After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 56: Master's Secret

Zhou You had a plan in mind and pretended to be concerned as he said to Zhang Chi, "It's not safe outside right now. If it's not necessary, it's better not to go out, right?"

Zhang Chi shook his head and said, "Tang Miss got into danger because of me, and I couldn't personally save her. If I don't go see her now, she will be upset."

"Then you must be careful on the way, it's best to ask a familiar elder to protect you."

"No need, it's not far, I can fly there quickly. Thank you for your concern, senior brother."

Saying that, Zhang Chi left calmly.

Zhou You watched his figure and a hint of struggle flashed in his eyes, but he ultimately made up his mind.

He knew that what he was doing was not fair to Zhang Chi, but practical benefits were more important than these moral principles.

Zhang Chi was simply too naive and could be said to be kind to the point of foolishness.

Such a person was destined to not go far in this world.

Without being ruthless, one cannot stand firm. He had framed Zhang Chi before, but only showed a little kindness, and Zhang Chi forgave him. Wasn't he a pure fool?

Zhou You turned his head and wanted to go find Chong Xu to report this matter.

But the image of Chong Xu calling him useless and Zhou Ran also calling him useless appeared in his mind.

His footsteps stopped.

He used to be a genius youth of the Sword Sect!

Now, he was already at the Foundation Building Stage. Did he still need to report to Chong Xu to assassinate someone with a lower cultivation level than his own son in the Qi Condensation Stage?

If things were successful, Chong Xu definitely wouldn't give him credit. If things didn't work out, he would be blamed.

In that case, he would do it himself.

He had to overcome the kindness in his heart and personally arrange a perfect assassination.

He wanted to prove to his father and son that Zhou You was not useless!

However, Zhou You didn't know that when he regarded Zhang Chi as prey, he had already fallen into Zhang Chi's trap...

Now let's talk about Zhang Chi. He flew all the way to the Spiritual Medicine Valley on his sword and nothing happened along the way.

When he arrived at the Spiritual Medicine Valley, Zhang Chi first went to apologize to Tang Feng.

Tang Feng had already figured out the reason and of course wouldn't blame Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi didn't intend not to go, and it was also a coincidence that he ended up saving Tang Ruoling. He had no reason to blame himself.

On the contrary, Tang Ruoling felt a little guilty when she saw Zhang Chi like this.

Although he didn't come to save her, his intentions were there.

At that time, he knew there was danger but still willingly went, but he was accidentally tricked by his junior sister.

But when it came to matters of the heart, Zhang Chi had indeed shown his intentions. He came to see her today on purpose.

On the other hand, Tang Ruoling might do many things that would hurt Zhang Chi in the future. Just thinking about it made Tang Ruoling feel uneasy.

However, Tang Feng thought she had been kidnapped and frightened, so he tactfully gave them some space and let Tang Ruoling take Zhang Chi around the Spiritual Medicine Valley to familiarize himself with the environment.

Typically, he put the dog and the meat together.

Tang Ruoling hadn't figured out how to face Zhang Chi yet, and her tone was a bit harsh as she said, "Where do you want to go?"

"Let's find a secluded place where no one will disturb us."

Tang Ruoling's face immediately turned red, embarrassed as she said, "Don't daydream. It's daytime!"

Zhang Chi: "..."

See, we really have a telepathic connection.

Zhang Chi, of course, had a gentlemanly appearance and said, "I have something to tell you."

"Okay then, just don't mess around."

"Don't worry."

I won't mess around in a general way.

The most secretive place was Tang Ruoling's boudoir.

But it was broad daylight, and it was a bit inappropriate to bring a man to her own boudoir.

Spiritual Medicine Valley is very large, surrounded by small mountains and valleys, as well as some hidden caves. Some special Spirit Medicine can only grow in this kind of environment.

For example, a certain cave mushroom needs to grow in a warm and humid place.

Tang Ruoling brought Zhang Chi to a place where cave mushrooms are cultivated and said, "Only in the morning when collecting morning dew and at night when watering, will someone come here. You can say whatever you want now."

"Sit down first, let me see if you're injured."

"I'm not, don't worry."

"Let me check."

Tang Ruoling: "......"

Didn't we agree not to mess around?

And it's still broad daylight!

Although no one usually comes here, there is no door blocking the entrance. She was extremely afraid in her heart, but at the same time, she felt particularly excited.

Although she said no, her body was already excited.

Zhang Chi was also straightforward. After pondering for two days, he finally had the opportunity to verify his ideas.

As the saying goes, "The sun sets in the mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea, to explore a thousand miles, go up one more floor."

When Tang Ruoling burst out a pile of water chestnuts, Zhang Chi knew that today was the day.

The Nine Probes of the Divine Dragon were indeed effective. He felt that his spirit had been subtly strengthened, but it was a bit exhausting.

Tang Ruoling blushed, leaning against Zhang Chi's chest, looking lazy and weak, her eyes filled with accusation.

"I will never trust you again, you big liar."

"Whether I lie or not doesn't matter, as long as it works."

"You!"

Tang Ruoling was quite angry and punched Zhang Chi's chest with her small fist. She didn't realize that it had a hint of flirtation, and she still thought she was performing a heroic act of defiance!

Afterwards, Zhang Chi happily ate the water chestnuts while Tang Ruoling, embarrassed, couldn't stop him.

"There's plenty of water in these water chestnuts, do you want to taste them?"

"No, get away!"

Zhang Chi teased Tang Ruoling again before asking seriously, "What happened yesterday? How were you captured and how were you rescued?"

Although he already knew the whole process from Zi Mian, Zhang Chi asked again.

Tang Ruoling then recounted her experience of being kidnapped by the person in the purple mask.

"I felt that it wasn't human, it was stiff like some kind of spiritual wood. And it was the only one guarding me the whole time, I didn't see anyone else."

After finishing her story, Tang Ruoling realized that she seemed to be subtly explaining to Zhang Chi that she didn't take advantage of anyone.

"Hmph, he's not someone to me, why should I explain?"

Zhang Chi, however, was thinking about the direction of the purple mask.

The girl with the codename Zi Mian is a high-ranking member of the organization. To avoid suspicion, her subordinates cannot directly use purple masks, that's common knowledge.

Unless Zi Mian has some special regulations, her subordinates use purple masks as a symbol.

Combining Tang Ruoling's words, it is more likely that the black-robed person with the purple mask was a controlled puppet.

Zi Mian has the ability to remotely control puppet movements.

Thinking about it, her sudden appearance of reinforcements yesterday was not just an empty threat.

Since the puppet came, who stopped it?

Today, no one in the Sword Sect discussed this matter, obviously the person who stopped the puppet also chose to conceal it.

And the person who had the leisure to help him stop the puppet was probably only Jiang Qingyun.

According to common sense, if Jiang Qingyun discovered someone new who had hostility towards him, he would definitely warn him to be careful.

Under what circumstances would she choose not to say?

Zhang Chi faintly felt that he had touched upon Jiang Qingyun's secret, but there were too few clues at the moment to draw any valid conclusions.

But following this line of thought should yield results.

"When I completely grasp Master's secret one day, hehe..."
