Capítulo 12: Chapter 12: I Like Bad Women
Zhang Chi searched all over Qingshui Town with the Spirit Medicine Valley disciples, turning the fish stalls inside out, but still couldn't find Tang Ruoling.
As long as he was there, it would be strange if they could find her.
He personally led the search for the place where Tang Ruoling was hidden, and after several fruitless searches, the patience of the search disciples was running thin.
Under such circumstances, it was very difficult for anyone to notice the existence of the basement.
So, after Zhang Chi's search, he logically moved on to the next place.
"If you ask me, you should finish the groundwork and find the right opportunity to practice the Divine Dragon Nine Probes, and thoroughly resolve the Tang Ruoling issue."
Gu Youyou has a little sympathy, but not much.
She didn't want to waste her time on these matters.
In her opinion, quickly cultivating Tang Ruoling and improving her root bones for accelerated cultivation was the top priority.
Once their strength improves, what else is there to be afraid of?
Moreover, with her methods, no one could possibly find Tang Ruoling.
"The timing isn't right,"
responded Zhang Chi in his heart, but he couldn't help but complain about his second personality, a true outlaw.
He absolutely could not be involved in such things.
Gu Youyou: "You ****"
Zhang Chi didn't hear the swearwords, and continued to explain, "I have a Yuanyang Body. If there are sudden changes, others can tell with a single glance."
"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, you can wander the world!"
"You have a stable place for cultivation, yet you insist on wandering, what kind of mentality is that?"
"How can one become strong without experiencing hardships? You're a sword cultivator, after all."
Gu Youyou couldn't understand. Sword cultivators are usually open, decisive, strong, and upright. Zhang Chi was just a spineless and cunning guy.
She was so angry that she didn't want to communicate with Zhang Chi any longer, and there was no point in making small talk.
Only then did Zhang Chi realize that this "Second" had quite a personality. She ignored him yesterday, and after talking a few more words today, she ignored him again.
He didn't care and continued to do what he was supposed to do.
From morning till night, the search was fruitless. Exhausted, he returned to Sword Sect.
As soon as he arrived at the Sect's entrance, more than ten people came swarming around him.
"Senior Brother, you're finally back."
These were all Sword Sect's junior brothers and sisters. The girl leading them was Chen Runyu, who was quite familiar with Zhang Chi.
She was a simple person, easily fooled, loved gossip and sharing. Many of Zhang Chi's exploits were told by her, making her something like Zhang Chi's groupie.
Before Zhang Chi could ask, she recounted the events of the day in great detail, like a storyteller, complete with ups and downs – it was quite exciting.
Everything was as Zhang Chi had anticipated. These Sword Sect disciples didn't disappoint him. They were all brave, and he silently commended them.
However, their anger didn't bring the desired outcome. Zhou Ran was not expelled from the Sword Sect, but he was just stripped of his Enforcement Hall supervisor duties and his Vice-Chairman status. He had to compensate Spirit Medicine Valley, but the amount was still undecided.
The Grand Elder didn't step down either but had to apologize to Tang Feng and Zhang Chi.
Such punishment obviously wouldn't satisfy the disciples. What's the use of an apology when someone had been hurt so badly?
Chen Runyu was particularly dissatisfied with this point, and that's why she came to confide in Zhang Chi.
Those who gathered around Zhang Chi were also still indignant. They generally got along well with Chen Runyu, so they all waited together at the Sect's entrance for Zhang Chi's return, wanting to hear his opinion.
Upon hearing the outcome, Gu Youyou couldn't help but sneer, "Your master is too weak, just like you."
"Heh, if that's what you think."
Zhang Chi didn't care about Gu Youyou's ridicule; he just sighed that his personality must have allocated all the intelligence, leaving the second personality lacking in wit.
But it's not Old Two's fault.
Gu Youyou: "You ****!"
She was not wrong about one thing; Jiang Qingyun and Zhang Chi were quite similar.
They appeared to be full of righteousness, but they were actually full of bad intentions.
Jiang Qingyun was a dark person inside, and no one would be satisfied with her handling of the situation.
Disciples and Tang Feng would certainly be dissatisfied, thinking punishment was too light, while Chong Xu and Zhou Ran would also not be pleased.
Chong Xu was a person who cared about his face; how could he lower his head and apologize to people who held neither the same status nor position as himself?
Zhou Ran felt he was being wronged as well.
Even though his tactic to lure the snake out of the cave did not succeed, what did he do wrong after careful consideration?
The thief kidnapped Tang Ruoling, and the thief stole the Divine Dragon Nine Probes.
So, was Tang Ruoling being kidnapped preventing others from exchanging the Divine Dragon Nine Probes?
I spent my contribution points on this Divine Dragon Nine Probes too!
Zhou Ran only thought of this logic after all the explanations were given.
Shouldn't letting you all doubt my guilt be based on your own evidence, not me proving myself?
But at the time, he didn't think of that, and Tang Feng's yelling made him only want to quickly prove his innocence to avoid being targeted by a madman.
Looking back, Zhou Ran also felt it was unfair.
The Enforcement Hall's Supervisor position he had just gotten was gone, along with the second seat, and he had to compensate.
Why should he pay for anything?!
To satisfy everyone is difficult, but to make everyone unsatisfied is not easy either.
Jiang Qingyun's move was quite clever! And objectively, her handling didn't seem to have any flaws.
Zhang Chi liked this kind of dark-hearted master.
However, he couldn't show that he had insight into everything and just said seriously, "The Sect Leader's decision naturally has its reasons. Grand Elder and Zhou Ran did make mistakes, but not so serious as that.
The Sect Leader must also follow the sect's rules. The Grand Elder can only be fired if they violate the Eight Great Prohibitions, and there's nothing the Sect Leader can do."
The so-called Eight Great Prohibitions refer to serious crimes such as wanton killing and betraying the sect.
"Ahh, so we just let this kind of person be our Grand Elder?"
Someone asked discontentedly, looking very disappointed.
Zhang Chi, however, spoke spiritedly, "Don't worry, justice is in everyone's heart. The Grand Elder actually isn't bad at heart, and after this incident, they should change. It's just a pity about Miss Tang..."
His voice also lowered at this point, but he quickly cheered up his junior brothers and sisters and restored their confidence.
Chen Runyu sighed. Senior Brother was perfect in every way, but he was too rule-abiding and thought too highly of others. This nature was the same as the Sect Leader's, which is why they were both bullied by the Grand Elder.
Zhang Chi talked with them for a while and left when the time was right. "I have to go write a self-criticism at the Enforcement Hall. Goodbye for now."
Chen Runyu couldn't help but feel heartache for her senior brother.
She advised, "It's getting late, Senior Brother. You've been busy all day. Why not go back and rest first and go to the Enforcement Hall tomorrow?"
"No, I have to continue looking for Miss Tang tomorrow. Besides, I promised the people at the Enforcement Hall, so I can't break my word."
"Can Miss Tang still be found?"
The one who spoke was a junior sister with a decent appearance. Grieving for the same kind, women could easily empathize with another woman's plight.
Zhang Chi sighed lightly, looking quite pessimistic, "We must see the living person or the dead body."
These eight words described Tang Ruoling's situation and made everyone's heart clench.
"Alright, you all should go back and rest. I'll leave now."
With that, Zhang Chi hurried away.
He left, but the hearts of those left behind couldn't calm down for a long time.
Chen Runyu felt more and more heartache for her senior brother, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
"We must do something for Senior Brother!"
