After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 38: He is really too gentle

The price of the Lingerie Stone is very expensive, with one worth a hundred Lingerie Stones.

Zhang Chi's monthly basic allowance is only twenty Lingerie Stones, which is already the highest treatment for Qi Condensation disciples.

Of course, Zhang Chi can obtain Lingerie Stones and contribute to the sect by completing various tasks, but a hundred Lingerie Stones is definitely not a small amount.

If he spends so much money and still can't kill Zhou You, wouldn't that be a loss?

At this moment, Chong Xu realized that he was powerless to stop it.

The emotions of the audience had been stirred up, representatives from various factions of the Left River League had arrived, and both the elders and disciples of the Sword Sect were present. No one could make any more moves, and the focus was on transparency.

Actually, Zhang Chi could have thrown out the Lingerie Stone from the beginning, but he didn't.

He explained things one by one, allowing the other party to refute one by one.

And then he threw out the trump card, all the previous refutations were stones that hit his own feet.

In the shocked eyes of Chong Xu and Zhou You, Zhang Chi activated the Lingerie Stone, and the image in the Lingerie Stone quickly projected into the air. It was very clear to see Zhou You entering the room where the account books were placed, and then he lit a fire with his bare hands, setting everything ablaze.

The Lingerie Stone recorded the scene of the arson.

Zhang Chi also explained, "I placed the Lingerie Stone just to protect these account books, but I never expected that Zhou Master would do such a thing.

Originally, I didn't understand why he did it until I heard that Zhou Master had found the Lingerie Stones. Then I understood the reason behind it."

He said this with great pain, clearly unable to believe that Zhou You would do such a thing.

Look, how much he trusted Zhou You, even sharing the most crucial plan with him. He thought that the two of them could catch the thief together, recover the Lingerie Stones, and protect the interests of the Sword Sect and the Left River League. But he never expected that Zhou You would be the mole.

At this point, the facts were already very clear, and the gazes of the crowd towards Chong Xu and Qinghui became particularly complicated.

Zhou You was the mole, and his identity as the thief was also very obvious.

Although there was no evidence, the people here didn't solely rely on evidence.

When someone's lie is exposed, the other things they say will also be questioned for their authenticity.

And when someone's words are confirmed, the other things they say become more credible.

That's the situation now.

Zhang Chi mentioned the fishing plan, Zhou You completely denied it, and Chong Xu also denied it.

Now Zhou You could be marked as a confirmed villain, so what about Chong Xu? What role did he play in this incident?

"Traitor! How dare you do such a thing!"

Chong Xu reacted quickly, angrily scolding and raising his hand as if to kill Zhou You.

"Admit to all the crimes, and I can still find a way to save you."

Chong Xu's mind was very clear.

There was no evidence that could point to him, the elder, as long as he cut himself off cleanly, there would be no problem.

And as long as he remained standing in this group, others would be safe.

Zhou You was scared and fell to the ground, and Qinghui also cooperated by stopping Chong Xu.

"Elder, please don't act impulsively!"

The three of them cooperated seamlessly and continued the act.

How could Zhang Chi not know their intentions? At this moment, he also spoke up to dissuade, "Elder, please show mercy. Although Zhou Master has made a mistake, it doesn't warrant death.

I believe he was really confused for a moment. Please go easy on him, Sect Master."

Zhang Chi stole the show for a moment. Everyone witnessed how Zhou You treated Zhang Chi before, and now Zhang Chi was actually pleading for him. This made many people unable to understand.

Jiang Qingyun couldn't help but ask, "He burned the account books and drove you out of the sect. Why are you still pleading for him?"

"I believe Zhou Master had some unavoidable reasons. When I left the room to call back the fellow disciples who were picking stones by the river, Zhou Master even tried to dissuade me. At that time, I didn't think much of it, but now I realize that Zhou Master must have been wavering in his heart.

I think he is not inherently evil, there must be some unavoidable reasons behind it."

Zhou You: "..."

He really didn't expect that Zhang Chi would still speak up for him at this time.

In comparison, what has he done that can be considered helpful?

At this moment, Zhou You's heart was greatly condemned.

Chen Runyu's disciples who strongly supported Zhang Chi were in tears.

Our eldest senior brother is really too gentle!

But precisely because he is so gentle and upright, he is easily framed by other villains.

At this time, they must stand up.

Senior brother, you are responsible for being gentle to the end, and we are responsible for overcoming obstacles!

She began to contact her sisters, preparing to cause trouble, while Zhang Chi's performance continued.

At this moment, he really felt like he was back in the courtroom.

There were a lot of people present, and he had to be careful with his positioning, otherwise the other party might make a one-for-one exchange.

Jiang Qingyun seemed to have taken Zhang Chi's advice to heart and asked Zhou You, "Zhou You, why did you burn the account book, and did you really find the location of the spirit stones by chance, or did someone tell you where they were hidden?"

"I just didn't want to see Zhang Chi succeed, so I burned the account book. I found the spirit stones purely by luck."

Zhou You's argument was mainly about being stubborn.

According to Zhang Chi's plan, he was the one who deserved the most credit. If they were to divide it, Zhang Chi would only get the soup while he got the meat.

And Zhou You's reason was that he didn't want Zhang Chi to have the soup. He would rather smash the pot than eat his own meat.

Is this reasonable?

Isn't this basically saying that I'll take all the responsibility, but don't expect to have more clues?

In this world, evidence is important, but the role of evidence is only to make people believe the truth.

Now, Zhang Chi indeed has no evidence to prove that Chong Xu was involved in this matter, but it is enough at this stage.

If he used the photo stone to record the letter written by Zhou You, the effect would be even better, but it would damage his upright image.

I, Zhang Chi, never engage in conspiracies and calculations, only legitimate self-defense.

If there is no evidence, he doesn't care. After this battle, who would still think that Chong Xu is innocent?

Everyone feels aggrieved instead.

Everyone knows that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, but they can't do anything to him.

This is Chong Xu's way of seeking death.

If he really reveals everything, his crimes are not that serious, just covering up for a criminal for his own benefit.

And now, his status has changed from an accomplice to the main culprit, and Qinghui has changed from the main culprit to an accomplice. Even if Qinghui admits one day that he masterminded the theft case, others will think he is taking the blame for Chong Xu.

At this point in the story, Zhang Chi doesn't need to do anything else.

Zhou You's answer has completely ignited the anger of the crowd, and everyone also hates Chong Xu.

His previous behavior of snatching credit was despicable, then he framed Zhang Chi, pretending to only ask for an apology, which was also disgusting. Now, after the fact, he refuses to admit his guilt, making people even more furious.

The disciples of the Sword Sect have their own dignity. It's one thing to lose face in their own sect, but now that the allies of the Left River League have arrived, they have lost face in front of outsiders.

Who wouldn't be angry?

"Zhou You is obstinate and unrepentant. I request that the sect leader punish him severely."

Elder Chong Ling advised, and several other elders also expressed their clear stance.

However, Jiang Qingyun looked at Zhang Chi and asked, "Do you still think he has a conscience and deserves forgiveness?"

She wanted to take this opportunity to teach this disciple a lesson and let him know the consequences of trusting others too easily.

Zhang Chi didn't answer, he just sighed helplessly.

This sigh was enough to make people speculate.

Was he disappointed in Zhou You, or in the Sword Sect, or perhaps, disappointed in himself for not being able to save someone?
