THE SUPREME MARTIAL KING SHOCKING ALL REALMS

Zhou Qing’s words left Yang Chen puzzled about his intentions.
What exactly does Zhou Qing want to do?
Yang Chen was full of caution and said, “Vice Sect Master Zhou is joking. I don’t have any special abilities. It’s just that the assassin seemed to have a faulty brain, so I managed to seize the opportunity. If I were to face a more powerful assassin, I’m afraid there wouldn’t be a way out.”
Zhou Qing was also a smart man, and he wouldn’t fail to notice the caution in Yang Chen’s words. He said, “Master Yang, may I speak with you in private?”
Yang Chen hesitated for a moment and went into deep thought.
After considering all the possibilities, he didn’t refuse Zhou Qing. After all, everyone had some concerns about the Great Emperor, and no one would dare to stake their own life on it.
With that in mind, the other party’s intentions became worth pondering.
Yang Chen, out of curiosity, said, “I would be grateful. Please, come in!”
Zhou Qing had no words on the surface, but in his heart, he secretly nodded and praised Yang Chen’s boldness. He originally thought Yang Chen wouldn’t have the courage to let him in, but it turned out that he had underestimated Yang Chen.
The two entered the room together, and Zhou Qing sat down with great composure.
Yang Chen sat down as well and locked eyes with Zhou Qing.
“Vice Sect Master Zhou, just tell me what you want to say. Now it’s just the two of us, and there’s no need to hide anything. You went back and forth like this to cover your tracks and not let Fu Yunhe find out, right? You must have a purpose in doing so,” Yang Chen said straightforwardly.
Seeing Yang Chen’s straightforwardness, Zhou Qing wouldn’t keep holding back. He said, “Master Yang is right. The reason why I came back here today is to tell you that the assassin wasn’t sent by me!”
Yang Chen found it quite interesting.
Zhou Qing went back and forth just to say this? What was his purpose?
Yang Chen didn’t rush to make a conclusion, “Why should I believe you?”
“Master Yang should be able to judge right from wrong. Whether it’s me or not, I think you have the ability to confirm it yourself!” Zhou Qing said.
Yang Chen’s impression of Zhou Qing improved a little. At least Zhou Qing had a clear train of thought, and he was a smart and talented person.
Luosheng Gate was not just composed of the Young Nobles.
Yang Chen raised the corner of his mouth, “How can Vice Sect Master Zhou be so sure that I can judge the right from wrong?”
“At first, I didn’t think you had this ability, but when I saw the assassin being subdued by Master Yang, my thoughts changed. Master Yang is no ordinary person!” Zhou Qing said candidly.
“So, just because you’ve determined that I’m not an ordinary person, you want to come and clarify that the assassin was not sent by you? Vice Sect Master Zhou, I don’t see the point in that. Even if you didn’t send an assassin to kill me today, who can say you won’t tomorrow?” Yang Chen’s tone suddenly turned sharp.
Zhou Qing saw the situation and nodded approvingly. He then said, “That’s why I came here today, to tell you my intentions and make a deal with you!”
“Tell me, what are your intentions, Vice Sect Master Zhou?” Yang Chen said.
In a strange environment, he was more likely to trust the bonds built on mutual interests. Trust could be built only when both parties were bound by each other’s interests.
Zhou Qing had clearly already thought through his intentions. He calmly said, “As Master Yang sees, the current state of Luosheng Gate is fragmented. Most of the people are unified under Fu Yunhe, and they spend their days gaming and indulging themselves. Although they are a motley crowd, it is not easy for Master Yang to deal with them. After all, Fu Yunhe’s rise to power is no accident. Master Yang, if you want to truly take control of Luosheng Gate, you alone won’t be enough!”
“So, how can you be so sure that I want to take control of Luosheng Gate? What if I don’t control it?” Yang Chen smiled.
Zhou Qing paused and hadn’t considered these points. However, after careful consideration, he said firmly, “Master Yang, you will take control of Luosheng Gate. If you don’t, you probably wouldn’t have let me in.”
“Vice Sect Master Zhou is indeed a smart man. You’re right. I don’t have the power to control Luosheng Gate on my own!” Yang Chen said bluntly.
“That’s why you need my help. In Luosheng Gate, only I have the strength to counterbalance Fu Yunhe! Although my forces are smaller in number, those under me are utterly loyal. If it comes down to a fight, it’s hard to say who would win!” Zhou Qing said with great confidence.
Yang Chen stroked his chin thoughtfully, “Vice Sect Master Zhou, to be honest, I don’t think you would be so helpful without any schemes. You could have become a king on your own!”
“I could have done that, but I have never found a reason to take the risk and confront Fu Yunhe. Now I have one!” Zhou Qing said.
“The reason is me?” Yang Chen asked.
“Exactly!” Zhou Qing answered crisply. “Master Yang, if I help you, I don’t ask for much. I just hope you can recommend me to Emperor Bai Wei so that I have a chance to work for the Bai Family in the future!”
“Oh?” Yang Chen narrowed his eyes, not expecting Zhou Qing’s objective to be this.
Zhou Qing, fearing Yang Chen’s refusal, revealed his eagerness. He said solemnly, “My ancestors were the ones who followed Emperor Bai Wei to create Luosheng Gate. I grew up within its walls, wanting to reform it. But as Luosheng Gate spiraled downwards, saving it became less and less feasible. I, Zhou Qing, am gifted and talented. How can I content myself with a mediocre life in this environment?”
“You think the Bai Family is your stage?” Yang Chen asked curiously.
“Yes!” Zhou Qing affirmed.
“Then you need to think it over carefully. One, the Bai Family is not as good as you think. Two, my recommendation may not necessarily be successful. For those Emperor-Level strong individuals, it’s very difficult for them to accept someone under their command,” Yang Chen said.
Hearing Yang Chen say this, Zhou Qing laughed.
His laughter was very bright, “Master Yang, if you hadn’t said these things, I would have had some concerns. But now that you’ve laid your cards on the table, I don’t have any worries. I have been prepared for a long time, and this is the closest I’ve ever come to the Bai Family and the Great Emperor. If I miss this opportunity, I’m afraid there won’t be a second chance!”
Why did he want to see Yang Chen’s true strength in the first place? He wanted to see what kind of status Yang Chen had in the hands of those Emperor-Level strong individuals.
From what he could see now, Yang Chen’s status wouldn’t be bad.
With him recommending, Zhou Qing would certainly have a chance!
A chance, for him, was enough!
As for Yang Chen, after seeing the sincerity in Zhou Qing’s eyes, he fell deep into thought!
