Therefore, she was still very satisfied.

“This time, Lu can be said to have made a great contribution. I don’t have many things here. I only have a few medicinal pills that I refined myself. Lu, don’t mind them.”

Yun Xiao had also learned to be smart now.

She didn’t care about sentiment anymore and directly gave the benefits.

Lu Ping was overjoyed. He didn’t refuse and took them.

He said with a smile, “Madam Yun Xiao, thank you.”

This could be considered an immortal pill, right? Although he didn’t know what effect it would have, since Yun Xiao had given it to him, it shouldn’t be too bad.

Yun Xiao pondered for a moment, then, she said, “What about you? Right now, you are the official of Fengming Planet. If you have any needs, you can choose some of the cultivators who have ascended from Fengming Planet to help govern Fengming Planet. In a few days, I’m also going to ask Yun Ying to set up a patrol envoy for Fengming Planet. Do you have any cultivators who don’t have good relationships with you? Tell me so that I can let her bring them along.”

Lu Ping was speechless.

Lu Ping rolled his eyes and said with a smile, “I really don’t have any enmity with these guys. I’ve always been reluctant to cause trouble, but to be honest, I do have some enmity with the Purple-Eyed Mad Lion clan. Many people know about this.”

Lu Ping didn’t say who it was, but Yun Xiao also asked.

In fact, after these people went to the Heavenly Court, Yun Xiao also found some people to ask about Lu Ping’s situation.

After all, she didn’t know much about Lu Ping.

Lu Ping also guessed that she would do this.

Lu Ping didn’t say who the specific person was.

Once Zi Hui was selected, it meant that he had a spy in the patrol inspector.

In the end, this was also a restriction on him. Although from the current situation, as long as nothing major happened to Fengming Planet, there would not be any problems. However, what could he say after that?

Yun Xiao looked at Lu Ping and asked, “Lu, do you have a cultivation partner now?”

“Yes,” Lu Ping answered truthfully.

Yun Xiao asked again, “But why didn’t I see your cultivation partner when I ascended this time?”

Her eyes were full of smiles.

Lu Ping shook his head and said, “She has something to do at home and has left Fengming Planet. I don’t know when she will come back.”

“I see. If you have time, come and see me together. I’m very curious about what kind of woman your cultivation partner is,” Yun Xiao said as if she was joking.

Lu Ping didn’t know what she meant and could only laugh.

Anyway, he had found an excuse to cover it up.

Moreover, Lu Ping had left some leeway.

He didn’t know when he would come back. In other words, he could come back at any time.

If he was really found out by then, he could have an excuse to say it.

As for choosing to help manage the planet, Lu Ping really didn’t plan to choose the human side.

To put it bluntly, everything was stable on Fengming Planet at the moment. At the very least, the human race’s side was like this. Moreover, there were still Feng Jiu and Huang Xiaoqi ‘s forces. Even if something really happened, he would still be able to stabilize it.

But for the demon race, Lu Ping still needed people.

He thought about it for a moment, then he opened his mouth and said, “Madam Yun Xiao, just now you said that you would choose the person to manage the planet. I’m fine with the human race’s side. I can handle it myself. But for the demon race’s side, I want to choose people to help me.”

“Who?”

“Zi Baishan and Bai Xiangxiang!”

That’s right. Bai Xiangxiang had ascended to heaven this time.

Lu Ping had his own ideas for choosing these two people.

He needed someone who had a relatively strong voice in the demon race. He also needed a leader of a large demon race, so Zi Baishan was very suitable.

Why him? In Lu Ping’s opinion, Zi Baishan was not very smart. Moreover, he had suffered a loss in his hands, so it was easier to control him.

As for Bai Xiangxiang, after a few encounters, Lu Ping felt that she was more sensible. This female fox could be used as a chess piece to monitor the movements of the demon race and restrain Zi Baishan.

Yun Xiao raised her eyebrows and smiled. “I remember that you said that the Purple-Eyed Mad Lion clan is not on good terms with you. Why did you choose Zi Baishan again? As far as I know, he is the leader of the Purple-Eyed Mad Lion clan, right?”

Lu Ping smiled and said, “Although he is not on good terms with me and has some enmity with me, I need the position of the Purple-Eyed Mad Lion clan in the demon race of Fengming Planet, so I really could only choose him. The main thing is that I have come into contact with this guy before. Although he is on a different side from me, I still admire him very much. I think that as long as he can let go of his prejudice over time, he should be a very capable assistant.”

Yes, the praise was very heartfelt.

Yun Xiao pondered for a moment, but still agreed.

Seeing that there was nothing else, Lu Ping stood up and took his leave.

When he left, Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao came out.

Bi Xiao asked curiously, “Sis, do you believe what he said?”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s that cultivation partner of his!”

Yun Xiao smiled and said, “Of course… I don’t believe it.”

“Ah? Then why didn’t you expose him?” Qiong Xiao was also quite curious.

Yun Xiao sighed and said, “That kid has a very good relationship with Sun Wukong. If he is willing, Sun Wukong will naturally help him stop his cultivation partner from ascending. This is very easy. Alternatovely, that phoenix’s cultivation base is enough. This kind of thing isn’t difficult to do. But you must know that from the moment we entered the southeast star domain, it was this kid who gave us the idea. He was also the first to complete the publicity mission. In the short term, we still have to rely on him. This is one of the reasons. Secondly, in the entire southeast star domain, there are countless creatures who are unwilling to go to the Heavenly Court. This isn’t considered an excessive thing. It can only be said that everyone has their own aspirations. Even you and I weren’t willing to ascend to godhood back then. Lu Ping can be considered our friend. There’s no need for us to completely fall out over this small matter. Although His Majesty said that he wanted to bring the entire universe under control, in the end, this is something that can not be done. It’s fine as long as we don’t deliberately cause trouble and don’t affect the overall situation. It’s not a big deal.”

One had to say that Yun Xiao was very magnanimous.

Regarding this matter, she did not take it to heart.

Zi Baishan was cultivating when his phone pinged.

It told him to head to the place of Yun Xiao.

Bai Xiangxiang also received the news at the same time.

When the two arrived at the Immortal Island where Yun Xiao lived, they saw Lu Ping. The guide said, “The Imperial Emperor is busy with official business, so you won’t meet her. This is Fengming Planet’s official, Lu Ping. The Imperial Emperor wants you to go with him! Listen to his orders.”

When he heard this, Zi Baishan was shocked.

Bai Xiangxiang also opened her mouth in surprise.

No one expected that Lu Ping was actually the planet official of Fengming.

After being recruited by the Heavenly Court, the two of them had heard a lot of things over the past few days.

Naturally, they knew that this planet official was the manager of a planet.

Now, these thirty thousand heavenly soldiers and generals all had their own plans.

To put it bluntly, since they were here, who wouldn’t want to be the leader.

Who would you rather be, a planet official or an inspector?

Although the inspector could control the planet official from the perspective of restriction, if these people were to choose, they would all choose the planet official.

This was because the merit of the planet official was definitely not something that the inspector could compare to.

However, the current situation was that most planet officials would be taken by the cultivators of this planet.

Therefore, although they were envious, they had no other choice.

However, they really didn’t know that Lu Ping was actually a planet official of Fengming Planet.

Bai Xiangxiang was the first to react. She stepped forward and said tenderly, “Greetings, Sect Master Lu.”

Lu Ping nodded and looked at Zi Baishan. He smiled and said, “Old Zi, long time no see. I miss you very much.”

Zi Baishan said nothing.

He looked at Lu Ping and said through gritted teeth, “What do you want me to do?”

He had been tricked by Lu Ping previously, and he had never forgotten this!

During this period of time, he had been targeted by the demon race.

Lu Ping smiled and said, “Do the two of you know what a planet official does?”

“Yes,” Bai Xiangxiang answered quickly. “A planet official is the Heavenly Court’s manager of the planet.”

Lu Ping snapped his fingers, smiled and said, “That’s right. That’s right. Currently, I’m in charge of Fengming Planet. The two of you are the assistants I’ve selected. You can go back with me and be in charge of managing the demon race’s affairs on Fengming Planet. Simply put, you have to ensure the recent peace and transition of the demon race continues.”

With that, he looked at Zi Baishan and said, “Zi, are you going or not? If you don’t go, I think the Giant Stone Elephant clan, the Fire Ape clan, and other clans aren’t too bad. I’ll go and ask them again. Don’t worry, I won’t force you.”

How could he not agree?

If he didn’t go, the opponent would go. When that time came, what would happen to his clan’s descendants?

Zi Baishan gritted his teeth and said, “I will go…”
