Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 153 Though not my teacher, his kindness is like that of my father.

Watching those fifty or so "dumplings" disappear into his pot in a flash, Zhao Zhen felt a pang of regret.

Suddenly, Zuo Ruotong slowly turned her gaze to Zhao Zhen behind her.

"Zhao Zhen, I just let them go like this. Are you blaming me?"

"It's not fair to blame you. After all, these people were originally your prisoners, Master Zuo. How you decide to deal with them is your own prerogative, and I have no right to interfere."

It's still a bit of a shame to watch these guys slip away from my grasp.

"You~"

Zuo Ruotong smiled indulgently.

"If you commit too many sins at such a young age, it will not be a good thing for your future cultivation."

"When you reach the stage of 'the restless mind,' if you don't restrain it, you'll run into serious problems."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Zuo. I will pay attention to it in the future."

But in this world, most of the time, the younger generation has no choice in what they do. Even if I don't kill them today, they might not remember my kindness.

"Restraint means self-control, not pushing you from one extreme to another."

Everything in the universe has its own balance; remember, only moderation leads to longevity and endurance.

"The Doctrine of the Mean..."

Zhao Zhen was slightly taken aback, then bowed deeply to Zuo Ruotong.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Zuo. I understand now."

"Okay, let's go back to Trinity."

"Yes."

Meanwhile, outside Qingyi City.

After being freed from the bindings of the Biyuan Needle with the help of Wugensheng and others, the Quanxing disciples clasped their fists in greeting to Wugensheng.

"We are so grateful to the sect leader this time, otherwise we would probably all have died at the hands of that old Taoist Zuo."

"What's going on with this old Taoist priest? I feel like his methods are even more terrifying than before!"

The moment I engaged him in combat, I had absolutely no chance to retaliate!

"Who says otherwise? I knelt down the moment I stepped inside."

"Could it be that this old Taoist priest has really taken that legendary step?"

"You mean triple?"

"Otherwise, how could he be so skilled?"

"Isn't it rumored that once you cultivate the Reverse Life Triple Stage to the third level, you're practically on the verge of ascending to immortality?"

"As for Zuo Ruotong, apart from not having ascended to immortality, he seems no different from a deity to me. Don't you agree, Sect Leader?"

Seeing that everyone had suddenly turned the topic to him, Wugensheng shrugged.

"Who knows? But regardless of whether Zuo Ruotong has reached the third level or not, I still have a piece of advice for you: what happened today must not be spread."

"why?"

"There's no reason why. I just saved your lives from Zuo Ruotong's clutches today."

I don't expect you to repay my kindness, after all, we are Quanxing. But in exchange, I at least hope you can grant me this request.

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

"Since the sect leader has said so, what else can we say?"

"As you wish, Sect Leader."

"Don't worry, if anyone dares to spread what happened today, we'll take care of it for you without you having to lift a finger."

……

"Thank you, everyone." Wugensheng stood up and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Quanxing disciples in front of him.

"What about that bastard Zhao Zhen? Before Zuo Ruotong left, he said that if anyone laid a hand on Zhao Zhen again, he would personally come to his door..."

"Tch, I don't believe that with so many people chasing Zhao Zhen, Zuo Ruotong can kill them all one by one."

"Brother Liu, why don't you give it a try?"

"Why me? Why aren't you all going? If anyone's going, it should be everyone going!"

"I think I'll pass. I was just having some fun anyway, and it's not worth risking my life for it."

Seeing everyone retreating and blocking him, Wugensheng's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

Everyone is afraid of death, including these lawless Quanxing disciples.

Now that Zuo Ruotong is protecting him, Zhao Zhen feels like he has a gun in his hand.

Although the gun has a limited number of bullets, who would dare to gamble their life on whether Zhao Zhen's gun still has bullets left?

Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen, you actually managed to untangle this deadlock in the Sanyi Sect.

Although I don't know what methods you used, you managed to revive Zuo Ruotong, who had already contemplated suicide.

But if all of this was arranged by you all along, then I, Zuo Ruotong, Quanxing, and Sanyimen have all become pawns on your chessboard...
-
Several days later, at the Trinity Gate.

The moment Zuo Ruotong returned to the sect with Si Chong and Chengzhen, all the members of the Sanyi Sect surrounded them.

During the days that Zuo Ruotong disappeared, the entire Sanyi Sect seemed to have completely lost its backbone.

If Chengzhen hadn't confidently assured everyone before descending the mountain that his master was still in seclusion and there was nothing seriously wrong, the Sanyi Sect would probably have long since fallen apart.

"Si Chong, Cheng Zhen, I hereby sentence you two to three years of reflection in the back mountains. Do you have any objections?"

"No……"

Si Chong and Cheng Zhen slowly lowered their heads, like two children who had done something wrong.

After seeing Si Chong and Cheng Zhen off, Zuo Ruotong instructed Lu Jin beside her: "Jin'er, you did very well during the time I was away from the sect when the sect suddenly faced a major change."

"In you, I see the future hope of the Trinity Sect..."

“Master, your disciple is dull and does not deserve such praise from you.”

"Hehe, alright, go and gather all the disciples together. I have something to tell them."

"Yes, master!"

Watching Lu Jin's retreating figure, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but step forward and say:

"Master Zuo, are you really sure you want to reveal the truth about the Triple Realm to the public?"

"Originally, I was indeed a little hesitant, but after going down the mountain with you and experiencing these things, I've come to terms with it."

Just as you told me before, a fake will always be fake; it can never become real.

Whether it's a mystical sect or an ordinary sect, it's all just empty fame, ultimately just fleeting smoke.

If I knowingly deceive them, even though it's all a scam, then I would truly be unworthy of being their teacher.

"Left Gate Leader..."

Zhao Zhen looked deeply at the old man in front of him, his eyes filled with respect and admiration.

"We owe this incident to you. If it weren't for you, our Sanyi Sect would probably have been wiped out. Zhao Zhen, your kindness to Sanyi is like giving us a second life..."

"Master Zuo, you flatter me. You have helped me so much in the past, and my help now is only a small way of repaying your kindness."

"Hehe, if I had to name one of the few regrets in my life, it would be not having accepted you, Zhao Zhen, as my disciple."

"As the saying goes, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life,' but in Zhao Zhen's heart, although you are not my teacher, your kindness is like that of my father..."

"Is that so... That's fine then~"
