Chapter 3423

Fade Chen took An Qingyu back to the palace, casually threw her to a court lady, and then left her alone.

Back in the room, Fade Chen frowned slightly, felt the vitality in his body, and then took out a piece of high-quality fire crystal, and practiced to absorb it.

After a while, Fade Chen looked at the shattered fire crystal in his hand, and sighed, feeling a little helpless.

"Is it still not working?"

The confrontation with Song Jian just now made Fade Chen realize that he is at risk of being exposed at any time.

Because, his current level of strength is only at the first level of Yuanhun Realm, and he is the lowest existence among the five guards.

Although he was the most injured when he excused himself from the lower realms, his strength declined sharply. But now, after a few days, although Fade Chen has been working hard to cultivate, he regrettably found that his cultivation has not improved much.

Almost all of the strength he had improved by absorbing those excellent fire crystals was wiped out by the rejection of him by the Great Flame Realm itself.

Even faintly, Fade Chen felt that the power of repelling him from the Great Flame Realm was still wearing down his own strength.

Of course he knew that the root cause was that he did not have the blood of the Great Flame Realm, and his Yuan Yin "Splitting Blade" was imitated by Master Tianming.

Although this seal escaped Yan Xiao's inspection, it was a fake after all. For the rejection of the small world of the Great Flame Realm, the simulated Yuan Seal could not compare with the real Bloodline Yuan Seal of the Great Flame Realm.

Therefore, in contrast, the repulsion that Fade Chen receives every day in the Great Flame Realm is much stronger than that of the others.

If this continues, Fade Chen's strength, let alone recovering, may even decline.

Once such a thing happens, his identity may be at risk of being exposed.

Moreover, even if his identity has not been exposed, once his strength drops drastically, Yan Xiao will definitely not be able to use him by then, and he might be abandoned like nothing.

Therefore, at this moment, Fade Chen couldn't wait to start the mission, leaving the capital, avoiding Yan Xiao, and hiding his secrets better.

Of course, dodging is only a temporary measure, and to truly solve this problem, a fundamental method must be found.

But now Fade Chen is a little helpless, there is no good way, he can only take one step at a time.

There is no better way, Fade Chen can only continue to practice.

Although the effect of practice is not good, it is also useful to slow down the decline of some strength.

I don't know how long I have been practicing, but after the sky gradually darkened, Fade Chen heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Fade Chen said.

The door opened, and a slim figure walked in with food.

"Master Chen, please have dinner."

Fade Chen looked up and found that it was An Qingyu who came.

At this moment, An Qingyu changed into a court lady's costume, and the makeup on her face also changed. It's not as beautiful as it was in Huangying Pagoda before, it's much lighter and more elegant.

And this kind of dress, on the contrary, highlighted An Qingyu's pure and elegant face, adding a bit of elegance and delicateness, but it made Fade Chen's eyes shine, and he was a little surprised.

The strangeness in his eyes flashed past, Fade Chen nodded slightly to An Qingyu, and then said: "Let it go!"

An Qingyu put down the food, then stood beside Fade Chen, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, I will serve you."

While speaking, An Qingyu leaned down and leaned towards Fade Chen.

Fade Chen waved his hand in time and said, "No need, I'll do it myself."

"Uh—" An Qingyu was a little surprised, but seeing Fade Chen's firm attitude, she bowed her head and left.

That night, An Qingyu took the initiative to bring hot water to help Fade Chen wash up, and even tactfully expressed that he was willing to stay to serve the bed, but Fade Chen refused.

Early the next morning, Fade Chen had breakfast under the service of An Qingyu, and then went to Yanxiao's side again.

When Fade Chen arrived, the other four had already arrived.

Before he could open his mouth, Song Jian said in a strange tone, "Looks like yesterday's oiran was pretty good? Mr. Chen, who has always been diligent, came late today."

Fade Chen frowned, ignored Song Jian, and came to his seat to sit down.

On the other hand, Wu Yong, who was at the side, came over with great interest.

"Brother Chen, I heard that yesterday you went outside to get a flower queen. How does it feel? Is it comfortable?"

Fade Chen said lightly: "Brother Wu misunderstood, I just felt sorry for her and brought her back to be a servant."

"Really?" Wu Yong looked in disbelief.

Not to mention him, even Fang Xuguang, who has always been reticent, showed disbelief.

Meiyue has been standing by Song Jian's side all the time, so naturally she would not be polite to Fade Chen, and directly mocked: "Some people, who have done something, dare not admit it. It's ridiculous to pretend to be a gentleman in front of sensible people."

Fade Chen frowned, showing displeasure.

At this moment, Prince Yanxiao walked in disheveledly with two beautiful beauties in his arms, "What kind of gentleman are you talking about?"

Seeing this, several people quickly stood up and saluted.

Yan Xiao waved his hands, and asked with interest: "What are you talking about, I heard you are talking about beautiful oirans?"

Seeing Yan Xiao's interested look, Song Jian rolled his eyes, thought of something, and immediately said, "Return to Your Highness..."

Immediately, Song Jian told Yan Xiao about Fade Chen and An Qingyu's affairs, of course, he couldn't avoid embellishment in his words.

After listening, Yan Xiao looked at Fade Chen and said with a smile: "Chen Fei, I usually see you indifferently, and thought you were not interested in women, so you like to go outside!"

"His Royal Highness, I didn't—" Fade Chen wanted to explain.

But Yan Xiao waved his hand and said: "Chen Fei, there is no need to explain. Everyone is a man, I understand what you think, if it is in the earth element world, then forget it."

"However, since we are in the lower realm, there is no need to put on such a pretense. Let go a little and relax."

Fade Chen was speechless and could only nod his head: "Thank you for your teaching, His Royal Highness."

Yan Xiao nodded, and while kneading the beautiful woman beside him, he said: "I heard that the oiran is very good-looking, and she is also a princess. Turn around, I'll go and have a look."

"When the time comes, let's play around. The people around me, whoever you fancy, just open your mouth."

Hearing this, Fang Xuguang, Song Jian and Wu Yong all showed a smile, and started laughing.

Obviously, they played this trick a lot.

And Fade Chen frowned, although this An Qingyu was not his woman, but he still couldn't do this kind of thing in exchange for everyone.

Seeing this, Song Jian teased on purpose: "Brother Chen, why don't you talk? Do you feel distressed?"

Fade Chen looked at Song Jian coldly, and said, "Brother Song is worrying too much, you don't need to worry about my affairs."

"Really—" Song Jian said.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Yan Xiao waved his hands and said, "Okay, stop gossiping and talk about business."

Then, Yan Xiao explained the matter of this meeting.

The main thing is the next task. Yan Xiao officially named this plan "Firefly Project", and strives to complete it within 20 years and unify the Yaori Kingdom.

After the meeting, everyone got up and left.

Fade Chen ignored Song Jian's deliberate provocation and went straight back to his residence.

For the next two days, apart from arranging the "Firefly Project" related affairs, Chen Fei spent almost all of his time on cultivation.
