Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 335 You stay here, you're not allowed to go down the mountain.
"Eiko, you've worked hard."

Zhao Zhen nodded and gave Duanmu Ying a grateful look.

"It's alright. I'm a doctor. Saving lives is what I should do."

Duanmu Ying shook her head.

"Zhang Zhiwei, thank you so much, Miss Duanmu, for saving my life!"

Zhang Zhiwei stood up and solemnly bowed to Duanmu Ying.

The next Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion had eyes filled with lingering fear and heartfelt gratitude.

If it weren't for Duanmu Ying's intervention, even if my junior brother had managed to survive, he would probably have been a cripple for the rest of his life.

At the same time, the other Taoist priests of the Celestial Master's Mansion also bowed, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Duanmu Ying.

Today, they have truly witnessed the extraordinary abilities of the Dual Hands.

No wonder almost everyone in the world of supernatural beings wants to possess the Eight Extraordinary Techniques; such an ability to seize the creation of heaven and earth is indeed a temptation that few can resist.

After sending Duanmu Ying back to Nadutong to rest, Zhao Zhen soon returned to Longhu Mountain.

At this moment, Zhang Jingqing and Zhang Zhiwei were sitting on the stone bench outside the quiet room, while the other disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion had been sent away to avoid disturbing Tian Jinzhong's rest inside.

Upon seeing Zhao Zhen return, Zhang Jingqing smiled and pointed to the stone bench beside her.

"This time, we really have to thank Chairman Zhao!"

"Master, please just call me Zhao Zhen as before."

As Zhao Zhen sat down, she returned Zhang Jingqing's smile.

"Old Zhao, no doubt about it, this time our Celestial Master's Mansion owes you a life."

Zhang Zhiwei clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhao Zhen. Although he didn't say much, Zhao Zhen could still hear the seriousness in his tone.

"We've known each other for so many years, what's there to owe each other?"

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen waved his hand dismissively.

"Hey, friendship is friendship, but if you ever need anything from me, Zhang Zhiwei, just let me know. I'll definitely help you, even if it costs me my life!"

"What are you saying? Even if you don't owe me your life, I certainly won't hold back when I need to call for you!"

"Hahaha……"

The tense atmosphere was instantly broken by Zhao Zhen's quirky words. After a few words, even Zhang Zhiwei, who was originally in a gloomy mood, felt much better.

Zhang Jingqing looked at the two little ones in front of her with satisfaction, and then slowly spoke:

"Alright, Zhiwei, tell me, what exactly happened? Why did Jinzhong become like that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei's smile vanished instantly.

"Master, after Lao Zhao told me that there was danger in Jinzhong, didn't I immediately go down the mountain to Jinzhong and look for him on my way back to the mountain?"

But not long after I descended the mountain, less than a few dozen miles from our mountain, I found Jinzhong lying in a pool of blood.

"Not even a few dozen miles?"

Zhang Jingqing raised an eyebrow, a flash of anger in her eyes.

"How dare they come to the doorstep of our Celestial Master's Mansion to harm our disciples!!!"

"Old Zhang, when you went there, did you see who exactly attacked Jinzhong?"

Zhao Zhen asked, resting her chin on her hand.

"No."

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head.

"When I arrived, all those who had attacked Jinzhong had already fled."

"But didn't Master just say that the methods to severely injure Jinzhong are the Bone-Shaving and Tendon-Removing Hand Technique and the Qi-Corroding Yin Needle Technique?"

Zhao Zhen and Zhang Jingqing exchanged a glance, then Zhao Zhen said with a hint of helplessness:

“Actually, as far as I know, not many people know these two techniques. There are indeed some among the Quanxing sect members, but that doesn’t necessarily confirm that the one who attacked Jinzhong was from Quanxing.” Zhang Zhiwei frowned upon hearing this.

Just as he was pondering who else in the world of supernatural beings was proficient in these two methods, Zhang Jingqing suddenly spoke up:

"Chairman Zhao, how did you know that someone was going to make a move against Jinzhong?"

"A friend of mine told me this in a letter."

"In the letter?"

Zhang Jingqing glanced at Zhao Zhen, but instead of asking who this friend was, he continued:

"Since you told me this in the form of a letter, it means that your friend probably already knew about someone's plan to take action against Jinzhong a long time ago."

"That's right! Since he knew in advance that there was danger in Jinzhong, it means he also very likely knew who the person who made the move was!"

Reminded by his master, Zhang Zhiwei immediately realized what was going on.

"Yes, that's what I thought at first too, so I plan to ask him for clarification later."

It just happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to react.

"Then what are we waiting for, Old Zhao? Take me to see your friend. I want to ask him personally who dares to lay such a heavy hand on my Celestial Master's Mansion disciples!!!"

"can."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and just as the two were about to set off, Zhang Jingqing, the Celestial Master behind them, suddenly called out to Zhang Zhiwei.

"Zhiwei, you don't need to go down the mountain with Chairman Zhao. You stay here to take care of Jinzhong."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei's eyes widened immediately.

"Why, Master? There are so many disciples on the mountain, why must I be the one to take care of Jinzhong?"

It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I still need to get an explanation from Jinzhong!

"Just stay when I tell you to! Why are you making so many excuses? You won't even listen to your teacher anymore?!"

Zhang Jingqing glared at Zhang Zhiwei with a gloomy expression.

The next moment, Zhang Zhiwei, who had been so aggressive, suddenly became as quiet as a mouse seeing a cat.

"Yes……"

After reluctantly responding, Zhang Zhiwei obediently sat back down on the stone bench.

"Chairman Zhao, I'll have to trouble you with this matter. I'll have another disciple accompany you down the mountain."

"Yes, this junior will follow the Celestial Master's arrangements."

Zhao Zhen cupped his hands in greeting, then winked helplessly at Zhang Zhiwei.

Old Zhang, since your master has said so, there's really nothing we can do as brothers.
A moment later, Zhang Jingqing called a young man who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old to Zhao Zhen.

"He Qian, haven't you greeted Chairman Zhao yet?"

“Sun Heqian, a disciple of the Celestial Master’s Mansion, greets Chairman Zhao.”

Sun Heqian cupped his hands in greeting and bowed slightly to Zhao Zhen.

"Sun Heqian?"

Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes and sized up the young man in front of him.

The young man was dressed in a coarse Taoist robe, with a handsome face and a sharp glint in his eyes that was typical of a Taoist practitioner, indicating that he was quite accomplished in his cultivation.

"Old Zhao, let me introduce you. This is my apprentice."

Zhang Zhiwei stepped forward and patted Sun Heqian on the shoulder.

"Your apprentice?"

A look of surprise flashed across Zhao Zhen's eyes at first, but it quickly disappeared.

That's true. He and Zhang Zhiwei are both over forty years old, so it's normal for them to take on disciples.
