So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

After comforting Ye Qian to sleep, Mu Zhian left the room and walked along the familiar path in the yard to another mansion, where he saw Ye Lingxuan sitting in front of the window sill in a daze.

As if she had noticed Mu Zhian's presence, Ye Lingxuan turned her head and looked over, confused: "It's so late, Mr. Mu, do you have anything else to do?"

"I do have something to tell you, and I want to chat with you. Is it convenient for Sister Lingxuan to open the door now?" Mu Zhian looked up and smiled.

Ye Lingxuan shook her head slightly and said, "You'd better tell me directly. I'm ready to rest."

She always felt that if Mu Zhian came in now, it would not be just a simple chat.

"I went to find Sister Qian'er tonight." Mu Zhian stared at Ye Lingxuan's face and spoke slowly.

There was no surprise on her face. It seemed that she knew about this... After Mu Zhian finished speaking, he saw Ye Lingxuan's expression without any fluctuations, and his heart was slightly clear.

"Mr. Mu went to find Qian'er, why did you come to tell me specifically?" Ye Lingxuan finally put down her hand that was supporting her cheek and stared into Mu Zhian's eyes.

Although this girl may be a novice in terms of feelings, she has a certain amount of wisdom in other aspects. If she experiences more things in the future and grows up, she will surely become very scary.

Well... scary in all senses.

Mu Zhian stared at Ye Lingxuan's lively eyes calmly and said sincerely: "I want to face you openly, but I hope I will have no guilt in the future."

"Mr. Mu went to find Qian'er late at night, and then ran to tell me about this... Is this what you call having no guilt?" Ye Lingxuan smiled lightly.

"Qian'er is a good girl, and she is very vulnerable. I'm afraid she will be unable to think about it alone and get stuck in a dead end." Mu Zhian said helplessly.

Ye Lingxuan was silent.

That's right. She can be said to have grown up with Ye Qian, and she naturally knows the character of that sister very well.

If Ye Qian was left alone in the room with her thoughts, her innocent sister might really be upset, so she hoped that Mu Zhian could go to Ye Qian to comfort her.

However, when Ye Lingxuan heard that he had gone to Ye Qian, she felt uncomfortable.

Mu Zhian glanced at the blue and white porcelain vase beside the table and the snow lotus in the vase, and felt relieved. He said, "Today's sect assessment consumed too much spiritual energy. Sister Lingxuan should be tired, so I won't bother you."

Ye Lingxuan's eyes moved slightly, and she couldn't help but look at Mu Zhian up and down.

Speaking of which, today's sect assessment of his control of the formation did consume a lot of spiritual energy... Ye Lingxuan hesitated for a moment, raised her right hand, took out a bottle of pills from the ring, and handed it to Mu Zhian from the window.

"What is this...?" Mu Zhian looked up at her, and his handsome face, which was already a little pale, seemed to have a bit more weakness under the moonlight.

When Ye Lingxuan thought that Mu Zhian became like this in order to help her and Ye Qian pass the test, the slight displeasure in her heart disappeared, and her eyebrows softened a lot, saying:

"There are probably three soul-replenishing pills in here. Master Mu, take the next one tonight, and your spiritual energy should be fully restored in the second half of the night."

The soul-replenishing pill...if I remember correctly, it should be a fifth-grade pill. Most auction houses sell it for more than 20,000 or 30,000 spirit stones, and there is still no demand...This is indeed a little rich woman.

Mu Zhian looked up at Ye Lingxuan's delicate face, and couldn't help but grab Ye Lingxuan's hands with both hands, and whispered: "Sister Lingxuan, you are so kind."

Ye Lingxuan's eyes flashed slightly, and she said reservedly: "Mr. Mu, please respect yourself."

"Are you still angry with me?" Mu Zhian sighed softly: "In fact, compared to the spirit-boosting pill, if Sister Lingxuan can change her name, it will be more helpful to my spirit."

Feeling the warmth of Mu Zhian's palm coming from her little hand, and being stared at by Mu Zhian like this, even a girl as quiet and elegant as Ye Lingxuan was a little flustered. After putting the pill into his hand, she gently pulled her hand out of his palm.

Then she turned her face away, only giving Mu Zhian a perfect side profile, and whispered:

"Mr. Mu, it's getting late, please go back."

Mu Zhian stared at Ye Lingxuan for a long time, and sighed: "Then I won't bother you for now, Lingxuan."

After that, he turned and left.

Ye Lingxuan looked at Mu Zhian's back as he left. The moonlight shone down from the sky, and his tall figure seemed a little lonely in the quiet courtyard.

Ye Lingxuan opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she slowly closed it in the end.

"...Brother Mu."

When Mu Zhian was about to leave, a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum came from the room. Then, Ye Lingxuan quickly closed the window, as if she didn't want Mu Zhian to see her expression at the moment.

Mu Zhian paused, but didn't look back. He left happily with the spirit-boosting pill.

...

In the dim night, Mu Zhian knocked on Bai Ruoxi's room and saw Bai Ruoxi meditating in front of the bed.

It seemed that because it was night, Miss Bai was wearing a loose white lingerie, which outlined an excellent body proportion, and her temperament was as bright and cold as frost and snow.

In front of Bai Ruoxi, a light ball emitting a pale white glow was slowly rotating. Its light was quite soft, transforming the mixed spiritual energy in the room into spiritual energy that could be directly absorbed into the body.

Mu Zhian slowly walked to the head of the bed and sat down beside her.

As soon as she approached, Bai Ruoxi seemed to have noticed something, her curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

She turned her head to look at her side, and didn't seem very surprised, and said: "Mu Lang, where did you go at night?"

"I went out to learn about some things in the sect. I think it will be of great help to us in the future." Mu Zhian said, and turned his head to look at the beauty beside him.

She obviously put on some makeup tonight, her lips were delicate, and under the candlelight, her pretty face, which was originally a little cold, became more charming because of those little makeup.

"What do you know?" Bai Ruoxi asked curiously.

Mu Zhian took off his robe and put it on her, and took the opportunity to embrace the beauty in his arms, saying: "It's not an important matter, don't worry about it."

Feeling the warmth of his chest, Bai Ruoxi's original intention to continue asking suddenly disappeared, raised her head and looked at him infatuatedly, her eyes were blurred, and her face was flushed like drunkenness.

Mu Zhian was not surprised by Bai Ruoxi's reaction.

Although Miss Bai usually looks unattainable and cold, you will know that she is actually a weak beauty with no sense of security after spending time with her.

It is difficult for her to resist a bold and intimate hug like Mu Zhian, let alone resist.

"You chose me today, Senior Sister Lan and the others should be very angry. Is it okay?" Bai Ruoxi's dreamy voice came to her ears, and her almond eyes were full of worry.

Mu Zhian looked down at her cold face. A beauty like Bai Ruoxi usually makes people feel cold and weak. Coupled with her enchanting talent, ordinary people would only feel ashamed in front of her.

But Mu Zhian is different. Since he entered the room, he only had the mentality of "Why should we, as cultivators, fear strong enemies?" He did not have any inferiority complex, but just wanted to suppress her so that she could show a charming look that was exactly the opposite of her usual reserve.

"Xue Lian is most similar to you. I'm just telling the truth." Mu Zhian hugged her waist, allowing her to lean completely on his arms.

"It's most similar to me, so why did Mu Lang give it to others?" Bai Ruoxi asked curiously.

"Senior sister helped us a lot in Tianxuan City in the past. Giving her precious elixir is inevitably a bribe, but Xue Lian is different." Mu Zhian said.

"What about Sister Lingxuan?"

"Sister Lingxuan was too hostile to me at the beginning. We will all be disciples from the same sect in the future, so I hope to get along with them in harmony." Mu Zhian explained.

Bai Ruoxi buried her face in Mu Zhian's arms, and pursed her lips inadvertently, as if she was unhappy.

The weakness and shyness when she was nestled in Mu Zhian's arms completely disappeared on her face.

She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. The expression on her face softened again, and she returned to her usual weak posture. She said softly:

"You have offended Senior Sister this time. If you look for her in the future, she may not pay attention to you."

"Sister Lingxuan seemed very angry at the time, and Sister Qian'er seemed to be staring at me at the time."

"Everyone is so scary, Mu Lang."

"If you encounter difficulties in the future, come to me for discussion. We work together and can always find a way to solve the difficulties."

Yes, everyone is so scary. Only Ruoxi knows how to feel sorry for Master Mu. In front of everyone, she directly declared her status as the queen, looking down on all the women...

Mu Zhian silently complained in his heart, lowered his head and stared at Bai Ruoxi's worried expression and the soft lips with rouge.

As for Lan Murian, it is really not easy to deal with.

Although it can be saved, it may take some time...

While thinking, Mu Zhian hugged Bai Ruoxi's slender waist and went to bed.

Bai Ruoxi let out a small scream, and when she reacted, she was already lying on the bed. She looked at Mu Zhian shyly, her eyes flickered shyly, and she turned her face away slightly, whispering: "Mu Lang...what are you going to do?"

"Practice." Mu Zhian said seriously.

Bai Ruoxi was stunned and puzzled: "Why do you have to lie on the bed to meditate and practice——"

Mu Zhian covered Bai Ruoxi's mouth and whispered: "Don't talk, just feel this beautiful atmosphere."

After that, he lowered his head and kissed her face, and finally moved slowly to occupy her lips.

...

In the early morning, the sky gradually brightened.

Mu Zhian lay in the quilt tiredly and contentedly, feeling the soft body of the beauty in his arms, and was about to fall asleep.

"Aaaa~"

At this time, a beautiful voice like singing suddenly came to his ears, which also woke up Bai Ruoxi, who was about to rest, almost instantly, and slightly turned his head to look outside the door.

That voice came from outside.

"...Is that a spirit dragon?" Bai Ruoxi said subconsciously.

"It's okay, let's rest for a while." Mu Zhian gently hugged Bai Ruoxi's slender waist, allowing her to get closer to him.

...

Ye Yu slowly opened his eyes.

Not only Mu Zhian, but all the disciples in the sect heard the lonely and sad song of the spirit dragon in the early morning.

Ye Yu naturally heard it too.

"Teacher, what does this spirit dragon mean?" Ye Yu tried to ask the grandfather in his body.

"It is rumored that there is a spirit dragon in the Liangyi Sect that has existed since ancient times. It prefers people with great luck and will bring great luck to disciples with great luck. If you can get its favor, it will be of great help to your future practice." The old man slowly said.

"Spirit dragon!" Ye Yu's heart was filled with a little more expectation.

After he passed the sect assessment yesterday, he had been meditating and practicing in the house, so he didn't see the trace of Linglong.

However, Ye Yu also learned from other sect disciples that Linglong appeared yesterday, and even learned that Linglong seemed to have taken a fancy to Bai Ruoxi at that time, but in the end, for some reason, it went back.

Obviously, Bai Ruoxi was not Linglong's target.

If I guessed correctly, Bai Ruoxi's great luck attracted Linglong's attention. As for why Linglong gave up on her in the end, it was probably because Bai Ruoxi could not be completely recognized by Linglong.

There were three people with great luck tested in Tianxuan City this time, but the real person with great luck... should be him.

If Linglong appeared today, it would be my chance to show off.

...

The next day.

Mu Zhian woke up early.

Not to mention that it is okay to not rest after the Refining Spirit Realm, even cultivators in the Refining Qi Realm do not need to rest for a long time at night.

Cultivators spend more time meditating, or taking a different approach, such as dual cultivation.

Mu Zhian glanced at the beauty who seemed to be still sleeping, and quietly stood up to get out of bed.

At this time, Bai Ruoxi stretched out a snow-white jade hand from the quilt, grabbed Mu Zhian's wrist, and pulled him to the head of the bed to sit down, and then leaned her white cheek on his chest, and said in a soft and pleasant voice: "Mu Lang, where are you going?"

Mingming was still aloof at the beginning of last night, but now I don’t know if she just woke up or what, Miss Bai showed a sticky attitude that made people feel excited, like a kitten trying to please her owner.

This is probably the contrast cuteness... Mu Zhian silently felt the beautiful touch brought by Bai Ruoxi's soft body, gently stroked her hair, and said: "Wasn't Linglong calling in the early morning this morning? I want to go out and see."

He and Linglong agreed to go find it two days later, but Linglong was already calling "Aaa" in the early morning this morning. I don’t know if it was impatient to wait.

It seems that I have to find a time to contact Linglong in advance.

"In a few days, the selection ceremony for the inner disciples will be held. Mulang, don't forget to meditate and practice." Bai Ruoxi reminded softly.

Mu Zhian smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I have my own plan."

After a pause, he continued, "For your place as an inner disciple, I will continue to help you in the evening."

Mu Zhian has let it go. Since the natural furnace has no amplification effect on him, and dual cultivation is only effective for one other person, he might as well help the close people around him to improve their realm first.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be rushed.

Before practicing, there is another thing to deal with early.

After Linglong's shout this morning, I'm afraid more people will go to the edge of the cliff to try their luck.

If this goes on, let alone two days, even in a few days, I'm afraid there will be no way to contact Linglong without anyone noticing.

I have to think of a way quickly... Mu Zhian hugged the beauty in his arms, feeling the greatness of human hearts, and fell into deep thought.
