Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 401 You've joined Quanxing too?

In the crowd, an old man dressed in coarse cloth was smiling at him.

"It's you?"

Li Muxuan let out a soft "hmm".

Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, he recognized the old man in front of him at a glance.

The chairman of NaDuTong... no, I should say the former chairman—Zhao Zhen!
"Brother Li, it's been a long time."

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and nodded to Li Muxuan.

"Yeah, long time no see."

A hint of emotion flashed in Li Muxuan's eyes.

More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, haven't they?

The "bad boy" from back then has now grown old and frail.

"Aren't you going to invite me up the mountain for a while?"

Li Muxuan was slightly taken aback, but after realizing what was happening, he still smiled and turned to greet him:
"Tianyi, Liu Ya, come and help me with this. I need to take an old friend up the mountain."

"Yes, Uncle Li."

After explaining everything, Li Muxuan led Zhao Zhen up the mountain.

On the way, Zhao Zhen glanced at Li Muxuan beside her with great interest, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

"I see all the Sanyi disciples call you 'Master Uncle'? When did you officially become a member of the Sanyi Sect?"

"Join the Trinity? I'd like to, but what qualifications do I have?"

As he spoke, a bitter smile appeared on Li Muxuan's lips.

"It's just that after spending a long time in the sect, the newly joined disciples will start calling me 'Uncle-Master'."

Of course, I didn't refute them either~

"It seems you really enjoy it when they call you 'Master Uncle'?"

"Haha, who says it's not?"

Li Muxuan laughed heartily, but that cheerful smile couldn't hide the loneliness in his heart.

"Alright, since the past is the past, let's not dwell on it anymore."

Now that you're the esteemed Third Martial Uncle, isn't that great?

"Yes, that's good... It's just a pity that Master Zuo can't see it..."

Upon hearing the words "Left Gate Master," not only Li Muxuan but also Zhao Zhen, who was standing to the side, fell silent.

"And you? What have you been up to lately? I heard you resigned from your position as chairman of NaDuTong?"

"When you get old and can't work anymore, it's natural for a person to give up their position and let a younger person take it."

"Old people should step down? Only someone like you, Zhao Zhen, would think that way."

"Haha, it's truly rare to hear a compliment from you, you 'bad kid'!"

Do you still remember more than twenty years ago, when you were always thinking about how to kill me?

"When I was young and ignorant, I was reckless and almost made a big mistake."

Fortunately, you pulled me back from the brink, preventing me from making an irreparable mistake.

Li Muxuan would never forget the kindness he received in taking him in years to come.

After hearing these words, Zhao Zhen slowly waved his hand.

"I told you long ago that I intervened not only to help you, but also to fulfill Master Zuo's last wish."

"Speaking of accepting favors, coincidentally, I came to the Sanyi Sect with the same purpose."

"You also want to collect offerings?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Muxuan's eyes.

I thought only someone like me, Li Muxuan, would join the Quanxing Sect. I never expected that you, Zhao Zhen, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also join the Quanxing Sect?
Just kidding, of course Li Muxuan wouldn't think that way. Not only would the Quanxing sect not tolerate someone as powerful as Zhao Zhen, but even if Zhao Zhen wanted to join, the former leader of the Quanxing sect had already issued a decree—forbidding Zhao Zhen from joining!
"Yes, when I was in that position before, no matter what mistakes I made, I would use the excuse that everything I did was for a better future to numb myself."

"To blend in with the world"... Haha, that sounds nice, but it's just a high-sounding excuse for the mistakes I've made.

Ironically, from the very first day I met Master Zuo, he taught me a single word—honesty.

When I was young, I was arrogant and thought that as long as I had a clear conscience, I deserved the word "honesty".

But when you look back, you realize that a mistake is a mistake, and no matter how high-sounding your excuses are, it won't make a difference.

What do you mean by having a clear conscience? If your conscience is clouded, naturally you won't get any response no matter how you ask...

Li Muxuan didn't speak, but listened quietly from the side.

Compared to more than a decade ago, Zhao Zhen has indeed changed a lot.

Perhaps it's because of his advanced age, or perhaps it's because he stepped down as chairman of NaDuTong?
Li Muxuan didn't know the exact reason, but the only thing he was clear about was that Zhao Zhen's current level was beyond his reach.

Now, Zhao Zhen is starting to remind him more and more of Zuo Ruotong, the "Daying Immortal" from back then!
"So, you came up the mountain to see the sect leader, right?"

"Ah."

Zhao Zhen nodded, without denying it.

"Brother Wu, how have you been these past few years?"

"Ever since Lu Jin sent him back to the sect, the sect leader has locked himself in his room all day and rarely goes out."

He no longer paid much attention to even the affairs within the sect.

"That's why, after Lu Jin left, my Uncle Li was able to become well-known among the disciples..."

"Is it……"

Zhao Zhen murmured softly, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.

"Back then, the sect leader's rebellious cultivation was crippled by the Quanxing Sect. You must have been involved in that, right?"

"Did you guess it?"

"Well, after all, what are the chances of such a coincidence in the world?"
However, I understand you. I know that you did this simply because you didn't want the sect leader to continue going astray and cause the entire Trinity Sect to perish along with him..."

As a former fan of Wugensheng, Li Muxuan was well aware of the extent of Wugensheng's danger.

If Wu Chengzhen continues to pursue Wu Gengsheng relentlessly, then as the leader of the Sanyi Sect, he will one day drag the Sanyi Sect into an abyss of no return!

"I tried to dissuade the sect leader back then, but he insisted on going anyway, sigh..."

As he spoke, Li Muxuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"arrive."

Suddenly, Li Muxuan stopped and pointed to the room in front of him.

"This is the gatekeeper's room."

Zhao Zhen glanced at the wooden door in front of him with a complicated expression, then slowly stepped forward and gently knocked three times.

dong dong dong~
"Who?"

Inside the room, an aged voice slowly rang out.

"Senior Brother Wu, it's me, Zhao Zhen."

After he finished speaking, the room fell into a long, deathly silence.

Several minutes later, with a creak, the wooden door in front of Zhao Zhen was slowly pushed open.

In front of him, an elderly man with a hunched back and a full head of white hair stepped out.
