So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Huabaofeng.

In front of the towering hall, the first one of Huabao Peak is standing high in front of the throne.

Ren Kaitai was originally the son of the Queen Mother of Dongzhou Yaochi. He joined the Liangyi Sect a hundred years ago and was appreciated by his first mentor, the first chief of Huabao Peak. Thirty years ago, he succeeded the former chief and became the new chief of Huabao Peak.

He is considered a monk with lower qualifications among several main peaks.

However, in the last sect competition, Huabaofeng was ranked in the middle of the sect, and this year their goal is to be in the top three.

This goal is not difficult.

As long as we recruit a disciple with suitable talent this time and train him well together with other disciples, it will not be difficult to shine in the sect competition.

Among the disciples in this assessment, the geniuses in Tianxuan City account for the majority... In fact, this is normal. After all, Tianxuan City is located in a favorable location and is a place of outstanding people.

However, I am afraid that all major peaks are preparing to make moves this time. If they fail to provide some appropriate "benefits", I am afraid it will be difficult to recruit promising disciples in the inner disciple selection two days later.

Huabao Peak can give you everything other main peaks can give, and Huabao Peak can also give you an exciting reward.

——The weapon spirit.

Since the establishment of Huabao Peak, there are only a few weapon spirits that have been enlightened, and they are quite precious.

But among the disciples who joined the sect this time, there were several geniuses who were worthy of being equipped with weapon spirits.

Ren Kaitai tapped his fingertips lightly on the edge of the chair, lost in thought.

At this time, the deputy leader outside the house flew lightly from outside the palace door. Ren Kaitai looked up and said with a smile: "Why do you have time to come here to see me in the palace today?"

On weekdays, Ning Shuwen spent more time refining weapons on his own, or studying the method of instilling weapon spirits. There was not much time for communication between the two leaders.

"Senior Spirit Dragon has appeared." Ning Shuwen said with a solemn face and a low voice.

Ren Kaitai smiled and said: "Senior Linglong doesn't appear once in a long time to give those sect disciples immortality... Who got the immortality this time? Bai Ruoxi, or Ye Lingxuan?"

Ning Shuwen shook his head slowly: "What I want to say is not this, but another thing."

Under the gaze of the leader of Huabao Peak, Ning Shuwen spoke again: "Senior Linglong now lives in a certain little monk's villa."

Ren Kaitai's eyes slowly solidified and he said: "Who?"

"Mu Zhian."

Ren Kaitai's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "Senior Linglong lives at his place...?"

After thinking for a moment, Ren Kaitai immediately said: "Is there anyone else who knows about this?"

"The leaders of Daofeng, Chunyang Peak and Canghai Peak are aware of this matter, but they should keep it secret for the time being."

Ren Kaitai shook his head and said: "It may not be possible to hide it. At least the library side will probably be the first to know."

Both the Library Pavilion and the Law Enforcement Hall are neutral, and the relationship between the two is quite good. Yan Ruyu rarely leaves the pavilion on weekdays, but she is aware of what is happening in the outside world.

And this is some information sent to her by the agents of the Law Enforcement Hall.

We have to take action as soon as possible... Ren Kaitai thought to himself.

Originally, the name Mu Zhian was not included in the quota for recruiting inner disciples.

But if Mu Zhian was chosen by the Spirit Dragon... the meaning would be completely different.

Looking at the leader with a thoughtful look on his face, Ning Shuwen hesitated for a moment, then said bravely: "Not long ago, the third prince went to the Liuli Palace to cause trouble... The demon measuring ruler measured the traces on Senior Linglong's body. The evil spirit is shattered."

Ren Kaitai suddenly came to his senses, raised his head suddenly, stared at the deputy chief, but did not speak for a long time.

Although the two were the chief and deputy chief, their power was so different that Ren Kaitai's gaze at this moment made the deputy chief feel tremendous pressure.

"You gave him the power to search?" Ren Kaitai stared at the deputy leader in the audience with burning eyes.

"I just think that if it is really a demon cultivator, there will be no loss for us if caught. But who knows...Senior Spirit Dragon will live there."

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Ning Shuwen's forehead, and he quickly added: "You can rest assured, Chief, Mu Zhian did not take the opportunity to complain. He only caused trouble for Ning Long."

Hearing this, the leader with great power in the Liang Yi Sect softened his expression a little and said: "This disciple is really good at behaving... You should prepare yourself in the next two days and take out two enlightened weapons from the arsenal. Weapons to prepare for the selection of inner disciples in two days.”

When it comes to magical weapons, no main peak can provide more and more luxury than their Huabao Peak.

"Two handfuls...?"

Ning Shuwen hesitated for a moment and said: "The first one, our main peak, doesn't only recruit one inner disciple? Could it be... who else do you have your eye on?"

When he said this, he seemed to think of a name: "Mu Zhian?"

Seeing Ren Kaitai nodded slightly, Ning Shuwen said doubtfully: "But isn't Mu Zhian a disciple of Canghai Peak?"

After conducting the sect assessment at Canghai Peak, one will naturally be a disciple of Canghai Peak, unless he is selected by the top of other main peaks in the inner sect disciple selection two days later.

Ren Kaitai slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be better to dig him over?"

"It has been more than thirty years since I succeeded to the throne of Huabao Peak and I have never made a mark. This time, it is time to recruit some fresh blood."

The top three in the sect competition a few years later will receive a large amount of resources from the Presbyterian Council, and the top three will also receive an immortal fate.

It is worth paying some price for this fairy fate.

…

"Senior Lin Ling, this is the tenderest piece of meat from the Babao Crane. Eat more of it."

Mu Zhian returned to the villa, immediately prepared the stewed crane soup, and took the lead in bringing it into Linglong's room.

Although Linglong didn't say anything this time, he didn't even do anything to help, but he made a great contribution.

The shadow of the famous tree, a being like Spirit Dragon, does not even need to take the initiative to help Mu Zhian. As long as she stands there, even if she does not speak, she will make the leaders and elders in the sect feel awe from the bottom of their hearts. .

"Senior is really in trouble this time. If it weren't for you, Ruoxi's side might really be in trouble." Mu Zhian looked at Lin Ling, whose expression showed no change, and continued to speak.

Lin Ling held the bowl in both hands and sipped the crane soup, feeling the wonderful taste buds filling her mouth.

She raised her finger and wrote on the table: "It tastes great, there is progress."

Mu Zhian smiled and said: "After all, this is the second time to prepare ingredients like Babaohe for seniors, so some progress is normal."

When he said this, he changed the topic and said: "Senior, it seems that every time Ruoxi is promoted to a level, a trace of demonic energy will leak out. Is there a solution?"

The higher Bai Ruoxi's realm is, the more the three-tailed fox's bloodline will be awakened. Although it has been reported to the sect, the general environment is like this. If possible, it is best for others not to know about this matter.

Lin Ling thought for a moment and wrote on the table: "The nine-tailed fox will not be noticed by others."

"It's too difficult to be promoted to Nine-tailed Fox..." Mu Zhian said with a helpless smile.

By the time Bai Ruoxi becomes a nine-tailed fox, I'm afraid she will have already reached enlightenment or even the Hedao realm... By then, she won't have to worry about exposing her demonic aura at all.

When he said this, he secretly observed Lin Ling a few times.

She was holding a bowl at this time. She looked indifferent and her profile was flawless. She was just staring at the crane soup in the bowl with bright eyes, as if nothing could cause her to have emotional fluctuations.

Mu Zhian suddenly reached out and grabbed the bowl in Lin Ling's hand, trying to take it away.

Lin Ling turned her head slightly to look at Mu Zhian and tilted her head slightly: "Aaaa?"

It sounds a bit like saying: Little brother, are you drifting?

As expected, this lady from the Spiritual Dragon is very protective of food... Mu Zhian smiled and said, "It's okay, I just wanted to ask senior if he would like another bowl of soup made by the Eight Treasure Crane."

There was a glint in Lin Ling's eyes, and she pecked her head with "Aaa".

Well...it's obvious that Lin Ling doesn't care about anything, at least she still cares about food.

Mu Zhian had a deeper understanding of this mysterious spiritual dragon in the eyes of outsiders.

After leaving the room and serving another bowl of crane soup for Lin Ling, Mu Zhian served another bowl of crane soup to Wei Mengrou, and then took the opportunity to leave Tianhe Garden and visit the Bieyuan where the Ye family sisters lived.

After entering the Villa, after walking dozens of steps, I saw Ye Lingxuan sitting in the courtyard drinking hot tea in the afternoon. She was holding a book in her hand. Under the sun, her snow-white skin seemed to be dyed with a layer of warmth. gloss.

Beside Ye Lingxuan, the innocent and lovely Ye Qian was sitting on the edge, lying on the table with her head tilted and looking at her sister. Her towering breasts were pressed on the table to take a rest, and a small section of her snow-white calf was exposed under her skirt. , the feet wearing light blue embroidered shoes are dangling.

"Lingxuan, Qian'er." Mu Zhian shouted, showing a sunny smile.

Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Qian's eyes lit up slightly. He raised his head and looked at the young man standing not far away, and shouted softly: "Brother Mu!"

Ye Lingxuan was much more reserved, maintaining her usual elegance, as proud as a white swan, straightening her back, staring at him with sparkling eyes, and shouted: "Mr. Mu."

Brother Mu in private, Young Master in public, this girl Lingxuan is really too proud... Mu Zhian walked up to the two of them and sat down with a smile on his face.

Then, he took out two bowls of sealed crane soup from the Najie, placed it on the table, and said, "Have a try, I personally cooked this for you."

Ye Lingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she glanced at Mu Zhian subconsciously: "Eight Treasure Crane...?"

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Drink it while it's hot. Maybe you'll have a chance to advance to a higher level today."

"Brother Mu, are you planning to go back?" Ye Qian saw that Mu Zhian was still not seated, and immediately noticed what he was thinking, and was a little disappointed for a moment.

Mu Zhian gently rubbed Ye Qian's head and said softly: "After drinking the soup made by the Eight Treasure Crane, with your current state, there will be signs of breakthrough soon without any accident, and you will be the inner sect immediately. It’s the disciple selection ceremony, and preparation is the most important thing.”

"As for me..."

Mu Zhi settled down for a moment, and when Ye Qian raised his head and looked up, he showed a kind and gentle smile like a big brother next door, and said softly: "Can Brother Mu still run away?"

Being stared at by Mu Zhian so intensely and feeling the warmth brought by his palms, Ye Qian lowered her eyes slightly shyly, and then said "hmm" in a small voice.

Mu Zhian looked at his sister who was sitting beside him again. Ye Lingxuan just looked at him and then quickly withdrew her gaze as if she was electrocuted. Her expression seemed calm, but it seemed to contain something she had never seen in the past. Some mixed emotions.

"I'm going back first, Lingxuan." Mu Zhian's voice came to his ears.

Ye Lingxuan raised his head slightly, and met Mu Zhian's affectionate gaze. A small ripple appeared in Gu Jing's calm state of mind.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-feed', placement: 'Below Article Feed', target_type: 'mix' });

"If you don't want to leave, Brother Mu can stay with you." Mu Zhian continued to transmit the message, this time with a somewhat joking tone.

"Stop making such jokes... Mr. Mu, please come back!"

Ye Lingxuan gave Mu Zhian an angry look, but in addition to resentment, there was a hint of charming affection in his eyes.

And the original complexity in my heart seemed to be gradually filled with some kind of warmth.

…

After returning to Tianhe Garden, Mu Zhian walked into a nearby pavilion and saw a cold beauty with a simple, elegant and intellectual temperament.

The background is a colorful grassland. Bai Ruoxi is wearing a plain White House dress, with her plump breasts standing out from the crowd of girls, holding a book in her hand and reading carefully.

Her hair was simply pulled up with hostas, and the strands of hair were hanging down, which also added a bit of lazy fireworks.

Cold and weak, like a reclusive young lady.

Bai Ruoxi was cold and unattainable in front of outsiders. Only in front of Mu Zhian did the young lady show her weak side.

With her breasts so big, can she really read the words on the scroll... Mu Zhian shouted, "Ruoxi."

Then, he brought two bowls of crane soup and came to Bai Ruoxi's side.

Bai Ruoxi's bright and clear eyes, as bright as a cold pool, couldn't help but reveal tenderness when she saw the noble young master approaching. She stared intently, expressing her admiration, but she did not speak, retaining the reserve of a jade beauty.

Girls are reserved. Even if they have practiced double cultivation several times, they will still be shy in broad daylight, let alone a beauty like Bai Ruoxi who has been trained in various etiquette since childhood.

"What are you reading?" Mu Zhian glanced at the scroll in Bai Ruoxi's hand and asked in confusion.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ruoxi reacted and seemed a little flustered. She quickly hid the book behind her back, then pretended that nothing happened, shook her head and said with a smile: "It's just a book to kill time when you are tired from meditating and practicing. It's not worth mentioning."

It's not worth mentioning why you hid it so closely, for fear of being seen by me... Mu Zhian looked at the book behind Bai Ruoxi suspiciously, and then smiled and said: "Since you don't want to talk about it, forget it, try this crane soup." Well, Senior Yi Hao only raised a dozen of them in total, and he cherished each one very much."

"There will probably be no such opportunity to eat the Eight Treasure Crane in the future." Mu Zhian continued.

Bai Ruoxi nodded slightly, first quietly hid the scroll in the ring, and then picked up the Eight Treasure Crane Soup and drank it gracefully.

Mu Zhian looked at this cold beauty suspiciously, feeling that something was not right about Bai Ruoxi's expression.

He didn't look carefully when he first arrived, but now he realized that Bai Ruoxi's face seemed to have a faint blush, which was quite attractive.

Apparently, it must be related to the book she just read.

However, everyone has some secrets that they don't want others to know, and Mu Zhian doesn't intend to get to the bottom of it.

He also picked up the crane soup and enjoyed this luxurious lunch.

After drinking the crane soup, Mu Zhian sat next to the girl. After being intimate with her for a while, Bai Ruoxi suddenly said with a bit of joy in her voice: "I seem to be about to break through to the first level of refining the gods."

When she said this, her smart eyes looked straight at Mu Zhian, as if waiting for his exclamation.

"Ruoxi is so awesome." Mu Zhian really praised him.

Bai Ruoxi's brows relaxed a lot, but she proudly raised her white chin and pretended to calmly say "hmm".

"So-so."

She even pretended to be with me... Mu Zhian gently slapped the beauty's perky buttocks.

The cold and weak beauty gave him a squeak, looked at him as if reproachfully, and said, "What are you doing~?"

He looked angry, but more of a shy person.

Mu Zhian smiled and said nothing.

So what if he is a second-grade God Refiner, he still raises his hand to suppress it!

"But at this juncture, it's okay to be promoted to the second level of God Refining, right?" Bai Ruoxi suddenly asked worriedly.

The third prince had just arrived with great fanfare not long ago, and now his promotion is likely to have demonic aura leaking out.

"Don't worry, Senior Linglong is here, do you think anyone will doubt you?" Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Just like what he said before.

No one will believe the story of the boy who cried wolf the second time.

Bai Ruoxi gave a soft "hmm" and glanced at Mu Zhian's hand that was wandering around her waist. Feeling helpless and shy, she said softly: "...you let go first, I have to concentrate on breaking through and dealing with the catastrophe. ”

Mu Zhian then reluctantly took back his hand.

Alas, Bai Ruoxi is still too shy to unlock scenes in other places.

Otherwise, getting intimate in the courtyard will actually give you a different experience.

Mu Zhian looked at Bai Ruoxi's snow-white and beautiful profile and felt a little regretful.

At this time, thunderclouds quietly gathered in the sky. Mu Zhian subconsciously looked up. Wei Mengrou, who was wearing a yellow skirt, stood under the thunderclouds without knowing it. She stood with her sword behind her back, leaving only a command for people. The beautiful back view of people's reverie.

Sister Mengrou has also been promoted.

At the same time, Mu Zhian also felt a spiritual energy from the outside gathering in his cauldron. The spiritual energy was very wonderful and had an indescribable wonderful feeling.

This kind of beauty, if you have to describe it, is only slightly worse than when you were practicing dual cultivation with Bai Ruoxi.

It’s time to practice the sixth level of Qi!

As expected of the Eight Treasure Crane, a treasure that can only be effective once for each monk... Mu Zhian and Bai Ruoxi looked at each other, and each returned to the room to deal with this breakthrough in the realm.

The next morning.

Library.

This is one of the neutral forces of the Liang Yi Sect. It can be said that more than 90% of the disciples of the sect have come here to check out books or obtain skills.

At this time, Yan Ruyu, who was sitting in front of the ninth-floor building of the Library Pavilion, wearing a light robe and outlining plump and attractive curves like a peach, was sitting on a chair, reading the letter sent by the spy not long ago.

What was written in the envelope was all the experiences of the third prince who made a big fuss in Tianhe Garden yesterday.

The envelope only recorded what he saw and heard, without expounding any personal opinions.

This is the most basic personal accomplishment of a secret agent. The information sent must not have its own subjective thoughts, because it will interfere with its master's thinking.

Yan Ruyu will naturally make a decision after reading the information.

When she saw certain descriptions in the intelligence, Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyebrows frowned inadvertently.

The deputy chief of Huabaofeng has a family relationship with the third prince. The third prince borrowed a demon measuring ruler from Ning Shuwen and even discovered the presence of demonic energy in Tianhe Garden.

However, Ning Shuwen was persuaded to retreat not long after he launched the attack.

Then, the three leaders entered Tianhe Garden one after another, and soon left as well...

If there really are demon cultivators in Tianhe Garden, it doesn’t make sense why they would stop here.

But if there were no demon cultivators...why would the demon measuring ruler react?

Yan Ruyu pondered for a long time and began to write a letter.

Not long after, she folded a letter and handed it to the secret agent beside her. She smiled and said:

"Send this letter to Tianhe Garden. Be sure not to let others notice it."

…

Liuli Palace, Tianhe Garden.

Mu Zhian quietly opened his eyes, feeling the unprecedentedly powerful spiritual energy in the cauldron, and felt refreshed.

It's a pity that the Eight Treasure Cranes are only effective once for each monk. Otherwise, if one is used every day, he will not be directly promoted to the God Refining Realm... Mu Zhian sighed with some regret.

He opened the door and felt the warmth of the sun shining on his body. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes comfortably and glanced sideways at the maid in yellow skirt who was standing in front of the courtyard in a daze.

Why does it feel like Sister Mengrou has gotten bigger again... After Mu Zhian glanced at the back of the maid sister, he glanced at the breasts that seemed to be a little bigger, and couldn't help but murmured in his heart.

Wei Mengrou seemed to feel something, she turned her head and looked at him expressionlessly, and said, "Where are you looking?"

Mu Zhian didn't mind and said with a smile: "Sister Mengrou, were you promoted to the sixth level of Shen Lian yesterday?"

Wei Mengrou said lightly, "Yeah", hesitated for a moment, and said, "Thank you."

Mu Zhian smiled: "If you really want to thank me, why not pledge yourself to me?"

Wei Mengrou glanced at him coldly and said calmly: "Get lost."

Mu Zhian smiled and said nothing.

This is like Sister Mengrou...

If one day Wei Mengrou suddenly treated him tenderly, Mu Zhian would be a little uncomfortable with it.

After all, I am used to being treated coldly by maids.

At this time, Wei Mengrou suddenly seemed to feel something, and raised her head to look at the secret agent walking quietly outside.

The spy, covered with a black veil, quietly walked into the villa, came to Mu Zhian, and respectfully handed over an invitation letter:

"Mr. Mu, Master Yan Pavilion invites you to sit in the Library Pavilion."

Mu Zhian took the invitation, opened the envelope, took a quick look, and couldn't help but smile to himself.

The selection ceremony will be two days later, but from the looks of it...the selection ceremony for the inner disciples has already started in advance.
