Chapter 80: It's Done

Between master and disciple, there was a hint of ambiguity due to Zhang Chi's words.

Zhang Chi was confident that Jiang Qingyun wouldn't dare to confront him head-on, and even if she did, he wasn't afraid.

At most, it would be a case of betraying the master and destroying the ancestor, directly revealing everything.

Could it be that Jiang Qingyun still couldn't bear to truly punish him?

As a disciple of the Sword Sect, what they wanted was the will to draw their sword when facing enemies.

As for which sword it was, that was not important.

Jiang Qingyun indeed showed signs of fear, pretending to be angry as she reprimanded, "Stop talking nonsense. I came to see you today by coincidence. What does it have to do with Tang Ruoling?"

"Then why did Master come to find me?"

"You were originally confined because of your false claims about Qing Hui. Now that Qing Hui is dead, it proves your judgment was correct. There's no need to continue the confinement. I'm keeping an eye on you for a few days just to temper your character."

No need for explanations, those who understand, understand.

If it weren't for Tang Ruoling coming over that night, this formation wouldn't have existed at all.

The main purpose was to protect the food.

Zhang Chi saw through it but didn't expose it, just silently watching Jiang Qingyun's sophistry.

Jiang Qingyun felt a bit guilty under his gaze but still stated her decision.

"I heard that you've been studying talismans recently. Since you're interested, I plan to send you to the Talisman Treasure Sect to study. However, you are my senior brother in the sect, so openly learning spells from another sect is not good. Therefore, I plan to send you out for training, change your name, and go to the Talisman Treasure Sect. You have two years to do so. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you must come back."

This was a lie. Jiang Qingyun had no intention of letting him come back.

Her plan had already begun, and within half a year, the four lower sects would all fall.

The Talisman Treasure Sect was one of the three middle sects and was very close to the Dragon Transformation Palace, making it relatively safe.

Several sects of the Dragon River Alliance had this exchange student system, as long as there was a relationship, tuition, and someone to guarantee, one could go and learn non-core spells from other sects.

Of course, it was usually the lower sects going to the middle sects, and the middle sects going to the upper sects.

Jiang Qingyun's goal was simple: send Zhang Chi away to prevent him from getting involved with Tang Ruoling and Long Yan, and also to avoid him getting caught up in the turmoil.

Changing his name and joining the Talisman Treasure Sect was also a precaution against Zi Mian.

Jiang Qingyun's plan was indeed deep.

In order to protect Zhang Chi, she had put in a lot of effort.

Coincidentally, Zhang Chi wanted to leave the Sword Sect.

He was wealthy now, and it was a great opportunity to develop outside. In the Sword Sect, many people knew him, and he had the burden of being an idol.

Going to another place would mean less attention.

However, before leaving, he still had to deal with Long Yan for Jiang Qingyun.

"Master, are you a member of the Demon Race?"

Zhang Chi suddenly asked, catching Jiang Qingyun off guard, almost unable to react.

"Why do you say that? Does Master look like a bad person?"

"Of course not. In my heart, Master will always be the most respectable person."

Zhang Chi's answer was serious, and his gaze towards Jiang Qingyun was intense, as if he was looking at his most cherished treasure.

His devotion made Jiang Qingyun both happy and afraid.

She was happy that Zhang Chi admired her so much, but afraid that her mask would eventually be torn off.

At that time, she didn't know how Zhang Chi would feel.

In any case, she could only hide it for one more day.

"Since you don't think I am a bad person, why are you asking this?"

Zhang Chi calmly replied, "Because a spy from the Dragon Transformation Palace suspects you of being from the Demon Race, and there is some evidence pointing to you."

"Oh? Please explain in detail," Jiang Qingyun said.

In fact, Jiang Qingyun had already been secretly observing everything, but hearing Zhang Chi's confession from him made her feel completely different.

Zhang Chi would not hide the truth from Long Yan. It was important to distinguish between enemies and friends.

Zhang Chi then explained to Jiang Qingyun how he discovered that Long Yan was a spy, how he captured her, and how they became allies. He revealed all the details without reservation.

When looking for a partner, it is important to be honest at the right time. This way, they will see you as an honest person.

By betraying Long Yan, Zhang Chi gained more favor with Jiang Qingyun.

"In short... I trust my master, but my master still needs to be cautious of enemies lurking in the shadows, not only Long Yan, who wants to investigate the truth, but also the Demon Race hidden in the dark," Zhang Chi said.

Jiang Qingyun nodded, proud of her beloved disciple.

He also revealed some details that Jiang Qingyun didn't know.

"Hmm, did you say her surname is Long?"

Jiang Qingyun suddenly realized an important point.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with that surname?"

"The ancestor of the Dao Integration Realm in the Dragon Transformation Palace also has the surname Long."

There aren't many people with the surname Long, and they are from the same Dragon Transformation Palace. They should be the same person.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel regretful.

I only knew she was wealthy, but I didn't know she was such a powerful wealthy woman.

The Dao Integration Realm is an absolute hegemon.

If I had such a father-in-law, I could have saved a hundred years of struggle.

Although Long Yan's appearance is average and her figure is not outstanding, she is a wealthy woman after all.

However, thinking that he had already secretly deceived a Demon Race Saintess as his partner, losing a mere father-in-law from the Dao Integration Realm didn't seem like a big deal.

What's a hundred years of struggle? With my beauty and intelligence, I can find someone who can save me a thousand years of struggle.

"Alright, no matter what her identity is, let her investigate. I will act righteously and fearlessly. I'm not afraid of being investigated," Jiang Qingyun said.

While saying this, Jiang Qingyun had already started to plan something new.

Long Yan's identity was so important. If she could be used, perhaps she could expand the territory she planned to take over.

After Jiang Qingyun made her intentions clear, Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Master, since you are not from the Demon Race, I can rest assured."

Rest assured my foot!

Zhang Chi's heart was almost collapsing.

His master was definitely another Demon Race!

There were things that Jiang Qingyun might not even know herself. When she felt guilty in front of Zhang Chi, her gaze would shift elsewhere. But when she told the truth, she would look at Zhang Chi.

Just now, when she said she wasn't from the Demon Race, her eyes were focused on the distance.

This is ridiculous!

Zhang Chi could only pretend to be deceived and show a naive smile.

We really are a perfect match, master and disciple!

Jiang Qingyun instructed Zhang Chi not to get too involved with Long Yan and hurriedly left.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel a headache.

Others could be easily discarded, but this master had been teasing him for several years. It was the time to reap the results. How could he easily give up?

"Second Brother, it seems we still need to do something about Miss Long..."

Another chapter will be posted later.
