Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 1230 The Reason for the Dilemma

“… Brat.”

As a Celestial Supreme of the Immortal Rank, I don't really expect to be able to deal with a disciple who has already reached the realm above the Saint Rank.

Nevertheless, a smile still unconsciously crept onto his lips.

He didn't really care about what the brat said; otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to say it at all.

After all, it's all in the past.

Whether it was the hardships of his youth, the early death of his parents, resentment towards his family, or the fact that he was betrayed by his eldest apprentice after all his efforts, he was ultimately stabbed in the back.

Everything has shaped who I am today, and even the Dou Qi Continent has gradually become something I hardly recognize.

If it were them, they would probably think that it would be best to live a peaceful and safe life, right?

Now their wish has been fulfilled.

With past regrets made up for, family members by my side, and friends safe and happy, the unattainable next realm seems almost irrelevant in comparison.

Yao Chen stopped and let out a soft breath.

Seeing Yao Chen stop, Xiao Yan unconsciously blinked.

"teacher?"

Before Xiao Yan could say anything more, a series of slightly hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard, which were still somewhat unfamiliar to him.

"What happened, Yao Chen?"

"Shanshan, wait a moment. It's a rare opportunity for the master and disciple to catch up..."

"Hey, Xuan Yi, you don't have to keep nagging like this. We're not outsiders. Emperor Yan said we can move around freely here, right?"

"Even so—"

Amidst a cacophony of chatter, several beautiful figures came into the view of the master and his apprentice.

"Oh, Grandmaster, and your two mistresses, it's been so long, you've become even more beautiful."

Seeing that his master's wives had all arrived, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile and speak. Once he said that, he knew that things wouldn't get out of hand.

The three beauties also reacted differently to the teasing from their husbands' apprentices.

"Emperor Yan is joking..."

The beautiful woman with a graceful figure blushed slightly. Compared to the unfamiliarity of their identities, the unabashed praise from the other party made her even more embarrassed.

I'm such a grown man, how can I have the face to hear future generations say this...

"Then I must thank Emperor Yan for his kind words?"

The elegantly dressed beauty smiled and responded.

"You're quick to react, aren't you? Tell me, are you and your master up to some naughty thing?"

The beautiful woman dressed as a pharmacist stepped forward and gently poked him, laughing and scolding him.

"No, no, Grandmaster, can't you think a little better of me?"

Xiao Yan shrugged innocently.

"But you, still calling him 'Grandmaster,' I'm really impressed with you, kid."

Yao Chen shook his head. This kid seemed to be afraid that others wouldn't know about this relationship. It was really too much.

“It was my own request. You call him disciple, and he calls me grandmaster. We each have our own way of addressing each other.”

Han Shanshan looked at Yao Chen and said with a slightly amused expression.

"Alright..." "Speaking of which, what exactly are you two doing? The tea is almost boiled dry, and the chess pieces are flying everywhere."

After saying that, Han Shanshan couldn't help but turn her head and glance around the courtyard where chess pieces were scattered everywhere. It didn't look like the two of them were peacefully playing chess and brewing tea.

"Oh—this one—"

Xiao Yan was about to speak when he immediately noticed Yao Chen's murderous gaze, which made him shut his mouth in time.

"What's going on? You can't be up to something bad again, can you?"

Han Shanshan noticed that Xiao Yan's reaction was rather unusual, so she couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's just that this brat is always asking for a beating and he's never been serious. We're just teaching him a lesson."

Yao Chen chuckled and began to explain.

"--real?"

Han Shanshan's tone carried a hint of unavoidable suspicion: "He's a father now, after all. I saw Xiao Yan being quite composed when he was with Xiao Se before, wasn't he? Is it really necessary to say something like this?"

"It would be wonderful if my grandmaster could believe in me!"

Xiao Yan nodded repeatedly.

Steady... I guess so, after all, you can't be more mischievous than a child in front of them.

Xiao Yan, maintaining a slight smile on his face, murmured to himself.

"I guess so..."

Seeing that this guy had at least managed to keep his mouth shut, Yao Chen unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I was just mentioning it casually, there's no need for the teacher to get so angry, is there?"

Xiao Yan's telepathic voice then came from beside Yao Chen's ear, causing Yao Chen's lips to twitch slightly involuntarily.

'You brat, you have the nerve to say that? Do you think I'm some kind of body cultivator made of iron?'

Yao Chen muttered for a moment, somewhat speechless: 'You've made things easier for yourself now, but I'll be the one who won't have peace when I get back—'

'Oh, I see...'

Upon learning the truth, Xiao Yan nodded unconsciously, somewhat at a loss for words to express his feelings.

That makes it a very real problem.

Yao Chen's eyelids twitched slightly. Xuan Yi was naturally understanding, and at least he could persuade Shan Shan, but Jiu'er was clearly not the type he could persuade.

Although they usually get along well, it's impossible for the little fox to always eat alone.

He can't just eat the pills like candy, can he?
In short, this matter can be kept under control for now, but once it's exposed, it will be impossible to suppress it.

…………

On the other hand, the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan were clearly somewhat surprised by the Endless Fire Domain's invitation to come.

However, despite the unexpected turn of events, preparations were still underway, and everyone was filled with curiosity about the legendary Dragon-Phoenix bloodline, which had not appeared for tens of thousands of years.

However, this curiosity has subsided considerably now, so let's rely on the actual situation for now.

After all, the Endless Fire Domain is no longer what it used to be. The once young and inexperienced force now has no less than five Saint-level experts. Just a stomp of its foot can make the Great Thousand World tremble. Not to mention the illustrious reputation of the Flame Emperor and the Mysterious Empress. Even the leaders of the Dragon and Phoenix clans are both powerful experts at the late Saint-level. It's not like they can just start a fight whenever they want.

However, it is still necessary to get to know them, since these kinds of beings care most about bloodlines. If force doesn't work, there are always other ways.

Therefore, even the patriarchs of the two clans paid special attention to this matter.

"---I am indeed curious, what exactly is the nobleman planning in such a hurry?"
