After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 84: Zi Mian's Overbearing Presence (Third Update)

Zhang Chi kept Tang Ruoling's safety in mind while planning his escape.

After all, she was his first woman, so when the opportunity arose, Zhang Chi would naturally try to help her.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to stamp his seal, Zhang Chi carefully observed Azure Lotus Elder's territory.

He could confirm that if he really wanted to steal the Formation Token from here, he would need an insider's cooperation.

Otherwise, even if he managed to steal it, he wouldn't be able to take the Formation Token out.

The Formation Token had a built-in tracking function, so without powerful sealing methods, it was like carrying a GPS device, with no place to hide.

That Water Monster who made Tang Ruoling do the work was either stupid or malicious.

As Tang Ruoling's master, Zhang Chi would certainly not let her off!

Now let's switch gears.

After returning to Spiritual Medicine Valley, Tang Ruoling felt that her time was running out.

Before confessing to Zhang Chi, she still had a chance.

But now that everything was out in the open, Zhang Chi definitely wouldn't help her steal the Formation Token.

Tang Ruoling was well aware that Zhang Chi was not someone who would disregard the importance of things. The request made by Elder Qinghe was simply impossible for her to fulfill.

It was just pitiful that at such a young age, she would meet such a tragic end.

And her father...

Tang Ruoling didn't know how devastated Tang Feng would be after her death.

"Sigh..."

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Zhang Chi again?"

Tang Feng appeared out of nowhere, startling Tang Ruoling.

"Dad, why didn't I hear you coming?"

"It's not that I didn't make any sound, it's just that you were too absorbed in your thoughts! So, did you have an unpleasant meeting with Zhang Chi today? Tell Dad, and Dad will vent your anger for you."

Tang Feng pretended to be ready to beat up Zhang Chi, but it was just for show.

Seeing this, Tang Ruoling felt a tinge of sadness.

"Don't worry, Dad, Zhang Chi and I didn't fight."

"Then, have you made up?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

"That's good, that's good."

Seeing Tang Feng's foolish happiness, Tang Ruoling couldn't bear to tell him the truth. After much thought, she decided to send Tang Feng away from the Left River Territory.

"Speaking of which, when will Dad go on his next business trip?"

The medicines from Spiritual Medicine Valley were not only sold in the Left River Territory. When a certain amount had been accumulated each year, Spiritual Medicine Valley would requisition a merchant ship to sell them in Dragon City.

"There's no rush for that. It's not too late for you and Zhang Chi to officially become Dao companions before I go."

The medicinal materials in Spiritual Medicine Valley were already well-stocked, but when to set off was up to Tang Feng, the Valley Master.

Tang Ruoling said, "Today, the Left River League is in constant turmoil. It's probably not a good time for Jiang Sect Master to spare the time for our engagement. Dad, why don't you go on the business trip first? I heard that the Weapon Refining Pavilion in Dragon City has produced a decorative Law Weapon called 'Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness'. Buy it and bring it back as a gift for us, how about that?"

"Hmm..."

Tang Feng considered it.

He wanted to settle things as soon as possible to avoid any complications.

But Tang Ruoling was not wrong. Too many things had happened in the Left River League recently, and it was not a good time for a wedding.

Seeing his hesitation, Tang Ruoling quickly increased her persuasion.

"Although the 'Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness' Law Weapon doesn't have much practical use, it's said to be very beautiful. Dad, I want it!"

"Alright, I'll buy it!"

Easily fooled, Tang Feng immediately arranged for people to prepare the merchant ship.

In just three days, the ship was fully equipped and ready to set sail at any time.

"I'll go on this trip alone. Along the way, I'll sell the goods, stopping at each port for only three days. It's estimated that we'll reach Dragon City in thirty days. By then, I'll have saved up enough spirit stones to buy the 'Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness' for you. Dad will come back, so you take care at home. Keep the Formation Token with you at all times, understand?"

Before leaving, Tang Feng repeatedly reminded Tang Ruoling.

Tang Ruoling calmly said, "Don't worry, I will take care of myself."

This time, it should be a permanent farewell.

Elder Qinghe has already given her more than half of the time, but she has not taken any action at all.

Perhaps after tonight, Elder Qinghe will come to hold her accountable.

She doesn't know if she can hold on for three more days.

In any case, as long as she sends her father away, it will be fine.

"Dad, you must buy the 'Dragon and Phoenix Bring Auspiciousness' for me. I promised Zhang Chi, don't embarrass me."

"Don't worry, when have I ever let you down? When I come back, I will go to propose to Master Jiang!"

"Okay."

Tang Ruoling stood at the harbor and waved goodbye until the merchant ship was far away. Only then did she turn her head as if nothing had happened.

She must conceal her emotions well, so that Tang Feng won't notice, otherwise, he won't be able to leave.

Leaving the harbor, Tang Ruoling only wanted to go home.

But halfway through, she was stopped by a black-robed person wearing a purple mask.

It's daytime now, and she actually showed up.

"Why are you here?"

"Do you have the nerve to ask me that?"

Zi Mian's mentality has collapsed.

She and Tang Ruoling had agreed to act together, to create publicity. As a result, she spent a lot of money to create an atmosphere, but coincidentally, the newly appointed Elder of Sword Sect took office.

The hype had to be reduced.

Well, she accepted that.

Afterwards, she spent a lot of money to attract many people to see the doctors she arranged, and the performance lasted for three full days.

But when the stage was set and the script was ready, Tang Ruoling, the lead actress, didn't show up.

She also wanted to go to Spiritual Medicine Valley to find Tang Ruoling, but during the inventory of medicinal materials, the alert formation was activated.

She couldn't enter Spiritual Medicine Valley without alarming the formation, so she could only wait outside.

Finally, when Tang Ruoling came out, she asked why she was there instead.

Wow, did you completely forget about it?

For a moment, Zi Mian wanted to directly activate the Heart Devouring Gu and bite her to death.

Feeling Zi Mian's anger, Tang Ruoling remembered that they had made an appointment...

This is awkward.

These days, Tang Ruoling has been thinking about her limited time, so how could she remember this?

Besides, Zhang Chi also has feelings for her, so this flashy operation doesn't mean much.

"I'm sorry, I've encountered some things recently, and I may not be able to continue working with you."

"What happened? Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Tang Ruoling nodded and said, "I have offended a very powerful force. Anyway, they have also done something to me. I don't intend to listen to their orders, so I'm probably not far from death."

"What kind of people dare to touch my people?"

Zi Mian's first thought was anger.

She and Tang Ruoling may not be best friends, but they are comrades fighting against Zhang Chi.

She didn't know that Tang Ruoling had already been hypnotized by Zhang Chi and treated her as someone who could be manipulated.

At this moment, she naturally wanted to protect her capable subordinate at all costs.

"Tell me, who targeted you? Those who dare to touch my people will pay the price."

Zi Mian at this moment was quite domineering.

However, this was only in front of Tang Ruoling.

As for her true self, she was now like a quail, cowering in front of Zhang Chi.

Previously, when Zhang Chi was under house arrest, he didn't look for her much, and she almost forgot that she still had a master.

Until today, when Zhang Chi suddenly called her to his room...
