Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 941: Chapter 941: Who Should Receive It

Xue Wei’s voice was deep and powerful, each word laden with deep sarcasm and disdain.

His eyes sparkled with the glow of victory, evidently full of confidence in his advantage.

”So, Xue Zhao,” he finally said, with a tone full of provocation, ”you should just give up. At least this way you can retain some dignity. Otherwise, when the vote results come out, you’ll be even more embarrassed.”

Xue Wei’s words echoed in the air, sounding so harsh and merciless.

His pride and confidence were particularly evident at this moment, as if he was already certain of his victory.

Meanwhile, Xue Zhao stood calmly to the side, though the vote count was temporarily lagging, her eyes still shone with determination.

The audience beneath the stage stared intently at the vote count displayed on the big screen, gradually revealing a noticeable gap.

Whispers of discussion began to rise and fall among the crowd, mixed with a touch of amazement and helplessness.

”Hey, look at Xue Wei’s vote count, he’s already so far ahead,” a middle-aged man shook his head, his tone full of dissatisfaction and disappointment, ”a gap of several thousand votes, it’s not something that can be closed in a short time.”

”Yes, although Xue Zhao also has many supporters, Xue Wei has done so much for the family over the years and won many people’s hearts; it’s inevitable.” another woman sighed, her voice full of helplessness, ”It looks like Xue Zhao really has no hope this time.”

”It’s really a shame, Xue Zhao just returned and hasn’t had the chance to showcase her strength, yet she’s facing such a situation.” a young man said, his gaze holding a touch of sympathy, ”If she had more time, perhaps she could still turn the tide.”

”But now it seems really difficult.” an elder shook his head and sighed, ”The vote gap is so large, and the family members have already begun leaning towards Xue Wei, Xue Zhao is unlikely to have another chance.”

Someone in the crowd spoke softly.

”Xue Wei is determined to win this time, he’s started canvassing for votes early on. Besides, he’s done quite a lot for the family over the years, earning the members’ trust.”

”Yes, although his methods are somewhat unsophisticated, one must admit that he has indeed won the support of many.” a young woman said, her gaze occasionally sweeping to Xue Zhao on the stage, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, ”I hope Xue Zhao doesn’t get too disappointed.”

”But it’s not certain yet, the contest isn’t over.” another person comforted, yet their tone seemed somewhat uncertain, ”Maybe a miracle will happen.”

”That’s true, but judging from the current situation, Xue Zhao truly finds it difficult to reverse the situation.” Amid the discussions were traces of sighs and helplessness, and their gazes were tightly fixed on the big screen, observing every change in the vote count.

”Alas, it’s really a shame.” someone finally concluded, their voice steeped in deep regret, ”In this contest, Xue Zhao probably really has no hope.”

The atmosphere in the plaza was tense and heavy amidst these low discussions.

The family members’ discussions rose and fell, each word seeming to declare the outcome of the contest.

Supporters of Xue Wei were confident, while those supporting Xue Zhao appeared anxious and disappointed.

Nevertheless, everyone’s gaze remained focused on the giant Spiritual Power screen, awaiting the final revelation of the results.

The Family Head stood on the stage, watching the numbers on the Spiritual Power screen with satisfaction.

Xue Wei’s vote count had already far surpassed Xue Zhao, causing a smile of satisfaction to spread across the Family Head’s face.

He nodded slightly, turning to an Elder beside him and said, ”You see, apart from being slightly less powerful than Xue Zhao, Xue Wei is superior in every other aspect.”

The Family Head’s voice was deep and steady, but his tone clearly conveyed approval and admiration.

He continued, ”This fellow has always been diligent within the family, and he’s developed quite a knack for handling affairs. Over the years, he’s made considerable contributions to the family, earning the trust and support of everyone, and this is deserved.”

The Elder nodded slightly in agreement, ”Indeed, Family Head. Xue Wei is truly capable, and his performance within the family has been evident to all. This vote result is a recognition of his years of effort.”

A few family members who supported Xue Wei nodded in agreement.

A middle-aged man smiled and said, ”That’s right, Family Head, Xue Wei has performed brilliantly all these years. Not only does he manage affairs meticulously, but he also cares deeply for the family members, naturally garnering their support.”

”That’s correct, Family Head,” another supportive Elder chimed in, his tone brimming with admiration, ”Xue Wei has always demonstrated great composure. His ability to handle family matters is evident to all, and this vote result is the best testimony to his years of hard work.”

Supporters of Xue Wei nodded in agreement.

Several young family members appeared particularly excited, discussing Xue Wei’s merits in low tones, their eyes full of admiration.

”Xue Wei is not only intelligent and quick-witted but also efficient in his work, and these years he’s indeed won many hearts.”

A young woman said with a smile, her gaze full of admiration for Xue Wei.

”Yes, he always solves practical problems for the family members, such a person is naturally worthy of our support.” The man beside her followed up, his tone carrying a touch of excitement, ”This vote result is indeed an affirmation of his abilities.”

However, those who did not support Xue Wei stood silently aside.

Although they harbored some dissatisfaction towards Xue Wei, before the Family Head, they did not dare to easily express it.

Several Elders exchanged glances, their expressions complex, some with slight frowns, and some with bowed heads in silence.

”Alas, although Xue Wei does have his merits, one shouldn’t overlook Xue Zhao’s strength either.”

One of the Elders sighed inwardly, but dared not show any hints in his expression. He quietly glanced around, seeing no one noticing him, he gently shook his head.

Another Elder also felt the same pressure, though he sympathized with Xue Zhao in his heart, at this moment he chose to remain silent.

He looked down at his palm, as if contemplating something, but ultimately decided to maintain his silence.

The Family Head observed the reactions from the surrounding family members, smiling slightly, evidently very satisfied with Xue Wei’s performance.

He turned his head, continuing to address the Elder beside him, ”Xue Wei is not only smart but adept at managing relationships, such talent is the future of our Xue Family.”

”But Family Head, this contest surely belongs to Xue Wei. Though Xue Wei won, they’ve each won once in three contests, with the remaining one tied, which means neither has a clear victory yet, so who should the Saint Position be given to?” an Elder asked.
