"Don't make it sound so serious, Illumi. You and Hisoka together are enough. My presence would be superfluous, so let's just forget about it."

Illumi gave an "oh," his gaze towards Fu Long filled with scrutiny.

"You know me, there are some things I just know in advance, so I won't get involved. Good luck to you guys."

After saying that, Fu Long turned and left. He was joking, but if he followed Illumi, he would eventually lose his hunter qualification. He wasn't going to do that.

Also, the Hunter Exam will be held earlier this year, and Wenji needs to prepare for that. There are too many things to do, and he doesn't have the time to worry about other things.

Watching Fu Long leave, Hisoka looked at Illumi and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Illumi said expressionlessly, "Gon and Killua will both die."

Hisoka raised an eyebrow. If Fu Long hadn't said what he did earlier, he might have been very nervous, but now he was just interested.

After leaving the Hunter Association's lobby, Fu Long returned to his hotel.

Wenji wasn't a hunter, so she didn't go to the Hunter Association with Fulong. She only followed him after seeing him return.

"Teacher, are we going to wait here forever?"

"Yes, it will probably be a long time before we can get an election. Elections are not something that can be won in one go. And for me, the election result is not important. What I really care about is the declaration that will follow. Of course, there is a lot to prepare. I hope Paliston can bring good news."

Fu Long doesn't plan to do anything during this period, but of course, there is one place he definitely wants to go: the Heaven's Arena, where Hisoka and Chrollo fight, and he still wants to participate.

Wenji will also go, and as for what special skills she can absorb in that battle, that will depend on Wenji.

Before that, Fu Long just wanted to wait for the election results.

Sure enough, after waiting for a few days, the first election failed, and the hunters will have to hold a second round of voting.

This time, Hisoka and Illumi have already left.

The election was held at the main venue, and through Fu Long's invitation, he was granted permission to bring Wenji along.

Of course, Wenji doesn't have the right to vote.

That's good. Looking at Wenji, who was very cheerful beside him, Fu Long also became happy. The heavy feeling that he had felt before because of the president's passing finally slowly disappeared.

Suddenly, Fu Long remembered the big event he was about to encounter, and he burst into laughter.

"Teacher, is something fun happening? You're laughing so happily."

"Ah, that's quite interesting. I'll introduce you to a nice friend later, a 20-year-old uncle, quite interesting, haha."

Wenji rolled her eyes at Fu Long, feeling that her teacher was a bit unreliable.

Chapter 235 Acquaintances

In the main hall, others may be there to vote, but Fu Long is there to watch the excitement; things will get interesting soon.

Wenji looked around with excitement, as these were all professional hunters. However, after looking at some of them, Wenji lost interest.

"Teacher, why do I feel that some people are not as strong as me?" Wenji asked curiously.

"Ah, that's normal. Some hunters were self-taught before joining. Because they developed Nen, they didn't continue their training and went astray. Some weren't strong enough, for various reasons. Also, because they had different goals, many people were only strong enough to protect themselves and didn't fight much."

Wenji nodded as if she understood. Not every hunter is the strongest, which is normal. At the same time, there are also many people who have different research methods. Of course, this is for Nen users.

On stage, Paliston finally finished his long speech and looked at the crowd.

Here it is. To be honest, when I first read this part of the manga, I found it very interesting. Although Ging intentionally took that punch, Leorio's performance at the time was indeed remarkable.

That's something he's capable of doing.

Leorio was quickly called upon to speak as the hunter.

Fu Long became excited as he watched Leorio and King confront each other.

Wenji also looked at Leorio with a strange expression. This man gave her a very special feeling. How should I put it? He was impulsive but very charming.

"You bastard!" Leorio struck.

Meanwhile, Wenji quickly gathered Leorio's psychic power and began drawing on paper.

With a thud, Leorio's punch sent Gin flying: "You'd better die!"

Leorio raised his middle finger and roared at the top of his lungs.

"Haha." Fu Long laughed heartily.

"Senior Jin was sent flying." Even Wenji was startled. Had that seemingly strong Senior Jin been hit?

Cheers erupted in the arena, clearly demonstrating that Jin's popularity among the hunters was truly a mixed bag.

In this vote, Leorio was surprisingly promoted.

……

Haha, Fu Long didn't stop laughing the whole way, while Leorio glared angrily at Fu Long beside him.

“Fu Long, Xiao Jie is still in a dangerous period, and you can still laugh. By the way, I remember you are a one-star hunter, right? Do you have any way to save Xiao Jie?”

"Leorio, relax. Gon will be saved. Killua has already taken action, and his method is the best."

Fu Long patted Leorio on the shoulder.

In fact, Fu Long had also thought about it, and realized that he really needed to have a solution.

As for the curse on Xiao Jie, he could use his own brocade cassock to remove it, or even if he couldn't remove it all at once, he could go to a place like the Guanyin Temple.

The power of the curse is not scary; all that remains is to restore Gon to his original form.

Then we'll have to use the amrita. I don't have much amrita right now, but if I want to collect more, I estimate that with Leorio's current reputation in the Hunter Association, it shouldn't be a big problem.

However, Killua and Gon are the best couple, so let's not fight over this one. Moreover, recently, Fu Long has been planning to give Wenji some special training after the election.

This person is probably heading back to Whale Island and needs to see Billy on the way.

After that, the Gold Empire should be ready too. After watching Hisoka and Chrollo's battle, they'll be able to board the ship at just the right time.

"Damn it, even you say that." Leorio was very angry.

Fu Long smiled and said, "Alright, we have a few acquaintances here, and some hunters from our class. Let's go sit down and have a chat."

Pulling Leorio along, they headed towards the tavern, where Hanzo and the others were already waiting.

As a fellow hunter, Hanzo was also very strong, after all, he had been a training fanatic since childhood.

To be honest, this episode was quite interesting. Hisoka and Illumi have started catching up with Killua, who will be the hunter in the next episode.

Xiao Jie is still lying in the hospital bed, and as for Bao Ku'er, well, that guy was unlucky; he just happened to run into the ants and didn't even have a chance to save himself.

Kurapika was busy working on the eyes of his people, and now only Hanzo remains.

Fortunately, some other acquaintances, such as Melody and Bisky, also got together.

The group met at the tavern and were very happy. They talked about Xiao Jie's current situation, and they were all feeling quite distressed.

"We're planning to go see Xiao Jie, what about you?" Hanzo asked, looking at Fu Long after drinking half of his drink.

"He'll be fine. But everyone, let me introduce my disciple Wenji. If you have the chance, please take good care of her."

The group of people were all taken aback and looked at Wenji.

Bisky looked her over and said, "What a pretty little girl. Little sister, if you ever encounter any danger in the future, be sure to tell your big sister."

Fu Long was speechless. Old lady, please don't try this trick.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of you in the future," Hanzo assured him.

Fu Long nodded. Many of these people would join Kurapika's team, so they would definitely be needed during the Hunter Exam. Building some connections now wouldn't hurt.

Soon, everyone dispersed. Xiao Jie was in the Hunter Association's hospital, so the others rushed over as well.

Fu Long did not follow.

He knew the outcome, and therefore lost the urge to see it for himself.

There's really no point in paying attention to Illumi and Hisoka's actions, since even the Hunter Association can't get anything out of them.

"Teacher, they all look very strong."

"That's right. Just as Chairman Netero said back then, after several selections that didn't produce any very strong hunters, there would always be a selection that would gather a lot of very strong ability users. The 287th selection was probably like that. And in the 288th selection, only Killua succeeded."

"And what about this year's class, teacher?"

"Then it's up to you to decide." Fu Long reached out and patted Wenji's head. "The voting will take a while. After that, I'll take you out to meet someone else."

"Who?"

When he thought of Billian, Fu Long smiled and said, "A somewhat silly woman."

Looking into the distance, Fu Long wondered if Killua had already started fighting over there.

Sigh, these leisurely days are really boring. But speaking of which, the election results here should be coming out soon.

Looking back at the Hunter Association's venue, Fu Long suddenly had an idea: should he go see Byander? That guy was also very strong, and quite charismatic as well.

Chapter 236 Returning to Whale Island

By the seventh vote, Fu Long was getting a little annoyed.

After all, it happened too many times. But then again, the fact that Tieladin was killed by Hisoka didn't really bother Fu Long.

That guy's remarks were somewhat dangerous; at least Fu Long didn't like him.

The Great Hall, where the eighth vote was still held.

Fu Long yawned widely. This time, he had come to see Xiao Jie after his resurrection.

The election was a done deal. Fu Long knew the outcome from the beginning, and just yesterday, he had contacted Shen Qishi and obtained four spots for boarding the ship from him. That was enough.

After all, if he were to interfere in this vote, he might actually change the outcome.

Paliston's scheme is to have Leorio as his ultimate rival, but if Keido changes that outcome, Paliston will be in trouble.

Less than an hour after Fu Long told Shen Qishi these words, he received the spot, which shows that Paliston was also afraid that something unexpected might happen.

"Teacher, I've never understood why you initially supported Leorio but now want to vote for Paliston?"

Fu Long had already written his name on the ballot, which puzzled Wenji.

Fu Long then said with a smile, "Because Palistane is bound to win."
