So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

"Only the living can sign an equal contract. Conversely, if you are not a living person, you cannot sign a contract..."

After sorting out this simple logic in his chaotic mind, Mu Zhian's smile remained unchanged, and then after a brief moment of daze, his smile stiffened little by little until the smile slowly disappeared.

If there was a bronze mirror on the table at this moment, he would see the whole process of his expression from a faint smile at the beginning to gradual hesitation and finally sluggishness.

Such a change in expression is impossible even for an actor with superb acting skills.

Mu Zhian stared at Lan Feiying dully, and as if to confirm that what he saw was not an illusion, he picked up the sheepskin contract again and looked at the text displayed on the contract.

Except for the extremely concise description above, there is no further explanation.

"How is it possible, how is it possible...?"

Mu Zhian said with difficulty: "Sister Feiying, do you think it's a problem with your system props?"

Lan Feiying shook her head gently: "This prop was given to me after I got rid of Ye Yu this time, and I have never seen any problems with the props given by my system."

Mu Zhian said blankly: "But if I am not a living person, how could I still be sitting here and chatting with you?"

"If I have no breath of a living person, there will be several great masters who have met me. Don't they see it?"

Even though most of the great masters he knew were not the real body, and Yao Meng's spiritual energy was not fully replenished at the beginning, what about the Queen of the Demon Realm?

What about Shang Yanfei?

None of them can see that they are not "living people"?

Lan Feiying also had some doubts in her eyes: "So I am also confused... Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with your aura. Is it really the influence of Heaven that makes us unable to sign a contract?"

Mu Zhian's face was extremely subtle: "No... Just as you said, Heaven cannot directly affect the contract between you and me."

"If Heaven can really interfere with others directly, it would not deliberately choose the Son of Heaven to represent its will."

"Even if it is Heaven, it must also abide by the rules of heaven and earth... because it cannot easily modify the rules and order between heaven and earth."

But if so, the fact that he and Lan Feiying cannot sign a contract now is inexplicable.

Mu Zhian's face was extremely ugly. He knew that he was undoubtedly alive now, but Lan Feiying's contract was wrong now, which was completely inexplicable.

"Could it be that I have become Schrödinger's Mu Zhian..." Mu Zhian couldn't help but complain.

Lan Feiying hesitated: "Schrödinger...?"

"Well... this involves scientific knowledge, which is a bit complicated to explain."

Mu Zhian was in a subtle mood. He picked up the teacup and wanted to drink some tea, but found that the tea was empty.

He put down the teacup: "For example, if I am put in a box, there must be two results in the box, either life or death. But the external observer can only know whether I am dead or alive when he opens the box."

Lan Feiying's eyes moved slightly: "You mean, my contract cannot determine whether you are dead or alive, so you and I cannot sign a contract?"

Now Mu Zhian is equivalent to being in a box, and this sheepskin contract is the external observer.

As long as the box is not opened, it is impossible to know whether Mu Zhian is dead or alive.

Mu Zhian said to himself: "In other words, although I am dead, I am also alive."

"Because I am in a 'box' now. To be precise, I am similar to Sister Meng Rou. Someone erased my existence a long time ago and blocked the secrets of heaven, so no external observer can confirm my life or death."

But why did the other party do this?

Blocking the secrets of heaven, even the system props that do not belong to this world cannot distinguish his life or death... That person spent so much effort, could it be just for fun?

Lan Feiying's eyes flashed slightly, and she was in doubt: "If so, it can indeed explain why this sheepskin contract cannot be signed with you, because to it, you are neither alive nor dead."

She stared into Mu Zhian's eyes and whispered: "For this sheepskin contract and even my system, there is no such person as Mu Zhian in this world."

Mu Zhian gathered his scattered thoughts, looked at the sheepskin contract on the table, and after being silent for an unknown period of time, he suddenly shuddered slowly.

Most people in Jiuzhou know the name Mu Zhian, but the system outside Jiuzhou cannot determine whether 'Mu Zhian' is dead or alive, and even thinks that there is no such person as Mu Zhian.

"Now that I think about it, when did I stop belonging to this world?"

"Was it like this from the beginning, or was my existence erased after I awakened the memory of my previous life?"

"But if so, why does the Heaven know my existence, and even let the 'chosen one' step on me as a stepping stone in the dark?"

Mu Zhian's face was extremely ugly, as if he had thought of an incredible and bold guess, and his eyes widened slightly.

"What's wrong? You seem to have thought of something?"

Lan Feiying asked with concern, her charming eyes full of concern.

Mu Zhian did not answer, his brain was running at high speed.

Thinking about it carefully, the Heaven has always regarded me as a 'stepping stone', a stepping stone stepped on by the Son of Heaven.

But I have such a close relationship with the Heavenly Court. Not only can I modify the rules of the Heavenly Court, but there is even a 'New Heavenly Way' in the Heavenly Court, which wants to replace the Nine Provinces Heavenly Way... Why does the Nine Provinces Heavenly Way know nothing about it, and has never even targeted me? Instead, just treat me as an inconspicuous stepping stone?

Because of ‘disguise’.

From the beginning to the end, I was neither a villain nor a stepping stone. Instead, I was deliberately assigned the identity of a ‘stepping stone’ in order to block the secrets of Heaven and let Heaven only treat me as an ordinary stepping stone to deceive others...

Mu Zhian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

After restraining his divergent thoughts, he asked: "Sister Fei Ying, since the system has come to you, can you see my information and so on?"

Lan Feiying sighed softly: "I would like to, but this system only gives me tasks. After completing the tasks, I can redeem props from the points mall. There are no other functions worth mentioning."

When she said this, there was a hint of regret in her tone: "If I had known this, I would have left Ye Yu to you to deal with it."

Sister Feiying treats me so well, and she also knows how to give up money to the later heroes... Mu Zhian felt a little warm in this cold winter, and his face softened a lot.

"If it doesn't work, forget it. Although it's a bit regretful, I can accept it if it's Sister Feiying." Mu Zhian said with a smile.

It's just that he obviously hasn't recovered from the shock of just knowing the truth, so his face is still a little pale.

Lan Feiying's beautiful eyes were worried, and she suddenly put her arms around the back of Mu Zhian's head, and then pressed her gently into her arms.

Mu Zhian's face was buried right in the heart of a gentle human heart. Although there was a layer of cheongsam material between them, he could still feel the weight and softness of the human heart.

As the charming sweet fragrance filled the air, Mu Zhian closed his eyes slightly, as if he could not help but be immersed in the warmth.

In this world full of intrigues, only the human heart can be somewhat warm...

Lan Feiying stroked Mu Zhian's hair, lowered her head slightly, her eyes were gentle, and said softly: "Don't worry, no matter what the will of heaven is, I will always be on your side."

"Even if it goes against the way of heaven?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

Lan Feiying lowered her eyes slightly and chuckled: "To me, you are my only good brother."

"Do you still remember what you told me when I first arrived at Tianxuan City?"

Mu Zhian was silent for a moment and said, "In the future, I want to marry a woman like Sister Fei Ying."

That was before he had awakened his past life memories and was not yet a playboy.

The Mu family in Tianxuan City has a great business, and everyone is afraid of it, and Mu Zhian is the eldest son of the Mu family... With power and no control, a boy under sixteen years old will It’s not surprising that you are blinded by beauty.

But even when he was a playboy, Lan Feiying never disliked him.

The atmosphere in the private room seemed a bit silent and ambiguous. Lan Feiying looked down at the young man in her arms, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end she held back.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Zhian left the heart full of sweet fragrance, raised his head, and stared at Lan Feiying's charming eyes and seductive rosy mouth.

When their eyes were fixed on each other, everything seemed to be hidden in their intertwined eyes.

"Aaaa?"

At this moment, a beautiful voice like singing suddenly came from the room.

Mu Zhian suddenly woke up and turned his head suddenly, only to find that there was a woman beside him at some point.

This was a very beautiful woman with disheveled silver hair. She was holding a big meat bun in her hand. She lowered her head and took a bite.

Sensing Mu Zhian's gaze, he hesitated for a moment and handed it to him.

"No need, you can eat what you want..." Mu Zhian waved his hand reservedly.

Lin Ling groaned and glanced at the tea on the table.

Mu Zhian understood immediately and poured her a cup of tea: "Please."

Lin Ling took a bite of the big meat bun, took another sip of tea, and repeated the process gracefully. After finishing the big meat bun, Lin Ling licked her fingertips again, feeling a little unfinished.

Lan Feiying looked at the woman in front of her in surprise, still in a state of astonishment.

She knew that Lin Ling and Mu Zhian were related, but she didn't expect that the relationship between the two was so close.

"By the way, Sister Lin Ling, what do you want from me?" Mu Zhian asked after seeing her finish eating.

Lin Ling squirted some water from the tea cup and wrote on the table: You must have encountered some trouble, so I am here to help you.

Mu Zhian was startled: "How do you know what problems Sister Feiying and I encountered?"

Lin Ling blinked her beautiful red eyes, then turned away silently and whistled.

I blew hard, but no sound came out, so that my cheeks became bulging and angry.

Mu Zhian held his forehead silently.

He always felt that when he came out of Lin Ling, the style and atmosphere seemed a little different.

"Forget it, since you know what problem I encountered, do you know how to solve it?"

Lin Ling nodded matter-of-factly and wrote a sentence on the desk.

"The second share of Heavenly Qi can absorb the luck voluntarily given by others and use it for one's own use."

"..."

Mu Zhian was stunned, looking at the innocent-looking silver-haired beauty in astonishment.

"What a coincidence...?" he murmured.
