”Huh?”

”What's this?”
.
”Oh?”
.
Not only Liu Yang got Wei Yan's clan invitation, but Cai Wenji, Du Shi, Xiao Qiao, Da Qiao, Cao Xian, and Cao Qinghe also got the messages.
For not getting suspicion upon himself, Sima Yi asked the fat bodyguard of Cao Cao, Xu Chu, to invite more people, such as Cao Ang, and Cao Cao's officers who had not received the invitation yet.
This move was to blame Cao Cao for abusing the clan's feature, and all attention would be on him instead of himself and Wei Yan.
When everyone in the main clan noticed the influx of newcomers, they were shocked. Still, each member had a different reaction.
Jia Xu: ”Who the hell invited all the consorts here!? Zhang Tong's going to be pissed when he comes back!”
Ju Shou: ”Probably invited by mistakes. Look at these new people.”
Xu Chu: ”I invite all people here. The more, the merrier, right?”
Xun Yu: ”Oh boy. @Cao Cao. Please don't abuse the clan invitation. You've invited too many people.”
Cao Cao: ”Dafuq!? I didn't do anything!”
Xun Yu: ”Look at the people's name. All of them are your subordinates. Please refrain from inviting too many people!”
Xun Yu: ”Look above. Xu Chu just confessed that he did it.”
Cao Cao: ”The heck?”
Cao Cao: ”Whatever, IDGAF! @Cao Qinghe, @Cao Xian, welcome! How's life?”
Xun Yu: ”…”
Guo Jia: ”@Cao Cao. Please use the private message feature for a private matter. This channel is for an urgent announcement or public information.”
Jia Xu: ”@Guo Jia. He's just flexing as usual.”
Cao Cao: ”@Jia Xu. Be quiet, you traitor.”
Cao Cao: ”@Xu Chu. Read DM.”
Cao Cao: ”@Cao Qinghe, @Cao Xian. Let's talk in a private chat.”
Jia Xu: ”Someone is pissed. @Cao Qinghe, @Cao Xian, welcome to your father's workplace. Don't mind if we curse your father. HAHAHAHA!”
Sun Quan: ”@Da Qiao. @Xiao Qiao. Welcome. Please read PM.”
Jia Xu: ”Here comes another one. Hahahaha!”
Sima Yi's move was a success as Jia Xu and others mistook Xu Chu as the culprit of this incident. Although he did not know why Cao Cao was playing ignorant, Sima Yi proceeded to the next phase of his plan.
While he was waiting for others to arrive in the throne room and resume the yesterday's meeting, he fidgeted the clan menu, adding Cai Wenji and Du Shi in his contact list.

He sent a private message to Cai Wenji and Du Shi, inviting them to another private group chat.
Sima Yi: ”Hello. Could you help me invite Consort Wang to this clan chat? We were ordered to invite everyone including royal consorts to the clan, so we can discuss the future election.”
Cai Wenji: ”What's election?”
Du Shi: ”What is this thing?”
Sima Yi: ”The blue box with texts before you is his majesty's immortal power. He blessed us with this power, so we can communicate without seeing each other face-to-face. You can reply to my message by typing on the letters below the screen.”
Sima Yi: ”As for the election, his majesty has left a word that we have to select a new emperor by voting instead of selecting a successor directly. He simply gave the authority to his ministers.”

10 Minutes later
…
Cai Wenji: ”I get it. So this is how you type messages?”
Cai Wenji: ”My apologies for the delay. I can't find the right characters.”
She referred to the traditional characters, which was used in writing. However, the simplified characters on their keyboards were different, so it took time to figure it out. Moreover, as Cai Wenji and Du Shi were new to the system chat, it took them a long time to type.
Yet, Sima Yi was patient. For the sake of achieving his goal, he waited for them to learn typing.
While he was waiting for the two consorts to figure out the toy, the meeting resumed as Te Langpu started it again.
Sima Yi no longer paid attention to this fat man's babbling. He stared at his chat screen, waiting for Cai Wenji or Du Shi's reply.
Du Shi: ”Who is his majesty's successor?”
