Chapter 686 Delay strategy
Jiang Nan's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked over at him eagerly.

"It's going to be a good show." Tu Shanqing whispered beside Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen glanced at Tu Shan Qing, and there was no gloating expression on his face, because he thought of Old Madam Shen, the recipe of the Eight Treasures Locking Heart Pill, and Old Madam Shen's instructions.

"Jiang Nan, do you know what you are doing? How dare you meddle in my business?" Zhang Gaoqiu glared at Jiang Nan. Facing the vague gazes from the people around him, Zhang Gaoqiu felt as if he had been skinned alive, with his dirty plot exposed in broad daylight.

"You have to give Shen Ling an explanation!" Jiang Nan's eyes were full of stubbornness.

"Pa~" Zhang Gaoqiu slapped Jiang Nan in the face, and he fell to the ground without time to dodge. He felt dizzy, blood flowed from his mouth, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Facing the pointing eyes of the crowd, the little princess Chai Wenji's face suddenly turned cold. She suddenly shook off Zhang Gaoqiu's hand, stood up and walked out the door. Only cold words lingered in Zhang Gaoqiu's ears: "This is the last chance! Take care of your business!"

Zhang Gaoqiu looked at Chai Wenji who was walking away, and then looked at Jiang Nan who was dizzy and had stars in his eyes, with a cold look in his eyes: "Bitch, what qualifications do you have to mind my business?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his foot and kicked towards Jiang Nan's head. Jiang Nan felt dizzy and his body was out of control. How could he have the strength to dodge?
The foot suddenly exploded, Jiang Nan flew out, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground twitching.

Zhang Chen just stood in the distance and watched coldly. Although he and Jiang Nan had a close relationship, the fate between them had been broken. The other party looked down on him, so how could Zhang Chen be a hero to save the beauty?

He is not a fool!

As for physical intimacy? Would Zhang Chen care? In his previous life, he had slept with countless women, hooked up with countless women, and had sex with countless prostitutes. Did he have to be responsible for all of them?
Since I gave him the place in the academy, the favor has been repaid.

Although Zhang Gaoqiu's bloodline power was destroyed, his martial arts skills were still not bad. He had already cultivated the hidden power, which was definitely not something a weak woman like Jiang Nan could resist.

"Wen Ji..." Zhang Gaoqiu didn't have time to argue with Jiang Nan, so he quickly chased after her. However, when he reached the gate of Linglong Tower, he saw Shen Qiu blocking his way.

Zhang Gaoqiu paused and looked at Shen Qiu with a gloomy expression.

"Zhang Gaoqiu, you have to give an explanation to my sister! Give an explanation to my Shen family!" Shen Qiu's eyes were filled with anger, and his palm pressed on his sword.

The moment he saw Shen Qiu, Zhang Gaoqiu couldn't help but pause. Shen Qiu was a bloodline person. Although he had cultivated dark energy, he had absolutely no power to fight back against Shen Qiu.

"My sister gave her body to you, and for you she even persuaded me to give you the place in the inner courtyard of the academy. Although you are from the Zhang family in Shangjing, if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, I will never let you go! The Shen family is now destroyed. Do you think you can bully my Shen family at will? Even if I die here today, I will seek justice for my sister!" Shen Qiu's voice was very cold, so cold that there was no temperature at all. All the rain turned into ice chips and fell on the ground the moment it approached three feet around him.

Looking at the ice chips falling to the ground, Zhang Gaoqiu was very panicked. Now that he had lost the power of his bloodline, he was just an ordinary person. How could he compete with those with bloodline?
Once he is caught by Shen Qiu, everyone will see that something is wrong with him and he will be dead. The little princess will be the first one who will not let him go.

“I must find another strange thing to carry with me as soon as possible! Or I can just make the little princess pregnant, and then she will give birth to my child. It will be a fait accompli, and then there will be no room for regrets since the little princess is on board.” Zhang Gaoqiu felt a little overwhelmed. God knew why his bloodline power was suddenly gone, and even his Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Slaying Shuttle was gone.

Therefore, the most important thing for him at this moment is to stabilize Shen Qiu and never let Shen Qiu take action.

"Shen Qiu! The relationship between you, Shen Ling, and I is definitely not as simple as outsiders think." Zhang Gaoqiu looked at Shen Qiu opposite him, his voice softened, and his attitude was very sincere: "This is a matter between me and your sister, let us solve it ourselves! Give me seven days, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Seven days?" Shen Qiu asked.

"Just seven days! I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!" said Zhang Gaoqiu.

Shen Qiu stared at Zhang Gaoqiu with his eyes fixed, his fingers tightly clenched on the sword in his hand. No matter how many thoughts ran through his mind, he finally chose to endure it.

Because the message conveyed by Zhang Gaoqiu's words gave him a feeling: Zhang Gaoqiu and Shen Ling still had room for turnaround.

He knew how deeply Shen Ling loved Zhang Gaoqiu, and he didn't mind giving in if it could give the two of them a good future.

So Shen Qiu made way: "I will wait for you for seven days! If you don't give my sister an explanation after seven days, then we will die together."

Zhang Gaoqiu glanced at Shen Qiu and couldn't help but frown: "The Shen brothers and sisters have really become a big trouble for me."

Zhang Gaoqiu walked forward and patted Shen Qiu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory answer in seven days."

After stabilizing Shen Qiu, Zhang Gaoqiu held up an oil-paper umbrella and quickly disappeared into the rain, leaving everyone standing in the rain whispering.

Zhang Chen and Tu Shanqing were walking on the mountain road. Tu Shanqing was holding an oil-paper umbrella. He looked at the jade beads sliding down the edge of the umbrella and said, "This time there will be a good show to watch! Zhang Gaoqiu and the Shen family siblings are in another big fight."

Zhang Chen remained silent and walked expressionlessly along the mountain road, holding an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and stroking the recipe of the Eight Treasures Locking Heart Pill with the other hand.

"If this matter is not handled properly, the Zhang family in Kyoto and the Dasheng royal family will lose face." Tu Shanqing said.

"Maybe!" Zhang Chen replied.

"Jiang Nan is unlucky. I think her teeth have fallen out. Zhang Gaoqiu really pissed her off." Tu Shanqing said. "Although Jiang Nan is a snob, she still has some humanity and loyalty." Zhang Chen replied. He didn't blame Jiang Nan for looking down on him. Everyone wants to climb up and try their best to run towards a better life. Everyone has the right to choose.

But when asked to help Jiang Nan, he refused.

Zhang Chen returned to the courtyard. The three little ones were meditating and practicing. Zhang Chen sat in front of the lamp, feeling a little uneasy, thinking about the recipe of the Eight Treasures Locking Heart Pill.

When it was completely dark, Zhou Qiucheng's steward Chen Qi came to Zhang Chen's door.

"Mr. Zhang, there is someone at the foot of the mountain who wants to meet you." Chen Qi, with moisture on his body, bowed respectfully to Zhang Chen.

"Who wants to see me?" Zhang Chen put away the recipe of the Eight Treasures Locking Heart Pill and looked at Chen Qi in surprise. He didn't have any acquaintances in Jinling City.

"The eldest lady of the Shen family, Wang Xifeng!" Chen Qi said.

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this. He sat in front of the lamp in silence. After a while, he said, "I understand."

Chen Qi retreated, Zhang Chen stood in the room and pondered for a moment, then walked into the rain. The next moment he activated the water escape technique and disappeared without a trace.

When Zhang Chen appeared at the foot of the mountain again, he saw Wang Xifeng, wearing a straw raincoat and holding an oil-paper umbrella, standing in the heavy rain with a pale face.

The rain twisted and Zhang Chen appeared, holding an oil-paper umbrella and coming behind Wang Xifeng:

"What are you looking for from me?"

The voice reached Wang Xifeng's ears through the rain. Wang Xifeng turned her head to look at the young man in the rain, and suddenly pursed her lips and remained silent.

Zhang Chen looked at Wang Xifeng, the former grandmother of the Shen family. She was still wearing luxurious clothes and seemed to be unaffected.

Come to think of it, the Wang family is the number one lackey under Huang Tiandao. Although the Shen family has been destroyed, Wang Xifeng is the eldest daughter of the Wang family. Although she is a married eldest daughter, she is also the true direct descendant of the Wang family. To this day, her father is still the one in power in the Wang family.

"The Shen family was wiped out!" Wang Xifeng said with a pale face.

"I know!" Zhang Chen replied.

"I am still able to survive because of the protection of the Wang family." Wang Xifeng said.

"And then?" Zhang Chen asked back.

"I heard about what happened to Shen Ling in the mountains. Now that the Shen family is destroyed, everyone thinks they can step on the Shen family's heads." Wang Xifeng seemed not to hear Zhang Chen's words, and just said what she wanted to say.

Zhang Chen looked at Wang Xifeng, wondering what this woman was up to.

"I want Zhang Gaoqiu to die! He must die without a burial place!" Wang Xifeng looked at Zhang Chen: "Kill him for me!"

"You are dreaming! Why should I help you?" Zhang Chen snorted coldly.

"You will do it!" Wang Xifeng stretched out her arms from under the straw raincoat, exposing her white arms to the rain.

The wrist was as white as snow and the skin was as white as cream, but when Zhang Chen saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat and a bad premonition came to his mind.

"What? You don't dare to hold my wrist?" Wang Xifeng looked at Zhang Chen coldly.

Zhang Chen's mind was full of thoughts, and he finally reached out and held Wang Xifeng's wrist. The next moment, Zhang Chen's expression became even uglier, and his eyes looked at Wang Xifeng's abdomen, and he felt as if struck by lightning.

Looking at Zhang Chen standing there stupidly, Wang Xifeng slowly withdrew her hand and looked at Zhang Chen with a pair of eyes: "It's your child!"

Of course Zhang Chen knew it was his, because the moment he held Wang Xifeng's skin, he already felt a trace of blood connection.

He masters the great way of blood, how could such a thing be hidden from him?

Zhang Chen felt his head buzzing at this moment, his eyes full of disbelief. How could such a thing be possible?

"What do you want to express!" The cold rain fell on Zhang Chen's wrist. Zhang Chen gradually regained his composure, staring at Wang Xifeng with his eyes, his voice full of coldness.

"I want Zhang Gaoqiu to die!" Wang Xifeng repeated her words again.
