I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 564: Grace
Shen Qiu knew clearly in his heart that Zhang Chen must be the descendant of the Zhang family in Kyoto. His identity could not be false. After all, his bloodline power could be verified.

Therefore, he would never harm the other party, otherwise if the news spread to the Zhang family in Shangjing, he would be in big trouble.

But he would never help the other party. As long as he found a suitable excuse, even if the Zhang family in Beijing knew about what happened today in the future, they would not be able to blame him.

The most crucial thing is the disagreement within the Shen family.

If Zhang Chen could die here, if this unlucky child who has the right to inherit the Zhang family's property could die halfway, all the troubles would disappear.

Of the three siblings in the Zhang family, the youngest brother Zhang Fei was born to Zhang, so he naturally had no right to inherit the property left by his aunt. As for Zhang Taowei, a girl had no right to inherit.

The only one who had the right of inheritance was Zhang Chen! Because Zhang Chen was the legitimate son of his aunt, the only bloodline left.

"It's fine if you want the Eight Treasures Locking Heart Pill, but you need to go to the Zhang family in Kyoto to verify your bloodline. Once you bring the Zhang family's certificate, I will hand over the Eight Treasures Locking Heart Pill to you with both hands. In consideration of the fact that you may become relatives of mine in the future, I will not drive you away. I will allow you to take my ship to Jinling, and then I will send someone to take you to Kyoto to verify your bloodline." After Shen Qiu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and disappeared on the spot.

“Mr. Shen, my child’s body has stopped breathing. It will rot in a few days. It’s still half a year to get to Nanjing, let alone Kyoto. How can my child last that long? I’m afraid that by the time he reaches Kyoto, even his bones will have rotted away.” Zhang led the two children to chase after him.

In the room, only Jiang Nan was left playing with the chess pieces in his hand, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Miss, what do you think?" At this time, the little maid next to her came over with a teapot, put the teapot on the table, and then stretched out her slightly rough slender jade fingers to collect the chess pieces on the board.

The little girl was Jiang Nan's personal maid, and they had played together since childhood. Although they were master and servant, they were like sisters: "I always feel that Master Shen's attitude is a little ambiguous."

"You can actually see that. That's really good." Jiang Nan picked up the chess pieces and put them into the chess basket one by one.

"I don't understand! I just feel that Mr. Shen's character is a little different from before. If he were based on his previous temper, he would have beaten the man to death long ago, and there is no way he would have taken him to Jinling." The little girl said with a smile.

Jiang Nan nodded and said, "You're right. Based on our interactions over the past few months, my cousin's behavior today was indeed rather ambiguous."

Then he looked up at the little girl: "What does this mean?"

"What does that mean?" The little girl looked at Jiang Nan blankly.

"This means that the other party's identity is real, but my cousin doesn't want to help, so he's just trying to find a way to shirk responsibility." Jiang Nan's eyes gleamed with wisdom.

"Ah?" The little girl was stunned when she heard this: "Aren't the Zhang family and the Shen family old relatives? Why would Master Shen just stand by and watch?"

Jiang Nan remained silent upon hearing this, just playing with the chess piece, looking thoughtful.

Soon, they heard crying sounds coming from outside the cabin. Jiang Nan listened to the crying outside the cabin and asked, "Who is crying outside?"

The little girl walked out of the door and came back soon: "It was that woman who brought her two children, kneeling in front of the cousin's door and begging for mercy."

"Hmm?" Jiang Nan frowned when he heard that, but he didn't say anything. He just said, "I'm tired. Let's take a rest."

Now the ship is getting closer to the south, the weather is getting hotter, and it is easy to make people sleepy.

The little girl helped Jiang Nan lie down on the bed. Jiang Nan tossed and turned in bed, listening to the faint crying sounds beside his ears, but he couldn't fall asleep.

After a full quarter of an hour, Jiang Nan turned over and sat up, saying impatiently, "It's really noisy. It's so noisy in the middle of the day that I can't sleep. If crying is useful, everyone can just cry directly when encountering problems. Why bother to use other tricks?"

"Miss, I will go and chase that woman away and tell them to stay away." The little girl saw Jiang Nan with an impatient look on her face and spoke quickly.

"No need! I have an Eight Treasures Heart-Locking Pill left to me by my mother. You can give it to him." Jiang Nan took out a sachet from his body and handed it to the little girl in a bad mood.

"Miss, this is a miracle medicine that can save your life at a critical moment. It was left to you by your madam before she passed away. Why did you give it away? You absolutely cannot do this. If the master finds out, he will beat me to death." The little girl hurriedly tried to persuade her.

Jiang Nan sighed when he heard this: "My mother and Zhang Chen's mother are also biological sisters, so they are not outsiders. Besides, I have heard of this person's reputation. It is said that he is engaged to the little cousin of the Shen family. The little cousin is the apple of the eye of the old lady in the Shen family. I am about to live under someone else's roof, so it would be good to make friends with her in advance. Besides, it's just a pill. Whoever I save doesn't matter."

"Do it quickly!" Jiang Nan waved his hand. The little girl didn't dare to refute and could only take the pill and walk out.

Jiang Nan stood up and sat in front of the table, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "When I came here, I sent people to collect information about the Jinling Shen family. I had noticed the engagement of that young lady a long time ago. In addition, Zhang Chen came from the north, so it should be that person. Although Zhang Chen's family was demoted because of certain things, it did not affect their identity as members of the Zhang family. I took the opportunity to express my stance with a pill, which can be regarded as a stepping stone. If I have the opportunity to make friends with the Kyoto Zhang family, it will be a hundred benefits for me. As for my mother's soul, I still have to rely on the Zhang family to find a solution."

Is Zhang Chen's criminal status important? Of course not. She just wanted to take the opportunity to show it to the Zhang family in Jingdu, so that she could have a chance to make friends with them. The Zhang family in Shangjing! That's the Zhang family in Shangjing!
"Of course the most important thing is that the efficacy of that life-saving medicine is about to expire. In this era of mysterious disappearance, even the medicinal properties of the elixir are constantly disappearing. Even if Zhang Chen is not given it, its efficacy will be mostly lost in less than three to five months." Jiang Nan sighed softly.

Zhang was kneeling outside the door begging and crying. The two little ones were crying and kneeling on Zhang's left and right, almost crying themselves into tears.

At this time, the little girl came out and handed over the sachet with reluctance: "Lady, please don't cry. My young lady is kind and cannot bear to see you cry. This is the elixir passed down by my young lady's mother. It is for my young lady to use in an emergency. Please use it."

Zhang looked at the pill handed over by the little girl and was stunned for a moment. Then she quickly took the pill, thanked her profusely, got up, and walked away.

Looking at Zhang's receding back, the little girl scratched her head, her face full of emotion: "What a pity for such a good thing!"

Zhang took a small boat all the way, and after returning to the boat, she stuffed the pill into Zhang Chen's mouth. Then the family moved Zhang Chen's body to a cool place and stored it, waiting for Zhang Chen to wake up.

As for moving into the cabin?

But it’s not possible!
The cabin is shared by everyone, and no one would live with a dead person.

As the pills entered their stomachs, the family breathed a sigh of relief. Then Zhang looked at Cheng Yu and asked, "What should we do now?"

"Wait!"

Cheng Yu's eyes were full of bitterness, and there was nothing he could do except wait.

What can she do? She is also desperate!
Zhang Chen's situation was too special. Who could have thought that he would die without a sound?
The opponent did not have any injuries on his body, nor any hidden wounds in his body, but his soul was missing. He must have been ambushed.

"No matter who it is, I will avenge you." Cheng Yu stroked Zhang Chen's chest, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Wait until we find Zhang’s family and see if we can retrieve Zhang Chen’s soul in time and see if Zhang Chen can still be saved.

However, they were just women, so how could they know the contact information of the Zhang family? They could only ask people every time the big ship approached the shore to resupply supplies.

But after asking around, as time passed, there was still no news.

Seeing the time passing by little by little, Zhang couldn't sit still any longer: "I'll go and beg that young lady!"

Zhang came to Jiang Nan's door again and asked the little maid to report.
inside the house

Jiang Nan was reading a book when a little girl walked in from outside the room: "Miss, the woman from that day is here again. She wants to see you."

"To see me?" Jiang Nan was slightly startled when he heard that, then he closed the book with his fingers, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Although she is Zhang Kecheng's second wife, she is still an elder after all. When you invite her in, remember to be respectful and don't be rude."

The little girl took the order and left. Not long after, Zhang came in from outside the room and knelt down when she saw Jiang Nan: "My lady greets you, young lady. I kowtow to you."

"Don't be so polite. We are relatives after all, but you can't be so polite. It will make me feel embarrassed." Jiang Nan quickly helped Zhang up and asked, "Has my brother Zhang Chen woke up?"

Hearing this, Zhang burst into tears and expressed her family's request.

Hearing Zhang's request, Jiang Nan was stunned: "Looking for Zhang's family? That's troublesome! Zhang's direct descendants are usually in Kyoto. It's almost impossible to find Zhang's family outside."

It's like why people from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou would go to remote fifth-tier cities to settle down and start a business?

"Then...what should we do?" Zhang was immediately confused and felt as if struck by lightning when she heard this.

"I can only try my best to send people to search along the way. If we can find it, that's fine, we are lucky. If we can't find it, please don't blame me." Jiang Nan said.

Isn't this the chance to build a relationship with the Zhang family? It's right here.

Hearing Jiang Nan's words, Zhang swore to the heavens: "We will never dare to have such thoughts. Even if things fail, we will be grateful for the young lady's great kindness and remember it in our hearts."
