Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 234 The Bet with Zhou Sheng
After hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Zhou Sheng fell silent for a moment.

He was well aware that he had made a big blunder this time, and even his seniors in the sect couldn't openly cover for him.

However, he was proficient in divination and knew how to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, so he was not too worried about his own safety.

Simply put, those who can find Zhou Sheng can't defeat him, and those who can defeat Zhou Sheng can't find him.

"What do you mean?"

"My meaning is very clear, Brother Zhou. Since you have nowhere to go, why don't you come to our Na Du Tong to lay low for a while?"

Firstly, your sworn brother needs your help now, and secondly, you can't live a life of constant escape forever.

I can assure you, in five years, just five years, after five years, I, Na Du Tong, will definitely restore freedom to you thirty-six thieves. How about it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

"The sky of freedom? You mean you can clear our names?"

"Crimes? What crimes? In my opinion, apart from Wugensheng, the other thirty-five of you are not guilty of any crimes deserving of death."

If it weren't for Hu Tu of the Shuzi Sect making things so difficult to manage, I believe that the major sects would never have gone to such lengths to exterminate their outstanding disciples.

So what you need right now is simply for someone of sufficient stature to stand up and speak for you.

"Sufficient weight? Chairman Zhao, although I admit that your Na Du Tong has indeed developed very rapidly in recent years, in the end, Na Du Tong is just an emerging force."

In terms of influence, you're not even as powerful as Wudang. What makes you so confident that you can suppress the other sects in the martial arts world?

"Whether we can suppress it or not, we'll know in five years. What do you say, Brother Zhou Sheng? Do you dare to make this bet with me?"

Zhou Sheng pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"Why wouldn't you dare? But what if you can't do it?"

"If I cannot do it, then I will bestow upon you my unique skill, the Golden Escape Flowing Light. How about that?"

Upon hearing the words "Golden Escape Flowing Light," Zhou Sheng's eyes lit up.

Normally, Zhou Sheng, who was proficient in divination, might have scoffed at Zhao Zhen's Golden Escape Flowing Light, because it was not his preferred approach.

In this situation where he was being hunted down everywhere, the Golden Escape Flowing Light was simply a divine skill!

Back when Zhao Zhen was being chased by the Japanese devils, if it weren't for this Golden Escape Light, he would have died countless times already!
With the reputation of "Golden Thunder Lord" in front of him, how could Zhou Sheng not be tempted?
"Is this true?"

"Of course it is true. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Miss Duanmu can vouch for this."

As she spoke, Zhao Zhen also turned her gaze to Duanmu Ying, who was standing to the side.

"Ah? Oh, okay... I'll be your witness!"

"Alright! It's a deal then!"

I will stay with you, Na Du Tong, for five years. If you can keep your promise and help us sworn brothers clear our names after five years, I will join Na Du Tong.

"But if you can't do it in five years, then pass on your Golden Stream Light technique to me."

"Okay! It's a deal!"

A smile flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes.

In this way, Zhou Sheng, the "big monkey," was completely tricked into joining the thief's ship.

The reason he mentioned five years is because all the wars will end in five years, and if nothing unexpected happens, Na Du Tong will naturally become the "official" force.

With official backing, it's no wonder that some people can't object to him intervening in the "Thirty-Six Thieves" affair.

"Let's go back."

"Ah."

After making a bet with Zhao Zhen, Zhou Sheng finally eased his hostility towards Zhao Zhen.

"Third Brother, you really scared me to death just now." Duanmu Ying stepped forward and said with lingering fear, while giving Zhou Sheng a reproachful glare.

"I was just worried that Yingzi was being used by someone, so I thought I'd test the waters a bit."

"How could that be? Brother Huaiyi is with me too!"

"Hmph! That big-eared thief..."

Zhou Sheng's eyes flickered, a hint of inexplicable displeasure flashing in them.

"Alright, if you brothers and sisters have anything to say, you can talk about it slowly when you get back."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen placed his hands on Zhou Sheng and Duanmu Ying's shoulders respectively.

Swish!
With a flash of golden light, the three figures instantly disappeared into the depths of the Qinling Mountains.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Nadutong, in Duanmu Ying's small courtyard.

Almost at the instant the golden light appeared, Zhang Huaiyi, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

"Chairman Zhao, Yingzi, you're back?"

Upon discovering that it was Zhao Zhen and his group, Zhang Huaiyi greeted them with a smile.

When his gaze fell upon Zhou Sheng, the smile on Zhang Huaiyi's face gradually disappeared.

"Third brother..."

"You still remember that I'm your third brother?"

Sensing the intense tension between the two, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but let a hint of doubt flash across his eyes.

What's going on between those two?

"When we parted, my third brother specifically consulted a fortune teller for Huaiyi, telling him not to go south, as it would endanger his life."

But Brother Huaiyi didn't believe it and insisted on heading south back to Longhu Mountain, and that's how it happened~

Duanmu Ying explained in a low voice.

"You know what, your third brother's predictions are pretty accurate. Last time when he ran into his senior brother Zhang Zhiwei, Huaiyi almost died at his own hands, didn't he?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen smiled and stepped forward to smooth things over.

"I didn't expect Brother Zhou Sheng to be so proficient in divination. In that case, why don't you just divine it yourself and find out whether I betrayed you?"

Do you think I don't want to calculate it?

Zhou Sheng rolled his eyes, looking annoyed.

“As early as when Wugensheng mentioned you to me, I had already tried to ask you questions in my inner vision.”

"and then?"

"Then……"

Zhou Sheng didn't speak, but just let out a long sigh.

He still remembers the terrifying backlash. If it weren't for his little donkey's intelligence that saved him from disaster, who knows what would have happened to him?
"Anyway, all you need to know is that unless someone is looking for death, no one will dare to ask you any questions in the inner world."

"Oh?"

Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhou Sheng with great interest, never expecting that this "big monkey" would actually back down one day.

It seems that as one's own destiny gains more and more weight, the cost for those sorcerers to divine one's information in their inner vision is also constantly increasing.

As for why the change was so abrupt, Zhao Zhen estimated that it was probably related to the secrets within the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valley.
