Everyone's eyelids twitched, and the ten Chiefs stood up in unison to salute.
It was the eldest son of the Tian family, Tian Xiangyang.
As the current head of the Tian family, it was no exaggeration to say that this Lord Tian was the number one person in Jianghai Academy. Whether it was in terms of influence or prestige, no one in the Academy could compete with him.
It wasn't just the School Council that was directly under his control, but also the Academy and the repeat students. All the big shots respected him.
It wasn't just respect on the surface, but genuine support. That kind of unparalleled influence was deeply rooted.
"I haven't seen you for a few months, but Shichang is still the same. You don't even know where the door is. I heard you shouting from far away. You've been the head of the warrior's Department for so long, but you don't know how to be more mature."
Tian Xiangyang patted Zhang Shichang's shoulder as he spoke. Although he was reprimanding Zhang Shichang, his tone was like a typical old friend reminiscing about the past. It didn't make people feel disgusted at all. Instead, it made people feel quite comfortable.
As expected, Zhang Shichang restrained himself and chuckled.""I've been like this since I was born, I can't change it. "
"Then I'll have to talk to your old Madam about it. It turns out that the root of the illness is her."
Tian Xiangyang's jesting scolding caused Zhang Shichang to beg for mercy. He turned around and waved to the crowd,""Why are you all so nervous? I'm not an outsider. Sit, everyone sit. "
Then, he sat down on the chair in the middle, which was Xu Anshan's seat.
On the other hand, Xu Anshan was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he naturally stood behind him. At first glance, he looked like a Lackey.
The rest of the ten seats were used to this.
In his early years, Xu Anshan was the younger brother of this master of the Tian family. In terms of background, he was born to be a servant of the Tian family. However, Tian Xiangyang treated him like a brother and erased this layer of relationship.
Up to this day, his Imperial aura had become more and more robust, and he had even become the first seat of the Academy and dominated a region. However, in front of Tian Xiangyang, he was still just a little brother, no different from back then.
"This old master of the Tian family is indeed powerful."
Lin Yi and Shen Yifan looked at each other.
With just a few words of small talk, he had turned the intense internal battle between the ten Chiefs into nothing. The key was that everyone felt extremely comfortable with it. Such tactics and influence were truly amazing.
While the two were sighing, Tian Xiangyang's eyes were on Lin Yi,""You're Lin Yi? Not bad, a man of striking appearance, the future generations will be fearsome. "
"You're overpraising me,"
Lin Yi said with a slight nod.
Tian Xiangyang laughed,"a while ago, Han Qi mentioned you to me. He had high hopes for you. It's a pity that he was busy with other things at that time. Otherwise, we would have met long ago. However, a good meal is never afraid of late. We are destined to meet."
After saying that, Tian Xiangyang suddenly reacted,""You're the newcomer King today. Why are you still standing below? aren't you going to sit on the tenth seat?"
Lin Yi looked at Xu Anshan."The rules have changed this year. The newcomer King won't hold the tenth seat."
"Ha? There's such a thing?"
"Xiaoshan, you guys changed the rules?" Tian Xiangyang was astonished.
Xu Anshan looked at Lin Yi and nodded,""Yes, let's try."
"Xiaoshan, I did tell you that the Academy needs to learn to keep up with the times and make some changes at the right time. However, you're a little too hasty."
Tian Xiangyang shook his head and said,"it's a matter of great importance that concerns the tenth seat. At the very least, we should hold a few more briefing sessions so that everyone can be mentally prepared. You guys suddenly came up with such a plan that even I was caught off guard. I'm sure everyone has many different opinions. I've told you many times, you must fully respect everyone's opinions."
"You're right, big brother. "
Xu Anshan did not put on any airs in front of this person and admitted his mistake without hesitation.
Tian Xiangyang turned to the crowd and said,"I see that everyone is also full of doubts. How about this? I will overstep my authority and make a decision for you. The rule of the newcomer King holding the 10th seat will not change this year, but this matter will also be put up as a proposal. From today onwards, it will be officially included in the discussion."
"It's not just the ten of you who will be having a discussion. The majority of the students will be participating in the discussion as well. We'll try to come up with a plan that everyone can accept. We'll start the trial run next year. What do you think?"
Shen Qingnian and the rest of the ten-seat natives, including Lin Yi, had no objections to this.
As for the first seat, with Xu Anshan's obedience to this master of the Tian family, he wouldn't say a word even if he was slapped in the face in public. Not to mention, Tian Xiangyang's suggestion still took care of his face to a certain extent.
After all, whether intentionally or not, he had skipped over the matter of the Grand Master.
"If that's the case, Lin Yi, why don't you hurry up and take your position?"
Tian Xiangyang greeted Lin Yi with a smile.
Lin Yi didn't argue and walked up to the stands, taking his seat under everyone's eyes.
At this point, the tenth seat was finally decided.
At the side, the advisor went down the stairs in a daze. After losing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he had no fate with the ten seats. After all, with his potential and strength, he could only be an advisor at best.
He wanted to reach the heavens with his own strength? It was impossible.
The key was that not only was his future bleak, but after this incident, the credit financing he operated would definitely be heavily watched. Not only would Shen Qingnian and the other top 10 big shots of the local department watch him, but even Ji Chi's Discipline Committee might be the first to take action against him.
It was easy to imagine what would happen to a chess piece that had lost its value, especially when this chess piece could bring about unknown negative effects!
If he was fine, some people would not be able to sleep.
With Tian Xiangyang holding the fort, the following scene was naturally peaceful. Even if the cracks within the ten seats were so great that everyone knew about it, as long as Tian Xiangyang was present, the ten-seat Council could at least maintain superficial harmony.
However, those with discerning eyes could see that after today, the internal conflicts within the ten seats would be even more intense and irreconcilable.
It was not only because Zhang Shichang had challenged Xu Anshan in public, but more importantly, the power of the factions within the ten seats was getting closer and closer!
After all, there was no way Lin Yi would fall for the chief class.
Between the first seat and the native branch, the number of ten seats was basically five to five. Although in theory, when the votes of both sides were exactly the same, the first seat had the final ruling power, but that way, the dissatisfaction of the native branch would only accumulate.
One day, the dissatisfaction that was forcefully suppressed would completely erupt, and it was foreseeable that that day would not be too far away.
The conference came to an end.
Some were happy, while others were sad-as the tenth-place newcomer, Lin Yi didn't seem to be the final winner, even if everyone was happy.
Because of today's ascension process, he had been forced to completely walk on the opposite side of the chief!
Because of Han Qi, Lin Yi had a preconceived bias in this area, but it was one thing to stand with the native element, but it was another to become a thorn in the chief element's side.
