Chapter 715: Riot in the Academy
"You should know what I mean best. I just came out and I heard that you were getting married. How come I didn't know that I was getting married? You are my fiancée, and I didn't even know that I was getting married. Isn't that weird?" Shen Qiu's words were aggressive.

"Who said I'm your fiancée?" Jiang Nan smiled coldly.

"Aren't you my fiancée?" Shen Qiu asked.

"Your mother was against this marriage at first. You can't hide it from me even if you want to." Jiang Nan smiled coldly, "Besides, your mother called me in person to oppose our marriage and criticized me in various ways. Although you and I had made a solemn vow, didn't your mother disagree? I can't waste my youth waiting for your mother to change her mind. You should know who I am, Jiang Nan. I also have my own pride."

After hearing Jiang Nan's words, Shen Qiu was so blocked that he felt like a horn without power. He looked at Jiang Nan in front of him, but he was speechless.

"Are all the vows we made to each other now invalid?" Shen Qiu looked at Jiang Nan, his eyes full of grievance, tears flickering in his eyes.

"It's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore. You and I should keep our distance from each other in the future, so as not to let Senior Brother misunderstand." Jiang Nan said this and turned to leave, but Shen Qiu's figure flashed, as if he had teleported, and directly blocked Jiang Nan's way: "Jiang Nan, are you kidding me? Before coming to the academy, we were still enjoying each other's company, how come everything has changed in just a few months since I entered?"

"Nothing in the world is static. For me, the most important thing is revenge! I want to destroy Huang Tiandao and avenge my blood feud. Love between men and women is nothing but a passing cloud to me. Don't get entangled with us, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. By then, we won't even be brother and sister!" After Jiang Nan finished speaking, he walked around Shen Qiu and continued to walk away.

"You are the only one in my life. How can I live if you leave?" Shen Qiu's voice was full of despair.

"If you can't live, then just die." Jiang Nan snorted coldly.

Hearing Jiang Nan's words, Zhang Chen, who was far away in the Linglong Tower, trembled his ears and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "This woman is really cruel! In the past, the Shen family was powerful, so she went to join the Shen family and set her sights on Shen Qiu. Now that Shen Qiu is no longer capable, she directly and ruthlessly abandoned Shen Qiu and set her sights on Zhou Zhen..."

Zhang Chen took a deep breath and felt that a woman like Jiang Nan was even more terrifying. She said she was seeking revenge for her family, but when her father was alive, didn't she still use her scheming and skills to seduce Shen Qiu?
"This kind of woman doesn't care about her own shame, reputation and innocence. The only thing she cares about is whether she can climb up. I wouldn't want this kind of woman even if she beats me to death." Zhang Chen was shocked by Jiang Nan's ruthlessness, and he felt that it was the best choice for him to draw a clear line between himself and Jiang Nan as soon as possible.

As the sky gradually darkened, Zhang Chen returned to his home at the foot of the mountain. Thinking about what happened during the day, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart: "Women are hard to understand!"

Zhang Chen placed the Soul-Binding Lamp, and then added Yellow Spring Water. Looking at the glowing Soul-Binding Lamp, he thought that this might be his only chance to resolve Zhou Qiucheng's crisis.

The next day, Zhang Chen came to the academy and continued to comprehend the rules of the Linglong Tower. He saw Zhou Zhen standing in front of the wall, so he walked up to him and asked, "How are you and Jiang Nan?"

Zhou Zhen shook his head and said nothing, seeming a little silent.

"The master summoned me last night and asked me to persuade you more." Zhang Chen said.

Hearing this, Zhou Zhen smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I don't know why, but I always feel upset after seeing Jiang Nan. There is a voice in my heart, urging me to leave her quickly, the farther away from her the better. But..." Zhou Zhen paused here, and was about to continue, when suddenly a heart-wrenching shout came from the outside world:

"Brother Zhou, I beg you, please return Jiang Nan to me!"

The voice was very loud, attracting the attention of countless people in this quiet academy. The surrounding scholars looked over and saw Shen Qiu kneeling in front of the Linglong Tower with a haggard face and a messy figure. He kept kowtowing to the gate of the Linglong Tower, and kept shouting while kowtowing: "Brother Zhou, I beg you, for the sake of our past relationship, please return Jiang Nan to me. Jiang Nan and I are in love, and we have already made a private commitment to each other at the foot of the mountain. As the eldest brother of the academy, you can't steal my love."

Zhou Zhen's voice was very loud and sounded like crying, which immediately attracted countless scholars to come forward to watch the show.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen also prepared to eat melons. He looked at Zhou Zhen and saw that Zhou Zhen's face suddenly became ugly. Then he walked out of Linglong Tower quickly, looked at Shen Qiu who was kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Junior Brother Shen, what are you doing?"

"Brother Zhou, please, give Jiang Nan back to me. I will kowtow to you!" Shen Qiu knelt on the ground and refused to get up, kowtowing to Zhou Zhen repeatedly.

Seeing more and more disciples gathering around, Zhou Zhen's face became more and more unpleasant: "Junior Brother Shen, if you have anything to say, let's talk it out. Why do you have to do this? How can you ask everyone to watch the fun?"

"Brother Zhou, I have no choice. I have nothing left. The only hope for my survival is Jiang Nan. If Jiang Nan leaves me, what is the point of my living? I might as well just crash into the Linglong Tower and die." Shen Qiu's voice was full of sorrow and his words were very extreme. "Brother Shen, if there is anything, let's discuss it in private. Why are you like this now?" Zhou Zhen wanted to pull Shen Qiu to a deserted place to deal with him first.

But Shen Qiu refused. He just cried to himself, his voice full of despair and depression: "Brother Zhou, I beg you, please give Jiang Nan back to me! Please, I have no relatives anymore. Jiang Nan is my only relative. I can't live without her."

Hearing Shen Qiu's cry, Zhou Zhen was completely paralyzed: "Shen Qiu, Jiang Nan is a living person, not a decorative object. How can you use the word 'still'? She is a living person with her own choices. Who can influence her thoughts? If she firmly chooses you, who can force her not to choose you?"

Hearing Zhou Qiucheng's words, Shen Qiu raised his head and revealed his scarlet eyes: "Junior Sister Jiang Nan and I made a vow of love at the foot of the mountain, but how come she suddenly changed her mind and wanted to marry Senior Brother when we got to the mountain? Isn't someone forcing her?"

"What do you mean? Are you saying that I am forcing her?" Zhou Zhen's face suddenly turned serious when he heard that.

"It's possible! The Shen family is now in a state of disaster and no longer as glorious as it was in the past. Anyone can bully our Shen family now. If someone takes a fancy to cousin Jiang Nan and wants to take her away, it's not impossible! I can only blame myself for being a loser who can't even keep the woman I love." Shen Qiu knelt on the ground with a weak demeanor.

Zhou Zhen was so angry that he couldn't speak, but he shouted to the crowd: "Please ask Junior Sister Jiang Nan to come over and see if Junior Sister Jiang Nan was coerced by me."

Someone went to invite Jiang Nan, and soon Jiang Nan came running over angrily. Seeing Shen Qiu kneeling on the ground and listening to him begging to "give my sister back to me", Jiang Nan was so angry that his eyes turned red. Tears could not help but fall from his eyes. He hurriedly stepped forward and scolded Shen Qiu: "Shen Qiu, you bastard, what are you doing here? Marrying Senior Brother Zhou is my own choice, how dare you spread rumors and talk nonsense here?"

"Shen Qiu, please let me go! Your mother doesn't agree with us being together, why are you still pestering me here? Please let me go!" Jiang Nan's legs softened, and he knelt down in front of Shen Qiu and kowtowed: "I beg you, please let me go, don't pester me anymore!"

"Jiang Nan, are you really willing? You are just saying that in anger, right? Now that the Shen family is gone, no one can stop us from being together..." Shen Qiu kept begging for mercy.

"Shut up!" Jiang Nan interrupted Shen Qiu by waving his hand. "It's impossible for you and me to be together. Even if I die, it's impossible! If you stop pestering me now, I can still give you some face and we can still be relatives in the future. If you don't want to be decent, we will end our friendship in the future. If you dare to continue to ruin my reputation, don't blame me for being merciless."

In the crowd

Zhang Chen held melon seeds in his hand and looked at Shen Qiu and Jiang Nan, with a look of amazement in his eyes: "This woman is amazing! She insisted that Shen Qiu's mother didn't agree to the marriage, and didn't even mention that they were still in love after entering the academy. Shen Qiu is screwed this time."

Seeing Shen Qiu kneeling there stupidly, like a clown, Zhang Chen couldn't bear to watch any longer and walked straight down the mountain.

At this point he had to admit that Jiang Nan did have some means.

After returning home, Zhang Chen recalled the scene in the mountains today. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes: "It's difficult. Shen Qiu is afraid that he has no face to stay in the mountains!"

The next day, Zhang Chen came to the academy again. His ears trembled slightly, and countless voices came into his ears. He listened to people talking and saw that Shen Qiu had gone down the mountain last night.

Before Zhang Chen arrived at the gate of Linglong Tower, he was stopped by Zhou Zhen, who pulled him into a secluded courtyard, opened a jar of wine and handed it to Zhang Chen: "Come, drink with me!"

"Brother, why are you drinking alone?" Zhang Chen asked.

Zhou Zhen gave a bitter smile: "I've really embarrassed myself this time! Shouldn't I drink alcohol?"

Zhang Chen glanced at Zhou Zhen, looking at his red eyes, he knew that he was upset about what happened yesterday evening.
