I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 643 Decision
When the time came, Jiang Nan didn't tell anyone about Zhang Gaoqiu and the little princess.

At this time, Zhang Gaoqiu was also in a dilemma. He stood alone in the pavilion, looking at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance without saying a word.

"If I propose to dissolve my marriage with Shen Ling now, and then the news of Shen Ling's pregnancy is exposed, the Shen family will not forgive me. The Shen family is suffering from a disaster and is in a trapped situation. If I dare to speak out at this time, I will definitely be killed as the first bird to stand out. You must know that the Shen family is in a precarious situation now, and there are undercurrents in Jinling City. It is time to establish authority." Zhang Gaoqiu couldn't help feeling:

"The Shen family has reached such a state that they no longer care about the ties of kinship, nor will they care about the Zhang family in Kyoto behind me. If I run into the gunpoint of the Shen family, I'm afraid I'll die without a burial place."

"But the little princess is pushing too hard! It's difficult! It's difficult!" Zhang Gaoqiu was extremely confused for a moment.

"It's better to wait until the affairs of the Shen family are settled. By then, Shen Ling will be alone, and it will be much easier for me to deal with her. Or I can simply use the power of Huang Tiandao and the White Lotus Sect to bury Shen Ling in this disaster. As for the fact that Shen Ling is pregnant with my blood... I can't even take care of myself now, so how can I have the energy to care about my bloodline descendants." Zhang Gaoqiu's thoughts raced in his mind, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he gradually made up his mind.

"Of course, there is another safest way, which is to ask Zhang Chen and Shen Ling to reconcile. If this plan succeeds, I can not only get rid of all the troubles, but also preserve my reputation and not leave any hidden dangers for myself. If I want to marry a princess of the royal family, my reputation cannot have any flaws."

One day without incident

Zhang Chen finished school and was about to leave when he was stopped by Zhang Gaoqiu.

"Zhang Chen!" Zhang Gaoqiu shouted at Zhang Chen's back.

Zhang Chen turned his head to look at Zhang Gaoqiu, only to see Zhang Gaoqiu walking up to him with his hands behind his back: "I have decided to return Shen Ling to you!"

Zhang Gaoqiu's words sounded lofty, as if they came from a gift from the king.

"Shen Ling is a good girl. You must cherish her in the future." Zhang Gaoqiu said, "We are brothers. The engagement between Shen Ling and you was left by your mother. How can I interfere? These days, I have been condemned by my conscience day and night."

Jiang Nan, who was walking towards the door from a distance, couldn't help but change his expression after hearing Shen Qiu's words, and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.

Zhang Chen turned his head to look at Zhang Gaoqiu, shook his head at him without saying anything, then turned around and disappeared at the door.

How could Zhang Chen accept such a junk?

Could it be that Zhang Chen can’t find a wife?
"What does this kid mean?" Zhang Gaoqiu looked at Zhang Chen's receding back, his brows gradually furrowed.

"Are you trying to get rid of all the troubles by pushing Shen Ling to that little savage?" The little princess Chai Wenji came over, her voice full of praise: "This is indeed a good idea."

"It's just that this kid seems unwilling to cooperate." Zhang Gaoqiu said.

"He refuses to cooperate because the price we offer is not enough." Chai Wenji said, "As long as we offer enough, we won't be afraid that he won't agree. He is a wild man living in the north, and he has a wanted order from the court. How can he refuse us?"

Zhang Gaoqiu nodded upon hearing this: "Let's go! Let's get that guy out first, or we won't lose track of him if he runs away."

Zhang Chen had just walked out of Linglong Tower when Zhang Gaoqiu chased him out: "Zhang Chen, I have something to tell you tonight. I have booked a table at Yipinlou."

Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Gaoqiu coldly, his eyes full of confusion: I will go just because you invite me?
"I think you should go, otherwise once your identity issue is entangled with the government, and now the dean is trapped by Zhang Xiaohua, no one can help you." The little princess Chai Wenji walked out slowly, her voice filled with a hint of threat.

Zhang Chen stopped talking after hearing this. He just looked at the little princess and sighed faintly: "Then I will be there on time later."

Since the other party mentioned his identity, he had to go there in person no matter what.

After saying this, Zhang Chen walked away. Zhang Gaoqiu looked at Zhang Chen's back with a sneer on his face. "With this leverage, we don't have to worry about him not yielding."

The reason why he did not use this handle before was, firstly, because the Shen family was still strong. As long as the Shen family remained strong, no one in Jinling City could touch Zhang Chen.

The Shen family is currently unable to take care of themselves. If the little princess steps in, the officials in Jinling City, unless they are fools, will definitely know what to choose at that time.

Now the president of Chongzheng Academy, Zhou Qiucheng, is also imprisoned. If the government wants to arrest Zhang Chen and his family, who can stand up for him?

"This guy is really despicable." Tu Shan Qing followed and walked behind Zhang Chen, cursing.

Tu Shanqing saw the previous scene, and with his intelligence he could certainly tell what the other party wanted to do.

"It's really troublesome. He wants to push Shen Ling out and solve all the problems perfectly without leaving any loopholes for others to blame. And I am the best choice." Zhang Chen also cursed: "This kid is very ruthless."

"He invited you to Yipinlou today. He must want to use your identity to threaten you and ask you to hook up with Shen Ling." Tu Shanqing helped Zhang Chen analyze.

Zhang Chen remained silent. Tu Shanqing stepped forward and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I don't know what to do, but I will never agree to seduce Shen Ling." Zhang Chen said. "Why not invite Shen Ling secretly and let her hide next door to see Zhang Gaoqiu's true face? Then we can withdraw from the matter and watch the show." Tu Shanqing said with a smile: "Once Shen Ling makes a fuss, the Shen family will definitely not let Zhang Gaoqiu go. Now the Shen family is trapped. He dares to bully the daughter of the Shen family. He may even grind Zhang Gaoqiu to ashes."

"Shen Ling cannot be involved. My business is my business, and Shen Ling's business is Shen Ling's business. I don't want to have anything to do with Shen Ling, including helping Shen Ling recognize the truth." Zhang Chen said.

Help Shen Ling to recognize the truth? What a joke! He is not a living Buddha, there is no reason for him to help Shen Ling.

"But if you want to avoid the threat from Zhang Gaoqiu, there is only one way. Only by making Shen Ling and Zhang Gaoqiu quarrel can you make Zhang Gaoqiu feel unpopular both inside and outside." Tu Shanqing said.

Zhang Chen remained silent and just kept on going.

Tu Shanqing cursed at the side and said, "I just can't understand why the little princess wanted to marry Zhang Gaoqiu even though she knew that he was a scumbag."

"Political marriage!" Zhang Chen said.

Zhang Chen could understand the situation that Tushan Qing could not understand. If the little princess could use the spiritual world as a weapon, it would definitely give the current prince a lot of bargaining chips.

"Actually, there is another way. It would be great if someone could seduce the little princess. Then Zhang Gaoqiu would be left without a tiger skin, and wouldn't he be at our mercy?" Tu Shanqing sighed softly.

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he turned to look at Tu Shanqing. Those bright eyes made Tu Shanqing shudder: "Why are you looking at me?"

"Go and seduce Chai Wenji." Zhang Chen said.

"If I had that ability, would you tell me?" Tu Shanqing said with a droopy face: "People look down on me."

"Then there's nothing we can do. We can only deal with it as it happens." Zhang Chen muttered.

Then the two of them parted ways. Zhang Chen returned to his own yard and saw an alchemy furnace in the yard. Zhang was sitting under the eaves and chatting with the fox fairy Nannan.

Seeing Zhang Chen coming in, Zhang said, "Boss, this girl is looking for you and brought you an alchemy furnace."

Then he said to the fox fairy Nannan, "You guys chat," and walked into the house.

Fox Fairy Nannan came to Zhang Chen and said proudly, "How about this alchemy furnace?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chen looked at the alchemy furnace and saw that it was two meters high and about three meters in diameter. There were traces of smoke and fire on it, and it was obviously quite old.

"Where did you get the alchemy furnace?" Zhang Chen asked as he looked at the alchemy furnace.

"Haha, don't worry about where the alchemy furnace came from, just use it with confidence." Fox Fairy Nannan came forward: "But if you refine the elixir, you can't miss out on my benefits."

"I understand." Zhang Chen said.

Zhang Chen sat in the yard, took out the Ascension Pool, and began to continuously stimulate the growth of medicinal herbs.

Seeing the medicinal herbs growing out of Zhang Chen's furnace like leeks, the fox fairy Nannan widened her eyes, her eyes full of disbelief: "What a trick! What kind of trick is this? How come the seeds suddenly sprouted and grew so quickly?"

"This is my secret technique." Zhang Chen was unwilling to tell the fox fairy Nannan the secret.

Seeing this, the fox fairy Nannan pouted and walked aside unhappily: "Stingy, men can't be too stingy."

Zhang Chen heard the fox fairy Nannan's muttering and looked at the fox spirit. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind: "This fox spirit is insidious, cunning, despicable and shameless. Why don't I ask her for a way out? See how she breaks the deadlock?"

"I want to ask you a question. If you can answer it well, I can refine the pills and give you a few more." Zhang Chen looked at the fox fairy Nannan.

"What's the matter?" When the fox fairy Nannan heard that she could get more pills, her eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly came forward to ask.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen told him about the troubles he had encountered today.

Upon hearing this, the fox fairy Nannan gnashed her teeth in anger: "How shameless! Zhang Gaoqiu really deserves to be torn into pieces! Only you humans can be such treacherous and shameless people."

Zhang Chen ignored Fox Fairy Nannan's map cannon and urged, "Is there any way to break the deadlock?"

"A way to break the impasse?" The fox fairy Nannan put her hands behind her back and paced back and forth in the yard: "Actually, it's simple. Can't we just knock Zhang Gaoqiu unconscious and make him faint for a while?"
