Chen Xiao turned his head to look at the one who objected to his decision, only to find that it was a guy he didn't know. Although he didn't know why the other party objected, he didn't know what to say, he just looked at the Celestial Emperor with clasped hands and said, "This official thinks his cultivation is still good enough, if King Duan doesn't mind, this subject doesn't have any objections!"
"Alright!" Then, he looked towards the other white robed middle-aged man standing beside Yan Hui and asked with a smile: "Duan Wang, from what I know, back then, with just Deity Realm alone, you entered the Starry Sky Stadium, and even made a meritorious service to stop the Insect Tsunami, even the few generals guarding the Starry Sky Stadium were extremely impressed with Chen Xiao's performance back then. From this, you can see how powerful his fighting strength is, if he was under your control, would you be willing?"
Facing the words of the Celestial Emperor, the white robed man, also known as Duan Wang, cupped his hands and said, "This subject naturally welcomes you. Even if Your Majesty did not say it, this subject has heard of Sir Chen's valiant battle achievements, so this subject is very satisfied with Sir Chen's achievements. It can be said that I am very pleased, but I am afraid that President Feng Lin would not be willing to let me go!"
As he said this, Duan Wang glanced at the fellow who had spoken out against earlier.
As expected, he immediately heard the fellow who spoke earlier retort, "This subject means that Pill King Chen's talent in the Pill Dao is extremely rare. If he were to send out his troops now, his talent in alchemy would definitely be ruined, and if he is able to send Pill King Chen to our Pill Assembly to be taught by this subject, he would definitely become a new Tier 9 Pill King in the future. This is a blessing for our Pill Assembly, for His Majesty, and for the entire Immortal Domain!"
"Alright, Feng Lin, I understand what you mean, but I have my own reasons, so this discussion is not a big deal. Why don't we listen to Chen Xiao's own opinion? If he is willing to go to your Pill Assembly, then we have no other opinions!"
The moment the Heavenly Emperor said that, Chen Xiao immediately looked at the guy that objected in surprise.
That guy looked like a delicate and pretty teenager, but his cultivation had also reached the middle stage of the Divine Soul Realm. Previously, Chen Xiao didn't notice him because he was standing at the back of the group.
However, after hearing the words of the Celestial Emperor, Chen Xiao immediately understood.
This good-looking young man in front of him was actually the Pill Assembly Alliance Head, Feng Lin, who was in charge of managing the pill refiners of the Immortal Domain!
Speaking of which, this guy still had a good impression of Chen Xiao. Back then, when Chen Xiao was looking for someone, President Feng Lin had guided Chen Xiao through the vice president, allowing Chen Xiao to find the person smoothly.
Therefore, after confirming that this fellow was President Feng Lin, Chen Xiao took a step forward and cupped his hands towards the president: "Brat Chen Xiao, greetings to the Chairman, I appreciate the good intentions of the Chairman. However, this brat still likes the days of brandishing blades and brandishing guns, if he really stays in the Pill Tower for a long period of time, I'm afraid that the brat will not be able to sit still, so, I can only apologize to you."
Chen Xiao's words were spoken with sincerity, while President Feng Lin's gaze was fixed on Chen Xiao for a good while, and then he turned his gaze back to the Celestial Emperor and clasped his hands, "Your Majesty, since this is Pill King Chen's own choice, then this subject has no objections!"
With that, Feng Lin took two steps back and retreated into the crowd. He obviously didn't plan on speaking any further.
The great hall fell into silence for a while. Everyone was waiting for the Heavenly Emperor's judgement.
"Alright, since this is the choice made by Chen Aiqing, then from today onwards, you will accept the position of Duan Wang Hao as Lieutenant!" The Celestial Emperor said slowly.
"Lieutenant?" Duan Wang said in surprise, "Your Majesty, aside from Lieutenant, this subject also has two other vice-marshals. I wonder if Your Majesty has anyone else?"
The moment Duan Wang's words came out, the group of people immediately scolded the old fox in their hearts.
Although the assistant marshal is only half as strong as Lieutenant, his military power is more than ten times that of Lieutenant. Duan Wang's words are a reminder to His Majesty that I still have two vice-marshal seats, isn't it inappropriate for you to arrange for Lieutenant to be with Chen Xiao? Perhaps he could be assigned to the position of vice commander-in-chief?
Duan Wang said this. If His Majesty agrees, then Chen Xiao will owe Duan Wang a great favor because this position was won by him for Chen Xiao. If not, then Duan Wang will not lose anything and will similarly leave a good impression on Chen Xiao.
Of course, this might offend His Majesty, but for people of their status, occasionally bickering with His Majesty was not a big deal. Even the Heavenly Emperor would not bother with them.
It could be said that after saying those words, regardless of the outcome, he, Duan Wang, had already won!
Sure enough, the gaze of the Celestial Emperor fell on Duan Wang's face. He glanced at Duan Wang, then looked at Chen Xiao and smiled, "I believe that Chen Xiao can rely on his own strength to step into the position of marshal, but, there is always a starting point for everything. This is the first time I've led a troop, and I'm not very familiar with many things.
The words of the Celestial Emperor were equally beautiful. Not only did they point out that he was optimistic about Chen Xiao, but they also let others know that Chen Xiao was only there for the time being to gain some experience. In the future, it was very likely that he would directly become a marshal.
The group of people muttered in their hearts and many of them once again cast their gaze onto Chen Xiao. They were all curious.
What kind of charm did this seemingly ordinary Chen Xiao have to be able to attract His Majesty's interest?
Everyone had different thoughts in their minds. Chen Xiao also thought of many things, but he didn't say anything in the end. He faced the Celestial Emperor and said, "This subject accepts the decree!"
With that, Chen Xiao cupped his hands towards Duan Wang and said, "This subordinate greets Lord Duan. I hope you can give me some pointers in the future."
"Haha, good, good!" Duan Wang laughed and cupped his hands towards Chen Xiao. Then, he stood back to his original position and quietly waited.
Chen Xiao also retreated at the right time.
Sure enough, the Sky Emperor continued to speak. Following that, quite a few names were called out in their Patrol Hall. Two of them replaced Chen Xiao and Ban Chang, and some went under the helmets of the other two princes.
It could be said that under the four new kings' helmets, the Heavenly Emperor had put in people.
As for why the Celestial Emperor had assigned these people, everyone was well aware of that. He was doing it to control these four new kings, to prevent them from allying together to cause a ruckus, and when the time came, they would do the same as the Mu King.
The military deployment lasted for nearly an hour before it came to an end.
After the conclusion, the group walked out of the palace together. The moment Chen Xiao walked out, he saw Duan Wang standing not too far away, looking at him with a smile. By Duan Wang's side, President Feng Lin was also silently looking at Chen Xiao who was walking over.
Obviously, the two of them were standing here waiting for Chen Xiao.
