Are You Satisfied?
"Liu Yue!"
But at this moment, Luo Zheng called out the last name. "Step forward!"
"Ah? Yes, yes, many thanks, many thanks for Lord Marquis's promotion! "
The general who had been called out was at the middle stage of the Earth Dharma Realm. He could not believe his own name when he heard it.
After a moment of daze, he hastily jumped out and thanked Luo Zheng profusely. He could not believe it.
The expression on Kong Yuan's face instantly became incomparably interesting.
His expression changed from smugness to shock, disappointment, and finally anger.
He simply could not accept that the last person Luo Zheng had chosen was not him.
He could not be placed in the Imperial Guard. Putting aside how many benefits he had lost, it was an enormous humiliation that he had not been chosen out of the four late stage Earth Dharma Realm experts.
"Lord Marquis, did you remember the wrong name? My name is Kong Yuan, not Liu Yue!"
Kong Yuan's expression was extremely ugly as he stepped forward and spoke to Luo Zheng.
"Haha, this Marquis is not someone who can't even remember the names of a dozen or so people. Naturally, I know that you are called Liu Yuan. What is it?"
Luo Zheng chuckled as he spoke with a mocking tone.
Kong Yuan's expression became even uglier. From the smile on Luo Zheng's face, he immediately knew that Luo Zheng had purposely not chosen him.
A burst of anger immediately erupted from his chest.
However, he did not dare to be impudent in front of the Yellow Heavenly King. He could only suppress his anger and ask, "Lord Marquis, I want to know why Lord Marquis did not choose me when my cultivation and strength are both above Liu Yue's."
"You want to know?"
Luo Zheng flicked his fingers and said, "So what if you want to know? Do I need to explain to you every single time I make a decision? What is your status? "
"Marquis Shenjian … Lord, you are going too far. Just because I was not as respectful when I went to welcome you, you are taking revenge on me like this!"
Kong Yuan saw that Luo Zheng's words were completely disregarding him and couldn't help but become even angrier. "I refuse to accept this!"
"Revenge? Are you worthy of this Marquis' revenge? "
Luo Zheng couldn't help but laugh, and said: "With your attitude, even if you cultivated to the Sky Profound Realm, it would still be difficult for you to enter this Marquis' eyes. In a military formation, the most important thing was that from top to bottom, every order was as one, and every order was executed without fail. For an arrogant and conceited person like you, if you want me to explain to you every time I give an order and pester you endlessly, wouldn't that delay the military plans and cause a huge mistake?! What do you think? Are you satisfied with this explanation? "
"You …"
Kong Yuan was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and his resentment was about to explode.
The Yellow Heavenly King waved his hand and said, "Alright, Marquis Shenjian is right. Kong Yuan, with your current temperament, it is indeed unsuitable for you to enter the Imperial Guard. Alright, all of you should return to the Imperial Guard. Those who have been chosen should also make their preparations. In a moment, you will follow Marquis Shenjian to the Imperial Guard!"
Kong Yuan clenched his teeth and glared hatefully at Luo Zheng before retreating with the others.
Liu Yue looked at Luo Zheng with eyes full of gratitude.
This time, whether it was in terms of cultivation, strength, or the Yellow Heavenly King's deliberate arrangements, Liu Yue had no hope at all.
However, Luo Zheng had unexpectedly chosen him. This was a great kindness, and Liu Yue naturally had to be extremely grateful.
"This brat actually went against this King's wishes."
Although the Yellow Heavenly King seemed to support Luo Zheng's choice on the surface, he was also somewhat dissatisfied. "Luo Zheng is truly a rare genius. He is so bold at such a young age, and his methods are also ruthless. He actually used the opportunity to recruit Kong Yuan and even bribed the person this King placed in the Imperial Guard. However, Kong Yuan is indeed useless. No matter how high his cultivation base is, he's just a brute. "
The Yellow Heavenly King secretly compared Luo Zheng to Kong Yuan as various thoughts ran through his mind. "Compared to Luo Zheng, Kong Yuan isn't even fit to carry his shoes. He actually dares to be so arrogant in front of Luo Zheng. How foolish. Unfortunately, no matter how outstanding Luo Zheng is, he won't be able to be used by me forever … "
"Uncle, I wonder if there's any result from my request to meet Tian Feng Celestial King?"
At this time, everyone had retreated, and only the two of them were left in the main hall. Luo Zheng asked.
"I've already asked about this matter. I'm afraid you won't be able to meet Tian Feng Celestial King for the time being. I've received news from the Imperial City that Tian Feng Celestial King had entered the endless void the day before I met him. I'm afraid he won't be back anytime soon. If you want to meet him, I'm afraid it'll be at least a few years later! "
The Yellow Heavenly King smiled and said, "Luo Zheng, is there a reason why you want to meet Tian Feng Celestial King? Perhaps this King can help you. "
"If the Immortal King can help me, that would be the best."
Luo Zheng was disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face. His eyes flickered as he said, "I just want to see what kind of existence a Heavenly Dao Realm expert is."
"You sly brat, are you mocking this King for not being able to enter the Heavenly Dao Realm?"
