Gu Nian's face was filled with arrogance. He wouldn't submit to Master Gu Er or anyone else.
The people on Master Gu Er's side turned to Master Gu Er. They did not understand why he would suddenly involve his future son-in-law in this. This was not part of the script they had rehearsed beforehand.
Gu Nian turned a blind eye to Master Gu Er and Master Wei Wu's explicit hints. He gave his election speech. Everyone else believed their own candidate would win so their speech was perfunctory. However, Gu Nian was serious.
His seriousness showed the low standards of his competition.
Thus, everyone turned their complaining gazes to Master Gu Er and Master Wei Wu.
