Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 239: Have they all been executed?

"You still have such a sweet tongue..."

Lu Huizhong gave Zhao Zhen a charmingly disdainful look, clearly understanding what Zhao Zhen meant.

"What a pity. If we had known about this sooner, Xiao Dong and Xiao Xu wouldn't have..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huaiyi's expression immediately changed.

"What happened to Brother Xu and Brother Dong?!"

"what happened?"

A cold smile flashed across Lu Huizhong's face.

"To secretly become sworn brothers with the leader of Quanxing Sect without the knowledge of everyone in the sect is an unforgivable crime, let alone in any other sect, let alone in the Tang Sect!"

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Huaiyi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"They...are all dead?"

"Oh~ He died a terrible death. After all, the rules of our Tang Clan are not as lenient as those of your Celestial Master's Mansion."

"..."

Looking at Zhang Huaiyi's dejected appearance, Zhao Zhen rolled her eyes helplessly.

"Hey Sister Lu, can you stop flirting with my people? Let's talk about something serious, okay?"

"Tch... No wonder you guys at All-Telecom dared to openly protect the Thirty-Six Thieves. So you, the chairman, are really protective of your own?"

Zhao Zhen knew, of course, that Lu Huizhong harbored resentment towards the thirty-six thieves who killed Dong Chang. After all, from a certain perspective, Dong Chang would not have died if it weren't for these people.

But what's done is done, and complaining won't help. Those who are alive must keep looking forward.

"Sister Lu, I wrote a letter to Master Tang a few days ago when I set off. I wonder if Master Tang received it?"

"Of course we received it, otherwise why would the sect leader have sent me here specifically to wait for you?"

Lu Huizhong nodded.

"This restaurant is also a contact point for my Tang Clan, so you can rest assured."

"Hmm, what does the sect leader think?"

"The sect leader said that Xu Xin and Dong Chang have both been executed, so the Tang Clan owes no one anything and will not participate in any subsequent events."

"They've all been executed...?"

Zhao Zhen didn't say anything, but just picked up a piece of food and chuckled.

"I must say, the cooking skills of the Tang Clan are truly unparalleled. I'm actually starting to miss the days I spent living in the Tang Clan back then~"

Lu Huizhong gave Zhao Zhen a meaningful look.

What she just said about Dong Chang and Xu Xin being executed is not entirely true. After the sworn brotherhood of the Thirty-Six Bandits was exposed, Dong Chang did die, but Xu Xin did not.

The Tang Clan leader gave the two men two choices: either die immediately or inherit the Dan Shi technique and be confined to the Tang Tomb to live as a tool for passing on the Dan Shi technique.

Dong Chang did not choose to inherit Dan Shi, but instead chose to die a heroic death, while Xu Xin successfully learned Dan Shi and thus survived.

Only the disciples of the Tang Clan knew that Xu Xin was still alive, so Lu Huizhong did not believe that Zhao Zhen would know this, unless there was a traitor in the sect!
"If you want to eat it, then come to my Tang Clan. I'll cook it for you myself."

"No, I have some things to take care of here, so I won't bother the Tang Sect Master."

Another day, another day I will definitely pay a visit to Master Tang with generous gifts.

"Something you need to take care of? Tell me, what is it that makes you want to parade around in the city with thirty-six thieves?"

"What do you think, Sister Lu?"

"If I ask you, it's probably related to those thirty-six thieves too."

"As expected of Sister Lu! I'm starting to wonder if you can read my mind!"

"roll!"

Lu Huizhong rolled her eyes at Zhao Zhen, then frowned slightly and said:
"Have you all gone mad? The entire world of supernatural beings is avoiding these thirty-six people like the plague. Even their respective sects dare not protect them. How many heads do you have, daring to openly shield them against the wrath of the world!"

"Openly? Sister Lu, I've never admitted to that..." "You've been eating with Zhang Huaiyi, do you need to admit it?"

"It was just a chance encounter, is that so wrong? Just because he ate with Zhang Huaiyi, you're going to accuse me of protecting someone? Well, if I let him go to the Shuzi Sect and eat with that old bastard Hu Tu, does that mean the Shuzi Sect is also protecting the Thirty-Six Thieves?"

"you……"

Lu Huizhong was speechless after Zhao Zhen's sophistry, and in the end, she could only wave her hand in annoyance.

"Don't mention that old geezer from the Technique Sect to me!"

"Looks like you also have a lot of opinions about that old man, Sister Lu."

"So what? Are you going to go to the Magic Sect and complain about me?"

"Of course not. We were once comrades-in-arms, how could I possibly betray you, Sister Lu?"

"Hmph! At least you have some conscience."

"Haha, eat up, eat up, this meal is on me today."

"Alright, then I'll treat you to this too."

As she spoke, Lu Huizhong took out a bottle of pills from her pocket.

"What's this?"

"The antidote," Lu Huizhong said matter-of-factly.

"An antidote?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen was instantly speechless.

"You actually poisoned my food!"

"Calm down, it's not poisonous, just a little croton seed. Speaking of which, this was originally Xiao Xu's work, I really miss it..."

"Good for you."

……

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhao Zhen turned his attention back to Lu Huizhong, who was patting her stomach.

"Sister Lu, what are your plans next? Go back to the Tang Sect to report?"

"I won't go back yet," Lu Huizhong shook her head.

"Ok?"

"Before I left, the sect leader gave me the order to keep an eye on you. After I got you out of our territory, I went back to report to him."

"Tsk, it seems the Tang Sect Leader still doesn't trust me."

Do you think what you're doing right now is trustworthy?

"Yeah, alright then, at least I have someone to keep me company. You know, Huaiyi's been such a quiet guy the whole way... oh, and he's got PTSD too, so boring."

Zhang Huaiyi simply ate the dry rations in his bag silently, not even bothering to acknowledge Zhao Zhen.

As for why I'm eating dry rations, hehe~
Zhang Huaiyi said that apart from the Tang Clan members, probably only Zhao Zhen would dare to eat food made by Tang Clan members so brazenly. He himself would never dare to do so.

This has nothing to do with being timid or not; it's an unspoken rule in the world of supernatural beings!
After all, no one knows if their name might one day suddenly appear on the Tang Clan's assassination list...

Where are you planning to go next?

"We're going to the alleyway. Sister Lu, you know the area well, could you show me the way?"

"Okay, come with me."

Lu Huizhong nodded readily and then walked towards the door on her own.

Watching Lu Huizhong's receding figure, Zhang Huaiyi finally couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Chairman Zhao, is it really okay for you to tell the Tang Clan everything about us like this?"

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems..."
