Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 159 The Dangerous Beautiful Snake
After taking Zhao Zhen to the arranged accommodation, Yang Lie and Dong Chang left first.

As for Xu Xin, he stayed for some reason, and for a long time he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

Inside the courtyard, Zhao Zhen sat on a stone bench, glancing with interest at Xu Xin, who stood in the courtyard like a door god.

"Your two senior brothers have both left. Aren't you planning to go back and rest?"

"The gatekeeper said that the three of us will take turns protecting your safety."

"You? Protect me?"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

They call it protection, but isn't their real purpose probably surveillance?

As expected of the Tang Clan, they have the word "cautious" ingrained in their very bones...

"What's wrong? Do you think I'm not strong enough to protect you?"

Xu Xinyan couldn't help but frown.

"No, no, no, Brother Xu, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that."

"But I'm used to being hunted down all the time. If you're here and a fight breaks out, I'll actually have to pay attention to what's going on with you."

"Don't worry about me. Since the sect leader's order to me is to protect you, it's worth it even if it costs me my life."

"Tsk, he really is stubborn."

Zhao Zhen raised an eyebrow, realizing that he probably couldn't persuade Xu Xin, so he simply changed the subject.

"Brother Xu Xin, you should know Wugensheng, right?"

Upon hearing the name Wugensheng, Xu Xin's previously expressionless face suddenly changed.

"what do you mean?"

"It's nothing, just asking casually."

Zhao Zhen shook his head with a half-smile.

But his appearance only intensified Xu Xin's fear.

He had never told anyone about his acquaintance with Dong Chang and Wu Gengsheng, since Wu Gengsheng was, after all, the leader of Quanxing Sect.

Even though the Tang Sect has a special stance, its attitude towards the Quanxing Sect has always been no different from that of the righteous sects.

If the other members of the Tang Clan find out that the two of them have a relationship with the leader of the Quanxing Sect, they will definitely be punished according to the sect rules!

Thinking of this, Xu Xin's gaze towards Zhao Zhen gradually changed.

"Are you very familiar with Wugensheng?"

“I know him. I just saw him at Sanyi Gate a while ago.”

"So, the Sanyi Sect incident was really caused by Wugensheng?"

"Ah."

"This bastard..."

"You can't blame him for this, after all, he only gave Sanyi Gate a push."

"Pushed the 31st goalkeeper? What does that mean?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Xu Xin's eyes.

"literal meaning."

After saying that, Zhao Zhen closed his eyes and said no more.

But he suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence, leaving Xu Xin feeling like a kitten was scratching at his heart.

"No, why do you always only say half of what you mean?"

"Isn't the rule of your Tang Clan always that you shouldn't ask questions you shouldn't ask? Why are you asking so many questions here? Although I don't know if the Tang Clan leader has told you this, I should be considered your employer now, right?"

Is this how the Tang Clan teaches you to treat your employer?

After a barrage of questions, Xu Xin couldn't help but bulge the veins on his forehead.

He swore that if the sect leader hadn't ordered him to protect this person, he would have killed him without hesitation!
Just wait, I'll let you taste my special croton oil in a bit!
Just imagining Zhao Zhen frantically running to the toilet later, Xu Xin couldn't help but smile smugly.

Just as Xu Xin was about to put his idea into action, several familiar figures suddenly entered his field of vision.

"Uncle Gao, Aunt Lu, what brings you here?"

"Xiao Xu, are you in charge of protecting the employer today?"

The person speaking was the woman Xu Xin referred to as Aunt Lu.

The woman looked to be around thirty years old, with a beautiful face and an allure that was unique to mature women.

"Um, Aunt Lu, is there something you need from him?"

"I'm fine. I just wanted to see the legendary Golden Thunder Lord and come with your Uncle Gao."

The conversation among the group also caught Zhao Zhen's attention. Among them, the man with a thin face and a full head of white hair made Zhao Zhen take a closer look.

"Zhao Zhen, let me introduce you. These are all my Tang Clan seniors."

"Lu Huizhong".

The woman stepped forward and introduced herself, while her eyes lingered on Zhao Zhen's body with great interest.

For a moment, Zhao Zhen felt as if she were being targeted by a dangerous, beautiful snake.

Beautiful but deadly—that was Zhao Zhen's first impression of the woman named Lu Huizhong.

"Gao Yingcai."

The white-haired man also introduced himself, but the next moment, before Zhao Zhen could reply, Gao Yingcai knelt down on both knees in front of Zhao Zhen.

This sudden scene stunned Zhao Zhen, and even Xu Xin, who was standing next to him, opened his mouth wide.

Am I seeing things? This is Uncle Gao!

He is a top expert in the Tang Clan, and is known as the master of assassins!

He is proficient in various Tang Clan assassination techniques, including illusionary barriers, object manipulation, concealed lines, and bamboo leaf green, and also possesses rich combat awareness and experience.

Yet this man, who had never shown any emotional fluctuations in my memory, knelt down in front of Zhao Zhen without saying a word as soon as they met!
"Senior Gao, what are you doing?"

Zhao Zhen stepped forward, trying to help Gao Yingcai, who was kneeling on the ground, to his feet.

"White Owl, Liang Ting."

The moment Gao Yingcai uttered that name, Zhao Zhen and Xu Xin instantly understood why he had done it.

Gao Yingcai's daughter, Xiaomei, was driven to insanity by Liang Ting's torment. From then on, avenging his daughter became Gao Yingcai's only belief as a "tool of the mission".

However, due to the strict rules of the Tang Clan and the powerful mastery of Liang Ting's talismans and mechanisms, Gao Yingcai has been unable to take revenge all these years.

Although Liang Ting died at the hands of Zuo Ruotong in the Battle of Qinling, in the final analysis, his death was actually orchestrated by Zhao Zhen.

Therefore, Gao Yingcai was naturally filled with gratitude towards Zhao Zhen, which is why he immediately knelt down to thank Zhao Zhen upon arriving.

At this moment, Gao Yingcai is not the "master assassin" of the Tang Clan, but simply a father.

"Senior Gao, please get up first. Can we talk about this after we get up?"

Gao Yingcai did not reply, but silently stood up from the ground.

"Thank you, Zhao Zhen, for killing that damned beast for my daughter Xiaomei!"

Even though Liang Ting had been dead for a long time, Gao Yingcai's eyes were still filled with murderous intent when Liang Ting's name was mentioned.
