Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 165 Are we going to the forbidden area in the back mountain?
Yes! He had indeed seen this face at the Lu family's birthday banquet!

However, he did not know the legendary Laughing Yama at the time, so naturally he could not recognize him.

"I was watching from the sidelines when you fought against the Celestial Master's beloved disciple that day, and from that moment I knew that your future achievements would be extraordinary."

Although at that time I was still puzzled as to why the dignified Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain and the Immortal of Daying would join forces to vouch for the disciple of a Quanxing demon.

But now it seems that the Celestial Master and the Left Sect Master's judgment was indeed far more discerning than that of us ordinary people.

"You flatter me, senior."

Zhao Zhen shook his head modestly.

The old man in front of me always had a smiling face, like a kind and gentle old man.

But Zhao Zhen knew perfectly well that it was with the same smiling expression that Ono Noriyoshi, the leader of the Hieiyama Ninja Clan, died mysteriously from Tang Jiaren's Dan Shi!
At such close range, if the other party really intended to take my life, I'm afraid I would have already been poisoned by his pill-devouring technique by now.
Fortunately, the Tang Clan is currently a friend, not an enemy, to Zhao Zhenzhen. Otherwise, if this "Laughing Yama" were to target him, Zhao Zhenzhen would be in constant fear and anxiety.

"I witnessed your battle with Li Ding just now. Such skill is beyond praise."

Tang Jiaren smiled and shook his head.

"During this period, our Tang Clan has also dispatched a group of skilled fighters, and we expect to receive news soon."

"Senior, are you referring to the assassination attempt by the Bihe Mountain ninja?"

"Ah."

Tang Jiaren nodded.

According to the Tang Clan leader's plan, in order to get the leader of the Bihe Mountain Ninja Clan to show his face, Zhao Zhen was used as bait, and on the other hand, it was also necessary to make the other party realize the danger of the Tang Clan.

Only when the Japanese are driven to a dead end should Zhao Zhen be played as the "trump card." Only then will the cautious old man, Ono Noriyoshi, have no choice but to accept the Tang Clan's demands.

"What a pity, I didn't get it in the draw..."

Lu Huizhong let out a long sigh, her face full of regret.

Lu Huizhong felt a surge of displeasure whenever she thought of her "best friend" Tang Mingyi's smug look when she drew a black card.

"Don't worry, Huizhong, this matter is of great importance, and you will be there to help."

However, protecting Zhao Zhen is also one of the Tang Sect's tasks before that.

While we gradually close the door and beat the dog, we must also guard against those little devils resorting to desperate measures.

“I understand, sir.”

In front of Tang Jiaren, Lu Huizhong showed no signs of joking around and behaved as honestly as a child.

"Alright, now that you know, stop causing trouble everywhere, especially Xiao Li. You're supposed to be a member of the Tang Clan, but you don't act like one at all. I can feel your fierce and imposing aura from a great distance!"

"I should have warned you long ago that although the Tang Clan's weapon crafting and mechanisms are indeed extraordinary, relying too much on these external tools would cause us to neglect the most fundamental aspects of the Tang Clan."

"What the master says is true..."

Upon hearing this, Li Ding lowered his head in shame.

In recent years, in order to avenge the humiliation of losing to Zhang Zhiwei, he has indeed been too eager for quick success and instant benefits, spending most of his time on mastering the Black-tailed Armor.

Looking back now, I realize that this wasn't a good thing.

Just as Zhao Zhen could easily defeat himself while wearing the Black-Tailed Armor simply by honing his own life cultivation.

External things are ultimately just external things; no matter how powerful they are, they are far less effective than mastering these most basic skills.

"Huizhong, you seem to have quite a bit of free time lately?"

"Oh? Actually, it's alright~"

Lu Huizhong chuckled, scratching her head somewhat sheepishly. "Did the sect leader assign you, Xiao Xu, to be in charge of Zhao Zhen's safety?"

“Yes, sir, the sect leader means that I, Young Master Yang, and Senior Brother Dong will take turns protecting Zhao Zhen.” Xu Xin nodded.

Having witnessed Zhao Zhen's true strength, Xu Xin no longer harbored any arrogance.

Now he finally understood why Zhao Zhen had questioned him when he heard that he was the one protecting him.

Given his strength, if he were to encounter danger, would it really make a difference whether he has his own protection or not?
"With just the three of you, I'm afraid we're still not enough manpower. How about this, Huizhong, you and Yingjie can also help keep an eye on things."

Tang Jiaren wasn't entirely oblivious to his junior brother's meaning. After all, Zhao Zhen was now within the Tang Sect, where his safety was certainly more guaranteed than outside.

Moreover, Zhao Zhen has been assassinated by the ninjas of Bihe Mountain every day for years, yet he has managed to remain unharmed, which shows that he has absolutely no problem protecting himself.

Sending younger generations like Yang Lie and Xu Xin over there, ostensibly for protection, was probably more about the idea that they were all around the same age and would get along better.
"Yes, sir!"

After making further arrangements to fill any gaps in the manpower, Tang Jiaren turned and left with his hands behind his back.

Only after Tang Jiaren's figure gradually disappeared into the distance did Lu Huizhong and her group breathe a sigh of relief.

"Phew~ That scared me to death, I never expected to alarm the master..."

Lu Huizhong spoke with lingering fear.

“Yes, I didn’t expect the master to be inside the door.” Li Ding nodded in agreement.

Clearly, not only Zhao Zhen was quite wary of this "Laughing Yama" from the Tang Clan, but the other members of the Tang Clan felt the same way.

"Fortunately, the master did not pursue the matter of you sparring with others without permission, otherwise Brother Ding would have been in big trouble."

"That's enough, I have something to do, I'm leaving now."

Having said that, without waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak, Li Ding disappeared in front of everyone in a flash.

"Should we continue shopping now?"

"You've actually seen most of the places in my Tang Clan. The only place left is the forbidden area in the back mountain. How about it, are you interested in going to take a look?"

"Sister Lu, if you want me dead, you don't have to go to all this trouble."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Really not going? Let me tell you a secret: the forbidden area contains the cultivation method for our Tang Sect's ultimate technique—Dan Shi!"

Lu Huizhong's tone was full of temptation, as if Zhao Zhen could really cultivate the Tang Sect's Dan Shi technique if he followed her.

"Thanks for the invitation, but I really want to live a few more years."

Zhao Zhen rolled her eyes, suddenly gaining a deeper understanding of Lu Huizhong's perverse sense of humor.

"The highest level of martial arts? If it's so powerful, why don't you practice it yourself?"
This girl clearly enjoys bullying others...

"cut……"

The smile on Lu Huizhong's face gradually disappeared, and she turned her head and waved to Zhao Zhen.

"It's pointless. Fine, if you don't want to go, then don't go. We'll take you back right now."

"Thank you, Sister Lu."

"Xiao Xu is leaving, going back now."

"okay!"
