"This bunch of ungrateful beasts!"
Seeing the voting results, Liu Lei could guess what his spiritual sword level sword-bearers were planning, so he cursed with resentment.
These spiritual sword level sword-bearers were all sword-bearers that he had helped in his early years, and each of them treated him like a father. He didn't expect that they would stab him in the back at such a crucial time.
"Master, don't be angry!
If it were me, I would be the same as them. Who doesn't want to be a step higher?
Master, you should be glad that you still have three of your most loyal subordinates. "
Guhan's communication was sent to Liu Lei's personal terminal. Looking at Liu Lei, Liu Lei was ashamed and angry, and he couldn't wait to find these eight traitors.
But Liu Lei endured it. If he really found these eight people, then these eight people would definitely run to the side of the aristocratic families, and he would be a lame duck in the future.
"Sigh, I thought I found a way to turn defeat into victory, but in the end, it was all for naught."
Seeing that the consent option had increased from 155232547 votes to 17232547 votes, which was 17.23 million votes, and the gap between the two had widened to nearly 6 million votes, Liu Lei simply had the urge to give up.
Because the number of people in the immortal sword level and spiritual sword level was the smallest, the voting results of these two levels were announced first.
If it was still based on the number of people, then the next result should be the voting results of the famous sword level.
But it was more likely that the voting results of these three levels would not be announced until the end of the 20th minute. Because as long as one person did not vote, the voting results of that level would not be announced.
After waiting for about 17 minutes, unexpectedly, the voting results of the famous sword level sword-bearers were out.
"The famous sword level sword-bearers have all voted. Agree with Guhan's resignation: 1.03 million votes, disagree with Guhan's resignation: 3.56 million votes."
BAT reported the results, and then the scene was in an uproar. This meant that out of a total of 459 famous sword level sword-bearers, more than 3/4 of them voted against Guhan's resignation. A total of 356 people voted against Guhan's resignation, and only 103 people voted for Guhan's resignation.
The difference between the two votes instantly narrowed to 3.5 million votes.
"How could this be?
What are our people doing?
Are they crazy?
How do you normally control your subordinates! "Shi Jueyuan couldn't accept this result.
According to their calculations, there were more than 200 Famed Swordsmen in their faction. In other words, they should get at least two million votes out of the votes for the Famed Swordsmen. If they included the scattered votes from the unaffiliated people, they could get an optimistic estimate of three million votes.
But in reality, it was a different story.
Not only did he not get a single vote, he didn't even get a single one.
On the contrary, more than half of the people in his base voted for Guhan to stay. This was really strange.
"What happened in there?
Why did they betray us? "Shi Jueyuan suddenly felt the pain that Liu Lei had felt.
"I guess it's probably because Guhan is the same level as them!"
The Family Head of the Liu Family guessed, "They are all famous sword bearers, and they hope to see someone at the same level as them become the Sword Tower Pavilion Master. That way, they will feel more honored."
"The most important thing is that the votes are anonymous. We don't even know who betrayed us. They are fearless and let me find the detailed list. I will definitely not let them go!"
The Family Head of the Lin Family was the most hot-tempered one. He kept cursing. It seemed that he would really take revenge on those Famed Swordsmen who betrayed him.
"Only an idiot would pursue this matter!" Shi Jueyuan glanced at the Family Head of the Lin Family and thought to himself.
These Famed Sword-level sword-bearers only dared to betray him in secret. Was he going to force them to betray him openly as well?
However, Shi Jueyuan didn't bother to remind the Family Head of the Lin Family. He was eager to see the Lin Family decline. The four big families had always been scheming against each other. Today, they could form an alliance. Tomorrow, they could stab each other.
"I think there is another possibility!"
Yi Wuying, who had been silent, suddenly said timidly, "After all, Guhan saved the lives of everyone in the core area of Yuzhang City. Those Famed Swordsmen were all saved by Guhan. They have no other way to repay Guhan's favor, so they can only help Guhan!"
"I didn't expect Yi Wuying to not be a complete idiot!"
Shi Jueyuan looked at Yi Wuying in surprise. Even he hadn't thought of this. But it was also because he was closely involved. As long as he calmed down, it would not be difficult for him to figure out the reason.
"Wait, if this is really the reason!
Then the Ancient Sword and Treasure Sword swordsmen will also be doomed! "The Family Head of the Lin Family exclaimed. Shi Jueyuan and the others' hearts tightened at the same time.
There were still nearly six million votes left. They had to get more than 1.25 million votes to win the final victory.
Originally, Shi Jueyuan had thought that getting a quarter of the votes would be a piece of cake. But if they really wanted to repay Guhan for saving their lives, then they might fail miserably!
Thinking of this, Shi Jueyuan and the others, who had thought that victory was already in their grasp, suddenly became nervous. There was only one minute left. The voting period was about to end, and the votes for the Ancient Sword and Treasure Sword swordsmen were about to be announced.
…
The twenty minutes finally passed. Even though there were still some swordsmen who had not voted, it was finally time for the Ancient Sword and Treasure Sword swordsmen to be announced.
The first to be announced was the Ancient Sword swordsmen's voting.
"Ancient Sword swordsmen's voting is complete. Voting rate: 95%. Agree with Guhan's resignation: 432100 votes. Disagree with Guhan's resignation: 756500 votes."
As the Ancient Sword swordsmen's votes were added to the total number of votes, the difference between agreeing and disagreeing had shrunk to three million votes.
The rest of the Treasure Sword swordsmen's votes became very important.
There were a total of 4.5 million votes for the Treasure Sword swordsmen. If Guhan wanted to win, he had to get more than 3.75 million votes. Otherwise, Guhan would definitely lose.
This was equivalent to getting 83% of the total number of votes. Even in the United States before the apocalypse, he had only gotten more than 83% of the votes when he was at his peak.
This result made Gu Jueyuan feel a lot more at ease. His heart was no longer beating so hard.
Liu Lei's old face kept twitching. If his eight Spiritual Sword swordsmen did not betray him, then the difference between the two choices would be reduced to 1.4 million votes. Guhan only needed to get more than 65% of the Treasure Sword swordsmen's support. This was a huge difference from 83%.
"Treasure Sword swordsmen's voting is complete. Voting rate: 98%. Agree with Guhan's resignation: 1056000 votes. Disagree with Guhan's resignation: 4400000 votes."
When Shi Jueyuan heard the 1.05 million votes, he was so excited that he almost cried. He didn't even hear the numbers clearly.
However, this was not important. He had already won. Guhan would not be able to surpass his votes no matter what. He was bound to get kicked out of the position of Sword Pavilion Master.
Thinking of the whole process, he had gone through so many hardships and tribulations.
So many plans had been resolved by Guhan one by one. Even the final trump card, the impeachment of the Emperor's bloodline, had gone through a wave and a supplementary document had been produced.
If it weren't for the unexpected betrayal of the Spiritual Sword swordsmen, the person who would start crying tears of joy would be Guhan.
Of course, he was also shedding tears of sorrow.
However, all of this was over. The victory belonged to him. He no longer needed to think about the problem of Guhan. Next, there was a more important thing to think about, which was how to hand over the position of the next Sword Pavilion Master from Liu Lei to his own Spiritual Sword swordsmen.
Come to think of it, who should be the candidate?
The best was naturally to let his own clansman, the Mu Xue Sword Spirit, become the Sword Pavilion Master. However, just now, the Mu Xue Sword Spirit was defeated by Guhan, and her prestige was greatly damaged. The old guys of the other three families would definitely use this as an excuse to firmly oppose the Mu Xue Sword Spirit to represent the families to compete for the position of Sword Pavilion Master.
He still had to think of a way to deal with these three old guys and make their candidate lose his reputation.
Shi Jueyuan was indeed a scheming guy. Now he had already begun to plan how to deal with his former allies. In a trance, he couldn't even hear the words around him clearly. He only heard the cheers of all the audience, and then vaguely heard Liu Lei's laughter.
Wait a minute?
Liu Lei actually laughed?
Shi Jueyuan woke up from his own world. He looked at Liu Lei and saw that the other party's old face was smiling like an eighteen year old girl. It was so bright and charming.
What was going on?
Shi Jueyuan hurriedly looked at the three family heads beside him and found that all of their faces were extremely stiff. Their eyes were looking at the results of the votes projected by the projector, as if they had seen something unbelievable.
"Agree to replace the Sword Pavilion Master: 20020647 votes."
"Disagree to replace the Sword Pavilion Master: 20343041 votes."
The number of votes that disagreed to replace Guhan was actually 320,000 more than the number of votes that agreed to replace Guhan. The final winner was actually Guhan!
"This is impossible!
Did I learn mathematics wrong? "
Shi Jueyuan calculated in a daze. "Before the results of the treasured sword grade were announced, I had 18.96 million votes. Adding the 1.05 million votes, it is indeed 20.02 million votes.
Even if the voting rate was 100%, the remaining votes for Guhan should be 3.45 million. Adding his original 15.94 million votes, it should be 19.39 million votes. How could it be 20.34 million votes?
Where did the 950,000 votes come from? "
Shi Jueyuan calculated in his heart a few times and found that he was right. There was indeed an inexplicable 950,000 more votes. It was this 950,000 votes that caused him to lose and Guhan to win.
Shi Jueyuan couldn't figure out how these 950,000 votes came about.
"Liu Lei, you still have the cheek to laugh!
You cheater! "
Shi Jueyuan could no longer control his emotions. He jumped out of his seat and stood face to face with Liu Lei.
"I say, Old Shi!
You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You called me a cheater!
How did I cheat? Tell me clearly! "Liu Lei looked at Shi Jueyuan with eyes full of provocation and mockery, which made Shi Jueyuan even angrier.
"Fine, Liu Lei, let me ask you. How many sword bearers are there in Yuzhang City?" Shi Jueyuan asked loudly.
"4,536!" Lei Lei reported the number without any hesitation.
"Good, you are telling the truth!
With 4,536 sword bearers, you should have 4,536,000 votes, right? "Shi Jueyuan asked again.
"No, it's not 4536000 votes," Liu Lei said calmly.
"You're talking nonsense. How could I make a mistake with such a simple math problem?"
Shi Jueyuan felt like his intelligence was being insulted. It was just 4,536 with three zeros. How could he get it wrong?
"Ahem, only 98% of the votes were cast. That's a total of 4450000 votes. Don't get too worked up!" Liu Lei said with a smile.
Shi Jueyuan was almost angered to death by Liu Lei. "Fine, we'll do as you said. I increased the votes by 1,050,000, so you will have 3.4 million votes at most. It should be 1,934,000 votes. There is a difference of one million votes. Let me ask you, where did the one million votes come from?
You are not cheating. What are you doing? "
Shi Jueyuan's stern voice silenced the entire hall.
The ordinary people who did not know the total number of sword bearers did not think there was anything wrong at first, but the sword bearers who knew the total number of famous sword bearers were dumbfounded. They had the same question as Shi Jueyuan. Where did the one million votes come from?
Out of nowhere?
Everyone turned to look at the excited Liu Lei. Unexpectedly, Liu Lei spread out his hands and smiled bitterly.
"Don't ask me. I don't know why either.
This is BAT's calculation. It has nothing to do with me. "
So everyone looked at BAT, which did not exist here. Could it be that BAT was helping Guhan cheat?
If that was the case, then this level of cheating was a little too low.
