The second person to express his opinion had appeared.
Everyone's attention was focused on the source of the noise. Lin Feng looked towards the source of the noise and saw King Ju raise his hand expressionlessly. Although he expressed his opinion, he did not look at Lin Feng. Instead, he chose to avoid eye contact. Was he guilty or afraid?
Two votes in favor of disqualifying Lin Feng!
King Yan frowned and looked at King Ju with displeasure.
To a certain extent, he had a good relationship with King Ju. He did not expect King Ju to attack him at this moment.
"Fourth Senior Brother, you!" King Yan was furious. However, an arm reached out and interrupted him. Emperor Shun's face was as calm as a lake. He said softly, "Don't instill your own thoughts into others. Respect Fourth Junior Brother's choice."
King Ju!
"Neutral." Lin Feng muttered softly.
Among Emperor Yao's disciples, other than Eldest Senior Brother Shun, Second Senior Brother King Lu was the strongest. After him were King Yan and King Ju. In fact, King Yan was close to Eldest Senior Brother Shun and always followed Shun's lead. Although King Ju seemed to be on Shun's side, he was actually a very arrogant person. He had his own thoughts and beliefs and was not willing to submit to others.
"Such a choice is also within common sense." Lin Feng was very clear.
If he was disqualified, King Ju would have a higher chance of becoming the Lord of the Southern Region.
Obviously, he was very confident and had a trump card in his hand.
…
The atmosphere became more and more serious.
With two votes against one, Palace Master Ju Yan's side had the upper hand. At this moment, King Lu, Huang Lu, and Ke Ke were still thinking. King Lu's expression kept changing and his emotions were extremely complicated. He was probably the most conflicted person at this moment.
This was because other than Lin Feng, he believed that his strength was not inferior to anyone present!
Even Shun.
However …
He was also aware of Lin Feng's strength. It was not easy for him to build a good relationship with Lin Feng. If he voted in favor now, it would mean that all his previous efforts would be in vain. In the future, if Lin Feng were to become the ruler of the Southern Region, things would become very troublesome.
He was hesitating!
King Lu's expression changed.
To bet or not to bet?
"I object." A fourth voice rang out.
Just as King Lu was hesitating, the second "No" vote appeared.
King Ju turned his head with a cold expression, while Palace Master Ju Yan's frown deepened. Both of them looked surprised. They did not expect Huang Lu to vote against the proposal. Even King Lu was shocked. Lin Feng looked at the smiling long-haired man and nodded at him. Lin Feng also smiled and nodded at him.
A show of goodwill!
Although he did not know this long-haired man, he could sense his aura.
Among them, he was the weakest. He was merely a high-level Saint. Even the noblewoman was trying her best to conceal her aura, but he could still sense that she was at the peak of the Saint Realm. Everyone else was the same.
Only this long-haired man was a high-level Saint.
"Very smart." Lin Feng smiled in his mind.
He clearly knew that even if he lost his qualification, it would not be his turn to become the ruler of the Southern Region. Rather than that, why not fulfill his wish and let Lin Feng owe him a favor? In the future, if Lin Feng really became the ruler of the Southern Region, even if he would not take special care of him, at least … he would not be against him.
With Huang Lu's vote, the situation was tied again.
2: 2!
The surrounding Saints held their breaths and widened their eyes. Every vote that followed was very important.
Only King Lu, Ke Ke, and Emperor Shun were left!
Emperor Shun's calm expression showed that he had already made his decision. In fact, whether it was Lin Feng, Palace Master Ju Yan, or King Yan knew that Emperor Shun would definitely vote against the proposal to protect Lin Feng. In other words, the score was 3: 2, and the "No" votes were in the lead!
King Yan clenched his fists, his eyes burning.
Because of Huang Lu's vote, King Lu's expression turned even uglier. Palace Master Ju Yan's palms were also sweating. She did not expect Huang Lu to vote against the proposal. But sometimes, the world was so strange. You thought he would vote for the proposal, but he did not.
The human heart was always unpredictable.
…
Yes or no?
For King Lu, it was either heaven or hell at this moment.
Clenching his fists, he had already walked to the edge of the cliff. He glanced at Ke Ke and saw the light in Ke Ke's eyes. He seemed to be hesitating too. King Lu's eyes widened. "Yes, he is the same as me. We are both hesitating and waiting for each other to make a decision!"
"If I vote against the proposal, he will vote against it too. He will not offend Lin Feng."
"Actually, he wants to vote for the proposal. Otherwise, if he votes against the proposal, together with Emperor Shun's vote, the result will be out."
King Lu was instantly enlightened and understood everything.
As if a clear stream flowed through his body, the cold sweat on King Lu's forehead disappeared. He was completely awake.
He had to make a decision immediately.
Otherwise, by the time Ke Ke made his decision, it would be too late.
"I agree," King Lu's voice was very low. He did not raise his head, as if he was afraid of meeting Lin Feng's gaze. The crowd burst into an uproar, but the current situation had changed back to the 'yes' vote. Palace Master Ju Yan revealed an expression of victory, and King Ju's cold expression eased slightly.
Huang Lu still looked the same, as if he did not care about the result. King Yan was much more restrained after Emperor Shun's persuasion. He only gritted his teeth.
In fact, he had also guessed that King Lu would vote for the proposal. Of course, this was also within Lin Feng's expectations.
"People are greedy after all."
"As long as there is a chance, who would not want to take the risk?"
Lin Feng chuckled. He did not blame King Lu and King Lu.
No matter how much King Lu tried to please him, he would still put himself first at the crucial moment.
Every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost.
Both of them were actually very ambitious. The only difference was that King Lu's behavior was more obvious and more flexible. King Lu knew how to curry favor with those in power. He acted according to the overall situation. This kind of person would usually choose the direction that was most beneficial to him. He did this to please him before, and it was the same now.
If he became the Lord of the Southern Region in the end, he would definitely flatter him and try his best to make up for the bad effects of what happened today.
This kind of person had a special 'nickname', which was —
Fence-Sitter.
…
3: 2!
The 'yes' vote was in the lead again.
Just one more vote and the 'yes' vote would reach four votes and eliminate Lin Feng.
The hall was silent. At this moment, it was time to reveal the dice cup. The result of the bet was about to be decided. Including Emperor Shun's' no 'vote, the result was a tie of 3: 3. The key was that the final result depended on one person.
Ke Ke!
This great bandit who appeared out of nowhere a hundred years ago was both good and evil. He acted like an eagle and was very self-centered.
Palace Master Ju Yan smiled confidently. In her expectation, the great bandit 'Ke Ke' would put himself first. The probability of him voting 'yes' was above 99%! King Lu and King Ju focused their eyes and pursed their lips. They had already thrown caution to the wind.
They both wanted to fight for the position of the Lord of the Southern Region.
Therefore, the first thing to do was to eliminate Lin Feng!
"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" In their hearts, there was nothing else but these two words. They were waiting for Ke Ke's final decision. King Yan's expression was extremely ugly. He knew a lot about 'Ke Ke'. According to his character, he would definitely vote 'yes'.
In the hall, only Lin Feng and Emperor Shun remained calm and waited for the final result.
All eyes were focused on one person.
At this moment, Ke Ke also raised his head. His eagle-like eyes looked straight at Lin Feng. The light in his eyes was bright and he did not avoid the question at all. "I object." These three simple words made everyone dumbfounded. They did not expect this at all.
He objected!?
King Lu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
What the hell!?
In the hall, there was an uproar. Everyone was in an uproar.
It was only a single vote of 'no', but it crushed all the voices of discord. Palace Master Ju Yan's face was ghastly pale. King Lu and King Ju were completely stunned. Ke Ke's vote of objection was too crucial. His vote of objection overturned the entire situation and overturned all their previous efforts.
One vote of 'no', and the entire situation was reversed!
Lin Feng snorted softly, feeling rather surprised.
He did not know this eagle-like man in front of him. His cold eyes showed that he was not on good terms with him. He was also not someone like King Lu who was trying to curry favor with him. Most importantly, his strength was one of the best among the crowd. If he was eliminated, it would be more advantageous for him.
But why …
Did he want to protect him?
Lin Feng's eyes flashed. He could not figure it out.
In fact, there was a question in everyone's mind. They did not understand why Ke Ke would vote 'no'. According to Palace Master Ju Yan, that was the only 1% chance. Yet, it happened.
People's hearts were hard to fathom.
But the truth was the truth.
Coming from Bi 'an's mouth, he obviously didn't want to change it. After voting, he still had that cold look on his face. It was as if he did not care about anyone. This was the great thief 'Ke Ke' who rose to fame a hundred years ago. He was extremely egotistical.
Now, the 'yes' and 'no' votes were tied again.
3: 3!
However, Palace Master Ju, King Lu, and King Ju all knew that they had lost.
The motion would end with a score of 3: 4. They were only waiting for Emperor Shun to vote 'no'. Then, all their efforts would be in vain. They would have no choice but to accept Lin Feng's participation in the competition. At this moment, there was no more chance. King Yan's face broke into a smile. Lin Feng also smiled.
It seemed that everything would come to a perfect end just like that.
Of course, there were many things that no one could have predicted.
Just like how no one could have guessed that Ke Ke would vote 'no', no one could have guessed that Emperor Shun, who had been protecting Lin Feng …
He would cast the most unbelievable vote.
"I agree," Emperor Shun said softly.
Everyone stood rooted to the ground, completely dumbfounded.
