After All, They Are the Protagonists

Mu Zhi'an kneaded Bai Ruoxi's cool and smooth slender hands while holding a teacup, as if he was thinking about something.

Beside her, Bai Ruoxi bit her lower lip lightly, but unlike the arrogance she showed two days ago, she did not break away from Mu Zhian's palm, but just glanced at Mu Zhian secretly, and then her body relaxed slowly .

After a long silence, Bai Ruoxi raised her eyes slightly, and said in a soft voice, "Master Mu, how are you thinking about the Bai family's affairs?"

Enjoying the beauty's slender hands like jade, Mu Zhian came back to his senses after hearing the words, thought for a moment, and smiled: "I have to think about it again."

Bai Ruoxi was uncharacteristically, she just said "um" softly, and didn't ask again and again like before.

Mu Zhi'an also noticed the weirdness, so he couldn't help but look at Bai Ruoxi a few more times.

The girl pursed her lips slightly. When she was sitting on the chair, she put her breasts lightly on the table and twisted a cup of tea with her fingers. Two wisps of fine hair fell on her delicate and flawless face, setting off her beautiful face.

It's just that there seems to be a trace of sadness between Xiumei's eyebrows that she didn't have before.

Mu Zhi'an stretched out his hand and gently brushed away the hair on Bai Ruoxi's forehead, and said with a smile, "Miss Bai, what troubles do you have?"

Bai Ruoxi glanced at Mu Zhi'an quietly, but said nothing.

"Oh...is it because of the Bai family's affairs?" Mu Zhi'an laughed dumbfoundedly.

It seemed like I was asking a meaningless question.

It seems that Bai Ruoxi's biggest worry now is the dangerous situation of the Bai family.

Bai Ruoxi shook her head lightly, put down her teacup lightly, and said, "Although Ruoxi's troubles are related to the Bai family, they may be different from what Young Master Mu thinks."

She recalled the scene where her mother tried her every now and then in the past two days. Every night, the beautiful woman would come to talk to her daughter, lamenting the decline of the Bai family, and hinting that she had gone to ask Mu Zhi'an earlier about how she was thinking.

It was also because of her mother's repeated urging in the past two days that Bai Ruoxi had no choice but to visit the Bai family again this morning.

And this is why Bai Ruoxi is so worried at this moment.

Mu Zhi'an took a deep look at Bai Ruoxi, and said with a smile: "It seems that Miss Bai doesn't want to explain the cause of her troubles for the time being, but it's okay, let's talk about it when I want to."

Bai Ruoxi raised her head slightly to look at Mu Zhi'an, and said softly: "Master Mu, is there really no way to help the Bai family?"

"I have already mentioned the bargaining chip to help the Bai family." Mu Zhi'an smiled.

"Tongmai Wan..." Bai Ruoxi repeated it over and over, lowering her eyes slightly, her beautiful eyes seemed a little dim.

She suddenly raised her head and said softly, "Could it be that I can't—"

Mu Zhian lightly placed his fingers on Bai Ruoxi's lips, and under her slightly widened beautiful eyes, he smiled and shook his head: "Miss Ruoxi, you are a human being and should not be used as a bargaining chip."

If it was Wei Mengrou, the maid who knew Mu Zhi'an very well, she would probably curl her lips in disdain at this moment, thinking that you just want Tongmai Wan and want to prostitute Bai Ruoxi for free, why are you talking so grandly?

But Bai Ruoxi was obviously taken aback.

She recalled what her mother had said to herself in the past few days, and then thought of Mu Zhian's words now, she was a little choked up for a while, her beautiful eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of mist.

One is a dude who used to make a bad impression, and the other is his own biological mother, but the words they say are very different.

That's right... Think carefully about what Mu Zhi'an said before, she only makes his heart flutter, but not the Mu family's heart.

In other words, Mu Zhi'an has always regarded her as a "person" rather than a traded item, on the contrary, he has always misunderstood her without authorization.

Thinking of this, Bai Ruoxi sighed inwardly, and lowered her head slightly.

Obviously half a month ago, she was very disgusted with Mu Zhian's pursuit, especially when she saw the flattering look of the other party every time she saw her, she felt inexplicably disgusted, but for some reason, she is not so disgusted now Mu Zhi is safe.

When thinking of this, Bai Ruoxi gave Mu Zhi'an a complicated look.

She still doesn't know the reason for this... Is it because she asked Mu Jia, or did she have a different impression of him?

Mu Zhi'an naturally didn't know what Bai Ruoxi was thinking, he glanced casually outside the curtain, then turned his head to look at the girl beside him, and said, "Miss Bai, can you go to Xiao Er to come over and exchange some tea? I want to drink some tea instead."

Bai Ruoxi suddenly came back to her senses, said "Mmm" reservedly, got up and left the tea room.

The tea room returned to silence, Mu Zhian looked away, and brewed tea in the tea room by himself.

Then, he picked up the third cup, poured the tea, put it on the table, and said with a smile, "Why don't you come out for a cup of tea?"

"You come to me, you should have something important to talk about? Why don't you hurry up and talk about it now."

After a moment of silence in the tea room, the curtain outside was lifted by a man in black robe, his gaze swept across the tea room, and his eyes fixed on Mu Zhi'an.

He quietly walked into the tea room, and sat opposite him under Mu Zhian's gesture.

"Young Master Mu is really in a good mood. He went to Jiaofang to sleep with the oiran, and soon after he slept with the oiran, he hooked up with the number one beauty in Tianxuan City. Such a method is really enviable to men."

The man in black robe said lightly with a bit of admiration and a bit of sarcasm.

This is called dual-threaded operation... Mu Zhian put down his teacup calmly, and said, "If you have anything important to say, just talk about it. Bai Ruoxi will be back later."

The black-robed man nodded slightly, and said: "Two days later, please ask Master Mu to find a way to lure Ye Yu to Longshou Forest. As for the rest, I can handle it myself, and Miss Bai will belong to you completely." gone."

Longshou Forest is located on the west side of Profound Sky City. If you leave the city tens of kilometers away, you will see a forest, and that is Dragonshou Forest.

The reason why it is called the dragon head is said to be that when a monk looked down from the sky, he found that the overall shape of the forest looked like a dragon's head, hence the name.

Because there are many monsters in Longshou Forest and the area is huge, it is indeed the least likely to be noticed by bringing Ye Yu to Longshou Forest.

"Master Mu, how are you thinking?" the man in black asked again.

I'm the girl I picked up by myself, why do you speak like it's your credit...

Mu Zhian came back to his senses, smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will find a way to bring Ye Yu to Longshou Forest in the next two days."

The black-robed man showed satisfaction in his eyes, nodded and said: "Master Mu is a smart man, so I won't disturb your elegant mood."

After all, he turned into a burst of black mist and disappeared into the tea room.

Muzhi An leisurely picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and then pouted.

That guy, really think him an idiot?

What he said so nicely, take Ye Yu to Longshou Forest, and then he will take care of the rest...

It sounds very worry-free, but what if the opponent takes Ye Yu away and comes back with a wave of backstabs?

On the day Ye Yu was taken away, there might be news that "Mu Zhi'an brought Ye Yu into Longshou Forest and then left alone" from Tianxuan City.

At that time, the news that Ye Yu, who is a genius, disappeared because of Mu Zhi'an will definitely cause dissatisfaction in the Ye family.

Even if the Ye family is not as good as before, the pressure of public opinion will be on the Ye family's side, and even the Mu family will inevitably lose some benefits.

Just as Mu Zhian was thinking about these things, Bai Ruoxi lifted the curtain outside the tea room, walked in slowly with a teapot in hand, and sat beside Mu Zhian.

She glanced around, seemed to notice the strangeness, and said softly, "Someone came here just now?"

No matter how you say it, Bai Ruoxi is also a cultivator in the Qi training state, so she can't even detect this clue.

Part of the reason why she let Mu Zhian hold her hand just now was to cooperate with him.

Mu Zhian made a "hmm" and immediately changed the subject: "I'm a bit thirsty, can you make me a cup of tea first?"

He wasn't sure if the man in black had left, and it wasn't suitable to talk about anything serious now.

Bai Ruoxi's beautiful eyes twinkled slightly, and she glanced at Mu Zhi'an.

When the two looked at each other, Bai Ruoxi seemed to understand something, glanced outside the door inadvertently, and then gave a soft "hmm".

It seems that the person who just peeped outside the tea room may not have left yet...

Mu Zhi'an watched Bai Ruoxi's graceful movements while making tea, and couldn't help showing a gentle smile.

That man in black seems to be a little too good at taking credit.

What does the girl I picked up have anything to do with him?

A condescending face, as if he gave all of this to himself... Who is he?

When Mu Zhi'an thought of this, Bai Ruoxi had already made tea and was about to put down the teapot.

At this time, Mu Zhi'an suddenly pressed a hand gently on Bai Ruoxi's jade hand.

Bai Ruoxi subconsciously looked at Mu Zhian, saw him smiled and said, "I'm a little tired, please pour me a cup of tea."

Bai Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and finally gave a soft "um", lifted a strand of hair that had slipped from her ear, and said softly, "Okay."

Chapter 12 The wicked have their own grind

Mu Zhian took a sip of hot tea in the tea room, and after chatting with Bai Ruoxi for a few words, they left the tea room together.

Walking on a relatively remote street in Tianxuan City, Bai Ruoxi glanced around, and immediately said: "Master Mu, may I take the liberty to ask, who is that person who was eavesdropping outside just now?"

"Gongsun's family... or the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce?" Bai Ruoxi asked.

With the power of the Mu family in Tianxuan City, few people have the guts to secretly eavesdrop on Mu Zhian's conversation with other people. The only possibility is the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce or the Gongsun family.

After all, with Bai Ruoxi and the Mu's family walking so close these past few days, the two families were probably afraid that the Mu family would intervene in the middle of saving the Bai family.

Two days ago, the Gongsun family also leaked the news, trying to get Ye Yu to spoil the situation.

Mu Zhi'an shook his head: "It's not the Gongsun family, nor the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce. He should be from a force outside Tianxuan City. I don't know who he is now."

Bai Ruoxi frowned inadvertently, and said softly: "In this case, why did the other party eavesdrop on us..."

Mu Zhi'an smiled, and said, "Probably because I want to see if I have that kind of thought about you."

Bai Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, puzzled and said, "Do you have any thoughts about me, and what's the difference?"

Whether Mu Zhian likes her or not, logically speaking, it should not be in the way of others... How could someone deliberately eavesdrop on their conversations to understand such things?

Thinking of this, Bai Ruoxi looked at Mu Zhi'an again in a complicated way.

From the day when she met him in the carriage, she felt that this young man seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, making him elusive.

She didn't know how Mu Zhi'an looked at her...whether he liked her as much as before.

The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to know, but Mu Zhian always kept a certain distance from her, and just had a little intimate contact with her in the tea room...but that's all, she still couldn't see Understand Mu Zhian.

"There is a difference, and a big difference."

Mu Zhian strolled leisurely on this remote street, and said, "The deeper my obsession with you, the easier it is for me to take advantage of you."

Bai Ruoxi tilted her head slightly, with a look of doubt in her eyes.

Mu Zhian shook his head lightly, and said with a smile: "There is no need to ask more about this matter, anyway, it has nothing to do with you."

"Compared to this, what we need to do now is to find a way to get in touch with Gongsun Zan and see if we can get something out of him."

"Miss Bai has a lot of friends in Profound Sky City, do you know what Gongsun Zan likes?" Mu Zhi'an asked.

Bai Ruoxi glanced at Mu Zhi'an inadvertently, and said softly, "Woman."
