Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 237 He's making an offer...

"Master Mo, the Shuzi Sect says that Duanmu Ying and Zhang Huaiyi are with me, that the Zhao brothers are with me, and that Ma Ben is also with me. Now they've even asked about you."

May I ask, which other members of the "Thirty-Six Thieves" are on my list? Tell me about them all.
I, Zhao, want to see just how many more fabricated accusations can be leveled in this world!

Zhao Zhen spoke slowly and deliberately, yet each word was clear and carried an undeniable air of authority.

The coldness in that smile sent a chill down the spines of everyone in the Tiangong Hall present, involuntarily reminding them of the recent rumors that Hu Tu had been so enraged that he vomited blood twice and nearly lost his life at the Sanyi Sect.

Mo Ye stared sharply at Zhao Zhen, as if trying to find a flaw in his face.

But Zhao Zhen's gaze was open and his expression was calm. The helplessness of being slandered and the slight coldness of being offended were expressed just right, so that no one could see the slightest bit of falsehood.

Just as Mo Ye's eyes flickered, unsure whether to continue applying pressure, Zhao Zhen suddenly changed the subject, his face regaining its gentle smile, but his tone became even more profound.

"However, on the other hand, since Master Mo is so concerned about this matter, could it be that he is truly worried about those disciples and juniors of your hall who have made a momentary lapse in judgment?"

"I do have a humble opinion, and I wonder if Master Mo would be willing to listen?"

“Please speak freely, Chairman Zhao,” Mo Ye replied in a deep voice.

"In fact, these young people among the Thirty-Six Thieves made mistakes in the heat of the moment, which is certainly infuriating."

However, in Zhao's view, although they did make a mistake, they did not deserve to die!
Zhao had also been hunted down by people all over the world and knew the dangers involved.

If we could find a safe and secluded place for them to temporarily avoid the storm, cultivate their character, reflect on their mistakes and atone for their sins, and then return to serve the sect after the storm has subsided, it would not be a bad solution.
In this way, the sect's strength can be preserved, the sect's generosity can be demonstrated, and those... heartbroken masters and elders can finally rest easy.

These words were like a stone thrown into a lake, instantly creating ripples throughout the entire Tiangong Hall.

After hearing these words, a sharp light suddenly flashed in Mo Ye's eyes!

They were both cunning foxes, how could he not understand the meaning behind Zhao Zhen's words?

These words were practically saying: If you, Tiangongtang, want to protect your disciples, just say so. I, Zhao Zhen, understand, and I even have a way to provide a place for you!
Meanwhile, the expressions of the other elders of the Heavenly Craft Hall changed drastically.

Zhao Zhen's words struck a chord with them!
The Heavenly Craft Hall's weapon-refining technique demands extremely high talent, which is why there are not many disciples in the hall. Zhao Pingshan and Zhao Tianhai are both extremely talented disciples. If they are given up like this, which elder in the sect wouldn't feel heartbroken?
Moreover, Ma Ben is a direct disciple of Mo Ye, the head of the Tiangong Hall!
They disliked Hu Tu's ruthless and indiscriminate approach to killing and extermination, but dared not speak out due to the prevailing circumstances.

However, if all three of them were killed, the legacy of the Heavenly Craft Hall would be almost completely severed!
Ever since the sworn brotherhood of the Thirty-Six Thieves blew up, Mo Ye and the elders have been worrying about it so much that they're losing their hair every day.

Their Tiangongtang was in a similar situation to Jishetang, possessing a strong network of connections but lacking sufficient power.

Given the current situation, even if they intend to protect their own people, they are powerless to do so.

But this predicament was suddenly turned into a glimmer of hope after Mo Ye heard that Na Du Tong was protecting Duanmu Ying and Zhang Huaiyi!

In fact, everyone knew very well that the information obtained from the inner scene could not be wrong, and Hu Tu would not lie about such a question.

So it's highly likely that Duanmu Ying and Zhang Huaiyi are hiding inside the Dudu Tong, but so what?

Leaving aside Zhang Huaiyi for the moment, he is a direct disciple of the Celestial Master, who falsely claims the surname Zhang, and is one of the candidates for the future Celestial Master position. His importance to the Celestial Master's Mansion is self-evident.

Just take Duanmu Ying, the eldest daughter of Jishetang, who has been practicing medicine for many years. There are countless people and sects who owe her and Jishetang favors.

In this situation, who would bother to fight Na Du Tong to the death? Do they think they can defeat that "Golden Thunder Lord"? Therefore, if we want to break this deadlock, the best way is to find a way to place our disciples within Na Du Tong!

In this way, the lives of Ma Benzai and the three Zhao brothers can be saved, and Tiangongtang can be kept completely out of the mess.

The problem is that Zhang Huaiyi was a Celestial Master who had protected Zhao Zhen in his early years, and Duanmu Ying had saved Zhao Zhen's life. That's why they were willing to take such a big risk to take him in.

However, Tiangongtang had little contact with either Dutong or Zhao Zhen, let alone any favors. Why would they risk their lives to protect their own disciples?

"Actually, I quite agree with Chairman Zhao's idea, but the world is like this, and Tiangongtang has no power to protect itself, so we can only go along with the crowd..."

Zhao Zhen took in everyone's reactions and knew that the time was right.

So he smiled slightly, stood up, and cupped his hands in greeting to Mo Ye.

"Master Mo, thank you for your hospitality today. We have had a good meal and drinks, and it is getting late, so I will take my leave now."

Zhao noted down Guitang's problem.

If fate allows, or... if I am fortunate enough to lend a hand, I, Zhao, will certainly do my utmost.

After saying that, Zhao Zhen didn't care whether Mo Ye had anything else to say, and turned to walk out of the courtyard.

His composure made it seem as if this was just an ordinary place he was casually visiting.

As Zhao Zhen approached the courtyard gate, he paused slightly. Although he didn't turn his head, he clearly left behind a sentence that resounded like thunder in the ears of all the disciples of Tiangong Hall.

"By the way, if your esteemed institution wishes to test my abilities next time, you can send a master craftsman to evaluate and spar with me in person."

Placing 'Thousand-Eyed Puppets' along the way to spy on guests entering the valley is rather petty.

"That's settled then, Master Mo, farewell!"

Before he finished speaking, with a flash of golden light, Zhao Zhen's figure had already disappeared at the courtyard gate.

After Zhao Zhen left, the courtyard fell into a deathly silence, and everyone's face was extremely grim.

Zhao Zhen not only easily saw through the traps used to secretly observe and test his skills along the way, but also exposed their secret reconnaissance puppet, the Thousand-Eyed Puppet!

This is tantamount to slapping them hard in the face in their area of ​​expertise.

Mo Ye stared in the direction where Zhao Zhen had disappeared, speechless for a long time, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

Finally, he exhaled a long breath, a complex and unfathomable light flashing in his eyes, and murmured to himself:
"What a shrewd Jin Xiao Lei Jun... He's unassuming and calculating. He's... setting a price."

Mo Ye clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it, finally letting out a sigh that was hard to decipher.

"Fine, send someone to investigate whether those two bastards, Zhao Pingshan and Zhao Tianhai, and that beast Ma Ben, have been secretly contacting any of our hidden contact points recently."
