Chapter 14: The True Fishing Master

Jiang Qingyun lectured Zhang Chi before leaving, giving him some time to ponder her words.

Little did she know that all of this was orchestrated by Zhang Chi himself.

"I know her limits, but she doesn't know mine!"

Zhang Chi chuckled lightly, finding his master adorable.

He liked this kind of pure and wicked woman, especially since she couldn't outwit him which made her seem extremely adorable in his eyes.

"Lewd!"

Gu Youyou originally thought that Zhang Chi was speaking literally, but when she heard his thoughts, she realized that he was being vulgar and scolded him.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but tilt his head.

Why is my second personality like a woman?

However, he didn't think about the possibility of someone trying to possess his body.

Normally, a body can't contain two souls unless it's a unique case of One Body, Two Souls. If two souls meet, one must die.

So, when he found out there was someone else in his body, Zhang Chi was puzzled but didn't think it was possession.

If it were possession, they would have fought to the death by now.

Gu Youyou sensed Zhang Chi's wariness, which alarmed her.

He must have mistaken her as, somehow, his second personality which was why he wasn't on guard against her. If he found out she was an outsider, who knows what tricks he might use.

She could eavesdrop on his thoughts, but not all of them. Many times, she couldn't hear what he was pondering.

It might be embarrassing to admit, but as the Holy Woman of the Devil Domain, she was actually afraid of a little human cultivator in the Qi Condensation stage.

Oh well, no one knows about it anyway.

Gu Youyou consoled herself and pretended to be indifferent, ignoring Zhang Chi's complaints.

She didn't know how to explain and feared making things worse.

In the future, she must be careful not to expose herself while staying under Zhang Chi's watchful eyes.

Zhang Chi had become used to his second personality's occasional sarcastic remarks and coldness. When the second personality fell silent, he began to do his own thing.

He took advantage of his current energy and studied the Divine Dragon Nine Probes.

He should have learned and destroyed it immediately. However, since Gu Youyou didn't do that before, and he was occupied, he chose to hide it instead.

Now that he read it, he realized what an extraordinary cultivation technique the Divine Dragon Nine Probes was.

There were so many positions, way more professional than what he had seen in his past life.

After reading it, Zhang Chi's desires surged. He couldn't help but want to find someone to experiment on immediately.

"This seductive book dares to corrupt my Dao heart!"

Zhang Chi conjured a fire spell, directly turning the secret manual into ashes. However, his desires didn't decrease, and his second personality grew restless.

He had no choice but to lie down and sleep, allowing his second personality to take over his body.

As soon as Gu Youyou took over the body, she felt the changes within and wished she could immediately get rid of the troublesome part if it weren't for Tang Ruoling waiting to be patched up with cultivation.

Tonight, she had a mission, but it was much easier than yesterday's.

Dressed in Night Walk clothes, Gu Youyou waited at home for a while until she sensed a familiar presence. She then quietly left the room.

Compared to yesterday's elegance, her movements today seemed slightly clumsy.

In the shadows, Zhou Ran's drunkenness vanished instantly.

His mood was naturally depressed after being scolded and ridiculed by everyone during the day and looked down upon by his grandfather.

The angrier he became, the more intense his hatred for Zhang Chi grew.

When others praised Zhang Chi, they would compare him unfavorably to Zhou Ran.

By evening, he was seething with anger.

Anger churned inside him, and evil thoughts rose to the surface.

Driven by rage, Zhou Ran wanted to teach Zhang Chi a lesson.

Standing outside Zhang Chi's room, he hesitated, unsure how to proceed.

If he directly beat up Zhang Chi, it would likely lead to trouble later.

Lost in thought, Zhou Ran saw Zhang Chi stealthily leave his room in Night Walk clothes.

Something was happening!

Zhou Ran became excited, thinking that someone dressed like that late at night must be up to no good.

And the hottest topic recently was the elusive thief, right?

If it turned out that the thief was Zhang Chi, wouldn't Zhou Ran redeem himself?

Not only could Zhou Ran ruin Zhang Chi's reputation, but he could also regain his own.

With that thought, Zhou Ran hesitated no longer and followed him.

Watching Zhang Chi leave the sect, Zhou Ran became more and more convinced of his suspicions.

But, when he thought about catching Zhang Chi alone and the possibility of him denying everything, he hesitated again.

At this point, Zhou Ran quickly summoned his spirit pet, a black-feathered parrot that blended well into the night.

"Follow that person!"

After making arrangements, he flew away on his sword, heading for the Grand Elder.

Flying on his sword late in the night was a blatant disregard for the Enforcement Hall's authority.

Zhou Ran ignored the Enforcement Hall's interception, quickly flying far away to the Grand Elder's residence.

Perfected Chong Xu didn't want to deal with his troublemaking grandson at this time, but when he heard that Zhou Ran had personally witnessed Zhang Chi sneaking out of the sect, he suspected that the thief might be Zhang Chi. Hearing this, the Grand Elder's intrigue was piqued.

Today, his reputation had suffered a significant blow, with Jiang Qingyun suppressing him. If he didn't regain some face, he would be subjugated under her.

If he could catch Zhang Chi red-handed, what footing would Jiang Qingyun have in the future?

With this thought, Perfected Chong Xu inquired, "Are you sure Zhang Chi is the thief?"

"Even if he's not, sneaking out at night like this isn't something a person with good intentions would do. Maybe he's the one colluding with the thief?"

Perfected Chong Xu thought, indeed, there was some truth to this.

He instructed, "You go keep an eye on him first. Once you're sure, send a signal, and I'll go find the Sect Leader to bear witness!"

Perfected Chong Xu had a plan, for Zhang Chi sneaking out at night itself was suspicious enough.

Zhou Ran was told to keep an eye on him, and if he could be caught in the act, that would be ideal.

Zhou Ran happily agreed and flew away on his sword. Before leaving the sect, he was caught by the Enforcement Hall.

Flying without reason at night was an even worse offense, and his fine would be doubled.

Zhou Ran, of course, wouldn't accept it and refuted angrily, "I have an urgent matter. Why should I be fined!"

It was true that one shouldn't be fined if they had a valid reason to fly at night.

However, Zhou Ran's reputation in the Enforcement Hall was not good.

When they had let him be an enforcement officer, he mismanaged everything, wasting everyone's efforts and accomplishing nothing.

Furthermore, he was arrogant and not humble like Zhang Chi, so people naturally didn't like him.

Seeing his continued arrogance, the leading officer snapped, "Even Senior Brother isn't as arrogant as you!"

These words struck a nerve as Zhou Ran couldn't stand hearing the words 'Senior Brother.'

He retorted, "Do you think Zhang Chi is a good person? I'll tell you, I'm going to catch him right now!"
