Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 172 A Truly Deserving "Thief"

After this conversation with Wugensheng, Zhao Zhen had a pretty good idea of ​​the guy's purpose for coming here.

They must have heard somewhere about the Tang Clan's challenge to the Hieiyama ninjas, so they decided to come and get involved.

Zhao Zhen naturally wouldn't refuse.

Although Quanxing is seen as evil by everyone, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. If Quanxing can choose to fight against foreign enemies under Wugensheng's leadership, then Zhao Zhen has no reason to refuse.

So during the ensuing dinner, Zhao Zhen and Wugensheng chatted happily, as if they were completely unaware of the tense atmosphere around them.

However, their situation caused hardship for the others who came with them.

For example, Gao Gen and Gu Jiting were sitting next to several Tang Clan assassins, and they were extremely uneasy in this situation.

In the past, when faced with this situation, there was no need to say more; one would definitely try to stay as far away as possible. After all, who in the entire world of supernatural beings doesn't know that the people of the Tang Clan are all lunatics?

But now that their own sect leader isn't leaving, and seems to be getting more and more engrossed in the conversation, can they, as his followers, just abandon Wugensheng and leave?
Time passed slowly amidst the inner turmoil of Gao Gen and Gu Jiting.

Only after seeing that the Tang Clan members finished their meal and showed no intention of attacking them did Gao Gen and Gu Jiting finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Good wine, good food, but unfortunately, there are still some shortcomings..."

Zhao Zhen wiped his mouth, stood up, and shook his head with some regret.

"What's the shortcoming? Tell me about it."

"The only downside is that the person who invited me to dinner happened to be the leader of the Quanxing Sect."

"So what if he's the leader of Quanxing Sect? In Brother Zhao Zhen's eyes, is the difference in lineage really that important?" Wugensheng narrowed his eyes.

"No, but for you Quanxing, if I disregard your identities, wouldn't you have joined for nothing?"

Upon hearing this, Wugensheng was speechless.

"Wugensheng, I think the best way for the two of us to get along is to act like strangers. What do you think?"

Wugensheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze flashing.

"Ah, I think so too."

"Thank you for treating me to dinner today. Now, let's call it even about what happened at the Trinity Gate last time?"

"Ah."

"So from now on, there's no turning back, everyone can go their own way."

You go your way, I'll go mine; perhaps we'll meet again someday.

After saying that, Zhao Zhen waved to the others traveling with him, signaling them to continue their journey.

"Are they leaving already... What a pity..."

Lu Huizhong shook her head, but still got up and followed Zhao Zhen's steps. Xu Xin and Dong Chang, who hadn't said a word from beginning to end, did the same.

"Old Zhao..."

Lu Jin opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything more.

As for Lü Ci, he simply clenched his fist, a ferocious smile appearing on his face, before turning and leaving as well.

Watching Zhao Zhen and his group gradually disappear into the distance, Gao Gen and Gu Qiting finally breathed a sigh of relief, their tense bodies relaxing once again.

"Finally left..."

Honestly, it's so outrageous that someone from the Quanxing sect would eat at the same table as someone from the Tang sect. Even if you went back and told those guys from the Quanxing sect, probably none of them would believe you.
"Sect Leader, they should also be heading to Tianming Mountain, right?" Gu Jiting asked.

"It's obvious that Zhao Zhen has never missed a lively event in the world of supernatural beings."

As he spoke, Wugensheng also took a sip of the wine in his glass on the table.

Gao Gen, whose mouth was dry from nervousness, also raised his glass and took a large gulp before speaking with lingering fear:

"The killing intent emanating from those Tang Clan members just now was absolutely genuine; they truly wanted to kill us here!" "Is that strange? After all, we're from the Quanxing Sect."

Wugensheng said with a mocking expression.

Regarding the Tang Clan's attitude towards Quanxing, Wugensheng had already learned about it from Huang Fang, the Golden Hook, many years ago.

"They are currently on a mission and don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, otherwise they probably would have already attacked us."

After saying that, Wugensheng suddenly glanced at Gao Gen with a strange expression.

"Old Gao, I forgot to tell you, the wine in your glass has actually been poisoned by the Tang Clan."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Gen was immediately shocked.

"Why? Didn't Zhao Zhen just say they wouldn't attack us?" Gu Jiting asked in surprise.

"They didn't actually attack us. The poison won't kill us, but it should give us diarrhea for a few days."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gao Gen's stomach suddenly began to rumble.

"Damn it! It must be that woman from the Tang Clan!!!"

For no reason at all, Gao Gen was convinced that Lu Huizhong was responsible for all of this!
But the truth was indeed just as he had guessed.
"Here you go, Xiao Xu, here's your medicine back."

"Huh? Sister Lu, you really logged off?" Xu Xin blinked, looking bewildered.

"Although we can't physically attack them, teaching them a lesson shouldn't be a problem, right?"

As she spoke, Lu Huizhong also turned her gaze to Zhao Zhen, who was standing to the side.

"Sister Lu, don't look at me like that. You've already passed away, what can I possibly say about you?"

Zhao Zhen said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Really? I noticed earlier that you and Wugensheng have a rather unusual relationship, Zhao Zhen~"

"There's nothing special about it, we've just met a few times."

What do you think of Wugensheng?

"I don't have any particular opinion, but if you want to survive, it's best to avoid dealing with him."

As they spoke, Zhao Zhen glanced at Xu Xin and Dong Chang, who were standing to the side.

Having known each other for a while, his reminder was more than enough.

Whether or not these two people will listen to him is not something he needs to consider.

"I really didn't realize that you, Brother Zhao Zhen, were so wary of that Wugensheng?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Huizhong glanced at Zhao Zhen with some surprise.

After spending time with Zhao Zhen, she discovered that although Zhao Zhen was polite to everyone on the surface, his arrogance was no less than anyone else's!
This is the first time Lu Huizhong has ever seen someone so directly "admit defeat" like this.

"Hehe, maybe."

Zhao Zhen shook his head and didn't say anything more, instead looking in a certain direction in the distance.

There, even though someone had tried his best to hide his whereabouts, how could he possibly escape the little fox's nose?
Is the reason why they dare not come out to meet each other because of Wugensheng?

Hehe, this big-eared thief looks tough with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he's got quite a few tricks up his sleeve.

Among the Thirty-Six Thieves, there may indeed be some like Xu Xin and Dong Chang who acted impulsively out of youthful vigor and hot-bloodedness, but Zhang Huaiyi was definitely not that kind of person.

Calling him a "thief" is truly fitting.
