Chapter 686: The Shen Family

d outside the Yu Beast Sect's perimeter, engaging in various illicit activities."Seizing her and selling her would definitely fetch a good price." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me...Fang Chen's eyebrows furrowed even deeper upon hearing this.

If it were someone else, they would have turned and left long ago, not getting involved in this kind of thing.

But Master Tianyangzi said, Old Shen is a friend of life and death. Others might betray, but he won't.

Thinking about this, he decided to investigate further before making a conclusion.

"Miss, please don't go, I beg you."

Suddenly, a voice of urgency came from ahead.

Two graceful figures immediately entered Fang Chen's line of sight from the corner.

One was an ordinary-looking maid.

Another, about eighteen or nineteen years old, was strikingly beautiful with delicate skin and an air of grace. Her finely arched eyebrows were slightly furrowed, casting a shadow of worry on her otherwise exquisite features, adding to her beauty a touch of poignant charm.

It is Shen Man.

When Shen Man saw Fang Chen, she was also slightly taken aback by his handsome face.

I never expected my fiancé to be this handsome. He's nothing like those uncouth commoners.

But she quickly reacted, knowing deep down that no matter how handsome he was, it had nothing to do with her.

She walked up to Fang Chen and said coldly, "You are Fang Chen"

Shensong introduced from the side: "Young Master Fang, this is my Miss Shen, Shen Man."

Fang Chen could feel that the visitor was not friendly, but he still clasped his hands and said, "I've met Miss Shen."

Shen Man, however, was quite blunt and said: "Since you're here, I might as well be straightforward."

“I am very dissatisfied with the marriage contract set by my grandfather, and I will absolutely not marry someone from a lower realm!”

"Look at yourself You're so earthy and down-to-earth, I just find you repulsive.

"

"Anyone worthy of being with me can only be those peerless geniuses from the Heavenly Pride Pavilion or the top-tier prodigies!"

"You, who can't even get into the Tianjiao Pavilion, dare to marry me"

Don't think I don't know, marrying me is just because you want to climb into the Shen family's wealth!

But I will absolutely not give you this kind of chance! Get out of the Shen family right now, we don't welcome you here!

She spoke with haughty airs, reducing Fang Chen to nothing.

But despite the insults, Fang Chen remained calm.

He said calmly, "This Shen family isn't something you can just decide. I'm here today only to see Old Master Shen."

As for our marriage contract, rest assured. Since you're unwilling, I naturally won't force it. When I meet Elder Shen, I will tell him about the annulment.

But when it came to Fang Chen's concessions, Shen Man took things even further.

"I don't need my grandfather's consent! I decide my own marriage! Get out of the Shen family now! Get out of Luobi City! Don't make me call someone to throw you out!" Shen Man glared at Fang Chen.

Fang Chen, upon hearing this, merely raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Then I would like to see how you plan to throw me out of the Shen family."

He has already been polite, but the other party is still so arrogant and domineering. Now he doesn't plan to give them any face anymore.

Shen Man was furious and ordered the guards of the Shen family in Xi Zhou: "Throw him out!"

When the Shen family guards heard this, they all looked at each other in surprise, and not one of them made a move.

"You all! I am Miss Shen! Don't you even listen to me" Shen Man roared.

But no matter how willful and capricious she was, no one still obeyed her orders. Shen Song was the same.

Fang Chen, despite being somewhat surprised, it seemed that this willful young lady was not well-liked.

This level of capriciousness, not even giving the guards any face.

"You! You!"

Shen Man's eyes were moist, looking like she was about to cry from anger.

A flicker of pity crossed Shen Song's eyes as he quickly persuaded, "Miss, please don't make a fuss anymore. Young Master Fang came here for you!"

"I don't need it!"

Shen Man stubbornly said, "I'm enough on my own! I don't need anyone else!"

She glared fiercely at Fang Chen, saying, "You remember this! No matter what happens afterwards! I will not marry you!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't stay any longer. She turned and left.

Fang Chen watched her back and shook his head slightly.

If not for the master's command, he would never have come.

Whether he wants it or not, it's just as he wished.

But Kai Yan Tian Zun, who stood behind Fang Chen, watched Shen Man's departing figure and fell into deep thought.

"Didn't expect to actually encounter this once-in-a-millennium curse This is interesting."

He saw something, but didn't tell Fang Chen.

Shen Song bowed to Fang Chen and apologized, "I'm sorry, Master Fang. My young mistress actually has something difficult to say..."

Fang Chen waved his hand and said, "It's normal for Miss to have no feelings for me. After all, most people feel repulsed by arranged marriages."

Shen Song chuckled wryly. He wanted to say that actually, Shen Man had been very eager and obedient before.

It's only after the head of the household fell ill that things became like this.

"Sigh. He didn't explain much, just said: "Master Fang, you'll understand after seeing the head of the family."

Fang Chen knew Shen Song probably hid something from him, but he didn't care too much.

After seeing Mr. Shen, he would leave on his own and head to the Tiāo Pavilion.

Under Shen Song's lead, he soon arrived at the door of Old Shen's ward.

Shen Song said, "Head of the family, Young Master Fang has arrived."

"Hurry! Please invite Master Fang in!"

From within the room came Elder Shen's frail yet somewhat excited voice.

Shen Song led Fang Chen into it, while Kai Yan Tianzun naturally waited outside.

Only Shen Lao, Shen San, and their son Shen Xin are left in the house.

The rest of the Shen family's high-level officials have already left.

Fang Chen looked at Old Shen in bed.

At this moment, Lao Shen is as thin as a stick, his face dark, he is already at the end of his rope, with no strength to turn things around.

But what furrowed Fang Chen's brow was that Elder Shen wasn't nearing the end of his lifespan, but rather seemed to be afflicted by some kind of strange curse, which explained his current state.

And that is why even when he opened his magical eyes, he could not distinguish the curse.

Even now, even if he could tell the difference, Old Shen would be surely dead.

Shen Lao noticed Fang Chen's expression change and smiled: "This curse of mine has run deep into my bones, making the young friend laugh."

Fang Chen then returned, bowing respectfully: "Greetings, Elder Shen. It was this junior's fault for my earlier impropriety."

Lao Shen shook his head: "I can see from your eyes that you want to cure me. I'm very happy to have this kind of heart, and Shen Man can also rest assured to entrust you with it."

Fang Chen, however, wryly smiled and said: "Elder Shen, please don't jest. Miss Shen has not taken a liking to me. I also feel that she and I are not suitable for each other, so I beg Elder Shen to rescind this betrothal."

Mr. Shen, however, did not answer immediately. Instead, he said to the two sons: "Help me get out of bed."

"Father, you now!" Shen San was worried.

Shen Lao glared at him and said, “I’m a spiritual sea realm expert, I won’t just vanish in an instant!”

Erzi heard this and exchanged wry smiles with each other, they could only do as they were told.

With their help, Lao Shen stood up unsteadily.

But the next moment, he knelt before Fang Chen with a thud.

Fang Chen was taken aback, but luckily he reacted quickly and immediately supported Lao Shen, saying, "Lao Shen, why bother Let's talk this through!"

Shen Lao looked at Fang Chen and pleaded, "Young friend Fang, please save the Shen family, save Man'er!" were a hundred grooves, clearly keyholes.These nearly one hundred keyholes must all be completed by Tiansxuejing.Ningmao noodles showed excitement!Can you kill Fang Chen! A step to the sky depends on...
