Listening to Chai Chuanxin and Zhang Gaoqiu's words, Zhang Chen realized that they were unaware of the Gambling Fox's abilities and had unknowingly fallen into its linguistic traps. A thought arose in his mind: "Zhang Gaoqiu is finished!"
Zhang Gaoqiu is done for—he said it himself! Even Jesus couldn't save him!
At this moment, the Gambling Fox turned to look at Zhang Chen, a hint of surprise and uncertainty in its eyes: "Could this kid have seen through my tricks? He actually perfectly avoided my linguistic traps?"
"I need to get closer to this kid; he's simply a walking treasure trove!" Chai Chuanxin stared at Zhang Chen. Although Zhang Chen had the power of reincarnation to conceal his aura, under Chai Chuanxin's gambling power, Zhang Chen's body was surrounded by dazzling divine light. The divine light was vast and mighty, enveloping the ten directions of the world, and the brilliance of the treasure light was unprecedented, even stronger than that of a twelfth-order god.
Each ray of treasure light represented a divine power or treasure, making Chai Chuanxin's heart tremble and a look of horror appear in his eyes.
It wasn't that he hadn't seen strong people or treasures, but the treasure light on Zhang Chen's body was simply too exaggerated.
"Those few rays of light should be twelfth-order treasures, right? Any twelfth-order mystery in the world is priceless, and ordinary strong people have never even seen them, but this kid actually has several? Could this kid be the illegitimate son of the heavens?" The Gambling Fox's eyes were full of greed and shock.
Of course, the treasure light it saw wasn't actually leaking from Zhang Chen's body; it was just that under its gambling rules, countless chips that could be used for betting were evolving on Zhang Chen's body, and the Gambling Fox was only judging what kind of means Zhang Chen possessed based on those chips.
"I must befriend this kid! No one can stop me! Not even the King of Heaven himself!" The Gambling Fox was shocked: "This kid is pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger; he's definitely a big shot among big shots. There's absolutely no harm in befriending him. Of course, if I could take the opportunity to swindle a twelfth-order mystery, that would be even better."
The storm temporarily subsided, and the Gambling Fox turned to look at Zhang Chen, its voice full of warmth: "How should I address this brother?"
Zhang Chen glanced at Chai Chuanxin: "Have you forgotten? We've met before. You really are a noble who forgets things easily."
Of course, the Gambling Fox had never met Zhang Chen; it had only been ambushed by Zhang Chen a few times. But Zhang Chen and Chai Chuanxin were acquaintances; they had both apprenticed together, one under Han Suzhen and the other under Chen Sanliang.
Tu Shanqing was stunned upon hearing this and quickly browsed through the memories of the original body. In the next moment, his expression changed, and he cursed inwardly: "Damn it, Chai Chuanxin, you actually dare to ruin my plans and delay my recognition of a foster father!"
Now that he knew the cause and effect between Zhang Chen and Chen Sanliang and Chai Chuanxin, Tu Shanqing's eyes darted around, revealing a look of helplessness: "If you count it, we can be considered brothers. The reason why I betrayed my teacher in the first place was also a last resort. Unfortunately, everything has already happened, and none of this was my intention."
Zhang Chen turned to look at the Gambling Fox upon hearing this, thoughts flashing in his mind: "Why is this guy explaining to me? And deliberately trying to get closer to me? Could it be that he's set his sights on me? Could this grandson have seen something?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen's attitude changed, and he decided to first cooperate with this fox and see what tricks it wanted to play.
Seeing Zhang Chen staring at him without saying a word, Chai Chuanxin braced himself and said: "People in the Jianghu can't help themselves; there are many things that I can only sigh helplessly about."
Saying this, Tu Shanqing said: "To be honest, I had already secretly sent a letter to the teacher, apologizing to the teacher. The teacher has already forgiven me and asked me to go undercover in the human world."
Now that Chen Sanliang was in the demon race, wasn't it very simple for him to want Chen Sanliang's attitude?
Moreover, Chen Sanliang was in charge of the entire demon race, so of course he already knew his identity.
Saying this, fearing that Zhang Chen wouldn't believe him, Tu Shanqing took out a secret letter from his sleeve: "This secret letter was written to me by the teacher, asking me to be sure to find out the situation in Jinling and take the opportunity to investigate the details of Chongzheng Academy, in preparation for the teacher's Dao discussion."
Zhang Chen was shocked upon hearing this: "Chen Sanliang is targeting Chongzheng Academy? He really doesn't fight unprepared battles; he had already sent undercover agents to various academies long ago. It seems that Chen Sanliang's unstoppable momentum in the human race's major academies before was not absolute crushing and luck, but rather he had already made preparations."
Zhang Chen took the letter from Tu Shanqing, opened it, and saw that it was indeed written by Chen Sanliang himself, and it also had Chen Sanliang's aura on it, so it couldn't be fake.
"Chen Sanliang has such great ambition that he has set his sights on Chongzheng Academy. Chongzheng Academy is second only to the academy in the world, and Chen Sanliang's ambition and courage are getting bigger and bigger." Zhang Chen's gaze swept over the handwriting on the letter, which did indeed contain Chen Sanliang's instructions to Tu Shanqing to investigate the details of Chongzheng Academy.
Tu Shanqing was staring at Zhang Chen's face at this time, observing Zhang Chen's reaction. Logically speaking, this secret letter was top secret, and he couldn't show it to Zhang Chen, but he couldn't bear to miss such a great opportunity when he looked at the mysterious chips surrounding Zhang Chen.
Moreover, everyone in the demon race with some status had heard of the relationship between Zhang Chen and Chen Sanliang, so using Chen Sanliang to build a relationship with Zhang Chen and lower Zhang Chen's guard was one of the most effective ways.
Zhang Chen put away the letter and then returned it to Tu Shanqing: "So that's the reason! Since the teacher has forgiven you, I naturally won't pursue it further."
Tu Shanqing was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly echoed: "That's right, that's right. We two are in this unfamiliar place, so we have to take care of 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 wanted to do, so he responded: "That's right. You and I will have to take care of each other more in the future."
At this time, the people in the room looked at each other, their eyes constantly wandering between Zhang Chen and the Shen family's camp, revealing a look of watching the show.
Before long, a middle-aged teacher walked in, holding a roster in his hand. Everyone stood up and saluted: "Greetings, teacher."
The teacher nodded: "Sit down, everyone!"
Everyone sat down, and then the teacher opened the roster and said: "I am the teacher of Class A: Song Yi. Let's call the roll first so everyone can get to know each other."
Teacher Song Yi looked at the roster in his hand and began to call the names one by one. At this time, Shen Ling glanced at Zhang Chen, her eyes full of coldness, revealing a look that said, 'Just wait to be embarrassed. The Shen family will never save you.'
Faced with Shen Ling's mocking gaze, Zhang Chen sat there calmly, not moving at all, as if her every move had no effect on him.
"Chai Chuanxin."
"Disciple is here." Chai Chuanxin quickly stood up.
Teacher Song Yi glanced at him, then nodded and signaled him to sit down, and continued to call the next name:
"Zhang Xiaohua."
Zhang Xiaohua also stood up respectfully at this time: "Student is here."
In this world, people who can learn to read and write and become teachers at Chongzheng Academy are definitely not ordinary people; they are nobles themselves. Moreover, the current world emphasizes respecting teachers and valuing the Dao, so even though Zhang Xiaohua is a little prince, he doesn't dare to be rude to the teacher, lest it spread and ruin his reputation.
If the Pingbian Wangfu wants to sweep the world, it must recruit talents and gather all kinds of famous people in the world. He doesn't dare to be arrogant, lest it ruin the big plan.
"Is the Little Prince still used to living in Jinling?" The teacher didn't continue calling names, but asked.
Zhang Xiaohua nodded: "I have lived in the north for many years, and the weather in Jinling is a bit stuffy, so I'm still not used to it."
Hearing Zhang Xiaohua's words, the teacher said: "I'll send some ice cubes to the heir later to help him relieve the heat."
Zhang Chen glanced at Song Yi. This guy's differential treatment was too obvious. His abacus for clinging to the Pingbian Wangfu directly hit Zhang Chen in the face.
Then Song Yi continued to call the 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 with a warm face.
Zhang Gaoqiu nodded: "The seventh child of the direct line of the Zhang family in Kyoto."
The teacher's expression became even more eager and gentle, and he talked to Zhang Gaoqiu for a long time before continuing to call the names.
"Jiang Nan!"
"Student is here."
"Shen Ling!"
"Student is here!"
……
As the teacher continued to call the names, it soon came to Zhang Chen:
"Zhang Chen."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ling's pupils shrank, her eyes full of disbelief. Why would this mud leg join the academy? Moreover, she had personally excluded him, so how did he join the academy?
Zhang Gaoqiu also looked at Zhang Chen with a surprised expression. Jiang Nan's eyes flickered slightly, and Shen Qiu also couldn't believe it.
"Student is here," Zhang Chen said.
Just as the teacher was about to speak, Shen Ling stood up: "Teacher, isn't there a mistake? How could Zhang Chen join the academy? He is absolutely not qualified to join the academy. Isn't there some misunderstanding?"
Shen Ling was a little anxious. She had personally cut off Zhang Chen's chance to enter the academy, and now that Zhang Chen had joined the academy, wasn't it slapping her in the face?
Hearing Shen Ling's words, the teacher shook his head: "Miss Shen is overthinking it. The dean personally spoke about this matter, and there is absolutely no mistake."
How could he mess around in the academy without figuring out the origins and backgrounds of all the students before calling the roll?
Zhang Gaoqiu is done for—he said it himself! Even Jesus couldn't save him!
At this moment, the Gambling Fox turned to look at Zhang Chen, a hint of surprise and uncertainty in its eyes: "Could this kid have seen through my tricks? He actually perfectly avoided my linguistic traps?"
"I need to get closer to this kid; he's simply a walking treasure trove!" Chai Chuanxin stared at Zhang Chen.
