Chapter 1180: On Whose Orders?
Yes.
Even with Ji Ru Yu's support, what can it change?
It's just a big family.
There are still three other big families.
And the Divine Stone Workshop.
The presidents of these sorcerer's guilds, aside from admiring Wang Ye's preparations, have nothing else.
Though some guilds have formed alliances with the Ji Family.
They did not vote alongside Ji Ru Yu.
They don't want to offend the Sorcerer's Headquarters Minister, the other three families, and the Divine Stone Workshop because of this.
Since they've allied with the Ji Family, naturally, they drink and feast with them, not offend others following them.
Even though Xue Sheng feels uncomfortable, knowing Wang Ye can't defeat him makes him feel slightly better.
But due to the previous two waves of events, just as he's feeling a bit better, someone steps forward, and Xue Sheng has an ominous feeling again.
"Alright, no more thinking. At this point, almost everyone has already shown their stance, thinking beyond this is pointless. Wang Ye is, after all, just a young man in his twenties."
Xue Sheng comforts himself.
Smiling at Wang Ye, he speaks to Wang Ye: "Wang Ye, by now those willing to vote for you have almost all done so. Next, we'll arrange the voting time for others."
"Wait!"
Xue Sheng froze.
This voice sounded right next to him, and he knew who it came from.
Ye Chen!
Ye Chen told him to wait?
What's he planning?
The worries he had just suppressed, now intensified, giving Xue Sheng an even stronger premonition.
Ye Chen politely stood up, greeted Xue Sheng briefly, glanced at Wang Ye, then spoke courteously to Xue Sheng:
"Minister Xue, I think Wang Ye's plans are quite good, so I vote for Wang Ye."
Ye Chen consistently displayed perfect manners, but Xue Sheng felt that because of Ye Chen's words, Ye Chen was always offending him!
"You…"
Xue Sheng originally wanted to confirm with Ye Chen but then thought of something, waved his hand weakly, motioning Ye Chen to sit down.
He remembered.
Back when Wang Ye and Ye Chen finished their competition, Ye Chen told Wang Ye that he would accept the bet and keep his promise.
It seems.
This was probably helping Wang Ye with that vote.
Xue Sheng felt a bit weary.
Ji Ru Yu was saved by Wang Ye and voted for him, that's understandable.
But Ye Chen, just based on a bet with Wang Ye, directly cast a vote for him.
That ruined Ye Chen's own interests!
Ye Chen, the prodigy of the Ye Family in this generation, extremely adored within, even if the Family Head of the Ye Family were present, since Ye Chen wants to vote for Wang Ye, he would certainly follow Ye Chen's choice.
But…
Ye Chen is too wasteful!
Wasting his own family name!
The expressions of other sorcerer presidents began to change.
Ji Ru Yu.
Ye Chen.
Two people from the four big families, voted directly for Wang Ye.
Among the four big families.
It is entirely half and half.
This time.
The sorcerer guild presidents didn't even discuss further.
Instead, they turned their gaze to the other two family's prodigies.
Will they vote for Wang Ye?
If any of them votes for Wang Ye, then it's the three families!
By that time, voting for Wang Ye would become an inevitable scenario.
At this moment.
Before, the presidents who thought Wang Ye couldn't become the Sorcerer Minister were hesitating.
Possibly, Wang Ye may actually succeed.
It only depends on the opinions of these two family prodigies.
The remaining two prodigies suddenly being watched by so many guild presidents, and Xue Sheng, helplessly glanced at Ye Chen and Ji Ru Yu.
Those two, were indeed prodigal sons.
Voting for Wang Ye?
Wang Ye is damaging their interest!
They certainly wouldn't do that.
Sun Tinghou stood up, and Xue Sheng's heart suddenly skipped.
Sun Tinghou looked at Wang Ye, apologetically speaking: "Wang Ye, although your sorcerer skills are indeed excellent, I'm afraid my vote can't go to you."
"It's alright."
Wang Ye waved his hand with a smile.
Completely unconcerned.
Xue Sheng exhaled in relief.
He looked at the last family prodigy.
That prodigy immediately expressed his stance.
Not voting for Wang Ye.
Xue Sheng finally let out a sigh of relief.
Good.
For a moment there, Xue Sheng almost thought this young man, Wang Ye, might really overturn and become the Sorcerer Headquarters Minister this time.
Now, among the four big families, two voted for Wang Ye, two didn't, stabilizing the situation.
Moreover, there's the master of the Divine Stone Workshop.
Also a key figure.
The master of the Divine Stone Workshop…
Despite this, when Xue Sheng thought of the master of the Divine Stone Workshop, he was supposed to feel assured, but now it was all gone, feeling even a bit anxious.
Thinking of the master of the Divine Stone Workshop's appreciative gaze towards Wang Ye.
Xue Sheng's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
He turned to look at the master, who sat nearby.
He was with disbelief and insight.
While other guild presidents noticed Xue Sheng's expression change when looking towards the master, they were puzzled.
What's with Xue Sheng…
Why is he looking at the master now?
Is Xue Sheng suspecting that the master would also vote for Wang Ye?
Don't be absurd.
That's impossible!
It's known the master started as a poor man, later earned wealth, establishing the capital for Divine Stone Workshop.
In this situation.
The master would protect his assets firmly.
Someone wants the master to spend money and hurt his interests?
That's entirely impossible!
In his mind, Xue Sheng felt it impossible for the master too.
Yet as he glanced at the master, the master smiled and said: "Minister Xue, I'm acting under orders."
"Under orders?"
Xue Sheng was slightly stunned.
Under whose orders?
