After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 364 My Love For My Senior Brother Is True

Upon hearing Zhang Chi's words, Chen Runyu's pupils trembled.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing as she stared at Zhang Chi, her expression filled with confusion, as if her idol had collapsed.

Zhang Chi's expression remained calm as he calmly observed every subtle detail of Chen Runyu's expression.

At this point, Zhang Chi was fearless. Even if everything collapsed, he didn't care anymore.

In the past, he had to maintain a perfect image in Sword Sect in order to survive. But now that Sword Sect was gone, it didn't matter whether he pretended or not.

He was just forced to pretend along the way.

Now, the collapse might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Before Chen Runyu arrived, Zhang Chi had deeply reflected on himself. He realized that he had been too rigid in the past. After obtaining Gu Youyou, he swung to the other extreme, thinking that he should only care about himself.

So he calculated and hurt Tang Ruoling, and then calculated Chen Runyu. Even his master fell into his calculations.

It was as if he had become a tyrant, thinking that he should be the one to make others suffer, rather than being the one who suffers from others.

From then on, he became dark-hearted and calculating towards everyone he encountered.

It wasn't until he went to the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm and faced the torment of his conscience time and time again that he couldn't distinguish whether he was calculating or playing a role.

Until this time, he took a risky action and suffered a great loss. After deep thought, he realized that he had lost himself for too long without even realizing it.

When he first entered society, he wanted to uphold justice and help the weak. He was once a passionate and kind person.

This world is dangerous and has twisted him at times, making him bend under pressure.

But in the end, he understood his true nature.

He wasn't a purely good person, nor a purely evil person.

Since he was originally in a middle ground, why should he go to extremes?

He only needed to act with a clear conscience, so why should he be bound by what he should or shouldn't do?

And speaking of a guilty conscience, there are only two people Zhang Chi feels guilty towards.

One is Tang Ruoling, who was kidnapped by Gu Youyou. In fact, with Zhang Chi's intelligence, he could have come up with a more secure plan at the time, but he still made that choice.

This was because he already had evil thoughts in his heart. After being a good person for so many years, he didn't know how much darkness he had accumulated, living in constant fear of being underpowered. His soul had twisted.

Gu Youyou's appearance gave him the confidence and strength to do bad things.

Regardless of the current outcome, in the end, the decision he made was evil, and he did indeed hurt Tang Ruoling.

The other person is Chen Runyu.

Chen Runyu trusted him so much, but he was selfish and used her as a shield.

So, this rescue mission did cause him great losses, but he saved the lives of Tang Ruoling and Chen Runyu, which can be considered as his redemption for the past.

Of course, no one knows about this redemption except Zhang Chi himself.

Whether it can offset his guilt is up to Zhang Chi.

So, at this moment, Zhang Chi and Chen Runyu confronted each other.

He didn't intend to delve deep into his past journey, he just told her that he was indeed associated with the Demon Race.

Chen Runyu seemed to have shut herself off. Obviously, she couldn't accept the fact that her senior brother was involved with the Demon Race.

In this world, there is no one who would say that being involved with the Demon Race is beyond one's control. The issue of stance is irreconcilable.

Demons and humans are natural enemies. When humans get involved with demons, regardless of the reason, it is a sin and should be punished.

This kind of thinking is deeply ingrained, and only transmigrators like Zhang Chi would not take it seriously because he had a complete set of values since childhood and was not easily influenced by the surrounding environment.

Seeing Chen Runyu like this, Zhang Chi originally thought he wouldn't be disappointed, but there was still a little bit of disappointment in his heart.

She used to be his die-hard fan, but now she's probably going to stop being a fan.

But it's also good this way. She was only a fan of the false image he created, so it's not a big deal if the facade collapses.

"Here's the Dragon Ball, I'm leaving."

Zhang Chi had nothing else to say, so he put down the Dragon Ball and turned to walk towards the ocean.

He didn't expose his relationship with Ao Long either. Ao Long was hiding underwater at the moment!

Seeing Zhang Chi turn and leave, Chen Runyu finally reacted and hurriedly caught up, asking, "Where are you going?"

"To a different place, to start a new life."

Zhang Chi said calmly.

Actually, he was just finding a place to hide. He felt that as his mind opened up, the barrier of the Divine Soul realm was loosening.

Clearly, breaking through the Divine Soul realm requires a certain amount of experience and a strong enough Divine Soul, but it doesn't necessarily mean that one has to wait for enough time to pass before breaking through. Like him, he already had the opportunity to break through.

After finding a place to hide and spending some time breaking through to the Divine Soul realm, perhaps he could use this to make up for Gu Youyou and wake her up earlier.

"Can I go with you?"

Chen Runyu said something that surprised Zhang Chi. He couldn't help but look at her and ask, "You want to follow me even though I'm associating with demons?"

Chen Runyu shook her head and said seriously, "I was just shocked and couldn't believe it earlier, but regardless of whether you are associated with the Demon Race or not, you are still my most respected senior brother."

"Oh, I thought you would cut ties with me!"

Zhang Chi said casually, but his mood suddenly improved.

"I won't!"

Chen Runyu anxiously grabbed Zhang Chi's wrist, causing him to stop and look at her.

Chen Runyu also looked at Zhang Chi with a pure but serious gaze.

"Senior brother, I believe in you."

"Even at this point, you still believe?"

Zhang Chi was shocked by the persistence of his fan. He had already admitted his guilt as an idol, yet she still idolized him.

"I just do!"

Chen Runyu seemed to have become less intelligent, but in reality, her intelligence had increased at this moment.

"If you weren't trying to save us, you wouldn't have revealed yourself, right?"

Chen Runyu was very clear about this because Zhang Chi had returned the Dragon Ball to her.

And the biggest advantage of fighting with Long Yi was the Dragon Ball.

If it wasn't for protecting her, why would Zhang Chi expose himself?

Since Zhang Chi had done so much for her, why should she be fixated on whether he was associated with the Demon Race or not?

"No matter what your identity is, the care you have shown me in the past is real, and saving my life is real, and... my feelings for you..."

At this point, Chen Runyu suddenly stuttered.

Naturally, she was a bit shy, unlike those women with overwhelming combat power. In front of Zhang Chi, Chen Runyu always had the shyness of a young girl.

However, she realized that there were so many people coveting Zhang Chi, and if she didn't make a move now, she wouldn't have a chance in the future.

"And also, my love for you is real!" (End of this chapter)
