Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 1220 The Scandal of the Ancient Buddha Clan

After returning to the Endless Fire Domain, Xiao Xiao fell into a deep sleep once again.

When he didn't need to look after his sister, Xiao Se mostly focused on cultivation or sweeping through the demonic realm adjacent to the Endless Fire Domain.

After all, regular garbage collection is essential.

My mother's teachings were absolutely correct. There was no need to fight with those demons for that filthy land that was already soaked in demonic energy. Fighting would only make things more complicated and troublesome.

In that case, there's no need to compete with them; just clean them regularly.

For the Endless Fire Domain, the most important thing is to eliminate the living forces of the extraterrestrial evil races; it is meaningless to fight for one or two barren territories.

As the cleaning continued, even though the neighboring Demon Realm was never taken over by the Endless Fire Domain, the evil race, unable to tolerate this cleaning behavior, would naturally obediently demarcate a buffer zone within the Demon Realm to ensure that these fire-playing madmen in the Endless Fire Domain would not pose any real threat to them.

Therefore, the Endless Fire Domain has also made corresponding adjustments.

Since they want to huddle deeper inside, let's wait until they stick their heads out before we knock their heads off.

Otherwise, wouldn't that just be a formality?

The peaceful daily life inside the Endless Fire Domain sometimes makes it difficult to even perceive the passage of time.

Then, not long after, came some surprising news.

The marriage agreement between the Futu and Maha tribes seems to be falling through.

Although no force has made a big fuss about this matter, and both sides have chosen to remain silent, this unusual silence itself indicates that things are developing in a strange direction.

The engagement, which had been publicized for several years, suddenly fell apart without anyone noticing. Just thinking about it, it's obvious that something big must have happened.

Although neither party has explicitly stated that the engagement has completely ended, their mutual choice to remain silent is essentially a form of openness and honesty.

Yao Wan's guess has come true.

Even so, Xiao Se still kept a watchful eye, or rather, simply wanted to confirm it.

After all, as one of the three great alchemy holy lands, the Endless Fire Domain has almost no trade with the Maha Ancient Clan, but it has a certain degree of communication with almost all the Heavenly Sovereign-level forces in the Great Thousand World.

The five ancient clans, such as the Futu Ancient Clan, are naturally major clients of the Endless Fire Domain.

Although there were some indirect frictions between the Endless Fire Domain and the Ancient Buddha Clan, the Ancient Buddha Clan was so large that there were bound to be people who could speak on their behalf.

After waiting for some time, at Xiao Se's behest, they did indeed find a member of the Futu Ancient Clan who held a neutral stance.

"I never expected that the legendary imperial prince would be interested in meeting me... I am truly honored."

Under the shade of the Jianmu tree, a woman who bore a slight resemblance to the woman in the white dress from before looked at the handsome sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in front of her with a somewhat forced and haggard smile, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"You're too kind, Miss Qingxuan."

Xiao Se took a sip of tea and gently put the teacup down.

"I wonder what business Your Highness has with me? To be honest, there are many internal matters concerning the Ancient Buddha Clan at the moment. If Your Highness simply wants to chat, please forgive me for not having enough time..."

Qingxuan clenched the hem of her clothes slightly, then slowly loosened her grip.

"No, I just want to ask you some questions about the inner workings of the Futu Ancient Clan that are not easy to disclose in detail. Of course, I won't ask for nothing in return. I can give you double the amount of the pills you purchased this time as a reward."

"Huh?" Even Qingxuan, who came from one of the five ancient clans, had never seen such a wealthy and arrogant approach. Considering that the other party's parents were all top-tier alchemists in the Great Thousand World, it was not surprising that they could ask for such a price without changing their expression.

"This... I am grateful for the Emperor's kindness, but matters concerning the clan are truly—"

While Qingxuan was still somewhat hesitant, Yaowan's answer completely dispelled her doubts.

"—I wonder if Miss Qingxuan knows the name Qing Yanjing?"

"How did the imperial prince learn of this name?"

Qingxuan's eyes widened immediately. Naturally, she couldn't care less about the reasons for her hesitation or the huge scandal that her clan was currently facing. After all, even the Futu Ancient Clan hadn't publicized such a major event, so logically, no one should know so much about it.

"It seems that's true."

Seeing Qingxuan's completely unsettled expression, Xiao Se was now certain of his guess.

"Miss Qingxuan, there's no need to worry about anything. The reason I know Qing Yanjing is simply because I happened to meet Miss Qing when I was traveling with my sister."

"At that time, she was hesitant about the marriage arranged by her clan and chatted with my brother and me for a few minutes."

"That's it...that's it."

Qingxuan paused for a moment, then realized that the stern-faced prince in front of her was not joking.

His dim eyes watched the tea leaves slowly sink to the bottom of the tea, and he heard Qingxuan sigh after a moment of hesitation.

"Qing Yanjing...she is my younger sister."

"I see. I thought it would be... never mind, forgive my bluntness."

Xiao Se raised his eyes and subconsciously responded, but then suddenly shut his mouth when he realized what he was saying.

After all, it seems to be a rather strange situation in his family. Both his father and mother look quite young, so much so that if you didn't know their identities, you might think they were brothers or something.

However, this misunderstanding cannot be shared with others, otherwise it would definitely cause a huge mess.

"The Emperor's son?"

Seeing Xiao Se's sudden strange state, Qingxuan was momentarily taken aback but couldn't help but remind him.

"To be honest, my sister has caused a great disaster during her training. She married an outsider and apparently even had a child. This has shocked the clan, and the Grand Elder is furious. My sister has returned, but she hasn't said a word about what happened outside. She probably wants to protect her husband and child."

Qingxuan sighed softly.

"It's true."

Recalling her mother's past jokes, a sense of melancholy welled up in her heart as she reflected on Qing Yanjing's current situation.

"In that case, her current predicament is probably partly due to the encouragement and support my brother and I gave her back then."

"No... my sister is strong-willed by nature. Although she was confused for a long time because of Father's sudden departure, she didn't mention those two at all when she came back. It seems that she had already made up her mind and was determined to protect them no matter what..."

Qingxuan murmured, looked at Xiao Se who was slightly sighing, and then said, "What you two said back then probably just made her realize this point a little earlier."
