So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Yaochi Holy Land!

The Yaochi Saint stepped on the soft carpet with her delicate and small embroidered shoes and walked towards the Yaochi Palace.

Yaochi is warm all year round. In the palace, the Queen Mother of Yaochi, wearing a cloud bun and phoenix hairpin and luxurious clothes, sat at the table. The maid had already prepared delicious food and looked at the Yaochi Saint who was walking slowly.

No one knows the age of the Queen Mother of Yaochi. From her appearance, she seems to have passed the age of youth, but she also has a mature charm that a girl does not have.

"Yao Yue, you have made great contributions to my Yaochi Holy Land this time. Two months later, the Tiandan Phoenix Tree will bear fruit. You can pick one yourself." The Queen Mother of Yaochi smiled gently and said.

The Saint of Yaochi exudes a faint fairy aura, as if accompanied by the moonlight, and smiles reservedly: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Why doesn't the Saint invite Qingdi to my Yaochi directly? If people know that the predecessor Qingdi is still alive and is living in the body of a young monk, who knows if someone will want to harm Qingdi." The girl who is in her prime can't help but say.

Most of the people in Yaochi Holy Land are women, and every Saint can inherit the position of Queen Mother of Yaochi in the future.

There are many geniuses in ancient families like Yaochi Holy Land. Yao Yue can break out of it and become the new Saint of Yaochi. It is enough to imagine what she has experienced.

But even if she becomes a Saint, there will still be people coveting this position, and some are even unwilling to accept it.

In fact, if you have to say, Yaochi Holy Land is divided into two factions. One faction is the force that supports Yao Yue, and the other faction is the force headed by this girl Yao Xin.

Another implication of Yao Xin's words was that she was accusing Yao Chi Saint Maiden of not being thorough enough. If she harmed Qing Di, then the blame would be put on Yao Chi Saint Maiden.

"Senior Qing Di has his own decision. Do you think it's appropriate for us juniors to persuade Senior Qing Di to go back to Yao Chi Holy Land with us?"

The Yao Chi Saint Maiden paused and continued with a smile: "Besides, Senior Qing Di had an agreement with Mu Zhian before, so it's impossible for him to leave him now."

"Senior Qing Di chose the Mu Zhian you mentioned before, just because she had no other choice at that time, right? Now..."

Yao Xin lowered his eyes, played with a strand of hair, looked up at her, and smiled: "As the descendants of Senior Qing Di, if we ask her to go back to Yao Chi, will she refuse? ? "

"At worst, just invite Mu Zhian back to Yaochi, right?"

The delicate eyebrows of the Yaochi Saint Lady on her pretty face were slightly raised, and she said lightly: "I seem to have said before that Mu Zhian needs to go to the restricted area to get the water of reincarnation first, and then come to Yaochi."

"The Tiandan Phoenix Fruit has not borne fruit yet, what's the point of bringing him to Yaochi now?"

"It's meaningless, but you can protect him first." Yao Xin said, "As for the water of reincarnation, do you really believe that he can ask for it from the restricted area?"

The Lord of the restricted area may not even meet a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm, let alone give him the water of reincarnation?

"I think instead of pinning my hopes on a small cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm, it is better to exchange the Tiandan Phoenix Fruit with the restricted area later." Yao Xin continued.

"As for Mu Zhian... first take him back to the Yaochi Holy Land, and send him back after reshaping the body for Senior Qingdi."

The two fairies with outstanding looks complement each other, but their temperaments are completely different. At this time, there is a bit of gunpowder because of the conflict of opinions.

The Yaochi Saint stared at Yao Xin and said lightly: "Mu Zhian is an inner disciple of Liangyi Sect. I have considered inviting him to Yaochi before, but with his personality, it is impossible for him to accept the invitation to stay in Yaochi for a long time."

"As long as the right method is used, the other party will naturally agree. I'm afraid it's just that Sister Yao Yue didn't put in the effort." Yao Xin smiled lightly.

"Then you go?" Yaochi Saint said.

The other meaning of this sentence is like saying: If you can do it, you go.

"I've been waiting for you to say this. I'll go if I want to!"

Yao Xin immediately laughed and stood up happily. After thinking for a while, he continued, "If I invite Senior Qingdi back, will you give me your position as the Saint?"

An elder beside Fairy Yao Yue gently scolded, "Yao Xin, don't be rude to the Saint!"

However, at this time, the elder beside Yao Xin shook his head and smiled, "I think Yao Xin is right. Senior Qingdi's matter is of great importance. It is not appropriate to let her stay in the body of a little cultivator."

"If she can be brought back to Yao Chi, some appropriate incentives are not a problem."

For a while, the two sides discussed the position of the 'Saint' again.

As a member of Yao Xin's faction, they naturally did not want Yao Yue to become the Saint of Yao Chi. After all, this meant that they would be under Yao Yue's rule for a long time in the future.

Amidst the debate, the clear and pleasant voice of the Saint of Yao Chi suddenly came: "Okay."

For a moment, countless eyes looked at the Saint of Yao Chi.

The elder beside her even whispered: "Yao Yue, don't be impulsive."

The Saint of Yao Chi just gave them a reassuring look, then looked at the girl with a lively face and sparkling eyes looking at her, and smiled:

"If you can persuade Mu Zhian or Senior Qingdi to return to Yao Chi, the position of Saint will be given to you."

……

Outside Tianxuan City, Ying Guhuan looked down at the middle-aged monks, then looked at the ashen-faced Gongsun Xiong, and said, "Although they are not big fish, I think I can get some information from them this time." Information about the previous demon emperor."

This middle-aged monk is at the third level of returning to the void, while Gongsun Xiong is a monk who has just been promoted to the returning to the void realm.

You know, after the God Refining Realm, every level has undergone huge changes, let alone the Void Return Realm?

With the strength of Ying Guhuan, who is at the seventh level of returning to the void, it is really easy to suppress the middle-aged monks, not to mention that Yan Ruyu is there to support him.

"You, this disciple, are really smart. You even anticipated the other party's movements." Ying Guhuan said in a lazy and gentle voice, glancing slightly at the woman wearing a loose black robe next to him.

Yan Ruyu smiled calmly and said: "Mu Zhian is indeed smart. I also took a fancy to his potential and accepted him as an inner disciple."

When Ying Guhuan heard this, he couldn't help showing an interesting smile and gave Yan Ruyu a meaningful look.

Everyone knows what it is for, so it would be meaningless to be so hypocritical.

"You and I don't need the sect's contribution this time. After going to the Law Enforcement Hall, why not leave this credit to him?" Yan Ruyu suddenly asked.

Capturing a demon cultivator who has returned to the Void Realm alive is a huge achievement, and the Law Enforcement Hall will also receive huge rewards for the sect's contribution.

These leaders are not particularly in need of contribution to the sect, but Mu Zhian is still just an ordinary disciple and needs these rewards.

Ying Guhuan narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "Pavilion Master Yan has a good idea. The sect's contribution is not very important to me, but Mu Zhian is your disciple, what does it have to do with me? "

Yan Ruyu heard Ying Guhuan's voiceover: If you want to prostitute me for nothing without giving you some benefits, there is no way.

"Then what do you think, Chief Ying...?"

"During the Immortal Ascension Conference, disciples will represent their respective main peaks. I, Canghai Peak, seem to have a very powerful disciple this time, but it is still a bit unsafe. I want to accept Mu Zhian as a disciple of Canghai Peak, representing Canghai Peak. Feng attends the Immortal Ascension Conference," Ying Gu said with a smile.

Yan Ruyu immediately refused: "No."

"In response to the first seat's request, let's change it."

"How about giving me the first-level skills from your library?" Ying Guhuan asked with a smile in a somewhat joking tone.

The first-grade technique is the top technique in Kyushu. Even in the library, there is only one copy.

Many sect disciples had come to the Library Pavilion to select exercises before, but they had never chosen the first-grade exercises.

After all, the probability is too small. Each disciple only has one chance to randomly obtain a skill. It is too difficult to choose a first-grade skill.

Seeing Yan Ruyu slowly shaking her head again, Ying Guhuan couldn't help but chuckle and said: "If the technique is not good, and the disciples are not good either, then what else is there to say?"

"Let's see. After Senior Qingdi reshapes his body, I would like to invite Mu Zhian to my back mountain for a week or two to taste tea and talk about Taoism. I hope Master Yan will not stop me then. How about such conditions?" Ying Gu Huan's picture shows a poor view.

If Mu Zhian were present at this time, he would definitely call himself an expert and first make two very unreasonable demands, and then make an equally unreasonable but barely acceptable request. At this time, compare the three demands and really have to choose. Naturally, the third requirement is the best.

"You must have had this idea from the beginning." Yan Ruyu stared at Ying Guhuan dimly.

Then, with eyes flashing, Yan Ruyu pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed to the request: "Okay, I won't stop my disciple when the time comes, but whether he agrees or not depends on him."

Ying Gu Huan smiled sweetly: "Don't worry about this. I naturally informed you first when I was sure."

Next, she only needs to stay in the sect and wait peacefully for Mu Zhian to reshape the Qing Emperor's body.

Then, you can practice Taoism with peace of mind!

…

Mufu.

Mu Zhian was sitting in the side hall, leisurely drinking tea with Mr. Ren, and turned to look out of the yard.

The sun shines through the lush branches and leaves, and a silver-haired Lin Ling is chasing a butterfly in the yard. Her plain robe drags, she jumps lightly, catches the butterfly, and bites it in one bite.

"Miss Linglong is really not picky..." Mu Zhi'an sighed inwardly.

"You have been away from Liangyi Sect for four days. Doesn't it matter to the sect?" Mr. Ren asked with a smile.

"I have already applied for the qualification to go down the mountain. There is no problem." Mu Zhian replied with a smile.

Nearly four days have passed since Mu Zhian came down from the mountain. Yesterday, the demon cultivator from the previous court had been caught by the two leaders and sent to the Law Enforcement Hall in advance.

On the other side, the Gongsun family took the initiative to restrain their minions after learning about Linglong's identity.

After this time, it is impossible to have any thoughts about the Mu family.

"Master, the stockings you asked for are here."

At this time, the seamstress who had been commissioned yesterday came to the hall and delivered the stockings made overnight to Mu Zhian.

According to Mu Zhian's previous request, the stockings made of Nirvana silk are all translucent black or white, and look quite silky and elastic.

Mu Zhian nodded with satisfaction, then threw a silver ingot to the seamstress, indicating that she could leave.

Mr. Ren had a strange look in his eyes and coughed softly: "Master, although women are good, you must remember not to delay your practice."

Mu Zhian still respected the old man who had watched him grow up, so he nodded slightly and said, "I know, I will be more restrained."

After that, after chatting with Mr. Ren for a few more words, he left a jade bottle containing elixirs and left the Mu Mansion to return to Liangyi Sect.

…

On a sunny afternoon, Mu Zhian returned to the sect with Lin Ling. He first sent Lin Ling back to Tianhe Garden, and then planned to leave.

At this time, a gentle and pleasant voice suddenly came from behind: "Mu Lang."

Dressing in a layered and complicated white palace skirt, Bai Ruoxi, who was stunningly beautiful, walked out of the courtyard and came to Mu Zhian's side with her skirt lifted.

Mu Zhian stared at the gentle and innocent Miss Bai, and smiled, "Have you been practicing well these two days?"

Bai Ruoxi nodded gently, then hesitated for a moment, looked at Mu Zhian and said, "Are you still going out?"

"I want to go to the Law Enforcement Hall... Is there anything?" Mu Zhian noticed the worry in Bai Ruoxi's eyes and asked.

Bai Ruoxi stared at her and said, "Come with me and take a look."

What is so mysterious?

Mu Zhian was a little more curious, and walked into the courtyard with Bai Ruoxi's lead.

Lin Ling behind him tilted her head, blinked her red eyes, and followed the two of them.

Not long after, the three of them came to a quiet little house.

"Isn't this Sister Meng Rou's room? What are you bringing me here for?"

When Mu Zhian asked this, Bai Ruoxi had already opened the door, and Mu Zhian also saw the yellow-skirted maid lying on the bedside in the room.

"It's rare to see Sister Mengrou resting in her room alone." Mu Zhian said to himself.

In my impression, this cold maid rarely goes back to her room to rest except for meditating at night. But now she is sleeping alone in her room...?

And in broad daylight?

"She is not resting." When Bai Ruoxi said this, he looked at Wei Mengrou with some embarrassment, and then transmitted a voice: "She tripped over the threshold when she went out this morning."

Mu Zhian: "?"

A cultivator in the Spirit Refining Realm, who may even return to the Void Realm in another year, tripped over the threshold when he went out?

At this time, Bai Ruoxi continued to transmit: "After that, she went out, and the aftermath of the battle between the two disciples hit her inexplicably. When she passed the talisman bridge, the talisman inexplicably burned and she almost fell into the cliff."

"According to the elders of the sect, the bridge paved with talismans has never had any problems in the past hundred years."

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly, and there was a little more thoughtfulness in his eyes.

It seems that it should be caused by Wei Mengrou's bad luck...

At this time, he suddenly felt someone patted his shoulder gently, and turned his head to see Lin Ling holding a crooked piece of paper with words written on it, which said: She has a lot of bad luck, I didn't notice it before.

Mu Zhian was silent for a moment, and said, "You guys go out first, I'll talk to Sister Mengrou."

After everyone left the room, Mu Zhian's eyes fell on Wei Mengrou and smiled, "Sister Mengrou, you shouldn't be asleep yet?"

Wei Mengrou's shoulders could be clearly felt to tremble slightly, and then after an unknown amount of time, a cold voice sounded softly in the room: "Before, you always said you were a burden, but I didn't expect that I was the real burden."

When she said the last part, she sat up at the head of the bed, staring at the boy sitting beside the bed with cold eyes, her eyes seemed a little complicated.

She never thought that the side effects of bad luck would be so serious after leaving Mu Zhian for less than four days.

Obviously, the bad luck when she was a child was not so exaggerated.

Wei Mengrou lowered her head slightly and took off the jade pendant on her chest.

This was the magic weapon given to her by the head of the Rihua Baofeng, which could suppress bad luck.

However, when Mu Zhian looked at the jade pendant, he found that a crack had appeared on the surface of the jade pendant.

"Even the magic weapon that suppresses bad luck can't suppress your bad luck?" Mu Zhian looked at Wei Mengrou in amazement.

"When did it start?"

Wei Mengrou hesitated and said, "Yesterday."

Almost three days... Mu Zhian showed a trace of thought.

"When I am with you, I won't have bad luck. Madam invited me to stay with you for this reason." Wei Mengrou told the truth.

After hesitating for a moment, she raised her head and continued: "If I wasn't around, maybe your luck would be more amazing than those with great luck-"

Before she finished speaking, Mu Zhian stretched out an index finger and pressed it against Wei Mengrou's lips. Under her confused eyes, he smiled and said, "No need to explain, anyway, as long as I am by your side, you will be fine, right?"

"And compared to great luck, I still like Sister Mengrou more."

Wei Mengrou looked at Mu Zhian with complicated eyes, and finally remained silent.

Although she didn't say it, she had to admit in her heart that it was indeed much more reassuring to have her young master by her side.

Not only because of suppressing bad luck.

"By the way, I found a good thing in Tianxuan City these two days. It's very suitable for Sister Mengrou. Do you want to try it?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

"What?" Wei Mengrou looked at Mu Zhian with doubtful eyes.

"Very warm socks." Mu Zhian said.

Wei Mengrou was confused at first, but when she saw Mu Zhian take out a black silk and a white silk from the ring, the yellow-skirted maid's originally doubtful eyes gradually turned cold.

"Is this the warm socks you mentioned?"

Such thin socks can also keep warm?

After all, how can a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm be afraid of the cold?

Mu Zhian said helplessly: "Sister Mengrou seems to have some unnecessary misunderstandings about me."

"Isn't this your bad taste?" Wei Mengrou said coldly, as if she had forgotten the series of bad luck brought about by bad luck.

"It's not my bad taste. If you don't believe me, reach out and touch these socks." Mu Zhian instigated.

Wei Mengrou glanced at the young master doubtfully, and then reached out to touch the smooth silk stockings.

Then, as if she thought of something, her eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered to herself: "Nirvana Silk?"

"But why is the color different?"

"The tailor of the Mu family made a mistake, and I have already scolded her severely." Mu Zhian said calmly.

Then, he handed two different colored stockings to Wei Mengrou and said, "Sister Mengrou, do you want to try it?"

"Or I can help you..."

Feeling Mu Zhian's eyes looking at her calves, Wei Mengrou subconsciously shrank her legs, covered her elastic white legs with a thin blanket, and said coldly, "No, I'll try it myself next time."

"Okay." Mu Zhian showed a sunny smile without any bad intentions.

He was not surprised by the reaction of the maid.

As long as Wei Mengrou could accept his "good intentions", Mu Zhian would be satisfied.

It's just a pity that the number of Nirvana silk is too small, and only this pair was made.

After giving it to Wei Mengrou, Bai Ruoxi would have no more... Otherwise, he could unlock a new way to play tonight.

Mu Zhian couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

After chatting with the maid in the room for a while, there was a slight knock on the door outside the house.

Then, a sweet voice like a silver bell came softly: "Brother Mu, can I come in?"

Ye Lingxuan.

Sister Lingxuan even knows when I will come back. Could it be that she has someone in the sect...Mu Zhian pondered and said, "Come in."

Soon, Ye Lingxuan, wearing a purple skirt, walked into the room. Then, she glanced at Wei Mengrou and nodded with a smile.

Then, her eyes quickly fell on Mu Zhian, and she smiled and said, "Brother Mu should have just come back? Will it disturb your rest?"

Mu Zhian shook his head and showed a standard warm man smile: "If Sister Lingxuan comes to see me, I will be free at any time."

Wei Mengrou, who knew her young master's character well, immediately glanced at Mu Zhian with contempt and said lightly: "I will go out to relax first."

However, when Wei Mengrou got up and was about to leave, Ye Lingxuan, who had just sat on the bed behind her, suddenly made a strange sound of surprise.

"Huh...? Sister Mengrou's bad luck..."

"What's wrong?" Mu Zhian turned his head and looked at Ye Lingxuan.

"Sister Mengrou's bad luck, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before..."

Ye Lingxuan stared at Wei Mengrou's back and couldn't help but whisper to herself.

Then, under the gazes of Mu Zhian and Wei Mengrou, Ye Lingxuan pondered for a moment and continued:

"Her bad luck seems to be somewhat similar to the curse of the forbidden area."

Mu Zhian's eyes were a little more surprised, and he repeated softly: "Sister Mengrou's bad luck is somewhat similar to the curse of the forbidden area..."

It seems that after going to the forbidden area this time, it is not only the physical problem of the Fairy in the Green Skirt, but maybe the reason why Sister Mengrou's bad luck is so exaggerated can be found.

Dongdong.

Just as Mu Zhian was thinking about this, Bai Ruoxi's soft and pleasant voice suddenly came from the door, saying: "Mu Lang, there is someone from Yao Chi Holy Land who wants to see you."

Didn't I just make an appointment with Yao Chi Holy Lady to go to Yao Chi Holy Land in a while, how come someone else would come to see me...

Thinking about it, Mu Zhian answered in accordance with the principle of "whoever comes is a guest", "Please let him in first."
