Lin Yi smiled and said, "Senior Brother Ku, you don't have to worry. I'll take responsibility for my own actions. Even if Xu Lingchong wants to deal with me, I won't let you be implicated. Besides, isn't it just a lack of cultivation resources? I'm already in Cave Residence No.14 now. How bad can it be? Furthermore, even without Xu Lingchong's words, what do you think Meng Jueguang would have given me in the monthly distribution of spiritual jades? Is there a difference? "
"This … is true." Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai looked at each other and couldn't help but feel helpless. Lin Yi had already offended Meng Jueguang previously. Indeed, even without Xu Lingchong's instructions, Lin Yi's future would not be easy.
"Junior Brother Lin, don't worry too much. Don't worry. Since things have come to this, I won't just stand by and watch. After all, I'm the steward's Second Senior Brother …" Senior Brother Bitter said. However, when he said the words "Steward's Second Senior Brother", he still lacked confidence!
"That's right. With Senior Brother Ku's protection, if the two of us have cultivation resources, we can't enjoy them alone. We will definitely give them to Brother Lin." Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai listened and quickly said, "If we work together, we can be considered a small circle …"
If this was said, others would probably scoff at it. After all, under the leadership of Senior Brother Ku, what could they do?
However, they had already been labeled as Lin Yi's group. If they retreated at this time, it would only be more ridiculed. It was better to bite the bullet and fight with Lin Yi to the end. Maybe there would be a chance to turn things around!
"Thank you for your support!" Lin Yi was a little touched.
As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. In terms of friendship, he didn't have a deep relationship with the three of them. However, they could not abandon each other at this time. It could be seen that the three of them had good characters. He didn't misjudge them.
After a few words, the few of them went back to their cave residences to cultivate.
The next morning. After all the newcomers had gathered, they were led by Meng Jueguang to the main hall of the Welcoming Pavilion. As mentioned yesterday, this morning was the day to vote for the new deacon.
Lin Yi saw Kang Ming Ming and Zhong Pingliang again, but he didn't see Xu Lingchong. He thought about it and realized that Xu Lingchong was an inner disciple of the Soaring Pavilion, not the manager of the Welcoming Pavilion. He came out as a guide yesterday. Usually, he would stay in the Soaring Sky Pavilion.
However, even though Xu Lingchong had left, it didn't mean that his threat had disappeared. This was because Lin Yi had clearly noticed that Pavilion Master Hu Yunfeng had intentionally sized him up, and there wasn't any good intentions within that gaze. It seemed that after yesterday's matter, Hu Yunfeng had set his sights on him. After all, this Welcoming Pavilion Lord was a loyal lackey of Soaring Sky Pavilion!
Lin Yi was secretly vigilant. However, although Hu Yunfeng was the Welcoming Pavilion Lord, he was the number one figure here. If there wasn't a special reason, it wouldn't be easy for him to deal with him openly. He just had to be more careful in the future. It was nothing more than making things difficult for him. With the jade space as his back, Lin Yi wasn't afraid of his opponent's little tricks.
Seeing that all the newcomers from the three pavilions had arrived, Hu Yunfeng introduced the position of the new deacon. Then it went straight to the voting stage.
This was an open secret vote, which meant that no matter who voted for whom, everyone could see it on the spot. There was no under-the-table manipulation. Of course, canvassing for votes like Kang Ming Ming yesterday was also allowed and not against the rules. Of course, canvassing for votes like Kang Ming Ming yesterday was also allowed and not against the rules.
In order to facilitate the voting, the stewards of the three pavilions would report their respective nominees in advance. On the Soaring Sky Pavilion's side, it was Kang Ming Ming. On the Mysterious Pavilion's side, it was Zhang Li Xing, a Heaven Stage Great Perfection newcomer from Heaven Stage Island. As for the Blue Cloud Pavilion's side, because there was no hope of being elected, they didn't even nominate a candidate. So, if there were no accidents, the new deacon would be produced between Kang Ming Ming and Zhang Li Xing.
Under the organization of the six steward seniors, the voting proceeded in an orderly manner. The final result was: Kang Ming Ming had 27 votes, Zhang Li Xing had 18 votes!
Kang Ming Ming's expression immediately turned ugly. Although the number of votes he had far exceeded Zhang Li Xing, the problem was that it wasn't enough!
There were a total of 45 newcomers in the three pavilions. To be elected as the new deacon, he needed at least two-thirds of the votes. In other words, including his own votes, he needed at least 30 votes, and he was three votes short!
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Soaring Sky Pavilion's 15 votes were all given to Kang Ming Ming, the Mysterious Pavilion's 15 votes were all given to Zhang Li Xing, and the Blue Cloud Pavilion's 12 votes were given to Kang Ming Ming. The remaining three crucial votes were given to Zhang Li Xing! And the people who cast these three crucial votes were Lin Yi, Xiao Ran, and Qiao Hongcai!
F * ck! Kang Ming Ming was burning with anger, but he couldn't do anything. After yesterday's incident, Lin Yi not voting for him was already expected. So, he deliberately dragged Xu Lingchong to the Mysterious Pavilion again, hoping to get a few loose votes to fill the vacancy. In the end, these people had agreed to it yesterday, but he didn't expect that they would all vote for Mysterious Pavilion's Zhang Li Xing today, causing him to fail on the verge of success!
"Well … Because the two of them have less than two-thirds of the votes, this voting is invalid. The position of the new deacon is temporarily empty. After next month's ranking competition, according to the strength of these two candidates, the pavilion masters will discuss and choose a new deacon! After all, these two candidates were jointly recommended by everyone. Now, because of the lack of votes, there isn't a new deacon. So, when the time comes, whoever is stronger will take over! "
Although Hu Yunfeng was instructed by Xu Lingchong to let Kang Ming Ming take over, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he couldn't lie through his teeth as the pavilion master. So, he could only announce it in this way. However, Hu Yunfeng cleverly said that after the ranking competition ended, the pavilion masters would choose a deacon from these two candidates. That meant that these people wouldn't have a chance to vote again. Who to choose would be decided by the pavilion masters!
He said it in a dignified manner, and others couldn't find any fault with it. He was really a complete hypocrite.
"Fortunately, this guy didn't get his way!" Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. They were all Lin Yi's group. If they really let Kang Ming Ming take over, their days would definitely not be good. Now, at least for the next month, they didn't have to worry about this matter.
