No matter how you looked at it, anyone who snuck into a young woman's room in the middle of the night seemed pretty creepy!
"Ding! The Martial Soul Hall Pope has uploaded a large memory file: Battle Through the Heavens."
Poison Girl of Chuyun: "Then I'm much obliged. I'll remember this favor..."
"Xiao Yan?"
While chatting, Xiao Yi Xian quietly made a note of Qian Xunji's warning.
She hadn't forgotten who Qian Xunji had used as an example the last time he said someone was no good—that scumbag patriarch, Yi Xiaochuan!
Since Qian Xunji had gone out of his way to compare Xiao Yan to that scumbag Yi Xiaochuan, then Xiao Yan must have something unique about him!
With that thought, she turned her attention to the memory file Battle Through the Heavens that Qian Xunji had just uploaded.
Perhaps it held the answers she wanted.
Seeing Qian Xunji start another round of wheeling and dealing, Ning Caichen finally couldn't hold back.
But it wasn't that he had any complaints about Qian Xunji. He was just envious of Ruthless Great Emperor, Gao Yao, and Xiao Yi Xian. He envied them for being able to wheel and deal with Qian Xunji.
Because he wanted spoilers too! He wanted to know his own future!
—The previous [Omniscient and Almighty Li Daxian] had been afraid that if Ning Caichen learned the plot, he'd follow the original story and lure Nie Xiaoqian away. So he hadn't told Ning Caichen much.
He'd even done everything he could to delay Ning Caichen's journey, so that he wouldn't reach Lanruo Temple too soon. As a result, Ning Caichen knew very little about the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio or his own future.
That was why he'd been so envious when he saw Xiao Yi Xian and the others getting spoilers.
So, after thinking it over for a moment, Ning Caichen decisively interrupted the conversation between Qian Xunji and Xiao Yi Xian.
Undead Knight: "Ahem, well, you two can get back to the spoilers later. Right now, the urgent matter is to choose a group leader. After all, there's a time limit for the election: only twelve hours."
Undead Knight: "If we don't elect a group leader within that time, the position will be taken by the so-called robot. I don't know what sort of being a robot is, but I imagine its appearance must have some drawback."
Otherwise, the Chat Group wouldn't have considered choosing one only after no one had been elected.
Ning Caichen didn't say this aloud, but everyone understood what he meant.
Especially Qian Xunji, a transmigrator who had once lived in a modern city.
To him, having a robot serve as group leader might mean absolute fairness and impartiality, with no favoritism toward anyone.
But that would also cut off his chance to abuse his position for personal gain, and that was something he absolutely wouldn't allow.
So, for now, he put aside his plans to give the others more spoilers and turned his attention to the group leader election.
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "Mm, you make a good point."
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "Everyone, if you can, would you cast your sacred and glorious vote for me? I'm quite interested in the position of group leader. Of course, I won't leave you empty-handed. There'll be something in it for you."
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "As for what you'll get, that depends on what you need! If you need spoilers, I can provide them. If you need combat support, I can help myself or send someone to assist..."
The world of Smiling Proud Wanderer.
When Yue Buqun saw Ning Caichen bring up the group leader election, his eyes instantly sharpened. He'd been catching up on shows while keeping an eye on the Chat Group.
He didn't think a frail scholar like Ning Caichen would have the nerve to set his sights on the Chat Group leader's seat. And even if he did, he had no chance of winning.
After all, Ning Caichen had neither strength nor resources. He didn't even have any special abilities. He was worse than the previous [Omniscient and Almighty Li Daxian], who at least knew a few spoilers.
There was no way the group leader's seat could go to him.
So here was the question: if he wasn't after the position himself, why had he suddenly brought it up?
Unless there was something in it for him.
Wait, could he be planning to use this chance to sell his vote to someone who wanted it? Someone who knew the plot, perhaps?
At that thought, Yue Buqun couldn't help thinking to himself that Ning Caichen really was a scholar—so sly.
But, as expected, scholars were all rotten.
They'd agreed to be brothers until their hair turned white, yet Ning Caichen had been the first to sneak off!
Thinking this, Yue Buqun quickly put down the show he'd been catching up on and began typing in the Chat Group.
After all, he could catch up on shows anytime. But getting spoilers from Qian Xunji in exchange for his vote was a rare opportunity. If Ning Caichen, that "fair-weather friend," got to him first, Yue Buqun would regret it for the rest of his life!
Gentleman Sword: "Well...I support Big Shot Qian as group leader, but there's no need for any reward! I'm supporting Big Shot Qian not for any personal gain, but because I'm thinking of the whole Chat Group. In my opinion, only under Big Shot Qian's leadership can our Chat Group keep getting better. @Martial Soul Hall Pope."
Gentleman Sword: "Of course, if you really feel bad about it, Big Shot Qian, and insist on making it up to me with some spoilers, I won't object!"
[Candidate: Martial Soul Hall Pope. Votes currently held: 1 (Gentleman Sword).]
