Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 5 Long Cry of the Wild Dried Man
Dusk was falling, and it was getting dark.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, several dark shadows flashed past the eaves at incredible speed, startling a flock of crows.

Zhao Zhen turned her head and glanced at the two people chasing closely behind her, her brows furrowing deeply.

"What methods did these two guys use? I've changed directions four or five times, and they still managed to catch up with me."

"You little bastard, if you've got the guts, don't try to run away. Don't wait until your Grandpa Yuan catches you, or he'll definitely break your legs!"

Yuan Jingui shouted while panting heavily.

Even if he was unwilling to admit it, the facts were right in front of him.

Master Jin Guang's disciple is incredibly fast; he's like a half-grown child who can outrun a wolf. His stamina is simply phenomenal.

Zhao Zhen didn't reply, but instead fired another shot, employing a "guerrilla" tactic.

boom!
This time, the bullets did not hit anyone. Yuan Jingui and Da Han were both extraordinary individuals. They were shot earlier only because they were careless and did not take Zhao Zhen, this young upstart, seriously, which allowed Zhao Zhen to launch a sneak attack.

Now that we were prepared, we could easily dodge the bullets by simply turning slightly to the side.

“Little one, you really don’t need to run. We are friends with the Master and won’t make things difficult for you.”

The big man was also a little out of breath. With his abilities, tracking Zhao Zhen's location was naturally not a problem, but whether he could catch up was really only a matter of time.

"Are you kidding me? Do you really think I'm a three-year-old?"

Zhao Zhen muttered something to himself, then turned and fired another shot.

Although they still failed to hit anyone, the feeling of frustration made Yuan Jingui and the other person feel like they were going to vomit blood.

You can't touch him, you can't catch him, and if you're not careful, this brat might shoot you from somewhere. After being a member of Quanxing for so many years, this is the first time I've encountered such a frustrating battle.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was still full of energy and showed no signs of slowing down after nearly an hour of chasing, the big man finally began to give in.

"Stop, stop, stop, I give up, little guy, I really give up. Don't worry, we won't do anything to you, we just want to ask you about your master's whereabouts."

"Old Wen, you..."

Yuan Jingui's face was rather grim. If he just let it go like this, wouldn't all the bullets he took earlier have been for nothing?
"Old Yuan, go ahead and chase after him if you want. I'm not going to waste my time here with you."

"Leaving aside the kid's amazing speed, just consider the Master's Golden Escape Technique. If he really learns it, even if we catch up, what can we do to him?"

Yuan Jingui gritted his teeth. Although he was still a little unwilling, he knew that what Lao Wen said was indeed true.

"Damn it! You little bastard, stop running, we're not chasing you anymore!"

Seeing that the two of them had stopped, Zhao Zhen also stopped on the roof.

"Are you the old man's friends?"

Zhao Zhen raised an eyebrow, and while asking about the two people's identities, the talisman was already between his fingertips.

As I always say, if anything goes wrong, he'll make a hasty retreat!

"Yes, Wen Liangong."

"Yuan Jingui!"

Yuan Jingui frowned and spoke with a displeased expression.

“Yuan Jingui? Changming Yegan?” Zhao Zhen tilted his head.

At this moment, Zhao Zhen finally understood why the weasel-faced middle-aged man looked somewhat familiar.

Yuan Jingui, Yuan Tao's father, was nicknamed Changming Yegan.

"Wild Gander" is the name of an animal, also known as "Shegan". It resembles a fox but is slightly smaller, with a bluish-yellow fur. It walks like a pack of dogs and howls like a wolf at night.

"Wild dung sings" is a Zen Buddhist term that refers to someone who has not attained enlightenment talking nonsense and deceiving others.

This nickname generally means that this person likes to talk nonsense, sow discord, and harm others; it is commonly known as a "troublemaker."

Looking at it today, it seems extremely apt. No wonder people always say that there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.

"Tsk, I didn't expect you to have such a big reputation, Lao Yuan."

Wen Liangong spoke with a mocking look in his eyes.

"roll roll roll."

Yuan Jingui rolled his eyes; he knew, of course, that Wen Liangong was mocking him. "Hahaha, little guy, what's your name?"

"Zhao Zhen."

"Surname Zhao? Is the Venerable One's original surname Zhao?" Wen Liangong was slightly taken aback.

"Who knows? You know perfectly well that the Master never reveals his name to us."

"How did you know I know the old man?" Zhao Zhen then asked.

He was certain that he had never seen these two people before, nor had he ever used the Golden Escape Technique in front of outsiders. So how did they know about his lineage?

This is very important. If you don't understand this, it will be troublesome if someone recognizes your lineage and you are mistaken for a member of the Quanxing sect.

Although Zhao Zhen was not afraid of trouble, he did not want to become a pariah for no reason, hated by everyone.

"The talisman between your fingers." Wen Liangong pointed to the yellow talisman on Zhao Zhen's fingertip.

“That’s a special talisman that the Master used when he used the Golden Escape Flowing Light technique. I’ve seen him use it before, so I recognized it at a glance in the dense forest.”

"Oh……"

Zhao Zhen nodded nonchalantly on the surface, but inwardly he couldn't help but want to slap himself.

How could I forget such an obvious flaw?
I still lack experience in the ways of the world...

"Do you need to see the old man?"

"Well, I need someone's help with something."

"Then you're too late. The old man left me alone a couple of days ago and went off to enjoy his retirement."

Upon hearing this, both Yuan Jingui and Wen Liangong were slightly taken aback.

They had anticipated that Master Jin Guang's whereabouts were unpredictable, and they had only come here hoping to try their luck and see if they could run into him.

What truly surprised them was that the master who cherished his disciple so much was actually willing to let him venture out on his own.
You know, judging from Zhao Zhen's age, he should be at most eleven or twelve years old, right?
Is he really not afraid that this kid will die out there? Or is he so confident that this kid is at least able to protect himself?
However, after thinking about Master Jin Guang's special skills, the two quickly felt relieved.

That's true. If this kid has already mastered the Golden Escape Technique, there really aren't many people in the world who can kill him head-on.

"Young brother, since you are the successor of the Master, you must also know the Master's signature technique, Golden Escape Flowing Light, right?"

"Who knows?" Zhao Zhen shrugged.

"Hey, brat, I advise you to be more polite. If we're really talking about it, we're all your master's friends, and you could say we're your elders!" Yuan Jingui shouted.

"elder?"

Zhao Zhen chuckled, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"If you truly cared about the so-called seniority and hierarchy, how could you possibly have joined the Quanxing Sect?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Wen Liangong's eyes.

He originally thought that Zhao Zhen was well protected by Master Jin Guang, and being a novice with little experience in the world, he should be easy to fool.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

"It seems your master has mentioned Quanxing to you."

"Let me be frank, I have no interest in your Quanxing sect, so I advise you to stop bothering me, otherwise..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zhen pointed to the army camp not far behind him.

"That's the artillery battalion of that so-called General Li."

"So what? Little thing, you don't think we're afraid of Commander Li, do you?" Yuan Jingui smiled disdainfully.

They are aliens and could easily escape the bombardment zone before the artillery battalion can pinpoint their location.

Unless their location is known in advance and they are bombarded with artillery, Yuan Jingui really doesn't take any cannons seriously.

Faced with Yuan Jingui's sarcastic remarks, Zhao Zhen instead revealed an "innocent" smile.

"No, no, no, what I mean is, if you don't want tons of shells to explode in front of you in the next second, you'd better stay away from me, understand?"
