Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 348 The Quanxing "Team Up"? (Four more chapters to come, please vote!)
Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Sun Heqian's eyes.

"The position of Celestial Master?"

"The succession of the position of Celestial Master in your Celestial Master's Mansion is very special, and it is precisely because of this that your advisor is so cautious."

After all, if something were to happen to your master, he really wouldn't know how to pass on the position of Celestial Master..."

"Has something happened to Master?"

Sun Heqian raised an eyebrow, trying hard to imagine the scene in his mind.

Well, it's still a bit hard to imagine.

"What's wrong? There are countless heroes in the world. Even if your master is strong, who can guarantee that he won't encounter any bad luck when he goes down the mountain? For example, what if I suddenly stab him in the back?"
So don't think your advisor is being overly cautious; after all, this is a serious matter, and he has no choice but to be careful.

"I understand. Thank you, Chairman Zhao, for clearing up my doubts."

Sun Heqian nodded.

"Well, I'm telling you this because you're young after all. Young people are often impulsive and can't keep their tempers up, which can lead to some rash decisions."

I have some leads on the person who attacked your Uncle Tian, ​​but I can't tell your master yet.

In about ten days, it will be the big day for your master to inherit the position of Celestial Master. I will tell him everything after we go up the mountain for the succession ceremony.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, don't worry, I won't reveal a single word to my master."

"Well, children can be taught."

Zhao Zhen nodded in satisfaction, then reached out and patted Sun Heqian on the shoulder.

"Alright, you can continue your cultivation."

"Yes."

……

Inside the office, Zhao Zhen had just finished signing a document when Zhao Fangxu suddenly walked in.

"Master? Are you free right now?"

"what's up?"

Zhao Zhen said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Is someone outside wanting to see you?"

"Who?"

"Liu Wei, the head of Jianghu Xiaozhan."

Upon hearing Liu Wei's name, Zhao Zhen's gaze sharpened slightly.

"I understand. Bring the person in."

"Okay master."

Zhao Fangxu responded and went out. A short while later, he led in a tall, thin middle-aged man wearing an old-fashioned long gown and round-framed glasses.

This man was none other than Liu Wei, the head of Jianghu Xiaozhan.

He wore a smile, his eyes sharp as a hawk's, quickly scanning Zhao Zhen's office before finally settling on Zhao Zhen.

Compared to the dejected innkeeper he once was, Liu Wei now seems to have undergone a complete transformation.

"Chairman Zhao, it's been a long time! You're even more impressive than before."

Liu Wei's voice was not loud, but it had a unique penetrating quality. He slightly cupped his hands, his posture was calm, and he did not have the awkwardness that ordinary extraordinary people would have when facing Zhao Zhen.

"Brother Liu, a rare guest indeed."

Zhao Zhen stood up from behind her desk, a faint, formulaic smile on her face, and gestured for her to sit down.

"Jianghu Inn is well-informed and doesn't visit unless there's a reason. For Boss Liu to come in person, he probably isn't here to reminisce, is he?"

Zhao Fangxu cleverly served two cups of hot tea, then quietly retreated to stand by the door, his small eyes darting around curiously as he observed the mysterious "manager of the inn."

Liu Wei didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down on the guest sofa, picked up his teacup and blew on the steam, but didn't drink it. He looked at Zhao Zhen through the rising steam.

"Chairman Zhao is a man of few words, that's right. I have come here with important matters to tell you, concerning the matter you asked someone to inquire about, and... the follow-up to the attack on Taoist Master Tian Jinzhong of the Celestial Master's Mansion."

Upon hearing the words "Quanxing" and "Tian Jinzhong," Zhao Zhen's smile immediately faded, and his eyes became deep and focused.

He leaned forward slightly, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the table, making a soft, rhythmic sound. This subtle movement caught Liu Wei's eye, deepening the smile on his lips.

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

Zhao Zhen's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable weight.

"The bone-corroding needle is Yin Lin, the bone-breaking hand is Qian Lu."

Liu Wei announced two names in a slow, deliberate manner.

"These two are the culprits who attacked Master Tian that night."

Zhao Zhen nodded; this was consistent with Yu Yang's investigation findings.

"But the two of them can't touch Tian Jinzhong yet."

"really."

Liu Wei put down his teacup, leaned forward slightly, and lowered his voice.

"Besides those two, the Quanxing gang had as many as thirteen members involved in the attack on Tian Jinzhong!"

"Thirteen?"

"good."

Zhao Zhen frowned.

The Quanxing disciples have always been solitary, and even when they travel in groups, they rarely travel in such a large group.

Almost all of the collective actions of the Quanxing sect that he remembered were related to their leader, Wugensheng.

But this time, Wugensheng is clearly dead, so why are there still so many Quanxing group actions?
You have to understand, an organized Quanxing is far more dangerous than any other faction in the world of supernatural beings...

"May I ask you a question, Brother Liu?"

"Please speak freely, Mr. Zhao."

"Brother Liu had previously asked someone to remind me about Tian Jinzhong's attack. I wonder where Brother Liu got this information from."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wei burst into laughter.

"Chairman Zhao, in terms of influence and scale, my Jianghu Xiaozhan may indeed be inferior to your Nadutong."

However, we at Xiaozhan are confident that we are more sensitive to any movement in the world of supernatural beings than any other force.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, and our little shop naturally has its own channels for information, but as for the source of those channels, please don't delve into it, Chairman Zhao.

"understand."

Zhao Zhen nodded. The source of intelligence is the lifeblood of all intelligence dealers, so naturally they wouldn't just hand over their livelihood.

"Chairman Zhao, I've come today not only to give you this list of thirteen people, but also to tell you something even more important."

"whats the matter?"

"There seems to be an unusual integration taking place within Quanxing."

Liu Wei lowered his voice even further.

“In the past, when Wugensheng was alive, Quanxing was in chaos, but there was order within the chaos, which was due to Wugensheng’s personal prestige and methods.”

After Wugensheng disappeared, Quanxing should have completely fallen apart and descended into chaos.

But the truth is that recently, the activities of the Quanxing Old Demons and Fiends who have been entrenched in various places have decreased significantly, and even the frequency of trouble caused by the newly joined hotheads has also decreased.

These guys are kind of honest, it's a little scary...

Zhao Zhen frowned deeply.

He also noticed this anomaly, but the problem became even more serious after Liu Wei, the professional intelligence chief, pointed it out.

"Brother Liu, do you have any leads?"

"Not yet, but according to information gathered by our people, it seems that someone within the Quanxing sect is operating in the shadows."

"Is the attack on Tian Jinzhong related to the person you mentioned, Brother Liu?"

"It's uncertain. After all, we're investigating those lunatics from the Quanxing Sect, so our little shop doesn't dare to be too high-profile."
