Chapter 1650: Erhuo was Jealous

Erhuo was Jealous . . .

"I am what? Ineligible?" Chihuo felt fuzzy in the head all of a sudden. He couldn't believe it.

'Holy hell? How good do you think the Five Kings of the Monarch's Hall should be? Isn't the standard too high? I am Chihuo, one of the Seven Colored Lords, and you are telling me I am ineligible to be one of your Five Kings?'

'Besides, the Monarch's Hall has no great cultivators at the moment! I am doing you a great favor to join you! You should beg me to choose the position I want, shouldn't you?'

"Listen. Truth to be told, the positions of the Five Kings will remain vacant. Let's just assume that these five don't exist." Cha-Eun Xiao smiled and said, "Let me be clear to you. The Five Kings will remain vacant until the day when the Monarch's Hall becomes great. When the Monarch's Hall is great, I, the Monarch, will appoint the five persons. Before that, these are just five meaningless titles.

"You are ineligible not because you are weak. You are obviously powerful. In fact, anybody in the Monarch's Hall has his chance to be one of the Five Kings. It is just that… You have to fight for it. You have to earn it." Cha-Eun Xiao blandly smiled and said, "In fact, two thousand men in the Monarch's Hall were aiming at the positions of the Five Kings, including Bu Xiangfeng the Great Executor, Meng Youjiang the Head of all Departments, the leaders of the twelve units, the Seven Stars… Everyone is watching…

"If you tell people you want to be one of the Five Kings, they won't be surprised. 'I want to be one of the Five Kings too. Let's work hard on it!' That is what you will hear in return. No matter how powerful you are, you don't get the privilege!

"Nobody will just let you take the position.

"It is not only your dream!

"But also all the others!

"You want that position, then you need to be powerful, but not only to be powerful. It is not enough to have my approval!

"That is why you are ineligible." Cha-Eun Xiao looked at Chihuo and said, "I can't give you the position of one of the Five Kings. You can start from the Prime Guardian, or just forget about it."

Cha-Eun Xiao was decisive. There was no room to negotiate.

Chihuo was a bit upset.

'Who am I? I am Chihuo! One of the Seven Colored Lords!'

'I am not just somebody!'

'I can get a high position even in the Hall of Returning Nature, or the House of Chaotic Storms. They will let somebody go to make room for me! They will even treat me so well as if I were their ancestor…'

'How could you… Why is it so difficult to ask for just one position in the Monarch's Hall, such a small organization? I am ineligible… Well…'

"The Prime Guardian…" Chihuo said, "Do you have another position for me? Well… Not a dedicator or an elder…"

Cha-Eun Xiao said, "Sure!"

"What?" Chihuo was spirited.

He thought Cha-Eun Xiao was going to give him a special position!

"I need a steward." Cha-Eun Xiao smiled and said, "You can be my steward if you want. You will be free. I don't have a home in the Human Realm Upon Heavens yet. My steward won't have much work to do yet. You don't even need to report anything to me. You just have to mind your own business!"

Chihuo raged up in fury and said, "How dare you! You actually want me to be your servant!"

"I am not forcing you… You can choose the Prime Guardian… That is not my servant, but my brother!" Cha-Eun Xiao smiled and said, "Two options for you. Just pick one. You are free to choose."

'Free to choose'

Chihuo stared at Cha-Eun Xiao's smiling face and really wanted to punch him hard!

It wouldn't ease the anger in his chest even if he did.

'How could you say the word free? You only give me two options… One is to be your slave and the other is to be your brother…'

'That isn't free to choose, is it?'

'Free your arse!'

Chihuo was so angry that he couldn't say a word. After a while, he took a deep breath and said in a weak voice, like a rooster who just lost a fight, "I am free to choose… Well, I will choose the Prime Guardian…"

Cha-Eun Xiao clapped his hands and said, "You do know how to make a good choice! Brilliant! Now, in the name of the Monarch's Hall, I welcome you, Chihuo, to be the Prime Guardian of the Monarch's Hall!"

After that, he reached out a hand and sincerely said, "I believe you will know what a brilliant choice you just made in the future."

Chihuo nearly spat out blood.

'Brilliant choice?'

'Choosing to be a subordinate over a slave? That is not a difficult choice to make, is it? Nobody wants to be a slave!'

'Do I need to praise it too?'

Chihuo didn't know that somebody else was starting a fight against Cha-Eun Xiao at the moment!

Erhuo was angrily shouting at Cha-Eun Xiao. "Meow! Master! What the hell? What was that? How dare you offer the position of the steward to somebody else? What about me? Do you think anybody can be a steward? Do you know how hard it is to be a good steward? A steward must be powerful, educated, experienced, knowledgeable, and responsible! Look at that old man! How could you give him the offer? You are overestimating him!"

Cha-Eun Xiao was surprised. "What? Is it important? What is that? A good steward? Erhuo, do you know what you are talking about?"

Erhuo was still angry. "What do you mean? I am talking about you! Say it! You were wrong, weren't you?"

Cha-Eun Xiao was still in shock. He didn't understand why Erhuo had such a bad reaction. He softly said, "Can you please explain to me why I was wrong?"

Erhuo was less angry, so it said, "Master, you must understand. I am doing the steward's job for you. I am doing a great job as a steward! I am hard-working, careful, attentive, and responsible. That is why we can expand so fast recently! What do you think that old man can do? Do you think he can be as capable as I am? I am perfect! I am noble! I am pretty!"

Cha-Eun Xiao finally understood why Erhuo was angry. Erhuo felt threatened because of Chihuo! 'Holy heavens… What the hell? Aren't you such a paranoid?'

'Erhuo is jealous…'

'Wait… My steward is a cat?'
