The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Chapter 783 Competitors of Lingbao Palace (Part )

After arriving at the destination [Turing Tower], after a series of meticulous security checks, Chen Jing finally took Ah Qi into the only elevator leading to the top floor... and it was also here that Chen Jing met an acquaintance.

Li Mobai's master, the master of Taishang Palace.

Not a Taoist priest.

"It's hard to handle."

The Taoist priest did not bring any followers. After all, Li Mobai seemed to be the only one who caught his eye and was willing to spend time cultivating him.

When he saw Chen Jing and Ah Qi walking in, Wei Taoist deliberately took a step to the side, with the expression on his face still sad.

"Why is it so difficult?" Chen Jing asked with a smile.

"Are you pretending to be stupid with your senior brother again?" Wei Daoist looked at Chen Jing helplessly, thinking that this guy likes to pretend to be stupid too much, "Don't tell me that you don't know about Lingbao Palace!"

"You know a little bit." Chen Jing shrugged.

During the three days before the "Six Decree Dharma Conference" was held in the alchemy room, Chen Jing did hear a lot of gossip from the "Lingbao Palace", and some of the news was even sent to him by private messages from Taoist priests.

That's right.

The owner of Lingbao Palace, "Tan San Zhi", will also participate in this presidential election.

And he is the same as Chen Jing.

He is using all his connections to win votes for himself.

"Tan San Corpse..."

Chen Jing looked at the sad-looking Master Wei, and couldn't help but picture that "senior brother" in his mind.

If we look at individual strength alone, Tan San Zhi can not only hold down "True Monarch Huai Jing", but at least his combat power is on par with him, but he is slightly inferior in terms of magical powers and spells.

But when it comes to the influence within the research association and the reputation of the Hanging City, it is completely impossible for "Zhenjun Huaijing" who is keen on escaping from the world and practicing asceticism to catch up with that senior brother. It is very difficult to catch up with him.

"There are a total of twenty-seven votes in the Nine Palaces and Eighteen Palaces. Putting aside the [Weiyang Palace] and [Lingbao Palace] who announced their candidacy, there are still twenty-five votes left. Finally, we have to throw away Xie Shanke who was killed by you... also Just twenty-four tickets.”

The un-Taoist priest used his fingers to calculate for Chen Jing. The more precise the calculation, the tighter his brows became.

"Judging from the current situation, if nothing unexpected happens, I can get you twelve votes, including myself, but that guy can also win over the remaining twelve..."

"The chance of winning the election is only 50-50." Chen Jing said with a smile, "But Master still has one vote, and that's the key point."

"It's not that easy." Wei Daoshi shook his head, "Master needs to consider many aspects, and whether he can convince the public is also a reference. That vote is not so easy to cast."

Before announcing that the new "Six Decree Law Conference" was about to be held, none of the owners of the Nine Palaces and Eighteen Palaces made it clear that they wanted to participate in the election, so Chen Jing never thought that such an opponent would pop up.

Although Chen Jing still had a smile on his face when he spoke, he actually wanted to curse in his heart.

The reality is indeed as Wei Taoist said, it is very troublesome and not easy. It would be fine if someone else comes out. After all, the master of Weiyang Palace is still very competitive, but the problem is...

That guy is Tan Sanshi, the owner of Lingbao Palace!

Not only is this competitor from the Upper Third Palace, but the senior brother who supports him is also from the Upper Third Palace. There are also many junior brothers and sisters in the Eighteenth Palace who are willing to vote for him, so everyone's chance of winning is 50%. Really The one who can influence the outcome is Turing's vote!

"Tan Sanshi has done a lot of great things for Master over the years, and has made a lot of contributions to the development of the research association. He also maintains better personal connections than you. To be honest... if you can win over him, That’s when I thought there was something shady.”

Wei Taoist sighed helplessly, facing this situation with a headache.

"Anyway, I have squeezed all my connections. Relying on the title of 'Elder Brother', I worked hard to help you get twelve votes. Whether you can win or not depends on you."

"Senior brother, since you think I can't compete with him, why don't you still help me?" Chen Jing asked calmly, "Aren't you afraid of offending Tan Sanzhi and being beaten by him afterwards?"

"You don't have to be a good person even if you get the advantage." Wei Taoist frowned and said, "I'm just more optimistic about you."

Hearing this, Chen Jing just smiled, and the elevator door slowly opened at this time.

<divclass="contentadv">"Let's go, senior brother, let's go to the meeting."

"Ugh……"

If Chen Jing had indeed helped Wei Taoist intercede for Turing, then all Wei Taoist's current actions are understandable.

Returning favors, isn’t that what it’s all about?

But the problem is...

Chen Jing didn't help him, or rather, he didn't have time to help him yet.

Before Chen Jing could find Turing to plead for mercy, Turing contacted them first. That is to say, on the day when Li Mobai's clone was swept away, Turing personally gave Wei Taoist a satisfactory answer.

Therefore, all Wei Taoist's current actions seemed a bit abnormal to Chen Jing.

There are no favors or interests involved.

Why are you working so hard to canvass votes for me?

Think about it.

Chen Jing only felt that the words that the Taoist priest was talking about might be true.

"I just think more highly of you."

This sentence sounded like a polite statement, but Chen Jing always felt that it was the truth. He even doubted whether Turing had given Wei Taoist some hint.

"Although the situation is not optimistic, you still have a chance." Before he strode into the conference room, Wei Taoist gently patted Chen Jing on the shoulder, "Don't give up at this juncture."

give up?

Chen Jing couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard the Taoist priest's worries.

Although the competitors are very strong, to be honest, Chen Jing still feels that he has the best chance of being elected, because he knows Turing's character very well. In this relatively delicate situation, his vote will not be cast for someone who is suitable for him. People will only vote for those they need.

Is there any need to say what kind of people Turing needs?

Loyal, fanatical.

Absolutely no hesitation in execution.

That's what it takes.

And what kind of person is Tan San Zhi?

Judging from the memories of "Zhenjun Huaijing", Tan Sanshi is a standard smiling tiger. He has no unwavering desire to pursue the great road. He is too smooth and full of worldliness.

The moment you enter the conference room.

Chen Jing felt that many eyes were focused on him.

Before he could take a closer look, a smiling alchemist wearing a Taoist robe walked over.

"Junior brother Huai Jing! I heard that you are also going to participate in this election!"

"Yes, Senior Brother Tan..." Chen Jing bowed to the other party with a smile on his face, "You must be merciful to Junior Brother."

Upon hearing this, the other party hurriedly bowed and returned the courtesy, and his mouth was also modest and polite, without any smell of gunpowder.

"It's out of the question! I'm just campaigning for fun!"
