Ai Tutu was startled. She spun around to see who had stopped her from hitting Gu Jian.
However, her expression changed instantly when she saw the tanned face behind her.
Gu Jian raised his head and saw a man standing behind Ai Tutu, firm like a black treasure sword. His expressionless face was intimidatingly dignified.
Why would he have such an aura when he was the same age as himself?
”Sorry, my sister lacks some manners...” The tanned man did not let go of Ai Tutu's hand. His face had no expression as he apologized to Gu Jian.
”You...you're… Ai Jiangtu!” Gu Jian recognized the person. He glanced at the girl who had given him two slaps in the face in disbelief and said, ”She...she's your sister?”
”Brother, I...” Ai Tutu completely withdrew her little demoness temperament, as if she had just seen her strict father. She was as obedient as a little kitten being taught a lesson.
Ai Tutu nodded and slowly let go of Ai Tutu's hand.
He walked up to Gu Jian and said, ”My father has led the army in fighting against the demon beasts for many years, hence he had been loose on my sister, if she has done anything wrong...”
Gu Jian's face regained some expression when he heard those words.
It seemed like Ai Jiangtu did not want to cross the line with his Gu Family, yet why didn't he stop her earlier? He had already crawled on the ground and taken two slaps to the face!
”Humph, I admit my defeat since I lost the bet, but the elders in my family won't get over this easily, since her impersonating my teammate has now cost me my nomination!” Gu Jian had regained his confidence. He had to get his face back.
”My father has a vote, I'll let him know, as a compensation for your loss,” said Ai Jiangtu in a seemingly humble manner.
The words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.
Those with the ability to vote were surely authorities of the country. Even some Councilmen or the Chairman of Magic Associations could not guarantee they would get a vote. What kind of background did this Ai Jiangtu have, that his father would have a vote in his hand!?
”Are you serious?” Gu Jian's eyes glittered.
If he could secure the vote, he would end up the winner even after suffering the three slaps!
”I already have four votes as a representative of the military academy, so my father's vote won't make any difference...” said Ai Jiangtu.
The crowd went crazy as soon as he finished the sentence.
Four votes! That guy had four votes!
He was the real provisional candidate!
Even Mo Fan was taken by surprise, and immediately reevaluated the tanned young man who had the temperament of a real Battlemage.
Even someone special like him only had three votes, making him a half-provisional candidate. He was told that someone else was already selected as a provisional candidate, yet he never thought it would be Ai Tutu's brother, representing the military academy!
