Chapter 154: Love Brain Witch
Zi Mian's thoughts are slightly different from those of normal people.
Instead of betraying Zhang Chi at the most opportune moment, she chose to cooperate with his performance.
Of course, Zhang Chi is not afraid that she won't cooperate.
A mere maid can't turn the tide.
If he rebels in the middle of the night, he must have a reason to avoid arousing Jiang Qingyun's suspicion.
Also, why did he appear so quietly that Jiang Qingyun didn't notice at first, but upon careful consideration afterwards, she would realize that something was amiss.
So now he has to come up with a good reason and give Jiang Qingyun a reasonable explanation.
Continuing from the previous conversation, Zhang Chi looked Zi Mian up and down and said, "I heard that Xiaoyu has been ignoring you these days, so I'm afraid you might be feeling down, that's why I came to see you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyun couldn't help but be curious about the conflict between Chen Runyu and Zi Mian. As for Zhang Chi coming to visit Zi Mian, that wasn't surprising.
After all, Zi Mian and he had spent some time together in the secret realm. If he didn't know Zi Mian's true nature and took extra care of her, it would be in line with Zhang Chi's usual style.
Zi Mian listened to Zhang Chi mention Chen Runyu and felt a bit sad, but still replied, "I'm fine."
"In fact, misunderstandings can be resolved once they are brought to light. I know you're not a bad person, you just lacked a sense of security at that time. Talk to Xiaoyu about it, she will definitely understand you."
Zhang Chi repeated the words from that day's conversation, and Jiang Qingyun shook her head in disbelief.
My foolish disciple, you clearly can't judge people, so why are you so confident?
Jiang Qingyun was quite troubled. How could someone like Zhang Chi lead Sword Sect to survive in such a harsh environment?
Who knows if he will be deceived by some wicked woman? If Sword Sect is lost, it's lost, but what if someone sets their sights on Zhang Chi?
Zi Mian didn't know if Zhang Chi was acting or not, so she could only go along and say, "I will explain it to her."
"That's good. However, it's better to say some things sooner rather than later. Tomorrow and accidents, who knows which will come first. Perhaps if you don't say certain things, you won't have another chance to say them."
Zhang Chi's tone suddenly became tinged with sadness, and Zi Mian understood. He was saying this for Jiang Qingyun to hear.
According to her previous thinking, she would definitely cause trouble at this moment, but today, she chose to cooperate.
"Senior Brother, are you thinking of someone?" Jiang Qingyun also perked up her ears.
She thought Zhang Chi was referring to herself, and his words had a great impact on her.
Yes, tomorrow and accidents, who knows which will come first. When Zhang Chi suddenly fell into the Talisman Treasure Sect's secret realm, she was caught off guard and helpless.
What if Zhang Chi had died back then?
So, when you have the opportunity, you must seize it and not hesitate anymore.
Jiang Qingyun made up her mind and finally stopped agonizing over whether or not to go see Zhang Chi.
She didn't know how many hardships she would experience in the future, or if she would have a chance to come back alive and see Zhang Chi again.
Since that's the case, why bother worrying about trivial matters? Isn't that too foolish?
Zhang Chi's words awakened her.
And now, what she is concerned about is who Zhang Chi is thinking of.
Most likely, it's her, but she still wants to hear Zhang Chi say it.
However, how could Zhang Chi satisfy Jiang Qingyun's curiosity?
You want to hear it?
Then I won't say it.
Zhang Chi just sighed lightly and remained silent for a long time.
His emotions were already evident, and his intentions were clear, but he refused to say who it was, deliberately leaving Jiang Qingyun in suspense.
Making her desperately want to know.
But Zhang Chi deliberately skipped over this topic. He felt sorrow in his heart and didn't want to mention it, which was reasonable.
"How has your cultivation been lately? Has your swordsmanship been neglected?" Zhang Chi asked, shocking Jiang Qingyun. This Zi Mian, not only did she manage to infiltrate, but she also pretended to be weak, making Zhang Chi worry about her and even teach her swordsmanship?
Zi Mian: "..."
Is this how you deceive Qing Mian on a regular basis?
The current situation is that Zhang Chi knows Jiang Qingyun is here, but Jiang Qingyun doesn't know that Zhang Chi knows she is here.
Zi Mian understood this clearly. Qing Mian is about to be deceived.
If Qing Mian is deceived, the consequences will be severe.
But...
She chose to cooperate.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. My cultivation hasn't been neglected."
"That's good. The world is in turmoil now. Only through diligent cultivation can we protect ourselves and the people we want to protect."
"Senior Brother, do you have someone you want to protect?"
"In the past, there was one person. Now, all of you are."
Zhang Chi is best at using words that are not romantic to move people.
Of course, it depends on the person. When dealing with fools, he has to be straightforward and make them blush. When dealing with someone like Jiang Qingyun, who would think deeply about the meaning behind his words, he needs to hide his feelings in his words and let her savor them.
Zhang Chi is very skilled at dealing with Jiang Qingyun.
As he expected, Jiang Qingyun had already understood the hidden meaning behind Zhang Chi's words.
In the past, he only wanted to protect one person, but now, because she let the spark of Sword Sect remain, the people he wants to protect have become the members of Sword Sect.
He really...
Jiang Qingyun was moved to the point of tears.
She, a demon with hands stained with blood, was being liked so passionately and sincerely by someone.
Zi Mian didn't catch the intention behind Zhang Chi's words, so she didn't know how to respond and just stood there in a daze.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhang Chi started talking about himself.
"A few days ago, I was bedridden, but unexpectedly, I turned misfortune into a blessing and gained insight into a body technique that allows me to hide and move stealthily, making it difficult for others to detect me.
You mentioned that you were interested in this kind of skill. When you reach the Qi Condensation stage, I can teach it to you."
With this, Zhang Chi finally explained the reason why he could appear silently outside Zi Mian's house. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if Jiang Qingyun realized something was wrong on her own.
Once doubt arises, trust becomes fragile.
Therefore, it is necessary to dispel her doubts from the beginning and not give her any reason to suspect.
Although Zhang Chi's words were somewhat exaggerated, upon closer examination, they made sense.
The so-called "divine soul leaving the body" is actually a phenomenon of the soul separating from the body.
Before reaching the Divine Soul realm, both cultivators and mortals can achieve this.
However, before reaching the Divine Soul realm, this situation is actually very dangerous.
The physical body of a person serves as the protective shell for the Divine Soul. Before the Divine Soul becomes strong enough, if it separates from the physical body and appears alone, there are too many things that can be fatal.
The external sunlight and various evil spirits can harm the Divine Soul.
And if the soul leaves the body and cannot return on its own, over time, it will be unable to go back.
Mortals are more prone to this situation because they do not understand self-cultivation, and the connection between their soul and body is not close. When their emotions are excited, the soul may separate from the body.
For example, when a child is frightened or an adult experiences a great blow...
Excluding those cases where the soul is maliciously hooked, most cases of Divine Soul leaving the body are due to excessively strong emotions.
Cultivators can also experience this, but they cultivate themselves and have a high degree of integration between their body and soul, so the phenomenon of the Divine Soul leaving the body generally does not occur.
Once it happens, cultivators are more dangerous than mortals.
Because mortals' physical bodies have little defense capability, when the soul leaves, it can easily come back.
But cultivators' bodies can resist external evils, and when their own Divine Soul leaves, it is also considered an external evil. It is difficult for the Divine Soul to naturally return after leaving the body.
Even if it does return, it will damage their cultivation and require a long time to recuperate.
Jiang Qingyun had only heard the news that Zhang Chi had been seriously ill before, but she didn't expect the situation to be so serious.
Just being alive was already fortunate for him, but she didn't expect him to also comprehend a body technique.
Although it could be considered a blessing in disguise, she still felt anxious when she thought about it.
"This child has been cultivating for so many years, how can his state of mind be so poor!"
Jiang Qingyun was a little angry at Zhang Chi's insufficient state of mind, but when she thought that it was because of her that his state of mind was damaged, her anger rose quickly and dissipated quickly as well.
Putting aside Jiang Qingyun's complex emotions, after Zhang Chi finished his demonstration, he prepared to leave.
"It's getting late, rest well, and go to bed and wake up early to grow taller."
Zi Mian: "......"
Not to mention growing taller, she can still be friends with Zhang Chi.
Doesn't she want to grow taller?
But ever since she started practicing, her body hasn't grown anymore.
She used to grow slowly before, but then it just stopped.
Zi Mian originally wanted to become a big sister like Qing Mian, but wherever she went, people treated her like a child.
So frustrating! But she still has to smile.
What else can she do if she doesn't cooperate?
Zhang Chi left, and Jiang Qingyun still hasn't recovered.
By the way, she had decided to meet Zhang Chi before leaving.
But now, she's starting to hesitate.
"Hmph, this is the price of not abandoning love and becoming a demon. You're bound by emotions, how can you seek freedom?"
Even deciding whether or not to meet a man can be agonized over for days. How can she achieve anything great like this?
Originally, she thought Jiang Qingyun had a promising future, and the previous Jiang Qingyun was indeed like that.
In just ten years, she was enchanted by a man and became like this.
The magic mirror sarcastically commented.
Jiang Qingyun ignored it, adjusted her emotions, and walked out of the shadow.
"You should thank him for saving you from disaster."
Jiang Qingyun looked coldly at Zi Mian, her mind no longer here.
But what's annoying is that she can't just abandon Zi Mian.
If she lets her stay by Zhang Chi's side, she doesn't know when she might turn against her and do something bad. If she kills her, she's afraid Zhang Chi will be heartbroken.
After all, they have gone through hardships together in the secret realm. This foolish disciple was deceived, and she can only help cover it up.
The more Jiang Qingyun thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she felt that she couldn't let Zi Mian off easily.
"So, Qing Mian, you're so afraid of him."
Zi Mian suddenly discovered something interesting.
Compared to protecting her most beloved sister, there seems to be a unique pleasure in seeing her suffer.
Alright, assessment complete, she's gone completely mad.
Jiang Qingyun didn't understand Zi Mian's crazy thoughts, she just felt that Zi Mian was provoking her.
"Do you think I have no way to deal with you at all?"
Jiang Qingyun coldly took out a pair of bells from her storage ring.
"I didn't want to use such cruel methods on you, but now, you've forced me..."
