Under One Person: Did Zuo Ruotong and I switch bodies?

"Let's go from the back!"

Seeing that the other party had approached, Zuo Ruotong tried to help Zhang Huaiyi away, but he waved his hand:

"Need not."

If the other party's identity is truly as he suspects, then given his current situation, he probably can't escape. If he blindly resists, he might even implicate his apprentice and grandson.

"They shouldn't be pursuers..."

"Let's meet first and then talk."

Since that was the decision, Zuo Ruotong didn't say anything more. She quietly circulated her inner energy, walked to the door with a cautious heart, and opened it.

crunch--

The next moment, a middle-aged man and a young girl came into view. He then activated his innate ability, and when he saw the aura rising from the girl, his pupils shrank.

"This is?!"

This was the most magnificent spectacle Zuo Ruotong had ever seen. Its myriad forms resembled the vastness of heaven and earth, and the profound aura it exuded was unmatched even by major sects like Sanyi and Longhu. Yet, it manifested itself in a young girl.

  

"How is this possible!"

Moreover, in that fleeting glance, he discovered a part of the myriad phenomena that closely resembled the "Source of Qi," but before he could examine it closely, the middle-aged man spoke:

"Gentlemen, what happened in the woods...?"

"Is this related to you?"

His name is Xu Xiang, and he is the head of the North China region of NaDuTong. The girl next to him is Feng Baobao.

A few days ago, he received news that some renowned seniors from various sects and factions had recently gathered together without the knowledge of their disciples and relatives. Judging from their movements, it seemed they were chasing after something...

Over the years, he had been investigating Feng Baobao's background and keeping a close eye on these elderly supernatural beings. When he saw them make any unusual moves, he immediately drew up a route map, locked down their next destination, and rushed over.

But I never expected it.

I witnessed such a terrifying scene!

Since it concerns Feng Baobao, Xu Xiang had no choice but to come, even though it might be dangerous. Bringing Feng Baobao along was also out of necessity... What if she could remember something?

To the surprise of the three people at the door, when Zhang Huaiyi saw Feng Baobao's face clearly, his eyes widened and he actually shouted:

"Feng, Feng Baobao!"

Zuo Ruotong immediately turned her head.

Xu Xiang and Feng Baobao also looked over in surprise.

"Master, do you know this person?"

Following Zhang Huaiyi's gaze, Zuo Ruotong pointed at Feng Baobao but did not move aside. He was still unsure why the two had come.

Before he could respond, Feng Baobao excitedly exclaimed, "Grandpa, you know me?!"

"You really are... Feng Baobao?" Zhang Huaiyi looked her over carefully. "Yes, you are! How could I mistake you... You haven't changed at all in all these decades..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiang couldn't help but speak up: "This old man really knows you!"

He was overjoyed.

We made the right choice this time!

The next moment, Feng Baobao ignored Zuo Ruotong's obstruction, pushed him aside and rushed over. The force was so great that even though he was prepared, he still staggered.

"This power..."

"This girl is no ordinary person!"

In that instantaneous contact, he could feel the two nascent souls in his mind move simultaneously, as if they were resonating with each other, indicating that there really was something about this girl that was related to the "Qi Body Source Flow"...

Plus, Zhang Huaiyi knew her...

"Is he a descendant of the past?"

At this moment, Feng Baobao had rushed to Zhang Huaiyi's side, urgently grabbing his shoulders: "Tell me! Who am I! Please! Tell me! Where are my family! My past! Anything is fine!"

"..."

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Zhang Huaiyi calmed down, stared at her in silence for a long while, and then slowly said, "I'm sorry, child, I can't tell you right now..."

If he could have said that he had told her when he and Yingzi were taking care of her, then why would she have lost her memory until now?

"Why?!"

Feng Baobao became even more agitated: "Grandpa! Please tell me! I haven't had a single family member all these years! I don't even know who I am! I don't want to live like this anymore!"

Looking at her anxious and pained face, Zhang Huaiyi sighed and said helplessly, "Child, forgive me, it's not that I don't want to say it, but that I can't... I'm sorry."

Seeing this, Xu Xiang also walked in, scrutinizing him with a critical eye: "You clearly know Bao Bao and know something, yet you say 'I can't say.' Are you under some kind of restriction?"

"If I had the means, I could help you untie it, as long as..."

"Ha, restrictions? Even 'his' restrictions can't stop me, so what restrictions in this world can possibly restrain me?"

If there is anything to be said, it might be the "Celestial Master's Blessing" of one's sect, but it is something that one is destined never to bear.

Zhang Huaiyi shook his head and smiled.

His expression was complicated.

Then he looked at Xu Xiang: "I can see that you care about Feng Baobao, which is lucky for her. But I have to remind you, don't try to find out more about her background. It won't do you any good, and it might even harm you..."

"And you don't actually need to search, because one day, when the time is right, everything will come to light, and she will know everything..."

"Just wait patiently."

"..."

Why should I believe you?

Seeing that he wouldn't say anything and was just playing coy, Xu Xiang lost his patience: "I don't know what your relationship with the baby is, or what you've done or had in the past, but I can't just watch the baby suffer..."

As he spoke, he took out his identification.

"I am the head of the North China region for NaDuTong. We suspect you are involved in the deaths of several prominent figures and need to bring you back to the company for investigation. Please cooperate."

Since this guy won't talk, let's control him first and then figure out a solution.

"Gentlemen, are you about to make a move?"

Seeing that he was showing hostility, Zuo Ruotong flashed behind him, her arms turning into white energy, and grabbed his shoulders directly.

Without turning his head, Xu Xiang flicked his fingers, and invisible threads of Qi wrapped around him...

"Reversed in eight directions?"

Sensing this familiar technique, Zuo Ruotong did not change his moves. With a thought, invisible threads also rose up, all created by the Qi of Reversal.

The threads of the two collided instantly, intertwining in the air. With the support of the reverse force, Zuo Ruotong's was clearly stronger, and she defeated her opponent in the blink of an eye, grabbing his shoulders with both hands.

"Um?!"

Seeing that the kid was so young, Xu Xiang thought he would be easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that the kid would also be able to "reverse eight directions" and was even stronger than him!

But just as Zuo Ruotong was about to subdue him, Zhang Huaiyi shouted, "Alright, Xiao Chen, let him go..."

"Master?"

Zhang Huaiyi knew very well that while this guy was easy to deal with, the "company" behind him was not. For the sake of his grandson, he didn't want to antagonize the company, at least not before figuring out the situation...

Since I've been spared...

Let's make the most of our remaining energy.

"I'll go with you..."

He looked calmly at Xu Xiang and slowly said, "But there's one condition: you can't harm my disciples or my family again, otherwise..."

He raised his hand.

Golden light bursts forth!
