Chapter 620 News about Chen Sanliang
Zhang Chen heard Shen Ling's harsh criticism and looked at her coldly: "I am from the Zhang family, not from your Shen family. How can the old lady of the Shen family criticize the Zhang family?"

Then he lowered his head and looked at Zhang Gaoqiu, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness: "Zhang Gaoqiu, you...tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

Zhang Chen hesitated to speak, with an expression that said 'You are a loser who only knows how to lose your temper and will never achieve anything great', and acted as if he didn't care about a useless person, then walked into the academy with a smile on his face.

"Zhang Chen!!!" Zhang Gaoqiu looked at Zhang Chen's back, his voice full of resentment, but unfortunately Zhang Chen left without looking back.

Seeing Zhang Chen walking away, Shen Ling whispered, "I don't think it was Zhang Chen who did it. How could he have such means? If he had such means, why would he come to the Shen family to get close to him?"

"My uncle is no simple man. He almost overthrew the government in Kyoto in the past. His methods are unfathomable. Who knows if he left behind any evil tricks." Zhang Gaoqiu said in an uncertain voice.

Hearing Zhang Gaoqiu's words, Shen Ling looked at Zhang Gaoqiu, who was full of anger, and decisively shut her mouth. Zhang Gaoqiu was furious at this moment, and she knew clearly what it meant to the other party after losing the power of blood.

What he lost was not only his bloodline, but also all his status and identity.

"I suddenly lost my bloodline power in the academy that day. It must be related to someone in the academy. Zhang Chen and I don't have a good relationship. This matter is most likely related to Zhang Chen." Zhang Gaoqiu's voice was full of coldness, and then he turned his head to look at Shen Ling: "Cousin, are you willing to do something for me?"

Shen Ling's expression suddenly changed when she heard this: "You're not going to ask me to continue to seduce him, are you?"

"Of course not! I am also a man, how could I do such a thing?" Zhang Gaoqiu shook his head: "I only want the Shen family..."

Zhang Gaoqiu's voice became lower and lower, and Zhang Chen had already walked into the academy. He walked all the way to the school and saw from a distance Tu Shanqing gambling with a group of powerful children with dice.

The sons of the powerful and wealthy blushed, and red light flashed around them, converging towards Tushan Qing and being absorbed by Tushan Qing.

"Master Zhang Chen, the dean wants you to come over."

Zhang Chen had just walked to the gate when he heard Chen Qi say something to him.

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this and walked towards the dean's residence. When he arrived in the yard, he saw Zhou Qiucheng in white clothes. He was holding a pair of scissors in his hands and trimming flowers and plants.

Zhang Chen walked over and bowed respectfully: "Hello, sir."

Zhou Qiucheng turned his head and glanced at Zhang Chen, then smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, get up quickly."

Zhang Chen stood up, and Zhou Qiucheng smiled and asked, "How much do you know about Zhang Gaoqiu?"

Zhang Chen looked into Zhou Qiucheng's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head: "It wasn't me!"

Zhang Chen’s answer is very interesting.

He just said that he didn't do it, but he didn't say that he didn't know what happened.

After saying this, Zhang Chen added: "Although I am a member of the Zhang family, I have not yet awakened the Zhang family bloodline! Besides, my own opportunities and luck are not small. Although the Zhang family bloodline is good, I don't look down on it."

Zhou Qiucheng nodded upon hearing this, and it was unknown whether he believed Zhang Chen's words or not. At this moment, he turned his head to change the subject: "How much do you know about Chen Sanliang? I heard people say that you have something to do with Chen Sanliang in the North?"

Zhang Chen was stunned after hearing Zhou Qiucheng's words, wondering why the other party mentioned the news about Chen Sanliang.

Zhou Qiucheng saw the astonishment in Zhang Chen's eyes, so he explained: "Chen Sanliang has swept across the Northland and entered the eleventh level! All the academies under the major vassal states in the Northland have been taken over by Chen Sanliang and have become his followers. Now Chen Sanliang has become the leader of the Confucian school in the Northland."

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this. He never thought that Chen Sanliang had such means and could really take over the entire north.

Calculating the time, it has been nearly two years since he walked from the north to Jinling, including the time spent on the way. Even if Chen Sanliang held three discussions a day, he should have swept all the academies in the north.

Moreover, as more and more powerful people joined Chen Sanliang's subordinates, his power expanded like a snowball. Many academies did not need him to take action at all, as the major forces under his command had already done it for them.

Yesterday, Tu Shanqing said that Chen Sanliang had three discussions in one day and was about to sweep the entire north. Now it seems that the other party's information is outdated.

"After Chen Sanliang unifies the north, he will soon move south after laying a solid foundation. His ambition is so great that by then, the land south of the Yangtze River will probably be the same as the north..."

Zhou Qiucheng hadn't finished his words, but the strong sense of worry in his heart could not be concealed.

Zhang Chen glanced at Zhou Qiucheng and realized that he was trying to get information about Chen Sanliang, so he shook his head and said, "Although there is some relationship between Chen Sanliang and me, it is hard to describe the relationship between us. I may not know as much about Chen Sanliang as you, the dean."

"Hey, how much do you know about Chen Sanliang's teaching without discrimination?" Zhou Qiucheng asked. Zhang Chen thought for a moment before looking at Zhou Qiucheng: "Sir, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course I want to hear the truth." Zhou Qiucheng said.

"Sir, although you are based in Jinling and in charge of the largest academy in Jiangnan, you hold an important position in Jiangnan. You are highly respected and admired by countless scholars. However, facing Chen Sanliang's principle of teaching everyone without distinction, you have absolutely no chance of winning. If I were you, I would surrender in advance." Zhang Chen replied.

Zhou Qiucheng put down the scissors in his hand, his eyes full of disbelief: "Is his avenue really that strong?"

"He is incredibly strong, and no one can contend with him, because all the creatures in the world are on his side. How can one fight against him? How can one person go against all the creatures in the world?" Zhang Chen said, his voice full of emotion.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Zhou Qiucheng's eyes were full of disbelief: "Is there really no way?"

Zhang Chen thought of the Jiejiao in the novel Fengshen. Jiejiao taught without discrimination and preached throughout the world, forcing Buddhism to shrink and absorb the earth, Chanjiao to retreat, and Renjiao to completely hide. The Jiejiao completely controlled the situation of the court. Who could compete? How to compete?

"Unless you destroy his life and kill him with absolute power instead of discussing with him, there may be a glimmer of hope." Zhang Chen said.

"Behind Chen Sanliang, there is a powerful demon of the twelfth level backing him up, and he also has an unfathomable demon ancestor as his backer. Who dares to assassinate him without following the rules? Moreover, he has already stepped into the eleventh level, and it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to kill him. He is the founder of a sect and holds the power of the sect. Even if a twelfth-level strongman takes action, I am afraid he will not be able to do anything to him." Zhou Qiucheng shook his head and rejected Zhang Chen's proposal.

Zhang Chen looked at Zhou Qiucheng. He could see Zhou Qiucheng's dilemma. He was a highly respected scholar in the Jiangnan literary world. Once Chen Sanliang came to Jiangnan from the north, he would be the first to bear the brunt and would have no way to escape.

But Zhang Chen recognized Chen Sanliang's great ideas from the bottom of his heart. He hoped that Chen Sanliang could destroy the current Confucian and Taoist order and win a glimmer of hope for the people of the world.

Zhang Chen came from a small village, so he certainly knew how difficult it was for ordinary people to study. A person who has been caught in the rain always wants to hold up an umbrella for others.

"Forget it, you go back first." Zhou Qiucheng put down the scissors in an upset state and said to Zhang Chen.

"Disciple, I'll take my leave." Zhang Chen looked at Zhou Qiucheng, bowed and stepped back.

"Zhou Qiucheng is a good person. If possible, we should keep him in Chen Sanliang's hands." Zhang Chen said to himself.

Just as all kinds of thoughts were running through Zhang Chen's mind, he saw Tu Shan Qing and Zhou Zhen walking down the mountain arm in arm.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Chen's face darkened. Others didn't know Tu Shanqing's background, but he didn't know it? Tu Shanqing was a man who would not do anything without profit. He was hanging out with Zhou Zhen at this time, so he must have set his sights on something of Zhou Zhen.

"But this kid has good social skills. He can even hook up with Zhou Zhen." A thought flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, and then he waved to Zhou Zhen. After Zhou Zhen glanced at Zhang Chen, the two of them walked towards Zhang Chen with a smile.

"Brother Zhang." Zhou Zhen greeted Zhang Chen from a distance.

"Hello, Brother Chai." Zhang Chen clasped his fists and saluted, then looked at Tu Shanqing, who was smiling. Before the other party could speak, Zhang Chen had already blocked his mouth: "I have something to discuss with Brother Zhou. Brother Chai, can you please avoid it?"

Chai Chuanxin was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Chen in surprise, but he did not continue to pester him. Instead, he smiled and said, "You guys talk, I just happen to have some things to deal with."

Looking at Chai Chuanxin's departing back, Zhang Chen turned to look at Zhou Zhen. Zhou Zhen asked curiously, "Brother Zhang, do you have anything to tell me alone?"

"Brother Zhang, you'd better stay away from Chai Chuanxin in the future. He is very dangerous!" Zhang Chen said.

"Very dangerous?" Zhou Zhen immediately became interested: "How dangerous is it?"

"It's ten times more dangerous than I imagined." Zhang Chen said.

Zhou Zhen's expression suddenly turned serious when he heard this, and then he nodded: "I'll listen to you!"

He grabbed Zhang Chen's sleeve again and said, "Let's go have a drink."

further away

As Tu Shanqing walked down the mountain, he secretly thought, "I always feel that Zhang Chen is wary of me. Shouldn't he be so wary of me? Given the relationship between him and me, he shouldn't be so wary of me, unless he has seen through my true colors!"

Chai Chuanxin paused, recalling that Zhang Chen had ruined Zhang Shicheng's plan to transform into a dragon twice, and his heart began to beat rapidly: "There is no such thing as luck in this world. He was able to ruin Zhang Shicheng's plan to transform into a dragon twice. That was not just an ordinary luck, but this kid has something."

"He was able to destroy Zhang Shicheng's transformation into a dragon, so it doesn't seem impossible that he could see through me." Tu Shanqing was secretly suspicious in his heart: "It seems that it is not a coincidence that he didn't fall into the trap I set in my words at that time."
