The atmosphere was somewhat quiet; no one knew what kind of drama was unfolding.
Let's take a look back and forth.
The most bewildered person was undoubtedly the Phoenix Envoy.
Since the Phoenix Empress is willing to take action, let her offend the people of the Bright Moon Manor; it's not her problem.
But who exactly is this Eternal Realm Lord...?
Chen Xing's spirits lifted.
Bai Fengyao, unsure whether she had multiple patriarchs or multiple mistresses, dared not interrupt.
Chen Fan remained silent for a moment, as if he had been forced to confess under torture, and now he was stuck on a pirate ship with no way out.
" Jade Phoenix Empress, what should I call you?"
"Master!" Jade Phoenix Empress found it somewhat amusing.
"No need for formalities..." Chen Fan felt relieved.
They won the game.
Everyone: "..."
Pupil dilation, unbelievable!
Jade Phoenix Empress was genuinely taken aback for a moment, then her expression turned slightly cold.
What a brat! Outrageous! How dare he!
With a wave of her hand, she grabbed Chen Fan without saying a word.
Without the Devil Ancestor around, see who the master is!
She was clearly not the type to suffer in silence or be humiliated.
Chen Fan felt as if the stars were shifting in the sky.
Everyone: "..."
Oh, they're gone.
The phoenix envoy breathed a sigh of relief. "Everyone, please enter my Jade Phoenix Ancestral Realm."
Looking at Chen Xing and Bai Fengyao.
Given this situation, it's beyond her control.
The Eternal Realm Lord dared to treat the Phoenix Empress this way; he's probably not having an easy time. Yet, the Phoenix Empress seems to dote on him quite a bit? It's a very strange feeling.
I don't know what happened or why.
Regardless, she dared not speculate further.
Chen Xing and Bai Fengyao nodded, then followed him into the Jade Phoenix Ancestral Realm.
They simply hope that the young master/master will find his own good fortune, as there is nothing they can do to help.
Forget it, might as well broaden my horizons first.
Within the Jade Phoenix Ancestral Realm.
The mountains and rivers are magnificent, and the scenery is delightful.
The Jade Phoenix Empress appeared in the sky, carrying Chen Fan.
Let's talk about this separately.
Why are you unwilling to become my disciple?
Young man, you are too brave. You are the first person to dare to refuse me like this.
Besides, it doesn't sound like a bad thing.
Is it simply because he has the backing of the Devil Ancestor? If that's the case, then it's somewhat plausible.
But I have leverage over you, aren't you afraid?
Chen Fan smiled. "I already have a master, why should I need to pay homage again?"
Upon hearing this, Jade Phoenix Empress was extremely surprised.
It's not pleasant to have someone beat you to it.
Who is it?
Is she as powerful as him? People will always compare them internally.
Chen Fan: "..."
To be honest...
"I cannot disclose that information."
Currently pregnant...
Upon hearing this, Jade Phoenix Empress did not pursue the matter further.
However, the other party is rather mysterious. To have such a disciple and to have subdue this prodigy, what kind of being is that...?
Oh well, we'll meet again someday.
"Why did you test me?" Since there's no hope, let's lay our cards on the table.
It's impossible for her, a dignified God Emperor, to suffer a loss for nothing.
His authority was immediately revealed.
Chen Fan's previous annihilation of the Bright Moon Manor was clearly a test, a test of her attitude, and this feeling was extremely unpleasant!
Hmph, they probably want to get beaten up.
Chen Fan neither confirmed nor denied it.
"When you're out and about, you always have to be careful."
As it turns out, Jade Phoenix Empress clearly had the intention of taking him in, and was still on his side, even if it meant offending Bright Moon Manor, she would still cover for him.
This is an attitude, not a routine.
But now that we've confiscated him, as long as he's not an enemy, that's fine. We can be both enemies and friends, each getting what we need, and eventually, we'll turn enemies into friends...
Jade Phoenix Empress felt uncomfortable being tested, as it was a sign of distrust.
However, thinking about it, it's normal. After all, they met by chance, and their connection was solely due to the Ancestral Fire...
Now things are fine. Even if they can't recruit Chen Fan, the Jade Phoenix Ancestral Realm is now tied to Chen Fan, because the Bright Moon Manor really came at the worst possible time.
She clearly lost out big time!
Then I stopped worrying; it was all fate.
"What is your relationship with the Devil Ancestor?" he asked casually.
Chen Fan thought for a moment, "If that's the question you're asking, then you should be considered my ancestors."
Jade Phoenix Empress: "..."
One family!
His face was somewhat dazed. "How is this possible...? The Devil Ancestor still has family..."
Chen Fan's face darkened. "This is a curse!"
"What? The Phoenix Empress seems somewhat surprised?"
Perhaps the Jade Phoenix Empress knows something; let's quickly try to get information out of her.
The Jade Phoenix Empress remained silent for a moment.
" The Devil Ancestor appeared suddenly back then, and his background was unknown. How could he have descendants?"
Chen Fan was puzzled. "Why can't we have descendants?"
Looking at it this way, the Myriad Realms Chen Lineage is really good at hiding their secrets. Even a powerhouse like Jade Phoenix Empress doesn't know their origins.
Jade Phoenix Empress could not refute this, but this only added to the mystery.
After all, the Devil Ancestor was renowned for his power back then, and ordinary God Emperor would never want to provoke him.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have acted this way.
Silence again.
"Since that's the case, I can offer you some guidance regarding the Ancestral Fire and the Cosmic Void Raging Flame."
In her imagination: she would take on disciples, offer guidance, and provide financial support; she would even be happy to offend the Star Domain Walkers —a win-win situation for everyone.
The reality is: no harvest, yet still needing guidance, having to cover losses, being taken advantage of for free, and becoming a victim of karma.
"Thank you, Phoenix Empress." Chen Fan's expression warmed slightly as he got down to business.
As expected, the Jade Phoenix Empress had discerned the existence of the Cosmic Void Raging Flame. And before, she had specifically mentioned fire... Could it be?
Jade Phoenix Empress didn't take it to heart. "Don't thank me too much. I'm helping you not without some benefit in it. Although it's a pity I can't take you as my disciple, I won't do it for nothing."
The meaning is clear: even if they can't take on apprentices, they'll still take advantage of them.
Chen Fan expressed his understanding. They were all adults; if there was no profit to be made, what would they be after? Mutual benefit and causal relationships were normal.
"It's alright. Please rest assured, Your Phoenix Empress."
It's a shady deal! As long as she's not the master and is willing to cover it up, then his own stealthy development will be even more secure.
After all, the Devil Ancestor has been imprisoned, which is no small matter. We should repay this kindness tenfold, and we should do so in due time.
Jade Phoenix Empress nodded. Although they hadn't had a deep conversation, she felt that Chen Fan was a decent person and wouldn't do something like taking advantage of someone else.
Alright, that's enough of the tension. Let's give each other a hand.
Her red lips parted slightly, "As for the matter of the Ancestral Fire... indeed, I possess the fifth-ranked Ancestral Fire, the Three Thousand Dao Snow Flame."
After speaking, Jade Phoenix Empress stretched out her clean jade palm, on which a red flame core, covered with a pure white flame, leaped.
"Ranked fifth, Three Thousand Dao Snow Flame..." Chen Fan stared at it, and sure enough, the Jade Phoenix Empress also possessed Ancestral Fire!
She truly has extraordinary luck. If we could take her as a disciple, the reward would probably be quite substantial, right?
The pure white flame, however, gave off an incredibly cold feeling, flowing with three thousand stars? Just like the feeling Lu had given him, only the size of the stars differed.
The stars, like snowflakes, were beautiful and gentle, yet filled with deadly intent.
The Jade Phoenix Empress hummed in agreement.
"While both are Ancestral Fire, the Three Thousand Dao Snow Flame and your Cosmic Void Raging Flame are different..."
"As for its usage, it can help you comprehend a rule, which is different from a law, and is called a domain..."
"Alright, let's go."
After saying that, he took Chen Fan away.
Completely disregarding Chen Fan's feelings, they forcibly began teaching him.
