Chapter 564: The Divination Is Everywhere (3)
“Y-you, First Elder, you can’t let Leng Ruoxue go!” Elder Hao was so angry that his entire body was trembling, and he stammered a little to the First Elder.
“Elder Hao, the First Elder isn’t your ally. You should worry about your outcome!” Leng Ruoxue reminded kindly. Alas! She was really impressed by Elder Hao’s hindsight! Didn’t this old man think that the Great Elder would let Wu Gong go if he died?
“I… I’m an elder of the Mystic a.s.sociation Headquarters!” Elder Hao was a little scared after hearing Leng Ruoxue’s words. Yes! The First Elder had always been on bad terms with Wu Gong. The First Elder and the others were originally locked up by Wu Gong, but after the incident at the headquarters, Wu Gong released the few elders he locked up because he lacked manpower. The first thing they did after coming out was to chase Wu Gong off the stage. Wu Gong was in a terrible fix because of Leng Ruoxue, so he had no time to deal with the First Elder and the others.
“First Elder, are you really unwilling to let Lan Ming be the acting president?” Leng Ruoxue ignored Elder Hao’s final struggle and said directly to the First Elder.
“Erm… we need to discuss.” The First Elder knew that Leng Ruoxue was threatening him, but he was helpless at all. Alas! In terms of strength, all of them combined were not Leng Ruoxue and the others’ match!
“Okay, I’ll give you half an hour. If you can’t give me a satisfactory result in half an hour, don’t blame me for being nasty,” Leng Ruoxue said, half warningly and half threatening. She didn’t want to continue wasting time with these stinky old men. Since they didn’t give her face after discussing it nicely, she had to attack.
“Miss Leng, half an hour is too short,” The First Elder couldn’t help but say.
“Is that so? Then ten minutes will do,” Leng Ruoxue said very seriously. Hmph! She hated others bargaining with her!
“Uh! Half an hour it is!” The First Elder was helpless.
“Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and discuss it. Two minutes have pa.s.sed,” Leng Ruoxue urged, her beautiful face full of impatience.
“Miss Leng, please wait for a moment.” The First Elder gathered the elders present in a corner and began to discuss.
“La.s.s, will they agree?” the little old man whispered curiously. From the looks of the First Elder, they seemed to have a suitable candidate to replace Wu Gong!
“They have no other choice,” Leng Ruoxue said confidently. Hmph! Don’t blame me for being ruthless if they don’t agree.
Leng Ruoxue had already made up her mind that she would attack if these old men refused to give her face. The elders of the Mystic a.s.sociation Headquarters who were discussing this in the corner were all depressed.
“First Elder, what should we do now?” An elder in the corner couldn’t help asking. He had seen Leng Ruoxue in the Mystic a.s.sociation Headquarters compet.i.tion last time, but she was only an elementary mystic the last time he saw her. It hadn’t been long since then, and she was actually already a Mystic Monarch with so many Mystic Sovereigns protecting her. Alas! He had to suspect that Leng Ruoxue was from the Leng family now!
“Alas! Tell me first!” The First Elder sighed and said helplessly. He didn’t expect Leng Ruoxue to be so domineering. It seemed like he had to make a decision today. Fortunately, most of the elders present were his people, so he could still influence their thoughts.
“First Elder, if we really fight, we’re probably not Leng Ruoxue and the others’ match,” another elder said. He was still relatively rational among the elders. In fact, he felt that there was nothing wrong with letting Lan Ming be the acting president. After all, Lan Ming was the president’s disciple!
“There’s no need for you to say that. Even a fool can see it,” another elder said with contempt. Hmph! Would they have endured so much if Leng Ruoxue didn’t have so many powerful subordinates by her side?
“Elder Liu, Elder w.a.n.g, stop arguing. Now isn’t the time for us to coax each other,” First Elder said with some displeasure. He couldn’t help being a little depressed as he looked at the elders in front of him and stole glances at the Mystic Sovereigns beside Leng Ruoxue. Alas! It was no different from not knowing. It was a shock when compared! Why were the Mystic Sovereigns beside Leng Ruoxue all stronger than the elders of the headquarters! He couldn’t understand. The people the headquarters had always absorbed had always been the top! But why was it like this now!
“First Elder, I think there’s nothing wrong with letting Lan Ming be the acting president,” Elder Liu said bluntly after hearing the First Elder’s words.
“How can that be? Lan Ming is only a Mystic Monarch. Our headquarters has been established for thousands of years, and there has never been a precedent of a Mystic Monarch in charge! Wouldn’t the major families laugh at us if news of this were to spread!” Elder w.a.n.g immediately objected.
“What’s there to laugh about? Lan Ming is the president’s disciple, and his apt.i.tude can be considered top-notch. I believe that it won’t be long before he can advance to Mystic Sovereign, so I support him as the acting president.” Elder Liu took the lead to express his att.i.tude!
“I support you too.” Many elders began to agree after seeing Elder Liu’s stance.
“I object,” Elder w.a.n.g said in disapproval.
“Since most of them are supportive, let Lan Ming be the acting president of our headquarters. This way, we can have an explanation with the president when he comes out of seclusion!” the First Elder said resolutely and looked at the Second Elder, who had been silent, with a slight apology. The Elder Consortium originally chose the Second Elder, but now…
“First Elder, Lan Ming can’t convince the public at all by being the acting president of our headquarters. Moreover, what will become of the Second Elder by letting a young brat be the acting president of the headquarters?” Elder w.a.n.g said without giving up. Hmph! He had nothing to say if the Second Elder was the acting president. However, he was unwilling to let a young brat ride on his head.
“So be it. Don’t use me as an excuse. I have no objections to Lan Ming being the acting president,” the Second Elder, who had been silent, said lazily. His shrewd eyes kept sneaking glances at Leng Ruoxue. However, he realized that he couldn’t see through this young girl at all!
“Elder w.a.n.g, Second Elder has no objections. Do you still object?” The First Elder asked lightly.
