Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 282 If anything really happens, I'll cover for you!

The following morning, at the Beijing branch of Nadutong.

The sky over Beijing had a chilly feel typical of late autumn. At the entrance of the venue, employees dressed in uniform Nadutong work clothes and looking sharp stood on both sides.

Although everyone wore a gentle smile, their eyes scanned each visitor with the sharpness of a hawk.

Leaders, elders, and elite disciples from renowned sects across the country, each with a century-long history, entered the venue in a continuous stream, dressed in their respective sect costumes.

"Sect Leader Liu, it's been a long time."

"Haha, Sect Leader Xu, it's been a long time! So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Sect Leader Xu has become the head of a sect. Congratulations!"

"Sect Leader Liu, you are too kind. Although we fought bloody battles for years and drove away the Japanese devils, most of my fellow disciples have died. Otherwise, how could I have been appointed as the sect leader?"

"Alas... Yes, this war was indeed too brutal. It wasn't just you, but also our sect."

This battle almost wiped out an entire generation…

"Who can argue with that? But thankfully, we won in the end."

"That's right, as long as we can drive the Japanese devils out, it's all worth it, no matter how much we have to pay!"
"Master Xu, please!"

"please!"

……

Hearing the exclamations of relief from the sect leaders, Zhao Zhen, who was personally standing at the door to greet the guests, also let out a long sigh.

Indeed, the price paid to win this war was far too high...

"Celestial Master Zhang of the Celestial Master's Mansion has arrived!"

Upon hearing this shout, Zhao Zhen immediately went to greet him personally.

Not far away, Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing, apart from looking slightly older, still had the same demeanor as he did back in the Lu family compound!
He had white hair and beard, wore a simple Taoist robe, and had deep, calm eyes. His aura was pure and peaceful. He walked with a vigorous stride and greeted the sect leaders around him with a hearty smile.

Behind him, Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong followed closely. Both of them had a restrained aura and sharp eyes. Zhang Zhiwei, in particular, was like a pillar of strength, attracting countless awe-inspiring gazes from the audience.

"Zhao Zhen greets the Celestial Master."

Zhao Zhen clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and bowed to Zhang Jingqing.

Looking at the young man in front of her, who had risen from a rising star to become the CEO of Nadutong after more than 20 years of hard work and is now almost at the top of the entire world of supernatural beings, Zhang Jingqing couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

"If Brother Zuo were alive today and could see your achievements, he would surely be smiling in his grave, wouldn't he?"

"You flatter me, Master. I was just doing what I felt I should do."

I think if Master Zuo were alive, he certainly wouldn't stand idly by and watch the world of supernatural beings, which had just experienced the baptism of war, fall into dire straits again because of the chaotic Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

This world of supernatural beings needs some peace and quiet for a while.

"Hahaha, very well, just for what you said, Chairman Zhao, the Celestial Master's Mansion will stand up for you today!"

"Thank you, Celestial Master. Please take a seat."

"Ah."

While his master Zhang Jingqing was seated, Zhang Zhiwei secretly slipped over to Zhao Zhen's side.

"Old Zhao, what kind of trick are you up to this time?"

Looking at Zhang Zhiwei, who was winking and making faces at him, Zhao Zhen smiled helplessly.

"What kind of tricks could I possibly pull?"

"You don't really want all the sects to give up the competition for the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, do you? That's simply impossible!" Zhang Zhiwei said solemnly.

During this time, he and his junior brother Tian Jinzhong went down the mountain again to look for Zhang Huaiyi. During this time, they witnessed too many tragedies caused by the struggle for the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

That's why Zhang Zhiwei understood even more clearly that it was simply a pipe dream to get these people to give up their fight for the Eight Extraordinary Techniques with just a few words!
Whether it can be done or not, we'll only know by trying.

Zhao Zhen smiled mysteriously, and before Zhang Zhiwei could speak, he asked in return:
"Speaking of which, you've been down the mountain with Jinzhong for so long, have you found Huaiyi yet?"

"No."

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head, a hint of headache flashing in his eyes.

"Of course you can't find him, because he's deliberately hiding from you."

"Yeah...that big-eared scoundrel, sometimes I really want to slap him to death!"
We finally calmed down with you, but before long you came up with these Eight Extraordinary Skills again!

Does he feel uneasy if he has a day to himself?!

Zhao Zhen saw the resentment in Zhang Zhiwei's heart, and then smiled with a hint of schadenfreude.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Who told you to end up with such a junior brother?"

"Ugh, can we not even talk about it?"

"Actually, I don't quite understand. You all know that even if you find Huaiyi, he won't go back with you."

"If that's the case, why bother going down the mountain to look for him?"

"This is my master's order. You don't know, but my master gave me a death order this time."

They said that even if Huaiyi was crippled, he had to be brought back to the mountain!

"so serious?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen immediately raised an eyebrow.

"Sigh, I guess Master thinks the same way you do. He doesn't want to see the world of supernatural beings suffer again because of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques."

For this reason, my master, who has always been protective of his own, was even willing to completely abandon Huaiyi…

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen turned his head and looked deeply at the old figure in the distance, a hint of respect flashing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I will help the Celestial Master end all of this."

"I hope so, but don't push yourself too hard. After all, the battle outside isn't over yet..."

"Yeah, I know what I'm doing. Hey! It's a deal, if I really need your help later, you'd better step up and keep things in check!"

"Don't worry, we've known each other for so many years, how could I not help you?"
Besides, didn't my master just say that the Celestial Master's Mansion is here to support you?
If anything really happens, I'll cover for you!

"Good brother! You truly deserve to be a top-ranking member of the Celestial Master's Mansion!"

"What stick?" A hint of wariness flashed in Zhang Zhiwei's eyes.

Every time I chat with Zhao Zhen, he unlocks many new words that I've never heard of before.

For example, during the battle of Cangshan, Zhao Zhen tricked Zhang Zhiwei into giving him silk, and it wasn't until many years later that Zhang Zhiwei understood what that thing meant.

Just thinking about how he used to call those Japanese devils "dà sī gē" makes Zhang Zhiwei want to slap Zhao Zhen twice!

"Haha, don't worry, I'm not kidding you this time, I'm really praising your fighting skills!"
