Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 1224 Mu Chen
It appears to be an auction, but the items being auctioned don't seem to be of a particularly high level. Most of the guests here are Supreme-level, with only a handful being Earthly Supremes.

Standing at the entrance, Xiao Se hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should go in and take a look.

Before he could make up his mind, a quarrel broke out in front of him, attracting everyone's attention.

Xiao Se subconsciously took a step forward, but suddenly heard Yao Wan's slightly abrupt voice behind him: "Xiao Se, go and help that little girl in front out of that predicament."

Mother?

"it is good."

Xiao Se immediately sprang into action. As he passed through the crowd, he saw that the girl dressed as a boy that he had just bumped into was now arguing with someone again. Without slowing down at all, he couldn't help but think to himself that this girl was really a restless person.

In comparison, even my older sister is quite humble and polite.

"This young master has no interest in men—"

"Why bother, young lady—who are you?"

Seeing that the girl was still entangled with the other party, Xiao Se grabbed the person who was entangled with her without thinking and threw him out.

"I'm sorry, but I was asked to do this, please stop bothering me."

Amidst the gasps of the crowd, Xiao Se lowered his eyes and rubbed his wrist, almost losing control of his strength. Acting on impulse was too dangerous.

The danger wasn't for him, but for the other party.

"You?! You—"

The young man scrambled to his feet from a pile of opulent decorations, only to be astonished to find that he had been completely unaware of the other party's appearance and attack.

"How dare you speak to the young master..."

The old man in black robes who was following the young man was about to make a move, but when he met the young man's gaze, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Unable to detect any spiritual energy, completely unable to detect any spiritual energy, but instead felt a chilling sense of threat. Although in his mind the boy posed no threat whatsoever, his body was trembling uncontrollably.

Xiao Se didn't care about their reaction. It would be best if they would back down. Then he turned around and saw that a young couple had also approached them, which surprised him.

"Ok?"

Xiao Se blinked as he looked at the somewhat familiar young man and the stunningly beautiful woman whose face was full of astonishment.

"It seems I've done something unnecessary, but I was asked to do it, so I apologize."

"...This place really has a lot of weirdos."

The girl dressed as a boy realized what was happening and couldn't help but mutter something.

"Is the girl one of them too?"

Xiao Se didn't think the other person was a normal person at all, otherwise his mother wouldn't have asked him to step in.

"You have the nerve to say that? Aside from my Uncle Mink, this is the first time I've ever seen such a good-looking man... You didn't sneak out from somewhere, did you?"

The girl dressed as a boy retorted.

"I came out with my superiors. Are you talking about yourself, young lady?"

"whispering sound."

Seeing that she was about to be exposed, the girl dressed as a boy reluctantly shut her mouth.

"This friend looks somewhat familiar."

Xiao Se looked at the slightly tense young man and then said something that surprised him.

"...But this should be the first time I'm meeting you, sir."

The youth shook his head.

"That makes sense. I haven't been around much in the last ten years or so, but some of them do look familiar—could it be that their surname is Qing?"

Xiao Se murmured, but as the young man opened his eyes wide, he shook his head thoughtfully: "No, Qing is the mother's surname..." Before he could finish speaking, the young man's eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat.

What others might find utterly baffling, he found as a storm raging within him.

How did he know?
Is he a member of the Futu Ancient Clan? Or someone from another faction?
Did he come here to eliminate himself?
Before he could answer, Xiao Se nodded: "That's really true, no wonder."

"you--"

The young man was taken aback, but immediately realized that he seemed to have sensed his thoughts through divine sense.

It is said that beings with excessively powerful souls, such as spirit array masters and alchemists, can accomplish this.

Even though he has now reached the Supreme Realm, he still cannot avoid having his thoughts known by the other party, which means that the gap between the two is now as vast as heaven and earth.

How could I possibly contend with such an existence?
If the other party wants to, no one can stop you from bleeding on the spot.

"—Junior Mu Chen, does Senior know my mother?"

As he gradually came to a conclusion, Mu Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to find out. If he was destined to die here today, there was nothing he could do; it was just bad luck.

"Mother? So Qing Yanjing is your mother?"

Xiao Se suddenly realized, "No wonder you look familiar, it turns out you're the son of an old friend. But you're already this big!"

"Huh? So you're actually an old man who's lived for at least several decades?!"

The girl dressed as a boy standing to the side said with a rather disillusioned expression.

"...It's just that my growth has stopped, it's not like I did it on purpose."

Xiao Se lowered his eyes. It wasn't that the old man was in such a state, but according to outsiders, he was far older than a few decades. He must have been around for at least three or four hundred years.

"—But you don't need to call me senior. In my understanding, that was only a short time ago."

Xiao Se breathed a sigh of relief: "Want to talk?"

Mu Chen nodded silently.

"That's just right..."

Xiao Se subconsciously turned his head to look at the door, only to see that the familiar figures of his elders seemed to have already gathered.

"Then let me just say a few words."

“Your mother and I are not very close friends. At most, we are old acquaintances with whom I had some interaction and a good impression. She just left the Futu Ancient Clan, worrying about where she would go next. After traveling together for a few days, we parted ways.”

After the auction began, Xiao Sexuan began to recount everything from the past.

"Later, I heard from her family that she had committed a serious crime and was punished by the Hui people, and she is still being punished to this day."

"I've heard that she had children outside the marriage, but I didn't expect them to be so grown up."

"I see, thank you for clearing up my doubts, senior."

Mu Chen nodded; receiving this news wasn't bad for him after all.

"...Although I don't know the cause and effect, it seems that everyone is somewhat hiding their true abilities?"

The girl dressed as a boy next to him exclaimed after hearing this.

"So, who are you, the rich young lady who ran away from someone's house?"

Xiao Se glanced at the somewhat outgoing young girl.

"Who said I ran away secretly!"

The girl dressed as a boy was too lazy to argue, and seeing the auction begin, she said no more.
