So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

That afternoon, Mu Zhian took a bath in the tub with the pills Yu Ziyan gave him, absorbing the spiritual energy that Bai Ruoxi had purified with the Heavenly Qi.

Under normal circumstances, even the purified spiritual energy would take some time to be completely absorbed into the body's cauldron.

But the Qi-absorbing pills could speed up this process.

It was obvious that the Daofeng chief wanted to make Mu Zhian a big and white cabbage, so that it would be more delicious to eat later.

Although Yu Ziyan didn't know, Mu Zhian gave thirty Qi-absorbing pills to the girls around him as soon as he came back...

Mu Zhian was not in a hurry to practice on his own side.

After all... if he were to advance to the Refining Spirit Realm now, he might be invited to practice dual cultivation right away.

But before the Refining Spirit Realm, he could get more pills for free.

You know, the pills refined by these chiefs may not be available even if you have spirit stones.

Some prescriptions are quite rare, while some have scarce medicinal materials.

Generally speaking, pills like the Qi-receiving Pill are basically in short supply, and only those with deep background can afford them.

"It's a pity that Ruoxi is still too shy." Mu Zhian sighed with some regret in his heart.

Originally, he thought that he could play with Miss Bai in the bathtub, but the girl's past etiquette and the reserve of the young lady did not allow her to do so, so he firmly rejected Mu Zhian.

But it doesn't matter, there is still a long time in the future. Miss Bai is unwilling to accept it now, but there will always be a day when she will accept it.

After meditating for nearly three hours, Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes and quietly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Qi training seventh level!

Such a training speed can already be proud of all geniuses.

Of course, it is not that Mu Zhian only spent an afternoon to advance to the seventh level of Qi training, but just took the promotion pill sent by the senior sister.

After changing into a luxurious robe, Mu Zhian left the room, drank a cup of hot tea in the side hall, and waited for a while before seeing Bai Ruoxi, who was wearing a white palace skirt embroidered with lotus flowers and washed clean.

Her beautiful face seemed to be stained with two drunken blushes because of the hot bath, her eyes were bright as stars, and her body exuded the fragrance of bathing in petals. Her snow-white skin was exposed, less cold and more charming.

The temptation brought by this scene was indescribable, and it also made Mu Zhian look twice more, sighing at the beauty of this Miss Bai. Even without makeup, she was still as perfect as a jade beauty.

And it was very big and very white.

Although Ruoxi, who used to be cold and unapproachable like a goddess, was good, she was a little difficult to approach because she was always acting like a young lady. Now it’s the best... Mu Zhian waved at her: "Just finished taking a hot bath, sit down and have a cup of tea."

Bai Ruoxi nodded modestly and sat down next to Mu Zhian. Her voice was cold and pleasant: "Mulang, the white paper you just gave me seems to be a talisman?"

As she said that, she took out the white paper that Mu Zhian had given her not long ago.

The white paper was about the size of a talisman, and there was a creature with two horns on it, which looked like a dragon, but because the painting was too abstract, if you didn’t look closely, you might not realize that the painting was a dragon.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and said, "It should be a talisman. Since Senior Linglong said that this thing can cover up the aura of the Heavenly Dao, it should be possible."

Bai Ruoxi took a sip of tea, her eyes flashed slightly: "Did something happen when you went out just now?"

Ruoxi really understands me more and more, which is a good thing. She can also give me advice in the future...Mu Zhian was quite pleased and said, "The first generation of the head of Canghai Peak is the demon cultivator sent by the Queen of the Demon Realm."

"And it seems that he was in a superior-subordinate relationship with the black-robed man in Tianxuan City at that time."

When he said this, he recalled the red-dressed beauty he had just seen in the cave, that is, Yi Hao's master.

How did Ying Guhuan know that there were two tripods in his body at that time?

Obviously, some method should have been used to check his body.

As for why he checked his body...it is not certain now.

Just simply curious about the secrets in his body, or to say, want to see if the aura of the Heavenly Dao is hidden in him?

No matter what the reason is, it is always a good thing to take precautions in advance.

"The Queen of the Demon Realm." Bai Ruoxi repeated softly, with a more solemn look in her eyes.

"Can't tell the Sect Master or the senior members of the Sect?" She raised her head and looked at Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian shook his head: "The other party is not a fool. Since he dared to tell me the truth so bluntly, he must have taken precautions."

"Besides, the Sect Master may not be unaware of this."

From the conversation with Shang Yanfei at that time, it seems that she obviously knows that she is acting as a traitor.

The Sect Master may know everything, but just doesn't say it.

He doesn't know the reason, but the Sect Master should know that there are traitors in the Sect.

"The first generation of Canghai Peak wants the Qi of Heaven?" Bai Ruoxi said to himself thoughtfully, stroking the rim of the teacup with his fingertips, and a trace of worry between his eyebrows.

Mu Zhian noticed the worry in her eyes and smiled to comfort her: "Don't worry, Yi Hao said before that his master rarely leaves the back mountain. I looked for Senior Lin Ling just in case."

"In other words, the probability of being discovered is not high..." Bai Ruoxi glanced at him and continued: "If that's the case, why did Mu Lang rush to find Senior Linglong at that time?"

"This is Liangyi Sect, no one dares to touch you, but there is no guarantee that after the Heavenly Qi is exposed, it will attract some people who covet you." Mu Zhian paused and teased: "Besides, your existence itself is worthy of being coveted."

Bai Ruoxi's pretty face blushed slightly, and she glared at Mu Zhian, and whispered: "Be serious."

Ruoxi's coquettish eyes felt no worse than Sister Meng Rou...Mu Zhian narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying it quite a bit.

"The probability of you being detected by others is not high, but what if someone tells you off?" He suddenly asked back.

A simple glance may not be able to detect whether Bai Ruoxi has the Heavenly Qi in his body.

But no one knows whether there is any elixir or secret method that can identify the Heavenly Qi hidden in Bai Ruoxi.

Mu Zhian asked Linglong to prepare a backup plan, just in case.

"Who would tell on me?" Bai Ruoxi asked puzzled.

Mu Zhian reached out and held up a bunch of Bai Ruoxi's hair, glanced from bottom to top, and finally returned to the girl's cold face, and smiled faintly: "Whoever lost the aura of heaven, that's who it is."

"... Ye Yu?" When mentioning this name, Bai Ruoxi's eyes showed a hint of disgust, obviously extremely disgusted with Ye Yu's previous actions.

"He should not know that the aura of heaven is in me... otherwise he would have told on me before." Bai Ruoxi said.

"Your cultivation speed is too fast, Ruoxi."

Mu Zhian looked at Bai Ruoxi's cold and weak posture and said, "After last night, your cauldron was replenished with spiritual energy again. It may be promoted to a higher grade in the next few days."

"Once or twice is fine. If it is promoted frequently, others may not think of anything, but Ye Yu, who first possessed the Qi of Heaven, may not think of something."

After all, Ye Yu relied on the Qi of Heaven to have such a monstrous cultivation speed.

However, after losing the Qi of Heaven, Ye Yu should have obtained other opportunities, and his cultivation speed did not seem to fall much...Tsk, the evil jumping seal.

The sunset outside the house had gradually sunk, and Mu Zhian lit the candles beside the table.

The candlelight flickered, illuminating Bai Ruoxi's delicate melon-seed face. In the flickering firelight, her pretty face seemed to be stained with a moving luster like warm jade.

"My cultivation speed is not only due to the Qi of Heaven." Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly.

The reason why she could practice so fast was because of the energy of heaven, her own talent, and Mu Zhian's struggle every night.

"Ye Yu is so annoying." She continued suddenly.

Every time, it was because of Ye Yu that there were so many troubles. He had troubled her several times when she was in Tianxuan City before.

Mu Zhian reached out to hold Bai Ruoxi's hand. She did not resist, but lowered her eyes, as if thinking about what Mu Zhian had just said.

"In fact, there is no need to worry. With the talisman carved by Sister Lin Ling, even if someone really wants to push you to the forefront, it is impossible. No elixir or secret method can see through the concealing effect of the talisman." Mu Zhian comforted.

"You just need to practice with peace of mind. When you return to the virtual realm in the future, this world is so big, we can go wherever we want, just like Mondo."

Bai Ruoxi raised her eyes slightly and asked puzzledly: "What is Mondo...?"

"It's okay, don't worry." Mu Zhian smiled.

"Mu Lang is so good to me." Bai Ruoxi said softly. With the comfort of Mu Zhian, her originally anxious and unhappy mood gradually improved.

When Mu Zhian pursued her before, she was annoyed to death by him and wished that he would not come to her.

But since she was with Mu Zhian, she hoped that Mu Zhian could stay by her side all the time.

Women are such strange creatures.

"By the way, you gave me all the pills. If Sister Lingxuan knew that I was using the pills you gave me, would she be unhappy? What if she gets angry?" Bai Ruoxi suddenly worried.

No, after all, I also gave her the same pills... Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled: "It doesn't matter."

"Sister Lingxuan is still young and is still at the low level of Qi training. Otherwise... I will send some pills to her? Since she is your sister, I will naturally treat her as a sister." Bai Ruoxi looked at Mu Zhian with clear eyes.

"This elixir is very expensive, are you sure?" Mu Zhian declined politely.

"It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not, the main thing is that I feel sorry for Sister Lingxuan and want to do something for her." Bai Ruoxi looked sincere, and her deep facial features under the candlelight gave her a three-dimensional sense of a mixed-race beauty.

Are you sure you're not trying to anger her by running to her door to deliver elixirs... Mu Zhian pinched Bai Ruoxi's palm and smiled: "I'll send her some more elixirs I got from Pavilion Master Yan in a few days. As for these elixirs, you can keep them for yourself."

"Pavilion Master Yan?" Bai Ruoxi's eyes revealed a trace of doubt.

"Will Pavilion Master Yan give you elixirs?"

"Yes." Mu Zhian smiled.

"After all, I am also her inner disciple."

Daofeng's chief has given them, if this matter is heard by Yan Ruyu, how could she not make any move?

"But why did Daofeng's chief give you elixirs?" Bai Ruoxi suddenly asked curiously.

"Maybe it's because I gave them a talent they cherish?"

Mu Zhian took a sip of tea, skipped this dangerous topic, and said softly: "You smell really good today, Ruoxi."

He stared at Bai Ruoxi and said, "Did you prepare it specially for me?"

Bai Ruoxi gave him an angry look, her pretty face turned red, and her voice was clear and slightly shy: "Stop teasing others."

Sensing that Mu Zhian's eyes contained some meaning, Bai Ruoxi continued: "And how can anyone do this every night? Is it okay?"

She was worried that Mu Zhian would sooner or later not have enough energy to practice.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled: "No problem, you underestimate my energy, Ruoxi."

What's more, he also has the aphrodisiac sent by the second elder of Daofeng Middle Peak... Bah, it should be the Rejuvenation Pill.

Ever since Bai Ruoxi came out of the shower, Mu Zhian had already been a little excited. Looking at her cold and cold posture, he naturally wanted to see the other side of her.

Seeing the shy side of the cold girl in his arms makes people's hearts flutter just thinking about it... Mu Zhian sat next to Bai Ruoxi, right next to him.

He put his arms around her slender waist, stared at the jade beauty in his arms, and slowly moved closer to her lips.

"Wait a minute, let's go back to the room..." Bai Ruoxi gently pushed Mu Zhian with her little hands, but she seemed a little weak.

"No problem, there are no outsiders here." Mu Zhian stared at her tenderly.

"But this is the side hall...well."

Bai Ruoxi seemed to want to say something more, but as her lips were sealed by the young man, her body slowly softened.

…

The next morning.

Library.

Yan Ruyu, who was in the fullest and most plump stage of a woman's life, was sitting in the side hall, silently reading the information sent by the spy.

She has an intellectual temperament and a mature feminine charm, which is quite attractive.

At this moment, the master of the library looked at the letter in his hand, his eyes flickering slightly. After a long time, he threw the information in his hand into a bucket aside, and the letter instantly turned into ashes.

"My senior sister actually gave pills to Mu Zhian...?" Yan Ruyu whispered to herself.

Moreover, he also gave away thirty fifth-grade elixirs at once?

It was a fifth-grade elixir, and it was not something worthless. Even the leader of Daofeng would not be so generous with such a thing.

At least it's impossible to give away so many.

Mu Zhian is from her library, how can Yu Ziyan help her cultivate disciples in her library?

"I'm being courteous for nothing... but there's something weird about it." Her green fingers gently tapped the edge of the chair. After a long time, she glanced at the spy beside her and said:

"Go to Tianhe Garden and ask Mu Zhian to come over."

…

After practicing all night, Mu Zhian, who had taken the Rejuvenating Pill in the morning, was sitting leisurely in the side hall drinking morning tea, while Bai Ruoxi went to the bathhouse early to take a bath.

After a while, a maid in a yellow dress appeared in the field of vision.

"Good morning, Sister Mengrou." Mu Zhian raised his head to look at Wei Mengrou and greeted him proactively.

"How did you feel about the effect of yesterday's Naqi Pill?"

Wei Mengrou glanced at Mu Zhian coldly and was too lazy to pay attention to him: "There are disciples outside who are asking to see you. They say that Pavilion Master Yan invites you to go to the Library Pavilion."

"Is it finally here?" Mu Zhian smiled, put down the teacup, stood up and stretched his waist.

Then, he straightened his robe, looked at Wei Mengrou beside him, and said, "Sister Mengrou, Ruoxi, please tell her."

Wei Mengrou nodded slightly, and after watching her young master leave the side hall, she glanced at the place where Mu Zhian was sitting just now, seeming to recall some of the beautiful scenery that she accidentally saw last night, that cold and absolutely cold scene. A beautiful blush flashed across Mei's face.

About a quarter of an hour later, Bai Ruoxi, who was dressed delicately and coolly in a white dress and white embroidered shoes, came from the back of the side hall.

When she saw Wei Mengrou, she said softly: "Sister Mengrou, good morning."

Seemingly noticing that Bai Ruoxi was looking at the side hall suspiciously, as if looking for someone, Wei Mengrou explained: "He was just called away by Master Yan Pavilion."

"That's it..." Bai Ruoxi's eyes flashed slightly and she said to herself, "That's just right."

After saying that, she walked out of the side hall.

"Where are you going?" Wei Mengrou called to Bai Ruoxi.

Bai Ruoxi paused slightly and said softly: "Sister Lingxuan will inevitably feel lonely at home. It just so happens that I still have some elixirs that Mu Lang brought here yesterday, and I want to send some to her."

Wei Mengrou was stunned for a moment.

"Sister Mengrou, do you have anything else?" Bai Ruoxi stared at the maid with bright peach blossom eyes.

Wei Mengrou came back to her senses, glanced at Miss Bai who was simple and had no bad intentions, and said with a smile:

"It's okay, you can go~"
