Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 194 The Obsessive Rootless Life

"You didn't tell me I was going to sleep for this long. I thought you were going to kick the bucket."

"I didn't have time to tell you, did I? I'm hungry, I want roast chicken!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go buy it for you right now!"

……

An hour later.

Inside Xi'an, looking at Hu Tu still happily eating on the table, Zhao Zhen's face showed a helpless smile.

"I didn't expect that you'd become quite wealthy while I was asleep all these years~"
Waaah, finally I don't have to go hungry for three days straight like before!

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I've made you suffer because of me."

"That's for sure. Back when I was outside the Great Wall, those brats from the Gao family would serve me chicken legs every day, and I'd eat one and throw the other away."

But ever since I started following you, I have to lick these chicken bones twice before chewing them up and swallowing them!

Hu Tu rolled his eyes, looking annoyed.

"You're supposed to be a dignified immortal, at least pay a little attention to your image."

"You can't even get enough to eat, yet you care about your image? Have you ever seen a deity who's always starving?"

"Alright, don't worry. Now that I'm the chairman of Na Du Tong, I can have as much roast chicken as I want, even if I don't have other things."

"You've finally made something of yourself. All these years of hard work raising you haven't been in vain."

Hu Tu elegantly wiped his mouth, his eyes filled with the gratifying feeling of watching his beloved You Er grow up.

"Who's leading whom here? You saved me once and now you've forgotten who you are?

Zhao Zhen rolled her eyes, somewhat annoyed.

"My surname is Hu, thank you! Okay, let's get down to business. Was that girl the doctor who saved you at Tianming Mountain?"

"Mm." Zhao Zhen nodded.

"So what's the situation on her end?"

"It's nothing, I'm just about to get involved in a big problem."

"Then why didn't you stop her?"

"Stop her? Can I break her legs or knock her out and take her back?"
You're oversimplifying things. People like Duanmu Ying may seem amiable on the surface, but they're actually quite arrogant inside!
Without exception, all those who were summoned by Wugensheng to form a sworn brotherhood were the fourth type of people who were 'skilled and virtuous'.

Such a person's resolve is so firm that once they make a decision, how could they be swayed by a few words from others?

"Just like you?"

Hu Tu's words caused Zhao Zhen to fall silent for a moment, and after a long while, he slowly nodded.

"Ah, almost..."

He seemed to suddenly understand why Wugensheng had suddenly become sworn brothers with these thirty-five people.

That bastard, he's choosing his "helpers"!
As Wugensheng himself said, the four types of people can transform into each other under extreme circumstances.

In fact, Wugensheng himself knew that once he became sworn brothers with these thirty-five people, both he and these thirty-five people would be in an extremely awkward situation.

They were neither from any reputable sect nor from the Quanxing sect, thus becoming "middlemen" with an ambiguous stance.

Moreover, their "middleman" is different from Zhao Zhen back then. Although Zhao Zhen always operated in the gray area, he never truly joined any righteous sect or Quanxing. Therefore, while neither side particularly liked him, they didn't hate him either.

But this group is different; most of them come from prestigious schools.

In this situation, becoming sworn brothers with Wugensheng, the leader of Quanxing Sect, is essentially betraying one's original sect!
Similarly, the same applies to Wugensheng.

Since he is the leader of Quanxing, how can the other members of Quanxing act in such a way when he forms a sworn brotherhood with the members of the righteous sects?

Furthermore, given that we are currently in a sensitive period of full-scale war of resistance against Japan, it is even more unacceptable for such powerful but ambiguous individuals to appear in groups.

In other words, if Wugensheng himself were to leak the list of sworn brothers after the oath of brotherhood, then these thirty-six people, including Wugensheng himself, would be hunted down by the entire world of supernatural beings in an instant.

He himself didn't care, after all, this whole thing was orchestrated by Wugensheng himself. He had no ties and could just find a place to hide by himself, but what about the others?
Those who could persevere in such extreme circumstances and escape capture were the "skilled and virtuous" "helpers" that Wu Gensheng needed!
After figuring this out, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but gasp.

"This Wugensheng, he's really gone mad..."

"Ok?"

The little fox raised its head, a look of confusion flashing in its eyes.

"It's nothing, go eat your roast chicken."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand somewhat irritably, then rested his chin on his hand and began to think about what to do next.

Looking back many years, I was looking forward to the birth of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, especially the Tongtian Talisman, which I had long yearned for.

However, as his experience and cultivation increased, the occasions when he truly needed to use the Golden Escape Flowing Light were extremely rare.

Looking at the entire world of supernatural beings nowadays, apart from the elders of the sect leaders, the only person in the circle who can rival him is Zhang Zhiwei, that old Taoist priest.

As for the idea that he would be so embarrassed that he would have to use the Golden Escape Technique to escape, that's just a pipe dream!
For Zhao Zhen at present, the Tongtian Talisman can at most be considered as icing on the cake, not as a lifeline in times of need.

Moreover, considering the tragic cases behind the Tongtian Talisman, Zhao Zhen even felt somewhat reluctant to come into contact with the so-called "Eight Extraordinary Skills".

After all, from a certain perspective, it was he who allowed Wugensheng to create the Jia Shen Rebellion, and it is almost no exaggeration to say that he was one of the main culprits of the Jia Shen Rebellion!

"Alas... I didn't kill Bo Ren, yet Bo Ren died because of me..."

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen also sighed softly.

"Why do you seem so much more sentimental after ten years?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, I'm already a middle-aged man in my thirties..."

"Really? But you don't look that different."

"His appearance hasn't changed, but his heart has aged considerably."

"You're only thirty, not three hundred. Why are you so sentimental? The Zhao Zhen of the past would never have acted like this. As long as you have a clear conscience, you can do whatever you want!"

Could the situation be even worse than when we were hunted down by the Quanxing and the Hiai Mountain ninja?

"That doesn't mean..."

Zhao Zhen gave a wry smile, but soon realized that what the little fox said made a lot of sense.

He hadn't actually wronged anyone. He had already written to those he had known before to remind them, but they themselves refused to listen.

As for those I have no connection with, am I supposed to feel guilty for accidentally stepping on a few ants on the street and then never dare to walk again?
