NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1178: Surely No One Will Vote for Wang Ye
Yet Ye Chen, upon hearing Wang Ye's words, remained calm as usual, with no change in his expression.
He knew.
In the competition with Wang Ye, he could sense the confidence emanating from him.
Wang Ye's goal from the beginning was to aim for the first place, which felt natural to him.
Some guild presidents were initially hesitant following Wang Ye's statement, but now looked at him with a certain eagerness to try.
Such courage and thoughtfulness from a young man, coupled with Wang Ye's achievements in the mage path, and the plan Wang Ye just outlined, were indeed captivating.
However, more guild presidents remained calm.
One cannot vote for Wang Ye casually.
After all, Wang Ye was directly addressing a reform within the mage circle.
If they voted for Wang Ye impulsively, it would be tantamount to opposing others.
If Wang Ye indeed became the Head of the Sorcerer Headquarters, there wouldn't be any issues; but if he didn't.
They would definitely be finished.
Will someone vote for Wang Ye?
Definitely not!
Wang Ye's previous words infringed on the interests of many present.
The master of the Divine Stone Workshop.
The four great families among the sorcerers.
And all these parties were bigwig figures.
Wang Ye had even infringed upon the interests of these people, and still hoped to gain votes?
Dreaming!
Wang Ye's self-introduction just needed to be viewed, to stimulate oneself internally, but if truly wishing to support Wang Ye, it would be better to forget it.
Unless you are really determined, once the support for Wang Ye fails, you wouldn't continue in the sorcerer's circle anymore.
Otherwise, it's better to honestly vote for Xue Sheng as Head of the Sorcerer Headquarters.
"Alright, Wang Ye's introduction was wonderful; from Wang Ye's planning after becoming the Sorcerer Minister, it's evident that Wang Ye is a daring thinker and doer, truly a prodigy among the younger generation."
Xue Sheng praised Wang Ye.
After all, Wang Ye wouldn't get the votes anyway, having already scrutinized the gaze of these sorcerer's guild presidents present, Xue Sheng roughly understood their thoughts.
And the master of the Divine Stone Workshop, along with the four great families, he had no worries at all.
After all, Wang Ye's plans had harmed mostly the interests of the master of the Divine Stone Workshop and the four great families, and this was why the presidents of the other sorcerer's guilds didn't vote for Wang Ye.
So, what harm was there in Xue Sheng complimenting Wang Ye?
It could even make him appear more magnanimous.
"Are there any others wishing to participate in the selection for Head of the Sorcerer Headquarters?"
Xue Sheng asked again.
No one else stood up.
"Alright, then let's commence the first round of voting. Since Wang Ye, as a young man, bravely stood up, let's start the voting with Wang Ye as the first option."
"Also, it's good to give the young ones a chance."
Xue Sheng said this with a bit of a smug look towards Wang Ye.
A faint smile hung on his face.
To others, Xue Sheng's smile carried a hint of encouragement.
But only Xue Sheng knew.
What his smile truly meant.
Mockery.
Kid, weren't you trying to overturn the entire sorcerer's circle?
Aren't you aiming to become the Sorcerer Minister?
Alright.
Then I'll let everyone present give you a round of voting first.
Giving you a chance, letting you experience how cruel the sorcerer's circle truly is.
Sometimes, even if your idea is good, so what?
When your ideas harm the majority or the primary interests of a group, there will be no one to support you.
As soon as Xue Sheng's voice fell.
Among other sorcerer's guild presidents, except for Zhou Ke, the eyes of others turned towards Wang Ye with a hint of mockery.
They understood Xue Sheng's intentions.
It was meant to show Wang Ye how laughable his idea was in just one round.
Wang Ye probably wouldn't even be able to get a single vote.
At this moment.
Zhou Ke stood up, looked at Wang Ye encouragingly, and said, "I'll give Wang Ye my vote!"
Upon Zhou Ke's words, Xue Sheng and the other presidents looked at Zhou Ke with some surprise.
If Zhou Ke wanted to make Wang Ye a puppet, essentially desiring to be the minister himself, everyone could accept Zhou Ke voting for Wang Ye at this moment.
But Wang Ye had already stated.
This was not Zhou Ke's plan.
But Wang Ye's own idea.
Some presidents began to discuss secretly:
"Is Zhou Ke crazy at this moment? Wang Ye surely can't become the Head of the Sorcerer Headquarters. After this vote ends, Zhou Ke will surely be targeted by Xue Sheng and the four great families, and at that time, Zhou Ke will definitely never be able to become the president of the Wei City Mage Guild again."
"It's probably because of his promise to Wang Ye; after all, Wei City Mage Guild stayed because of Wang Ye's influence. Otherwise, Wei City Mage Guild would've been dissolved by now."
"Even so, it's not worthwhile. After all, Wei City Mage Guild just survived, but Zhou Ke hasn't continued as president, and due to mispositioning in the Sorcerer Headquarters Minister's selection, he can't continue, then preserving Wei City Mage Guild holds no meaning."
These sorcerer's guild presidents looking at Zhou Ke's choice felt perplexed, thinking Zhou Ke voting for Wang Ye was indeed mad.
Yet just as they were discussing secretly.
A voice suddenly rang out from one of the guild presidents: "I represent the Liu City Sorcerers' Guild and vote to support Wang Ye!"
Another vote!
The other sorcerer's guild presidents turned their heads towards this president.
In their eyes was disbelief.
Even Xue Sheng was surprised as he looked at this person.
Zhou Ke voting for Wang Ye, though hard to understand, was conceivable.
But Liu City Sorcerers' Guild voting for Wang Ye, he genuinely couldn't comprehend!
The president of the Liu City Sorcerers' Guild then sat down and glanced towards Ji Ru Yu's side.
Seeing this, Wang Ye immediately understood.
This was a vote Ji Ru Yu had garnered.
Wang Ye glanced at Ji Ru Yu.
Ji Ru Yu happened to look over at Wang Ye.
