Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 1221 It's Still Early

"I understand, but it seems that things are not peaceful even within the Futu Ancient Clan right now."

Xiao Se's question made Qingxuan, who had initially felt relieved, sigh involuntarily.

“The Emperor’s son is right. My sister violated the clan’s arrangements and is now not only imprisoned, but the entire Qing lineage has also been implicated. A series of complicated events have occurred, and the other two lineages have taken this opportunity to suppress the Qing lineage.”

Even in just a few simple words, the bitterness and sorrow that appeared on his face were obvious to everyone.

For Qingmai, this is indeed a turbulent time.

"If the current situation weren't so complicated, I probably wouldn't be in such a hurry to come out and collect the pills."

Qingxuan merely forced a stiff smile, maintaining proper etiquette as she tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Xiao Se nodded silently; he could somewhat understand Qingmai's current predicament.

"Besides, there's nothing else I need to trouble Miss Qingxuan with. If you need any pills in the future, just let the people of the Tongshang Continent know, and we will send you all the pills you need."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Se's words reassured her a lot. After all, the Qing Clan was in such a predicament, and she didn't know what the other two clans would do to suppress them. She could only think of the worst-case scenario.

It's certainly a good thing that Xiao Se is willing to help.

"It's just a way of showing my respect to an old friend."

Xiao Se then got up to see the guest off.

After seeing Qingxuan off, Xiao Se then went to the Medicine Tower.

Such trivial matters wouldn't bother my father and mother, but they were clearly not things I could solve by simply talking to them.

Although my status is somewhat special, I still need the approval of an elder who is truly in charge of this kind of thing.

"...That's pretty much it."

Xiao Se looked at the white-haired youth in front of him and said with a serious expression.

"But it's just my own idea, and I still need my master's approval."

Yao Chen paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh, "It's just a matter of asking someone to make an extra trip. Is it really necessary to come to me?"

"The rules can't be changed."

"You are, after all, the young master of the Endless Fire Domain. Although your parents haven't entrusted you with anything too important yet, it's not like you need to come and ask me about such a small matter."

Yao Chen shook his head, but the smile on his face grew wider and wider: "Speaking of which, why have you suddenly started paying attention to the girls of the Futu Ancient Clan? Could it be that you've reached a certain age and have taken a fancy to a girl? Should I go and act as a matchmaker for you? Although they aren't your parents, I think I'm good enough."

Xiao Se shook his head and briefly summarized what he had just mentioned to Qingxuan: "It's just that the girl from the Futu Ancient Clan that I met when I traveled with my sister has now run into trouble, so I just wanted to do my part to honor that old friend."

"I see. In that case, Qing Yanjing does have some of your mother's charm back then."

Yao Chen smiled. Although he also disliked the Maha Ancient Clan, putting aside the grudges between the Maha Ancient Clan, such a temperament was indeed nostalgic.

"Mother?"

"Back then, your mother got bored in the Medicine Clan, so she secretly went out and traveled a long way. She eventually arrived in the small town where your father lived, just in time for his period of seclusion. That's how the two of them met."

Yao Chen loved telling these young descendants about the experiences and adventures of their parents' generation.

As for how the child's father went into hiding, that's another story. Yao Chen's smile remained unchanged.

"My aunt mentioned it a few times before, so that's how it is."

Xiao Se nodded thoughtfully.

“Your mother was taken back by the clan elders when her bloodline was about to awaken. However, they weren’t that wild. It was just a chance encounter that led to this situation. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been born so late.”

Yao Chen said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hmm...we've gone off on a tangent. Anyway, we'll just explain this little matter when the Shang Continent sends someone to the Endless Fire Domain."

"After all, it's not a very important matter, it's not like we're giving away things to the Futu Ancient Clan for free... Of course, if you take a fancy to any Futu Ancient Clan girl, that's another story."

"This is still too early for me."

Xiao Se couldn't help but shake his head.

"After all, you're not quite the same as your dad back then. That brat of his already had your sister before he was even twenty... But then again, isn't the reason I'm making this guess because this is the first time you've shown such interest in someone else?"

"Well... I guess so. After all, for someone like me who grew up in the Endless Fire Domain, it was the first time I had ever met a friend from outside."

Xiao Se pondered for a moment, but didn't come up with any additional reason. Rather, he was somewhat curious himself.

Although it was not the kind of subjective freedom that his father and mother expected, he was indeed curious and longing for everything in the outside world.

"Since you're so curious, why don't you go out and explore more?"

Yao Chen asked.

"If I go out alone, my sister will probably be lonely. The problem with her bloodline will be resolved soon, it's just a matter of waiting a little longer."

Xiao Se smiled and shook his head.

"Don't spoil your sister too much. If she uses the standards you use for her to choose her future husband, then you're doomed."

Yao Chen had witnessed the affection between the siblings. It was perfectly acceptable for the children to be harmonious and friendly; they couldn't be expected to fight and make a ruckus every day.

"My sister probably has a long way to go too."

Xiao Se was not worried about this.

"That's hard to say, after all, they already have troublesome parents."

Yao Chen, who had been through it all, couldn't help but shake his head. How could a girl's thoughts be so easy to guess?

As time went on, the scandals of the Futu Ancient Clan gradually fermented, and eventually, the truth could not be hidden any longer and the rumors were exposed.

The daughter of the Futu Ancient Clan, whose whereabouts and whom she met, and whoever she was persuaded by sweet words, eventually pledged her life to him and even gave birth to a son. Now she has returned to the Futu Ancient Clan and is being suppressed by the Great Elder with the Ancestral Pagoda to reflect on her mistakes.

Needless to say, the response from the Mahagu tribe was that the original alliance was completely broken, and they almost became enemies as a result. The previously announced marriage agreement was also completely nullified.

Although hundreds of years have passed, washing away the humiliation suffered by the Endless Fire Domain's subordinates is no longer an urgent matter, but the scandals that followed are enough to keep them quiet for hundreds more years.

It's really ugly.
