Eunuch Gao looked at Leng Shiqi and the others and said, "Time is of the essence. You only have one chance to persuade me."
The first to speak was the middle-aged man standing in the middle. Although Leng Shiqi wasn't familiar with this person, he still knew him.
This person's name was Ning Xinghua. He had a powerful cultivation base at the late stage of Unity of Heaven and Man. He could be considered Eunuch Gao's true right-hand man.
Ning Xinghua had been following Eunuch Gao for more than ten years and had made countless contributions to the empire.
Among the six of them, Ning Xinghua was the most qualified to compete for the position of one of the four chiefs.
He cupped his fists and said, "My Lord, I will fight for you in the Dark Thunder Guard!"
Ning Xinghua didn't say much. He didn't need to say much. Just one sentence was enough. This was his confidence!
However, the others couldn't give up just like that. Immediately, the next person took over.
Originally, Leng Shiqi was also thinking about how to persuade Eunuch Gao. However, a thick drop of ink suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Immediately, the ink drop seemed to drip into the water and rippled. The scene around him instantly turned into a sea of black fire!
Heavenly Sage Hei Yan turned into a flame god and stared at Leng Shiqi.
Leng Shiqi didn't panic at all. He immediately saluted and said, "Greetings, Commander."
"I'm here for your reward." Heavenly Sage Hei Yan directly stated his purpose.
In fact, Leng Shiqi had guessed the moment Heavenly Sage Hei Yan appeared. He raised his head and asked, "Commander, I wonder if I can change my reward?"
"Hmm?" Heavenly Sage Hei Yan was a little surprised. "You don't even want a Heaven and Earth Variant?
You should know better than anyone the power of a Heaven and Earth Variant. "
Leng Shiqi nodded and said, "Yes, a Heaven and Earth Variant is indeed powerful. However, I want something else. I only need a word from you."
Hearing this, Heavenly Sage Hei Yan seemed to have guessed Leng Shiqi's plan. He chuckled and said, "Liu Xingzhi, even if you have made great contributions, I can't support you in competing for the position of one of the four chiefs.
Moreover, in this noble one's opinion, your chances are indeed very slim. I'm afraid that it would be very difficult for you to even get past Manager Gao. "
"That's why I want a chance!"
Empyrean Black Flame stared at Leng Shiqi a few more times. "Your ambition is not small. Fine, this Empyrean wants to see what other tricks you are hiding."
After saying this, Empyrean Black Flame snapped his fingers and Leng Shiqi's consciousness instantly returned. He turned his head and saw that the second person had just finished speaking.
When the third person was about to speak, Eunuch Gao's expression suddenly changed. He reached out and interrupted the person, then suddenly looked at Leng Shiqi.
Eunuch Gao's series of reactions aroused everyone's suspicion. They subconsciously looked at Leng Shiqi.
Eunuch Gao said in a hoarse voice, "You don't have to say anymore. I already know what to do."
The others were all taken aback, especially the third person. He had lost his chance before he could even speak, so he felt extremely stifled in his heart.
Ning Xinghua secretly smiled, feeling that he was in the bag.
He did not expect Eunuch Gao to say, "I will do my best to recommend Liu Xingzhi!"
"What?!"
The others in the room suddenly stared at each other. Ning Xinghua could not help but exclaim. Even the two old men who had already given up stood up in surprise.
At this time, everyone stared at Leng Shiqi. They did not understand. Eunuch Gao had just asked them to persuade him, but in the blink of an eye, he changed his mind and directly appointed Leng Shiqi.
Why was this?
This "Liu Xingzhi" had no qualifications, no cultivation, and no meritorious service. What qualifications did he have?!
Ning Xinghua did not care about anything else. He directly asked, "My Lord, it's not that I doubt you, but you should at least give us an explanation. Why is this so?"
Eunuch Gao stood up and said as he walked out, "This is the Grand Commander's intention!"
After saying this, Eunuch Gao left the place. It seemed that he was trying to build a relationship with Leng Shiqi, but the rest of the people were a bit frozen.
Ning Xinghua clenched his fists tightly and then loosened them. This was the closest he had ever been to being one of the four chiefs. If he missed this opportunity, he was afraid that he would never have another chance.
He looked fiercely at Leng Shiqi and said, "I really admire Lord Liu's ability to flatter others. Not only did you manage to get close to Eunuch Gao, you even got close to the Grand Commander.
But do you think you can become one of the four chiefs like this?
You're too naive! "
Although the others were not as explicit as Ning Xinghua, they did not give Leng Shiqi a good look.
If he relied on his own ability to get to the top, then they would naturally be convinced. But Leng Shiqi could not compare to anyone else. How could they be convinced?
As for Leng Shiqi, he did not care. He did not care about what Ning Xinghua and the others thought. He also did not care about what anyone thought. As long as he could sit in the position of one of the four chiefs, he would make everyone obediently shut their mouths.
After that, he returned to Xingzhi Pavilion by himself. He Feichen had already received the news that Eunuch Gao was going to recommend him. With a face full of excitement, he said, "Congratulations, sir. You are now only one step away from becoming one of the Four Chief Stewards!"
Leng Shiqi shook his head, "What's there to congratulate. One step away, one thousand li away. The other two chiefs will definitely recommend someone much stronger than me."
He Fei Chen's face also became serious. He quietly said, "My Lord, this subordinate has already asked around about the other two people."
"Is that so? Let's hear it." Leng Shiqi did not expect He Fei Chen to be so well-informed.
"Chief Shen Tu recommended Quan Zhengzhi. This person's cultivation is profound, and he is also rather extreme. He is upright and plainspoken, and abhors evil.
Even if the Dark Thunder Guards did something wrong, he would not show any favoritism and severely punish them. Therefore, he has offended many people.
However, once someone is in danger, he will go save them even if it costs him his life. He does not care about his own life and interests.
At the same time, he is also respected by many people. Therefore, anyone who supports him will definitely support him. His voice is very loud. "
When Leng Shiqi heard this, he was rather interested in this Quan Zhengzhi. This person really lived up to his name.
He Fei Chen continued, "As for the other person recommended by Chief Hai, Xu Weiran, he is even more impressive. This person competed with Chief Shen Tu for the position of one of the four chiefs more than ten years ago. Unfortunately, he was one step behind.
Later on, he joined Chief Hai's faction. This time, he is preparing to make a comeback. His prestige is extremely high. He is also the person that everyone thinks is most likely to become one of the four chiefs. "
Leng Shiqi nodded. Since the news of the other two people had been obtained by He Fei Chen, then the news of Eunuch Gao recommending him would naturally be obtained by others.
Right now, he could already imagine the doubts and ridicule of others. He was definitely the one with the least hope.
