Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

Northern Xinjiang, Liao Huzi's residence.

Liao Huzi and a middle-aged man sat on separate armchairs.

The middle-aged man, dressed in a gray long gown, with short hair and a distinctive mustache, was none other than Boss Zhao.

Liao Huzi faced Boss Zhao, and it was unclear whether he was even looking at him, before speaking.

"Mr. Zhao, what brings you all this way?"

Mr. Zhao chuckled and said, "I'm here to see someone."

Liao Huzi lit his pipe, took two puffs, and began to speak.

"If you want someone from the Ma family to come, just let the boss know. Why bother making this trip?"

Mr. Zhao adjusted his glasses and began to speak.

"I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I'm here to find Zhang Yan. He's traveling all over the country right now, so it's really hard to find him in person."

"As for why they came to you, it was Jianghu Xiaozhan who gave me the information. They told me that you have a way to contact him."

Seeing that Liao Huzi smiled but didn't reply, Boss Zhao continued.

"I sought him out to kill someone, the leader of a Japanese cult."

Upon hearing this, Liao Huzi knocked off the ash from his pipe, waved his hand, and said...

"You should go to the Tang Clan for this kind of thing, why are you looking for Zhang Yan?"

Mr. Zhao smiled and said.

"He's a notorious killer now, and I want to use his open killings to boost our morale."

Liao Hu Zi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll take care of contacting him about this."

Boss Zhao put down the two gold coins and was about to speak when Liao Huzi swept them to the ground with his pipe and said something.

"Take this back. Don't use this to annoy me about killing Japanese devils."

Instead of being angry, Boss Zhao clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you."

……

A farmhouse courtyard in northwestern Shanxi.

Zhang Yan sat in his seat, flanked by Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Huaiyi. Next to Zhang Zhiwei sat Chu Yunfei, and Li Yunlong sat next to Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei spoke first, teasing Li Yunlong.

"Brother Yunlong, I thought you wouldn't do me the honor of attending today?"

Li Yunlong was not about to back down verbally, so he immediately retorted.

"Haha, Brother Chu, what are you saying? Last time I treated you to a banquet, I didn't spend a single penny. It was all paid for and risked my life by that old bastard Hirata."

"Today I'm finally treated to a meal by Brother Chu, so how could I not make you bleed a good price?"

Chu Yunfei smiled, not caring about any of that, and raised his glass to speak.

"The main reason I'm hosting this event is to bid farewell to Zhang Yan and the two from the Celestial Master's Mansion. Secondly, it's also to express my gratitude to Brother Yunlong for attending the last banquet."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong chuckled and spoke.

"Brother Chu, I knew you never drank alcohol before, but you're drinking so freely today. It wasn't just water in there, was it?"

Chu Yunfei didn't reply, but raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that Chu Yunfei had finished his drink, Li Yunlong laughed and downed his own cup in one gulp.

Both of them knew that Chu Yunfei was drinking and Li Yunlong was attending the banquet because Zhang Yan was there.

With him around, the two of them could temporarily put aside their scheming and drink and chat like friends.

Seeing that the two had finished arguing, Zhang Yan also drank a glass of wine with them and then spoke up.

"I'm in such a hurry to leave because there's something urgent going on."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Yan then spoke.

"Regarding the affairs of the supernatural world, recently a group of Japanese assassins have joined the battlefield. Someone offered me a high price to kill their leader and boost our morale."

"Very well, I wonder who is so righteous? I, Chu, would like to get to know them."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfei raised his glass to Zhang Yan again and spoke.

Zhang Yan, however, was displeased and spoke up.

“Brother Chu, you’re really generous. You’re not worried about my life or death, but instead you’re asking who the employer is.”

Li Yunlong poured himself a drink, gulped it down in one go, and laughed heartily.

"Haha, don't even mention Brother Chu, ever since I saw that cannonball curve, I'm not worried about you getting into trouble anymore."

"You guys... sigh, I'm not talking to you anymore, let's drink."

Zhang Yan pointed at the two of them, raised his wine glass, and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Hahaha."

"Hahaha."

Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong looked at each other and smiled, then raised their glasses and clinked them together.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei, who was standing to the side, spoke up to Zhang Yan.

"Brother Zhang Yan, killing their leader is a small matter, but what will you do afterward?"

"From now on, you'll be facing an entire assassination organization."

Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of that. At worst, I can just hide in your camps afterward, and everything will be fine."

"But if I hide in that military camp, it won't be peaceful there."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei were not afraid at all; on the contrary, they were extremely happy.

Chu Yunfei spoke first, saying, "Brother Zhang Yan, please feel free to come. I will welcome you with open arms."

Li Yunlong was displeased upon hearing this and said, "Xiao Zhang, we're like brothers, if you're going to come, come to my place."

Zhang Zhiwei: "..."

Zhang Huaiyi: "..."

Zhang Yan added a few peanuts, put down his chopsticks, and spoke.

"I was just joking. If we're going to kill someone, we can't just kill the ringleaders. I'm thinking of uprooting them all."

Zhang Huaiyi spoke up at this moment.

"Brother Zhang Yan, shall we return to Longhu Mountain a little later?"

Zhang Zhiwei nodded in agreement.

"Hey~ You should go back to your sect. If the Celestial Master finds out that I've abducted their two precious darlings, he'll definitely strike me with heavenly lightning."

After making a joke, Zhang Yan immediately became serious.

"For professional matters, we should ask professionals to do them."

"Aren't they an assassination organization? We have one too."

Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Huaiyi exchanged a glance and said in unison.

"Tangmen!"

Zhang Yan nodded and spoke.

“Since the start of the War of Resistance against Japan, the Tang Clan has been spreading rumors.”

"We refuse to accept orders from heroes, generals, and experts of the War of Resistance against Japan, no matter how high the price. This is the fundamental principle of being a Chinese citizen."

"Aren't they a famous assassin organization in Japan? Let's let our Tang Clan show their face this time and boost our morale."

In fact, Zhang Yan had something else he didn't say: if the Tang Clan hadn't made contributions during the War of Resistance against Japan, and had merely been an assassination organization that killed for money, it certainly wouldn't have been able to establish itself in later generations, let alone open a martial arts school.

Of course, Zhang Yan wouldn't be an outsider during a major battle.

Zhang Huaiyi hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Brother Zhang Yan, I've heard that the Tang Clan charges a high price for assassinations. Do you have that much money?"

Zhang Yan was taken aback. Zhang Huaiyi's question really hit the nail on the head. Then, as if he had thought of something, he smiled and said.

"Hehe, I heard that Boss Zhao is quite wealthy."

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

Good heavens, this thing can be outsourced? You're using someone else to do your dirty work.

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Zhang Yan quickly picked up his wine glass and said...

"Come on, come on, let's drink, let's drink."
