So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

As if aware of the gazes of several people, Mu Zhian remained calm and slowly took out a butter paper bag from the ring.

"Isn't this a bag used to hold food... What is he doing with this thing?"

"And I seem to smell a fragrance. Is this...osmanthus cake?"

Someone among the disciples immediately noticed what Mu Zhian was holding in his hand. For a moment, everyone's eyes showed a bit of surprise.

A woman with a thin veil covering her body and a faint silvery glow came to the end of the crowd at some point. She raised her eyes slightly and stared at the butter paper bag in Mu Zhian's hand. With a smile in her eyes and a clear voice, she said : "It's interesting. The other disciples gave me pills and medicinal materials, but he gave me a snack instead."

The woman's mere opening attracted the attention of many sect disciples, who all looked sideways. When they saw this woman, their eyes were a little more surprised.

Many sect disciples in Liangyi Sect have very good backgrounds, so some people immediately recognized the woman's identity.

"Saint Maiden of Yaochi, Yao Yue!"

Yaochi Holy Land has great influence in Dongzhou and has a very deep foundation.

The talents of each generation of Yaochi saints are undoubtedly superior to those of the younger generation. Coupled with the physique of the innate Taoist fetus and the bonus of their own appearance, they have naturally attracted the pursuit of many monks.

I just didn't expect that this time Lan Mulian's tribulation would even attract the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

And looking at it like this, Yaochi Holy Land seems to have prepared gifts as well.

Many people have noticed an exquisite small wooden box held by the Holy Maiden of Yaochi. The wooden box is carved with complex patterns. Just at the first glance, people can realize that what is in it is probably quite large. Precious elixir.

"After arriving at the Refining God, even if you don't eat, there won't be any problems. There is no point in giving you a snack."

Not far from the Yaochi Saint, there is a young man who is also quite gorgeously dressed. No matter what he is wearing, he is quite gorgeous and can be said to be majestic.

The leader of the younger generation in the penalty area, Zhou Hao!

The minds of many sect disciples became active.

Every year at the Immortal Ascension Conference, the Liangyi Sect invites people from all the major forces in Eastern Continent to come to the sect to have a look, and those forces will also participate in this Immortal Ascension Conference.

It can be said that the Immortal Ascension Conference is the stage where many talents from Dongzhou can emerge.

It stands to reason that there are still two full months before the start of the Immortal Ascension Conference.

Why did the people from the Yaochi Holy Land and the restricted area come here in advance?

And from the looks of it, it seems that there are more than just people from Yaochi Holy Land and restricted areas...

At the end of the crowd, some sect disciples also saw a few unfamiliar faces.

Obviously, these people are not disciples of the Liang Yi Sect, but geniuses from the Liang Yi Sect who have just come from the outside world not long ago.

After hearing Zhou Hao's words, the Saint of Yaochi smiled lightly and said:

"Maybe Senior Sister likes sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

Her words were extremely calm, and there was never any hint of contempt in the eyes of this Yaochi saint for the gift sent by Mu Zhian, and the smile on her face was always indifferent.

Although it was a bit shabby to give out a sweet-scented osmanthus cake on such a grand occasion, no matter what, she would not have any fluctuations.

The most important thing for the Saint of Yaochi is her Taoist heart. She can deal with everything indifferently. This is the Saint of Yaochi.

Because of this, the Saint of Yaochi has very few enemies. On the contrary, it is because of her demeanor and behavior that she has attracted many suitors.

Zhou Hao shook his head and smiled lightly: "Fairy Yao Yue used to practice in Yaochi. I'm afraid you don't know that Senior Sister Lan has an extremely cold personality and is not interested in most things. Someone from the elders in my restricted area once said "Senior Sister Lan's cultivation speed is probably related to her ignorance of worldly affairs and her concentration on cultivation."

"How could such a person be interested in one or two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

"She is not the kind of girl who will be deceived by a few words." When Zhou Hao said this, his eyes fell on Mu Zhian inadvertently, with a bit of sharpness in his eyes.

The Yaochi Saint's eyebrows were slightly raised, her body seemed to be accompanied by the moonlight, her snow-white skin was shrouded in silver light, and she smiled slightly: "It seems that you don't have a good relationship with the disciple who is giving you the gift now?"

"I'm just stating a fact." Zhou Hao shook his head and smiled.

Then, his eyes fell on the slender back of the girl in purple skirt in the crowd.

Although he pretended to be calm and calm on the surface, there was an unconcealable intensity in his eyes as he stared at Ye Lingxuan.

Ye Lingxuan, she is the saint of the forbidden area. Naturally, she is also the object of pursuit of many younger generations in the forbidden area.

However, a few months ago, when his younger brother returned to the restricted area, he revealed the fact that Ye Lingxuan had already fallen in love with someone, and they were expelled from the Liangyi Sect because of Mu Zhian's design and frame-up.

These words naturally aroused the hatred of some disciples in the restricted area.

Among them, Zhou Hao was included.

In his eyes, Mu Zhian has become synonymous with "despicable, sinister and cunning".

After all, even if there is no such thing, just knowing that the young lady is pursued by a monk who has absolutely no advantages except his face will still make him feel dissatisfied.

"Do you know him?" Yaochi Saint asked softly.

"I don't know, but I heard it mentioned by the tribe before." Zhou Hao smiled lightly and looked at Mu Zhian, who was stepping forward to hand the butter paper bag to Lan Mulian's hand.

He continued, "When he was in Tianxuan City, Mu Zhian was obsessed with beauty and did all kinds of evil. He was a dandy boy who was despised by others."

"But later, something seemed to happen to him. After he came to his senses, his cultivation speed was improved, but it can only be said that he has ordinary talent. Moreover, he is fickle and two-timing. He is a useless young master who can't be more fickle."

The indifferent tone and disdain seemed to try to devalue Mu Zhian's image to the lowest point in the heart of the Yaochi Saint.

"Mu Zhian..." Yaochi Saint repeated softly, confirming that she had no impression of this name, and then smiled indifferently, but didn't take it to heart.

She had heard the names of genius cultivators of the same generation.

Ye Lingxuan, the saint of the restricted area, Bai Ruoxi, the first beauty of Tianxuan City, and Wei Mengrou, whose presence was weak but whose cultivation was superior to that of other geniuses.

In addition, Ye Yu, who just sent out the Rejuvenating Pill, can barely be considered a genius.

In Dongzhou, there are still many geniuses who have not yet been born, and they will probably participate in this Ascension Conference.

Among these young geniuses, she had never heard of the name Mu Zhian before.

"If I remember correctly, Fairy Yao Yue seems to have never left Yaochi in the past, and there are still two months before the Ascension Conference. Why did she come to Liangyi Sect in advance this time?"

Not far from the two of them, a young man with a jade-like face and a white robe asked in a gentle voice.

Yao Yue smiled lightly and said, "I have received some guidance from Sister Lan in the past. Two days ago, I noticed the thunder tribulation in Liangyi Sect, so I asked the elders of Yaochi and came to the sect in advance to congratulate her."

Hearing this, many people suddenly realized.

The lips of the Saint of Yao Chi outlined a faint smile. She was covered with a faint mist, and her skin seemed to be as white as jade through the gauze. However, the thin smoke and the moonlight completely covered her skin. To others, only a vague figure could be seen.

A few days ago, the great elder of the Yao Chi Holy Land had deduced that the first generation of the Saint of Yao Chi was born in Liangyi Sect.

This time, Yao Yue came to Liangyi Sect to congratulate one aspect, and the biggest reason was to come for the Green Emperor.

If the Green Emperor really still survives in the world, please ask her to return to Yao Chi to control the power. In the future, Yao Chi will be the most prominent in the nine states.

However, when she came to Liangyi Sect not long ago, she tried to call the Green Emperor with the jade slip constructed by the secret method of Yao Chi, but she did not feel the breath and response of the Green Emperor.

This is a very strange situation. It stands to reason that every generation of the Saint of Yao Chi can feel the breath of the ‘same source’, but when she came to Liangyi Sect this time, she did not feel any breath about the Green Emperor.

The elder's deduction could not be wrong, so it should be that something happened to Senior Qingdi, so she could not be contacted for the time being...?

The Saint of Yaochi thought while quietly looking at Mu Zhian not far away.

When Mu Zhian handed the butter paper bag to Lan Murian, Zhou Hao couldn't help but chuckle secretly.

Lan Murian had no fluctuations about the elixirs sent by the major main peaks and even the forces outside Dongzhou, let alone a piece of osmanthus cake?

Compared with the elixirs and medicinal materials sent by others, the osmanthus cake sold in the world is really pitifully cheap.

Ye Yu looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing: "Master Mu prepared for so long, and he only prepared a piece of osmanthus cake?"

Many disciples were slightly agitated, and they were obviously a little surprised by Mu Zhian's gift.

This Mu Zhian is a well-known figure in Tianxuan City. As a result, after the sect master's direct disciple was promoted to the Return to Void Realm, he sent a piece of osmanthus cake?

Even though Senior Sister Lan wouldn't say anything, she would probably be speechless in her heart.

This can be seen from Lan Mulian's slightly confused eyes at the moment.

After taking the butter paper bag handed by Mu Zhian, Lan Mulian couldn't help but take a look at the food in the butter paper bag.

A portion of osmanthus cake and two meat buns.

After a brief surprise, she raised her eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a gleam in her cold eyes like a cold pond.

After a moment, Lan Mulian's red lips under the gauze opened slightly and stared at Mu Zhian: "Are you back to Tianxuan City?"

"I planned to go back before, but I didn't have time, so I took this opportunity to go back." Mu Zhian smiled.

"Flying from here and rushing back... won't it be tiring?" Lan Mulian asked.

"It only consumed two soul-replenishing pills and one spirit-replenishing pill, which is nothing." Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled.

When hearing the conversation between the two, the eyes of the disciples below moved slightly.

Speaking of which, the nearest city to Liangyi Sect takes three or four hours to fly by sword.

So where did Mu Zhian get his food?

In order to buy a snack, he spent three fifth-grade pills to fly for eight hours? !

Is he crazy? !

This thought flashed through the minds of many disciples.

However, some female disciples' eyes lit up a little.

Women's thinking is completely different from men's. Perhaps in the eyes of male cultivators, this practice is extremely wasteful.

After all, the value of three fifth-grade pills can easily crush so many snacks.

But in the eyes of female disciples, it is undoubtedly very romantic to rush to Tianxuan City for their beloved senior sister.

Lan Mulian silently grasped the butter paper bag in her hand, silently staring at Mu Zhian's sincere expression and the sunny smile like a spring breeze.

After a long silence, her eyebrows relaxed and she said softly: "I like it very much."

At the end, a faint smile hung on her cold face, but it was a pity that it was covered with a veil, so it was not very clear.

This senior sister just said one sentence, and it set off a thousand waves among these sect disciples.

From just now to now, this senior sister has said "thank you" to the gift from the main peak.

Only the snack given by Mu Zhian was said "like".

This is enough to prove that the gift sent by Mu Zhian really won the favor of the senior sister.

"Mu Zhian is too hard, wasting three fifth-grade pills, and even rushing a day and a night, just for a snack..."

A disciple in the crowd couldn't help but whispered.

"But it's very romantic, isn't it?" A female disciple retorted.

"But it's just a snack after all..."

"If I knew that my senior sister likes snacks, I would have gone to Tianxuan City earlier..." Some disciples said with regret.

For a while, there were a lot of whispers and discussions in the field.

Ye Yu looked at this scene with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

He prepared for this anti-aging pill for nearly two days, and the medicinal materials alone took a long time to prepare, but in the end, he only got a faint smile from his senior sister.

On the contrary, Mu Zhian's snack won the senior sister's "like".

Listening to the whispers in his ears, Mu Zhian paused slightly, and suddenly said seriously: "This cake, I will name it as enlightenment cake."

The voices in the field quieted down for a while, and many people's eyes fell on Mu Zhian.

"Enlightenment cake?"

"Isn't this just an ordinary cake?" Someone looked at Mu Zhian with doubt and couldn't help but say.

"Master Mu, can you call it enlightenment cake just by buying a snack in the city?" Ye Yu also sneered.

Mu Zhian ignored him and just said something to Lan Murian.

Lan Murian's eyes moved slightly, and she noticed Mu Zhian's frank and sincere eyes, and her spiritual consciousness quickly swept over the butter paper bag.

Then, as if she had found something in the butter paper bag, she stretched out her bare hand and took out a seed the size of silver from the butter paper bag.

The venue suddenly became silent.

Then, the breathing of the crowd became much faster, and there was even a little more heat in their eyes.

The eyes of the Saint of Yao Chi were watery, her red lips were slightly open, and she was also amazed, staring straight at the seed in Lan Murian's hand.

Zhou Hao's eyes slowly widened, and his heartbeat kept speeding up.

... Enlightenment Seed? !
