Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 196 I'm sorry, Eiko...

At that moment, Duanmu Ying finally understood why the atmosphere at home had become strange when she returned.

Looking at the list of thirty-six people in her hand, countless thoughts flashed through Duanmu Ying's mind.

Why was their sworn brotherhood of thirty-six people, which was so secret, still discovered?
Who leaked this list? And who delivered it to the various factions?

Suddenly, a figure appeared in Duanmu Ying's mind.

"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.

It was him?!
Could it be that Zhao Zhen leaked this list?
But why would he do this?
Wait a minute! Dad just said that all the sects and factions have received this list, doesn't that mean our other brothers and sisters are in danger?!

Seeing Duanmu Ying standing there without saying a word, Duanmu Bo was instantly filled with rage.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Weren't you always so quick-witted?!"

Duanmu Ying pursed her lips, and then slowly knelt down in front of her father and master.

"Father, Master, I'm sorry, Yingzi has nothing to say about this..."

"you!"

Duanmu Bo suddenly stood up, so angry that he was about to rush over and slap Duanmu Ying.

Upon seeing this, Prince Zhong quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Father, Yingzi was just confused for a moment and was deceived by that sorcerer!"
"Eiko, say something!"

"Zizhong! Let your father go!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhong immediately froze on the spot.

Duanmu Ying slowly raised her head, her eyes stubbornly fixed on her father, Duanmu Bo.

"Father, I wasn't confused for a moment. I didn't befriend the leader of the Quanxing Sect; it was just Wugensheng!"

"evil creature!!!"

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Bo's face turned ashen with anger.

In the past, when Mu Ying acted recklessly, her father could only let it go. There was nothing he could do, since she was his only daughter.

But this time, the trouble that Duanmu Ying caused was no small matter, but a huge disaster!

Becoming sworn brothers with the leader of Quanxing Sect, especially during such a sensitive time, even if it's just to avoid affecting unity, who in the world of supernatural beings can tolerate you?

"Yingzi's father, stop scolding Yingzi. Now that the news has spread, we should think about what to do next!"

Duanmu Ying's mother stepped forward to dissuade her.

"What can I do? What can I do?!"

"Didn't the sect leaders and high-ranking members go to Longhu Mountain to ask the Celestial Master to come forward and join forces to wipe out these thirty-six people, but in the end the Celestial Master refused?"
Among these thirty-six people were disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion, and everyone in the circle knew that the Celestial Master was protective of his own. Didn't this attitude show that the Celestial Master wanted to protect his disciples?
If that's the case, then there's still room for maneuver in this matter.

"Our Duanmu family has some connections in this industry. Maybe if we bring gifts and ask someone to pull some strings, we can save Yingzi's life?"

“It’s no use…” Duanmu Bo closed his eyes in despair.

"Just yesterday, Hu Tu, the leader of the Shuzi Sect, personally brought Hu Haiwang's body up Longhu Mountain..."

"What?!!"

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Ying's mother was immediately shocked.

If she still harbored a glimmer of hope before, upon hearing this news, she instantly fell into despair.

Now that even the sect leader of the Shuzi Sect has chosen to put righteousness above family ties and kill Hu Haiwang, if others still want to downplay the matter, the Shuzi Sect alone will not allow it!

At the same time, Duanmu Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, also turned deathly pale upon hearing the news of Hu Haiwang's death.

"I bet you'll get into huge trouble on this trip..." Did he already know this would happen?
At this moment, Duanmu Ying was almost certain that Zhao Zhen had leaked the list of the thirty-six people!
"Master, Father, is there really no other way to save Yingzi's life?"

Wang Zizhong also clenched his fists with a look of despair, and turned to look at Duanmu Ying on the ground with a sad expression in his eyes.

“Eiko…”

"father……"

"You go."

When he said those words, Duanmu Bo seemed to have aged more than ten years, and his originally straight spine hunched over.

"Yingzi's father!"

"The news of your sworn brotherhood has already spread. If things continue like this, it won't be long before those people come to your master and me demanding your men back."

If that happens, your master and I certainly won't be able to save your life.

The only way to save your life now is to pretend you never came back…

Master Liu slowly closed his eyes, a look of pain flashing across his face.

No one expected things to turn out this way.

He had been practicing medicine at Jishetang for many years and had some connections in the industry, but it was clear that the seriousness of this matter had far exceeded their capabilities.

If it were any other kind of trouble, he might still be able to save face.

But now that the sect leader of the Human Arts Sect has already killed him, it's too late to say anything...

"Father, Mother, Master, Yingzi is unfilial. I'm sorry to have disappointed you..."

After saying this, Duanmu Ying slowly kowtowed three times to the two elders and her master.

After getting up, she looked at her husband, Wang Zizhong, who was standing to the side.

"Zizhong, I'm sorry..."

Wang Zizhong forced back the tears welling in his eyes and managed a weak smile.

“There’s nothing to apologize for between us as husband and wife. If anyone should apologize, it should be me who apologizes to you.”

As your husband, I was unable to protect you when you were in danger. I'm sorry, Eiko…

Tears finally streamed down Wang Zizhong's face.

Looking at the reddened eyes of her family members, Duanmu Ying suddenly felt a pang of regret.

If I hadn't become sworn brothers with Wugensheng, would my family have been spared such heartbreak?
"Alright! Stop crying and sobbing. Why didn't you think of us when you swore brotherhood with that Wugensheng? Get out of here! The farther the better!"

Duanmu Bo's angry shout broke the heavy atmosphere.

Although his words were harsh, his trembling shoulders revealed the turmoil in his heart.

"Father, Mother, Master, and Zizhong, Yingzi is gone."

"Yingzi, take care..."

As her loved ones watched her go, Duanmu Ying's figure receded further and further into the distance, eventually disappearing from their sight.

After leaving Jishetang, Duanmu Ying was filled with confusion and didn't know where to go or what to do.

But at that moment, a voice she would never forget slowly rang out behind her.

"Miss Duanmu, we meet again."
