders all lowered their heads and didn’t look at him. He understood what was going on.
To die! No one wanted to go, especially to an unknown place where their lives could be in danger. These elders who were usually high and mighty, pampered, and pampered, were not really willing to go with him. Previously, they had been pressured by him and had no choice but to go along with him. Now that the second elder had said that they were not allowed to go to the mystic realm, it was exactly what they wanted. Therefore, the final voting result was like this.ai! Although he was angry, he knew that this was human nature. Why would he want to die? However, if he didn’t figure out what happened in the secret realm and didn’t contact the family master and the others, if the news of the family master and the others ‘disappearance were to spread, people would look down on the ning family. He insisted on going for the sake of the ning family’s reputation.
