"Tonight I came outside your window again. Your shadow on the curtains is so cute..."
A strange BGM sounded in Zhang Chi's mind, and he quickly tapped it.
Stop, stop, turn off the music.
I thought the song was good when I listened to it back then, but now that I am the outsider, I always feel that this behavior is a bit scary.
Don't frighten Tang Ruoling if you are doing nothing in the dark at night.
Zhang Chi raised his hand, ready to knock on the window, but before his hand fell, he happened to hear the movement inside.
"Smelly man, let's see if I don't stab you to death!"
Zhang Chi: "..."
What show was he catching up on?
Driven by curiosity, Zhang Chi dipped his hands in saliva, pierced the window paper and took a peek.
She was holding a silver needle in her hand, and five steps away were two puppets with portraits of Zhang Chi hanging on their faces.
Probably because she was addicted to acupuncture, Tang Ruoling didn't notice the movement outside the house.
She fluttered her palms, flicked her ten fingers, and silver needles flew out quickly, hitting various acupuncture points on Zhang Chi's body accurately.
Precise and elegant.
Obviously, Tang Ruoling was also very satisfied with her technique and took out another pack of silver needles.
"I was too careless last time and was misunderstood by that stinky man. Bah! Narcissist!"
The more Tang Ruoling thought about it, the angrier she became, especially when Zhang Chi showed her a doting smile, which made her feel that she had been humiliated, which was even more humiliating than being at the mercy of others.
"This time I will use a silver needle to quench the poison. It should be foolproof."
I have to say that Tang Ruoling is quite strong.
The failure did not discourage her, but she was thinking about improving her skills.
She has a lot of research in medicine, but she never thought of using silver needles to harm people before. This is a tool to save people.
But facing Zhang Chi, Tang Ruoling decided to put down her bottom line.
She soaked the silver needle in the dark potion, stirred it, and laughed strangely.
"Hehehe, once I catch you, no matter how you beg me for mercy, I will never let you go!"
Tang Ruoling's lips widened as she imagined the scene of herself torturing Zhang Chi.
Leng Buding heard a voice asking: "What is this medicine used for?"
"Anesthetic can make people's muscles and bones soft, making them unconscious and unconscious."
Tang Ruoling answered subconsciously, and then came back to her senses. She glanced nervously and found that there was someone else by the window, and that person was Zhang Chi.
Tang Ruoling was so frightened that she took three steps back: "Why are you here!"
Could it be that he wants to bully people again?
If I don't go to him, he will come to me on his own?
Tang Ruoling thought of what she might encounter next, and thought she would have the courage to resist, but her body lost strength and her knees became weak.
Zhang Chi didn't explain, just climbed in through the window.
"Don't come over here!"
Tang Ruoling stepped back one after another, but accidentally tripped over the puppet and fell to the ground.
This fragile look really makes people want to bully her severely.
Zhang Chi, who was not here to do bad things, was a little interested.
"Do you like this kind of tone? Let's play next time. I have business today."
Tang Ruoling: "!"
Humiliation! What a disgrace!
As a foundation-building half-demon, her performance was indeed too unbearable.
But why is my body disobedient?
Tang Ruoling was ashamed and angry, her face turned red from holding back.
Zhang Chi ignored her, but used a needle bag to collect all the silver needles that had been tempered with medicine.
"Don't be afraid, I will only do business tonight."
Zhang Chi pulled up Tang Ruoling, who was still shy and annoyed, and whispered softly in her ear: "Listen carefully, let's first..."
Dahe Jianzong, Tingchao Pavilion.
This place is the training place of the Jian Sect. It is said that the ancestors of the Jian Sect watched the water and listened to the tide here, and then they realized the Great River Sword Sutra and founded the sect here, gradually becoming a giant.
In order to commemorate their ancestors, pay homage to their legacy, and better understand the Dahe Sword Sutra, later generations built the Tingchao Pavilion here.
There are not many people who can understand the Sword Sutra, but there are also many who have a breakthrough in their state of mind after listening to the sound of the tide.
Zhou Ran was also in the pavilion at this time. He didn't come here on his own initiative, but came here as a result of punishment.
The great elder thought that his temperament needed more tempering, and ordered him to think about his mistakes in the Tingchao Pavilion, listen to the tide more, and sharpen his mind.
But how could Zhou Ran listen?
He only felt that the sound of the tide in the Panlong River was irritating. He couldn't calm down for a moment, and his mind kept thinking about what happened before.
Of course he doesn't think it's his problem. Since it's not his problem, it must be Zhang Chi's problem!
"Why can't it be him plotting against me? Tang Feng didn't see any sign of the thief, so why couldn't it be directed and acted by Zhang Chi?"
In fact, Zhou Ran himself didn't believe this statement, but he just wasn't convinced and wanted to fight.
But what's the use of arguing with himself? No one in the entire sect believes in him.
Amidst the sound of the surging tide, he hated Zhang Chi even more.
Suddenly, he heard someone speaking.
"Hey, have you heard about senior brother?"
The words "eldest brother" instantly attracted Zhou Ran's attention.
Zhou Ran pricked up his ears to listen. At this moment, someone happened to ask for him: "What's wrong, senior brother?"
"I heard that he went to investigate the theft of the spirit stone and was driven back. Just now, many people saw it at the gate of the sect!"
"Hey, senior brother is so powerful, how could he be driven back? Is someone deliberately bullying him?"
Zhou Ran was excited as he listened and became even more attentive.
"It's not that he made a mistake himself.
He put the ledger in his room, but he didn't keep it there all the time. Someone must have taken advantage of the loophole, set it on fire, and all the ledger was gone."
"Since it's a spiritual stone theft case, then if the ledger is lost, it won't have much impact, right?"
"But he had suspected that Elder Qinghui was guarding theft. At that time, in Jianghe Palace, although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone could hear this.
Now that the account book is gone, there is a stain on Elder Qinghui, and it’s hard to explain.”
"Could it be that Elder Qinghui sent someone to destroy the evidence?"
It can be heard that among the man and woman talking, the woman should be a supporter of Zhang Chi.
Zhou Ran was even more unhappy about this.
Obviously he is also very handsome, but the female disciples of the sect like Zhang Chi more.
Huh, what a vision!
Zhou Ran liked what the male disciple said very much.
"There is no evidence, and no one knows who did it. I also said that maybe Zhang Chi couldn't find any clues and deliberately burned the account book to shift the responsibility to others!
No matter what, it is a fact that he failed to keep his account books, and he was not unjustly kicked out."
"Then what should we do? Senior Brother has been saying for three days that he would prove Elder Qinghui's innocence, but now he can't prove it. Isn't it embarrassing?"
"You can rest assured about this. Not many people know about this matter. Besides, the leader is just such a disciple, so he will definitely find a way to suppress the matter. Let's just talk about it in private and don't let others know.
Oh, so as not to get into trouble."
Zhou Ran was listening enthusiastically when the two people suddenly stopped talking. He wanted to hear more details, so he walked in that direction and said: "Two junior brothers and junior sisters..."
"No, there's someone here, let's go quickly."
As he said that, the man and woman ran away.
Zhou Ran only saw the back and was speechless.
I'm not going to report your secret meeting, I just want to hear about Zhang Chi's bad luck!
The Jianzong prohibits disciples below the level of Zhuji from teaching or receiving privately. They can talk about love and even identify Taoist partners, but they are not allowed to have private meetings or engage in ethical matters.
Whatever is forbidden, someone will do it.
He suddenly thought that he must have encountered a pair of wild mandarin ducks, but he didn't think much about it.
But the male disciple's last words reminded him.
If Zhang Chi's crime was suppressed by the boss, not many people would know about it.
Thinking that he had embarrassed the entire Sword Sect, and Zhang Chi finally made a mistake, how could he miss this opportunity?
