Seeing that Huang Shiliu was going to move again, Lu Ping smiled and said, “That’s enough, Shiliu.”
Hearing this, Huang Shiliu stopped.
She wrinkled her nose and snorted, “If I didn’t come in just now, would you have agreed?”
“How is that possible?”
Lu Ping shook his head and said, “It’s an adult’s matter. A child should mind their own business. You can leave now.”
Seeing that Lu Ping was serious, Huang Shiliu hesitated for a moment and decided to leave. However, she glared fiercely at Zheng Qianye, who had climbed up from the ground, and gritted her teeth, “Ugly woman, if you dare seduce my brother-in-law again, I’ll kill you.”
Zheng Qianye looked at the child in front of her with fear in her eyes!

She was terrifying.
No matter what, she still had the strength of a Tribulation stage cultivator.
However, in front of this child, she was completely powerless to fight back.
Most importantly, when this child attacked just now, she didn’t even sense any spiritual energy fluctuations!
Oh right, she said Lu Ping was her brother-in-law!
Didn’t that mean that this child was also…
……
As the governor of a state, Zheng Qianye knew of Huang Xiaoqi’s identity.
Before coming here, she had done her homework. Before this, Huang Xiaoqi often presided over the daily affairs of Fengming Planet, and she appeared quite a few times. Short videos related to this also appeared on social media platforms from time to time, however, ever since the Fengming Planet Immortal stage cultivators ascended, Huang Xiaoqi basically never showed up again.
Therefore, she felt that Huang Xiaoqi should have left Fengming Planet. As for whether she ascended, she wasn’t sure.
That was why she came to seek an audience.
That was why she made that request.
But unexpectedly, she had a younger sister!
Huang Shiliu left the room.
Lu Ping looked at this ambitious person. He smiled and said, “Now, I think I can make some requests to you. First of all, I won’t give you any support and help. Second, I want the Seven Phoenixes sect to become one of the general affairs sects of Qingzhou state. If you help me, there won’t be any benefits. If you don’t help me, you will step down! You can choose for yourself!”
To be honest, Lu Ping didn’t like this woman.
She was too ambitious and was willing to give up everything to get what she wanted. From the perspective of a planet official, she was an unstable factor.
If there was a large-scale conflict on Fengming Planet, it would definitely be caused by this kind of person.
But then again, even he had to admit it, this woman had been in charge of Qingzhou state for more than two hundred years. She had the ability and skill to govern Qingzhou state. Overall, it wasn’t bad.
Lu Ping didn’t want to replace her. As for the Seven Phoenixes sect itself, although Lu Ping didn’t want the cultivators of the Seven Phoenixes sect to interfere in the management of Qingzhou state’s affairs, it was still acceptable for them to become Qingzhou state’s general affairs sect.
After all, there was a large-scale tax distribution.
Moreover, according to normal circumstances, the position of the general affairs sect of Qingzhou state needed to be responsible for the safety of Qingzhou state.
With the current strength of the Seven Phoenixes sect, it was completely possible for them to become the general affairs sect of Qingzhou state.
In terms of high-end combat strength, the Seven Phoenixes sect, which hid a large number of experts, was undoubtedly the highest among the sects of Qingzhou state.
Of course, to become the general affairs sect of Qingzhou state, this matter wasn’t something that could be entered just by slapping one’s forehead.
This was because there were a total of six executive sects of Qingzhou.
They hadn’t changed for thousands of years.
First of all, they had to have sufficiently powerful experts and strength.
The original Seven Phoenixes sect definitely didn’t meet the criteria to join, but now it was different.
Even if the middle-level experts weren’t enough, their strength was still there.
But with strength, it wasn’t enough. They still had to have sufficient influence, because if one wanted to become an executive sect, they had to have a referral.
According to the rules, a referral had to be a high-ranking official of the state, and the high-ranking officials of the state were actually controlled by the major sects of the state.
In other words, one had to have the approval of one of the original six sects in order to obtain the referral authority!
As for the referral, it was still not enough.
Once the referral was successful, there would still be a referendum. All the cultivators of the state had to vote for it to pass at least 65% before they had a chance to enter the next round.
And the last round would be the challenge segment.
They would choose a sect to challenge!
In the challenge, it would be a fight to the death.
The best of five matches would not allow one person to appear many times.
In fact, Lu Ping had hesitated before whether or not he should fight for a spot for the Seven Phoenixes sect right now.
But since Zheng Qianye had come to him, he might as well take one.
Zheng Qianye’s mouth fell open when she heard Lu Ping’s words.
Wasn’t this a huge loss?
These words were really overbearing. There was no benefit in helping him. If she didn’t help him, she would be replaced!
Originally, Zheng Qianye thought that Lu Ping was just a lucky brat.
Therefore, although Lu Ping’s cultivation base was high, she really didn’t put Lu Ping in her eyes.
Just like the other high-level cultivators, in their eyes, Lu Ping had so many cultivation techniques. With this kind of cultivation base, he established the Seven Phoenixes sect and allowed it to recruit a large number of disciples, growing stronger and stronger.
In essence, it had little to do with Lu Ping.
In their eyes, Lu Ping was just a lucky asshole who had fallen in love with a phoenix!
Therefore, before Zheng Qianye came, she felt that even if Lu Ping’s cultivation was very high, he was still just a young boy who was not even thirty years old.
She deliberately lowered herself and described the future, seducing him with benefits and beauty. There was a high chance that Lu Ping would agree.
But unexpectedly, not only did Lu Ping not agree, he even threatened her with a backhand.
This was uncomfortable.
Looking at Lu Ping in front of her, she felt for the first time that perhaps she had underestimated this man in front of her.
The Lu Ping that she wanted to use did not seem to be that simple.
He only needed one sentence to make her have no choice but to agree to him, but she got nothing.
After a moment of silence, Zheng Qianye said, “I can only help you with the nomination! I can’t do anything else.”
In her original plan, after the nomination, she would use her influence to help the Seven Phoenixes sect canvass votes among the people of Qingzhou.
As for the final challenge, Lu Ping would definitely win the Seven Phoenixes sect.
In a certain sect, with her people, she could cheat a loss. Then, she would help Lu Ping arrange a Tribulation stage expert, which was highly possible for her to win.
Originally, there were only some experts at the Fusion stage in the forces that she cultivated. When all the Immortal stage experts were present, these people were nothing. However, after all the Immortal stage experts had ascended, the status of these people became extremely important.
They would be able to play a much greater role than before.
However, that was because the two of them were working together. Lu Ping had promised to give her sufficient support. That was why she would do this. However, she would not arrange a follow-up for Lu Ping under Lu Ping’s coercion.
Of course, she would not tell Lu Ping the truth either.
She would only say that she was powerless.
It was better to do less.
Lu Ping smiled lightly. He could naturally tell that this woman was not sincere.
However, he really did not need this woman’s help in other matters.
He had his own ways.
“Then I’ll have to trouble Commander Zheng.”
“Goodbye!”
Zheng Qianye intended to leave. She was not willing to stay any longer.
“Wait!” Lu Ping called out to Zheng Qianye.
Zheng Qianye turned her head and looked at Lu Ping warily. She said in a deep voice, “Sect Master Lu, what else do you want?”
“I have something I want Commander Zheng to hear,” Lu Ping said with a serious expression. “We cultivators pursue the path of immortality, but most of us can’t transcend it. They have to rely on Commander Zheng’s control. The cultivators of Qingzhou state are even your people to a certain extent. I hope you will think more about them. The commander of a region is already above tens of thousands of people. Why do you need to pursue higher power for the sake of ambition? To say the least, Fengming Planet is now under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. Even if you go all out to fight for it, there’s no telling when the Heavenly Court will make a move, and it’ll be a futile effort.”
After listening to Lu Ping’s words, Zheng Qianye looked at him for a moment.
She said, “Sect Master Lu, everyone has their own things to pursue, just like many businessmen. They may have more money than they can spend in ten lifetimes, but they are still desperately accumulating wealth. Is it because of how much money they have? Not necessarily. Through the accumulation of wealth, we can obtain a great sense of achievement and satisfaction. Through the growth of our careers, we can realize the value of our lives.”
At this point, Zheng Qianye revealed some of her true feelings. “Ever since humans only had a few decades of life, people have been thinking about what the meaning of life is. It’s the same for us cultivators. Is the meaning of life to pursue the Ethereal Heavenly Dao and eventually perish? The life I want is not like this. Is there anything wrong with this?”
She smiled and continued, “Perhaps it will be a futile effort in the end, or perhaps it will be a dead end. But I feel that this is the process that I want! The result is very important, but the process is equally important! Perhaps I can not completely control my life, but I will try my best to do what I want to do, even if it is wrong!”
