After hearing the information brought by the great elder, Qing Hui was already panicked, but he had to maintain his dignity in front of Chongxu.
As soon as Chongxu left, he walked around the room in a panic, feeling extremely terrified.
If there is no evidence, even if someone doubts him, no one will take action against him.
But once the spirit stone is found and his secret is exposed, death may still be the best outcome.
In the world of immortality, even a well-known and upright person can use many methods to make a person's life worse than death.
The sect has always hated traitors the most, and they will use the most vicious methods to deal with traitors, thereby alerting others.
Qing Hui seemed to have seen his own end. After being humiliated in every possible way, he abandoned his cultivation and became a slave in the Sword Sect.
Death is impossible, Jian Zong will not use the death penalty, but his end will definitely be worse than death.
"No, I still have a chance."
Qing Hui was unwilling and subconsciously thought of a remedy.
Shishui is a very large river, seven to eight hundred miles long and twenty to thirty miles wide. It is not easy to explore the place where his treasure is hidden.
As long as he transfers the spirit stone in advance before Zhang Chi finds it, Zhang Chi won't be able to catch him, and he can still fight back when the time comes.
It only took three days. Due to pressure, Zhang Chi had to withdraw from the investigation and shut himself up to reflect on his mistakes.
The more Qing Hui thought about it, the more he felt that this was his only chance, but he didn't know that it was a trap specifically targeted at him.
Zhang Chi, who had set the trap, pretended to catch fish for another day, hiding in his room and practicing all day in the name of auditing the account books.
This is the joy of doing private work during working hours.
Seeing that the true energy in his body became stronger, Zhang Chi felt at ease.
In this world, strength is the true foundation of one's life. Without strength, one can only find ways to rely on the strong, stay humble and act small, or even betray one's appearance and pretend to be cute.
Although he can survive, Zhang Chi still prefers his strong self.
For example, in front of Tang Ruoling, he was unscrupulous and bullied her as much as he wanted.
On the contrary, in front of Jiang Qingyun, although it was fun to tease the simple master, he was wearing a mask after all. If he could bully Jiang Qingyun like he bullied Tang Ruoling, he would definitely be more excited.
Gu Youyou: "..."
What evil did your master commit to meet such a rebellious disciple like you?
The day passed quickly, and at sunset, Zhang Chi planned to call up the people who were fishing for rocks. Anyway, they were just pretending, so there was no need to make them work overtime.
Besides, if they really got it, I would be a little embarrassed.
Others didn't know it, but he knew it very well, so when he was fishing for rocks, he deliberately avoided that section.
With the exploration speed of disciples in the foundation building stage, they will definitely not be able to dig out that piece today.
But that may not be the case if you work overtime.
Zhang Chi went out and happened to meet Zhou You.
The two said hello, and Zhou You asked casually, "Where are you going?"
"I'll call them back."
"This is something within my responsibilities, I just go."
Zhou You is looking for a reason for himself.
The reason why he appeared here was because he received news from his father.
Chongxu asked him to find a way to secretly destroy the account books and erase the evidence of Elder Qinghui's crime. From now on, Qinghui will be on their side.
At the same time, they can also take this opportunity to suppress Zhang Chi and the leader.
Zhou You was also shocked when he received the letter. He thought that Zhang Chi told him and the great elder the plan without warning for the sake of Jianzong.
But now, his father asked him to take advantage of this and subdue Qing Hui while also suppressing the leader.
If you think about it, you will know that if the leader is suppressed, he will definitely anger Zhang Chi, and Zhang Chi will not have a good life by then.
Zhang Chi had no power to begin with. He was an orphan who was adopted by the Sword Sect and was accepted as a disciple only after being valued by the master.
Without the support of the leader, he is nothing.
And making the leader dislike Zhang Chi was also part of the plan.
Chongxu felt that Zhang Chi was quite capable and wanted to win him over to help the Zhou family.
Therefore, everything Zhang Chi owns must be destroyed before he can surrender.
After reading the letters from Zhou You, I felt particularly uncomfortable.
Zhang Chi was honest with him, took the initiative to give up the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and put the credit into his hands.
Is it appropriate that I take advantage of Zhang Chi's trust in his fellow students to do things to harm him?
Zhou You couldn't bear it and couldn't disobey his father, so he had to find a way to prevent Zhang Chi from leaving.
Zhang Chi said, "It would be better for me to go. I have been busy all day and got nothing. The masters and uncles are somewhat complaining. Master, you will have to lead them in the future. If you lose your majesty, it will be inconvenient."
I'm just a young boy, I guess my uncles won't care about me."
Hearing what Zhang Chi said, Zhou You was even more moved.
He really...
There really are such people in the world!
Zhou You was so moved that he wanted to cry, but looking at his leaving figure and his undefended residence, Zhou You was still heartbroken.
"I'm sorry. Let me teach you a lesson. Trusting others too easily will not end well!"
In the morning, Zhang Chi's words about fighting for the common honor of the Sword Sect really moved Zhou You.
But Chongxu's letter brought him back to reality.
They do have to think about Jian Zong, but they also have to think about themselves.
Now, if we can reap benefits for ourselves without losing the interests of Jianzong, only Zhang Chi and the leader will be harmed, this is the best result.
Zhou You sneaked into Zhang Chi's house, casually hit a fire charm, dropped it on the desk, and left in a hurry.
On the other side, Zhang Chi called the people fishing for rocks ashore one by one. As expected, they were also very complaining.
Zhang Chi is very prestigious among ordinary disciples, but among the foundation-building disciples, he is nothing.
If he hadn't been the head disciple, these people wouldn't have listened to him.
After calling everyone ashore, they saw the thick smoke rising from behind.
"It's flooded! Put out the fire quickly!"
With shouts and shouts, people quickly gathered at the fire scene.
Zhang Chi couldn't help laughing when he looked at the thick smoke in the distance.
This is the world of immortality, where the stories of the farmer and the snake, Mr. Dong Guo and the wolf are played out almost every day.
If you want to avoid being harmed by bad people, you have to be more ruthless and bad than them.
Seeing the thick smoke, Zhang Chi knew that the plan was done.
A group of foundation-building disciples cast water-bending spells, and the fire was quickly extinguished.
Setting a fire would not harm the cultivator, but all the ledgers in the room were reduced to ashes.
Zhang Chi pretended to be panicked and said: "What can we do? All the evidence is gone."
At this time, Zhou Youcai arrived late, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked: "Okay, why did it catch on fire? And, Zhang Chi, how could you put the account book in your house and still be so unprepared?"
I'm afraid someone set the fire on purpose, but the ledger has been destroyed, so there's no point in arresting the person!"
Zhou You's stab on the back of his hand quickly focused the attention of others on Zhang Chi.
Everyone was already quite dissatisfied with his blind command, and now that he has lost important evidence, people are naturally even more disgusted.
This look of disgust was just like the way the disciples outside Jianghe Palace looked at Zhou Ran.
When Zhou You saw this, he felt a little sympathetic, but mostly he was happy.
