Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"These three are quite self-aware!" Seeing this, Cao Fangcun's face immediately revealed a sinister look, and he turned to smile at the other two Cao family elders.

Since entering, those two had been closely following Cao Fangcun's side, and seeing this scene, a strong sense of sarcasm couldn't help but emerge in their eyes.

Chen Tian's expression was very indifferent from beginning to end. After glancing at the three people who were tensely facing each other, he slightly shifted his gaze and looked towards Cao Fangcun and the others.

He had to admit that this time, Chen Tian had indeed misjudged.

He originally thought that Cao Fangcun was a refined and humble person, but only after coming to this place did Cao Fangcun's true colors gradually reveal themselves.

Contrary to Chen Tian's imagination, Cao Fangcun's scheming was so deep that from beginning to end, he and the gray-robed elder and others had all become pawns under the control of the Cao family.

Especially the gray-robed elder and others, who were now being completely played by Cao Fangcun!

However, Chen Tian was not so easily bullied. He had already made up his mind that if Cao Fangcun dared to try to take advantage of him, then their death would be upon them.

Thinking of this, an imperceptible, bone-chilling cold light flashed in Chen Tian's eyes, but it quickly subsided again, returning to his original expressionless state.

At this time, the gray-robed elder, Pu Suanzi, and the middle-aged beautiful woman were still facing each other tensely, sizing each other up, not daring to relax for a moment.

Anxious and irritable aura slowly emanated from them, causing the surrounding atmosphere to freeze.

After a quarter of an hour, Cao Fangcun narrowed his eyes and suddenly said loudly, "Continuing this stalemate will probably still be fruitless. How about I nominate someone?"

Once the silent atmosphere is broken, it will instantly lose control, making the originally restless mood in everyone's heart even more violent.

Therefore, after hearing Cao Fangcun's words, the three people who were in a stalemate seemed to be greatly shocked, and they retreated three steps in succession, their blood surging and their faces pale.

The gray-robed elder had the highest strength among the three, and had always been their leader. Therefore, after stabilizing his mind, he pondered slightly and nodded, "Young Master Cao is right. Since the Cao family is leading this operation, then naturally everything must be arranged by Young Master Cao. It is most appropriate for you to nominate someone."

Pu Suanzi and the middle-aged beautiful woman glanced at the gray-robed elder in surprise after hearing this, but ultimately said nothing.

They knew that at this time and in this situation, it was no longer something they could control.

Cao Fangcun nodded quite satisfied after hearing this, then looked at the three of them and smiled, "Okay, since that's the case, then this junior will be impolite. I think this candidate should be…"

As he spoke, Cao Fangcun's finger kept hovering over the three of them, and each time it pointed at them, their faces would suddenly turn pale and their breathing would become rapid.

Saying that, Cao Fangcun looked at the others again and said, "In this way, if you support my decision, please raise your left hand. Conversely, raise your right hand. If you don't raise anything, it will be regarded as abstention. How about it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence, but no one objected, obviously acquiescing.

Seeing this, Cao Fangcun smiled triumphantly and said loudly, "Okay, let's begin then. Left hand or right hand, as you please."

After saying that, Cao Fangcun didn't hesitate at all and immediately raised his left hand. Seeing this, the two Cao family elders sneered and then followed suit, also raising their left hands.

In this way, there were already three people in agreement.

As for Chen Tian, he had been drawing a clear line between himself and the others from the very beginning, maintaining neutrality, so he neither raised his left hand nor his right hand, obviously abstaining.

Three people agreed, one person abstained. If the gray-robed elder and the others all opposed, then it would be a three-to-three situation, and this proposal would be declared aborted.

Needless to say, the middle-aged beautiful woman, as soon as Cao Fangcun finished speaking, she raised her right hand high. At the same time, she stared expectantly at the gray-robed elder and Pu Suanzi.

Pu Suanzi and she were old friends, and they had known each other for a very long time, and their relationship was very close. Therefore, for Pu Suanzi, this was a very difficult choice.

Pu Suanzi first wanted to raise his left hand, but after some thought, he put it down again. Then he wanted to raise his right hand, but after considering it for a while, he also put it down.

Therefore, Pu Suanzi, like Chen Tian, ultimately abstained.

As for the gray-robed elder, after a brief period of contemplation, a look of determination appeared in his eyes, and he resolutely raised his left hand, actually agreeing!

Seeing this scene, not only the middle-aged beautiful woman, but even Cao Fangcun couldn't help but be surprised.

To be honest, everything up to now was within Cao Fangcun's calculations. He had expected Chen Tian to abstain, and he had also expected Pu Suanzi to abstain, but what he didn't expect was that the gray-robed elder, who he had originally expected to abstain as well, actually raised his hand in agreement at this time.

This really exceeded Cao Fangcun's expectations, causing him to be greatly surprised.

Equally surprised was the middle-aged beautiful woman. In fact, when Pu Suanzi abstained, she had already felt despair. After all, even if the gray-robed elder and she both opposed, the number of votes would not be enough.

But what she never expected was that the gray-robed elder not only did not help her, but also stabbed her already riddled heart with a knife.

Looking at the gray-robed elder's raised left hand, the middle-aged beautiful woman immediately sneered and said, "I have really blinded my own eyes to have allied with someone like you! I never thought that the one who would hurt me the most in the end would be my own companion!"

She was indeed heartbroken. Even if the gray-robed elder had abstained, she would not have said anything. But what made her feel cold was that the gray-robed elder actually colluded with Cao Fangcun and the others to put her to death! How could this not make her sad?
