Chapter 132: The hole cards are out
"Lin Yan, seventeen votes!"
"Lu Xinghe, thirteen votes!"
Elder Ouyang's voice was cold, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.
As his voice sounded, there were already disciples on the side of the square who were drawing straight words under the names of Lu Xinghe and Lin Yan.
So far, Lin Yan has received a total of 236 votes, and Lu Xinghe has less, only 211 votes.
Almost most of the elders and disciples present cast their own votes.
What made Lin Yan's face turn blue was that the number of votes he received at this time was somewhat inconsistent with his own expectations.
I have to say that Lin Yan has just gotten half of the total of 472 votes, and it can be said that he is invincible.
But that didn't satisfy him.
Originally, his activities in the dark were to pull more than half of the votes, and it could almost reach seventy percent of the total votes, which would be a very big advantage.
It's a pity that it is obvious that Lu Xinghe's side is not completely inactive, and many elders who have already said that they will stand on Lin Yan's side temporarily turn back to Lu Xinghe.
That's why he just got half of the votes.
But the advantage is still there.
Four hundred and seventy-two votes is just a theoretical vote, Lin Yan knows that there will be some abstentions, and if he gets just half of the votes, he will definitely occupy at least one first.
If the final voting result does not increase the number of votes of the two to more than 10 votes, then even if they only have one more vote than the other party, they will be judged to have this first-mover advantage.
Lu Xinghe can still get the tickets where he can ...... There are only ten votes from Elder Ouyang, right?
Lin Yan secretly calculated in his heart that at this time, the deacons and elders and core disciples in the audience had already finished voting, and Elder Ouyang, who was the vote-bearer, still had ten votes in hand.
Sure enough, when this thought just came to his mind, he saw Elder Ouyang look around the field, nodded and said, "Then, it's time for the old man to vote, and the old man votes for Lu Xinghe...... Ten votes!"
The Third Elder was originally from Lu Xinghe's side, and it was not unexpected for Lin Yan to make this choice.
So he sneered and saw that the vengeful disciple had exactly two straight words written under Lu Xinghe's name.
At this time, Lu Xinghe's votes were two hundred and twenty-one votes!
So what?
Lin Yan sneered in his heart, didn't he still have a gap of sixteen votes with him?
Sixteen votes can give him a chance to make a first move plus an extra attack, which is also enough.
That's about it, right?
Lin Yan glanced sideways, and looked at the Great Elder on the field silently.
Although this Great Elder was the head of the three core elders, he had long since ignored the affairs of the world, just waiting for a suitable successor to take his place.
Lin Yan believed that the Great Elder would not easily stand in line, and when he secretly wooed the Elder at that time, he only slightly tested the Great Elder's attitude, and then decisively chose to give up.
There are many so-called mistakes, instead of trying hard to win over the Great Elder, it is better to let him maintain this neutrality, in case he angers the Great Elder and makes him fall to Lu Xinghe's side, it will not be good.
Now even Elder Ouyang's vote has been cast, and there are only fifteen votes left outside.
There were ten votes for the Great Elder, and five votes for Elder Li.
These two people, one is indifferent to fame and fortune, and the other is only focused on Dandao, they are both people that Lin Yan can't woo, and he also believes that Lu Xinghe can't win over either.
Therefore, these fifteen votes must be counted as abstentions.
After the scoring disciple finished marking the two straight characters, Lin Yan waited for a while, and then sneered: "It's gone, right?"
Lu Xinghe turned his head to look at him and did not speak.
With the current situation, his disadvantage is to take advantage, let Lin Yan, who is already a step above him, take the lead, plus a trick to eat the other party, even Lu Xinghe can't resist.
From Lu Xinghe's face, he didn't find any angry or corrupt expression, he behaved calmly.
"The voting is not over yet, why did Brother Lin say this?"
Lin Yan glanced at him, and was about to sneer at him, when suddenly, a person who he didn't think would vote suddenly spoke at this moment.
"So...... The old man's sense of existence is so low that no one cares about my five votes?"
The person who spoke was Elder Li, the chief alchemist of the Burning Sun Sect, who should have been a very valued existence.
As soon as these words came out, not to mention that Lin Yan's heart on the field shook violently, even the thousands of disciples and deacons and elders below also turned their heads to look at them in amazement.
Elder Li was right when he said this.
In everyone's hearts, his sense of existence is indeed very weak, and some elders who have not accurately calculated the number of votes present even think that there are indeed no extra votes now.
It was only when he opened his mouth that these people suddenly remembered that it was in the hands of this strange-tempered alchemist...... There are also five tickets.
Lin Yan's iron-blue face, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Elder Li opened his mouth at this time, obviously he didn't want to vote for him, so naturally it was for Lu Xinghe.
It's ridiculous that he had been trying to win over the other party before, but as a result, this person was actually from Lu Xinghe's side, and he was really hidden deep enough!
Suddenly, a trace of resentment flashed in his expression.
Originally, he was not going to move the chief alchemist, but after the other party had already revealed his identity...... After Lu Xinghe and Ling Yi, the next one will be you!
Lin Yan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his face was neither yin nor yang: "Five votes, it's really a lot." ”
The scoring disciple hurriedly added another straight word to Lu Xinghe, and at this time, the gap between the two was shrunk to ten votes.
If there is a difference of ten votes, Kankan is a first move, and Lin Yan can't make one more move to beat Lu Xinghe.
It was the key to Elder Li's five votes that could be seen, and it also made the killing intent in Lin Yan's heart expand more and more.
"Is that okay now?"
Lin Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Do you still have any hole cards?"
This is to ask Lu Xinghe.
The latter shook his head, unable to see his joy or anger, but said, "No." ”
Elder Li is a chess piece that he has been hiding, winning the crucial five votes for him, and here in Lu Xinghe, he really has no hole cards in terms of voting.
But he didn't, and the other did.
It was still Elder Li who spoke, this grumpy old man was surprisingly calm today, and said indifferently: "He is gone, I still have it." ”
"You!"
Lin Yan was furious, "Your vote has already been cast, what do you want?"
"yes, but there's still one person who didn't vote. ”
Elder Li pointed to the square, if that finger could be extended, he could see that as far as his fingertips could reach, it was not the three people in the square, including Elder Ouyang, but directly crossed over and pointed at the Great Elder's body.
"Old Tang, I want you to return that favor of mine today!"
The corners of Elder Li's mouth grinned, and he said unceremoniously to the Great Elder.
