Chapter 205 Meeting He Fei

Chapter 205 Meeting He Fei

"What are you doing here? You're not allowed in."

So they turned back, looking back as they walked.

They were surprised to see some people go in, holding white tokens. They wondered what those white tokens were. If they had those tokens too, could they also go in and perhaps learn something they didn't know?

A guard nearby told them, "That's a token representing identity. Only those with that identity can enter. Those tokens are possessed by people with high martial arts skills and who are deeply trusted by the elders."

"So where do the priests live?"

"The priests live in the central palace. Although it is where the priests live, it is now guarded by the elders' soldiers. So the priests only have a few confidants now, and they are restricted by the elders. They can't communicate at all. The saintess is the same now. She can hardly see them more than a few times."

They didn't know why the guard would tell him so much, but it was clear that the soldier disliked the elder, otherwise why would he tell them such a secret?

Well, so the two of them went back to their place and prepared to tell Chen Feng what they had just heard.

He knew they all had things they wanted to find out, so he decided to figure out the place himself. He explored the entire palace and discovered that the priest was surrounded by the elders' men, who were spread throughout the city. However, there were also a few who remained neutral and did not take sides.

So this could be a breakthrough.

Chen Feng had been in the flower sea for two days in a row. He was thinking that if he still couldn't see He Fei tonight, he would have to find a way to get into He Fei's residence. Even though the security there was very tight, he had to try. Otherwise, what was the point of coming here if he couldn't see He Fei?

Chen Feng was idling around, gazing at the sea of ​​flowers, a riot of colors. Although there shouldn't be this many flowers here at this time of year, thanks to the Chen family's special preservation methods, all sorts of flowers were here, emitting pleasant scents. However, Chen Feng knew that not only were there beautiful flowers, but some were also poisonous. He wasn't entirely at ease and kept searching for a way to stay safe here.

"You stay here, I'll go in, you stay outside and watch." A familiar voice came from outside.

Chen Feng knew it was He Fei's voice. Sure enough, his wait was worthwhile. Just as the sun was about to set, He Fei arrived, followed by a group of guards.

It was clear she wasn't very happy; after all, nobody wants to be followed by a group of guards wherever they go.

He Fei seemed unhappy, but that feeling vanished when she saw Chen Feng. She was surprised that the person she had been longing for day and night had actually appeared in her favorite place. She quickly asked Chen Feng, "What are you doing here? Come on, let's go inside. We can't let anyone see us."

Chen Feng slipped in unnoticed, so his movements went unnoticed. He Fei's concerns were valid, and they went inside.

He Fei had been trapped here for the past few years and had learned a lot. She was now very familiar with some of the Chen family's methods of using poison, so she was fearless in the face of these poisonous flowers. After all, what would a person who uses poison be afraid of such small poisonous flowers? She led Chen Feng into the very center, which was also the most beautiful spot.

Chen Feng saw the person he had been longing for day and night. She had grown from a naive little girl a few years ago to the quiet and gentle girl she was now. He was very happy, but he couldn't help feeling a little sad. What had made this lively and cheerful little girl turn into this? So Chen Feng was still a little unhappy.

He Fei noticed that Chen Feng didn't seem very happy, so she told him, "Chen Feng, I'm fine. I'm doing well now. I've learned a lot. There are several elders in the clan teaching me things. Because I'm the Holy Maiden, there's a lot to learn, but I think it's all worthwhile."

"Hmm, where have you been without me?" He Fei asked Chen Feng.

Chen Feng then told He Fei where he had been over the years. He said he had just come from an academy, the one He Fei had previously attended. He learned about the Chen family from the president, which is why he wanted to find her. He didn't want her to be hurt by them. He heard that the Chen family was not very stable at the moment. He said they had just come from Luoyang and saw the people being plundered.

“Chen Feng, I don’t have much strength right now, so I can only endure it. Once I’m strong enough, I will take back what’s rightfully mine. My mother, who is also the priestess, is suffering greatly because of me. She’s been constantly monitored by those malicious elders, so I need you to do some things for me.”

Chen Feng asked, "What do you want to do? I will definitely do it for you, so don't worry."

"Over the years I have accumulated some wealth, but compared with the wealth accumulated by those elders, it is insignificant. So I want you to help me accumulate some money so that I can deal with those elders in the future. They rely on the money they plunder, while I want to rely on my own strength to establish some shops so that I can compete with them in the future."

"Oh, you want to open a shop? Do you have a shop in mind?"

"Yes, the first thing I want to do is open a clothing store. I'm good at design, and I've drawn a lot of sketches over the years. You can go to the street and find a tailor to make clothes from my drawings. I believe that such styles will be very novel and many people will buy them."

"I don't have much capital right now, this is all I have, so could you help me run this business first?"

Chen Feng agreed.

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "With my current strength, I can do something else. I can teach others martial arts and charge a fee. Since we are all good at these skills, we can teach them, so we will have another source of income."

He Fei thought this was a good idea, since they could only rely on accumulating strength here, and there were many ordinary people in the world, so He Fei let Chen Feng do it this way.

After telling her all this, Chen Feng asked He Fei, "How have you spent these years here? Those elders have been oppressing you, so how have you endured it? Have you had a hard time? Tell me."

Although the elders have been monitoring us for years, they haven't dared to treat me well. I just rarely see my mother, and I'm in a vulnerable position. I can't see my mother, but the elders know this, so they come to see me every time and teach me some knowledge. The elders can't imprison them for any reason.
