Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 193 Mom, I saw a deity again!

Duanmu Ying turned her head and saw Zhao Zhen looking at her with a smile on his face behind her.

"Senior Brother Zhao? It's you?!"

Although many years had passed, Duanmu Ying recognized Zhao Zhen at a glance.

There's no other reason than that Zhao Zhen's appearance has hardly changed over the years.

"Why can't it be me?"

Zhao Zhen chuckled and then sat down next to Duanmu Ying without any hesitation.

"Oh no, I can't call you Senior Brother Zhao anymore, I should call you Chairman Zhao."

"Come, Chairman Zhao, it's my honor to treat you to steamed buns!"

While chatting and laughing, Duanmu Ying pushed the last bun in the wooden cage in front of Zhao Zhen.

"Miss Duanmu, please stop teasing me. What do you mean by Chairman Zhao?"

If it weren't for you during the Battle of Tianming Mountain, I would probably be a skeleton in a grave by now.

Zhao Zhen smiled and shook her head, but she didn't refuse Duanmu Ying's steamed buns. Instead, she grabbed one and started eating it.

"Oh, Senior Brother Zhao, you flatter us. As doctors, saving lives is our duty."

Besides, the reason I went to Tianming Mountain back then was to see if there was anything I could do to help.

It's an honor for me to be able to contribute to the fight against the Japanese invaders!

Zhao Zhen smiled but didn't say anything more about the topic.

"I heard that Miss Duanmu has been active on the front lines of the War of Resistance against Japan in recent years. Why has she suddenly come to Xi'an?"

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Ying was slightly taken aback, and even paused in her act of eating the steamed bun.

"Oh, there's a patient here who urgently needs my treatment, so I rushed here."

Of course, she dared not tell Zhao Zhenzhi that she had been invited by Wugensheng to attend his party.

After all, Wugensheng is the leader of Quanxing Sect. It's fine to be on good terms with him in private, but anyone with a brain wouldn't go around telling others about this.

"I see……"

Zhao Zhen nodded, then stuffed the last bite of the bun into her mouth.

Just as Duanmu Ying was secretly rejoicing at having escaped a calamity, Zhao Zhen then leisurely spoke up:

"I wonder if the patient Miss Duanmu mentioned is named Wugensheng?"

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Ying froze on the spot, even choking on the steamed bun in her mouth.

"Cough cough!!!"

After taking the water bottle from Zhao Zhen and gulping down several mouthfuls of water, Duanmu Ying looked at Zhao Zhen, who remained calm, with a face full of astonishment.

"Senior Brother Zhao, you..."

Zhao Zhen wiped the chili peppers from her mouth and then slowly stood up.

"Miss Duanmu, this is not the place to talk. Please come with me."

After saying that, Zhao Zhen placed his hand on Duanmu Ying's shoulder.

Before Duanmu Ying could react, a golden light flashed, and the two figures disappeared into the steamed bun shop again.

"Damn it, I saw a ghost again in broad daylight!"

"Mom, I saw a fairy again!"

"Thief! This kid ate the steamed buns without paying!"

……

Suburbs of Xi'an.

As the golden light shone, Duanmu Ying and Zhao Zhen suddenly appeared in the wilderness.

"Where am I? What do you want?!"

The moment she realized her predicament, a hint of wariness flashed in Duanmu Ying's eyes.

"Miss Duanmu, please don't misunderstand, I had no intention of hurting you."

Zhao Zhen smiled and shrugged, indicating that he had no hostility.

"I just wanted to find a quiet place to talk to you, Miss Duanmu."

"A secluded place...to talk? I'm warning you, I'm married, a married woman!!!" No wonder she studied abroad; even her way of picking out the important points is so unique...

Zhao Zhen smirked, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

So what if you studied abroad? My knowledge is decades ahead of yours, okay?

So what if she's a married woman? Don't they know that everyone in our generation had the looks of a prime minister?

Cough cough, it seems we've gone a bit off-topic.

Zhao Zhen shook his head and got back to the main topic.

"Miss Duanmu, don't worry, I have no other intentions, I just want to talk to you."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Ying gradually lowered her guard.

Come to think of it, how could Jin Xiaolei, the chairman of Nadutong with an excellent reputation in the industry, possibly do such a thing to himself?

Besides, even if Zhao really wanted to do something to me, with my small arms and legs, how could I possibly be a match for him?
"Alright, Senior Brother Zhao, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Talking about rootlessness."

"Oh, by the way! How did you know I came back this time to find Wugensheng?"

Duanmu Ying suddenly realized what was happening.

"Xiao Zhan knows half of what's happening in this circle, but the other half belongs to us, All-Knowing."

And as far as I know, you're not the only one invited, Miss Duanmu; there are thirty-four other people as well.

Thirty-four people?!

Duanmu Ying was slightly taken aback; clearly, she hadn't expected Wugensheng to call so many people at once.

"So, you came here to stop me from going to the banquet?"

"No, that's not what I meant. I don't like it when I impose my own moral standards on others."

Zhao Zhen slowly shook his head.

"Then what is this, Senior Brother Zhao...?"

"Miss Duanmu, how about we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"I bet you'll get yourself into huge trouble on this trip."

"A huge problem?"

Duanmu Ying frowned and looked at Zhao Zhen with some suspicion.

"What do you mean?"

"You will understand when the time comes, Miss Duanmu, but until then, please keep this a secret for me."

What happened today is known only to the two of us.

After saying that, Zhao Zhen gently patted Duanmu Ying's shoulder again and used the Golden Escape Stream Light to send her back.

Inside the steamed bun shop, the owner, who had been cursing and swearing, froze in place when he saw Duanmu Ying suddenly appear in front of him.

The two stared at each other, neither daring to speak for a moment.

"My lord, I was just saying that offhand, and you actually took it seriously... Can't I just forget about the money for the steamed buns?"

Duanmu Ying: "..."

……

On the wasteland, Zhao Zhen sighed deeply after seeing Duanmu Ying off.

"If you want to save this girl, why don't you just stop her from going to the banquet?"

The sudden sound startled Zhao Zhen, but a look of surprise quickly appeared on his face.

"Little fox, you're awake?"

"Hmm, this sleep was quite comfortable."

A wisp of white smoke emanated from Zhao Zhen's body, eventually coalescing into a pure white fox spirit in front of him.

"You're quite leisurely, sleeping for almost ten years!"

"So what? Wasn't it all to save you? You lost so much energy, you need to get some sleep and replenish it, right?"
