So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Mu Zhian sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, absorbing the spiritual energy purified by the Qi of Heaven while waiting for night to fall.

It should be said that it is the product left by the strong men who once ascended to the immortal stage. The bonus brought by the Qi of Heaven is simply ridiculously strong. It is no wonder that the protagonists become more powerful after getting the golden finger.

It's a pity that if you want to speed up your cultivation, you can only do it by Bai Ruoxi's side... After all, this thing recognizes its owner, will not leave its owner's side, and will only purify the owner's aura.

Moreover, because of the bonus of the Heavenly Qi, Bai Ruoxi's absorption of spiritual energy will still be much faster than him.

If this progress continues, it may not take long for Bai Ruoxi to reach the peak of Qi refining.

But after that, she should be stuck at the peak of Qi refining for a year and a half.

From the Qi-Refining Realm to the God-Refining Realm, one cannot advance by just accumulating spiritual energy in the cauldron. It requires one's own insights.

Everyone has a different perception of the God Refining Realm.

Wei Mengrou's refining of gods is related to her experience as a child, so after entering the realm of refining gods, she has the ability to hide her own aura, making it difficult for enemies of the same level to find her presence.

Ren Lao's God Refining Realm can imprison other people's souls, but that soul is not a living thing, just a remnant soul.

As for Mu Zhian himself... he is not in a hurry and cannot be in a hurry.

After all, he is a "good-for-nothing young master". He has been neglected for such a long time, and it is not easy to make up for it.

However, after Bai Ruoxi activated the "Bronze Sword" that day, Mu Zhian began to suspect something.

——Is Ye Yu the protagonist, or is Bai Ruoxi the protagonist?

Or... after getting rid of the "protagonist" Ye Yu, the "protagonist" also changed, from Ye Yu to Bai Ruoxi?

Hmm... Anyway, the protagonist is better than the "genius" young master of the Ye family before... After all, Miss Bai is from his side.

And the rouge is delicious too.

Mu Zhian adjusted his breath and slowly opened his eyes.

Bai Ruoxi seemed to have fallen asleep at this moment. She was lying in the dimness, her graceful figure was covered by a thin quilt. The slightly raised arc of the quilt showed the hugeness of the girl's heart. In the dimness, she seemed to be able to see some white snow. skin color.

Mu Zhi'an glanced twice, withdrew his gaze, turned around and quietly opened the door.

Just before Bai Ruoxi took a rest, he asked Bai Ruoxi to use the Qi of Heaven to purify the nearby spiritual energy. The pure spiritual energy has not completely disappeared yet.

Likewise...the demonic aura has not completely disappeared.

Mu Zhian raised his head slightly, saw the evil spirit rising from a certain hut in mid-air, and walked quietly away.

He was hiding in the corner by the window of the house just like last time.

After waiting patiently for nearly an hour, the door was quietly pushed open.

Mu Zhian held his breath and saw a plump woman crossing the threshold and walking out of the room.

It was late at night, but she was dressed a little thinly, with some light makeup on her face. She walked gracefully in the Bai family's yard. With every step she took, her waist swayed gracefully from side to side.

"Mrs. Bai, it's so late, where are you going?" Mu Zhian suddenly said.

A sudden sound caused Bai Yuanfeng's body to freeze slightly, his steps stopped in place, and he slowly turned his head.

When she saw the young man hiding in the shadows, there was a hint of surprise on her face.

"Master Mu...when were you at the Bai family?!"

"I asked someone to use some secret techniques. As long as I don't have any murderous intention towards you, you won't notice me." Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Wei Mengrou's ability in the Divine Refining Realm is very useful, but the premise is that she cannot have murderous intent on the target she is following.

But Mu Zhian did not have any murderous intention towards Mrs. Bai.

Bai Yuanfeng's eyes flashed slightly, and soon, a charming smile full of charm appeared on the beautiful woman's face, and she said: "Young Master Mu stayed up in the middle of the night and secretly came to my Bai Mansion to find my daughter. "?"

She walked slowly towards Mu Zhian, and finally came to him.

Bai Yuanfeng continued: "Girls don't like to be harassed by others in the middle of the night, so it's better to be more careful?"

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "I have been in Ruoxi's room just now."

Bai Yuanfeng's smile faltered.

After a long time, she said softly: "I still approve of the marriage between Ruoxi and you. If you don't mind, I will help you in the future."

"Is it to place an informant in the Mu family, or to prevent his daughter from being implicated after the truth about being a demon cultivator is revealed?" Mu Zhian said with a smile.

There was a hint of cold luster in Bai Yuanfeng's charming and passionate eyes.

Mu Zhian explained calmly: "Calm down, Ruoxi and I were chatting in the room just now."

The underlying meaning of this statement is: I may be your future son-in-law, you should consider it before taking action.

Bai Yuanfeng stopped laughing, "You are really brave to say such things in front of other people's mothers."

"We really love each other." Mu Zhian looked serious.

"How many people in Tianxuan City don't want to truly love my daughter?" Bai Yuanfeng snorted.

"How about we find a place to sit down and talk?" Mu Zhian asked tentatively.

"Let's talk here, there is no one else around here." Bai Yuanfeng sighed softly.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask. Aren't you hiding here just waiting for me to come out?"

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and said, "Where is Tongmai Pill?"

"You should have heard it from my daughter." Bai Yuanfeng narrowed her eyes, her voice soft and sweet: "I gave it to Gongsun Xiong."

Mu Zhian frowned and said: "Gongsun Xiong can't die yet."

"Why?" Bai Yuanfeng pretended to be puzzled, but stared at Mu Zhian.

She wanted to test Mu Zhian to see how smart the young man who was very likely to become her future son-in-law was.

"If he died, the Gongsun family would immediately introduce a new patriarch. The size of the Bai family cannot swallow the Gongsun family." Mu Zhian said.

Bai Yuanfeng smiled and said softly: "Who told you that I wanted to murder Gongsun Xiong?"

"I just let him lie down for a few more months."

Gongsun Xiong is at the peak of the spirit refining. After recovering from this serious injury, he will definitely use the Tongmai Pill to fight for a chance to advance to the Return to Void Realm.

But if the Tongmai Pill was tampered with... then the result would be completely different.

Compared with her mother, Bai Ruoxi is as innocent as a little white rabbit.

But it just so happens that Mu Zhian likes little white rabbits.

Moreover, although Bai Ruoxi looks like a little white rabbit, there are also some things about her that are not like little white rabbits.

"Uncle was ambushed when he came back from the neighboring city that day. Did you provide the information to the Gongsun family?" Mu Zhian asked.

Seeing Bai Yuanfeng nod, Mu Zhian frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid that uncle will be killed by the cultivators of the Gongsun family on the way back?"

Bai Yuanfeng showed a charming smile on her face: "Master Mu, you are indeed a very smart child. I will be relieved if Ruoxi is with you in the future, but... your realm is too low, and you don't understand the true mystery of the realm of refining spirits."

Bai Yuanfeng slowly spread out his palm.

Mu Zhian's eyes condensed slightly, and he suddenly saw a soul in the palm of the beautiful woman.

That was the soul of a servant in the Bai Mansion, which was just caught by Bai Yuanfeng.

She flicked her finger, and the soul quickly flew out and flew back into the servant's body.

Sensing Mu Zhian's surprised look, Bai Yuanfeng said, "I was at the scene at the time. If the master got into trouble, I could immediately take away his soul."

This secret method is a bit similar to the old man's, except that Ren Lao's secret method is used to interrogate others, and the souls captured are all dead.

However, Bai Yuanfeng's secret method can save people at critical moments, but there should be disadvantages... Mu Zhian thought secretly.

Bai Yuanfeng is right, he still knows too little about the Refining Spirit Realm.

If he knew that some cultivators in the Refining Spirit Realm could take away other people's souls directly, his thinking would be much more active, and he would not have discovered the truth until now.

"Why did you choose me instead of Ye Yu for Ruoxi?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

"Ye Yu has talent but an arrogant personality. I don't know how many geniuses like him I have seen in the past, and most of them eventually fell in the middle of their careers."

Bai Yuanfeng said: "To be honest, I am not satisfied with either you or Ye Yu, but if I have to choose one, the Mu family, as a big backer, makes me feel more at ease."

"Are you and Gongsun Xiong really..." Mu Zhian asked again.

Bai Yuanfeng narrowed her eyes slightly and said softly: "What do you think?"

Her body was changing, and the shadow behind her was like a peacock spreading its tail, with three tails quietly unfolding.

Mu Zhian's eyes were slightly fixed.

It's really a demon cultivator... and a three-tailed fox...

No wonder she can disguise herself so well and deceive Gongsun Xiong to death...

Gongsun Xiong thought he had something to do with Mrs. Bai, but maybe Gongsun Xiong was just hugging the pillar every night to satisfy himself.

And in this case, Bai Ruoxi is the child of a three-tailed fox and a human...?

No wonder I couldn't help but stare at Bai Ruoxi's heart before, so that's what happened...Mu Zhian understood slightly in his heart.

He thought it was his LSP, but now it seems that it was simply because Bai Ruoxi inherited her mother's "charm".

Well... it's definitely not his fault. He was a little restless in Bai Ruoxi's boudoir tonight, which must be the fault of the three-tailed fox.

"What are you going to do next?" Mu Zhian asked.

"Originally, I planned to annex the Gongsun family, but the examiner from Liangyi Sect went down the mountain early." Bai Yuanfeng frowned slightly when she said this.

Lan Murian's going down the mountain completely disrupted her plan.

Gongsun Xiong is a person who has an incomparable desire for power. Originally, as long as Gongsun Xiong had a problem with his body after taking Tongmai Pills, the Bai family would have a chance to take action.

Because the Gongsun family, which is unwilling to give up power, will be a mess in a short time, even if the Bai family cannot swallow the Gongsun family, they can still get a lot of wool from the Gongsun family.

But the examiner for this sect assessment is in Tianxuan City. If the movement is too loud, it will inevitably attract the attention of the other party.

"It's not appropriate for the Bai family to make too much noise now, or it will attract the attention of the examiner." Mu Zhian said.

Bai Yuanfeng nodded silently.

She knew this, so there has been no movement in the past two days.

"But the Mu family can make some noise." Mu Zhian said again.

Bai Yuanfeng was slightly startled, and subconsciously said: "Do you want to annex the Gongsun family?"

"I don't have the idea of ​​annexing the Gongsun family, and I won't have it." Mu Zhian smiled, "But I have the idea of ​​fleecing them, and it's very big."

Gongsun Xiong was reluctant to give up power, but he was seriously injured. If he didn't take this opportunity to slaughter him, when would he wait?

Bai Yuanfeng stared at Mu Zhian silently.

She worked so hard to lay the groundwork for so long, but ended up giving someone else a dowry, which made her a little unwilling.

But then she thought about it, it seemed that this could also be considered as one of the dowries for her daughter in the future... Thinking about it this way, she felt a little better.

If Bai Ruoxi and Mu Zhian were together in the future, the Mu family and the Bai family would become relatives, and it seemed that they would not lose anything.

"It's a bargain for you, child." Bai Yuanfeng said faintly.

Mu Zhian smiled: "Madam Bai is not easy to take over the hot potato, I will help you take it over, this is also a filial piety, isn't it?"

Bai Yuanfeng said "huh".

Why didn't I realize that this playboy from the Mu family was so smart before... Could it be that he was pretending before?

Bai Yuanfeng looked at Mu Zhian, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, with a look like looking at her son-in-law.

"Madam Bai, there is still one thing I don't understand." Mu Zhian suddenly said.

"You go." Bai Yuanfeng nodded.

"Why did the black-robed man know you were in Tianxuan City?" Mu Zhian asked.

According to Bai's father, Bai Yuanfeng grew up in Tianxuan City in the past. Why did the people in the demon world know that there were also his accomplices in Tianxuan City?

"The demon world has been laying spies everywhere for a long time, and I am just one of them. And it was only this year that I received an order from the demon world to prepare a base to meet my companions."

Bai Yuanfeng was silent for a moment, and continued: "I don't know the specific situation, but the seventh seat's intelligence network is very large. If it is her intelligence network, it is not surprising that she knows my identity."

"The seventh seat of the demon world...?" Mu Zhian said to himself.

The black-robed man is also, and Bai Yuanfeng is also, it seems that they are all spies of the seventh seat...

This is really a bit strange. Tianxuan City is not far from the foot of the Liangyi Sect... How can the demon cultivators secretly do things under the nose of the Liangyi Sect?

Could it be that the seventh seat of the demon world is in the sect of the Liangyi Sect... Mu Zhian was half joking in his heart

But for some reason, I felt that this was possible.

He quickly gathered his thoughts and said, "Mrs. Bai's family is pretty happy. If you want to live a normal life, you should be more cautious in the future."

After that, Mu Zhian turned and walked towards the gate of Bai's house.

He had made his words very clear. If Bai Yuanfeng listened, she should be more restrained in the future.

The beautiful woman with a charming figure looked at Mu Zhian. The silver moonlight fell on her body. The shadow of her three tails twisted slowly, which looked particularly weird.

She turned back to the room until Mu Zhian's back completely disappeared from her sight.

Originally, she planned to go to Gongsun's house to "visit" Gongsun Xiong tonight, but now she thinks that Mu Zhian is right. She still needs to be more restrained during this period.

Anyway, all her accomplices are dead, so there is no need for her to find ways to occupy Tianxuan City.

After all, if it is not the order of the seventh seat, who wants to be controlled by others?

At the same time.

"How do you plan to deal with her?"

When Mu Zhian was walking on the way back, the shadow beside him suddenly twisted, and Wei Mengrou in a yellow skirt quietly appeared, staring at his profile and asked.

"Let her go for now, and let Elder Ren take care of her later." Mu Zhian said faintly.

Bai Yuanfeng might have meant to test him just now, but Bai Yuanfeng didn't know that Mu Zhian was also testing her.

If Bai Yuanfeng took action when he left, Wei Mengrou would naturally come out to stop him.

Bai Yuanfeng's true strength is probably more than the Qi training realm, but if they want to leave, Bai Yuanfeng can't stop them.

Once they leave the Bai Mansion, Lan Murian will immediately know the identity of the third demon cultivator.

By then, the Bai family will be completely finished.

There is a life-and-death struggle between demon cultivators and human cultivators. Hiding a demon cultivator is a serious crime and will be despised by everyone.

"Are you going to tell Lan Murian about the demon cultivator?" Wei Mengrou asked.

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "The sect assessment is coming soon. Senior Sister Lan doesn't have that much time to think about this. Besides, as long as Madam Bai stays in the Bai family, no one will notice her evil spirit."

"Well...but the energy of heaven can restrain the evil spirit. Go back and inform the servants to invite Ruoxi to the Mu family early tomorrow morning and tell them that I have something to talk to her about."

Wei Mengrou glanced at Mu Zhian coldly.

She said that she was just chatting with Bai Ruoxi, but by then, it might not be just a simple chat.
