So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Mu Zhian was squeezing Bai Ruoxi's cool and smooth slender hands while holding the tea cup, looking like he was thinking about something.

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

After being silent for a long time, Bai Ruoxi raised her eyes slightly and said in a soft voice:

"Master Mu, how have you considered the Bai family's affairs?"

While enjoying the beauty's delicate jade-like hands, after hearing this, Mu Zhian came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "I have to think about it again."

Uncharacteristically, Bai Ruoxi just said "yes" softly and did not make repeated requests as before.

Mu Zhian also noticed the strangeness and couldn't help but look at Bai Ruoxi a few more times.

The girl pursed her lips slightly and sat on the chair with her breasts gently placed on the table, twirling a cup of tea between her fingers. Two strands of thin hair fell on her delicate and flawless face, setting off her beautiful and beautiful face.

However, there seemed to be a hint of sadness between her beautiful eyebrows that she had never seen before.

Mu Zhian reached out and gently brushed Bai Ruoxi's hair away from her forehead, and said with a smile, "Miss Bai, are you worried about anything?"

Bai Ruoxi glanced at Mu Zhian quietly but said nothing.

"Oh... is it because of the Bai family's affairs?" Mu Zhian laughed dumbly.

It seems like I asked a meaningless question.

Bai Ruoxi's biggest worry now seems to be the dangerous situation of the Bai family.

Bai Ruoxi shook her head gently, put down the teacup gently, and said, "Although Ruoxi's troubles are related to the Bai family, I'm afraid they are different from what Master Mu thinks."

She recalled the scene in the past two days when her mother tested her at intervals. Every night, the beautiful woman would come to talk to her daughter, lamenting the decline of the Bai family, and hinting that she should ask Mu Zhian earlier how she was thinking.

It was also because of repeated urging from her mother 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 the moment.

Mu Zhian took a deep look at Bai Ruoxi and said with a smile: "It seems that Miss Bai doesn't want to explain the reason for her troubles at the moment, but it doesn't matter. Let's talk about it when we want to."

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

"I've already mentioned the bargaining chip to help the Bai family before." Mu Zhian said with a smile.

"Tongmai Pill...?" Bai Ruoxi repeated, lowering her eyes slightly, her beautiful eyes looking a little dim.

She suddenly raised her head and whispered: "Can't I—"

Mu Zhian gently placed his fingers on Bai Ruoxi's lips. 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 in a transaction."

If it were Wei Mengrou, the maid who knew Mu Zhian very well, she would probably curl her lips in disdain at this moment, thinking to herself, don't you just want Tongmai Pills and Bai Ruoxi for free? Why are you talking so grandly?

But Bai Ruoxi was obviously stunned for a moment.

She recalled what her mother had said to her in the past few days, and then thought of Mu Zhian's current words. She was a little choked for a moment, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist.

One was a playboy who had a very bad impression in the past, and the other was his biological mother, but the words they spoke were completely different.

Yes... Think carefully about what Mu Zhian said before, she only made his heart beat, but not the Mu family's.

In other words, Mu Zhian has always treated her as a "person" rather than an object for trade. On the contrary, he has always misunderstood her without permission.

Thinking of this, Bai Ruoxi sighed quietly in her heart 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 on his face every time he saw her, she felt inexplicably disgusted, but for some reason, she is not so disgusted now. Mu Zhian is safe.

When thinking of this, Bai Ruoxi gave Mu Zhian a complicated look.

She still doesn't know what the reason is... is it because she is seeking help from the Mu family, or is her impression of him changed?

Of course, Mu Zhian didn't know what Bai Ruoxi was thinking. He glanced outside the curtain inadvertently, then turned to look at the girl beside him and said, "Miss Bai, can you go find the waiter to exchange for tea? I I’d like to drink some tea instead.”

Bai Ruoxi suddenly came to her senses, said "hmm" reservedly, stood up and left the tea room.

The tearoom returned to silence, and Mu Zhian withdrew his gaze, minding his own business making tea in the tearoom.

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 and have a cup of tea?"

"You came to me. You must have something important to say, right? Why don't you talk about it quickly now?"

After a moment of silence in the tea room, the curtain outside was opened by a man in black robe. His eyes swept across the tea room and his eyes were fixed on Mu Zhian.

He quietly walked into the tea room and sat opposite him at Mu Zhian's signal.

"Young Master Mu is so elegant. He went to the Jiaofang Bureau to sleep with an oiran. Not long after sleeping with an oiran, he hooked up with the most beautiful woman in Tianxuan City. Such a method is really the envy of men."

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

This is called double-threaded operation... Mu Zhian put down the teacup calmly and said, "If you have anything important to do, just tell me. Bai Ruoxi will be back soon."

The black-robed man nodded gently and said, "Two days later, Master Mu, please find a way to lead Ye Yu to the Dragon Head Forest. As for the things that happen next, I can handle it myself, and Miss Bai will be completely yours."

The Dragon Head Forest is on the west side of Tianxuan City. A few dozen miles out of the city, you can see a forest, which is the Dragon Head Forest.

It is called Dragon Head because it is said that a cultivator once found that the overall shape of the forest looked like the head of a giant dragon when he looked down from the sky, hence the name.

Because there are many monsters in the Dragon Head Forest and the area is very large, it is indeed the least likely to be noticed if Ye Yu is brought to the Dragon Head Forest and then attacked.

"Master Mu, what have you considered?" the black-robed man asked again.

I picked up this girl myself, why do you talk like it's your credit... Mu Zhian came back to his senses, smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll find a way to bring Ye Yu to Longshou Forest in the next two days."

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

After that, he turned into a puff of black mist and disappeared in the tea room.

Mu Zhian picked up the teacup leisurely, drank a sip of tea, and then curled his lips.

That guy, did he really think he was an idiot?

It sounds so nice, take Ye Yu to Longshou Forest, and then he will take care of the rest...It sounds worry-free, but what if the other party takes Ye Yu away and then backstabs him?

On the day Ye Yu was taken away, it was possible that Tianxuan City would spread the news that "Mu Zhian took Ye Yu into Longshou Forest and then left alone."

By then, the news that Ye Yu, a genius, disappeared because of Mu Zhian would inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the Ye family.

Even if the Ye family is not as good as before, the public opinion pressure will stand on the side of the Ye family at that time, and even the Mu family will inevitably lose some interests.

Mu Zhian was thinking about these things. Outside the teahouse, Bai Ruoxi lifted the curtain, carried a teapot, walked in slowly, and sat next to Mu Zhian.

She glanced around and seemed to notice something strange, and whispered: "Did someone come just now?"

Bai Ruoxi was a cultivator in the Qi training realm after all, so she shouldn't be able to detect even this little clue.

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

Mu Zhian said "um", and then changed the subject: "I'm a little thirsty, can you make me a cup of tea first?"

He was not sure whether the black-robed man had left, so it was not appropriate to talk about business now.

Bai Ruoxi's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and she glanced at Mu Zhian.

When the two looked at each other, Bai Ruoxi seemed to understand something, and casually glanced outside the door, and then said "hmm" softly.

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

Mu Zhian looked at Bai Ruoxi's elegant movements when making tea, and couldn't help but smile gently.

That black-robed man seemed to be a little too good at taking credit.

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

He looked so superior, as if all this was given to him by him... Who is he?

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

At this time, Mu Zhian suddenly put one hand gently on Bai Ruoxi's jade hand.

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

Bai Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and finally said "hmm" softly, lifted a strand of hair that slipped from the ear, and said softly:

"...Okay."
