Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 137 Treat others with sincerity, treat yourself with sincerity

"Xiao Dan, now you've experienced how formidable your Senior Brother Zhao Zhen is, haven't you?"

Behind Zhuge Dan, Zuo Ruotong smiled and slowly stepped forward.

"I've learned my lesson. Now I finally understand why someone as strong as Senior Brother Lu was defeated by Senior Brother Zhao Zhen twice in a row."

"You brat, your master is talking to you, why did you drag me into this too!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin glared fiercely at Zhuge Dan.

"hey-hey!"

Zhuge Dan chuckled, not taking his loss to Zhao Zhen seriously.

After all, no matter what, the opponent was the famous "Golden Thunder King", a formidable figure who was able to operate in the Japanese territory for so long and even manage to escape unscathed in the end!
Moreover, even Senior Brother Lu, who had cultivated to the second level of the Reverse Life Triple Realm, was no match for him. How could I, with only the first level, possibly defeat him?
In a friendly spar, winning or losing is secondary. Being able to witness the legendary Golden Escape Flowing Light today makes the trip worthwhile.

Zuo Ruotong smiled slightly and glanced at all the disciples present.

"The world is about to undergo a major change, and even our Sanyi Sect will certainly not be able to stay out of it."

As your teacher, I don't expect you to be exceptionally outstanding, but at least one thing is certain: I hope that all members of our Trinity Sect can safely weather this upcoming calamity.

"Yes, master!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Sanyi Sect all solemnly clasped their fists in greeting to Zuo Ruotong.

"Ah."

Zuo Ruotong nodded. Just as he was about to tell his disciples to continue their cultivation, Chengzhen, who had been down the mountain for several days, finally returned outside the mountain gate.

"master."

The moment Zuo Ruotong saw Chengzhen, a barely perceptible glint flashed in her eyes.

After glancing discreetly at Yunze beside her, Zuo Ruotong waved to Chengzhen.

Chengzhen instantly understood what Zuo Ruotong meant, so she immediately stepped forward and whispered in Zuo Ruotong's ear.

A moment later, a smile gradually appeared on Zuo Ruotong's lips.

"Really? I understand. Thank you for making this trip."

"Of course, Master."

Chengzhen shook his head, then gave Yunze a meaningful look.

After witnessing this scene, Zhao Zhen, though he didn't hear what the master and disciple were saying, had already guessed pretty much what was going on.

It seems that Zuo Ruotong sent Chengzhen down the mountain to investigate the real Yunsheng and Yunze who were kidnapped by Wugensheng and Li Muxuan.

Judging from Chengzhen's appearance, she must have confirmed that the two children were not in any danger, which is why she rushed back to the mountain to report to Zuo Ruotong.

Even though Zuo Ruotong had already learned about Wugensheng and Li Muxuan's plans from Zhao Zhen, the reason she hadn't taken any action was because she was worried about the safety of the two children.

Now that it has been confirmed that the children are unharmed, it's likely that Zuo Ruotong will no longer pretend to be ignorant.

Sure enough, just as Zhao Zhen was pondering to himself, Zuo Ruotong instructed Lu Jin beside her, "Jin'er, go and bring Yunsheng and Yunze over."

"Yes, master."

A moment later, Li Muxuan and Wugensheng were brought before Zuo Ruotong.

"master."

Unaware that they had already been exposed, the two brothers were still trying their best to play the role of disciples.

"Yunsheng, Yunze, how long have you two brothers been on the mountain?"

"Including today, it should be exactly fifteen days," Li Muxuan said respectfully, clasping his hands in return.

"It's been fifteen days already..."

Zuo Ruotong sighed, then continued, "How have you been these past few days on the mountain? Have you gotten along well with your senior brothers?" "I've gotten along well, and my senior brothers have taken good care of us."

"According to the rules of my Trinity Sect, judging by the time, it is time for you to officially hold your initiation ceremony."

But before that, I want to tell you a story.

Many years ago, my master also met a child who was very talented, and I did have the idea of ​​taking him on as a student.

But the child was unruly and, after a series of events, he finally angered me, and in a moment of weakness, he led me down the wrong path.

After that, he also came to my Sanyi Mountain Gate with your senior brother Zhao Zhen. At that time, I gave them both a piece of advice.

Zhao Zhen, do you still remember me?

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her face.

"How could I, a junior, forget the invaluable words of Master Zuo?"
The words you gave us that day were two of the three laws of the Trinity.

One should act with utmost sincerity and be cautious in all matters, and must not act deceitfully or with a confused mind.

When acting according to the circumstances, if one loses composure and becomes confused, one will not be able to act effectively in the face of adversity.

Over the years, I have kept in mind your teachings, Master Zuo, and have never forgotten these two principles.

"Ah."

Zuo Ruotong nodded, her eyes filled with satisfaction as she looked at Zhao Zhen.

"Actually, when the two of them went up the mountain, Zhao Zhen and that child were in similar situations. They both became disciples of the Quanxing demon."

But after all these years, their situations are now completely opposite.

One fought against foreign enemies, enhanced my country's prestige, and protected China's territory, making a name for himself in the entire world of supernatural beings. But the other ultimately chose to join the Quanxing Sect, making a fatal mistake.

Tell me, why do two people who should have started from the same point end up on such drastically different paths?

Li Muxuan gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

"Yunsheng, what do you say?"

Li Muxuan was startled and raised his head when Zuo Ruotong pointed at him.

“Master, everyone has their own path to take. Whether it’s good or bad, difficult or easy, only they know. No one else has the right to ask, right?”

"Yunsheng! How dare you speak to your master like that?!"

Lu Jin frowned and shouted.

"It doesn't matter."

Zuo Ruotong raised her hand to stop Lu Jin, not angry at Li Muxuan's outburst, but instead continued to speak calmly:

Indeed, only he himself knows whether the road beneath his feet is good or bad, easy or difficult to walk.

Walking is like drinking water; only you know whether it's hot or cold. What's scary is knowing one thing in your heart but ultimately showing something else entirely—you're deceiving yourself.

I always tell my disciples that the most important thing in being a good person is sincerity—not only in treating others with sincerity, but also in treating oneself with sincerity.

Li Muxuan didn't speak, but slowly lowered his head.

"Master Zuo, if you were to see that child again after so many years, what would you like to say to him?"

"I've told him everything I needed to say. If I see him again, I'll give him four words: 'Take care of yourself...'"

After saying that, Zuo Ruotong slowly closed her eyes, as if bidding farewell to the last bit of guilt she felt towards Li Muxuan.

"Take care of yourself... Hahaha, well said, 'Take care of yourself'!"

Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan suddenly burst into laughter, and then, to everyone's astonishment, tore something apart, reverting to his original form!
