Chapter 662 Election
"I give up the opportunity to run for president. Please do as you please."
Not long after the meeting started, something was discovered that surprised everyone. Xue Yiren and Lei Shou announced their resignation from the election for the 'President of the Baiwu Association' on the grounds of 'not interested in this' and 'being too old'.
The fact that two of the four existing candidates were missing caught all the sect representatives off guard. They begged the two men to stay, but they were adamant and everyone had to give up.
Half of the four elders had left, leaving only Li Xunhuan and the honest monk. The choice became increasingly tight, so someone stepped forward to recommend someone.
It was at this time that Lu Xiaofeng stood up.
The person who recommended him was He Wentian.
Originally, this matter was of great importance, and not everyone could run for the position of president of the Baiwu Association.
But after He Wentian, another thirty or so representatives from other sects came out to support Lu Xiaofeng. Even Lei Shou and Xue Yiren, who had resigned from the election, were among the members supporting Lu Xiaofeng.
So he easily became one of the candidates.
"In just one night, he was able to win over so many people. Lu Xiaofeng's popularity is really incredible!"
Seeing this, Lu Ping already understood why Lu Xiaofeng did not return home last night -
He actually went to lobby the representatives of these sects!
"Well... in a sense, this can also be said to be 'stealing Li Xunhuan's flying knife'."
"It's just that there are only about thirty people. Isn't that a little insufficient?"
There are 120 people who have the right to vote. Even with the support of the two elders, Lu Xiaofeng only has a quarter of the vote, which is not a sure win.
But soon, Lu Ping was no longer worried because some people started to stand up and "recommend".
"Zuo recommends a man who, though not well-known, is indeed talented and knowledgeable, and is as smart and skilled as Lu Xiaofeng."
Zuo Lengchan had already made two preparations. If the ideas of the "reformists" could not gain the approval of the representatives of various sects and he could not get the position, he would nominate one of "his own people" to take that position.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a short figure with his hands behind his back, reciting a poem, slowly walking out of the crowd.
"How can the secular world distinguish between right and wrong? The stone of the mediocre and wise is covered with moss, a handful of yellow earth is used to judge the foolish saint, and a cold moon comes over the world in the middle of the night."
Lights, drums, poems, the whole show is in full swing.
"He came on stage reciting a poem... I haven't seen someone like this in a long time."
"Tsk, isn't this just imitating Lu Ping back then?"
"Back then, Lu Ping defeated the Flame Demon and protected the Southern Martial Arts Forest. He was a true hero! How could this young man deserve to imitate Lu Ping and recite a poem?"
"Maybe he's a fan of Lu Ping? It's normal to imitate your idol!"
Before the visitor had a chance to introduce himself, his mere appearance had already caused a lot of controversy among the people in the underworld.
But this is not a bad thing.
Because without controversy there is no popularity, and with popularity, it can attract more people's attention.
"My name is Xuan Zhixuan, the one who awakens from ignorance. Nice to meet you all."
Xuan Zhixuan is less than five feet tall and has a voice like a baby, but he is dressed luxuriously, has a sharp gaze, and is dignified. He looks like a young man from a noble family and has a unique style.
"Xuan Zhixuan... I seem to have heard this name somewhere before?"
A person with some knowledge, who might be a shill, jumped out and answered for everyone: "A few years ago, the Southern Wulin suffered from damage to the earth's energy, which led to constant natural and man-made disasters. At that time, many people stepped forward to provide disaster relief in various parts of the martial arts world, and among them was the power of Xuan Zhixuan."
"I heard that it was because of his support that 100,000 people in Mingjian County were able to survive!"
Everyone widened their eyes and gasped when they heard this: "Hiss... He saved the lives of 100,000 people by himself, and he actually has such a huge fortune. What is his origin?"
"Please, how can we understand this?" Someone else asked, "Since Xuan Zhixuan has done such a great thing, why have I never heard of his name before?"
The 'slightly knowledgeable' one glanced at the man and said, "Because he only let his subordinates come forward to provide disaster relief, and he hid behind the scenes from beginning to end, so very few people know his name."
"Hehe... did a good deed but didn't leave a name behind? Could it be that this person has other intentions?"
As soon as these words were spoken, countless people shouted and cursed.
"Why are you so dark?!"
"Just because you have a dirty heart, do you think that everyone else in the martial arts world has a dirty heart like you?!"
"It's ridiculous to judge others by yourself!"
"To do good deeds without asking for anything in return, that's what a truly chivalrous person should do!"
"Do you think that people like Jiang Biehe, who take advantage of the difficult times to gain fame and reputation and make other plans, are heroes?"
"I am so ashamed to be associated with you!"
The people around him started to criticize him, one after another, until the person who was asking the question was speechless. He had no choice but to retreat back into the crowd, shut up and keep quiet.
Mysterious...
I really don't know what this kid is up to?
Looking at the little man standing on the stage with his hands behind his back, Lu Ping's eyes lit up with interest.
Xuan Zhixuan said, "Although I have learned both civil and martial arts since I was young, I have no intention of becoming famous among the nobles, and I dare not be arrogant and expect to arbitrate major martial arts events by myself."
"All I want in my life is to live in peace in a corner of the world, quietly dedicate myself, and do my best for the people of the world."
"But this time, the 'Shi Family Conspiracy' incident has caused endless disputes between the two major martial arts circles of the West and the South. Therefore, Sect Leader Zuo has repeatedly asked me to mediate."
"I was moved by his sincerity, so I had to give it a try..."
Xuan Zhixuan's speech was very high-sounding and pretentious. He even borrowed Zuo Lengchan's reputation and status in the martial arts world to raise his own status.
"What do you mean by 'three visits and three requests'? How could he even say that? Does he really think he is Zhuge Liang?"
Lu Ping couldn't help but complain, but when he turned around, he found that many people around him had expressions of shock, admiration, honor and excitement on their faces.
"No way... is there really anyone who would buy into this?!"
It's understandable that people in the underworld fall for this trick.
First of all, these people are not very smart, and secondly, they don’t know Xuan Zhixuan’s true nature like Lu Ping.
In the eyes of outsiders, Xuan Zhixuan generously donated money during the disaster year and saved the lives of 100,000 people, and he has remained unknown for several years. This is enough to prove that he has a wealthy family and is a hero who is not interested in fame, wealth or power.
This alone can keep everyone's initial impression of him above 80 points. Coupled with the gimmick of "Zuo Lengchan's three visits and three invitations", this score can rise further.
After introducing himself, Xuan Zhixuan once again strengthened his competitiveness: "If I become the president of the Baiwu Association, I will carry on the past and revive the spirit of the southern martial arts world."
The person below asked, "How are you going to revive the Southern Martial Arts World?"
“Just three things to do!”
Xuan Zhixuan spoke in a loud voice, and although there was a lot to say, he was not in a hurry: "First, we should arrest the three main and secondary criminals of the Shi family and bring them to justice, and punish them for their past actions;"
"Secondly, we must conduct diplomacy with the Miao region in the most peaceful way possible to maintain stability within the country;"
"The last thing, and the most important thing, is to protect the 'Three Spiritual Weapons' and 'Three Spiritual Lands' recorded in the 'Nine Dragons Heavenly Book', guard the aura of the Southern Martial Forest, and dispel the covetousness of outsiders!"
"After these three things happen, I will resign from the position of President of the Baiwu Association and give way to someone more capable!"
