Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 1225 Caught

"Hey, by the way, did you guys bring any Supreme Elixir with you?"

Looking at the chalcedony currently being auctioned, the girl dressed as a boy subconsciously lowered her voice and spoke with a hint of embarrassment.

"...You've taken a liking to him?"

Mu Chen glanced at the description briefly. Jade marrow wasn't exactly a rare item, but it would still cost about a thousand spirit liquids.

"I need this kind of jade marrow to cultivate the Supreme Dharma Body. Well, I won't take yours for nothing. I'll pay back whatever Supreme Spirit Liquid you spent."

The girl dressed as a boy coughed softly. For someone who was used to living a life of luxury, it was indeed a little embarrassing to start thinking about these things now.

"...There's still a little left. How much do you want?"

Xiao Se thought for a moment, then took out a jade bottle from his storage ring: "I still have some left, let's make do with it."

"oh---"

Before she could even utter half a word of thanks, the sheer amount of Supreme Spiritual Liquid in the jade bottle nearly made her jaw drop.

"—Is this what you call leaving a little bit out?!"

"?"

Mu Chen couldn't help but scan the jade bottle with his divine sense, and the amount of Supreme Spirit Liquid inside made his eyelids tremble.

Time was too short, and he didn't have time to count the amount of money. But compared to the jade bottle that the senior had mentioned leaving some behind, his entire fortune was not even a fraction of what the senior had.

But considering the opponent's strength, it doesn't seem so surprising.

With such a large quantity of Supreme Spirit Liquid, it would be perfectly feasible to use it to acquire all the treasures up for auction here.

It just so happened that it was the son of an old friend, and another little girl was being taken care of by her mother; it was all just things I did on a whim.

Although the amount of Supreme Spirit Liquid left behind was not much, it was more than enough for their needs.

With Xiao Se backing them up, nothing else went wrong.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Lin Jing... What's your name?"

Having secured the chalcedony at the auction, the girl in men's clothing, while relieved, also realized that if she hadn't known the man's name, she wouldn't have been able to return it.

"Xiao Se."

He simply took a sip of tea, but the three people beside him, once they realized what was happening, were completely unable to calm down.

"...Could it be that Xiao Se?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Jing subconsciously twirled a strand of hair that was hanging down at her temple and murmured to herself.

"If you're talking about the desolation of the Endless Fire Domain, then that's me."

Xiao Se looked up, noticing the three's slightly strange reactions: "You've heard of me?"

"How could I not have heard of it!"

For some reason, Lin Jing suddenly became excited: "The imperial prince born at the beginning of the rise of the Endless Fire Domain, the peerless genius born with the Heavenly Venerable, the King of Dawn and Dusk who conquered Sumeru, the strongest person below the Empress who defeated Maha You at a young age, and who swept through the Demon Domain and suppressed countless evil races, who wouldn't recognize you if your name was mentioned?!"

"...Am I that famous?"

Lin Jing's rapid-fire reactions made Xiao Se blink involuntarily.

"Well... although a large part of it is just exaggerated rumors."

Mu Chen added, while also feeling somewhat embarrassed, as he hadn't expected that this woman's old friend was this person.

"—It's all because of you that every time my dad urges me to cultivate properly, he talks about how Xiao Se of the Endless Fire Domain is so amazing at such a young age—I'm so tired of hearing it!"

Lin Jing sat down in front of Xiao Se with extremely complicated feelings, and said with a mix of emotions and resentment, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have run away this time."

"...I never knew I would become the kind of child my mother always talked about."

Xiao Se shrugged: "But if we're talking about it this way, if you're surnamed Lin and have some knowledge of the Endless Fire Domain, then your father was that Martial Ancestor, right?"

Lin Jing was taken aback, not expecting that she would be exposed so quickly.

"You figured that out already?"

"It's more like you weren't hiding anything at all."

Xiao Se continued to sip his tea, causing Lin Jing to blush: "So you deliberately teased me at the gate in the first place?!"

"No, not at all. It was my mother who asked me to help you out. Since it's worth it for my mother to speak up for you, it's quite easy to guess the connection between the Endless Fire Domains."

"Wait a minute—Mother."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing merely frowned and murmured a single, deliberate word.

"Oh no, oh no, this is terrible!"

In an instant, she jumped up from her seat, wanting to escape from the private room without thinking.

"I'll owe you the Supreme Spiritual Liquid for now, but I'll have to take my leave... Ouch!"

Lin Jing didn't bother to explain anything. She opened the door to the private room and was about to rush out when a slender, fair hand pulled her back.

"You've gone this far this time, letting me throw a tantrum. Where do you want to go next?"

A cool, aloof woman in a white dress grabbed her and pulled her back. Behind her were two other beautiful women, each with a different kind of charm, but their faces showed a hint of schadenfreude.

"Cough cough cough! Mother, you've come to pick me up?"

Seeing that the parents in charge had already come knocking, Lin Jing chuckled awkwardly, thinking she was just having bad luck. She immediately changed her tune, but Ling Qingzhu tapped her forehead and gently pushed her.

"—Help? If I hadn't been secretly watching over you the whole way, do you think your clumsy cross-dressing would have fooled anyone? And how far could you have gone?"

Hearing her own silly daughter still pretending to be stupid, Ling Qingzhu was both annoyed and amused. Not to mention that there was someone else's good child here, which made her even more speechless.

"Mother, Aunt."

Xiao Se stood up silently, not caring about Lin Jing at the moment.

Before he could say anything more, he saw his mother give him a wink, seemingly pointing something at the mother and daughter who were at the Martial Realm.

Xiao Se naturally understood and greeted Ling Qingzhu.

"Oh, it's Xiao Se. As expected of the emperor's son, he's young and promising, much more well-behaved than my naughty daughter."

Seeing the desolation on Ling Qingzhu's face, the helplessness on her face melted away a bit, and she kept praising him.

"I think it's just so-so..."

Lin Jing muttered to herself.

"Ok?"

"I didn't say anything! Mother, you two can talk it out!"

Ling Qingzhu gave her daughter a disapproving look. No matter how good someone else's child is, they are still someone else's child. A greeting is enough; there's nothing to talk about.

No matter how much I say, haven't I still accompanied her on this long journey?
On the contrary, the one on the other side...

"Thank you for helping my daughter out of that situation earlier, young man."
