Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 189 Do you know what I mean?

Entering the Qinling Mountains again, Zhao Zhen was honestly quite emotional.

The familiar scenes before his eyes involuntarily reminded Zhao Zhen of the Battle of Qinling.

In that battle, the Hieiyama ninja suffered heavy losses.

Not only did the next ninja leader, Wakasa Shōbei, die tragically, but the demon sword Hirumaru was also permanently left deep in the Qinling Mountains.

When passing by the tombstone he had erected for Wakasa Shobei years ago, Zhao Zhen stopped and stood there for a long time.

"You've spent your whole life thinking about staying on this land, and now your wish has come true."

To rest in peace on this land, is that not also a form of leaving behind a legacy?

Wow~
Zhao Zhen poured out the entire pot of fine wine in front of Wakasa Sōbei's grave.

Zhao Zhen didn't actually harbor much hatred towards this former friend who was both an enemy and a friend.

Just as Wakasa Shohei said back then, if the two hadn't had different stances, they would definitely have been good friends.

It's a pity that there is no if in this world.

Sometimes, this world is full of helplessness.

Just as Zhao Zhen could not choose his teacher, Wakasa Shohei could not choose his origins.

"Brother Zhao, who is this person...?"

Behind her, Mei Jinfeng stepped forward with some curiosity and asked.

"Oh, a friend of mine. I think I killed him here with my own hands during the Battle of Qinling."

Friend? Killed by your own hands?
Two question marks appeared above Mei Jinfeng's head; she felt that the combination of these two words seemed a bit strange.

"The air intake is not far ahead. Do you know the way in?"

“I know, the sect leader took me in once.” Mei Jinfeng nodded.

"That's good. Just a reminder, you should know very well the consequences of taking the wrong step."

Upon hearing this, Mei Jinfeng shuddered.

The scene of Zhao Zhen slaughtering Quanxing and the ninjas of Mount Hiei with the demon sword Hiruma seems to be still vivid in my mind.

Even the notorious and arrogant White Owl Liang Ting died here.

"Well, I see."

After paying their respects to Wakasa Shōbei, the two continued their journey deeper into the Qinling Mountains.

On the way, Zhao Zhen made a special trip to check on the situation of the demon sword Hirumaru. He was relieved to find out that no one had taken it away.

However, leaving this knife here is still a potential problem.

Although the danger of the Qinling aura had long been known within the world of supernatural beings, ordinary supernatural beings dared not come here to provoke it.

However, it's not impossible that an ordinary person might accidentally wander into this place and, by chance, take the knife out with them.

After all, although the Qinling Mountains' energy formation was a death trap, it always takes time for fate to erase it.

In that time, an ordinary person could have taken it out of the Qinling Mountains.

In fact, Zhao Zhen could have easily led him into the secret chamber below the "What is a Man" cave, but he did not do so.

The reason is simple: this demonic sword is unworthy.

Perhaps because of fear, Mei Jinfeng walked very slowly along the way, being extremely careful for fear of making a mistake in remembering a step.

Zhao Zhen wasn't in a hurry, and simply followed behind Mei Jinfeng at a leisurely pace.

A day later, the two finally arrived outside the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valley.

"Zhang Huaiyi, it's been a long time."

Seeing Mei Jinfeng stroking the head of a big-eared monkey, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Zhang Huaiyi... Was that name given by Wugensheng? He really has a really twisted sense of humor."

"The sect leader did this simply to make it easier to remember every single monkey here!"

Mei Jinfeng retorted without hesitation.

To Mei Jinfeng, Wugensheng was like a saint, an emperor, someone no one could slander.

"Didn't he tell you who brought him here?" "It was you. The sect leader said so."

"He remembers it quite clearly."

Zhao Zhen shrugged, then ignored the monkeys who wanted to get close to him but were too afraid to approach for some reason, and walked further in on his own.

"Brother Zhao, wait for me!"

After crossing the stone bridge and passing through a maze of caves, the two finally arrived at the familiar platform deep inside the cave.

As soon as he entered, Zhao Zhen saw a familiar figure on the platform.

“Wugensheng, you really are here.”

"You came?"

Wugensheng turned his head and smiled at Zhao Zhen behind him.

Compared to their last meeting, Wugensheng was now disheveled, unshaven, and looked utterly dejected.

"Sect Leader! It really is you!!!"

Mei Jinfeng jogged forward, her eyes filled with tears of excitement.

"Jin Feng, you're here too..."

Wu Gensheng chuckled, seemingly unsurprised by Mei Jinfeng's arrival.

"You sent this letter to KT Express, right? You even made me make this special trip..."

"Tell me, what is the purpose of calling me all this way here?"

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen casually tossed the letter in his hand to Wugensheng in front of him.

The envelope spun in the air like a boomerang, eventually coming to rest precisely between Wugensheng's legs as he sat cross-legged.

Wugensheng glanced at the letter on his lap, but showed no intention of opening it.

"Jin Feng, you can go out now. There are some things I want to talk to him about alone."

"Yes, Master."

Mei Jinfeng nodded. Although she had a thousand words in her heart, Wugensheng's words were like a royal decree to her, and she immediately retreated obediently.

For a moment, only Wugensheng and Zhao Zhen remained in the cave.

"How did you know that I was the one who had this letter delivered to you?"

"Only a handful of people know about the Twenty-Four Solar Terms of Tongtian Valley. Is it that hard to guess?"

Zhao Zhen rolled her eyes, looking annoyed.

"Heh, you really can't hide anything from me..."

Wugensheng chuckled, then continued, "So, did you know all along that this day would come for me?"

Upon hearing this, the air inside the cave seemed to fall completely silent.

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Zhen spoke calmly.

"You know what I mean."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen raised an eyebrow. "You called me all this way just to play riddles with me?"
"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it. I've already delivered the letter. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Without hesitation, Zhao Zhen turned and walked towards the cave entrance.

"You already knew my name was Feng Yao, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen slowly stopped in his tracks.

"really……"

Wugensheng slowly stood up, a self-deprecating smile flashing across his face.

"When we first met, you saw through my methods in a single sentence, and the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valleys further solidified my idea."

You can foresee the future, right?
