After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 71: Jiang Qingyun's Bronze Mirror (First Update)

Zhang Chi helping Long Yan has three benefits.

By killing another Demon Race, he ensures his own safety.

For the Dragon Transformation Palace, Chong Xu's death is not the issue; the problem is the appearance of the Demon Race.

As long as the Demon Race is dealt with, they will go back.

By killing the Demon Race, Zhang Chi can also learn from the experience of dealing with them, giving him the confidence to counter the second brother.

The third benefit is getting close to a wealthy woman.

Of course, Zhang Chi has no intention of using his charm to deceive Long Yan. He has one million, so there's no need for him to act in a sweet romantic drama with an older, unattractive woman. Being friends is enough.

When he goes to the realm of the Dragon Transformation Palace in the future, he will have another avenue.

But it's useless to flatter a wealthy and confident woman like her. What Zhang Chi needs to do is to break through her defenses in a straightforward and aggressive manner.

"You suspect my master, infiltrated the Sword Sect to secretly investigate her, and that's why you approached me, intending to use me as a stepping stone."

Zhang Chi quickly pointed out Long Yan's intentions, accurately as if he could read her mind, leaving Long Yan shocked.

Moreover, his tone was particularly firm, leaving no room for Long Yan to argue.

She couldn't help but ask, "How did you figure that out?"

"Based on your behavior patterns, it's easy to deduce. How about it, haven't you figured it out yet?"

Long Yan: "..."

It was the first time she felt her intelligence being insulted. Although she hadn't fully understood yet, she immediately retorted, "I've figured it out. I just didn't react in time earlier."

Even if she was curious, she would never ask Zhang Chi to interpret it for her!

Zhang Chi also didn't want to waste more words with her. He straightforwardly said, "My master cannot be a Demon Race."

Even if Jiang Qingyun really was, Zhang Chi would find a way to cover it up instead of reporting her.

She was his dear master. How could he easily betray her before reaching a dead end?

Betrayal was out of the question.

Seeing Zhang Chi so confident, Long Yan couldn't accept it.

"How can you prove it?"

"I can't prove it now, but I will always believe in my master."

Zhang Chi expressed his determination and said, "Since you suspect her, I will help you investigate until you are convinced."

Now there was a reason to participate in the investigation.

"You are still under house arrest. How can you investigate? Just with your mouth?"

Zhang Chi calmly said, "Don't you exist? If you can come in, you can also help me get out."

"Oh, now you need me?"

"Of course. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. You have your abilities, and I have my intelligence. We complement each other. Why worry about not being able to solve the problem?"

That's the truth. Long Yan nodded slightly to show her agreement.

But she quickly realized, how could only Zhang Chi have intelligence? Who in the Dragon Transformation Palace doesn't praise her for being both intelligent and brave?

Only this kid, Zhang Chi, dares to make fun of her.

However, as an elder, she couldn't be bothered to argue with Zhang Chi over such trivial matters.

"I can agree to your request, but your actions must follow my command."

Long Yan emphasized her position and status as the leader, and Zhang Chi didn't argue with her. He straightforwardly said, "I have no objections. I will listen to Senior Long's instructions. What do we do next?"

After a moment of contemplation, Long Yan said, "Let's maintain the status quo for now and not let others discover us. I will find a way to take you out for investigation tonight."

"Alright, Miss Yu, I would like to send a letter to my master. Can you deliver it for me?"

"Why do you want to write her a letter?"

"I have already learned about all the things happening in the Sword Sect. As a disciple, it is only right for me to show concern for my master."

Long Yan: "......"

Perhaps, this is just how people are in small places!

The Dragon Transformation Palace doesn't have so many social niceties.

However, Long Yan also knows to adapt to local customs. This is also a good opportunity for her to have some contact with Jiang Qingyun.

Before long, Zhang Chi's letter is written, and Long Yan's Qi Sea has returned to normal.

She didn't notice that Zhang Chi secretly gave her a medicine to help her recover. Holding Zhang Chi's letter, Long Yan heads straight to Qingyun Residence.

She considers herself cautious, so she checks the contents of the letter and finds nothing inappropriate, just some greetings and words of concern.

Seeing Jiang Qingyun, Long Yan seems to understand why Zhang Chi cares so much about his master.

His master is indeed a rare beauty, with a cool temperament and a stunning appearance.

Jiang Qingyun receives the letter but doesn't immediately read it. Instead, she scrutinizes Long Yan and asks, "Who are you, and why are you delivering this letter for him?"

"I am a new miscellaneous disciple that Senior Zhang has taken in."

Long Yan has learned from past lessons and now shows a somewhat dim and obscure expression.

Jiang Qingyun nods and then opens the envelope, turning her back to Long Yan as she reads.

Meanwhile, Long Yan takes the opportunity to quietly observe Jiang Qingyun.

Zhang Chi's letter doesn't contain any secrets. It only expresses concern and a desire to come out and help investigate the case, sharing the burden with his master.

The reason Zhang Chi was previously confined was simply because they couldn't find evidence against Qing Hui. But the facts have proven that Qing Hui was indeed problematic, and Zhang Chi should have been released. It was Jiang Qingyun who disregarded these matters and insisted on keeping him confined.

Previously, she was worried about the lack of safety outside, so of course Jiang Qingyun wouldn't let him out now.

She calls for Long Yan and says, "Go back and tell Zhang Chi that he doesn't need to worry about sect matters. He should focus on his own cultivation. He won't be allowed to come out until the three-month confinement period is over."

"Yes."

After receiving the reply, Long Yan hurriedly returns.

Jiang Qingyun watches her departing figure, her eyes narrowing slightly, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes.

Only when Long Yan has completely disappeared from her sight does she close the door and sit in front of the dressing table's bronze mirror.

Long Yan doesn't know that her every move just now was under Jiang Qingyun's surveillance.

"My disciple is too careless. It's a time of many troubles, yet she still keeps unclear people by her side."

Jiang Qingyun sighs as she looks at the mirror, and a bewitching face appears on it. Judging by her appearance, she bears some resemblance to Jiang Qingyun.

She coldly says, "She's just a tool. She has no more value now. Why keep her around?

If you can't do it, I can help you."

"No need."

Jiang Qingyun's expression also becomes cold and stern. She says, "Don't try to harm him. He won't affect our plans."

"But he will become a stumbling block on your path of cultivation. You are not purely a demon, and if you lose your demonic heart, when will you achieve the true demonic Great Dao?"

Jiang Qingyun falls silent for a moment but remains firm. She says, "I will handle my own affairs and don't need anyone's interference."

"Very well, but don't forget what I told you. The Saintess has been missing for ten years, and within ten years, the Nether Prison will select a new Saintess. You figure it out yourself!"

The person in the mirror speaks with resentment and disappears from the bronze mirror after saying these words.

Jiang Qingyun looks at herself in the mirror and slowly reaches for the long sword at her waist...
