After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 33: Watch Me Not Stab You

"Tonight, I am once again outside your window, your shadow on the curtain is so lovely..."

A strange BGM played in Zhang Chi's mind, so he quickly knocked on the window.

Stop, stop, turn off the music.

Back then, he thought the song was good, but now he has become the person outside the window, and he feels that this behavior is a bit horrifying.

It's late at night, and he shouldn't scare Tang Ruoling.

Zhang Chi raised his hand, ready to knock on the window, but before his hand could fall, he happened to hear some movement from inside.

"You rotten man, watch me not stab you!"

Zhang Chi: "..."

Did he stumble upon some kind of show?

Driven by curiosity, Zhang Chi licked his hand, poked a hole in the window paper, and took a peek.

She was holding a silver needle in her hand, with two dolls placed five steps away, and the faces of the dolls were adorned with Zhang Chi's portrait.

She seemed to be immersed in needle pricking and hadn't noticed the commotion outside the house.

Her palms were flying, fingers dancing, and silver needles flew out one by one, accurately hitting various acupoints on Zhang Chi's body.

Accurate and elegant.

Clearly, Tang Ruoling was quite satisfied with her technique and took out another pack of silver needles.

"Last time, I was too careless and was misunderstood by that rotten man. Ugh! Narcissist!"

The more Tang Ruoling thought about it, the angrier she became, especially when Zhang Chi showed her an indulgent smile, which made her feel humiliated, even more so than being manipulated.

"This time, I'll poison the silver needles. There should be no room for error."

It must be said that Tang Ruoling was quite resilient.

Failure did not discourage her; instead, she pondered on improving her skills.

She had a good understanding of medicine, but she had never thought of using silver needles to harm others. They were meant for saving lives.

But when faced with Zhang Chi, Tang Ruoling decided to abandon her principles.

She soaked the silver needles in a dark potion, stirring them while emitting a strange laugh.

"Hehehe, once I subdue you, no matter how you beg for mercy, I will never let you go!"

Tang Ruoling fantasized about torturing Zhang Chi, her mouth curling into a smile.

Suddenly, she heard a voice ask, "What is this medicine for?"

"Anesthetic, it can make people's muscles weak and numb."

Tang Ruoling instinctively answered, but only after did she snap back to reality and nervously looked over, only to find a person standing by the window, and that person was Zhang Chi.

Tang Ruoling was so scared that she took three steps back in succession. "How did you get here?"

Could it be that he wanted to bully her again?

If I don't go find him, he comes to me?

Tang Ruoling thought about the possible encounters that would follow, thinking that she would have the courage to resist, but her body suddenly lost strength, and her knees went weak.

Zhang Chi didn't explain, he just climbed in through the window.

"Don't come any closer!"

Tang Ruoling kept retreating, but accidentally tripped over a doll and fell to the ground.

This fragile appearance really made people want to bully her.

Even Zhang Chi, who didn't come to do anything bad, became somewhat interested.

"Do you like this kind of play? If we play again next time, today we have important matters."

Tang Ruoling: "!"

Humiliation! Great humiliation!

As a Foundation Building Stage half-demon, her performance was indeed too unbearable.

But why isn't my body listening to me?

Tang Ruoling felt both embarrassed and angry, her face turning red.

However, Zhang Chi ignored her and collected all the silver needles soaked in the potion with a needle bag.

"Don't be afraid, tonight I'm only doing important things."

Zhang Chi pulled up Tang Ruoling, who was still shy and upset, and whispered in her ear, "Listen carefully, first we..."

Great River Sword Sect, Listening to the Tide Pavilion.

This place is where the Sword Sect cultivates. It is rumored that the ancestor of the Sword Sect gained enlightenment and created the Great River Sword Scripture by observing the water and listening to the tide here. He then established the sect in this place, gradually becoming a dominant force.

In order to commemorate the ancestor and learn the Great River Sword Scripture better, later generations established the Listening to the Tide Pavilion here.

Not many people can comprehend the sword scripture, but there are also many who have made breakthroughs in their state of mind after listening to the sound of the tide.

At this moment, Zhou Ran is also in the pavilion. He did not come here voluntarily, but was punished to come here.

The elder believed that his temperament still needed more tempering, so he punished him to reflect in the Listening to the Tide Pavilion and listen to the tide, to temper his state of mind.

But Zhou Ran couldn't focus!

He only felt annoyed by the sound of the Coiling Dragon River's tide. He couldn't calm down for a moment, and his mind kept replaying the things that happened before.

He certainly didn't think it was his own problem. Since it wasn't his own problem, it must be Zhang Chi's problem!

"Why can't it be him plotting against me? Tang Feng didn't see any trace of the thief. Why can't it be Zhang Chi staging it himself?"

Actually, Zhou Ran himself didn't believe this kind of statement, but he just couldn't accept it and wanted to argue.

But what's the use of arguing with himself? No one in the entire sect believes him.

In the sound of the surging tide, his hatred for Zhang Chi grew stronger.

Suddenly, he heard someone talking.

"Hey, have you heard about Senior Brother's situation?"

The three words "Senior Brother" instantly caught Zhou Ran's attention.

Zhou Ran pricked up his ears and there happened to be someone asking on his behalf, "What happened to Senior Brother?"

"I heard that he went to investigate the theft of spirit stones and was driven back. Many people saw it at the sect gate just now!"

"Hey, Senior Brother is so powerful, how could he be driven back? Could someone be deliberately bullying him?"

Zhou Ran listened with excitement, becoming more focused.

"It's not that. He made a mistake himself. He left the account book in his own room but didn't keep watch over it. Someone must have taken advantage of it, set a fire, and the account book was completely gone."

"Although it's a theft of spirit stones, losing the account book shouldn't have a big impact, right?"

"But before this, he suspected Elder Qinghui of stealing and guarding the account book. Although he didn't say it explicitly at River Temple, everyone understood it.

Now that the account book is gone, Elder Qinghui has become suspicious. It's hard to explain."

"Could it be that Elder Qinghui sent someone to destroy the evidence?"

From the conversation, Zhou Ran could tell that the male and female were supporters of Zhang Chi.

He was even more displeased about this.

Clearly, he himself was very handsome, but the female disciples of the sect preferred Zhang Chi.

Hmph, what kind of taste is that!

Zhou Ran liked what the male disciple said.

"There's no evidence, no one knows who did it. I even said that maybe Zhang Chi couldn't find any clues and deliberately burned the account book to shift the blame onto someone else!

Anyway, the fact is that he didn't take good care of the account book, and being driven out is not unjust."

"What should we do? Senior Brother said he would prove Elder Qinghui's innocence in three days, but now he can't prove it. Isn't that embarrassing?"

"You can rest assured about this. Not many people know about this matter. Besides, the sect only has one disciple under the sect master. They will definitely find a way to suppress the matter. Let's just talk about it privately and not let others know, so as not to cause trouble."

Zhou Ran was getting more and more excited listening to them. But suddenly, the two stopped talking. He still wanted to hear more details, so he walked towards their direction and said, "Junior Brother, Junior Sister..."

"Not good, someone's here, let's go."

Saying that, the male and female disciples ran away.

Zhou Ran only saw their backs and was speechless for a moment.

I won't report your secret meeting, I just wanted to hear about Zhang Chi's misfortune!

The Sword Sect prohibits disciples below the Foundation Building stage from privately exchanging teachings, but they can talk about love, even establish a relationship, but they must not have secret meetings or engage in improper relationships.

Anything that is prohibited will always have people who do it.

Suddenly, he thought that he might have encountered a pair of secret lovers, and he didn't think much about it.

But the last sentence from the male disciple reminded him.

If Zhang Chi's wrongdoing is suppressed by the sect master, not many people will know about it.

Thinking that he had lost face in the entire Sword Sect, and Zhang Chi had finally made a mistake, how could he miss this opportunity?
