Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 228 Come quick, save them!
After giving a general account of what had happened down the mountain, Lu Jin's brows furrowed slightly.

"That Wugensheng is a madman! If it weren't for you, Lao Zhao, wouldn't all those righteous people have been fighting with the Quanxing sect because of him?!"

The thought of the consequences of this great battle sent chills down Lu Jin's spine.

Once the two sides start fighting, it won't be as simple as just the Thirty-Six Thieves; it will ignite a full-scale war between the righteous faction and the Quanxing!

How many people die in this war is secondary; with an external enemy at hand, any internal attrition will only benefit the Japanese.

After all, even the Quanxing sect played a significant role in the War of Resistance against Japan over the years.

"Yes, thankfully things didn't get completely out of control."

Chengzhen nodded with a similarly solemn expression. Now he finally understood why Zhao Zhen was so determined to stop him from contacting Wugensheng.

Beside him, Li Muxuan, who was holding a broom, also had a complicated expression.

Although he knew that killing Wugensheng was entirely justified for what he had done, Li Muxuan couldn't help but feel a sense of relief after hearing that Wugensheng had left unharmed.

At the same time, Zhao Zhen also turned his gaze to Li Muxuan, who was standing to the side.

"Judging from this, you're planning to take him in?"

“Well, since Li Muxuan has already withdrawn from Quanxing, then let’s take him in as the tomb keeper of our Sanyi Sect, to clean our late master’s tomb day and night. This is perhaps the best outcome for both our late master and Li Muxuan.”

Chengzhen nodded. When it didn't involve Wugensheng, this leader of the Sanyi Sect actually had quite the demeanor of a sect leader.

"I never expected this matchmaking to be so full of twists and turns..."

Lu Jin said with a heartfelt sigh.

"Fortunately, Wugensheng did not choose to cause trouble in our Sanyi Sect, otherwise I really don't know if this would have been another catastrophe for the Sanyi Sect."

Now Lu Jin finally understood that Wugensheng was a born jinx, and anyone who got involved with him would be dragged into trouble.

Look at those thirty-six thieves, and then look at the Quanxing and righteous sects today—you can’t be wrong!

"Well, I have to thank Chairman Zhao, otherwise I would have almost made a mistake again today, and even implicated the Sanyi Sect once more..."

As she spoke, Chengzhen lowered her head in shame.

"It's alright. After all, before Master Zuo passed away, he instructed me to take good care of the Sanyi Sect for him. So, if you ever have any difficulties in the future, Senior Brother Chengzhen, you can send someone to Nadutong to find me."

"Thank you."

Chengzhen clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply to Zhao Zhen.

"Alright, now that Wugensheng, that jinx, is gone, we should just do what we need to do. Anyway, no matter how big things get, it has nothing to do with our Sanyi Sect."

Just as Lu Jin was stretching and preparing to go back to rest, Zhao Zhen suddenly chuckled.

"It's hard to say."

"Ok?"

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhao Zhen with some confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"You'll see in a bit. It's a little inconvenient for me to stay here any longer. I'll leave the rest to you."

Having said that, without waiting for Lu Jin to ask any further questions, Zhao Zhen's figure transformed into a golden light and disappeared before their eyes.

"This guy……"

Looking at the spot where Zhao Zhen disappeared, Lu Jin couldn't help but twitch his lips in exasperation.

Just as he and his senior brother Chengzhen were looking at each other, wondering what was going on, an extremely anxious voice suddenly rang out from outside the mountain gate.

"Fellow Daoists of the Sanyi Sect, come quickly to save him! My master is dying!"

……

Yan'an, the headquarters of Nadutong.

The first thing Zhao Zhen did upon returning to Na Du Tong was to visit Zhang Huaiyi at Duanmu Ying's residence. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhao Zhen saw Duanmu Ying brewing traditional Chinese medicine.

"Senior Brother Zhao Zhen, you've arrived?"

"Hmm, what about Huaiyi? How's his injury?"

"Don't worry, Brother Huaiyi's injury is no longer a big problem. He will recover after a little rest."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen finally felt a little relieved.

"That's good. May I go in and see him?"

"of course can."

squeak~
As the wooden door was slowly pushed open, Zhao Zhen's gaze fell on Zhang Huaiyi, who was lying on the bed.

"How are you feeling?"

"Yingzi's medical skills are superb; I feel that everything is fine now."

Zhang Huaiyi shook his head. In fact, he felt that he was already fully capable of getting out of bed, but Duanmu Ying insisted that the treatment should be thorough and that no lingering illness should be left in his body.

Left with no other choice, Zhang Huaiyi had to let her have her way.

After all, Duanmu Ying is a doctor, no matter what.
"You should know that I attended Master Zuo's funeral a while ago, right?"

"Yes, Yingzi mentioned it to me."

Zhang Huaiyi nodded.

"I met your master, the Celestial Master, at the Sanyi Gate."

"master……"

When mentioning Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing, a hint of excitement and guilt flashed clearly in Zhang Huaiyi's eyes.

"My master must have asked you about me, right?"

"Yes, the Celestial Master said he originally planned to come straight here to find you, but he received news of the passing of Master Zuo on the way, so he changed his route halfway."

"My master is coming to find me in person?!"

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Huaiyi was startled and immediately tried to get out of bed.

"Haha, calm down first~"

Zhao Zhen shook his head, somewhat amused.

"Although your master did initially intend to come to our Na Du Tong to find you, I ultimately stopped him."

"They stopped them?"

A look of surprise flashed across Zhang Huaiyi's face.

"Well, I won't go into the specific details, but in short, you can stay here with me without worry. Once this storm has passed, you can find a chance to return to Longhu Mountain."

Of course, this was also the Celestial Master's intention.

"master……"

A tear glistened in Zhang Huaiyi's eyes. He gritted his teeth, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

"I've let my master and senior brothers down. When we swore brotherhood, I clearly sensed something was wrong, but I acted rashly, harming my brothers and everyone in the Celestial Master's Mansion..."

Zhao Zhen reached out and patted Zhang Huaiyi on the shoulder, letting out a long sigh.

That's often how it is; decisions made in the heat of the moment may require a lifetime to pay for.

On this point, Zhang Huaiyi, Duanmu Ying, and even Xu Xin, who is currently imprisoned in the Tang Tomb, probably understand it all too well...
