Chapter 2873: Asking for Shame

an dared not speak his true thoughts and said, "Actually, matters between men and women are simply following the laws of nature. Since we want to achieve the supreme Dao and yet go against the natural...When Gong Junyi finished speaking, Zhang Qichu and Shi Wanqing beside him nodded frequently. They clearly realized this as well.

It's obvious that the recent outcome was influenced by Wensu, but she could only sway a dozen or so individuals. It's impossible for her to influence over a hundred Mahayana experts present here.

"Well then, since we're electing an alliance leader today, let's do it fairly and justly, with virtue prevailing."

Looking at the three people before her, Wen Susu's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible hint of mockery.

Now, in her heart, these three people were no different from clowns. Ye Bufan's charisma was something she knew all too well, far surpassing these individuals before her.

Turning back to the crowd, she once again presided: "Those monks and nuns who have reached the Great Vehicle stage and above, please stand up."

Now we are holding a second vote. Everyone, please raise your hands if you agree to have Gong Junyi as the leader.

The three people on stage, Zhang Qicuo included, were originally full of anticipation, thinking that this time the situation could come a 180-degree turn.

Even in his dreams, he never would have imagined that the two who raised their hands were still him and Shi Wanqing. Although over a hundred cultivators at the Great Ascension stage stood up below, there was an eerie silence, not a single person raising their hand in agreement.

Gong Junyi was completely dumbfounded, unable to figure out what was going on at all.

Zhang Qichu is the same. Although he came from Xuantianmen and was a core disciple, he had been out training for over a year and knew nothing about what had happened to Ye Bufan. He didn't understand why the situation before him existed.

Wensusu's voice was soft, "Senior Brother Gong has two votes. Those who agree to appoint Zhang Qi Chu as the leader, please raise your hands."

Gong Junyi and Shi Wanqing raised their hands in agreement, but they were the only two.

"This..."

Zhang QiChu's eyes were wide open, as big as bells, how could this be

He suddenly thought of something, took a step forward and shouted to the audience below, "Listen carefully everyone Although you are all at the Mahayana stage of cultivation, you still have the right to vote."

In his view, these Arhats in the audience probably didn't understand the rules and still thought they didn't have the right to vote.

After he finished speaking, there was still no reaction from the audience.

At that moment, a jarring voice cut in: "We know we can vote, but we don't want to vote for you."

The speaker is a beautiful young female cultivator, one of the furnace cauldrons Ye Bufan brought out from Paradise Island.

In fact, over a hundred of the Great Vehicle cultivators present were basically those he had saved.

And in Tianluo Prefecture, there were a few locals who worshipped him like a god. In this situation, they naturally wouldn't vote for anyone else.

This female cultivator has a forthright personality. She had already been resentful of their repeated mistreatment of Ye Bufan before, so this time she stood up to speak out for him.

With her leading the way, everyone else in the audience shouted in unison: "That's right, we just don't want to vote for you!"

"I..."

Zhang Qichu didn't expect that his well-intentioned suggestion would turn into a self-inflicted humiliation.

Originally, no one voted for him, it was just a bit embarrassing. Now this embarrassment has been magnified a hundred times over, becoming the laughingstock of the audience. A burst of laughter erupted from below.

At this moment, he was both ashamed and angry. His old face flushed red like a pig liver, yet he had nowhere to vent his frustration. He almost choked on his own anger.

Wen Su Su looked at him, shaking her head. Her eyes were full of disdain.

"Okay, let's continue voting. Those in favor of Ye Yixian as the alliance leader, please raise your hands."

"Whoosh!"

The scene from before played out again, with the crowd below raising their arms in unison. The only difference was that there were ten times as many people this time.

"I..."

Seeing this scene, Gong Junyi felt like he had eaten a fly. He originally thought that this method could prevent Ye Bufan from being elected, but it only added more votes to him.

All of this was within Wensusu's expectations. They were able to be reborn, all thanks to Ye Bufan. In the hearts of these people, Ye Yixian was like a god, so how could they possibly vote for anyone else.

She turned back, “Senior Brother Gong, do you have any objections to this result”

"I..."

Gong Junyi was speechless. Everything had gone exactly as he said it would. Though he still didn't want to see Ye Bufan become the leader, he couldn't say anything about it.

"I disagree!"

Zhang Qi Chu angrily stood up, “I think the voting range is still too small. Everyone should be allowed to participate in the vote, after all, our alliance represents the entire Tian Luo Prefecture!”

At this moment, the scene of his grand entrance and being welcomed with admiration by the crowd still lingered in his mind. He couldn't believe that he could be voted out despite such a warm reception.

Wensu's eyes were full of sarcasm: "Are you sure"

Zhang Qichu's voice was firm: "Of course, it has to be a vote by everyone so that it can be fair and just!"

He may not want to be the leader, but he can't afford to lose face in front of his loved one.

"As you wish."

Wen Su Su once again looked down at the crowd, "Everyone has heard it now, since that's the case, let's have a vote together."

"I agree to Gong Shixiong being the leader of our alliance."

With her cultivation, even though there were thousands of people present, her voice was still crystal clear and reached every person's ears.

For a moment, the air was thick with silence. No one in the audience reacted, leaving only Shi Wanqing and Zhang Qiaochu on stage, raising their arms awkwardly and uncomfortably.

Gong Junyi's face grew increasingly ugly. This way, there was no change, and instead his face was trampled on in public once again.

Zhang Qi chu was filled with anticipation, in his heart he believed he still had a chance to turn things around.

Wen Susu continued, "I agree with Zhang Qichu's nomination as the leader."

After he finished speaking, the scene remained unchanged. This time, even Gong Jinyi was too lazy to raise his hand. Only Shi Wanqing stood alone with her arm raised.

"I... This can't be, it simply can't be!"

Zhang Qi chu could hardly believe his eyes. He stared wide-eyed at the audience below, but no one raised their hand.

"Wen Susu smiled faintly, "I agree to Ye Yixian becoming the leader of the alliance!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone in the audience raised their hands in unison, a sea of arms stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Long live Doctor Ye!"

"Long live Dr. Ye!"

"Long live Doctor Ye!"

The audience erupted in cheers, gazing at the young man on stage with a mixture of excitement and admiration.

It was he who made Tiansuo Prefecture stand out in the competition of geniuses and prodigies.

He is the one who secured the most spots for Tianluo Prefecture in the Ten-Tier Heavenly Ascension Tower's trials.

It was he who brought back endless cultivation resources for the cultivators of Tianluo Prefecture.

... It was he who unified the three major sects, bringing an end to all internal strife in Tianluo Prefecture from then on...

It is precisely because of this that today's Ye Bufan is a god in the hearts of many cultivators in Tianluo Prefecture, holding an unparalleled and unrivaled status.

Hearing the cheers of the crowd and seeing the excitement in their eyes, Zhang Qi Chu only now understood.

It turns out these people were welcoming that young man, and I just happened to walk in front of him. What a ridiculous misunderstanding!ed possessions as gifts."Well… hello there. I'm Ye Big Brother's best friend, and this is a gift for the young lady…"This guy, who usually has a carefree demeanor, is now incredibly nervous. He speaks...
