Naturally, the one who took action in the shadows was Jiang Qingyun.
She was angry, but she couldn't just ignore her own disciple.
So she had been lying in ambush nearby, planning to follow Zhang Chi. As soon as he left the Sword Sect, she would immediately knock him out.
If she allowed Zhang Chi to enter Zi Mian's hunting grounds, even if she gave it her all, she couldn't guarantee his safety.
Unexpectedly, there was someone else who wanted to protect Zhang Chi. Chen Runyu brought food to Zhang Chi, and Jiang Qingyun saw it. Afterward, Chen Runyu came out wearing Zhang Chi's clothes, and she quickly guessed what had happened inside.
From that moment, Jiang Qingyun's strategic objective changed.
As long as she could hold on until midnight and keep others from discovering that Zhang Chi was still in the Sword Sect, this calamity would pass for the time being.
As for Chen Runyu...
She could only wish her good luck.
