Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 38 Where did I get this?
"You met someone, who?"

A hint of suspicion flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes.

Could this old man have encountered that top-tier "succubus"?
"You've met this person before; he's the leader of our Quanxing Sect—Wugensheng."

Upon hearing this, a look of "I knew it" flashed across Zhao Zhen's face.

"You brat, you don't seem surprised at all?"

"I've dealt with this Wugensheng before, this man..."

At this point, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong? What's your opinion on Wugensheng?"

"I wouldn't call it an opinion, but after getting to know him, I've found him to be a bit troublesome," Zhao Zhen shook his head.

"Trouble? What do you mean?" Duan Chuan narrowed his eyes.

"I don't deny that this person has a strong personal charm and lives a very insightful life."

But if he can remain lucid as he is now, that's fine. However, if he ever breaks down, it will be a disaster for everyone who is close to him.

Duan Chuan frowned, genuinely puzzled by Zhao Zhen's cryptic words.

"You've only met Wugensheng twice, right? How come you seem to know him so well?"

"Two sides?"

Zhao Zhen took a sip of tea and glanced at Duan Chuan with interest.

"Old man, how do you know I've met Wugensheng twice? So, in the end, it was you who killed Liu Wanshan?"

Duan Chuan smiled slightly without giving any answer, but this was tantamount to acquiescing.

"I knew it! Why did Liu Wanshan die so suspiciously? Turns out you really were the one who did it."

So, for the past five years, you haven't been secretly following me, have you?

"Where would I find so much free time? I've just had friends in the industry helping to keep an eye on you."

However, I did kill Liu Wanshan, and Wu Gengsheng found me before I even made a move. When I did kill him, Wu Gengsheng was even right beside me.

"He went with you? He also participated?" A hint of doubt flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes.

"No, he's the sect leader. How could he possibly help me kill other sect members? He was just watching from the sidelines the whole time." Duan Chuan shook his head.

"He just stood by and watched you kill Liu Wanshan?"

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen suddenly felt a complex mix of emotions.

"Old man, tell me, is Wugensheng around here right now?"

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Duan Chuan's eyes.

"How did you know? I've heard you've been learning various skills from different people over the years, but I never imagined you'd also learned fortune-telling?"

"Old man, where is Wugensheng? I want to see him! Right now!"

Seeing the unusually serious expression on Zhao Zhen's face, Duan Chuan's smile also froze slightly.

"what happened?"

Zhao Zhen didn't speak, but stared intently at Duan Chuan.

"Alright, I was originally planning to meet you first and then go find the sect leader to join me. Since you insist on seeing him, then come with me."

After saying that, Duan Chuan reached out and grabbed Zhao Zhen's shoulder.

As he flicked out a golden talisman from his fingertips, the two figures instantly transformed into a beam of golden light and vanished from the teahouse.

……

In Liuhe Town, dozens of miles away.

Wugensheng, holding a candied hawthorn skewer, asked Gu Jiting beside him, "Little Gu, want a bite? This candied hawthorn skewer is quite sweet." "No, thank you. I don't really like sweet things," Gu Jiting shook his head and refused.

"Sect Leader, weren't you quite interested in that Zhao Zhen? Why don't we go with the Venerable Master this time?"

Wugensheng took a big bite of hawthorn and replied while chewing, "Personally, I really wanted to be friends with him, but after these two encounters, I found that he seemed to be very resistant to me, so there's nothing I can do."

Ultimately, people need to reciprocate with sincerity; it's pointless to keep trying to win someone's heart only to be met with indifference.

At this point, Wugensheng smiled slightly.

"Moreover, our main target during this period is the Master, so naturally we should prioritize the Master's arrangements."

"Didn't you realize? The reason the Master had us wait for him here instead of inviting us to meet his disciple was simply because he didn't want Zhao Zhen to have too much contact with us Quanxing members."

"Putting everything else aside, the Master truly cherishes his disciple," Gu Jiting remarked.

"Haha, if I had a disciple who could get the Celestial Master and the Great Ying Immortal to vouch for him in front of many righteous leaders, I would definitely cherish him dearly."

"Unfortunately, although the Master wanted Zhao Zhen to sever ties with Quanxing, in fact, from the very beginning, those righteous sects were destined never to truly accept Zhao Zhen."

By doing this, isn't he putting Zhao Zhen in an awkward position, somewhere between right and wrong?

"That is one of the reasons why the Master asked me for help."

"Ah, the love of a parent for their child is so deep..."

Just as Gu Jiting was sighing, a golden light suddenly shone in front of the two of them.

When the golden light dissipated, Zhao Zhen and Duan Chuan appeared before the two of them.

"It's you?"

Upon seeing Zhao Zhen beside Duan Chuan, a look of surprise flashed in Gu Qiting's eyes.

Didn't they say they didn't want us to have any contact with Zhao Zhen? How come this Golden Light Master is bringing Zhao Zhen to them on his own initiative?
Unlike Gu Jiting's surprise, Wugensheng merely looked at Zhao Zhen with interest.

"Brother Zhao, what a coincidence, we meet again."

"Sect Leader, I'm sorry, but this brat insisted on coming to see you this time, and I couldn't persuade him otherwise, so I brought him along."

As he spoke, a hint of helplessness flashed across Duan Chuan's face.

Zhao Zhen could tell that his old man treated Wugensheng with great respect.

"It's alright, Venerable Master, it's alright. I am naturally delighted that Brother Zhao has taken the initiative to come to me. So, may I ask what brings Brother Zhao to see me?"

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath, slowly walked to Wu Gengsheng, and took the initiative to put his right hand on Wu Gengsheng's shoulder.

Swish!
A sudden burst of golden light shone, and in the next instant, the two disappeared from Duan Chuan and Gu Jiting's sight.

"..."

The air suddenly fell into deathly silence.

Duan Chuan and Gu Jiting, who remained where they were, looked at each other blankly, opened their mouths, but didn't know what to say for a long time.

"Master, what...does this mean?"

Duan Chuan remained silent for a long time, and finally rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"I have no idea what this brat is up to..."

"Master, can you sense where they have disappeared to?"

"No, the Golden Escape Flowing Light technique is special as a kind of escape method. Moreover, this brat's skill in the Golden Escape Flowing Light technique is probably already on par with mine."

Duan Chuan shook his head, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away in a forest, Wugensheng looked around blankly.

"Wait, where did you put this?"
