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

Zhang Huaiyi had no choice but to admit it.

My apprentice is right.

My actions were indeed risky and ill-considered. The consequences of killing the company's regional head were far greater than those of those veterans.

He wasn't actually unaware of these things, but given his current situation, he didn't know what the best course of action was. Killing the person and then moving to another place to hide under an assumed name was the best solution he could think of.

this problem.

He had thought about it countless times in his mind.

Ultimately, there is only one answer, which is why I am so resolute.

But at this moment...

Chu Lan's single word "Grandpa" easily shattered his resolve. All the memories of his grandson flooded back, and he wavered instantly.

"Chu Lan..."

"Grandpa misses you too."

At this moment, Zuo Ruotong retrieved the phone: "So Master, as long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood. On the path of cultivation, until we truly reach the end, until this body has disintegrated, who can truly predict what the future holds?"

"No matter how much time you have left, no matter how slim the hope, everything is still uncertain. Even if it's not for yourself, but only for Chu Lan, how can you give up?"

"You dare to pave the way with your own flesh and blood."

"Aren't you afraid to take a chance on the future?"

Strive for a "future"!

These words were not only spoken to Zhang Huaiyi, but also to himself. After realizing that "changing the past" had no impact on the "future," Zuo Ruotong was left with only one path: "taking a gamble"...

This is why he approached Lu Jin so urgently, wanting to rebuild Sany.

Especially after figuring out why "himself" had lost his power, he, who already possessed a Nascent Soul, became even more confident. And this confidence was given to him by Zhang Huaiyi, so how could he watch him give up?

As long as we can still move forward...

Then let's move forward...

This is true cultivation!

"..."

"You little rascal..."

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Huaiyi lowered his head, a complex smile on his face: "I don't know where I got the good fortune to take you as my disciple."

  

The apprentice was reprimanding his master, and doing so as if it were perfectly justified, which made him somewhat confused, unable to distinguish who was the master and who was the apprentice.

"That's true..."

"I am merely a teacher, not someone who imparts knowledge or answers questions. You already have your own path, and it is more steadfast than mine."

"On this point..."

"I am not as good as you."

After saying that, Zhang Huaiyi let out a long sigh of relief, and suddenly understood many things.

He was, after all, a spiritual practitioner. When he stepped out of the quagmire that had trapped him for so long and looked at things from the perspective of a spiritual practitioner, everything became clear.

Yes.

While he is still alive and his lifespan has not yet ended, his cultivation is enough to make him a force to be reckoned with in the martial world. Even if the news of the "Qi Body Source Flow" really spreads out, who can do anything to him or Chu Lan?

In the world of martial arts, strength is ultimately what matters.

As for the issue of lifespan, it shouldn't be considered. Just live one day at a time and cultivate for one day. As long as you always walk on your own path, that's enough.

This is true spiritual practice.

The last and most crucial question is—what should Chu Lan do when he dies?

He was very confused in the past.

Now we have the answer.

With such a disciple, whose talent, temperament, and virtue are all extraordinary, what do I have to worry about?

Zhang Huaiyi suddenly understood.

He laughed.

That's how people are. No matter how talented or intelligent they are, when they are blinded by a leaf or trapped in a mountain, they can't see the whole picture.

This is precisely where his comprehension is manifested. Someone with such exceptional comprehension as him only needs a little guidance to extricate himself from the predicament.

"Alright..."

At this moment, Zhang Huaiyi felt an unprecedented sense of relief: "Don't worry, kid. Take good care of Chu Lan. I'll be waiting for you here."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and looked up at Xu Xiang and the other person: "I'm sorry, I've changed my mind. I can't tell you about Feng Baobao's background yet..."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Baobao immediately became agitated, grabbing his shoulders and shouting, "Didn't you promise to tell me? How could you go back on your word!"

Xu Xiang quickly asked, "What are your concerns? Feel free to tell me!"

Zhang Huaiyi shook his head: "Actually, I didn't plan to say this in the first place. The reason I invited Feng Baobao was because I had other plans..."

"Xu Xiang, you should thank my apprentice. If it weren't for him, you would be dead."

"Um?!"

In the next instant, killing intent surged like a tidal wave, crashing against the shore, engulfing Xu Xiang...

His body trembled.

His face showed shock.

Only then did he realize that the other party had planned to kill him from the very beginning and then escape from there, which reminded him of the scene in the mountains two days ago...

He was too concerned about the baby's origins...

I almost forgot...

This is an absolute "killer"!

but……

thump!

Knowing there was no chance left, Xu Xiang knelt down on the spot and earnestly pleaded, "Please tell Bao Bao even just a little bit!"

Feng Baobao followed suit, immediately kneeling down: "Grandpa! Please tell me! Just let me know who I am! Please!"

"..."

Seeing the two men suddenly kneel down, Zhang Huaiyi couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but that he couldn't: "Get up. No matter what, I won't say it... The time isn't right yet."

"So when exactly do we have to wait? Could you give me some pointers?" Xu Xiang looked up.

"Um……"

"When the world is in chaos again someday, that will be the time to settle things."

The "major chaos" that Zhang Huaiyi referred to was naturally the "reappearance of the Eight Extraordinary Skills." He knew this day would come, but he couldn't say it outright at the moment.

After all, no one knows he is Zhang Huaiyi yet, so he'd better stay hidden as long as possible and won't expose himself...

That's all I can say.

He closed his eyes.

"this……"

As a result, Xu Xiang was completely out of options. It involved Feng Baobao, and he couldn't make the matter public. With the Lu family involved, this was the limit of what he could do.

Just then, he suddenly noticed the Gu Master on the ground and remembered something: "That's right, the Sincerity Gu is still here, otherwise..."

"I advise you not to get any funny ideas."

"Your life is now in my hands."

As if seeing through his thoughts, Zhang Huaiyi suddenly spoke, and at the same time, a golden light flashed, pulling out the Gu worm that had just flown into his mouth and crushing it into powder.

Seeing that even this last possibility was gone, Xu Xiangchen's eyes narrowed, his face darkened, and he stared at Zhang Huaiyi for a long time before finally getting up and leaving...

"Never mind, baby."

"Let's continue the investigation."

In any case, Zhang Xilin is still a clue. Since he refuses to talk, we should investigate him as the source and find something out.

For example, his identity...

"Zhang Xilin, although I haven't heard of that name before, surely some people know him. Oh right, he said before that he didn't want Lu Jin to find him..."

"And then there's the surname 'Zhang' and the golden light..."

Xu Xiang squinted.

This might be the breakthrough!
