Chapter 167 (2/2)

”Impudent!” shouted the third elder with a gloomy expression.

At this time, Luo Hua spoke, ”Whether I am a deserter is not for you to judge. I only have one thing to say. Anyone who thinks he is more suited for this position, feel free to stand out. If he really is a capable person, I won't mind withdrawing my claim to the position.”

Luo Hua had long foreseen that there would be objections. He was taking a step back momentarily so he could observe the situation before deciding his next steps.

”I think Senior Brother Luo will be the most suitable person for the position,” said the eighth elder while pointing at Luo Yongcheng. After that, a few more people voiced their support for Luo Yongcheng. And thus, a fight over the princ.i.p.al position broke out between the two factions, while the attendees of the funeral became the spectators of this new drama.

”What is the point of arguing here? I say we let the town head and the elders of the town vote for it,” said Luo Hua with a confident smile, as if everything was within his grasp.

After he made the suggestion, a few well-respected individuals of the town were invited out of the crowd. They were all well-known elders of the town, including the town head, and they represented the desire of a part of the Green Bamboo Town as a whole. Luo Yongcheng and his supporters had not seen this coming and were all caught by surprise.

”We all support Vice Princ.i.p.al Luo Hua as the new princ.i.p.al,” the elders said after signaling Luo Hua with their eyes.

”Head town and fellow elders, how can you make such a choice?” The people from Luo Yongcheng's faction were dissatisfied.

”Allow me to say a few words,” said the town head. He had been holding tightly to the town head position for many years, unwilling to relinquish the position even after many years. Similar to Luo Hua, he was also a greedy and cowardly person.

”Luo Hua has contributed greatly to the Green Bamboo Town over the years. As the town head, I am well aware of what he has done...,” the town head started singing Luo Hua praises.

Everyone knew that the town head was blatantly lying, but since he was the town head, n.o.body could really stop him from speaking.

”Bulls.h.i.+t! Those are all the contributions of the Green Bamboo Academy as a whole. Why are they suddenly the contributions of him alone?” questioned Luo Yongcheng. He could no longer hold his anger; they were too shameless.

”Yes, they are the contributions of the academy, but without Vice Princ.i.p.al Luo Hua taking charge of the academy, how would there be contributions? How about this, I will give my support to you, Luo Yongcheng, to be the new vice princ.i.p.al, whereas Luo Hua can be the new princ.i.p.al,” said the town head.

The group of old men behind him all supported his decision. As for Luo Hua's faction, they naturally supported the decision as well. Many of them even started persuading the others to agree to it.

In their eyes, it was the best solution to their current impa.s.se. After all, even if Luo Yongcheng was the second elder, his position was still beneath Luo Hua's. For him to be promoted straight to vice princ.i.p.al was already a great offer. Because of that, not even the people from Luo Yongcheng's faction knew what to say anymore.

”Alright, it's decided then. Luo Hua will be the new princ.i.p.al, and Luo Yongcheng will be the new vice princ.i.p.al. Apart from that, I volunteer myself to become the other vice princ.i.p.al as well,” said the third elder.

Right this instant, a voice rang out in the air, ”It would be better if this young master is the princ.i.p.al instead.”
