Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 373: An ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade in his arms

"Yes, I owe you so many favors that I can't even remember how many I owe you now..."

Zhang Zhiwei chuckled, a slight smile finally appearing on his face.

Although Zhao Zhen knew that his preoccupied appearance was definitely not just because of the passing of the old Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing, everyone has their own secrets. Since Zhang Zhiwei was unwilling to talk about it, she would not press him for details.

"Where is Huaiyi? Has he already left?"

Zhao Zhen lowered his voice and whispered in Zhang Zhiwei's ear.

"No, I arranged for him to stay in the side hall. I can't leave here for the time being, so I asked Jinzhong to look after him."

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head.

"Okay, I'll go find him."

"what happened?"

"There are some things I want to ask him. Don't worry, I won't do anything to him."

After saying this, Zhao Zhen walked slowly toward the side hall under Zhang Zhiwei's gaze.

Meanwhile, inside the side hall.

Zhang Huaiyi and Tian Jinzhong were sitting on the ground, staring at each other, but neither of them spoke.

Finally, Zhang Huaiyi could no longer endure the "cold violence" from Tian Jinzhong, so he took the initiative to speak and break the silence.

"Jinzhong, if Senior Brother doesn't understand, don't you understand me? I can't stay on the mountain. If I stay, I'll only bring endless trouble to my fellow disciples on the mountain!"

I've already hurt you once, so I really don't want this tragedy to happen again!

Tian Jinzhong didn't speak; he just gave Zhang Huaiyi across from him a deep look.

After a long while, he finally spoke with a resentful look: "You and my senior brother both went to the Fenhe Valley to see Master one last time, why did you keep it from me and not let me go with you?"

"No, you should ask Senior Brother Zhiwei about that! It's not like I'm stopping you from going down the mountain!"

A look of speechlessness flashed across Zhang Huaiyi's face.

Although he did feel guilty about telling Tian Jinzhong that secret, which led to Tian Jinzhong's death, he really didn't want to get involved in that matter at all!

"Forget it, he's a Taoist master now, how could I dare to ask him?"

Tian Jinzhong replied angrily.

"Then can you let me down the mountain?"

"No, the Celestial Master told me to keep an eye on you."

"you……"

Zhang Huaiyi was almost speechless with anger.

If this drags on, once his senior brother Zhang Zhiwei has finished dealing with the funeral arrangements for their master and is free to handle things, will he still be able to go down the mountain?
Zhang Huaiyi naturally already knew the answer to this question.

Even now that he has obtained the Qi Source Flow, he has never believed that he has a chance to defeat his senior brother.

Just as Zhang Huaiyi was thinking to himself whether he should just knock Jinzhong out and then try to sneak down the mountain, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Is someone coming?"

Tian Jinzhong and Zhang Huaiyi exchanged a glance, both seeing the wariness in each other's eyes.

Zhang Huaiyi's current status is special; to outsiders, he is still one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, hated by everyone.

With so many sects attending the funeral of the Celestial Master today, if it is discovered that Zhang Huaiyi, who possesses one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, the Qi Body Source Flow, is in Longhu Mountain, it will inevitably cause another disturbance.

Although Zhang Huaiyi was strong enough, he was not afraid of those who coveted his Qi Source Flow.

But this is Longhu Mountain after all, and moreover, today is his own master's funeral. Unless absolutely necessary, he absolutely does not want to get into a fight with others at his master's funeral.

"Heqian, go and see who it is. If it's not your master, stop them immediately."

"Yes, Uncle Tian."

Sun Heqian respectfully clasped his hands in greeting, but the moment he stepped out of the side hall, a hint of unease flashed in his eyes.

"He Qian? What are you daydreaming about! Is that your master?" "No."

Sun Heqian shook his head with a bitter expression.

"If not, stop them!"

"Um... Uncle Tian, ​​I..."

Just as Tian Jinzhong was about to lose his temper, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from outside the hall.

"In Jinzhong, all who come are guests. How can a host turn away a guest?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Jinzhong was also taken aback.

"Director Zhao?"

Outside the door, Zhao Zhen stepped in with a smile on his face.

After seeing that Tian Jinzhong was the only person in the side hall, he turned his gaze to the beam behind him.

"Huaiyi, what's wrong? You don't even want to see me anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huaiyi smiled wryly and slowly emerged from the shadows behind Liang Zhu.

"Greetings, Chairman Zhao..."

"Alright, don't stand on ceremony with me."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, then turned his gaze to Sun Heqian, who was standing to the side.

"Heqian, go and keep watch outside. Don't let anyone in except your master. I have something to talk to your two uncles."

It seems that Uncle Tian said the same thing just now...

After silently complaining to himself, Sun Heqian obediently listened to Zhao Zhen and went out to guard the gate.

After Sun Heqian left, only Zhao Zhen, Tian Jinzhong, and Zhang Huaiyi remained in the side hall.

"I could feel the resentment filling this hall from a great distance. Jinzhong, are you still complaining that your senior brother won't let you go down the mountain?"

"I do not have……"

Tian Jinzhong answered with a somewhat evasive gaze.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Zhen smiled slightly.

“Your senior brother has his reasons for not letting you go down the mountain. Since it’s convenient for him to say it to your face, I will speak frankly.”

"Jinzhong, listen up. The reason Old Zhang won't let you go down the mountain is because you're too weak."

Upon hearing this, Tian Jinzhong was immediately stunned.

"The saying goes, 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!' From the moment Huaiyi chose to tell you that secret, you could no longer remain uninvolved!"

In some ways, your situation is no different from Huaiyi's, who possesses the Eight Extraordinary Skills! No, to be precise, your situation is even more dangerous than his!

"why?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Tian Jinzhong's eyes.

"No matter how reckless Zhang Huaiyi is, he at least has the ability to protect himself, but you don't. That's the real reason why your senior brother won't let you go down the mountain!"

After hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Tian Jinzhong fell into a long silence.

Looking at the silent Tian Jinzhong, a hint of guilt flashed in Zhang Huaiyi's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Jinzhong, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have told you that secret, and dragged you into it too..."

Faced with Zhang Huaiyi's apology, Tian Jinzhong slowly shook his head.

"It's not your fault. After all, I forced you to tell me. To be honest, it's all my own fault."

After saying that, Tian Jinzhong turned his gaze back to Zhao Zhen, who was standing to the side.
