Chen Ping smiled and said,"You must be joking, Provincial Governor."”
"Please sit, provincial governor."
Chen Ping stood up and walked to the tea table in his office. At the same time, he gestured for the governor of Qingzhou to sit down.
"Haha, thank you, Guardian Chen!" Zhu Yun smiled and sat down with Chen Ping.
"I don't come here for no reason. Provincial Governor Zhu, may I know why you've come to find me?" Chen Ping asked.”
The official system and the Hidden Dragon Guards in Qingzhou were two separate systems. Generally speaking, the officials were in charge of all kinds of complicated matters, while the Hidden Dragon Guards were only involved in the management of demons and ghosts and were responsible for handling some supernatural incidents.
There was no need for the two to be related, so the officials of Qingzhou would not take the initiative to talk to the Hidden Dragon Guards about anything.
When Zhu Yun heard this, his expression turned serious.
"Guardian Chen is indeed smart. I came to look for you this time to cooperate.”
Chen Ping revealed a surprised expression when he heard this. Looking for him to cooperate?
If it was an official matter, he could have brought a team to look for him directly. Why did he come to see him alone?
Zhu Yun couldn't help but smile when he saw Chen Ping's expression. He said,"Qingzhou is about to run for a new governor. Guardian Chen, you should know about this, right?”
Chen Ping nodded. He had known about this when he had just taken office, but this matter had nothing to do with him, so he had never paid attention to it.
"This is the reason why I'm here." Zhu Yun spoke again.”
"Oh?" Chen Ping raised his eyebrows, and the surprise in his eyes became even more obvious.
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, right?"
Zhu Yun smiled and explained.
"Guardian Chen, you might not know this, but in the past, this had nothing to do with the Hidden Dragon Guards.”
"But now that demons and ghosts are running amok, the status of the Hidden Dragon Guards in the hearts of the people has risen sharply.”
"If you want to get votes, if you're willing to help me, then this matter will basically be done.”
Chen Ping's brows twitched slightly, but his expression calmed down.
"It's not convenient for us Hidden Dragon Guards to interfere in the matters of your system.”Chen Ping's voice sounded a little cold.
The Hidden Dragon Guards had a lot of things to do. Other than Zhong Yuanfeng, there was no one else he liked who could help him deal with some things.
He hadn't even finished dealing with his own matters, so how could he interfere in other people's matters?
Zhu Yun smiled and said,"Guardian Chen, since I'm looking for you to cooperate, I naturally come with sincerity."”
Chen Ping raised his eyebrows but did not say anything. Zhu Yun continued.
"The Western Church has sent a group of Holy Knights and Priests over. According to the Sixth Elder, these people are controlled by the government.”
"If Jin Kui continues to control the government, he will definitely use these people from the Church to deal with you and balance the Hidden Dragon Guards.”
"But if I can control the government, then these people will definitely not become enemies with the Guardian.”
When Chen Ping heard this, he looked at Zhu Yun with a faint smile.
"Does Provincial Governor Zhu think that I can't deal with these westerners?”
Zhu Yun smiled. Although the strongest strength of the Western Holy Light cultivation system was equal to that of the Nine Provinces, the other party's backbone strength was far more than that of the East, and it was growing very quickly.
Zhu Yun didn't think that Chen Ping couldn't deal with the westerners, but this time, it wasn't just one, but a bunch!
Zhu Yun didn't think that Chen Ping could take down all the Westerners, but he definitely couldn't admit it now.
"Guardian Chen, don't misunderstand. Who in the entire Nine Provinces doesn't know the strength of the Guardian?”
"However, if these people from the west snatch the credit, Guardian Chen will probably gradually lose the favor of the higher-ups.
"But if I become the governor, then the westerners will definitely not cause trouble!”
"Moreover, the Holy Light system is relatively harmful to demons and ghosts. It grows faster. It might even be able to help Guardian Chen solve some problems.”
Chen Ping raised his eyebrows. This Zhu Yun was good at talking, but this reason alone was not enough to move him.
"Provincial Governor Zhu, if I didn't have these opponents, I would feel bored. These demons and ghosts are too weak.”Chen Ping said calmly.
Zhu Yun was stunned when he heard this. He frowned slightly. He did not expect Chen Ping to be so unyielding.
If it was possible, he really didn't want to look for Chen Ping.
However, if he wanted to become the governor of Qingzhou Prefecture, he had to find Chen Ping. After all, Chen Ping was the most influential person now.
Zhu Yun could not help but lower his head and think. Chen Ping picked up the teacup and drank a cup of tea, waiting quietly.
Not long after, Zhu Yun raised his head and looked at Chen Ping with a solemn expression.
"Guardian Chen, what do you want?”
Chen Ping smiled slightly, and his tone became much more indifferent.
"I want this Qingzhou. There is only one voice.”
Zhu Yun's pupils constricted when he heard this, and his face revealed a shocked expression.
There was only one voice in Qingzhou?
Didn't that mean that Chen Ping wanted him to listen to him after he ascended the throne and become the local emperor of Qingzhou?
The Elders Guild would definitely not agree!
It was impossible for the First Hall Master to allow a Guardian to control an entire state!
"Guardian Chen, are you joking?”Zhu Yun looked at Chen Ping solemnly.
Chen Ping smiled. He naturally knew what Zhu Yun was worried about.
"If you want me to help you, then you have to listen to me after you take over.”
"I'm a more casual person. I'm not interested in rebelling, nor am I interested in caring too much about others.”
"You only need to be obedient when I need you to be obedient.”
After saying that, Chen Ping did not say anything else and took another sip of tea. Not to mention controlling a state, even if he gave the Nine Provinces to him, he would have to consider whether he agreed or not.
His goal was to become a Saint, not to fight with others in this mortal world. After reaching a certain realm, he would directly leave the Nine Provinces.
On the other side, Zhu Yun's mind was in an intense struggle. The reason why he wanted to become the governor was because he did not want to be controlled by others.
Relying on Chen Ping could indeed succeed in the election and become the governor, but he would also be suppressed by Chen Ping. This was an outcome he did not want.
However, Chen Ping also said that he would not care about him normally.
As time ticked by, Zhu Yun's forehead could not help but break out in cold sweat.
Chen Ping raised his head and looked at the wall clock hanging on the wall. A faint smile appeared in his eyes as he stood up.
"If Provincial Governor Zhu can't make up his mind, why don't you ask someone else?”
"I still have official matters to deal with, so I won't keep Provincial Governor Zhu.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ping walked towards the desk.
Zhu Yun was stunned when he heard this. The struggle in his mind became even more intense. Just as Chen Ping was about to walk to his desk, Zhu Yun spoke.
"Guardian Chen, please wait."
