After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 13: Master's Growth Teaching

The power of fans is formidable, and Zhang Chi has no doubt about this.

So he performed a bit and quickly left, giving others enough space to perform.

When he arrived at the Enforcement Hall, he wrote a sincere self-criticism, and naturally, the disciples of the Enforcement Hall did not make things difficult for him. On the contrary, the disciples who had arrested him in the morning and fined him were reprimanded by the Deputy Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall.

Zhang Chi helped them by saying a few words, expressing that disciples of the Enforcement Hall should prioritize law enforcement, talk about rules first, and then talk about personal relationships.

When he was about to leave, the few junior disciples who were praised by him looked at him with admiration on their faces.

Obviously, he gained a few more devoted fans.

"I thought you only deceive girls, but I didn't expect you to deceive guys too."

Gu Youyou discovered that she had fallen in love with teasing.

Zhang Chi didn't mind this and instead smiled, saying, "Your perspective is too narrow. I deceive people of all genders and ages, there is no one I don't deceive."

Gu Youyou: "..."

This guy is shameless and even takes pride in it, huh?

She really thinks that Zhang Chi was born in the wrong place.

If he were born in the Demon Abyss, he could at least become a Saint Child.

After resolving all the matters of the day, Zhang Chi returned to his residence, intending to study the Nine Probes of the Divine Dragon. Just as he pushed the door, Gu Youyou reminded him, "Be careful."

Zhang Chi didn't know what was going on, but instinctively dodged.

The next second, a sword light brushed against his cheek, narrowly avoiding danger.

However, the person holding the sword did not continue to attack, but the room became brighter.

Zhang Chi also saw the person's appearance clearly, and it was none other than his master, Jiang Qingyun.

"Not bad reaction."

Jiang Qingyun praised. Being able to dodge her surprise attack showed that Zhang Chi hadn't neglected his training.

"Master, why are you here?"

Zhang Chi was genuinely surprised.

He was a little flustered.

There were quite a few pieces of incriminating evidence in this room, but fortunately, Jiang Qingyun didn't have the habit of rummaging through his things, otherwise, he wouldn't have just been attacked tonight.

There would have been several holes in his body.

Jiang Qingyun appeared to be a serious and rigid figure in front of others, but in reality, she didn't like to follow rules and etiquette.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be hiding in her disciple's room so late at night.

At this moment, she wasn't wearing that cold white dress, but instead, she had changed into a purple long dress, with a light veil draped over her, and her white arms were faintly visible.

To be honest, this attire made her look a bit like someone from the Demon Cult.

Hearing Zhang Chi's inquiry, Jiang Qingyun explained, "A lot happened today, so I came to see you on purpose."

Jiang Qingyun had invested a lot of emotions in this disciple.

When he was eight years old, Jiang Qingyun took him in and taught him. Zhang Chi had always performed excellently and never let her down.

But as Zhang Chi grew up, Jiang Qingyun became increasingly worried.

It seemed that she had taught Zhang Chi to be too upright, to the point where he didn't even consider his own interests.

He would easily be taken advantage of when he traveled the martial world in the future.

Thinking that her disciple was now of age, she felt that it was time to provide him with some adult education.

"I heard about today's events from Runyu Junior Sister."

"Oh? She seems to care about your affairs."

Hmm?

Your master's tone seems a bit off, doesn't it?

Gu Youyou was stunned.

So the human race plays like this too? Not only do disciples have thoughts about their masters, but masters also have thoughts about their disciples?

Zhang Chi seemed ignorant and innocent, calmly saying, "We have a good relationship. She tells me everything."

"Is that so? That's good. You two, as fellow disciples, should be close. Maybe you'll even become Dao companions in the future. That would be quite a story."

Jiang Qingyun's face was stern, and there was no sign of blessing.

Zhang Chi knew it was time to stop joking around and quickly said, "Master, please don't tease me. Your disciple is wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao and hasn't thought about finding a Dao companion for now."

Jiang Qingyun's expression softened a lot. As a master, she didn't want to dwell on this topic with Zhang Chi. She went straight to the point and asked, "Since you've already heard from your junior sister, what do you think of my decision?"

Zhang Chi nodded and said, "Master's punishment based on the sect's rules may be misunderstood by some disciples, but I have explained it to them. If they think it through, they will understand."

Jiang Qingyun shook her head and said directly, "If that's what you think, then you are completely wrong."

Although she was pleased that her disciple admired and trusted her so much, Jiang Qingyun decided to reveal her calculations to Zhang Chi for his own future.

"I did this not because I wanted to follow the rules, but to provoke a bigger conflict. The Elder has ambitious plans and wants to control the entire Sword Sect and even the Left River League. If we don't eliminate him or weaken his power, he will surely cause turmoil. This is very detrimental to the Sword Sect and the Left River League. So I deliberately provoked their opposition."

To take care of Zhang Chi's emotions, Jiang Qingyun's words were tactful, disguising her true intentions as being for the sake of the Sword Sect and the alliance.

In reality, of course, it was for her own purposes.

After saying all this, she looked at Zhang Chi's complicated expression and worried that he might dislike her because of it.

Perhaps it was for the best. She shouldn't have invested too much emotion in the people here in the first place.

However, after thinking it over, Zhang Chi said seriously, "As long as the purpose is just, any means can be used. Now I understand the pressure you have been under. From today onwards, I am willing to share everything with you."

But what if my purpose is not just?

Jiang Qingyun thought this to herself but didn't dare to say it to Zhang Chi.

She had to admit that her heart was deeply touched at this moment.

Although she didn't say much, Zhang Chi could still understand her and sympathize with her.

She had forgotten all about her teaching duties, her mood soaring.

Fortunately, she still had strong willpower and suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, saying, "I'm glad you can think this way. I don't feel much pressure myself, so you don't need to share it with me. Just be aware of the dangers in the Dao. Be cautious with everyone."

"I understand."

"No, you don't. Tang Ruoling was taken away, and it had nothing to do with you. But after you gave advice, you couldn't save her. Although it's not your fault, Tang Feng might think it was your fault, leading to a more tragic outcome for Tang Ruoling. Even those disciples who stood up for you might think you were at fault. This is the treacherousness of human nature. Your good intentions may not necessarily bring you good results. So when doing things for others, give it seventy percent effort, and only use thirty percent. And don't get caught up in public opinion, understand?"

This was what Jiang Qingyun wanted to teach Zhang Chi.

Upholding justice and helping others were just slogans. Self-preservation and seeking personal gain were the true ways of survival.

Zhang Chi was just too sincere, making people worry...
