I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 599: Expelling (Additional chapter for the leader Feng Junzi Haoran)
Hearing Shen Xu's words, Zhang Chen smiled softly: "Second uncle, this is wrong. When people live in this world, they have to constantly fight. Fight for status, fight for money, fight for cultivation resources. If you want to climb up, how can you not fight?"

"I don't know the time limit for recovering the relic. If I wait for thirty or fifty years to recover it, what's the point for me? I am a pragmatic person. Compared with the illusory future, I might as well fight for all the resources I can see." Zhang Chen said this and looked at Shen Xu: "Although I don't know what the relic left by my mother is, it must be extremely precious, otherwise there would not be so many Shen family members who care about it. Using the relic to exchange for a place in the inner courtyard of the academy, it's not a loss for the Shen family, right?"

Shen Xu was speechless when he heard this and looked at Zhang Chen. Only then did he feel how difficult this kid was.

"Since you have made the decision, I naturally can't persuade you anymore. It's useless to say more at this point. But there is one thing you need to pay close attention to. Shen Qiu is the son of Grandma Wang Xifeng. The quota you snatched is Shen Qiu's quota. I'm afraid Shen Qiu and Grandma will not give up. I don't know how many twists and turns will be caused by then. The open and hidden attacks are extremely dangerous. I'm afraid you can't stop them. Even I can't save you." There was a hint of alienation in Shen Xu's voice. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Chen's self-willed decision to take Shen Qiu's quota.

“No matter how fierce the outside world is, I will remain unchanged. I chose this path myself and I will never regret it.” There was a hint of determination in Zhang Chen’s voice.

After hearing Zhang Chen's words, Shen Xu said no more. He just sighed slightly, patted Zhang Chen's shoulder, turned around and said goodbye.

In the afternoon, Zhang Chen went to Jinling City to check out the temples in Jinling City and investigate the incense offerings of various gods. He returned in the evening. However, as soon as he entered the gate of the Shen family, Zhang Chen felt that the atmosphere was a little bit wrong. The guards of the Shen family seemed to look at him strangely.

"Could it be that something strange has happened to the Shen family again?" Thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen walked quickly towards the backyard.

Time goes back to a quarter of an hour ago. At the gate, a person dressed as a noblewoman stood at the threshold with an expressionless face, while a little maid was standing with her hands on her hips, chattering arrogantly:

"You savages, you really don't know what's good for you. The Shen family treats you as honored guests and provides you with food, clothing, shelter and transportation. This is a gift. Now that the Shen family has suffered a disaster, they ask you to give up Lixiang Garden and let the young ladies live there. How dare you resist?"

"Especially you, you lowly bastard, you actually dared to steal the jade pendant of our eldest master. You are such a lowly bastard, an ungrateful beast!" The little girl pointed at Zhang Fei and cursed.

Zhang Fei was so angry that his body was shaking and his eyes were red and swollen: "I didn't steal the jade pendant. I picked it up from the door. I didn't steal it!"

"You stole it! You are a wild man from the mountains, and your hands and feet are really dishonest." The little girl cursed: "A bunch of lowly people like you are only fit to live in the wilderness. You live in the Shen family and pollute the Shen family's aura of wealth."

Zhang Taowei over there was immediately displeased when he heard that, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Then he saw his special ability activated. The little maid stretched out her palm and slapped herself on the mouth continuously, causing blood foam to fly everywhere.

"Asshole! How dare you show off in front of me?" Wang Xifeng, who was standing aside, sensed the mysterious fluctuation of energy and immediately became angry. The guards beside her heard the shout and rushed directly towards Zhang Taowei.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu put down the package in his hand, took a step forward and stood in front of Zhang Taowei, and immediately the two sides started fighting.

When Zhang Chen arrived, he saw a group of Shen family guards who had already captured the three little ones and pressed them into the mud. The three little ones had bruises on their faces and torn clothes, and it was obvious that they had suffered a lot.

Wang Xifeng stood with her hands on her hips, watching all this with an expressionless face, her beautiful face full of coldness. The little girl next to her was cursing, spewing out all kinds of ugly words, such as bastard, savage, thief, etc.

At this time, Zhang was kneeling on the ground, crawling at Wang Xifeng's feet begging for mercy, saying all kinds of soft words.

Although the three little ones were pressed to the ground with their faces buried in the mud, the half of their faces that were exposed were full of stubbornness and they refused to bow their heads even if they died.

Zhang Chen was furious when he saw this scene: "Sister-in-law is so majestic!"

He set his eyes on a guard beside Wang Xifeng. Divine light was flowing around him. He was actually a seventh-level deity. It shouldn't be difficult for him to suppress the three little ones. No wonder they failed.

As Zhang Chen finished speaking, the chaotic atmosphere in the field suddenly stagnated. Wang Xifeng turned around suddenly and saw Zhang Chen walking towards her with a blank expression: "You are back just in time. You must take good care of your brothers and sisters. They are so young and have learned bad habits. We are a family, I will discipline them for you, and you don't have to thank me. If you don't correct their bad habits, it will be too late to regret when they go out and cause trouble in the future."

Zhang Chen looked at Wang Xifeng's beautiful face. He certainly knew why Wang Xifeng came, but he didn't expect Wang Xifeng's counterattack to come so quickly.

"It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to leave the Shen family and avoid causing trouble."

An idea flashed through Zhang Chen's mind. He glanced at the warriors who were holding down the three little ones and Zhang who was kneeling on the ground. He heard Zhang Fei say stubbornly, "Big Pot, I... didn't... embarrass you! I didn't... steal anything, and I... couldn't... do... such... embarrassing... things."

Cheng Yu's voice was full of stubbornness at this time: "They are slandering us, it's really hateful!"

"Chen'er!" Zhang looked at Zhang Chen eagerly.

Zhang Chen had no expression on his face. He first helped Zhang up, then looked at the warrior who had pinned the three children to the ground. The next moment, frost flashed across his eyes. The warrior was covered in frost and instantly became an ice man. The three children escaped and fled behind Zhang Chen with bruised faces. "Who did it?" Zhang Chen asked softly.

The six warriors who had held down the three little ones had now frozen to death, without making any sound.

Those six men had cultivated the power of transformation and could be considered as good fighters outside, but they had no power to resist Zhang Chen's coldness.

"What if I did it?" The seventh-rank god stepped forward, his voice full of indifference.

“It’s good enough as long as you admit it.” Zhang Chen’s eyes were full of coldness. He was just a seventh-rank god, but he dared to be so presumptuous to his relatives?
Just as Zhang Chen was about to attack with a chill running through his body, he heard a shout from afar: "Stop!"

Zhang Chen's breath could not help but pause. He turned his head and saw Zhang Gaoqiu walking towards him quickly. He scanned the field and looked at Zhang Chen who was angry. He quickly reached out and held Zhang Chen's shoulder: "Good brother, don't be impulsive. Leave the rest to me. I will definitely give you an explanation."

Zhang Gaoqiu turned to look at Wang Xifeng, with a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Why is Madam Wang like this? You actually humiliated my Zhang family like this. No matter how poor my Zhang family is, we can't let a bunch of slaves humiliate us."

Does Zhang Gaoqiu want to stand up for Zhang Chen?
He doesn't want to at all!
He just saw a perfect opportunity to kill Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen and Wang Xifeng are now in conflict. If I take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, Zhang Chen will be killed without a burial place.

When Wang Xifeng saw Zhang Gaoqiu come forward, her eyes finally showed some movement. She then looked at the girl who had been speaking foul language before, and said in a cold voice, "Get rid of her!"

"Madam!" The maid's face turned pale, her body trembled, and she fell to her knees.

"Remove the head!" Mrs. Wang repeated.

The girl's body was shaking and tears were in her eyes. The next moment, she suddenly pulled out the sword of the guard beside her and slashed it across her neck. As blood spurted, her body fell to the ground as soft as cotton.

"Not enough!" Zhang Gaoqiu said coldly when he heard it.

Since he wanted to win over Zhang Chen and gain his trust, how could he not do it well?
"You guys, go ahead!" Mrs. Wang looked at her own warriors.

The faces of several warriors changed, but without saying a word, they suddenly drew the long swords at their waists and cut off their own necks.

For them, death is still scary, but there are things in this world that are scarier than death. Their families and their children are all opportunities for them to end their lives.

"My dear cousin." Zhang Gaoqiu turned his head to look at Zhang Chen and asked, "How is it?"

At this time, the only people alive in the field were Wang Xifeng and the seventh-level god. Zhang Chen glanced at the god and then looked at Zhang Gaoqiu beside him. Although he didn't know why this grandson helped him, he knew that the other party definitely had no good intentions.

Since he wanted to take the opportunity to leave the Shen family mansion, of course he would do whatever he wanted. So facing Zhang Gaoqiu's gaze, he shook his head: "Not enough! Is the bloodline of my Zhang family so lowly?"

"Don't go too far!" Mrs. Wang's face changed. She understood the meaning of Zhang Chen's words. The other party wanted the head of this seventh-level god.

A seventh-level deity can be considered a top-notch master no matter where he is placed.

Zhang Chen sighed softly upon hearing this: "It seems that the Shen family can't tolerate me! Well, if I can't stay here, I'll find another place to stay. Zhang Taowei, Zhang Fei, quickly pack your luggage and we'll move out of the Shen Mansion. Facing such a noble relative, we poor relatives dare not try to marry him."

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Zhang Gaoqiu suddenly became anxious. If Zhang Chen moved out of the Shen Mansion, what would he do then? What about his marriage with his eldest cousin?
So Zhang Gaoqiu quickly stopped Zhang Chen and said, "Brother, don't be impulsive. I will stand up for you."

After Zhang Gaoqiu comforted Zhang Chen, he turned to look at Wang Xifeng and said, "Madam Wang, are members of the Zhang family so lowly? How dare a mere seventh-rank god offend you?"
