Chapter 31 The Farmer and the Snake
After hearing the information brought by the Great Elder, Qinghui was already in a panic, but had to maintain his dignity in front of Chongxu.

As soon as Chongxu left, he walked up and down the room in a panic, terrified in his heart.

If there is no evidence, even if someone doubts him, no one will attack him.

But once the spirit stone is found and his secret is exposed, then death may still be the best result.

In the world of cultivating immortals, even a decent family can have many means to make a person's life worse than death.

The sect has always hated traitors the most, and they will use the most vicious means to deal with traitors, so as to alert others.

Qinghui seemed to have seen his own end. After being humiliated in every way, he abolished his cultivation base and became a slave in Jianzong.

Death is impossible, Jianzong will not use the death penalty, but his end will definitely be worse than death.

"No, I still have a chance."

Qinghui was full of unwillingness, and subconsciously thought of a remedy.

Shishui is a very big river, seven to eight hundred miles long, and twenty to thirty miles wide. It is not so easy to explore the place where he hides the treasure.

As long as he transferred the spirit stone before Zhang Chi found it, Zhang Chi would not be able to catch him, and he could fight back at that time.

It only took three days, and under pressure, Zhang Chi also had to withdraw from the investigation and meditate behind closed doors.

The more Qinghui thought about it, the more he felt that this was his only chance, but he didn't know that it was a trap specially aimed at him.

And Zhang Chi, who set up the trap, pretended to fish for another day, and in the name of auditing the books, he hid in the house and practiced all day.

This is the joy of doing private work during working hours.

Seeing that the zhenqi in his body became stronger again, Zhang Chi felt at ease.

In this world, strength is the real foundation of one's life. Without strength, one can only find ways to cling to the strong, stay low and be small, or even sell one's appearance and pretend to be cute.

Although he can save his life, Zhang Chi still prefers a strong self.

For example, in front of Tang Ruoling, he was unscrupulous, bullying her as much as he wanted.

On the contrary, in front of Jiang Qingyun, although it was fun to tease the innocent master, he was wearing a mask after all. If he could bully Jiang Qingyun like he bullied Tang Ruoling, he would definitely be even more excited.

Bone Youyou: "..."

What sin did your master do to meet such a traitor like you?

The day passed quickly, and at sunset, Zhang Chi planned to call up the people who went into the water to fish for rocks. Anyway, they were pretending, so there was no need to ask them to work overtime.

Besides, if they really dug it up, I would be a little embarrassed.

Others don't know it, but he knows it very well, so when digging for stones, people deliberately avoided that section.

With the exploration speed of the disciples in the Foundation Establishment period, they would definitely not be able to dig that piece today.

But working overtime is not necessarily the case.

When Zhang Chi went out, he happened to meet Zhou You.

The two greeted each other, and Zhou You asked casually, "Where are you going?"

"I'll call them back."

"This is something within my duty, I just go."

Zhou You was 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 Elder Qinghui's criminal evidence. 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 sect leader.

Zhou You was also shocked when he received the letter. He thought of Zhang Chi's consideration for Jianzong, so he told him and the elder the plan without any defense.

But now, his father asked him to take advantage of this, to subdue Qinghui and at the same time suppress the head of the sect.

If you think about it, you will know that if the head is suppressed, Zhang Chi will definitely be angered, and Zhang Chi's life will be difficult at that time.

Zhang Chi didn't have much power in the first place. He was an orphan who was adopted by Jianzong and was accepted as a disciple because he was valued by the headmaster.

Without the support of the leader, he is nothing.

It was also part of the plan to make the headmaster dislike Zhang Chi.

Chongxu felt that Zhang Chi was capable, and wanted to win him over to work for the Zhou family.

Therefore, everything Zhang Chi had had to be destroyed before he could surrender.

After Zhou You read the letter, he felt particularly uncomfortable.

Zhang Chi treated him frankly, voluntarily gave up the opportunity to make meritorious service, and put the credit in his hands.

Is it appropriate for me to take advantage of Zhang Chi's trust in my fellow disciples and do things to harm him?

Zhou You couldn't bear it, and he couldn't disobey his father, so he had to find a way to prevent Zhang Chi from leaving.

But Zhang Chi said: "It's better for me to go, I have been busy for a day and got nothing, the uncles are somewhat complaining, and you will lead them in the future, if you lose your majesty, it will be very inconvenient.

I'm just a brat, and I don't think my teachers and uncles will care about me. "

Hearing Zhang Chi's statement, 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 seeing his leaving back and his undefended residence, Zhou You still made up his mind.

"I'm sorry, let me teach you a lesson. Trusting others too easily will not end well!"

In the morning, Zhang Chi's words for the common honor of Jianzong really moved Zhou You.

But Chongxu's letter brought him back to reality.

They did have to think about Jianzong, but they also had to think about themselves.

Now, it would be the best result to not lose the interests of Jianzong, but also to gain benefits for himself, only Zhang Chi and the sect leader would be damaged.

Zhou You sneaked into Zhang Chi's room, casually struck out a fire talisman, dropped it on the desk, and left in a hurry.

On the other side, Zhang Chi called the stoners to land one by one, and they really complained a lot.

Zhang Chi was very prestigious among the ordinary disciples, but he was nothing to the disciples of the Foundation Establishment Period.

If he wasn't the head disciple, these people wouldn't listen to him.

After calling everyone ashore, they saw thick smoke rising from behind.

"It's flooded! Put out the fire!"

With a shout, soon, people gathered at the scene of the fire.

Looking at the thick smoke in the distance, Zhang Chi couldn't help laughing.

This is the world of cultivating immortals, where the stories of the farmer and the snake, Mr. Dong Guo and the wolf are staged almost every day.

If you want not to be harmed by the bad guys, you have to be more ruthless and worse than them.

Seeing the thick smoke, Zhang Chi knew that the plan had come true.

A group of Foundation Establishment Stage disciples cast the Water Control Curse, and the fire was quickly extinguished.

Setting fire would not hurt 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? The evidence is gone."

At this time Zhou You came belatedly, with a look of surprise on his face, he asked, "Okay, why did it catch fire? Also, Zhang Chi, how could you keep the ledger in your room and be so careless.

Someone might have set the fire on purpose, but the ledger has been destroyed, so it's useless to catch someone! "

Zhou You stabbed the back of his hand, and quickly made other people's eyes focus on Zhang Chi.

Everyone was quite dissatisfied with his blind command, but now that he has lost important evidence, it is naturally even more disgusting.

This look of disgust was the same as when the disciples outside the Jianghe Hall looked at Zhou Ran.

Seeing this, Zhou You felt a little sympathetic in his heart, but he was more cheerful.

Son, your father has avenged you!
