Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

The time was almost up, and many clansmen and disciples, holding the names that had been written long ago, began to walk towards the box in the front.

I saw the Third Elder's lineage and most of the disciples standing there motionless.

Seeing this, the Fourth Elder took a step forward and looked at him and said, "Third Elder, why are you doing this? Even if you don't participate now, you can't stop the election of the clan leader today. Unless Situ Yue can come back. But I'm sure you know in your heart that's impossible."

After hearing this, the Third Elder sneered and said, "Then don't bother the Fourth Elder to worry about it." After saying that, he turned his head to the side, as if he didn't want to pay any more attention to him.

The fourth elder was disappointed and turned back to his original position to continue standing and waiting for the result.

The second elder was now looking confidently at the clansmen and disciples below, but his eyes darkened when he saw the group led by the third elder.

He snorted inwardly, thinking that they were really ungrateful. When he became the patriarch, the first people he would deal with would be these people.

The voting was gradually coming to an end, and Mo Yinan happened to arrive. After looking around, he couldn't find Situ Yue, so he turned to look at Qingfeng with a frown as if to ask, where is she?

Qingfeng was a little confused at this time. Logically speaking, Situ Yue should have arrived earlier than them.

Mo Yinan glared at him, took a deep breath, turned around and thought about it carefully, but after a while he guessed that the person should be nearby, but it was not the time yet.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the center of the square, where people were still going up to vote. If he guessed correctly, Situ Yue should come out when the results were announced.

Thinking of this, he calmed down and walked slowly towards the center.

The Second Elder saw the Regent coming, so he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Why is the Regent also interested in coming to watch our Situ new clan leader selection ceremony?"

"Well, you guys continue, don't worry about me. I just came here to take a look."

The Second Elder was about to agree and go back when he heard Mo Yinan continue, "Huh? Haven't you found out who murdered Situ Yue yet?"

"This..." The second elder stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Mo Yinan looked at him with some regret and shook his head, saying, "Ah! If the new clan leader is confirmed and it is not found out who murdered the previous clan leader, then the emperor will surely doubt the current ability of your Situ clan to do things. Now that we have a clan leader, it will be easier to divide the responsibilities."

"Okay, you can get busy now. This king hopes that your Situ clan can select a new clan leader as soon as possible to replace the Situ family."

After Mo Yinan finished speaking, he sat down in the empty seat next to the Third Elder, looking like he was watching a good show.

At this time, the clansmen and disciples who heard Mo Yinan's words just now also began to discuss.

"Are you saying that the former clan leader is really gone?"

"Yes, I saw the charred body that day."

"Oh. This is so tragic. I don't know if the elders have found any clues. After all, the lineage of the Great Elder was quite good before. Now they are all gone suddenly. I still can't accept it for the time being."

"Stop talking. What would the Second Elder and the others think if they heard what you said? Things are about to change for the Situ family now. We have to figure out which side we should take as soon as possible."

"No, I swear to follow the Great Elder until death. I will never change no matter what."

"Me too."

Many people on the Third Elder's side responded.

Some of the members who wanted to fight had already left the Third Elder's place and were slowly moving towards the Second Elder's place.

Almost another quarter of an hour passed before the voting ended.

The Fourth Elder presided over the ceremony, so after everyone had voted, he stood in the middle and said to the two people on the side: "Now let's start checking the votes."

At this moment, the Second Elder and the Fifth Elder were a little excited. After all, the power of the clan leader was very great, and he could influence the future development of the Situ family. There were also many resources for the clan leader to enjoy. This was a right that the elders did not have.

Every time the emperor has important matters, he will summon the clan leader to the palace for discussion. Who would remember the elders? And the Situ Academy is full of princes and nobles. The clan leader has the direct decision-making power. If there are children he values, they can be admitted directly. The elders still need to report to the clan leader and wait for her approval.

Who wouldn't be moved by this?

Soon the votes were counted, but the result was somewhat unexpected.

The two people who were counting the votes looked at each other in dumbfounded.

Seeing this, the fourth elder urged, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring the statistics over."

The two of them then put away all their panicked emotions, hurried over, and handed over the paper with the calculations.

Before the fourth elder could open it, a white hand took it away.

"Clan leader?"

"I am not wrong, right?"

Boom~ When people below saw the person coming, they all expressed confusion.

Many people rubbed their eyes and doubted what they saw.

Several elders were also stunned where they were, unable to react for a moment.

Mo Yinan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person he was waiting for finally showed up. He stood up and walked slowly towards her.

He smiled and looked at Chu Qianyu and said, "I knew you were still alive."

Situ Yue, who was used to playing Chu Qianyu, was a little overwhelmed when she saw Mo Yinan's expression. Besides, he had never smiled like this to Situ Yue before.

Perhaps seeing her puzzled look, Mo Yinan quickly put away his smile and said, "Well, I think you are more suitable to be the clan leader. Although you may disagree with me occasionally, it is all for the good of the country."

"Oh. Thank you." Chu Qianyu nodded coldly.

This made Mo Yinan feel embarrassed for a moment.

Chu Qianyu casually opened the paper in her hand and looked at the two people with equal votes. She was surprised and said, "Oh, the second elder and the fifth elder actually have the same votes. It's really interesting."

Then he smiled and looked at the Second Elder and asked, "What? What's that expression, Second Elder?"

"Hey, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder. What are you all standing there for?"

The Third Elder couldn't hide the smile on his face at this moment, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yue'er, you are finally back. I thought...that's all. As long as you come back safely." The Third Elder's eyes were slightly red, and he was really happy that she came back.

Chu Qianyu stepped forward and patted the Third Elder on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for worrying about me, Third Elder. I'm fine!"

The second elder stared at the woman in front of him with eyes wide open in disbelief. The fourth elder reacted a little faster and immediately stepped forward and said excitedly: "Chief, it's really you. Yue'er. Are you...are you really okay?" After saying that, he was ready to put his hands on her shoulders to verify whether she was serious or not.

Chu Qianyu dodged and looked at him with a sneer, "Fourth Elder, you are quite good at acting! I didn't see you being very sad when you sent people to find my body a few days ago."

Without waiting for the Fourth Elder to speak, Chu Qianyu looked at the Second Elder and asked, "Did my return today disturb the Second Elder's dream of becoming the clan leader?"
