Chapter 157 Showdown
Chapter 157: Showdown
Jiang Qingyun knew very well whether she had left any trace on the bed.
However, Zhang Chi acted as if he had smelled something, which made her think that she must have left a scent behind.
Most likely, she was too flustered at the time and forgot to restrain herself.
And now, the situation was not looking good.
After sniffing for a while, Zhang Chi finally spoke up, "Master, you really came back? Those things just now... were they not a dream?"
Jiang Qingyun originally wanted to reveal herself, but upon hearing the latter sentence, she shrunk back.
Do you really want to let him know that those things just now were not a dream? Would it not be embarrassing for the master?
Zhang Chi searched the entire room, even if he knew where Jiang Qingyun was hiding, he pretended not to know.
"Master, since you've already come back, why don't you come out and see me? Are you blaming me for my rudeness earlier?"
Jiang Qingyun: "..."
You're bringing up something that doesn't need to be brought up, aren't you?
Annoyed, Jiang Qingyun even thought about turning around and leaving.
"Master, I know I was wrong, but I really thought it was just a dream."
Jiang Qingyun was furious. Can you use the excuse of dreaming to lay hands on your master?
"Master, things have developed to this point, and I know you can't forgive me. In that case..."
Hearing this, Jiang Qingyun was worried that Zhang Chi might do something drastic, but instead, Zhang Chi changed the subject.
"In that case, I don't want to pretend anymore."
Zhang Chi directly revealed his cards and said, "Actually, I've never just seen you as my master. From the moment I first saw you, I genuinely liked you from the bottom of my heart."
Jiang Qingyun's soul was shaken.
No wonder, no wonder. She always felt that something was off about Zhang Chi. It turns out he had inappropriate thoughts about her from the beginning. This little guy really knows how to pretend!
At this moment, she certainly wouldn't admit Zhang Chi's words. She continued to hide in the corner, pretending to be dead and not acknowledging anything.
"Master, are you willing to admit it? If you don't like me, why would you secretly kiss me?"
Jiang Qingyun: "..."
You little rebel, do you deserve a beating?
"Master, come out, I know you're here. You have the courage to secretly kiss me, why don't you show yourself?"
"I didn't kiss you, it was an accident! You rebel!"
Jiang Qingyun blushed with embarrassment.
This foolish disciple didn't even set up a soundproof barrier. If someone else heard this, wouldn't she have to destroy another sect?
A person can die, but they can't die socially.
Seeing Jiang Qingyun being forced out by himself, Zhang Chi was overjoyed and pounced towards her.
But this time, Jiang Qingyun didn't let him take advantage. She dodged with a swift movement.
"Stand still, or I'll beat you up!"
Zhang Chi obediently stood still, looking at Jiang Qingyun with affectionate eyes, making her feel shy.
"Let me make one thing clear, there has been nothing between us, master and disciple. I didn't kiss you, it was an accident!"
Zhang Chi didn't respond or argue, he just smiled at Jiang Qingyun.
"Look at me again, and I'll gouge out your eyeballs."
Zhang Chi didn't care and said, "Even if you gouge out my eyes, both you and I will remember your appearance in our hearts."
You cut off my ear, but I can still remember your voice.
You can even pull out my tongue, but as long as I have breath, I will let you know that I love you.
"You!"
What nonsense is this rebel talking about!
Jiang Qingyun felt both embarrassed and angry, but there was a sweet feeling surging in her heart.
But she was always strong-willed, even if she felt joy in her heart, her face was still filled with displeasure.
"Shut up, you are not allowed to speak without my permission."
Zhang Chi obediently closed his mouth, but his eyes still spoke volumes, as if constantly saying those three words. This obedient yet rebellious appearance stirred up Jiang Qingyun's heart.
"And don't look at me like that!"
Jiang Qingyun's tone carried a hint of coquetry. This was clearly not a master scolding her disciple, but rather a flirtatious banter.
Zhang Chi also obeyed, closing his eyes obediently, but his nose kept twitching, as if sniffing Jiang Qingyun's fragrance.
Disgusting, shameless!
Jiang Qingyun didn't expect her disciple to have such a side. After all the revelations, she didn't even care about her own face anymore.
She was so angry that her heart was pounding. She grabbed Zhang Chi's ear and angrily said, "If you make any more strange moves, I will teach you a lesson!"
"Mmm..."
Zhang Chi bit his tongue and whimpered, following the agreement not to speak.
But he knew how heavy-handed he was, and Jiang Qingyun knew too. It didn't hurt him that much.
But Zhang Chi's little trick actually made Jiang Qingyun less shy.
Her smile naturally appeared on her face, completely different from her cold demeanor in front of others.
However, amidst the playfulness, Jiang Qingyun also knew that there were some things she needed to face.
With Zhang Chi's intelligence, she couldn't hide it from him for long.
Instead of waiting for Zhang Chi to expose it later, she decided to come clean now.
Perhaps it was a bit cruel to Zhang Chi, but she didn't want to continue hiding anymore.
"Zhang Chi, what you like about me is only what you see, but the real me is not the flower in the snow or the spring in the mountains that you described. If you truly understand everything about me, you might feel scared."
As soon as Zhang Chi heard these words, he knew that Jiang Qingyun was deeply involved.
False affection would showcase one's strengths and hide one's weaknesses.
But true love would make one open their heart, wanting to reveal everything and let the other person know everything about them.
This is the blindness of love.
In fact, true and perfect love and affection should be reserved to some extent.
By not fully revealing oneself, one can always surprise others and leave them with suspense.
By opening one's heart, others will leave after seeing everything.
On the contrary, if you hide and cover up, others will try their best to get inside.
At this moment, Jiang Qingyun wanted to be honest. Her state of mind was naturally controlled by Zhang Chi.
"In a relationship, the one who opens their heart first is always the loser. But her victory or defeat is in the hands of the winner. So, don't fall in love with men."
Zhang Chi advised Gu Youyou.
Gu Youyou agreed wholeheartedly.
"That's right, especially don't open your heart to a man like him."
This was the third time Zhang Chi added something.
But he couldn't care about that now. He had to handle Jiang Qingyun properly.
Zhang Chi knew Jiang Qingyun's hidden identity, but he couldn't know.
Once he knew, he would have to make a choice.
Choosing to confront his master would mean a complete rupture.
Choosing not to confront her would mean that in his heart, principles weren't that important, and his character would collapse.
So, he had to stop Jiang Qingyun from revealing herself!
PS: I missed an update yesterday because the weather here is too unpredictable, and I caught a cold. I feel dizzy, and I'm not feeling well today either. This chapter hasn't reached the desired word count yet. I originally wanted to write until a crucial plot point, but my chest is hurting in waves, and I don't know what's going on. I can only rest for now. I'm not sure if there will be an update today, so don't wait for it. I should recover from the cold soon, and I will definitely resume updates tomorrow.
