After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 212 Unraveling Long Yan’S Heart Knot

Chapter 212: Resolving Long Yan's Inner Conflict

At this moment, Long Yan was busy feasting. Although she held a core position, others only valued and flattered her. The one who truly won her over was Wenren Li.

So, when she had drunk enough, she quietly left the table and gave the stage to Wenren Li.

Long Yan had a relatively favorable impression of this newcomer, Wenren Li. If it weren't for Wenren Li, she would have made a big mistake.

It could be said that Wenren Li had saved many people, including her.

However, with so many people trying to win over Wenren Li, she didn't want to engage in conversation with him amidst the hustle and bustle.

She was no longer just an elder; she was now the acting palace master of the Dragon Transformation Palace. Her every word and action represented the Dragon Transformation Palace.

If she got too close to Wenren Li, people might misunderstand that the Dragon Transformation Palace was also trying to recruit him.

Although the Dragon Transformation Palace was the top power, it didn't offer any benefits to Wenren Li.

With so many powerful individuals in the Dragon Transformation Palace, one more Wenren Li wouldn't receive much attention.

Moreover, Long Yan felt that the atmosphere in the Dragon Transformation Palace was not suitable for someone like Wenren Li, who had a chivalrous spirit.

Of course, Long Yan also had some personal motives.

She wanted to win over Wenren Li for the Sword Sect, so that the Sword Sect would have a powerful figure to protect it. Since she had been pulled back by her father to become the palace master, she couldn't stay in the Sword Sect permanently. These past few days, she had been worried that the Sword Sect might encounter danger.

In addition, Yin Xun had secretly sent people to attack the Sword Sect. Fortunately, Zhang Chi had taken the Sword Sect's people to support the Profound Heart Sect.

This was karma at work!

Because of Zhang Chi, Long Yan became even more convinced of this point. And because of this incident, she also realized the importance of having someone guard the home.

Otherwise, even if she personally killed Yin Xun, what difference would it make?

The same thing happening again was something she didn't want to see.

Wenren Li was powerful enough to protect a region.

Moreover, with his chivalrous heart, he should get along well with the people of the Sword Sect.

Long Yan planned to discuss this matter with Zhang Chi and let him take the initiative to win over Wenren Li.

Thinking about meeting Zhang Chi later, Long Yan suddenly felt nervous.

She suddenly realized that Zhang Chi had already received her letter, in which she mentioned wanting to be his true Dao companion and have his child through artificial insemination.

She even went as far as to say that as long as she could have one child...

At that time, Long Yan had experienced a sudden change and her emotions were fluctuating, so her thoughts were not very mature. But she boldly sent the letter out...

She had been busy before and hadn't felt much, but now that she was about to meet Zhang Chi, Long Yan suddenly panicked.

How embarrassing!

How would Zhang Chi see her?

And those embarrassing words in the letter, every time she thought about them, Long Yan wanted to bang her head against the wall.

She walked slowly along the way, reminiscent of the night when Jiang Qingyun and Zhang Chi bid farewell.

At the beginning, she was shy and fearful, but after meeting, she became exceptionally passionate and gentle, allowing Zhang Chi to do as he pleased.

When the heart of a strong individual starts to struggle, it means that they have already fallen.

Long Yan was bolder than Jiang Qingyun in this regard.

She realized that she couldn't avoid it, so she mustered up the courage to come to Zhang Chi's door.

Just as she was about to knock, the door opened by itself.

This was the Star Absorption Technique that Zhang Chi had been researching recently.

Unlike the martial arts version of the Star Absorption Technique, this one was not used to absorb power, but to attract certain objects.

When he saw Ghost Sovereign Wuji using the Ghost Devouring Divine Ability in the Talisman Treasure Sect's secret realm, Zhang Chi thought it was amazing.

When he had nothing to do, he would ponder over it.

However, Zhang Chi's research direction was different from devouring. He simply wanted to study a control skill.

Currently, Zhang Chi could only open doors or pick up small objects. It had no killing power against people; its strength was not even enough to catch a fly.

Long Yan was startled when she saw the door suddenly open.

"Sister, since you're here, why don't you come in?" Zhang Chi saw through her, just as he had done with Miao Yin.

Both being older sisters, Long Yan was more like a naive little white rabbit.

Originally, she was already flustered, but after Zhang Chi said that, she became even more flustered.

She mustered up the courage to look at Zhang Chi, only to see him smiling sweetly at her.

Long Yan felt as if her heart had been pierced in an instant.

She couldn't help but cover her chest and lower her head.

The boy's smile was so warm that she couldn't meet his gaze.

Her shy appearance was quite amusing, which made Zhang Chi unable to resist teasing her.

The fierce and domineering big sister was actually a shy and innocent girl behind the scenes. Zhang Chi really liked this feeling.

"I thought you would be in a bad mood today, so I specially prepared wine and snacks for you. I didn't expect my sister to ignore me."

"I'm not..."

Long Yan hurriedly explained, but she could clearly see a smug smile on Zhang Chi's face.

How could she not understand that this little brother was a bit mischievous!

But this kind of mischief didn't make her dislike him. Instead, it gave her a strange and sweet feeling.

She knew she had been teased, so she quickly put on a serious face and changed the subject, saying, "How did you know I was in a bad mood?"

"Jiejie, if I can't tell how you're feeling, then I'm not a qualified little brother," Zhang Chi said with simple words that pierced the heart.

Long Yan heard this and her heart was pierced once again.

Why could Zhang Chi understand her emotions?

Was it because he was smart?

Or was it because he had always silently cared for her?

Long Yan felt warm in her heart, but she said coquettishly, "I don't believe you. If you say I'm in a bad mood, can you tell me why?"

"Of course," Zhang Chi said calmly. "Jiejie, you're upset because of what happened during the previous battle, right!"

"How did you know?" Long Yan was surprised. The magical bombardment had created a fog on the battlefield. How could Zhang Chi, with his cultivation, see what happened?

"His Highness Cai Yu can share vision with others, and I saw it too," Zhang Chi said.

He didn't say this to Miao Yin earlier, but he also didn't say that he couldn't see. He wasn't afraid that Miao Yin would find trouble with him after knowing the truth.

There was no choice but to use different methods to win over the two sisters.

Knowing that Zhang Chi already knew the whole story, Long Yan's desire to confide in him grew stronger.

Long Yan began to tell Zhang Chi about her inner journey. Even though she hadn't received any enlightenment from Zhang Chi yet, she still felt much more relaxed.

Confiding was indeed one of the most effective ways to relieve mental stress.

So, people under great mental pressure should never think that talking to others about their problems is useless and will only be laughed at.

Keeping stress bottled up inside is not conducive to physical and mental health.

This applies to mortals as well as cultivators.

Zhang Chi came precisely because of this.

Don't say that he doesn't care about the well-being of his sisters. When they are at their most vulnerable, Zhang Chi will definitely be there.

The hearts of the sisters were already open, so if he didn't take this opportunity to enter, when would he be able to enter their hearts?

After listening to Long Yan's heartfelt words, Zhang Chi calmly poured her a glass of wine and said, "The situation is actually very simple. You're overthinking it."

"Simple?" Long Yan didn't expect that the problem that had troubled her for a long time would be considered simple by Zhang Chi.

"Of course it's simple. When you want to save someone, is it with good intentions or ill intentions?"

"Of course it's with good intentions."

"Can we call someone who did something bad with good intentions a bad person?"

"No, but... does that mean someone who did something bad with good intentions doesn't have to take responsibility?"

Long Yan felt that something was not quite right.

Zhang Chi shook his head and said, "I only said that you're not a bad person, but I didn't say you don't have to take responsibility."

As someone who studies law, Zhang Chi doesn't agree with the idea of "having good intentions, even if good deeds are not rewarded; having no ill intentions, even if evil deeds are not punished."

As a mage, he believes in the unity of subjective intentions and objective facts, and then analyzing the specific situation.

If you understand it from the perspective of Long Yan's thoughts and concerns, it's actually not complicated.

"Whether a person is good or bad is judged by their heart, and whether a person receives rewards or punishments is judged by their actions. Even if you did something bad today and caused someone's death, it doesn't mean you're not a kind person."

"But you can't use your kindness as an excuse to absolve yourself of guilt. That's already commendable."

"Fortunately, no tragedy happened today, so why should my sister still be upset?"

"Is it just luck this time? Will there be such luck next time?"

Long Yan didn't know what she was struggling with. Although Zhang Chi was right, she still had a knot in her heart that she couldn't untie.

"Even if there is no such luck next time, it doesn't matter. In life, who can guarantee that every choice they make is right?

As long as you can hold onto kindness and justice in your heart every time you make a choice, even if there are no good results, you can still have a clear conscience."

Zhang Chi has read a lot of inspirational quotes and has seen many confused young people. He is also very good at resolving their inner conflicts.

With a simple sentence, Long Yan suddenly felt enlightened.

Zhang Chi was right. No one can guarantee that all their choices are correct, but as long as they make choices with a sense of justice, even if the results are not good, they can still have a clear conscience.

"Thank you, Zhang Chi," Long Yan sincerely said. If it weren't for Zhang Chi's guidance, she didn't know how long she would have been trapped in this problem.

"No need to thank me. Making you happy is what I wanted," Zhang Chi said.

Suddenly, with this sentence, Long Yan couldn't handle it!

The ambiguous atmosphere returned in an instant, but at the same time, Long Yan also felt a bit guilty.

She had agreed to Long Yi's words without authorization, made a decision for Zhang Chi on her own, and even almost caused Zhang Chi to be harmed.

She couldn't justify this choice.

"That... if what I said in the letter puts you in a difficult position, you can refuse..."
