Chapter 52: Hopeless Love Brain

Surprisingly, after suffering a huge blow, Zi Mian seemed to have opened up her mind and became much more clever.

She thought that Zhang Chi must have some divine ability to detect lies, which is a rare ability that not everyone possesses.

Since that's the case, she decided to only tell the truth and intentionally blur out some details, so that Zhang Chi couldn't discern her true intentions.

Seeing that Zhang Chi didn't suspect anything and even asked her to continue talking about the organization's specific goals and her role in this operation.

"Because the situation in Central State has been turbulent and strange in recent years, Stormwind Tower couldn't survive there and had to come to the relatively backward Western State for development."

Indeed, Stormwind Tower was destroyed, and the newly established Violet Azure Sword Pavilion didn't have much reputation. Although they had the previous channels, they didn't dare to publicly claim that they were the remnants of Stormwind Tower to avoid being targeted.

It was true that they couldn't survive and had to come to Western State, but the main reason was for Qing Mian.

"Our goal is to start with Sword Sect, control the Left River League, gradually erode the Dragon River Alliance, and ultimately completely control the Coiling Dragon River region. Qing Hui stealing spirit stones was just the beginning of the plan, but you disrupted it. I kidnapped Tang Ruoling to seek revenge from you."

Every sentence was true, but she completely concealed Qing Mian's existence.

Zhang Chi nodded slightly, indicating that he believed everything Zi Mian said. Zi Mian finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had successfully fooled him.

However, she didn't know that Zhang Chi had never had the ability to distinguish truth from lies. He relied on keen observation, meticulous reasoning, and bold imagination. The essence of his skill was deception.

As for discerning the truthfulness of words, he had many methods to rely on, and the psychology of microexpressions alone was enough to greatly benefit Zhang Chi.

People in the Immortal World would never have thought that a slight fluctuation in eye movements could expose their inner world.

This was also because people in the Immortal Cultivation World didn't pay much attention to this aspect, and many people were too lazy to care about it.

In this world, the only thing that truly mattered was one's own strength.

All conspiracies and tricks were useless in the face of strength, so the main thought of most cultivators was to improve their own cultivation.

They were too focused on the higher world and neglected the subtle world below.

Zhang Chi couldn't tell if Zi Mian's words were true or false, but he could tell that she was definitely scheming something from her eyes, which were filled with deceit.

This girl was similar to Tang Ruoling.

Tang Ruoling weighed over a hundred catties, with ninety-nine catties of stubbornness.

Zi Mian weighed eighty catties, with eighty catties of stubbornness.

We won't mention the extra weight, and Zhang Chi didn't expose her either.

He let her continue scheming and gave her some confidence. When she took action, he would secretly observe and naturally understand her intentions.

To make her feel at ease, Zhang Chi didn't mention this matter again and instead talked about Tang Ruoling.

"Now that Tang Ruoling is in your hands, find a way to rescue her, but it can't be a man who saves her. I think Xiaoyu is a good choice."

Tang Ruoling was truly unlucky. Zhang Chi had given up on rescuing her, but unexpectedly, he accidentally captured an important figure from the other side.

Even if the top assassin was ranked last, they were still a top assassin with an extraordinary status. Letting Tang Ruoling go should be a simple matter.

Zi Mian heard this and agreed, "I understand."

This man seemed to have some feelings for Tang Ruoling as well. His woman couldn't be saved by other men.

However, he probably didn't know that Tang Ruoling was waiting to give him a ruthless blow!

Thinking of this, Zi Mian felt a sense of revenge.

Unexpectedly, your woman doesn't have any feelings for you either.

For the sake of her own life, she would not hesitate to kill you!

Thinking of the scene where Zhang Chi was ambushed by Tang Ruoling, Zi Mian felt extremely pleased.

Rest assured, I will release Tang Ruoling!

"You can go and do whatever you need to do. Our relationship must be kept strictly confidential, and you will still be Xiaoyu's disciple serving by her side."

After Zhang Chi finished his instructions, he handed over his body and continued to study the Nine Probes of the Divine Dragon.

According to the original plan, Zi Mian was supposed to stay in the room to take care of Zhang Chi.

She found a quiet place to sit down and began to complete the task assigned by Zhang Chi.

It's not difficult to save Tang Ruoling, the difficulty lies in designating someone to save her.

Surprisingly, Zhang Chi, despite using Chen Runyu, still had a trace of conscience.

Chen Runyu had deceived him, and regardless of the outcome, she would be punished.

At that time, he could only help plead for leniency, but there would still be punishment.

Only by having Chen Runyu perform meritorious deeds would she avoid punishment.

As for Zhang Chi himself, he no longer needed to showcase his abilities through meritorious deeds. Thanks to the two waves of actions by the Chong Xu family, the entire Left River League now knew that Sword Sect had an unparalleled and righteous brave senior disciple.

Excess is not desirable in all things, so Zhang Chi decided to give others more opportunities, of course, they had to be beautiful and gentle junior disciples.

Speaking of Chen Runyu leaving the sect, she was also wholeheartedly trying not to expose herself, and tried to buy Zhang Chi some time.

As for Tang Ruoling...

I'm sorry.

When Chen Runyu was thinking about Zhang Chi, she had disregarded the interests of others, but upon careful reflection, she still felt sorry for Tang Ruoling.

Since she had stolen Zhang Chi's identity, she might as well try to save Tang Ruoling. Both Sword Sect and the Left River League had set up traps, perhaps they could catch the thief.

With this in mind, Chen Runyu continued to head towards Clear Water Port Town.

If nothing unexpected happened, she might really be able to rescue Tang Ruoling.

However, the unexpected occurred.

With the help of Chong Xu, Qing Hui ran out from the mountain. His primary task was to kill Zhang Chi and then escape.

Elder Divine Soul's speed was much faster than that of a Qi Condensation stage disciple.

He hadn't chased for long when he saw the figure wearing feathered robes and stepping on Cloud Ascending Boots.

Was this Zhang Chi?

Qing Hui quickly realized that he had been tricked, but at this moment, he had no other way to go, so he might as well continue with the mistake.

"Zhang Chi, die!"

Qing Hui intentionally shouted this out, letting others know that he had killed Zhang Chi. When the news reached the Grand Elder, he could still justify himself.

As for killing the wrong person, who could have expected that?

Anyway, I've already killed someone.

This palm from Qing Hui was enough to instantly kill Chen Runyu, but she had a protective feathered robe that blocked the most fatal damage, although she was still sent flying.

Chen Runyu spat out a mouthful of blood, obviously injuring her internal organs.

When she turned to look at Qing Hui, she quickly realized what had happened. Using her last bit of strength, she activated the Cloud Ascending Boots and jumped, falling into the river.

In the water, it was probably the most effective way to evade pursuit by a Divine Soul expert. Seeing this, Qing Hui didn't continue to chase, and turned to run away.

But Chen Runyu, who had fallen to the riverbed, felt her body gradually growing cold. She struggled to float to the surface, but found that her injuries were too severe, and her True Qi couldn't be mobilized properly.

Even if she leaned against the riverbank, she couldn't move.

"Am I going to die..."

Realizing this, Chen Runyu felt a bit sad.

She hadn't even confessed her feelings to Zhang Chi yet, she felt more than just admiration for him...

"To be able to help Senior Brother through this calamity, it's worth it..."

Her consciousness was no longer clear, and she quickly fell into a coma.

At this moment, a puppet wearing a purple mask appeared by her side.

Hearing her last words, Zi Mian felt a pang of sorrow.

With a mind like hers, I don't even want to save her anymore...
