Chapter 616 Tu Shanqing's Friendship
Zhang Chen listened to the words of Chai Chuanxin and Zhang Gaoqiu. The other party did not know the ability of the Gambling Fox and had unknowingly fallen into the verbal trap of the Gambling Fox. At this time, a thought arose in his mind: "Zhang Gaoqiu is finished!"

Zhang Gaoqiu is screwed—he said it! Even Jesus can’t save him!

The Gambling Fox turned his head and looked at Zhang Chen, with a look of doubt in his eyes: "Could it be that this kid saw through my tricks? He actually avoided my verbal trap perfectly?"

"I have to get closer to this kid. He is simply a human treasure!" Chai Chuanxin looked at Zhang Chen. Although Zhang Chen had the power of reincarnation to conceal his aura, under Chai Chuanxin's gambling power, bright divine light flowed around Zhang Chen's body. The divine light enveloped the ten directions of the world. The brilliance of the treasure light was unprecedented. Even compared with the twelfth-level god, it was much more powerful.

And each ray of light represented a magical power or a treasure, which made Chai Chuanxin's heart tremble with fear, and there was a hint of horror in his eyes.

It’s not that he hasn’t seen strong people or treasures before, but the precious light on Zhang Chen’s body is really too exaggerated.

"Those rays of light should be twelfth-level treasures, right? Any twelfth-level treasure in the world is extremely precious, and ordinary strong people have never seen it. But this kid has several of them on his body? Could this kid be the illegitimate child of God?" The eyes of the Gambling Fox were full of greed and shock.

Of course, the precious light he saw was not really leaking out of Zhang Chen's body. It was just that under the rules of gambling, countless chips that could be used to bet on treasure evolved from Zhang Chen's body, and the gambling fox only judged what kind of means Zhang Chen had based on those chips.

"I must make friends with this guy! No one can stop me! Even if the king of heaven comes, it won't help!" The Gambling Fox was shocked: "This guy is a big shot, and there is no harm in making friends with him. Of course, if I can take advantage of the situation to get a twelfth-level mystery, it would be even better."

The storm calmed down temporarily. The Gambling Fox turned his head and looked at Zhang Chen, his voice full of gentleness: "What is your name, brother?"

Zhang Chen glanced at Chai Chuanxin and said, "Have you forgotten? We met before. You are really a noble man who forgets things easily."

The Gambling Fox had certainly never met Zhang Chen, he was just hit on the back by Zhang Chen a few times. But Zhang Chen and Chai Chuanxin were acquaintances, they became apprentices together, one to Han Suzhen and the other to Chen Sanliang.

Tu Shanqing was stunned when he heard this, then quickly browsed through his original body's memory. The next moment, his face changed and he cursed in his heart: "Damn Chai Chuanxin, how dare you ruin my big plan and delay my recognition of my adoptive father!"

Now that he knew the cause and effect between Zhang Chen, Chen Sanliang, and Chai Chuanxin, Tu Shanqing's eyes turned and he showed a helpless look: "After all, we are brothers. The reason why I betrayed you was also helpless. Unfortunately, everything has happened. None of this was my original intention."

Tu Shanqing cursed in his heart at this time: "Damn it, the cause and effect involved in this body is a bit too big? I actually have to take the blame for it. However, this body is causally involved with the kid in front of me, and the relationship between the two is very close. We can become disciples under the same roof. This is my chance."

"Tell me, if the teacher in the academy asks me to betray him, would I dare to resist? If I dare to say no, once I am banned by the academy, my future on the path of Confucianism will be cut off." The Gambling Fox sighed softly, his voice full of helplessness.

Zhang Chen turned his head and glanced at the Gambling Fox, thoughts flashing through his mind: "Why is this guy explaining to me? And he even deliberately stood up for me to get closer to me? Could it be that he has set his sights on me? Could this grandson have seen something?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen's attitude changed, and he decided to pretend to be nice to the fox first and see what tricks the fox was going to play.

Seeing Zhang Chen staring at him without saying anything, Chai Chuanxin said, "When you are in the martial arts world, you have no choice. There are many things I can only sigh and feel helpless about."

At this point, Tu Shanqing said, "To be honest, I have already secretly sent a letter to you to apologize to you. You have forgiven me and asked me to go undercover in the human world."

Now that Chen Sanliang is in the demon clan, isn’t it very simple for him to get the attitude he wants from Chen Sanliang?

Moreover, Chen Sanliang is in charge of the entire demon clan, so of course he knew his identity a long time ago.

Fearing that Zhang Chen might not believe him, Tu Shanqing pulled out a secret letter from his sleeve: "This secret letter was written to me by the master, asking me to find out the situation in Jinling and the details of Chongzheng Academy to prepare for the discussion with the master."

Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard this: "Has Chen Sanliang set his sights on Chongzheng Academy? He really doesn't fight a battle without preparation, and he has already sent undercover agents to various academies. It seems that Chen Sanliang's previous success in the major academies of the human race was not an absolute crushing victory or luck, but he had been prepared for it."

Zhang Chen took the letter from Tu Shanqing, opened it and saw that it was indeed written by Chen Sanliang himself. There was also the scent of Chen Sanliang on it, which could definitely not be fake.

"Chen Sanliang is so bold that he has set his sights on Chongzheng Academy. Chongzheng Academy is second only to the Imperial Academy in the world. Chen Sanliang's ambition and boldness are growing." Zhang Chen swept his eyes over the handwriting on the letter. It was indeed Chen Sanliang who instructed Tu Shanqing to investigate the details of Chongzheng Academy.

Tu Shanqing stared at Zhang Chen's face and observed his reaction. Normally, this secret letter was top secret and he couldn't show it to Zhang Chen, but he couldn't stand the mysterious chips circulating around Zhang Chen.

Furthermore, as for the relationship between Zhang Chen and Chen Sanliang, everyone with some status in the entire demon clan has heard of it, so one of the most effective ways is to build a relationship with Zhang Chen through Chen Sanliang and reduce Zhang Chen's vigilance.

Zhang Chen put the letter away and returned it to Tu Shanqing: "So there is such a reason! Since the master has forgiven you, I will naturally not delve into it further."

Tu Shanqing was overjoyed upon hearing this, and quickly agreed, "That's right, the two of us are in a place where we are unfamiliar with each other, so we need to look after each other and form an alliance."

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this. He seemed to have a connection with foxes, and he also wanted to see what Tu Shanqing was up to, so he opened his mouth and responded, "That's right. You and I will have to take care of each other in the future."

At this time, everyone in the room looked at each other, their eyes constantly moving back and forth between Zhang Chen and the Shen family's camps, with an expression of watching spectators.

Soon a middle-aged gentleman came in, holding a list in his hand. Everyone stood up and saluted: "Hello, sir." The gentleman nodded: "Sit down!"

Everyone sat down, and then the teacher opened the book and said, "I am the teacher of Class A: Song Yi. Let's call the roll first so that everyone can get to know each other."

Master Song Yi looked at the list in his hand and began to call out the names one by one. At this time, Shen Ling looked at Zhang Chen with a cold look in her eyes, which said, "Wait for embarrassment, the Shen family will never save you."

Facing Shen Ling's mocking eyes, Zhang Chen sat there calmly without moving, as if the other party's every move had no effect on him.

"Chai passes on firewood."

"Disciple is here." Chai Chuanxin stood up quickly.

Master Song Yi took a look, then nodded and asked him to sit down, and then continued to point out the next name:
"Zhang Xiaohua."

Zhang Xiaohua also stood up respectfully at this time: "The students are here."

In this world, people who can learn characters and become teachers at Chongzheng Academy are definitely not ordinary people, but are of noble origin. Moreover, in today's world, people pay attention to respecting teachers. Although Zhang Xiaohua is a little prince, he dare not be rude to the teacher, lest it be spread out and ruin his reputation.

If the Pingbian Palace wants to conquer the world, it must recruit talented people and gather all kinds of famous people in the world. He dare not be arrogant, lest it ruins the big plan.

"Young Prince, are you still used to living in Jinling?" The gentleman did not click any more, but asked.

Zhang Xiaohua nodded: "I have lived in the north for many years. The weather in Jinling is a bit hot and humid, and I am still not used to it."

After hearing what Zhang Xiaohua said, the gentleman said, "I'll bring some ice cubes to the prince later to cool him down."

Zhang Chen glanced at Song Yi. It was too obvious that this guy was treating him differently. His plan to curry favor with King Pingbian fell directly on Zhang Chen's face.

Then Song Yi continued to call out names:

"Zhang Gaoqiu!"

Zhang Gaoqiu stood up and replied, "Disciple is here."

"I heard that you are from the Zhang family in Kyoto?" Song Yi asked again with a gentle face.

Zhang Gaoqiu nodded: "The second son of the Zhang family in Kyoto is the seventh."

The gentleman's expression was even more enthusiastic and gentle. He talked a lot with Zhang Gaoqiu before continuing to call the roll.

"Jiang Nan!"

"The students are here."

"Shen Ling!"

"The students are here!"

……

As the gentleman left, it was soon Zhang Chen's turn:
"Zhang Chen."

Shen Ling's pupils shrank after hearing this, and her eyes were full of disbelief. How could this peasant join the academy? And she even excluded him from the academy. How did he join the academy?
Zhang Gaoqiu also looked at Zhang Chen with a look of doubt and surprise. Jiang Nan's eyes were slightly fluctuating, and Shen Qiu was also in disbelief.

"The students are here." Zhang Chen said.

Just as the teacher was about to speak, Shen Ling stood up and said, "Sir, is there a mistake? How could Zhang Chen join the academy? He is absolutely not qualified to join the academy. Is there some misunderstanding?"

Shen Ling was getting a little anxious. She had personally cut off Zhang Chen's chance of entering the academy. Now that Zhang Chen joined the academy, wasn't that a slap in her face?
Hearing Shen Ling's words, the gentleman shook his head and said, "Miss Shen, you are worrying too much. The dean himself spoke about this matter, and there is absolutely no mistake or omission."

How could he not find out the backgrounds of all the students before calling the roll when he was in the academy?
