Chapter 171 Clues of Qing Chen

The tail also wanted to kill some to increase her attributes, but her strength at the Xiantian realm was simply insignificant in the face of these black-blooded ghouls.

She could only wait for Fang Yue to weaken them, then have her tag along for the assist.

Even so, the tail bloomed with joy as she watched the attribute points steadily increasing.

She suddenly felt like she was playing a game and being carried through levels by a professional high-level player.

She remembered Ye Ge once saying he was a professional gamer. Sure enough, a professional is a professional! He’s so skilled at carrying newbies! Five-star service!

Traveling this way, the two quickly arrived at the Seventh Prince’s residence.

Just as the tail had predicted, there was no chaos at the Seventh Prince's residence, only a greater number of guards than usual.

Previously, Jing Yan and Qing Chen disappeared, and Tian Ruichi also disappeared. The Seventh Prince told him that all three had been captured by the Juan Niao Building.

But in reality, only Jing Yan was in the Juan Niao Building.

Even Tian Ruichi was completely free!

Therefore, Fang Yue was very suspicious of the Seventh Prince.

After hesitating, he decided to probe the Seventh Prince's intentions first.

Arriving in front of the Seventh Prince's residence, the servants immediately recognized Fang Yue.

"Lord Ye, welcome back."

"Is the Seventh Prince at the residence?"

"The Seventh Prince is not. However, the Seventh Prince has a message for Lord Ye."

A message?

Fang Yue looked at the servant, but the servant just lowered his head, not speaking, seemingly waiting for someone to come out.

After a while, the housekeeper came out of the residence.

"Lord Ye, strange events have suddenly appeared outside, wreaking havoc. Fortunately, you are unharmed, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain it to the Seventh Prince."

Fang Yue waved his hand and asked directly, "I had Ming send Jing Yan to the residence. Where is he now?"

"Lord Jing Yan?" The housekeeper showed a puzzled expression. "No, Ming is referring to Madam Nian, right? She hasn't been to the Seventh Prince's residence, nor has she brought Lord Jing Yan back..."

Before the housekeeper could finish speaking, he suddenly felt an overwhelming killing intent coming towards him, completely engulfing him, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe. The bone-chilling coldness made him unable to move.

The housekeeper looked at Fang Yue in horror, only to see the other party looking at him with the eyes of a dead man.

"I had Ming send the person back. She knows my strength. If she dares not send the person, she will die. Conversely, if your Seventh Prince's residence is causing trouble, the outcome will be the same. It just so happens that the capital is in chaos now. One more place suffering wouldn't be a problem, I think."

Fang Yue's calm words, devoid of emotion, made the housekeeper involuntarily lower his head, not daring to meet Fang Yue's gaze, his body trembling slightly from the immense fear, cold sweat constantly pouring from his forehead.

By the time he closed his eyes to force himself to calm down, and then looked up, Fang Yue and the tail had already disappeared.

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, but the lingering feeling of fear in his heart still hadn't faded away.

…

On the other side, Fang Yue and the tail were already on their way to the Nian residence.

The Nian family, one of the four major families, represents the Hong Department.

The Hong Department corresponds to specialized martial arts for human criminals.

In game terms, the Qing Si are for PVE (Player vs. Environment), fighting ghouls, while the Hong Department is for PVP (Player vs. Player), fighting other players.

However, martial artists of both departments, at a high level, can learn from each other and possess both functions at the same time.

"Ye Ge, you're still not ruthless enough. Jing Yan wasn't sent back to the Seventh Prince's residence, so people from the Seventh Prince's residence must have been involved," the tail said in a low voice.

"That is still the Seventh Prince's residence. If possible, I don't want to have any conflict with the Seventh Prince. That guy is… Sisi's former fiancé."

The tail was stunned, immediately understood something, fell silent, and said no more.

The two quickly arrived at the Nian residence.

The guards at the door, upon seeing Fang Yue, immediately let them pass without hesitation, and went inside to inform Ming.

After a while, in the reception hall, they saw Ming walking out of the room, smiling radiantly, and… Jing Yan, scratching his head foolishly.

At first glance, these two seemed to have a bit of ambiguity??

Fang Yue's face darkened. He had gone to great lengths to find Jing Yan, but this guy woke up and didn't contact him right away, instead flirting with a girl.

Flirting is fine, but flirting with the married Ming? How thirsty are you!

And Ming, it's not like you haven't seen her before. You didn't feel anything when you saw her in the small village, but now that she's become a married woman, you feel something, huh?

"Captain Ye!"

Seeing Fang Yue, Ming greeted him with a cheerful smile.

"Ye Ge!"

Jing Yan also ran over at this time.

As soon as he reached Fang Yue's side, Fang Yue received a private message from Jing Yan, pouring out his grievances.

"Ye Ge, I can't hold it anymore! That married woman is so good at flirting, she's making me lose myself, but she's already a married woman. What's the point of flirting with me? I'm not Cao Cao!"

"...I think you're enjoying it quite a bit."

"Damn it! Can't I even enjoy it? As long as I don't make a move, I'm still the pure boy I once was, without a single change!"

"...Scumbag!"

[Scumbag!]

Shut up, parchment.

Ming wanted to invite Fang Yue to stay for dinner, but Fang Yue refused—he had other things to do.

Moreover, compared to the chaos outside, the Nian residence where Ming was located was as peaceful as a paradise.

Ming glanced at the tail, who was with Fang Yue but whose face was hidden by a mist cloak, and then said, "Captain Ye, Jing Yan has indeed been bought back by you, but do you know where Qing Chen is now?"

Fang Yue:!

With a frown, Fang Yue glanced at Jing Yan, but the latter shook his head slightly, and then sent a message.

"Ye Ge, I don't know where Qing Chen was taken either. Qing Chen and I were captured together at the medical clinic. When we were first captured, Qing Chen and I were locked up together in a white room.

Later, people in white coats came in, peeled off some of my scales, and then took Qing Chen away.

After that, I was always in that white room, until yesterday, when I was transferred to an iron cage. I don't know what happened after that. I heard from Ming that Ye Ge bought me back from the auction..."

In other words, they were still being held and dealt with separately.

Fang Yue could understand Jing Yan being held for auction, after all, Jing Yan still had a special appearance with scales all over his body, like a fish-man. If he was auctioned, he could be sold for a high price.

But Qing Chen was different. Qing Chen's strength was in his mind, those knowledge about ghouls. Just looking at his appearance, he was just an ordinary human martial artist, and a very low-level one at that. He had no value at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he could still see Qing Chen on his friend list, Fang Yue would have thought that he had been disposed of because he was too worthless.

Fang Yue had tried sending messages to Qing Chen, but because of the distance, he couldn't send the message.
