Xiao family, Xun'er courtyard.
"Miss." Ling Ying knelt on one knee in front of Xun'er and said respectfully.
"Mr. Ling, where have you been?" Xun'er tilted her head to glance at Ling Ying and said in a cold voice.
"Please forgive me, young lady. I just took the initiative to test Master Xiao Se."
Hearing this, a trace of anger and slight worry flashed across Xun'er's beautiful eyes, "What did you find out?"
"His cultivation level is at least that of a Fighting Master. His soul perception is very strong, and it seems that he is even stronger than the alchemists of the same level. Now that I have suppressed his cultivation level to that of a Great Fighting Master, I can't do anything to him in close combat." Ling Ying reported truthfully.
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Ying continued to ask: "Miss, it seems that Master Xiao Se is leaving Wutan City again. It is very likely that he will not come back next time. Do you want to go and meet him?"
In the VIP room on the top floor of Miter Auction House, Xiao Se was saying goodbye to Ya Fei and Hai Bodong.
"Hai Lao, Sister Yafei, we will see each other later." Xiao Se bowed.
"Little brother Xiao Se, sister is really looking forward to you winning the championship in the Alchemist Conference in ten months." To Xiao Se's surprise, Ya Fei stepped forward and hugged Xiao Se in her arms.
Feeling the softness of Yafei's delicate body and the faint body fragrance she exuded, Xiao Se's old face flushed slightly, and he reflexively hugged the former's beautiful waist that was coveted by countless male compatriots in Wutan City and even the imperial capital.
The moment his arm touched Yafei's waist, Xiao Se clearly felt Yafei's delicate body suddenly stiffen for a moment, and then instantly return to softness.
"Sister Yafei, don't you know that this can easily lead to misunderstandings?" Xiao Se patted Yafei on the back and smiled helplessly.
Hearing this, Ya Fei's pretty face flushed. After a moment's hesitation, she gently released Xiao Se's embrace and scolded him with a smile, "Go away. You're actually taking advantage of me."
Hai Bodong, who was standing by, watched the farce of the two people. A gleam of light flashed in his old eyes. After a moment, he cleared his throat and asked, "Is it okay if I don't go? What if that person comes back?"
Xiao Se smiled and shook his head, saying, "I think you can see that the man is just testing me. Since he has attacked me once, he will not attack me a second time. Besides, once I enter the Monster Mountain Range, even a Dou Zong will not be able to find me."
Hai Bodong nodded slightly and said, "In that case, we will meet at the Alchemist Conference. I am also looking forward to seeing what level you can grow to by then."
"Yeah." After saying goodbye to Hai Bodong and Ya Fei, Xiao Se left the auction house.
There are still more than ten months left until the Alchemist Conference. Canaan College's annual enrollment has passed this year. Xiao Se learned from Xiao Yu that the next enrollment will be after the Alchemist Conference, and he can then register directly in the Imperial Capital.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to stay in Wutan City and practice as usual during this period, so he set out on the journey to the Warcraft Mountains again.
After all, the Warcraft Mountains do not only have the cave containing the remnants of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave, there may be other relics as well. With the help of his X-ray Eyes, while practicing, he can focus on searching for opportunities in those seldom visited places.
Walking on the main road of Wutan City, passing through the bustling downtown area, not far from the city gate of Wutan City, Xiao Se saw a person who was somewhat unexpected to him.
This is a girl of the same age as Xiao Se, with delicate facial features, thin lips, curved eyebrows, and a pair of black eyes that are clear and transparent, without a trace of impurities, as if they can speak. Her skin is whiter than snow, and she is wearing a lavender dress. Her delicate face and fair neck are flawless, not even a trace of mosquito bites, just like a person in a painting. It is hard to imagine how stunningly beautiful she will be when she grows up.
At this moment, the girl's two slender white jade hands were behind her back. Seeing Xiao Se coming towards her, a gentle smile appeared on her beautiful fair face, and she said with a smile: "Cousin Xiao Se, long time no see."
"Uh" Xiao Se pulled the corner of his mouth. What kind of wind is this woman blowing? He didn't touch his brother Xiao Yan, so why is he always staring at Xiao? "Miss Xun'er, what's the matter?"

"Cousin Xiao Se seems to dislike Xun'er. Did Xun'er do something wrong?" Xiao Se's indifference did not seem to surprise Xiao Xun'er. She slowly walked in front of Xiao Se, pouted her lips, and said with some dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Xiao Se rolled his eyes fiercely, thinking to himself, "Don't you have any idea what you did?" Then he smiled faintly and said, "Miss Xun'er, you are joking. You are the daughter of the Xiao family, a genius second only to Xiao Yan. You are admired by almost all the men in the Xiao family. I just don't want to bear the strange looks that shouldn't be there because of being misunderstood. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
As he spoke, Xiao Se avoided Xiao Xun'er and walked straight out of the city gate.
Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er lowered her head, her hair hanging down, her eyes covered by shadows. At the moment when Xiao Se's figure intersected with hers, she suddenly stretched out her right hand and gently grasped the corner of his sleeve. She raised her head, with tears in her beautiful eyes, and choked with sobs in her voice, "Xun'er, let me see you off!"
Seeing Xun'er looking like she was abandoned by her boyfriend, Xiao Se raised his eyebrows, but finally softened his heart and nodded slightly.
The two walked side by side on the street. Out of consideration for Xun'er's feelings, Xiao Se kept the same pace as her and deliberately slowed down his pace.
"Miss Xun'er, please just tell me what you have to say." Xiao Se said calmly.
"Cousin Xiao Se, are you planning to go out and gain experience again?" Xun'er asked softly, trying to keep a smile on her pretty face.
"Yeah." Xiao Se nodded slightly.
"Will you return to Wutan City?" Xun'er continued to ask.
"It's hard to say." Xiao Se gave an ambiguous answer.
Xun'er nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and was about to say something else when Xiao Se's voice sounded in her ears again, "Miss Xun'er, we have reached the city gate. I will send you there."
As he spoke, Xiao Se quickened his pace and walked straight out of the gate of Wutan City.
Looking at Xiao Se's receding back, Xun'er sighed softly, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and quickly returned to the Xiao family mansion.
Standing in the pavilion, Xun'er said anxiously, "Mr. Ling, please come out."
"Miss, please speak." As Xun'er finished speaking, Ling Ying instantly appeared in front of her, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully.
"Do you still remember why I asked you to check on your cousin Xiao Se when you were six years old?" Xun'er asked in a daze.
Ling Ying shook his head and said, "Ling Ying doesn't know. At that time, Master Xiao Se had not yet returned to the Xiao family. Miss seemed to know about Xiao Se as if she had foreseen it, and then asked me to check it out. I also felt a little strange, but after I checked it out, you acted as if you didn't care at all."
Xun Er nodded slightly and continued, "I always feel that some of my memories from the age of four to six are very vague, as if I have forgotten something. Do you remember what happened specifically? Or did you find anything unusual?"
Hearing this, Ling Ying was slightly stunned, and then said in surprise: "Hearing what the young lady said, this old servant has some impression that there was a period of time when the young lady seemed to have become a different person, just like..."
"Just like what?" Xun'er's face changed, she raised her pretty face and stared at Ling Ying, and asked.
Ling Ying hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Just like a boy"
