Unexpected, Part Three

At this moment, the remaining Blue Turban People threw out their Round Ball and retreated, showing no regard for their leader's safety.

The poisonous powder spread.

Zhang Rongfang took a few steps forward, held his breath, and saw that the female leader had already died.

His waist was kicked into an odd angle, his internal organs were completely mangled, and he vomited blood.

He didn't have time to chase after the Blue Turban People; instead, he turned and walked towards Zhang Xuan Xiao Qingying. He waved his hand, creating a gust of wind to disperse the poison powder.

"Are you alright?" he asked in a deep voice.

Just as he turned around, Zhang Rongfang suddenly stopped, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, a person was standing next to Flying Bear King and his master Zhang Xuan.

That person was Ran Xin Yue.

"Aren't they a mutinous army? Why are you doing this?"

A gentle breeze blew through the woods, lifting the white veil covering the lower half of her face.

Beneath the veil was half a mangled face covered in bloody scars.

But at this moment, Zhang Rongfang didn't care at all what the other person looked like.

His mind raced, and he instantly realized that someone had orchestrated this, though he never expected it.

The other party was able to track the whereabouts of both him and Ran Xin Yue at the same time.

What does this mean? It means that, on the Wushan Prefecture side, the other party has a greater grasp of everything than he does. It means that the movements of him, Ran Xin Yue, Master Zhang Xuan, and everyone else are all under that person's watchful eye! At this moment, the wind howls in the forest, and the shadows of the trees sway.

The water outside was flowing rapidly, and the surface of the water was covered with dense, ripples.

It's raining.

"Fei Xiong, you take them and go first." Zhang Rongfang stood still and looked at Flying Bear King.

Flying Bear King glanced at Ran Xin Yue; this woman was terrifying. He hadn't even seen how she appeared, and she was right beside him in the blink of an eye.

He tried to run, but the other person pressed him down with one hand, rendering him unable to move.

He tried to move his body, wriggling on the ground with his buttocks, but found that Ran Xin Yue ignored him.

He immediately sped up his twisting motion, managing to move a short distance in a few strides. Then, carrying the more seriously injured Zhang Xintai, he, along with Zhang Xuan Xiao Qingying, led the group away quickly.

As they walked, they kept looking back, Central Capital a deep sense of unease.

"That person..." Zhang Xintai gritted his teeth, wanting to ask something, but was stopped by his father Zhang Xuan, who raised his hand.

"The only thing we can do now is to leave as soon as possible!" Zhang Xuan said fiercely.

This was the third time they had been rescued by Zhang Rongfang.

It's clear that they have become a weakness that others can exploit to manipulate Zhang Rongfang.

This can't go on! Zhang Xuan knew he had to find a better way. And the best way was to stay away, to leave! He had to stay away from Zhang Rongfang! "Let's... leave the Rebel Alliance," Xiao Qingying suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, both Zhang Xuan and Zhang Xintai fell silent.

But soon, the two looked at each other and nodded firmly.

"Okay! We'll go back and arrange our escape, then find a good place to hide!"

They once believed that the Rebel Alliance was the light that illuminated the entire world.

But now, the more they understood, the darker it seemed, and the more they felt that this Great Ling was beyond saving. Moreover, as long as they were no longer part of the Rebel Alliance, their relationship with Zhang Rongfang would no longer be a weakness! The group quickly moved away, gradually disappearing at the end of the riverbank, where they were blocked by the Woodland at the bend.

Only Zhang Rongfang and Ran Xin Yue remained at the original location.

The two were ten meters apart, but neither of them moved.

Although Zhang Rongfang wore a black mask and changed his appearance, for some reason, Ran Xin Yue recognized him at a glance.

"I initially thought the person who secretly sent the message was framing me, but now it seems I was wrong," Ran Xin Yue said in a deep voice.

She stared at Zhang Rongfang across from her.

"Now that they're gone, you're not worried anymore. Can you tell me your reasons now?"

"..." Zhang Rongfang paused for a moment, "Those people just now helped me when I was weak. I'm repaying their kindness, nothing more."

"Do you know they are a mutinous army?" Ran Xin Yue asked.

"I don't know."

"You know," Ran Xin Yue smiled. "Do you know what the relationship is between our Great Dao Sect and the Rebel Alliance?"

"I don't know," Zhang Rongfang replied again.

"We've killed far too many high-ranking members of the Rebel Alliance, and the Rebel Alliance's Reverse Time Society has also killed many of our experts. The two sides are already blood enemies. And now... do you know what will happen if word gets out that you've helped the rebel Rebel Alliance?!"

Ran Xin Yue's voice gradually became stern.

Zhang Rongfang fell silent.

"You don't know. We were lured here because someone was orchestrating this. What is their purpose?"

Ran Xin Yue's eyes grew increasingly fierce.

"You think you can be flawless just by wearing a mask and using your shrinking technique? How laughable! Before you do anything, can't you consider your master?! They have helped you, but the Grand Master is your master! How much has he helped you?! How much has he taught you?! Can you even tell which is more important?!"

Ran Xin Yue's chest heaved, clearly indicating that she was extremely agitated.

"I believe it," Zhang Rongfang said, looking up. "If I really stood by and watched them die, Master Yue would no longer appreciate or value me."

"Why!? Are those people that important to you? More important than your master!?" Ran Xin Yue asked, puzzled.

She could already imagine that if this matter were exposed, the entire Great Dao Sect, which had finally found a suitable Daozi, might be forced to sever ties!

A dignified Daozi, actually colluding with his own anti-rebellion forces.

If such a scandal gets out, the other sects in the Spirit Court and the Snow Rainbow Pavilion may use it as a weakness to launch a massive attack.

"You're too naive," Ran Xin Yue shook her head. "At our level, simple grudges require us to consider the bigger picture first! You no longer represent just yourself; you represent many, many others in the same group."

"Now, if you still want to be Daozi again, go and kill those people!" She pointed in Zhang Xuan's direction.

"If you still acknowledge the Grand Master as your master, then don't let him fall into a passive position! Now is the time for our Great Dao Sect's century-long plan, and we cannot afford the slightest mistake!"

"I can't do it." Zhang Rongfang a deep breath. He suddenly understood.

Why am I feeling more and more tired of living?

Why do I feel increasingly exhausted even though my skills are constantly improving?

Why? "Why!?" Ran Xin Yue took a step closer, her eyes like those of a hawk, staring intently at him.

"If you can't bring yourself to do it, I'll help you!"

"Because." Zhang Rongfang suddenly felt as if he had let go of a lot of things in his heart.

He realized that he was always worrying about this and that, thus constantly suppressing and hiding himself.

"But now, because Master Yue is my master, and among those people just now, there was also my master."

His voice was calm. Meeting the other person's puzzled gaze, he continued.

"Actually, my name isn't Zhang Ying at all."

He removed his mask, and his body naturally made a snapping sound as it returned to its original shape.

"You," Ran Xin Yue wanted to say.

"My real name is Zhang Rongfang." A gentle smile appeared on Zhang Rongfang's face.

"Zhang Xuan is my teacher, so I must save him. No one can stop me."

That's all.

"Also, my real age is twenty-two, not thirty-six."

As for their background, it was all acquired through a purchase from the former teacher Zhang Xuan at Golden Wing Tower.

"So, I am not Zhang Ying Daozi at all. I am just an ordinary commoner from a Barbarian Confucian, and I only want to do what I think is right."

"If you believe I am not qualified to serve as Daozi, you can request my revocation from Master Yue."

Ran Xin Yue opened her eyes wide, wondering if her ears were playing tricks on her and she was having auditory hallucinations.

Zhang Ying? Her real name Zhang Rongfang!? Her identity is fake? Her age is fake? Her background is all fake!? "You!?" She couldn't have predicted that this trip to secretly investigate would lead to such an unexpected situation.

She stared intently at Zhang Rongfang, as if she wanted to peel his skin and pull out his tendons to see the truth within him.

Daozi of the Great Dao Sect, whose name and identity are both fake?! This is utterly ridiculous!

"You're lying to me!? Aren't you afraid I'll beat you to death right here and now!?"

Ran Xin Yue's arm had begun to swell with blood, and in just a few breaths it had grown several times larger. Her skin turned from snow-white to dark red, and fleshy growths appeared, making it look deformed.

She knew Zhang Rongfang; Yue Dewen had asked her to come over earlier to check on Zhang Rongfang situation and to help her protect her family a little.

So it's easy to understand once you hear it.

"I'm not lying to you, you..." Zhang Rongfang was about to speak.

"No!" Suddenly, a glint flashed in Ran Xin Yue's eyes. "You said your age, identity, and background were all lies, but your Civilian Skill Cultivation are absolutely real!?"

"What did you just say you were?!" She suddenly remembered something, and her voice began to tremble slightly.

"Twenty-two," Zhang Rongfang blinked and answered.

"Twenty-two Nascent Soul Late Stage!!?" Ran Xin Yue trembled all over.

"I..." She lowered her head, her expression contorted in rage.

"Master Yue knows all this. If you are sure, you can go back to Great Capital right now and tell Master Yue that I have wronged him," Zhang Rongfang said in a deep voice.

"No!" Ran Xin Yue raised her hand and shouted. "Stop talking!!"

The Woodland was quiet, with only the faint sounds of wind, rain, and Ran Xin Yue's heavy breathing.

"You"

She took a deep breath, her body, which should have been incredibly strong after Worship God, was now struggling to breathe due to emotional fluctuations.

"I fucking want to beat you to death right now."

"Are you alright?!" Zhang Rongfang, somewhat surprised.

Ran Xin Yue lowered her head and pressed her hand to her chest. At this moment, she had only one feeling: heartache.

"No need to ask the Grand Master. You'll definitely be fine."

She paused.

"Because your talent is simply too high!"

She looked up at Zhang Rongfang, who had a blank expression on his face, and compared it to her own situation back then, the resentment in her heart grew even stronger.

"Do whatever you want. Anyway, a genius like you can be forgiven for anything!"

"But I come from Barbarian Confucian background."

"It doesn't matter if you were born a pig or a dog!"

"You insulted me!?"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Ran Xin Yue felt like she had been hit hard.

At this moment, she finally understood why the Grand Master valued this Daozi so much, and why three of the Four Right-Hand Aides, the three Worship God Grandmaster, came to serve him alone, just to act as his bodyguards and deliver his Token.

Compared to Zhang Qingzhi, the treatment he received was worlds apart.

"You can go now." Ran Xin Yue waved her hand, feeling powerless and unwilling to see the other person.

"Pretend I've never seen you."

Zhang Rongfang: "."
