The Competition
The low but powerful sound of the bugle horn reverberated in the huge practice field.
The surrounding clansmen were all shocked by the sound of the horn, while their gazes turned even more serious as they looked at the candidates on the stage who were preparing to compete …
In the future, among this group of candidates, there would be someone who would lead them down the path of Du.
"It's finally begun."
On the chair, Gu Li's gaze became more and more heated. He clenched his fists tightly, while his calm expression revealed his restless heart.
I've waited ten-odd years for this day …
I've endured enough humiliation during this period of time. It's time for me to take off the laurel crown and place it on my head.
He swept his gaze across the faces of his brothers indifferently. In his eyes, all of their expressions were like the funniest joke in the world.
After that, he shot his gaze towards Gu Tian in the end.
"My poor Lil 'Tian-ge, his thoughts must be very cute right now. However, when Hua Li leaves his side, I wonder if he will cry or laugh at that time? "
Gu Li muttered. At the same time, a faint sigh flashed across the eyes of the elder sitting on the highest seat in the training field.
"None of us paid attention to that brat Gu Li. If we all had ulterior motives, we would definitely let that brat take that title."
Gu De, who had brought Gu Tian back to the capital, looked at Gu Li with a dark gaze. Gu Li merely smiled faintly when he felt the unfriendly gaze, and even nodded towards him.
"That bastard!"
Gu De clenched his fists tightly and said to the people beside him, "Lend me your people.
"Lend me your people. When the time comes, if I am chosen, we can discuss the position of the young patriarch. However, if that bastard Gu Li becomes it, then none of us will have a good time. "
With that, he took out his phone and started to quickly send messages to the other candidates. The contents of the messages were exactly the same as what he had just said.
Dingdong.
Gu Tian's phone rang while he was still in shock. When he took out his phone and saw the message, he subconsciously looked towards Gu De.
At that moment, Gu De was also looking at him. Out of all the candidates, he could not guarantee that Gu Tian would agree with his thoughts.
That kid had always been straight since he was young. All of them knew this in their hearts.
He put his phone back into his pocket without replying. Seeing this scene, Good's eyebrows tightly knitted together, but soon relaxed again.
"Damn, this Gen … Never mind. He doesn't have many supporters. It doesn't matter if he's gone."
Cursing in his mind, Good lowered his head and fiddled with his phone to instill a sense of alignment into other candidates.
"Young Master Xiaotian, what's wrong?" Hua Li said calmly. Gu Tian shrugged and smiled, "Gu De is trying to form an alliance, I didn't respond …"
"It seems a little too late to recruit allies now."
Hua Li's tone was still indifferent, while Gu Tian nodded his head in a non-committal manner.
"I know, right?"
Just then, the horn stopped blowing.
The ancient clan leader stood up from his chair. The surrounding spectators all knew that the election was about to begin. He thought he would hear an impassioned speech, but …
"Let's begin the election. We will dispense with the other rules and regulations. Let's vote!" With such a plain sentence, the Gu Clan Leader took his seat once again.
As the clan leader, he could not be blinded by the outside world. At this moment, he already knew in his heart that the position of Young Patriarch would most likely fall to that child …
The child who had never attracted his attention but had given him a severe blow in the past few days.
"As expected, the older one gets, the more shrewd they become. Grandpa seems to know everything already." Gu Li's smile widened, then his lips curled into a mocking smile. "But he can't stop it now, right? He was the one who started it all. I …. I just took a shortcut!"
After a while, he looked at Goode with a playful expression...
"It's so cute to form a clique. It's just that … when the time comes, the voting might surprise you!"
"Young Master Gu Li, we're leaving."
The elders and guest chamberlains behind him spoke up. Gu Li nodded indifferently.
"Go, think about your family, and decide to vote."
His flat and slightly threatening words caused the expressions of the elders and guests in the surroundings to change, and they nodded with an embarrassed smile before leaving. At the same time, Hua Li, who stood behind Gu Tian, spoke out.
"Young Master Xiaotian, I'm going now."
"Mhmm! Elder Hua, no need to feel troubled. Just vote according to your own thoughts. "
Gu Tian had already lost the desire to compete for the position of the junior family head. The only thing he couldn't accept was being tricked by Gu Li for so long, yet he still had to personally witness Gu Li becoming the junior family head of the Gu family.
The voting took half an hour. During that time, Goode's face was filled with nervousness …
He cupped his fists and silently prayed for the position of junior family head to land on his head.
From start to finish, Gu Li's expression remained calm and collected. He knew very well that this position was his for sure.
"The election is over!"
The Gu family's head butler shouted loudly, then walked in front of the ballot box …
The moment the box was opened, the results were clear.
All the other boxes were empty. Only Gu Li's box was filled with recommendation votes. Of course, not everyone was empty. There was also a vote in Gu Tian's box, which was from Hua Li.
"Gu Li … truly is a child who knows how to endure," the head butler shook his head and sighed.
He glanced towards Gu Li. To have such a scheming mind at such a young age … Actually, it wasn't a good thing.
However, as the head butler of the Gu family, he had to maintain fairness.
He raised his head and looked towards the surrounding people …
"Announcing the results. The candidate with the highest recommendation votes is Gu Li. He will become the junior family head of the Gu family, as well as the first successor to the position of family head! "
Pa.
The phone in Goode's hand instantly fell onto the ground. On the other hand, Gu Li was not surprised at all when he heard the results …
He had already expected all of this.
"Gu Li, come up!"
At that moment, the Gu family head also opened his turbid eyes. Gu Li stood up from the chair with his hands behind his back.
"I protest, I demand to have the votes checked!" Goode roared with bloodshot eyes. "Head butler merely took a look. He didn't even know anything. What right does he have to say that he is the junior family head?"
"Then come up and see for yourself!"
The head butler took a step back indifferently. Goode glared at him and walked up. When he saw the votes in the box …
"Gu Li, you truly played your cards well."
Gu Li gnashed his teeth so hard that they creaked. He smiled and shrugged.
"You look so ugly. Pitiful thing."
Gu Li glanced at him sinisterly, then raised his head up high. At that moment, the head butler also walked up, "Who else has any objections?
"If anyone else has any objections, you can raise them. You can all come up and have your tickets checked. If there are no objections, then the junior family head this time will be Gu Li. "
Everyone lowered their heads with a sigh. Just as Gu Li was about to walk towards the Gu family head in victory …
