Chapter 1169: Voting Begin
Editor: Atlas Studios
After four hours, the beast tide was finally killed.
The entire Temple of Blessing Village erupted with joyful roars.
They had thought that they would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of the beast tide this time, but they had withstood it under such an extreme disadvantage.
This feeling of surviving a calamity made them cheer.
Then, the villagers behind who did not have any combat strength knelt down towards Mu Shi and the others outside the fence.
It had nothing to do with seniority. She was just thanking them.
...
“Zhao Ya, thank you for saving the Temple of Blessing Village!”
“Zhang He, don’t always come and steal my cows in the future. Just say the word and eat as much as you want!”
Zhao Ya did not react. His expression was still cold.
Zhang He grinned.
As the burly men received treatment from Little Shu and Medicine Master Wang, they laughed loudly and said, “Little Meng, Little Shu. Of course, there are others. The Temple of Blessing Village has to thank you for being able to survive this!”
Xu Meng nodded.
When Little Shu, who was healing someone, heard the villagers’ words, his face immediately turned red and he hurriedly waved his hand. “I didn’t do anything…”
“Little Shu, don’t be modest with us.” The burly man who was being treated by Little Shu endured the pain and smiled. “If you hadn’t healed us, this fence would have collapsed long ago!”
Even though it sounded like nothing, their words had already revealed who they were more biased towards.
Ai Xue snorted and turned to leave.
Niu Zhong and the other three looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
How could he be in a good mood when his plan failed and he was intercepted…
At this moment, Ye Qiubai and Mu Fusheng returned.
Seeing this, Hong Ying asked, “Oh? Big Senior Brother has broken through to the Divine Emperor Realm? Looks like you’ve gained a lot this time.”
Blackie asked, “What about Xin Hongyi?”
Ye Qiubai and Mu Fusheng’s expressions were solemn.
Seeing this expression, the others also guessed something.
“His strength exceeds our imagination.” Ye Qiubai’s tone was a little heavy.
Mu Fusheng nodded in agreement. “Her strength seems to be brought about by the power of her bloodline… She is now at the peak of the Divine Emperor Realm, but even if I release the power of a half-step Divine Master Realm, I will not be able to defeat her successfully. At most, I will only gain some advantage.”
Hearing Mu Fusheng and Ye Qiubai’s words, their expressions changed slightly.
“From the looks of it, the bloodline power of the Demon Realm is no small matter.”
Ye Qiubai nodded. “At least according to the current intelligence.”
“However, she has no intention of attacking us now. Let’s wait and see.”
…
After the beast tide, the villagers’ votes had basically been decided.
Everyone knew this.
Therefore, in the last period of time, Ye Qiubai and the others didn’t think about how to help their disciples fight for votes. Instead, they did their best to nurture their disciples.
He was the disciple they had chosen and accepted after all. After this period of time, they would definitely have to part.
It was impossible to bring these disciples who had yet to grow up everywhere.
Naturally, he had to teach them all the cultivation methods.
They would have to rely on themselves for the rest of the journey.
As the saying went, the master led the way, but the cultivation depended on the individual.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the votes.
The villagers gathered in front of the four stone houses. Ye Qiubai and the others also appeared with their disciples.
One of the old men stood out. He was the Village Chief of the Temple of Blessing Village.
The village chief smiled and said, “Alright, the owners of these four stone houses have been vacant for a long time. I believe everyone has someone they want to choose this time.”
“According to the rules, everyone has one vote. As the village chief, I have three votes. You can write down the people you’ve chosen and hand them to me.”
The villagers chatted and laughed, but they did not hesitate to write down their names and submit the votes.
Obviously, they had already decided on the candidate in their hearts.
Ye Qiubai and the others didn’t react to this scene.
On the other hand, Mu Shi and the others looked nervous.
Niu Zhong and the other three from Ai Xue’s side widened their eyes.
Not long after, the votes had already been tallied. Each piece of paper was pasted on a board with the name of each contestant for the stone house.
Fifth place, Mu Shi, 21 votes.
Fourth place, Zhao Ya, 24 votes.
Third place, Zhang He, 31 votes.
Second place, Little Shu, 67 votes.
The first place was Xu Meng, leading the crowd with 104 votes!
All of this could be expected.
Xu Meng was a commander and a general after all. After the beast tide, everyone saw Xu Meng’s leadership ability, so the votes naturally increased.
And the most unexpected person was actually Little Shu.
Even Little Shu herself was stunned.
I don’t know why I got so many votes!
Mu Wan’er saw through everything and explained with a smile, “This is what I should do. Don’t think that treating illnesses and saving people is not comparable to killing people.”
“Sometimes, logistical support is also the key to victory in a war!”
“Besides, you saved so many people. The villagers saw it.”
“But… but I’m not interested in this!” Little Shu hurriedly said.
Mu Wan’er shrugged and said, “Do whatever you want. If you don’t want to do it, just forfeit.”
Hence, Little Shu nodded happily. Then, he raised his hand and waved it. “That… That… Village Chief, I want to forfeit!”
The village chief was stunned.
Wang Dan, who was beside Ai Xue, also had an ugly expression.
Mu Wan’er had originally taken a fancy to her talent and could have become her disciple.
But now, he didn’t even enter the top eight, not to mention the top four!
What about Little Shu?
After cultivating with Mu Wan’er, not only did he get second place, but in the end, Little Shu directly forfeited something that everyone else was pursuing?
At this moment, Wang Dan’s heart was filled with regret.
If he hadn’t transferred to Ai Xue back then, wouldn’t the second place be his now?
However, it was useless to say anything now. Wang Dan could only accept his fate.
Due to Little Shu’s forfeiture, the third and fourth place naturally went to Zhao Ya and Mu Shi.
Niu Zhong followed closely behind.
Niu Zhong’s votes were only two votes behind Mu Shi’s.
Niu Zhong stood up and looked at Mu Shi. He said with a dark expression, “Why? I’m so much stronger than you, but you have two more votes than me?”
It was not just because of the difference between the two votes.
What Niu Zhong didn’t want to admit was that he had chosen Ai Xue between Ye Qiubai and Ai Xue.
However, Ye Qiubai’s disciple, Mu Shi, was two votes higher than him!
This was already a slap in the face!
“Chief, don’t you still have three votes left?”
The village chief nodded.
Niu Zhong said in a deep voice, “I want to fight Mu Shi. If I win, the village chief will vote for me!”
The village chief had no objections. After all, he had originally wanted to vote for Xu Meng. Since Xu Meng had become the champion without any pressure, he could do whatever he wanted.
He looked at Mu Shi and asked, “Mu Shi, do you agree?”
Mu Shi glanced at Ye Qiubai.
Ye Qiubai said, “You can decide for yourself.”
Hearing this, Mu Shi nodded and pulled out the Dark Demon Sword with a determined expression. He pointed the tip of the sword at Niu Zhong and said, “Since I lost to you previously, I’ll defeat you in this spar.”
What do you think?
