So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

The next day, evening.

Regina was practicing in seclusion in her room, waiting for Mu Zhian to lose patience and come to her.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Regina raised her head slightly and said calmly: "Come in."

Pushing the door open, looking at the old man standing at the door, Regina's eyes showed a hint of doubt and said, "Gurban, what can I do for you?"

"Mu Zhian went to see Tang Sophie, the saint of the World Sea, today." Gurban said in a deep voice.

Mu Zhian went to find the Saint of the World Sea...?

Regina couldn't help but have a little doubt in her eyes: "What is he doing with people from the Sea of ​​​​World? They should not know each other."

Gurban pondered for a moment and said: "I have heard in the past that there is also a secret technique in the world sea, which is related to shielding the secrets of heaven. Could it be..."

Regina was stunned for a moment, then seemed to react, bit her lower lip lightly, and said angrily: "What a wanton man!"

Doesn’t that guy Mu Zhian have a Taoist companion? He actually went to find another woman to make a deal with when he had already made a deal with her? !

"Miss, what should we do now?" Gurban's old brows frowned, and there was a bit of confusion in his cloudy eyes.

The secret skills of Southern Wilderness cannot be revealed, but the other party brought out a first-grade skill, and even a first-grade skill that can evolve... Not to mention Regina, even the gods in Southern Wilderness would be moved.

A first-grade skill has such value.

Regina took a gentle breath and exhaled slowly.

"Have someone ask him to come over."

She looked up at Gurban and said quietly: "Just say that I agree to the deal he proposed."

…

Guiyi Palace.

Mu Zhian came to the villa where Regina lived on the invitation. At this moment, he closed his eyes slightly and felt the black mist surrounding him.

The secret technique of Southern Wilderness is to use this black mist to cover one's body, completely shielding one's own aura and even the secret of heaven.

At this moment, this Southern Wilderness secret technique has been imprinted in Mu Zhian's mind.

Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes.

"Happy cooperation, Miss Regina." He raised his head and looked at the blond girl with a pretty face covered with frost, with the same gentle smile as always on his face.

He didn't actually go to find anyone from the Sea of ​​​​World. He just went to hang out with the Saint of the Sea of ​​​​World, but he didn't even talk to her.

But just that, the drama is enough.

"Mr. Mu, don't forget that there is more than one transaction between you and me. I hope you can cherish yourself before that." Regina's face was cold, her lips were pressed tightly, and she stared at Mu Zhian faintly.

Her original trading plan was to exchange Southern Wilderness Secret Techniques for first-grade skills, and at the same time, she made Mu Zhian promise to conduct the transaction before the Immortal Ascension Conference began.

As a result, Mu Zhian went to find people in the Sea of ​​​​World today... This made people a little uneasy.

If the people on the other side of the World Sea finally agree to Mu Zhian's deal, the matter of the Tiansheng Furnace will be exposed to other female cultivators.

This is very detrimental to her.

We can no longer continue to create extraneous matters.

Mu Zhian raised his fingertips, looked at the black mist lingering in his hands, and smiled: "Miss Regina, please rest assured, I will never break my promise."

"I will come find you after the Immortal Ascension Conference is over."

Regina looked at Mu Zhian who stood up to leave, and suddenly said: "Mr. Mu is not willing to exchange first-grade skills for secret skills, just for the luck of a maid?"

Mu Zhian waved his hand and walked out of the hall without looking back, just flying his sword in the direction of Liangyi Peak.

He wanted to borrow a test tablet from Lan Mulian and test whether Wei Mengrou's bad luck would change after applying the Southern Wilderness Secret Technique to Wei Mengrou.

…

Tianhe Garden.

After Mu Zhian returned to Bieyuan, he walked straight into Wei Mengrou's room.

The maid who was meditating immediately noticed Mu Zhian's aura, so after the spiritual energy circulated in her body for a week, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Sister Mengrou, won't I disturb you?" Mu Zhian waved to her.

"Where have you been?" Wei Mengrou asked.

"Miss Regina is very hospitable and just received me again." Mu Zhian walked up to Wei Mengrou with a smile.

Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed the pendant on her chest.

After taking off the bronze fragment, he sat in front of the bed, minding his own business. He gently rubbed the surface of the bronze fragment with his thumb, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly swept his spiritual consciousness over it.

After Wei Mengrou refined the bronze fragment before, her bad luck was partly suppressed, and this was probably related to the shielding secret contained in the bronze fragment.

If this guess is correct, it means that as long as Wei Mengrou can completely shield her existence and hide it from God, the bad luck will probably disappear completely.

After nearly a stick of incense, Mu Zhian suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a bit of strangeness in his eyes when he looked at the bronze fragments.

Wei Mengrou stared at her young master and said, "What did you find?"

"This bronze fragment does have the ability to shield the secrets of heaven, and the secret method of shielding the secrets of heaven is completely consistent with the secret technique of Nanhuang." Mu Zhian raised his fingertips, and a wisp of black mist silently enveloped his body.

Almost at that moment, Wei Mengrou found that she seemed to be unable to see her young master's face clearly, because his body was covered by a layer of black mist, and even with the use of spiritual sense, he could not identify his identity.

Wei Mengrou frowned slightly and said to herself: "So, this bronze fragment may have originated from the Southern Wilds?"

In ancient times, many powerful people fell for some reasons, and the world was in turmoil. When the weapons and magic weapons of those powerful people were broken, they were divided into several fragments.

During this period, Jiuzhou has undergone tens of thousands of years of evolution. Even if one of the bronze fragments fell to Dongzhou, it is not impossible.

Mu Zhian played with the bronze fragment in his hand, but there was a bit of thought in his eyes.

It seems that if there is a chance in the future, I have to go to the Southern Wilds to investigate.

Mu Zhian quickly gathered his thoughts and reached out to grab Wei Mengrou's cold and soft little hand.

Before the maid spoke, she noticed that the black mist that originally covered Mu Zhian was slowly covering her body.

"The secret technique of the Southern Wilds can hide the caster and the people around him in it, and during the period of the black mist, others cannot deduce anything about the caster." Mu Zhian explained.

In a sense, this Southern Wilderness Secret Art is quite compatible with Wei Mengrou. If her concealment ability is combined with the Southern Wilderness Secret Art, people with higher realms than Wei Mengrou may not be able to detect her existence.

It's just a pity that according to Regina's meaning, this secret art can only be handed over to a designated person by each generation of saints. Now she has handed this secret art to Mu Zhian, and Mu Zhian can no longer teach it to others.

Otherwise, Wei Mengrou's strength may be improved a lot.

The black fog enveloped the two of them, and the surrounding environment gradually became dark.

Mu Zhian took out the test tablet that he had borrowed from Senior Sister Lan before, enlarged it with a spell, glanced at Wei Mengrou and said: "Sister Mengrou, test your luck now."

If Yu Ziyan's previous guess was correct, then after blocking the secret of heaven, does it mean that Wei Mengrou's bad luck will also be reduced?

Wei Mengrou stretched out a slightly cool jade hand from her thin sleeves, and her palm touched the stone tablet.

A wisp of spiritual energy was injected into the stone tablet, and the stone tablet lit up a faint light.

Then, a ray of black light gradually appeared in the field of vision.

In just a few seconds, the stone tablet lit up with a strange and deep black light.

But this time, the black light was obviously not as exaggerated as in the past test in Tianxuan City.

Mu Zhian and Wei Mengrou looked at each other, and the latter's eyes quickly returned to the stone tablet, whispering to herself: "Bad luck has become much weaker..."

"This shows that this route is correct. We are now in the black fog of the Southern Wilderness Secret Art, which blocks some of the secrets of heaven, so the "restrictions" of heaven on you are also reduced a lot." Mu Zhian said.

He then raised his head and looked at the black light emerging on the stone tablet, and suddenly doubted: "Sister Mengrou, do you feel that this black light is like a human figure?"

Wei Mengrou raised her head and stared.

Just as Mu Zhian said, the light on the test tablet seemed to outline a very vague human figure.

It was a very blurry figure, but it seemed to be full of some kind of magic. When people saw this figure for the first time, they felt an indescribable palpitation.

Crack.

At this moment, a crisp and pleasant cracking sound suddenly came from the test monument.

Mu Zhian subconsciously looked up, but only saw a crack on the test monument. Then, cracking sounds rang out in the room, and dense spider-web-like cracks appeared on the stone monument.

"Be careful!"

Mu Zhian's eyes suddenly widened, and he stepped forward and bent down to protect Wei Mengrou, with one hand on the back of her head.

Wei Mengrou's forehead was just against Mu Zhian's chest.

Boom!

The test monument exploded, and the broken stones burst out.

Mu Zhian's spiritual energy also burst out, blocking the broken stones of the test monument.

The whole room was filled with the smell of dust. Mu Zhian put one hand on the back of Wei Mengrou's head and squinted his eyes.

The test tablet had been completely shattered.

Wei Mengrou had no problems the last time she took the test in Tianxuan City, but now there was a problem?

Mu Zhian's eyes were filled with doubt.

Also, who was the figure that appeared on the test tablet just now...?

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

Just as Mu Zhian was thinking about these things, he suddenly felt a soft breath coming from his chest. After a moment, Wei Mengrou opened her small red lips slightly, and said in a pleasant voice as calm as ice cubes falling into a water cup: "Can you let go?"

Mu Zhian came back to his senses and looked down at the maid who was held in his arms with one hand.

Her face was as cold as ever, and her lips were tightly pursed, as if she had never had any emotional fluctuations.

Mu Zhian was about to let go of Wei Mengrou, when a concerned and anxious voice suddenly came from outside the house: "Brother Mu, what happened?"

It was Ye Qian's voice.

One could clearly feel Wei Mengrou's delicate body tremble slightly, and she immediately raised her hand to push Mu Zhian away.

The thought of teasing arose in Mu Zhi'an's mind, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He immediately reached out to hold the maid's cool and soft hand. When she suddenly raised her head and glared at him, he stared into her eyes and said with a smile: "There's just something wrong with the test, but it's okay, don't worry."

Wei Mengrou's pretty face was covered with frost. She pulled her delicate hand away from Mu Zhian's clenched palm and took two steps back.

"What's wrong with Qian'er today?" Mu Zhian asked in a calm tone.

"Sister Siyu said that she encountered some difficulties in cultivation and would like to ask you to help her solve them..." Ye Qian's soft voice came.

Are you sure your sister Siyu is planning to ask me questions instead of trying to embarrass me... Mu Zhian felt Wei Mengrou's cold gaze, nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I understand, you go back first, I will be there in a moment Looking for you."

It just so happened that he also planned to have a good relationship with his future aunt. Even if Ye Siyu didn't look for him, he planned to get in touch with that somewhat out-of-touch girl in the next few days.

Ye Qian first said "hmm", then hesitated for a moment, and continued: "By the way, two people from World Sea came to see my sister today, saying they wanted to test whether she was the original witch."

"The original witch?" Mu Zhian repeated, wondering: "What is the relationship between the original witch and your sister?"

"The reincarnation pool seems to be transferred from the depths of the world sea, and my sister happens to be the person in the restricted area who is most suitable for the reincarnation pool, so they doubt that my sister is the person they are looking for." Ye Qian said.

Mu Zhian showed a thoughtful expression.

There is a lot of connection between the restricted area and the World Sea. After all, the holy water in the Reincarnation Pool was transferred from a treasure place deep in the World Sea.

Almost everyone with bloodline in the restricted area will undergo a test and awakening ceremony in the reincarnation pool. As the person who is most suitable for the reincarnation pool, it is not surprising that Ye Lingxuan is suspected by the people of the World Sea to be the reincarnation of the original witch.

"Brother Mu, I'm going back first."

At this time, Ye Qian's voice came from outside again, which also brought Mu Zhian back to reality.

Until he heard the footsteps outside gradually fading away, Mu Zhian looked relieved and said, "You really scared me to death just now, Sister Mengrou."

Wei Mengrou gave Mu Zhian a look of disdain and disdain, and said coldly: "Next time this happens again, I don't mind letting you lie on the ground and confess your mistakes."

The maid, with contemptuous eyes, wearing black and white silk stockings, the master lying on the ground, confessing his mistake to the maid... Why does it sound so bad... Mu Zhian apologized sincerely:

"It was just a joke, I know it was wrong."

There was no point in lying on the floor. If it was like Fairy Yao Meng did that night, he wouldn't mind lying on the floor in this winter.

Sister Mengrou, please step on me!

Mu Zhian raised his hand and temporarily put the pebbles from the test stele on the ground into the ring. Then he sighed and said helplessly: "This test stele is said to be quite expensive. I don't know if I can afford to pay for it."

Wei Mengju said: "After this, I will go to Senior Sister to explain this matter."

She has been in the Liang Yi Sect for so long and has extra resources and spirit stones every month. There is no problem if she wants to pay for a test monument.

"You'd better keep the spirit stone. I'll just go tell my senior sister." Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled.

When he was in the Sword Palace before, Mu Zhian, the "unscrupulous planner", got a lot of spiritual stones from the "Krypton Gold Sow", so it was natural to pay for a test monument.

What's more, Lan Mulian may not accept Mu Zhian's compensation.

When Wei Mengrou heard this, she could only nodded slightly.

Just looking at Mu Zhian turning away, Wei Mengrou's eyes were full of doubts.

Who was the figure that appeared in the test monument at that time...?

…

At this moment, in Dexin Garden, the saint Tang Sophie from the sea of ​​the world was holding a dark box, but there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

They thought that this forbidden saint who perfectly matched the reincarnation pool would be the person they were looking for, but unexpectedly, the box did not respond to Ye Lingxuan.

This also means that she is not the person they are looking for.

The reincarnation water in the restricted area was guided from the depths of the World Sea. This time the two came to Dongzhou, partly for the Immortal Ascension Conference, but more importantly, to find clues to the original witch.

Someone who can resonate with the reincarnation water may be the person they are looking for.

But Ye Siyu, Ye Lingxuan and the others had just tested it, and the box left over from the original witch's past did not react to them in any way.

Although she was a little disappointed, Tang Sophie still showed a soft smile, stared at the girl in purple skirt in front of her, and said softly: "Sister Lingxuan, I'm really sorry for wasting a lot of your time."

Ye Lingxuan smiled lightly and said: "Sister Tang wants to find the former owner of World Sea as soon as possible. I can understand this feeling. I hope your trip to Dongzhou goes well."

Next to Tang Sophie, the young man wearing a luxurious robe, Gu Hua, smiled and said: "Miss Ye is very talented. If we meet in the martial arts world in the future, please be more considerate."

Ye Lingxuan nodded reservedly, and her attitude was obviously much colder than when she treated Tang Sophie before.

In response, Gu Hua had no choice but to shake his head, but still maintained a handsome young man's smile.

Even in the past when he was in the sea of ​​​​the world, he had never seen a little beauty like Ye Lingxuan. Both talent and appearance were top-notch, and the pride she held up was even more attractive.

But the other party's attitude was so cold now, so naturally it was difficult for him to continue talking to him. After Tang Sophie said goodbye, the two turned around and planned to leave.

When the two of them turned around to leave, Ye Lingxuan's eyes suddenly brightened up behind him, and he shouted in a sweet voice: "Brother Mu...Mr. Mu!"

When she realized that there were outsiders, Ye Lingxuan immediately changed her tune quickly, adhering to the 'dignity' of a saint in the restricted area.

Gu Hua was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up, just in time to see a young man wearing a black robe with gold thread walking into the villa. His face had clear lines and a tall nose, and he looked quite handsome.

Mu Zhian... Tang Sophie was thoughtful. When she noticed Mu Zhian's gaze, she smiled and nodded.

Mu Zhian smiled back, and then walked straight in the direction of Ye Lingxuan.

Gu Hua raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his head to glance subconsciously.

The girl in the purple skirt who had been indifferent just now now had a faint smile on her face. Although she maintained her usual reserve, there was obviously genuine happiness in her eyes.

"It seems that your plan has failed." Tang Sophie said with a gloating smile, her lips slightly raised.

She naturally knew that the Holy Son had a very rare attraction to Ye Lingxuan just after seeing her, but in less than a quarter of an hour, he fell out of love at the speed of light, which was inevitably interesting.

Gu Hua quickly came to his senses, said "ha" and said with a smile: "They just seem to have a good relationship. When this trip to the martial arts world is over, Miss Ye will know who is more suitable for her."

"Do you think you can defeat this Mr. Mu?" Tang Sophie asked with a smile.

Gu Hua smiled lightly and said, "Of course you can."

Mu Zhian is at the peak of the fourth level of God Refining, and he is at the seventh level of God Refining. The three major levels cannot be won by relying on the so-called foundation.

"Then do you think you can beat Sister Lingxuan?" Tang Sophie asked again.

This time, Gu Hua was silent for a long time.

"...It's difficult." He answered truthfully.

They are all talented disciples of the ancient family. He has fought against many talented people in the past, but so far, only when he first came into contact with Ye Lingxuan, he had experienced unexplainable psychological pressure.

That beautiful lady of heaven is probably the most powerful contender in this Immortal Ascension Conference.

This is his intuition.

And his intuition has not missed him so far.

"Mr. Mu can't beat Sister Lingxuan, and you can't beat Sister Lingxuan, so what's the use of beating Mr. Mu?" Tang Sophie said murderously.

Gu Hua chuckled, looked sideways, and said with a smile: "At least it shows that I am better than him."

"You are so outstanding, why haven't I seen you treat Sister Lingxuan to submission?" Tang Sophie glanced at the garden behind her.

Gu Hua subconsciously looked around. Ye Lingxuan, who had a cold face just now, was being held by Mu Zhian with a small hand. He seemed to have whispered something in Ye Lingxuan's ear, causing a charming look to appear on the girl's face. The blush is really pretty.

This scene made even a broad-minded person like Gu Hua look almost distorted and difficult to accept.

As if aware of the two people's gazes, Ye Lingxuan recovered from her shyness and raised her head. Under her beautiful and charming face, there was a bit of coldness in her eyes.

Obviously, she has no habit of showing affection in front of others.

Tang Sophie smiled at her and whispered: "Go back first. This matter needs to be discussed again with the elders."

There are many geniuses in the Liangyi Sect. If the great elder's prediction is correct, if the former master of the World Sea is really still alive and in the East Continent, with the talent of the original witch, it stands to reason that he should have been in Liangzhou long ago. It's only right that he becomes famous within Yi Zong.

Since neither Ye Lingxuan nor Ye Siyu are the original witches, we can only conduct the investigation again.

And just when Tang Sophie was about to look back and leave, she suddenly felt the box in her hand vibrate slightly, as if something inside was about to jump out of the box!

Tang Sophie was stunned for a moment.

...is the box responding? !

But she had just conducted the test, and the two beauties of heaven in the restricted area should have nothing to do with the original witch——

Tang Sophie seemed to have remembered something, and slowly turned her head, staring at Mu Zhian in astonishment with a bit of horror.

Gu Hua noticed something strange about the saint next to him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

"Could it be that you have fallen in love with this Mr. Mu?" There was a hint of ridicule in his tone.

Tang Sophie did not have any intention of joking, and said with a somewhat hesitant tone: "The box has reacted to Mu Zhian."

Gu Hua raised his head suddenly, and a ridiculous idea flashed through his mind.

He is... the original witch?
