Zheng Qianye was indeed from the Azure Cloud sect.

However, to her, the sect was only a hindrance.

After the Immortal stage cultivators ascended, she was already at the peak of the Tribulation stage.

At the same time, she held great power.

Therefore, she didn’t want to listen to the commands of the Azure Cloud sect.

Not to mention the commands of the other sects.

However, she was also very clear that with her current strength, it wasn’t enough to get rid of the Azure Cloud sect.

Therefore, she needed an external aid.

She set her gaze on Lu Ping.

When Zheng Qianye heard Lu Ping’s question, she smiled lightly and said, “It’s true that I came from the Azure Cloud sect, but I’m now the commander of the Qingzhou state, responsible for all the affairs of the Qingzhou state. I represent all the cultivators of the Qingzhou state, don’t I? I’m no longer just representing the Azure Cloud sect. The Azure Cloud sect is only a part of the Qingzhou state.”

Lu Ping narrowed his eyes. “And then?”

“I hope that Sect Master Lu can provide me with some support and protect my safety and status. If Sect Master Lu is willing, I can include the Azure Cloud sect into the Qingzhou state’s general affairs sect!”

The Qingzhou state’s general affairs sect represented that they could get a share of the Qingzhou state’s tax revenue!

However, it was not easy to become the Qingzhou state’s general affairs sect.

Once they became the Qingzhou state’s general affairs sect, they would gain a lot of benefits.

Lu Ping tapped the table with his finger and said with a smile, “I think that if I want to, I can also establish a spokesperson myself.”

That was true.

With the current situation, it would not be a problem for Lu Ping to rely on his cultivation to take advantage of the situation.

No sect would oppose Lu Ping directly.

Zheng Qianye smiled and said, “Of course, but things aren’t as easy as Sect Master Lu thinks. A commander of the Qingzhou state is just a manager on the surface. It’s not that easy to manage a state. If I have the support of all the sects, even if I say something now, many people will obey me on the surface, not to mention a new person that Sect Master Lu is supporting? If I have to offend all the sects at the same time, it will be difficult for me to take even a single step.”

“So Sect Master Lu, it’s best for you to support me. It’s the most cost-effective and convenient, isn’t it?”

Lu Ping looked at the woman in front of him and fell into deep thought.

It had to be said that if he wasn’t the planet official of Fengming Planet, he would definitely agree with this woman’s words.

However, putting it back, his current position as a planet official would be exposed sooner or later.

If he could get involved in the management of Qingzhou state, his disciples would be promoted to various positions in Qingzhou state in the future.

It was just a matter of time.

But Lu Ping didn’t have such a plan.

This wasn’t what Lu Ping wanted, because under such unbridled circumstances, all kinds of problems and conflicts of interests would inevitably arise.

It wasn’t necessarily a good thing for the development of the sect.

Lu Ping wanted to obtain financial resources.

But he didn’t want them to be burdened with mundane matters.

Sometimes, it was better to cultivate purely.

Seeing that Lu Ping wasn’t speaking, Zheng Qianye continued, “Sect Master Lu, actually, our cooperation might just be the beginning. As long as you’re willing to help me with your current cultivation and my methods, our sphere of influence can even be larger!”

At this point, excitement flashed in Zheng Qianye’s eyes. “As long as you can use your relationship with the Heavenly Court to ensure that only you, an Immortal stage expert, are left on Fengming Planet, no one will be able to interfere with you. At that time, we can annex the rest of the states and govern several states, or even dozens of states. Even the entirety of Fengming Planet will be under our jurisdiction. At that time, the Seven Phoenixes sect will be the number one sect on Fengming Planet, and you will be the person who has the final say on Fengming Planet!”

These were Zheng Qianye’s true thoughts.

Lu Ping made an evaluation of the woman in front of him.

Clearly, she was very ambitious!

She wanted to stand on top of everyone.

Lu Ping smiled and said, “Why should I choose you? According to what you said, even if I don’t support the newcomers, I can choose to cooperate with others. The benefits you give me are something that many people can give.”

Zheng Qianye smiled and leaned forward slightly. She said with a hint of temptation, “Because I can give everything to you, including myself!”

She had come personally, so she naturally knew that there would be gains and losses.

Therefore, she had long been prepared to give everything.

She did not think that these would be able to move Lu Ping.

However, a powerful woman submitting to him was a considerable temptation to any man.

Just as she finished speaking.

Bang! The door was kicked open.

Huang Shiliu barged in and shouted at Zheng Qianye, “I knew you weren’t a good person! Seducing my brother-in-law? Go to hell!”

As she spoke, she jumped up high and threw a punch at Zheng Qianye.

She was extremely fast, and while Zheng Qianye was shocked, she had already attacked.

A brilliant light flashed across Zheng Qianye’s body, and a silver gas barrier was erected.

Her clothes were a protective treasure!

But unfortunately, in the next second, the gas barrier shattered, and her fist smashed into Zheng Qianye’s face!

Bang! Zheng Qianye was sent flying at an extremely fast speed.

She crashed into the wall!

If it wasn’t for the fact that this building had an entire protective array, this one punch would have definitely smashed through the wall.

Huang Shiliu didn’t kill her.

That was why Lu Ping didn’t stop her. It wasn’t a bad thing for this woman to suffer a little.
