The night banquet was over, everyone dispersed, and only the river flowed eastward, never to return.
After having breakfast at the Chen family villa, Fang Yun went to the Holy Court again to start the next day's meeting.
When some great scholars or family heads saw Fang Yun, they were no longer as enthusiastic as they were the day before, and instead they were at a loss.
The two proposals proposed by Fang Yun yesterday both went awry. The saints vetoed them, and Yan Ningshan discussed them again. I wonder what will happen today.
Before entering the House of Representatives Hall, Fang Yun received a secret message from Chen Mingding.
"I just received news that Weng Shi and the Za family actually lobbied all parties overnight yesterday, insisting that the position of the Elder of the Blood Mang Palace must be held by a great scholar. If nothing unexpected happens, more than 70% of people agree today, and the Blood Mang Grand Scholar will never be allowed to interfere with the position of Elder."
"What do you think?" Fang Yun asked via voice transmission.
Chen Mingding sighed and said, "If it weren't for you, I would definitely agree. I think it's better to wait until your status is higher and a great scholar emerges in the Blood Mang Realm, then you can re-determine the criteria for the selection of the elders."
"I can not do it."
Fang Yun’s answer was extremely firm.
The fight among the elders of the Blood Mang Palace is for the Blood Mang world, for the Blood Mang people, and for themselves.
"Forget it..." Chen Mingding stopped persuading her.
"Fang Xusheng, how was your meal at the Dragon Banquet yesterday?" Weng Shi stood in front of the door of the Council Hall, looking at Fang Yun with a smile.
Many people stopped and looked at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun continued to walk forward and said with a smile: "Yes, the Kong family's dishes are indeed delicious. When I have the chance, I will raise some dragons in the Blood Mang Realm and eat them whenever I am free to strengthen my body. Perhaps many years later, everyone will be able to afford dragons, and everyone will be extremely powerful, far superior to the monsters and barbarians."
"Did Saint Fang Xu open the Blood Ray Realm himself?" Weng Shi asked.
Wei Huangan glanced at Fang Yun and almost wanted to answer "yes" on Fang Yun's behalf.
"Mr. Weng looks so radiant today. Did he do something good yesterday?" Fang Yun asked.
"It seems that Fang Xusheng already knows about it. Let's not beat around the bush. For the sake of your literary reputation, I think you'd better agree to the proposal today. Otherwise, when you see that 90% of people agree, but only a few of you oppose it, it will be bad for your literary reputation if it gets out." Weng Shi said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. To avoid damaging my reputation, the saints will continue to veto it. How many times you dare to agree, the saints will dare to veto it!" Fang Yun smiled. But his voice sounded like the sound of weapons clashing.
"In that case, let's see the result of today's vote! I don't believe that the saints will stand on your side every time!"
"I believe it." Fang Yun said.
"Hmph!" Weng Shi flicked his long sleeves, turned around and walked into the House of Representatives Hall.
Crowds of people entered the House of Representatives one after another. Some people had already left the Holy Court and were using holy temples in various places to put their divine thoughts into the House of Representatives and participate as usual.
Fang Yun sat at the chief seat, his eyes lowered, like an old man fishing, motionless.
Yan Ningshan, the host of this meeting, glanced at Fang Yun. He looked around at everyone and said slowly, "Yesterday, the saints rejected it and the emperor decided to reconsider it. The first item to be voted on today is still the proposal that only great scholars can serve as the elders of the Blood Mang Palace. I won't say much. After a night, you must have considered it more deeply. Let's start the voting."
The illuminated bamboo plaques fell in front of everyone present.
Almost no one hesitated. The decision was made quickly, and after a few breaths, all the bamboo cards flew to the platform, with their backs to the crowd.
Everyone looked at the densely packed and neatly arranged green bamboo signs and waited quietly.
One breath, two breaths... ten breaths, twenty breaths...
After thirty breaths, a scene similar to yesterday appeared. Endless golden light suddenly emerged from the platform, forcing everyone to close their eyes. When they opened their eyes, the green bamboo plates all turned into fine powder and slowly fell to the ground.
However, unlike yesterday, two large golden characters appeared in the sky.
Reconsideration!
Written by the Holy Pen, approved by the Semi-Saint.
The two words are majestic and full of official authority, even surpassing the kings of ten countries.
Everyone was clearly prepared, but there was still a look of shock on their faces.
Although there was a veto yesterday, the semi-saint did not write it personally. Yan Ningshan judged it based on the rules of the House of Representatives. This time the semi-saint wrote it personally, which was equivalent to the semi-saint speaking personally. Anyone could see the dissatisfaction of the semi-saints.
The two large golden characters were an extremely severe warning.
Who is the Semi-Saint warning? Those who agree, or those who disagree
The heads of the Zong family and other miscellaneous families and the great scholars were the most surprised, and the great scholars of Qing Kingdom and King Qing were no different.
Fang Yun stared at the large golden characters carefully and recognized who had written them.
The current leader of the Dongsheng Sect is Mo Ju.
After the shock, many people were puzzled and suspected that it was Zong Moju who vetoed it. But then they thought, Dong Sheng is in charge of all affairs of Shengyuan Continent, and at this time only Dong Sheng can write it. Even if he objects, he cannot go against the decision of the saints.
Yan Ningshan said helplessly: "The Eastern Saint personally rejected it. Needless to say, this proposal will be discussed again tomorrow."
Fang Yun said slowly: "I said that as long as more than 70% of the people agree with the proposal, the saints will definitely veto it. If you all oppose this proposal tomorrow, the saints will definitely not veto it. The saints have a long-term vision and naturally understand my painstaking efforts. The Blood Mang Realm needs the Blood Mang Human Pavilion Elder, and the human race also needs the Blood Mang Human Pavilion Elder."
For a moment, no one spoke in the House of Representatives. Although no one knew the real result of the vote, everyone could guess it.
Yan Ningshan had a blank expression on his face and asked, "Weng Shi, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Weng Shi was stunned and said, "Mr. Banhai, I didn't signal you?"
"Oh, I still remember what you said before entering the Council Hall. I thought you would have something to say to Fang Xusheng at this time."
When Weng Shi heard this, he felt very bitter. It seemed that Yan Ningshan was not satisfied with the two votes of the saints. He was not dissatisfied with the results, but he was unhappy because the saints vetoed the meeting he presided over twice in a row. Weng Shi started to talk nonsense again, which was tantamount to hitting a gun.
Yan Ningshan sighed and said, "The conditions for the selection of the elder will be discussed three times tomorrow! At this point, you should understand the painstaking efforts of the saints and must not force the saints to reject it tomorrow!"
The temperature in the House of Representatives seemed to drop suddenly. Yan Ningshan finally felt the pressure and did not want the saints to veto him again.
If the saints veto three times, the matter will get out of control. Once it is leaked, the human race will inevitably think that there is a rift between the saints and the ten countries' families. People will be in panic, which is very disadvantageous to the human race.
It can happen once or twice, but not three or four times!
Yan Ningshan made his words so clearly, how could everyone not know? Some great scholars and family heads sighed softly and decided that they could only oppose the proposal and support Fang Yun tomorrow.
However, some great scholars and family heads had gloomy faces and were not prepared to compromise!
"Oh? Weng Shi, do you want to speak now? Please go ahead." Yan Ningshan said.
Weng Shi took a deep breath and said slowly, "If the saints issue a decree ordering that the position of the elder of the Blood Mang Palace can be held by the Blood Mang Grand Secretary, we will not object. But since the saints have delegated the voting power to the House of Representatives, even if the saints are dissatisfied, I will insist on my own position and will not change my mind! I declare again that the position of the elder of the Blood Mang Palace must not be allowed to be held by the Blood Mang Grand Secretary. If we are not careful, the human race will be doomed!"
"Weng Shi, don't use your short-sightedness to measure the foresight of this saint. The future of the human race is not up to you to curse with your stinky mouth! If the human race is as solid as a rock in the ancient land of Xuemang, will you curse your entire family to eternal damnation?" Fang Yun shouted harshly.
"You..." Weng Shi was speechless.
