After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 20: Why Does My Conscience Hurt?

Zhang Chi sent Tang Ruoling back to Spiritual Medicine Valley and hurriedly returned to Sword Sect.

There were quite a few people who knew about last night's incident. Although Chen Runyu, who loved gossip the most, didn't go around spreading it, his friends were all gossip lovers. How could they resist sharing such a big piece of news?

So, overnight, the well-informed people in Sword Sect all knew about last night's story.

Tang Ruoling's reputation in Hezhou was not small. Many people were saddened when they heard that Tang Ruoling had been arrested.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the situation took a turn and the story had many twists and turns. In the end, Zhang Chi really saved Tang Ruoling.

Zhang Chi's record added another legendary achievement.

However, because of some people's misdeeds, Zhang Chi's achievement this time was not perfect.

Although the person was saved, but...

Last night, I don't know how many men and women shed tears.

If Tang Ruoling is the dream lover of male disciples, then Zhang Chi is the dream lover of female disciples.

Tang Ruoling's best feature is her figure, followed by her healing smile. She also has a gentle personality, much better than many fierce girls in Sword Sect.

Female disciples of Sword Sect can be fierce, but the girls in Spiritual Medicine Valley are gentle and considerate. It's obvious which man men would prefer, right?

And Zhang Chi's popularity in Sword Sect goes without saying.

He is handsome, capable, and takes care of his junior brothers and sisters, but he never plays ambiguous games with others. Although his background is not high, he became the eldest senior brother through his own efforts.

Who wouldn't like such an inspirational person?

However, although many men and women shed tears, they can also understand. Some even think that this development is not bad.

Upon careful consideration, Zhang Chi and Tang Ruoling are actually quite compatible.

It would be even better if they could be happy together.

So, when Zhang Chi returned to the sect today, many people wished him and Tang Ruoling well.

Zhang Chi had to respond with a polite smile. By the time he arrived at Qingyun Residence, his face was almost stiff.

Qingyun Residence is where Jiang Qingyun lives. Jiang Qingyun's honorary title is Qingyun Perfected Being, and the residence is naturally named after the title.

"Disciple Zhang Chi, requesting an audience with Master."

"What are you here for?"

Jiang Qingyun had already noticed Zhang Chi, but she still had some anger in her heart and didn't want to see him.

"Disciple came to apologize to Master."

"You are the highly praised eldest senior brother, talented and virtuous, and now you have brought back a beautiful woman. Your future is limitless, so why do you need to apologize to me?"

Jiang Qingyun's words were full of resentment. Obviously, last night's incident had a big impact on her.

Zhang Chi knew what she was thinking, but he insisted on apologizing.

"Disciple did not follow Master's teachings and made Master worry."

"I didn't worry about you. You have grown up and have your own ideas. What do I have to worry about?

Besides, you have benefited from a disaster and become the son-in-law of Spiritual Medicine Valley.

Consider it good karma!"

Jiang Qingyun's words became even more sarcastic.

Zhang Chi had already seen through her thoughts, but pretended not to know. Outside Qingyun Residence, he looked sad and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have done this good deed. Cough, cough."

Jiang Qingyun was still angry with him, but when she heard his abnormal breath, she couldn't help but worry.

"What's wrong with you?"

She finally pushed open the door and saw Zhang Chi gently wiping away the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth.

"The injuries from last night haven't healed completely, but it's not a big deal."

"How can it not be a big deal! Since you have injuries on your body, why don't you take good care of yourself?"

Jiang Qingyun's eyes were full of blame, but Zhang Chi said, "The injuries on my body are nothing. I'm more worried that Master dislikes me and abandons me."

"You!"

Jiang Qingyun was angry that he didn't cherish his body. At the Foundation Building stage, if he had serious injuries, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything in the future.

But Zhang Chi's concern for her also dissipated some of her resentment.

In the end, Zhang Chi didn't do anything wrong. She was just too upright.

It's not her fault, it's the fault of this world that allows such a good person like her to be constantly bullied.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyun felt a pang of heartache for Zhang Chi.

She took out a bottle of healing medicine from her pocket and handed it to Zhang Chi, saying, "Go back and rest well. Don't act recklessly like this in the future."

"But... by saving Tang Ruoling, Master, you will gain the support of Tang Guzhu. It won't be so easy for the Elder to bully you in the sect or the alliance anymore."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyun was stunned.

So, it was all for me.

I blamed her just now and didn't open the door for her...

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyun fell into deep self-blame.

"Don't do such risky things in the future. If you want to help me, you should also consider your own safety."

"It's okay. I didn't encounter any danger last night. It's just a pity that the lucky charm you gave me broke."

As Zhang Chi said this, she took out the lucky charm with several cracks on it. It was the defensive Law Weapon that was damaged last night.

Seeing this old Law Weapon, Jiang Qingyun casually said, "Since it's broken, why keep it? Just go get another one, a Low Grade Law Weapon."

"This was the one you gave me when I first started. "

Zhang Chi's words carried a lot of unfinished meaning. He didn't say much, but Jiang Qingyun already understood.

She suddenly remembered that when she took Zhang Chi as her disciple, she did give him a protective Law Weapon. That was already ten years ago, and she hadn't thought much of it.

She didn't expect Zhang Chi to treasure it so much that he didn't even want to discard it when it was broken.

Her heart suddenly felt full, heavy, and unable to move.

After a long silence, she realized that she had lost control a bit and quickly said, "It's okay, I'll get you another one later.

Alright, you have injuries, go back and rest. I still have a lot of things to do."

Saying that, she hurried back into the house and closed the door.

"What an interesting woman."

Zhang Chi's mouth curled into a slightly wicked smile.

Seeing him deceive people like this, Gu Youyou couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiang Qingyun.

If she knew that the lucky charm was broken by Zhang Chi himself, she didn't know how she would feel.

The lucky charm could indeed block attacks from Foundation Building cultivators, but it was still just a Low Grade Law Weapon.

Zhang Chi, at the Qi Condensation stage, would break it after a few more fights.

"Doesn't your conscience hurt when you deceive her like this?"

Gu Youyou tried to understand Zhang Chi. He calculated so many people, and it seemed like he had a reason for each one.

There's no need to say much about the Elder and Zhou Ran, they are enemies, so it's justified to calculate them.

The matter with Tang Ruoling and Tang Feng was because of her, it was for self-preservation.

But Jiang Qingyun is the only one among all these people who truly cares for and protects Zhang Chi. Does he still need to calculate her?

Even Demon Race wouldn't do that.

"You don't understand. The lucky charm is just a Low Grade Law Weapon. Its value lies in its additional meaning.

If I didn't destroy it, no one would know its value.

Only when it's already lost can Master understand its significance. She won't be sad for a damaged Law Weapon, but she will be happy for a sincere feeling.

Since no one will be upset about it, why can't I calculate it?"

Gu Youyou: "..."

It seems like there's some truth to it, but something doesn't feel quite right...
