Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 1244 As expected...

"In short, that's roughly the situation right now."

On the way to the ancient heavenly palace, Xiao Se explained the recent events to Xiao Xiao, who had just woken up.

"Won't the younger brother go in by himself?"

"If I go in directly, I might alert them. Since my mother said there are some troublesome people inside that need to be dealt with, it's not convenient for me to sneak in directly, otherwise it would be bad if they noticed me."

Xiao Se shook his head seriously. After learning the inside story, he obviously couldn't truly enjoy what his mother meant by relaxing.

He clearly did not inherit his mother's relaxed mindset. In his own view, that was the composure that belonged to truly strong people like his father and mother, something that he, being immature, did not possess.

"To avoid any irreparable losses, I'd better play it safe."

Xiao Xiao shook her head at Xiao Se's words, and couldn't help but reach out and squeeze his shoulder, laughing, "If they heard this, they'd probably say you're being a bit too well-behaved."

"Come to think of it, they're really quite leisurely... They're having a lot of fun themselves, while they're throwing us out here to train."

Xiao Xiao rested her chin on her hand and complained.

"My father and the others have worked so hard all these years, so it's only natural that they should relax a little during this celebration..."

Xiao Se originally wanted to defend them, but when he spoke, he couldn't help but recall the playful fights they had when they went to find them before setting off to wake up his sister.

It felt completely unlike the reactions of a father or the like.

Xiao Se didn't know whether this could be considered a filter breaking or not.

Seeing her younger brother's hesitation and the frustration written on his face, Xiao Xiao didn't think much of it.

"That's because you were born too late. Back when your parents were in the Dou Qi Continent, they... well... how should I put it."

Under her younger brother's slightly surprised gaze, Xiao Xiao didn't know how to describe it for a moment, and just scratched her cheek in slight distress.

"elder sister?"

"Anyway, back when they were in the Dou Qi Continent, if only one person was there, they would be very serious and earnest. If two people were together, they would inevitably start flirting and teasing each other. The more people there were, the more chaotic the scene would become... That's about it."

Recalling the past when she hadn't really noticed it, but now that she thought about it carefully, it made her feel a little embarrassed. Xiao Xiao coughed lightly and then explained.

"……is that so?"

Xiao Se blinked. After all, for him, being born in the final era of the Endless Fire Domain was a rather regrettable thing.

Because we failed to witness it, because we failed to understand it.

"I mean, you're putting too much of a filter on them... especially your parents. According to them, they haven't even reached the age where they're fully mature yet. And you, you're still like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old even after all these years, true to your word."

"...Is that true?"

After thinking about it, Xiao Se realized it wasn't so hard to accept after all.

"That's right... Let's go... Hey, speaking of which, where did you hear about this? News of the ancient Heavenly Palace? My parents haven't been going out much lately, have they?"

Xiao Xiao tilted her head and gazed into her younger brother's bright, dim eyes.

"Yes, she's the little princess of the Martial Realm. Lin Jing told me about her. She also came to the celebration a while ago... Sister?"

Xiao Se was about to explain when he noticed that Xiao Xiao's eyes had changed somewhat.

"...A princess from the Martial Realm?"

"Lin Jing?"

"...Who is that? When did your brother meet her? What does she look like? Do you get along well with her? Could it be that she's interested in you?"

"—Sister?" Xiao Yan blinked unconsciously as he looked at the beautiful figure that suddenly came closer.

"He said a lot all at once."

"Of course...does that even need to be said?"

Noticing her younger brother's completely unperturbed expression, Xiao Xiao suddenly paused, realizing that her reaction might not have been so strong. She subconsciously took a few steps back and coughed softly.

"He's still my brother, I can't let just any random woman kidnap him, right?"

“I’m not that easy to fool, sister.”

Xiao Se clearly felt that it wasn't as serious as her sister had described.

"That's what everyone says when they first get scammed."

Xiao Xiao clearly did not agree with Xiao Se's point of view. Instead, she crossed her arms and muttered angrily.

"Besides talking about the ancient heavenly palace, did that woman tell you anything else?"

Xiao Xiao suddenly turned around and said seriously, "For example, inviting you to visit their Martial Realm or something."

"No, but she did say that the Martial Ancestor seemed to admire me quite a bit."

Xiao Se smiled and pointed to himself, but Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. How could she be so easily hooked? But it seems that this is also related to the cause and effect of her own family members.

"That's just them playing hard to get—in short, I want to see what kind of background this little princess of the Martial Realm has."

Xiao Xiao bit her finger in slight frustration.

Although he didn't quite understand why his sister was suddenly so agitated, Xiao Se figured they would most likely run into each other in the Ancient Heavenly Palace, and he didn't want any conflict to break out between them because of it.

"If my sister really met her, she would probably like her, since she is indeed a very cheerful girl."

Xiao Se added, "But as for me, actually I still..."

The boy simply raised his dim eyes and gazed at the beauty who had unknowingly lost her childishness, but he didn't know how to say the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Xiao Xiao blinked her crimson eyes, but couldn't help but smile, a smile that was exceptionally happy.

"Okay, then I'll do as you say."

"……Um."

Seeing that her sister had changed her attitude, Xiao Se breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll be waiting outside. If anything happens to you, just call me."

"Fool, don't you trust me at all?"

Xiao Xiao chuckled and gently touched the boy's lips with her hand.

"Have more faith in your sister. At least before the trouble you mentioned comes, I can handle her."

"Okay, that's all for now. I'm leaving. Remember me!"

…………

After seeing Xiao Xiao off, Xiao Se looked at the many figures moving about in the distance.

It's only natural that the relics left behind by the former Heavenly Sovereign would be so attractive.

However, Xiao Se didn't care much about these things; he was more concerned about the trouble his mother had mentioned.
