Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 5: The Three Traitors
It was late at night and a bright crescent moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the forest.

In the jungle, a nonchalant voice came: "Hey, Master, please don't be angry!"

"Hmph!" Another voice that sounded a little old but full of energy snorted angrily. The careless voice continued, "I did hit you hard today, but I understand what you mean. Don't you just want me to learn the third level of Reincarnation?"

In the woods, the moonlight revealed two figures, one old and one young. The old one stood there angrily, while the young one knelt on the ground with a playful smile on his face. Both of them were dressed as Taoist priests, wearing Taoist robes and Taoist buns. Although the colors were different, the styles were exactly the same. They were obviously a master and apprentice.

The young Taoist priest said with a smile: "The Sanyi Sect is our Taoist friend. It is not easy to attack them on weekdays. You are curious. Let me help you. I can satisfy your curiosity and increase my knowledge. It's a two-birds-at-one deal."

As he spoke, he straightened his nose and said proudly, "You always say on the mountain that your disciples are arrogant and have a screw loose. But what's the truth? Most of the time, I'm pretty smart!"

"Ah... clever." The old Taoist clenched his fists with his hands hanging at his sides, and his back teeth made a "crunching" sound. He finally roared: "I'll teach you cleverness!"

After saying that, he took a step forward, raised his fist and was about to hit this unfilial disciple. But suddenly a clear voice came from the woods behind him: "Master, are you still training your disciples?"

A cold, white-skinned, barefoot man walked out from behind the jungle. His face looked like a teenager, but his eyes seemed to contain the secrets of the universe, deep and mysterious. However, the most striking thing about him was not the contrast between his face and eyes, but his skin.

His skin was as white as the coldest frost in the coldest days of winter, almost transparent, and under the bright moonlight, he looked like a moon god. The person surrounded by strange visions was no one else except Zuo Ruotong, the head of the Sanyi Sect, the "No. 1 Mysterious Sect in the World", whom the master and disciple were discussing.

The person who could be called the Heavenly Master by Zuo Ruotong was naturally the leader of the Zhengyi Dao, the contemporary Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Jingqing.

"Brother Zuo." Zhang Jingqing was a little embarrassed. During the day, the younger generation was fighting, and his stupid apprentice, at the birthday banquet of the old man of the Lu family, in front of all the guests, slapped Lu Jin, the son of the new Lu family patriarch and the proud disciple of the Great Ying Immortal in front of him, to the ground and cried.

Although the Lu family and Zuo Rutong clearly stated that they didn't care about such behavior, Zhang Jingqing always felt as if he was sorry for them.

"The old man is right. You hid such a great treasure, but you only let us know about it today. It's really not nice of you."

Zuo Ruotong was a sincere gentleman. He said he was not angry, and that meant he was not angry. Looking at the young Taoist priest kneeling on the ground, he said with a smile: "If you think so little of him...give him to me?"

"Brother Zuo, you are joking." Zhang Jingqing stepped forward and blocked the young Taoist priest behind him. It was obvious that although he was cursing, he valued this disciple very much in his heart.

Zhang Jingqing turned around, put his hands on his hips and scolded his apprentice, "Get up! I'm telling you, brother Zuo, this bear has learned nothing else. Whenever something happens, he likes to kneel down before me. It always makes me mad. For your brother's physical and mental health, you'd better have less contact with him."

"Oh? Oh..." Zuo Rutong's face suddenly turned red, as if he had thought of something bad. After a long while, he calmed down, "Hehehe... Indeed, it makes sense."

Zuo Ruotong's behavior made Zhang Jingqing and his disciple stunned. However, Zuo Ruotong obviously didn't want to explain, and he immediately said: "You two, my stupid disciple..."

He called out, but there was no one behind him, so he raised his voice again: "Come out! You said you wanted to come, but you acted like a child. What a shame!"

A handsome young man came out from behind the tree trunk, looking aggrieved. He asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhang, may I ask if my behavior is a little arrogant and makes you unhappy?"

This person is none other than Lu Jin, the outstanding son of the Lu family, who was more prominent than the old man and created a famous scene at today's birthday banquet.

"Uh……"

The young Taoist wanted to hesitate, but Zhang Jingqing shouted, "Speak! You felt great when you beat me, but now you're wasting your time?"

"Alas, stop talking." The young Taoist nodded, looked down at Lu Jin and said, "Master Lu, I am not targeting you. This is purely targeting the third level of Ni Sheng."

A golden light appeared in his hand, gradually stretched out, and turned into a golden snake in the sky: "Interesting, Master Lu, it is very similar to our Golden Light Mantra. It is not the kind of practice of Huode Sect or Yanwu Hall that purely pursues effects, but is to enter a state and thereby improve life cultivation. It just happens to be combined with some rituals and mantras to produce golden light that can be used..."

"...But something as complicated as the Triple Reversal is destined to be less powerful than something simple and solid. I want to put you in that state, so I choose to shake your upper dan."

The young Taoist priest put away the golden light, looked at Lu Jin and said seriously: "I don't turn on the golden light not because I look down on you, but this is a vital part of your life. I must be careful and don't have the energy to do anything extra."

"Did you hear that? You keep saying you've learned something, but what did you learn? You only care about winning or losing. Did I ask you to fight?" Zuo Rutong scolded Lu Jin, then smiled and gave him a thumbs up: "Little Taoist friend, you are really good. But you can do all this because you can easily defeat my stupid disciple."

The young Taoist priest covered the back of his head with his hands in embarrassment and smiled awkwardly, and spoke without thinking: "That's right, if you have constructed a reverse life state, then I would never dare to take shortcuts, I'm afraid..."

"Oh?" Zuo Ruotong asked with interest: "You want to ask me for advice?"

“Zhang Zhiwei!” The old Taoist roared, scaring the young Taoist so much that his face was covered in cold sweat. He quickly waved his hands: “Eh? No, no, I don’t dare.”

"Hey." Zuo Rutong smiled, "You don't have to ask me for advice so early, but you have a good opponent today." He turned to Zhang Jingqing who was standing next to him and said, "Master, do you remember our agreement last night?"

"Hmm?" Zhang Jingqing was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, "Brother Zuo, are you saying... do you have someone who can beat this brat?"

Last night, the patriarch of the Wang family proposed to let the younger generations have a fight at the birthday banquet. Zhang Jingqing then found Zuo Rutong, the head of the world's number one mysterious sect, and proposed to let his disciple beat up the disciple who had too strong a means of self-defense.

The result is obvious. Lu Jin, who was so popular at the beginning, was slapped to the ground by his own apprentice. However, what Zuo Rutong said now...

"Yeah." Zuo Rutong seemed to remember something painful again, and his brows were locked even tighter than before.

"Then what are you waiting for? Please invite the young master out!"

"Well... this..." Zuo Rutong's expression became even more embarrassed, "This kid is still sleeping at Lu's house."

"Ah?" Not to mention Zhang Jingqing, even his stupid apprentice was surprised. You slept in front of your master? Suddenly, Zhang Jingqing seemed to have thought of something and asked tentatively, "Is it that person... um..."

"What?" Zuo Rutong was stunned.

"Come with me." Zhang Jingqing understood what Zuo Ruotong meant, and told the two juniors to wait here, and took Zuo Ruotong back to the Lu family compound secretly. Zuo Ruotong asked, "Master, what are we doing secretly?"

"Hey, Brother Zuo, you are the sun in the sky, always dignified and majestic, so it's normal that you don't notice these rat-like things in the gutter." Zhang Jingqing said, slowing down his pace, and he and Zuo Rutong silently climbed into the Lu family compound.

Although the birthday banquet was over, the Lu family had a great tradition. Many guests came from far away. With inconvenient transportation, it was not a big deal for them to stay for two or three days to prepare for departure. Therefore, many people were still drinking in the hall.

The two great masters quietly approached and happened to hear someone talking about the Trinity Sect.

"Hey, did you hear that the traitor has reached the third level?"

"What? Zuo Ruotong has reached the third level?"

"no……"

"Not Zuo Ruotong? Then who is it, Si Chong? Cheng Zhen?"

"You're wrong. It's not the third level of Rebellion Against Rebirth, but the third level of Rebellion Against Disciple." As they drank together, the atmosphere became lively and everyone started talking more. Soon, someone drinking nearby heard the voices at this table and came over to explain, "You don't know, there's a disciple in the Trinity Sect, he..."

As he explained, there were constant exclamations of sudden enlightenment from all around. "Oh, oh!" "Hey, it's him." "Wow, good fellow, this is amazing!" "So that's how Mr. Kanglong, the left sect leader, came from." "It has to be the left sect leader, my master would have been pissed off a long time ago."

Zuo Rutong is almost angry to death now. His face is so dark that even the third level of Reverse Rebirth cannot cover it up.

Zhang Jingqing had to persuade him, "Brother Zuo, don't be too angry. Think positively. This kid has made a name for himself in the underworld, which proves that he has learned well..."

As he was speaking, a sudden voice interrupted him: "Hey, Master, and this senior, what are you two eavesdropping on?"
