So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

How can you let me meet my father-in-law right away? Why don't you let me gain some "experience" first?

After hearing the words of the restricted area elder, Mu Zhian couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He could clearly feel that among the restricted area clan members who had just talked to Ye Lingxuan, many of the same age monks looked at him with a bit of hostility.

Mu Zhian didn't really care about such looks, and even said that he could understand it.

After all, most of these people should be the same age as him, young and energetic, and it is normal for them to be a little unconvinced or even want to compete with him, after all, he kidnapped the saint of the restricted area.

"Why did my father find Brother Mu so quickly..." Ye Lingxuan was also a little surprised. He couldn't help but look up and secretly glanced at Mu Zhian not far away, and then quietly turned and walked into the hall.

Most of the clan members didn't notice this scene, because at this time, the attention of many restricted area disciples was attracted by Mu Zhian.

There was a bit of weirdness and gloating in their eyes when they looked at Mu Zhian.

Even these arrogant geniuses living in the center of the forbidden area were as afraid of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone as mice seeing a cat, not to mention that even they rarely saw that existence on weekdays.

However, Mu Zhian was called to see the Lord of the Forbidden Zone just after arriving at the forbidden zone... It is obvious that it must be for the Saint's matter.

When they thought of this, the hostility of these people towards Mu Zhian suddenly turned into some sympathy.

Mu Zhian quickly restrained his emotions, turned his head to look at Wei Mengrou beside him, and said: "Sister Mengrou, you will go in with Sister Lingxuan and wait for me later."

Wei Mengrou nodded gently and glanced at Mu Zhian again.

Although he didn't speak, he could still feel the worry in Wei Mengrou's eyes.

This time was different from usual. The other party was a strong man in the Hedao realm, and he had been in seclusion for a long time, but he suddenly asked to see Mu Zhian... I don't know if this is a good thing.

When Mu Zhian followed the elder into the palace, Wei Mengrou also followed into the ancient palace under the guidance of others.

The disciples in the restricted area had heard a little about the talent of this maid before, and because of her appearance, most people were much friendlier to Wei Mengrou than when they treated Mu Zhian, and occasionally talked to her.

On the other side, Mu Zhian, led by the elder, walked for a long time and finally came to the Tianxian Palace where the master of the restricted area lived.

On both sides of the mahogany gate, two maids had been waiting for a long time.

When they saw Mu Zhian and the elders beside him, they all bowed, and waited until the elders left before leading Mu Zhian into the Tianxian Palace.

Walking through the corridor, Mu Zhian was soon taken to a quiet and elegant room.

In the elegant room, a man in a black robe, with a steady and solemn temperament, sat at the table opposite the door, flipping through a book in his hand, leisurely sipping tea, and seemed to be quite leisurely.

"Master, Mu Zhian is here." The maid bowed slightly, then turned around and quietly withdrew.

Because he had seen several powerful people in the Hedao realm before, Mu Zhian did not feel uncomfortable when facing this one of the few Hedao realm powerful people in Dongzhou. He raised his hands and bowed, and said loudly: "Mu Zhian, a disciple of Liangyi Sect, greets the senior."

Mu Zhian wanted to say "Mu Zhian, a disciple of the sect, greets the father-in-law", but considering the other party's identity and the rather unpleasant face of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone at the moment, he finally held back his inner thoughts.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone glanced at Mu Zhian lightly and said: "Sit down."

That look seemed full of disgust.

It's no wonder. When Ye Lingxuan was sent to the Ye family, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone never thought that Ye Lingxuan would have a love affair with a person of the opposite sex of the same age in Tianxuan City.

After all, although Ye Lingxuan is very polite to others on weekdays, she is actually arrogant as a saint of the Forbidden Zone. When she first went to the Mu family to "warn" Mu Zhian not to get close to her sister, her mentality was arrogant.

Who would have thought that the arrogant Miss of the Forbidden Zone would have a favorite in Tianxuan City...

This father-in-law is really dissatisfied with me... Mu Zhian understood it in his heart, but was not surprised. Instead, he quickly calmed down and said, "I don't know why the senior asked me to come here?"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone put down the book in his hand, paused, and said, "What do you want to ask me?"

How can you answer a question with a question... Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, and finally decided to be straightforward.

After all, the other party might have known his purpose.

"Junior wants to borrow the water of reincarnation." Mu Zhian said.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone looked at Mu Zhian for a few times and said, "What do you want the reincarnation water for?"

Both his tone and eyes were extremely calm, and Mu Zhian even thought that this was not the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

He thought about the various reactions that the Lord of the Forbidden Zone would have after he met him, such as whether this old man would ask about Ye Lingxuan, or test Mu Zhian or even "scare" him.

But now it seems that a big man like the Lord of the Forbidden Zone still has a pattern.

This makes people feel much more at ease.

Mu Zhian quickly gathered his thoughts and asked, "Senior, do you know the first generation of the demon king in the demon world?"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the young man for a few times, and said: "The first generation of demon emperor? Why do you suddenly mention it?"

Mu Zhian said respectfully: "To be honest, I want to reshape the body for Senior Qingdi."

"And this requires the help of reincarnation water." Mu Zhian chose to tell the truth.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone couldn't help but look at this noble young man who was dressed quite gorgeously.

"Why should I help you?"

Mu Zhian shook his head and said: "Senior, you are not going to help me, but Senior Qingdi."

"The first generation of demon emperor was suppressed by Senior Qingdi, but he still survives in the world. If it is resurrected, Dongzhou will be in great trouble." Mu Zhian continued.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone had a little more interest in his eyes, and smiled lightly: "Why should I believe what a junior like you said?"

He did notice that the first generation of demon emperor was sealed by Qingdi at the beginning.

But the battle at that time was too fast. Before he even had time to lock the position, the breath of the first generation demon emperor had completely disappeared.

It is still a question whether the first generation demon emperor is still alive. In this case, a young cultivator in the spirit refining realm said that the first generation demon emperor is about to be resurrected... From a rational point of view, it is really hard to believe.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone paused, looked at Mu Zhian meaningfully, and continued: "Let alone you, even if the Green Emperor said this himself, it can't be used as evidence of the resurrection of the first generation demon emperor, right?"

"Senior Green Emperor's words can't be used as evidence that the first generation demon emperor is still alive in the world."

Mu Zhian paused, took out a jade bottle from the ring and placed it on the table, looked at the solemn man in front of him, and smiled: "What if it is the evidence of the first generation demon emperor himself?"

"Soul-nourishing pill?" The Lord of the Forbidden Zone raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised.

The eighth-grade elixir, the Soul-Nourishing Pill, is infinitely close to the heavenly grade. Even the strong men in the Hedao realm don't have many of them. The medicinal ingredient in the Soul-Nourishing Pill is only found in the demon world of Beizhou.

The one who can refine this thing must be at least a cultivator at the peak of the Return to Void Realm.

"It does have the breath of the Demon Emperor, but why did it give the Soul-Nourishing Pill to you?" The Lord of the Forbidden Zone asked slowly.

"To answer the senior's words, I promised the Demon Emperor that I would find the Reincarnation Water and the Heavenly Dan Phoenix Fruit for him. As a price, it gave the Soul-Nourishing Pill to me." Mu Zhian said respectfully.

Even the Lord of the Forbidden Zone looked at Mu Zhian strangely at this time, and said: "After you promised Qingdi, you turned around to find the first generation of demon emperor?"

"I just considered that if I find you in the future, it will be troublesome if you don't believe in the resurrection of the first generation of demon emperor, so I took the risk to meet the first generation of demon emperor and swear to find the reincarnation water and Tiandan Phoenix fruit for him." Mu Zhian said.

He just promised to find it, but didn't promise to give it to whom after finding it... This is also a trick played by Mu Zhian.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone had a thoughtful look in his eyes, and pondered: "Why do you want to help Qingdi?"

"Senior Qingdi has made such a great sacrifice for Dongzhou. I don't want to sit back and watch the great power for the people of Dongzhou finally fall in this way." Mu Zhian said solemnly and sincerely.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone stared at Mu Zhian's sincere eyes, but never spoke.

After a while, he stood up and walked slowly to the door of the hall, with his hands behind his back, saying: "Now the demon world in the North Continent is peaceful and stable, the Leiyin Temple in the Western Region is divided into two factions and debates Buddhism all day long, the evil god in the Southern Barbarian Land has fallen, and although the Nine Continents are in chaos, they cannot threaten the East Continent."

"Yuqing, I have no reason to help you with this."

He paused and continued: "However, I owe you a favor, and I also owe Shang Yanfei a favor. Linglong also mentioned this matter half a month ago... Reincarnation Water, if you want it, you can go and get it yourself."

He naturally knew that the dragon whiskers fused in Ye Lingxuan's body were given by Mu Zhian.

Although the opportunity that Linglong gave Ye Lingxuan was given by Linglong, Linglong must have given this opportunity because of Mu Zhian.

As for Shang Yanfei...When Ye Lingxuan was born, he went to Liangyi Sect and asked Shang Yanfei to draw a formation for his daughter to seize the fortune of heaven and earth and pave the way for his daughter.

In a sense, it was Shang Yanfei who pushed Mu Zhian to go to the restricted area this time.

Since it was the request of these three people, it was difficult for him to refuse.

It seems that this father-in-law doesn't care about the situation in Dongzhou, but he is very concerned about Lingxuan's sister's affairs... Mu Zhian clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, senior!"

"Don't be too happy too soon."

The Lord of the restricted area snorted coldly: "I don't intend to interfere in Lingxuan's affairs. But..."

He turned his head and looked at Mu Zhian: "Whether you can step into the reincarnation pool depends on you."

It seems that the reincarnation water is not so easy to obtain? Mu Zhian heard the meaning of the Lord of the restricted area.

However, before Mu Zhian could ask, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone seemed to have lost his patience and waved his hand, saying, "Go."

Mu Zhian did not leave, but hesitated for a moment and said, "Junior has another question to ask."

Seeing that the Lord of the Forbidden Zone did not speak but did not refuse, Mu Zhian continued, "Can the curse in the Forbidden Zone directly affect a person's luck?"

"I don't have the leisure to chat with you about this matter." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone said lightly.

"The ancient book on the table may have records. For Lingxuan's sake, I can lend it to you for a few days." He continued.

Is it the book he just read...? Mu Zhian picked up the book that the Lord of the Forbidden Zone had just read.

He suddenly saw the densely written words on the page above.

Mu Zhian's eyes swept over the words on it, and then his eyes suddenly condensed, staring at a sentence in the ancient book: The bad luck constitution will directly affect the rise and fall of a dynasty, and the emergence of each generation of bad luck constitution represents the end of a dynasty.

And the bad luck constitution... is suspected to have existed since 10,000 years ago? !

Sister Meng Rou has a bad luck constitution...? Mu Zhian's thoughts flashed in his mind, and he quickly suppressed the shock in his heart, put the ancient book into the ring, and then bowed sincerely to thank: "Thank you, senior!"

"Don't thank me, this is for the sake of Linglong and the master, and also for the sake of my daughter. If you want to thank, thank them." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone said coldly.

"Please rest assured, senior. I will definitely treat Lingxuan well." Mu Zhian said.

The air in the hall seemed to freeze in an instant.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone raised his eyelids, looked deeply at Mu Zhian, and then pointed to the entrance of the hall.

"What do you mean, senior..." Mu Zhian tried to figure out the deep meaning of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone's action.

"Get lost." A byte came out of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone's mouth, simple and clear.

Mu Zhian grinned.

It seems that Lingxuan's father is not as unreasonable as imagined, but quite open-minded...

After Mu Zhian thanked him solemnly again, he turned around and walked out of the hall.

...

Shortly after Mu Zhian left the hall, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone suddenly sighed in the hall.

"Are you satisfied now?"

From the back of the hall, a girl in a purple skirt walked out of the shadows and smiled: "Thank you, Dad!"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone's eyes were full of helplessness and pampering.

She has already turned her back on him before she even gets married. What will happen if she really gets married in the future?

Besides being favored by the spirit dragon, what on earth is so attractive to his daughter about Mu Zhian?

If he knew that he would lose his daughter by going to Tianxuan City, he would never have sent Ye Lingxuan to the Ye family.

But there is no point in regretting it now... Besides, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone is actually quite open to his daughter's emotional issues.

But this does not mean that he really recognizes Mu Zhian casually.

In the end, he did agree to give Mu Zhian the reincarnation water.

However, whether he can get the reincarnation water and reshape the body of the Green Emperor...

This depends on Mu Zhian's own ability.
