“l came back yesterday.” Leonard realized that the other party seemed too calm. As he walked in, he tentatively asked the old man, “Elder Xue, have you heard any rumors recently?”

People greeted them along the way. They looked straight ahead and walked side by side.

Not getting a reply, Leonard deliberately dragged out his tone. “1 heard that the Ji family’s direct descendant has a dirty background.”

The silver-haired old man was the first to arrive. Hearing this, he stopped and looked at him with a faint smile. He rolled up his sleeves and casually said, “Is that so? Why did I hear a different version? The version 1 heard was that the person recommended by the Empress has a bad reputation in the independent continent and did many shameful things.”

He even deliberately asked, “Elder Leo just came back from the independent continent. Haven’t you heard of this?”

Leonard’s face reddened. Feeling like he had been slapped, he looked away and vaguely said, “Hehe, I didn’t hear of this in my stay there.”

“Mm.” Elder Xue had no intention of beating up someone down on their luck. He only nodded slightly and lightly said, “Let’s go in.”

Leonard felt powerless as if he had punched cotton.

However, since he was already there, he could not just stand at the door like a fool. He could only enter the Senate with a dark expression.

The Privy Council was the central institution of the massive reclusive families and represented the interests of hundreds of families. Therefore, when they had to make some important decisions, they needed everyone to vote.

When the two of them entered, 41 seats were already filled.

Elder Xue walked straight towards the conservatives. Leonard also walked in with a straight face.

Passing by the Neutral Faction, he deliberately stopped to greet one of them. “Is the archbishop not here yet?”

“Quentin still has some matters to take care of. He will arrive before the meeting begins.” The one who spoke was the man hiding in the shadows at the church that day.

Leonard nodded and said in a friendly tone, “Send him my regards.” He went to his seat after he finished speaking.

He was the one in charge of the radical faction. As soon as he sat down, someone leaned over and asked, “Elder Leo, will there be any accidents in today’s voting?”

“Hmph, don’t worry.” Leonard casually adjusted his clothes. “The Empress has already taken care of everything. The neutral faction will stand on our side.” He looked at the silver-haired old man sitting on the other side. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he snorted. “They will definitely lose today!’

“That’s good.”

“Then we’ll vote against.”

Everyone from the radical faction felt relieved. They all revealed relaxed expressions and smiled.

Leonard ignored them and sent a message to Ji Ziyin amidst the commotion.

[Remember to sweep your tail clean. Don’t let anyone catch you with a chink in your armor.]

Ji Ziyin replied very quickly.

[Elder Leo, don’t worry. I’ve already settled it. There won’t be any problems.]

Leonard lowered his head to read the message. The last trace of worry disappeared.

He looked up again and waited excitedly for the meeting to begin.

At the same time, outside the Senate.

The last main member of the Privy Council to arrive rushed in three minutes before the meeting began..
