Chapter 81: It's Hard to Find a Soulmate
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "It's just a misunderstanding. Don't call me uncle-master. Let's just talk about our own affairs."

Fang Sheng clasped his hands together and said thank you, then said goodbye to Xin Zhen and left with Yi Guozi and others who were not very willing to do so.

Xin Zhen watched Fang Sheng and his companions leave, then looked up at the bright moon in the sky. He heard the sound of slow footsteps approaching from behind.

Xin Zhen turned around and smiled. The bright moonlight shone on his face, causing Ren Yingying's heart to skip a beat.

Ren Yingying suddenly felt her face getting hot and she lowered her head involuntarily. Then she bravely raised her head and looked at Xin Zhen, quite stubbornly.

Xin Zhen took a step forward, and Ren Yingying felt that the moonlight was blocked. She could even smell the faint smell of sweat on Xin Zhen's body, and she became even more nervous.

Ren Yingying refused to show weakness and pretended to be calm, saying, "Why did you use such dangerous means to fight Master Fang Sheng just now? Your swordsmanship is very high, and you can defeat him even without using such means."

Xin Zhen shrugged and said with a casual smile: "I just happened to have some ideas about Dugu Jiujian, so I tried it on him.

Don't worry, I won't take such risks if I meet other opponents, mainly because Master Fang Sheng will not hurt me.

Moreover, this method will allow Master Fang Sheng to make a correct judgment of my swordsmanship attainments."

Ren Yingying said angrily, "I have nothing to worry about. What does it have to do with you and me?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Of course he is a bosom friend."

Ren Yingying snorted and said, "You seem to attach great importance to Shaolin. What do you want to do?"

Xin Zhen sighed and said, "Your Sun Moon Sect has not been very low-key recently. The Five Mountains Sword Sect has already felt the pressure, and Zuo Lengchan is planning to annex the other four sects.

Huashan Sect is too weak. If it wants to survive, it must have a supporter outside of the Five Mountains Sword Sects. Is there a better supporter in the world than Shaolin Temple?"

Ren Yingying said: "Actually... I... I and the Sun Moon Divine Sect..."

Ren Yingying found it difficult to speak.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. I have long known that you are unwilling to fight for power and profit within the Sun Moon Sect, so you exiled yourself to the world of martial arts and lived in seclusion in Green Bamboo Lane, just to avoid these right and wrongs.

If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be willing to get close to you. Otherwise, one day, we would inevitably meet each other in battle, and that would be terrible."

When Ren Yingying thought of that scene, she felt as if her chest was hit by a sledgehammer and she had difficulty breathing for a while.

Seeing that Ren Yingying's face was a little pale, Xin Zhen asked with concern: "Did you fight with someone? Did you suffer internal injuries?"

Ren Yingying shook her head and said, "If that day really comes, will you do something to me?"

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, “All I did was not to gain something, but to prevent others from forcing me to do anything.

You, Ren Yingying, are my confidant and bosom friend. Don’t even think about forcing me to kill you. Even if someone else wants to kill you, they have to get past me first.”

Ren Yingying looked up at Xin Zhen and said, "What if Master Fang Zheng from Shaolin Temple wants you to kill me?"

Xin Zhen sneered and said, "How can he be worthy of ordering me to do something?"

Ren Yingying's eyes were filled with joy, and she asked, "What if your master, Senior Feng, ordered you to kill me?"

Xin Zhen laughed and said, "My master doesn't know how to do that." Ren Yingying asked seriously, "What if he does?"

Xin Zhen's laughter gradually stopped and he looked at Ren Yingying.

Ren Yingying just felt her palms sweating.

Xin Zhen said quietly: "If my master orders me to kill you, then I can only..."

Ren Yingying asked, "Only what?"

Xin Zhen smiled mischievously and said, "Then I can only run away with you!"

Ren Yingying's eyes were filled with tears, and her face was filled with tenderness as she said, "Then you have become an abandoned disciple of Mount Hua. Is it worth it for me?"

Xin Zhen nodded seriously and said, "It's worth it. I felt it was worth it in Green Bamboo Lane, and after meeting you today, I feel it is even more worth it."

Xin Zhen originally approached Ren Yingying only to leverage her influence among the grassroots heroes, but after two piano and flute duets, Xin Zhen finally understood why Liu Zhengfeng would rather die than kill Qu Yang.

This is a spiritual connection.

In his previous life, Xin Zhen was a professional agent and was financially independent. He was also very handsome and had had more women than he could count on his hands, but he had never had this kind of experience.

When they were in Green Bamboo Lane, he certainly knew that Ren Yingying was a very beautiful woman, but that kind of soul connection had little to do with appearance. Even at that time, he had actually already fallen in love with Ren Yingying.

Playing together again at Wubagang made Xin Zhen certain of his thoughts.

Xin Zhen has been working in the workplace for many years and is naturally a decisive person. Once he has made up his mind, there is no reason for him to miss it.

Xin Zhen stared at Ren Yingying and said softly, "Yingying, are you willing to laugh at the world with me?"

Ren Yingying's eyes were filled with joy, but she didn't say anything. She took the flute off Xin Zhen's waist and examined it carefully under the moonlight. She found that there were no scratches on it, and it was obviously well maintained. She knew that Xin Zhen attached great importance to the gift she gave him, and she was very happy. She said, "But I am a demon girl from the Demon Sect. How can I laugh at the world with you? Unless we quit the world."

Xin Zhen naturally held Ren Yingying's hand, and without waiting for her to resist, he pulled her to the west side of Wubagang. There was a river flowing slowly under the hill, and in the distance was a fertile field with some lights, a warm scene of human life.

Xin Zhen pointed to the lights in the distance and said, "The martial arts world is as peaceful as this now. However, after a few decades, the martial arts world is in turmoil again. This turmoil will calm down again in just a few years. By then, after the fighting, some forces will disappear and some will rise, but they will all reach a balance again."

Ren Yingying looked at Xin Zhen and said, "What does this have to do with us?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "We are in a calm period now, and everyone attaches great importance to the opposition between good and evil, but once the world becomes turbulent, there will be bloody and cruel fights among the various forces.

Not only will there be a so-called duel between good and evil, but there will also be a power struggle within good and evil. By then, the opposition between good and evil will become more acute, but the boundaries will also become blurred. That will be our chance to officially debut.”

Ren Yingying asked: "Then why don't you just quit the arena?"

Xin Zhen looked at Ren Yingying and said, "Yingying, do you know that your father is not dead?"

Ren Yingying was shocked and looked at Xin Zhen in disbelief, "This is impossible. My father has been dead for many years."

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "He was only imprisoned by Dongfang Bubai. As for where he is imprisoned, I don't know where. If you want to rescue your father, you might as well ask reliable people in the sect. Maybe there will be news."
