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

"This is……"

"The Golden Light Mantra of the Celestial Master's Mansion?!"

Upon seeing the golden light and feeling the terrifying pressure, Xu Xiang's heart trembled: "This person's cultivation is quite high. Those people... did he kill them?"

At the same time, he realized something: "If this person really is from the Celestial Master's Mansion, then this is troublesome. Martial arts disputes are not within the company's jurisdiction..."

He has no right to arrest people!

In a flash, Xu Xiang realized something: "Wait a minute, I've never heard of such a person in the Celestial Master's Mansion. Maybe he was expelled..."

He immediately asked, "Are you... from the Celestial Master's Mansion? Would you like to contact the Celestial Master's Mansion?"

"No……"

"Just a nobody."

"really!"

Seeing this as a rare opportunity, Xu Xiang didn't want to miss it, so he nodded and said, "Alright, I can agree to your request, as long as you cooperate..."

He came out without the company's knowledge and had no authority whatsoever. Moreover, since it involved Feng Baobao, he naturally didn't want things to escalate.

"Well, I'll explain things to my apprentice then. Please, you may leave now..."

After the two left the house, Zhang Huaiyi beckoned his disciple to his side: "Xiao Chen, you've seen the situation. I don't know when I'll be able to come back. I'm leaving Chu Lan in your care."

From Mingchen's letter, Zuo Ruotong also learned a lot about the situation of this era, knowing that the "All-Knowing" behind those two was an organization used by the government to manage supernatural beings, equivalent to "supernatural police," and that they should never easily resist them...

"it is good."

"Master, is there anything else I need to do?"

Zhang Huaiyi gave him a deep look, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Xiao Chen, I know you're not the type to stay still. If I hadn't come looking for you, you wouldn't have stayed in this village all this time."

"After I leave with them, you don't need to worry about taking care of Chu Lan. Send him to the village orphanage; someone will look after him. Leave your contact information so you can come back and handle things if anything happens."

After spending these past few months together, he knew that his disciple was grateful and would definitely stay if he asked…

However, it will also affect their spiritual practice.

He is at the age where he should be adventuring and experiencing the world. In addition, he is blessed with good fortune and cannot be confined to a cage. It would be better to let him go free.

"An orphanage?"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Ruotong refused without hesitation, saying, "No, Chu Lan is still so young. I should take care of him. Even if we go out... I can take him with me."

He never intended to stay in the village forever, and he had long wanted to leave to find Lu Jin, learn about Sanyi's past, and also wanted to go back to the mountain gate.

"Don't worry, I'm here, he'll be fine."

"this……"

Zhang Huaiyi's original plan was to keep Zhang Chulan out of the martial arts world until he came of age, and even better, to let him remain an "ordinary person" who could cultivate...

  

But he also knew.

This is impossible.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't want his grandson to go to an orphanage either; it was a last resort. But looking into his disciple's clear eyes, he finally wavered...

"well……"

"If he's willing, you can do whatever you want, but there's one thing you absolutely must do: send him to school."

"These days, even people like us need to go to school."

"Yu De had already taken care of all the schooling procedures before he left, and he also asked the village chief for help. Next September, you can send him to the school in town."

"Of course, it would be best if I could return before then, so you could travel with peace of mind."

"Let's leave it at that for now!"

After giving his instructions, Zhang Huaiyi stood up and walked out of the house, saying to the two men at the door, "I'm going to check on my grandson again, then I'll go with you."

He walked in the direction of home.

Seeing this, Xu Xiang, Feng Baobao, and Zuo Ruotong followed closely behind, but he stopped them at the door: "Xiao Chen, you wait at the door too."

"it is good."

After Zhang Huaiyi entered the room, Zuo Ruotong looked at the two of them again. Speaking of Xu Xiang alone, judging from his age and cultivation, he could be considered one of the best among his peers.

As for Feng Baobao...

He activated his innate ability once more, and upon closer inspection, he was once again awestruck; such a phenomenon was unlike anything found in the mortal world…

"They should be 'celestial beings'!"

"Um?"

Noticing someone watching her, Feng Baobao looked over as well, then whispered, "Xu Xiang, why do I feel... there's something strange about this person?"

"Strange? How so?"

Xu Xiang glanced at Zuo Ruotong and felt that the boy was exceptionally talented and had amazing cultivation, but he couldn't see anything else.

"I don't know, it's just a feeling..."

"It's like there are 'two people'."

"?!"

Although the two lowered their voices, Zuo Ruotong still heard them and her heart skipped a beat: "She can tell what's wrong with me?"

"How is this possible?!"

In terms of cultivation, eyesight, and perception of life, the Sanyi Sect has many experts, yet none of them could detect Mingchen's soul, let alone Zhang Huaiyi, whose cultivation is almost at its peak, who also could not see it.

"What is this girl's background?" he wondered.

Fortunately, the other party seemed to only be able to sense a few signs, but couldn't explain why. After listening intently for a while, Zuo Ruotong breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew her gaze.

For him, the most important thing right now is the matter of the Trinity Sect; he needs to find out the situation as soon as possible...

"If both sides are true..."

"Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad."

A moment later...

The door opened, and Zhang Huaiyi came out: "Gentlemen, let's go."

"Xiao Chen, I'll leave Chu Lan to you."

"Don't worry, Master!"

Watching the three disappear from sight, Zuo Ruotong went inside. Zhang Chulan then emerged from the bedroom.

"Brother Chen..."

"Is Grandpa not coming back?"

It was clear that he had just been crying; his eyes were red. Zuo Ruotong immediately comforted him, "Don't worry, your grandfather will come back. They won't do anything to him."

"But the way Grandpa looked just now, it was like he was never coming back. He was saying strange things too. I'm a little scared..."

"..."

Zuo Ruotong's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had noticed something. She sensed that Zhang Huaiyi's departure carried a resolute air. After a moment's thought, her eyes suddenly widened:

"Could it be?!"

"Chu Lan, wait for me at home, I'll be right back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out of the house and headed in the direction where the three had disappeared, while simultaneously activating his innate ability to detect the presence of the three.

"So fast?!"

He then noticed that Feng Baobao and Zhang Huaiyi's presence was already faintly visible, disappearing at a speed far beyond his current comprehension, and immediately understood:

"He doesn't want me to catch up!"

Zuo Ruotong could roughly guess why Zhang Huaiyi did this, and he understood one thing—Zhang Chulan's feeling was right!

His departure...

I'm afraid they won't be coming back!

He immediately thought of Mingchen's letter, which mentioned Zhang Huaiyi's "will to die," and he had had the same feeling before. If it was the same this time...

"Something terrible is about to happen!"
