So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

"It's strange. If there is evil spirit in Bai Mansion, why didn't I find the existence of evil spirit when I came here for the first time?"

Mu Zhian walked to the window and stared up at the misty pink mist rising in front of him.

Then, he glanced at the spiritual energy around him that had been purified by the energy of heaven, and he quickly understood.

The evil spirit was hidden in the mixed spiritual energy before, and I am afraid that there is some kind of barrier in the Bai Mansion to hide the evil spirit.

But Bai Ruoxi's heavenly energy just now "purified" the nearby spiritual energy, which also exposed the demonic energy in Bai Mansion.

"The Baifu and the demon cultivator are secretly cooperating?" Mu Zhi'an secretly thought.

Then, he quickly shook his head and denied this guess.

No, if Baifu and Yaoxiu had cooperated, they wouldn't have been suppressed so miserably by the Gongsun family and the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, Mu Zhian suddenly remembered what the black-robed man's accomplice Yuanshen had said before.

It said at the time that they came to Tianxuan City to join their companions and use Tianxuan City as a base to seize the Qi of Heaven.

In other words, they currently have no base in Tianxuan City...

Then here comes the problem.

Who has made some big moves recently and wants to occupy Tianxuan City as a stronghold?

If we reason according to normal thinking, both the Gongsun family and the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce have this possibility, but the Bai family does not have this possibility.

But the problem is...the evil spirit is now in the Bai family, which is the most unlikely place to appear.

The Bai family has been suppressed so miserably. No matter how you think about it, the mole must not be in the Bai family...

wrong……

Suddenly, a flash of blue lightning flashed through Mu Zhian's mind, and his body froze slightly.

If I have to say it, the Bai family does not have this possibility, but what if someone from the Bai family did it?

During the recent suppression of the Bai family, who has been making big moves secretly?

This speculation made Mu Zhian stand there for a long time. It was not until a while later that he returned to reality from his thoughts.

Mu Zhian held the table with his hands and jumped out of the window.

He stood in front of the corridor of the yard, glanced around, and after confirming that there were no patrolling servants nearby, he jumped on the roof, and his eyes soon fell on the backyard hut not far away.

From the roof of the hut, a wisp of pink smoke curled up, giving people an indescribable feeling of danger at first sight.

However, the miscellaneous spiritual energy is gradually refilling this space, and the pink smoke that was originally rising is gradually disappearing into this spiritual energy.

The demon cultivator is really in the Bai family...

Mu Zhian stared at the small house. After a while, he no longer hesitated, looked away, and quietly left the Bai Mansion.

In order to ensure his guess, he needed Wei Mengrou's personal protection.

…

Baifu, in the side hall.

Father Bai turned his head and looked at his daughter who was sitting beside him. She pursed her lips tightly and sat elegantly with an expressionless face.

"Xier, are you still angry with dad?" Bai's father said warmly.

Bai Ruoxi said expressionlessly: "I'm not angry with dad. I just wonder why dad acted like a normal person. That day, Master Mu took me to see Mom and other men with my own eyes..."

She turned her head and stared into Father Bai's eyes, bit her lip, and said, "Don't you also know about this?"

"I know...of course I know." Father Bai poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

"However, seeing it with your own eyes may not be the truth... Let me ask you, when you saw your mother and Gongsun Xiong that night, did you see them being intimate with your own eyes?"

Bai Ruoxi pursed her lips slightly and whispered: "I didn't see it, but I heard their conversation..."

Father Bai put down the teacup gently and slowly said to the empty side hall: "Madam, I'll leave the rest to you."

Bai Ruoxi raised her head slightly and saw a plump and beautiful woman walking out of the back door of the side hall.

Bai Ruoxi looked at her mother with complicated eyes.

To be honest, she hasn't figured out how to face her mother.

The mother and daughter stared at each other, but no one spoke.

Bai Ruoxi's mouth opened slightly, about to speak.

At this time, Bai Yuanfeng spoke first and whispered something.

Bai Ruoxi's eyes slowly opened wide, as if she heard something unbelievable.

She covered her mouth and stared at the plump woman in surprise.

After a long time, her eyes gradually became relieved.

Not long after, Bai Ruoxi left the side hall, her eyebrows relaxed a lot, but there was still a trace of worry in her eyes, as if she was worried about something.

She walked slowly along the corridor to her room, opened the door, and was shocked to find that Mu Zhian, who was supposed to be meditating in the room, had already disappeared.

It seems like he has gone back...

Bai Ruoxi felt a little disappointed in her heart, but she hid it well.

There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, after staying in the side hall for so long, Master Mu was probably impatient to wait.

Moreover, she hasn't figured out how to face Mu Zhian yet.

Tell him frankly that there is another secret behind mother's affairs?

What would he do if told directly?

Report this matter directly to Senior Sister Lan?

If this is the case, she will have to make a choice between the two parties in the future...

Bai Ruoxi's eyebrows were slightly lowered, her expression as bright and cold as frost and snow, her appearance was extremely beautiful, but her eyes were full of tangles at this moment.

She sighed quietly and shook her head to clear away the thoughts in her brain.

Then, he took out the Qi of Heaven, and after using it to purify the spiritual energy, the spiritual energy around him gradually entered his body.

Two hours passed unknowingly, and the sky outside the house had already darkened.

The big trees in the yard rustled in the wind, and the shadows of the trees swayed.

Bai Ruoxi slowly opened her eyes, changed into a white single dress, asked the maid to light sandalwood, dismissed the servants, and was about to go to bed.

At this time, she suddenly heard a slight commotion outside the window.

Bai Ruoxi immediately became alert and looked up, but only saw a young man jumping in from the window.

"Mr. Mu..."

Bai Ruoxi subconsciously grabbed the quilt in front of the bed, looked at Mu Zhian who entered the room, and hesitated: "How did you get in...?"

"I told the two maids during the day that I came to see you, and they let me in." Mu Zhian smiled, while looking at the beauty under the candlelight.

The eldest daughter of the Bai family was sitting in front of the bed. She had a graceful figure, black hair against a white dress, and her skin was white under the candlelight, giving off a feeling of a delicate beauty.

Mu Zhian walked to the bed and sat down, looking at the girl sideways, and said, "You don't seem to be in a good mood. Did your father come to you in the afternoon and say something that made you unhappy?"

Bai Ruoxi hesitated and struggled in her heart, sometimes looking at Mu Zhian, sometimes lowering her eyes.

Finally, she shook her head gently: "My father didn't say anything that made me unhappy."

"Did he say anything that surprised you or made you very uneasy?" Mu Zhian smiled and changed the question.

Bai Ruoxi was obviously stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned her head to look at him.

She looked at the smile on the boy's face, and the concerned look in his eyes when he stared at her. At this moment, the softness deep in her heart seemed to be gently poked by someone.

Bai Ruoxi opened her mouth slightly and said, "Master Mu, I want to tell you something."

"My father came to me this afternoon and told me about my mother--"

Before she finished speaking, Mu Zhian put his index finger on Bai Ruoxi's soft lips, and a gentle smile like a spring breeze appeared on his face.

"Don't say anything, what you have to do now is to sleep."

Bai Ruoxi gently pushed Mu Zhian's hand away and whispered, "But what I want to say may be very important to you--"

Mu Zhian waved his hand to interrupt: "It is very important, but you don't have to tell me."

"Someone will tell me soon." He continued.

It sounded as if he already knew something...Bai Ruoxi raised his head, looked at Mu Zhian in a dilemma, and asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, and said sincerely, "Can I sleep in your room tonight?"

Bai Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes.

Isn't this progress a bit too fast...and so many things happened today, she was in no mood to do anything at all.

She seemed to have overthinking it a bit... Mu Zhian saw the meaning of Bai Ruoxi's reaction and explained: "If you stay outside the Bai Mansion, you will be easily discovered, but if you stay in Miss Bai's room, no one will guess it."

"Is it okay?" Mu Zhian asked.

Did I misunderstand what he meant... Bai Ruoxi slowly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gently: "Of course it's okay... But why do you have to stay at the Bai family at night?"

Did he really agree... I can trick this young lady into bed more than ten times... Mu Zhian deliberately kept it a secret and said: "You will know at night."

Bai Ruoxi did not ask further, but just nodded gently, and then said: "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

In fact, Bai Ruoxi is not naive, but the time she spent together made her choose to believe in Mu Zhian unconditionally. If he wanted to suppress the Bai family, he could have done so a long time ago, but he did not do so.

Mu Zhian looked at the eldest daughter of the Bai family. If she were in modern times, she would probably be a queen, with a round face, a cold expression, a huge heart, and polite to everyone, but difficult to approach.

"There is one more thing that only you can do." Mu Zhian said seriously.

Bai Ruoxi looked at him curiously: "What is it?"

"I want to try what it tastes like without rouge." Mu Zhian put on a serious look.

Bai Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw Mu Zhian pressing her shoulders, letting her lean gently on the bed behind her.

"Woo..." Bai Ruoxi was about to speak, but her mouth was blocked, so she could only make a small whimper.

Her hair was scattered on the bed, and her smart eyes stared at the face close at hand, feeling the warm palm that gently held her little hand, her eyes gradually blurred, and finally gave up resistance.

However, she suddenly began to doubt whether Mu Zhian was here to do good things... or to do bad things.
