Chapter 2272: The Way Back (5) Chapter 2272: The Way Back (5)
Translator : MoonWhisperer, Jialat Editor : Skyrise, Justtry123, Pluto
The Seventh Elder, who had been calmly drinking tea, was momentarily shocked. Astonished, he looked at Fairy Wu You, his eyes also faintly drifting to Su Luo.
But--how could Wu You lose to that newcomer? The Seventh Elder maintained his confidence in Fairy Wu You, and so he continued drinking his tea leisurely.
Fairy Wu You could barely remain seated.
"I demand for the person counting the ballots to be changed!!!" Fairy Wu You slammed the table and stood up. "Li Youyun was the one who Su Luo sent the Spiritual Fire to. Who knows if he purposely counted some of the ballots as Su Luo's!"
The one counting ballots right now was none other than the one whom Su Luo had given the Spiritual Fire to.
With a frosty expression, Li Youyun solemnly said, "Fairy Wu You, please look at things clearly. For the sake of fairness, the Eighth Elder looks over each ballot before I announce them. Are you questioning the Eighth Elder?"
Fairy Wu You really wanted to say that the Eighth Elder had always sided with Su Luo, and that he had even nearly killed himself for her sake in the little black room!
But who would actually believe that…?
"It can’t be that Fairy Wu You is actually going to lose, right?"
"At first, I didn't think she would lose, but look, she's already lost confidence in herself and is beginning to panic. Seeing this, I think Su Luo is the more poised and generous one out of the two."
"True. Fairy Wu You has always treated the Spiritual Fire as a treasure, but Su Luo was able to just give it away so freely. Looking at it from this perspective, Su Luo is much more generous."
Many people whispered to one another throughout the classroom, causing Fairy Wu You to feel so mad that she almost fainted.
The Eighth Elder cast an icy glance at Fairy Wu You. "You dare question my integrity?"
Anyone could see that the Eighth Elder was truly angry.
The Seventh Elder faintly smiled. "Old Eighth, what are you so agitated for? Fairy Wu You is still a child. She’s not very understanding of things."
After placating the Eighth Elder, the Seventh Elder coldly eyed Wu You. "Hurry up and sit down. Where is your decency? Do you not have confidence in yourself?"
Fairy Wu You had no choice but to sit down indignantly, her gaze fixated on Li Youyun.
Li Youyun once again started counting the ballots.
But this time, he was more deliberate about it. After the Eighth Elder, he also let the Seventh Elder look over it. The Seventh Elder was Fairy Wu You's master, so surely she would have no more suspicions after he too had a look?
"One for Su Luo."
"One for Su Luo."
"One for Su Luo."
"One for Fairy Wu You."
"One for Su Luo."
"One for Su Luo."
……
Fairy Wu You's face turned frightfully ashen, as if dark clouds had cast a shadow over her. She clenched her fists tightly, and the blue veins on the back of her hands pulsated agitatedly.
She glared at Su Luo with a burning-hot gaze!
The Seventh Elder, who had been leisurely reclining in his seat, now sat straight up…
He had thought that Wu You would definitely win, so he had prepared something really good for her—a Spirit Absorbing Stone, which was of great help to one's cultivation.
And it was because it was only intended for Wu You that he had forced himself to grit his teeth and give it away, but who knew…
At this moment, the Seventh Elder seriously wished he could stuff that gift back up his sleeve.
Looking at the gift on the table, the Seventh Elder had a complicated expression, and he stared at Su Luo with a cold glint in his eyes!
The final results were out.
Su Luo had 17 votes!
Fairy Wu You had 13 votes!
Once Li Youyun announced the final results, the entire venue was shocked, and was followed by utter silence--because everyone noticed the Seventh Elder's unsightly, ashen face.
When everyone's eyes were fixed on the Seventh Elder, only then did the old man realize that he was being too conspicuous.
