I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 580: The Humiliation of the Fiancee (Thanks to the leader of the group 'Bamboo Leaf Seeds')

Zhang Chen didn't have any objection when he heard this. There were so many strange tricks in this world, and people could fall into their traps if they weren't careful. It was normal for the Shen family to be strict.

Shen Xu took out a jade plate from his sleeve and placed it on the top of Zhang Chen's head. He explained, "This jade plate is a secret treasure that my Shen family dug out from a large tomb. It can detect a person's blood and soul."

After checking, Shen Xu said, "It is indeed the bloodline of our Shen family and Zhang family, and your souls have not been tampered with by anyone."

"Tomorrow you will come with me to meet the old lady and recognize your relatives." Shen Xu said.

Hearing Shen Xu's words, Zhang Chen nodded and said politely, "Thank you for your help."

In Jiang Nan's room, Jiang Nan was playing chess with Shen Ling, who was dressed in red. The sound of their moves was constant and particularly crisp in the silent room.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps, accompanied by a little girl's cry, came from outside the house: "Miss, it's bad! It's bad!"

Shen Ling paused while picking up the chess piece, turned her head to look at the door, and said unhappily: "Miss, I'm fine, what's wrong with me?"

"Miss, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened! Our son-in-law is here!" Qingque, Shen Ling's personal maid, said anxiously.

"What?" Shen Ling couldn't help but change color after hearing this: "Who sent this news? Is the news accurate?"

The person she liked was her eldest cousin Zhang Gaoqiu. They were very close and had already secretly decided to spend their lives together. When she suddenly heard the news, she was immediately panicked.

"I heard the managers and servants talking about it, so I came here to report it to the young lady," Qingque said.

Shen Ling put down the chess piece in her hand, her eyes and brows were tightly knitted. After a long while, she said, "Go and find out for me what's going on with my fiancé."

"I have already inquired for the young lady." Qingque said.

"What do you mean?" Shen Ling asked.

"Unfashionable! Extremely unfashionable! He's wearing tattered clothes that only lower class people wear, and he looks like a total bumpkin from the countryside." Qingque said.

Hearing Qingque's narration, Jiang Nan's expression flickered slightly, revealing a subtle expression: "No way? Could it be him?"

"What should I do? This is a big trouble! I am the daughter of the Shen family, how could I marry a country bumpkin?" Shen Ling's face darkened and her eyes were filled with anger.

"Congratulations, sister Ling'er. I'm afraid good things are about to happen. You may have to ask for a glass of wedding wine when the time comes." Jiang Nan joked with a smile.

"Hmph, I won't marry that bumpkin from the north! I've already secretly made a lifelong commitment to Brother Zhang Gaoqiu, how could I marry that bumpkin! I'll be the first one to disagree with this marriage!" Shen Ling stood up suddenly and overturned the chessboard: "Qingque, lead the way, I'm going to warn that bumpkin, so that he will know his place and take the initiative to cancel the engagement."

Qingque led the way in front, and Shen Ling, dressed in red, followed closely behind with a menacing look. Jiang Nan was afraid that the two would cause trouble, so he quickly caught up with them.

"Sister Shen Ling, don't act rashly. Everything can be discussed." Jiang Nan followed closely and quickly comforted Shen Ling: "We still need to talk nicely about this matter. If the other party agrees to give up this marriage, it would be great. If not, it's not too late to think of other ways."

"You don't have to persuade me. He is just a bumpkin from the north and a criminal from the border. How can he have a say?" Shen Ling's voice was full of toughness.

Then the three of them came to Zhang Chen's residence aggressively, and saw Shen Ling kick the door open: "Who is Zhang Chen?"

After Zhang Chen sent Shen Xu away, he was standing in the patio thinking about the complicated affairs of the Shen family. Suddenly, he saw the door was kicked open, and a familiar face, wearing a bright red dress, rushed in from the door in a hurry.

Looking at the girl in the red dress, two white and round objects subconsciously flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, and his blood in his heart couldn't help but become slightly agitated.

When Shen Ling saw Zhang Chen, she also recognized his face. She immediately blushed and drew her sword, angrily saying, "You pervert! I didn't expect you to hide here. I'll dig out your eyes."

There was anger in Shen Ling's voice, her eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire, and the sword in her hand suddenly stabbed at Zhang Chen.

The sword was so fast and sharp, without holding back at all, that it whistled in the air, causing Zhang Chen's eyelids to twitch. He bent his body and quickly avoided the fierce sword.

He knew he was in the wrong and did not dare to fight back. After all, he saw that the other person's thing was big and white with a hint of black... "Sister Ling'er, don't do this!" At this moment, Jiang Nan chased in from outside the door, and saw Shen Ling stabbing Zhang Chen with a sword. His pupils shrank involuntarily, and he hurried forward to intercept her.

"Sister Jiang Nan, please get out of the way and let me stab this scoundrel to death." Shen Ling's voice was filled with shame and anger.

How could such a pure young lady be seen naked by others? When had she, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, ever suffered such a loss?

"Sister Shen Ling, this person is an honored guest of the Shen family. If you stab him, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to the old lady. What grudge do you have against him that you actually drew your sword against him? If it gets out, I'm afraid that..." Jiang Nan looked at Shen Ling and tried to comfort her, his voice full of warning.

Hearing Jiang Nan say that he had a grudge against the other party, Shen Ling suddenly became furious. She felt ashamed and angry. How could she tell such a thing to outsiders?

Can’t say!
If she tells anyone, her reputation will be ruined!

"One day sooner or later, I will dig out your dog eyes! Where is Zhang Chen? Tell Zhang Chen to get out here!" Shen Ling sheathed his sword and said angrily.

She also knew that the matter couldn't be made a big deal, otherwise her reputation would be ruined.

"I am Zhang Chen!" Zhang Chen smiled bitterly.

"You are Zhang Chen?" Shen Ling's face turned even more pale when she heard this. "You are just as despicable as I imagined. You are indeed a low-class person from the borderland who only knows how to do some dirty things that are not worthy of being shown on the stage. You want me to marry a little jerk like you? It's just wishful thinking!"

When Zhang Chen heard this, he immediately understood. Could it be that the girl in red in front of him was his fiancée?
Zhang Chen looked at the woman carefully at this time and saw that her eyebrows were like distant black, just like the green of spring mountains, neither thick nor thin, just right; her eyes were like autumn water with stars, shining and shining, hiding endless spirit. Her nose was straight and beautiful, like a beautiful jade carved with fine jade, small and delicate. Her lips were like cherries, red without any makeup, and the slightly upward arc seemed to be blown by the spring breeze, making people happy.

She had her hair tied up lightly, with a few strands of hair falling on her snow-white neck, which made her skin look even smoother than snow. She was wearing a red skirt with small flowers embroidered on the hem, which swayed gently with her movements, like a butterfly fluttering among the flowers.

But the arrogance between the eyebrows and the condescending attitude at the corners of the eyes destroyed the beauty.

"She is quite pretty, a rare beauty, but she lacks the ethereal and powerful aura of Xie Lingyun, nor the gentleness of Jiang Nan. She only has the toughness of a tomboy." Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

But at this time Zhang Chen also reacted, recalling the scene he saw in the dense forest that day, and thought to himself: "My fiancée is hanging out with another man, am I being cheated on?"

"Zhang Gaoqiu, Shen Ling, how come the two of them are together?" Zhang Chen's eyes showed a trace of thought. Hearing the girl cursing, Zhang Chen came back to his senses and frowned: "I say, if you want to talk, talk properly. A good girl speaks so harshly. It's really not like the daughter of a wealthy family like the Shen family. It's too vulgar!"

"You bastard, you actually dared to call me vulgar!!!" Shen Ling was immediately furious when she heard that. Without saying a word, she drew her sword and stabbed Zhang Chen fiercely, but was held back by Jiang Nan on the side: "Sister, don't use knives or guns. If you have anything to say, just talk nicely. If you cause trouble and hurt the other person, that will be bad. You won't be able to explain to the old lady!"

Shen Ling stopped after hearing this, raised her sword and pointed it at Zhang Chen, her voice full of arrogance and anger: "Little country bumpkin, I ask you whether you will cancel the engagement or not?"

Zhang Chen didn't get angry when he heard the other party calling him a little bumpkin. He had the mentality of an immortal cultivator and had lived two lives as a human being. How could his mentality be shaken by a few dirty words?
Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Chen was not angry, but just looked at Shen Ling quietly: "I don't know if I am a country bumpkin, but you are now a noisy shrew, and you look no different from those street-swearing women. I am sorry for your upbringing."

"You actually called me a shrew!!!" Shen Ling was provoked by Zhang Chen, her eyes filled with anger, and she was about to swing the sword in her hand, but was held back by Jiang Nan: "Little sister, don't say it! Don't say it! Let's go back first, the elders will naturally decide everything, let's not make trouble here."

At this point, she helplessly stretched out her slender finger and pointed at Zhang Chen: "You, you are so unforgiving when you open your mouth!"

After saying that, he dragged the furious Shen Ling away, leaving Zhang Chen standing in the yard in silence. "Well, the duck that was in hand flew away, and the marriage granted by the family is probably going to be cancelled." Zhang Chen shook his head and laughed. He could find any woman he wanted. Shen Ling, although she was white and big, was really pretty to Zhang Chen.

"But the matter here is not that simple, and it involves many complicated issues." Zhang Chen scratched his head: "I will take away the things left by my mother first, and then pull my legs out of the quagmire of the Shen family. I am too lazy to obey the orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker."

"Brother, who is making noise in the yard?" At this moment, Zhang Taowei walked out of the house and asked Zhang Chen.

"She's just a shrew who doesn't know her place." Zhang Chen replied nonchalantly.

outside the gate

Shen Ling, who had not yet walked far, pressed down the sword again and rushed back with gritted teeth.
