After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 17: He still has to thank us

Zhang Chi had calculated many things, but he didn't expect his own master to protect the food.

The plan had reached its final step, but unexpected obstacles arose.

Zhang Chi found himself in a dilemma.

If he followed his master, he wouldn't be able to enjoy the benefits that were within reach. Instead, someone else would take advantage of them. How could he live with that?

But if he didn't follow his master, it would seem like he actively wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Either he would reveal his interest in Tang Ruoling, or he would appear greedy for Tang Ruoling's body.

In either case, his fangirls and his master would be angry.

Fortunately, at this moment, Tang Feng's temporarily lost intelligence finally returned to his brain.

He had to consider this reality. If he didn't want his daughter to die, she had to harmonize yin and yang with a man.

No matter what, his daughter would definitely marry that person.

If that person wasn't Zhang Chi, the person would eventually find out that Zhang Chi had saved Tang Ruoling. Although nothing substantial had happened, there had been some physical contact, so it couldn't be considered innocent.

In that case, Tang Ruoling would probably be despised in the future.

Since that was the case, it was better to kill two birds with one stone and let Zhang Chi do it.

Tang Feng had a high opinion of Zhang Chi. He had good character, high talent, and a relatively high status. He also had saved Tang Ruoling's life. Who else should they find if not him?

However, Jiang Qingyun was somewhat unwilling, but Tang Feng didn't care about that anymore. As long as he could handle Zhang Chi.

"Nephew, when it comes to saving people, if you've seen Ruoling's situation, can you bear to sit back and do nothing?"

As soon as Tang Feng spoke, Zhang Chi felt relieved.

He immediately showed a hesitant expression and looked at Jiang Qingyun.

Seeing that he was not very willing to agree, Tang Feng became anxious.

"Nephew, although you were trying to detoxify Ruoling just now, you inevitably touched places you shouldn't have. Who else can I marry Ruoling to?"

"Are you implying that it's Zhang Chi's fault!?"

Jiang Qingyun was furious, and his gaze towards Zhang Chi carried some annoyance.

See, I told you not to be a good person, but you didn't listen and now you're entangled!

Zhang Chi's gaze drifted from Chen Yurun, and in that instant of eye contact, Chen Yurun's eyes clearly begged him not to agree.

"Tang Master, actually... I already have someone in my heart."

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly ignited the gossip spirit of the onlookers.

Jiang Qingyun recalled Zhang Chi's gaze just now and felt a sense of panic.

He couldn't be referring to me, could he?

Coincidentally, Chen Yurun also thought the same.

Could it be that Senior Brother secretly loves me?

The more she thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. Since entering the sect, Senior Brother had taken great care of her.

Although Senior Brother took care of every junior, she could feel that she was different.

And just now, Senior Brother clearly glanced at her, was he seeking her opinion?

The more Chen Yurun thought about it, the more excited she became.

The person who least wanted to gossip at the scene was Tang Feng.

Now that Zhang Chi had someone he liked, what would happen to his daughter?

At this moment, he could only persuade Zhang Chi.

"It's normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. Don't worry, when Ruoling wakes up, I will help you persuade her. It won't affect you finding other partners."

Seeing him so actively pleading with Zhang Chi, Gu Youyou couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

He had been fooled by Zhang Chi into becoming enemies with the Elder, thrown into the front lines, and now he was begging to hand his daughter over to Zhang Chi.

"You've bullied him so badly."

"He still has to thank us!"

Zhang Chi responded in his heart, but his face remained serious as he said, "Master Tang, you're being too serious. Tang Ruoling's poison can still be cured. Although it was a mistake, I should also take some responsibility.

I will help her detoxify."

Jiang Qingyun: "!!"

Chen Yurun: "!"

Both of them wanted Zhang Chi not to agree, but Zhang Chi just glanced at them and picked up the increasingly breathless Tang Ruoling, walking towards the basement.

Seeing this, Tang Feng also tactfully began to clear the scene. He asked unrelated people to leave first, and then he discussed the marriage alliance with Jiang Qingyun.

"Master Jiang, I'm really sorry, but I have no other choice. My disciple has noble character, which makes me feel ashamed."

Jiang Qingyun's nails were about to bleed from gripping her palms, but she could only endure it.

She said coldly, "It's my fault for raising this rebellious disciple too upright. If he is willing, it's not your fault."

Jiang Qingyun regretted teaching Zhang Chi to be too upright. He couldn't change overnight. He had become accustomed to taking responsibility for himself and sharing benefits with everyone.

Jiang Qingyun understood what Zhang Chi had just said. He felt partly responsible for Tang Ruoling's poisoning and couldn't just stand by.

So even though there were feelings in her heart, she could only temporarily let go.

The last look from Zhang Chi broke her heart.

Their relationship never started, but it had already ended.

It's all Zhou Ran's fault!

If he hadn't interrupted Zhang Chi from detoxifying Tang Ruoling, none of this would have happened.

If he hadn't acted recklessly tonight, nothing would have happened.

Zhang Chi could have saved Tang Ruoling without any obstacles, smoothly obtaining half of the assets of the Spiritual Medicine Valley, and everything could have remained the same.

The more Jiang Qingyun thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't hide the look in her eyes that wanted to kill someone.

Zhou Ran, who was taken back to the mountain by the elders, also felt a chill down his spine.

Grandfather, save me!

He subconsciously moved closer to the elders, but was pushed away disdainfully.

Idiot, don't get involved!

The elders secretly made a decision in their hearts. They would practice the minor sect's techniques when they returned. This lineage was ruined and couldn't be kept.

Tang Feng originally wanted to talk to Jiang Qingyun about Zhang Chi and Tang Ruoling's marriage, but now he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only awkwardly strike up a conversation with the young disciples.

"Miss, thank you for speaking up for Zhang Chi. I'll thank you on his behalf."

Upon hearing this, Chen Runyu, who was already unhappy, became even more unhappy.

Is he starting to act like a father-in-law?

What is the relationship between me and Senior Brother that he needs to thank you on his behalf?

"Hmph, no need! Let's go!"

Chen Runyu didn't want to stay in this sad place anymore. Even Senior Brother couldn't bear to look at her. She could understand his difficulties.

Despite this, she watched helplessly as Zhang Chi carried another woman into the secret room. She could imagine what would happen next, but she couldn't think about it anymore.

Let's leave now!

Tang Feng: "..."

The people of the Great River Sword Sect all have bad tempers.

Fortunately, Zhang Chi is gentle and refined, unlike the others.

Either they are greedy for fame and fortune, or they have a bad temper, or they don't understand manners.

Only Zhang Chi can be considered untainted by the world.

Thinking that she had such a good son-in-law, Tang Feng didn't care about Chen Runyu's rudeness.

But she didn't know that her smile had infuriated Chen Runyu.

He was provoking her!

Hmph, your daughter may have obtained my senior brother's body, but she will never obtain his heart!

Just then, the ground suddenly shook, and one could vaguely feel a stable frequency of impact underground.

Chen Runyu was shocked. Are they really that intense?
