So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

In the next two days, Mu Zhian meditated and practiced in Yunzhou, waiting for the princess to deal with the follow-up trivial matters caused by the turmoil in the Forbidden Land of Life.

And occasionally when Mu Zhian sat cross-legged in the guest room to meditate and practice, the princess would protect him.

The attendant who had been responsible for secretly observing the princess's movements in the past two days saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a little more worried.

He felt that the wife of His Majesty the Great Peng Emperor seemed to be too close to Mu Zhian in the past two days.

Although he didn't believe that the princess would betray the Great Peng Emperor, she was indeed very close to Mu Zhian in the past two days, which was an unchangeable fact.

In order to be on the safe side, the attendant quietly left the courtyard where Mu Zhian lived on the same day and reported the matter to the Great Peng Emperor.

"You mean, my beloved concubine has been very close to Mu Zhian these two days?"

The Great Peng Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, but his voice was a bit stern, and he said: "Do you know what the consequences will be if you alienate the relationship between me and my beloved concubine?"

"I dare not, I dare not! It's just that I really saw the princess often leave her courtyard to see Mu Zhian these two days. Although I didn't see anything between them...but in the past, the princess has never cared so much about a person of the opposite sex."

The servant knelt on the ground and answered in fear.

A trace of deep thought flashed in the eyes of the Great Peng Emperor, and then he shook his head and smiled: "You mean, my beloved concubine would like a young cultivator who has been practicing for less than 20 years? And even get close to him?"

At the beginning, he made things difficult for Mu Zhian, purely because he didn't want any opposite sex to get close to his beloved concubine.

But since Mu Zhian is the Taoist partner of the Green Emperor, it naturally doesn't matter much.

After all, he already had the fairy who was the best in the nine states as his Taoist partner. No matter how brave Mu Zhian was, he would not dare to pay attention to his wife.

Moreover, even if Mu Zhian had that idea, he had to think about whether the princess would agree.

In the past, when the relationship between the princess and the Great Peng Emperor was unknown, many people in Yunzhou had pursued the princess, including cultivators with good family backgrounds, but without exception, no one could get close to her.

This was normal. After all, the princess was the daughter of the Great Dao Emperor. She had her own pride and was not approached by just anyone.

To say that she would care about Mu Zhian... the Great Peng Emperor would never believe it.

The Emperor Dapeng waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can leave first."

After he said that, he stood up and ordered, "Let the people in the imperial kitchen prepare snacks. Please invite my beloved concubine and Mu Zhian to the imperial garden to enjoy them together later."

...

On a leisurely afternoon, the maids carried plates to the pavilion in the imperial garden.

In the guest room, Mu Zhian absorbed the spiritual energy and circulated it for three cycles. Then he heard a knock on the door outside the house.

"Come in." Mu Zhian said.

The door was opened, and the attendant bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Mu, His Majesty the Emperor Dapeng invites you to the garden to enjoy the afternoon food."

The Emperor Dapeng actually invited me?

Mu Zhian was a little surprised. After all, the Emperor Dapeng had a lot of friction with him some time ago...but now he was willing to lower himself and invite him?

However, when chatting with the princess in the house these two days, Mu Zhian knew what the Great Peng Emperor had done in Yunzhou in the past, and naturally knew that the invitation from the Great Peng Emperor this time was nothing more than for Yao Meng behind him.

After all, no one would be willing to conflict with a human emperor in the Yuhua realm.

At least on the surface, they were unwilling to tear their faces apart.

"I know, you can leave first." Mu Zhian nodded slightly.

After the servants left, Mu Zhian looked up at the courtyard scenery outside the window sill, and soon gathered his thoughts.

He stood up and went to the bronze mirror to straighten his robes a little, and then left the room.

Walking a little along a quiet road, he saw a garden vaguely appearing in front of him.

"Little friend Mu, why are you here too?"

As soon as he walked into the garden, he heard the woman's crisp, pleasant and gentle voice.

Mu Zhian looked over and saw the princess sitting under the pavilion.

She sat quietly, with her black hair casually draped over her beautiful and charming face, like a peony, plump and sexy.

Dapeng Emperor sat not far from the princess accompanied by his attendants. When he saw Mu Zhian, he smiled and said, "My dear friend Mu, you are really on time. I hope I didn't disturb you to rest?"

In his words, he was kind to the inferior.

Obviously, after so long, in the eyes of Dapeng Emperor, Mu Zhian is still the 'inferior'.

Fortunately, Mu Zhian didn't care. He looked flattered and said, "So you and the princess are enjoying the food today? If I had known this, I would not have come to disturb you."

The princess rolled up a strand of hair that fell on her forehead and smiled sweetly, "My dear friend Mu, don't worry. After all, you will be back to Yuzhou soon. I think this is the last afternoon tea that Yunzhou will treat you."

This smile seemed to have all kinds of charm and was quite tempting.

In addition, she was wearing a gorgeous long dress today, and her eyes and eyebrows revealed a gentle temperament like a mother of the world.

The invisible charm exuded made Mu Zhian's heart burn.

The moment her eyes met hers, the princess seemed to have noticed what Mu Zhian was thinking at the moment, licked her rosy lips gently, and glanced at Mu Zhian with seductive eyes.

Hiss... This woman is simply a goblin.

Mu Zhian immediately retracted his gaze, with a reserved look on his face.

Although he had realized exactly how attractive the princess was after letting go through in-depth communication with the princess over the past two days, he still didn't expect that she would be so bold as to flirt with others in front of the Emperor Dapeng.

But it was obvious that Mu Zhian, the actor, performed very well. At least the Emperor Dapeng didn't think too much about it, but ordered the servants to leave first and let Mu Zhian sit opposite him.

The princess happened to be sitting on the side of Mu Zhian, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and was sipping it with her head down.

At this time, the Emperor Dapeng put down his chopsticks and smiled: "A few days ago, my beloved concubine said that she was sending people to find Yunyanliu because the Qing Emperor needed this natural treasure... At that time, I was still thinking about who needed Yunyanliu, a special natural treasure."

"Now it seems that the Qing Emperor is looking for this Yunyanliu, which is actually prepared for Mu Xiaoyou?"

When he said this, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked at Mu Zhian, with some doubts in his eyes.

The princess couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She knew that the Great Peng Emperor would not invite Mu Zhian for no reason. Was he here for this matter?

Mu Zhian was a young cultivator who had just entered the Return to Void Realm. No one would suspect that Mu Zhian was the object of refining Yunyan Willow.

But she brought Mu Zhian to Yunzhou this time... This matter itself was worthy of suspicion.

Mu Zhian calmly put down the teacup and smiled gently: "In fact, the Yunyan Willow was not prepared for Mu. Yao Mengxun's Yunyan Willow actually has other uses."

"Oh?"

The Great Peng Emperor looked interested: "If I remember correctly, Yunyan Willow, a natural treasure, has no other use except for refining Jiuding Lianxu Pills, and the only person in the world who can get the help of the Green Emperor is probably Mu Xiaoyou."

"If it's not that Xiaoyou Mu wants to use Yunyan Willow, then what does the Green Emperor want to do with Yunyan Willow?"

Mu Zhian calmly said: "Senior Dapeng Emperor must have investigated my affairs in the past few days, right?"

The Great Peng Emperor's smile froze, and his expression became a little more embarrassed for a while.

He did secretly send people to investigate Mu Zhian's affairs in the past few days, and he probably knew some of the things that happened to Mu Zhian in Tianxuan City and Liangyi Sect in the past.

"My first Taoist partner was not actually the Green Emperor. Because of this, she has always felt guilty about my first Taoist partner... and now my first Taoist partner has reached the peak of Return to Void, and is in need of Yunyan Liu to refine the Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill, so..."

Mu Zhian looked helpless, and his words were seven-tenths true and three-tenths false, which also made Dapeng Emperor's face more thoughtful.

He knew who Mu Zhian was talking about. The first beauty in Tianxuan City at that time seemed to have a close relationship with the Palace Master of the Sword Palace.

If it was the Green Emperor who prepared Yunyan Liu for her past 'Green Emperor' out of guilt, then it would make sense.

Dapeng Emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "So that's it, so that's it."

If Mu Zhian was going to enter the Enlightenment Realm... this Yunyan Liu was really hard to give up.

After all, Yunyan Liu can only be preserved for seven days, and Mu Zhian has just entered the Return to Void.

In other words, Mu Zhian had to soar from the Return to Void Realm to the peak of the Return to Void Realm within seven days... before he could use the Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill.

This is a very scary thing...even Dapeng Emperor is a little afraid.

Mu Zhian has been practicing for less than 20 years. If he can enter the state of enlightenment...I am afraid he will be a difficult enemy in the future.

In order to ease the atmosphere just now, Dapeng Emperor quickly invited Mu Zhian to enjoy the food in the Yunzhou Palace.

The princess sitting next to her slowly peeled the big shrimps caught from the World Sea. Under her long skirt, her white and translucent feet stepped on a pair of small embroidered shoes. She glanced at Dapeng Emperor next to her.

Then, she casually took off one of the embroidered shoes, raised her eyes slightly, and looked at Mu Zhian tenderly.

"When do you plan to arrange for Mu to return to Yuzhou?" Dapeng Emperor suddenly asked.

The princess said gently: "Tomorrow."

"In that case, I will have someone prepare a griffin tomorrow to send Mu back to Yuzhou." Dapeng Emperor said.

"Not appropriate."

The princess shook her head gently: "Friend Mu is someone that the Medicine Emperor asked me to bring, so it would be safer for me to send him back myself."

The Great Peng Emperor frowned and said nothing.

The princess stepped lightly on the instep of Mu Zhian with her toes, looking calm and saying in a gentle and elegant voice: "He is a distinguished guest from Yuzhou, and he is also the Taoist partner of the Green Emperor. If he is allowed to return alone, if something happens on the way, I am afraid that Yunzhou will cause a lot of trouble again."

"If I send him back, it won't even take half a day, and I can take this opportunity to test when Luo Tan plans to start refining immortal medicine." The princess proposed something that made the Great Peng Emperor extremely excited.

Hearing this, the Emperor Dapeng showed a hint of surprise and joy on his face, and laughed loudly: "Okay, in that case, I'll trouble my beloved concubine to tear open the space crack tomorrow and personally send little friend Mu back to Yuzhou."

In the past, my beloved concubine never cared about him at all, but this time she was willing to go to Yuzhou for him to test Luo Tan's attitude...

Thinking of this, the Emperor Dapeng's mood couldn't help but improve, and then his eyes fell on Mu Zhian who was sitting on the ground, and said: "Little friend Mu, why do you look a little absent-minded, are you thinking about something?"

"Nothing, I just didn't expect that an ordinary little cultivator like Mu could be treated so well by you and Her Royal Highness the Princess. I was a little touched." Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled.

Dapeng Emperor heard this and raised the teacup in his hand, saying, "There were some misunderstandings between me and my friend Mu before. I know that my friend has some grudges in his heart. Today, I will use tea instead of wine. I hope that the misunderstanding between you and me can be resolved."

"Mu has never dared to have any grudges against Senior Dapeng Emperor. After all, you were thinking about Her Royal Highness the Princess at that time, so it was natural that you would misunderstand Mu."

Mu Zhian raised the teacup and touched it with Dapeng Emperor. He took the opportunity to pinch the Princess's feet and said softly, "But Mu has always believed that this misunderstanding will be resolved sooner or later, and now it can be regarded as fulfilling his wish."

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, I also toast you a cup." Mu Zhian gestured with the teacup.

The princess glanced at Mu Zhian with a charming look, retracted her feet, and showed a dignified and gentle smile on her face: "Okay~"

...

That night.

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid of being noticed today?"

After finishing his meditation, Mu Zhian saw the beauty who had sat beside him with one leg tilted, and couldn't help but speak worriedly.

"As both of us are in the Hedao realm, he can't detect my movements, and besides..."

The princess paused and said softly: "You are also enjoying it today, right?"

Mu Zhian was silent for a while.

I have to admit that although he has been worried about being noticed today, at the same time, he also has a different kind of excitement.

"It's a pity that you will go back to Yuzhou tomorrow... The things between you and me cannot be known to a third person, even Luo Tan."

The princess' eyes dimmed slightly, and she took Mu Zhian's arm and leaned her plump body in Mu Zhian's arms.

"If you miss me in the future, you can come to see me anytime. I will meet you at any time." Mu Zhian held the beauty's plump waist and said softly.

The princess stopped talking and sniffed the warm breath of the boy. At this time, she began to gradually understand why Luo Tan was so obsessed with this child.

The natural furnace was one reason, and the other reason was that when she was with Mu Zhian, she could break the boredom and boredom of being a great power in the long river of time.

As a great power in the Hedao realm, there are naturally many pursuers, but at this level, they can no longer judge whether the people pursuing them are sincere or have other purposes.

Moreover... a cultivator whose realm is far lower than theirs, even if it is sincere, what can it do?

Talent, strength, background, the princess does not look down on them.

After being promoted to Hedao, it is destined that there will be no Taoist partner anymore. This is almost an unchanging rule.

But at this time, the appearance of Mu Zhian broke this rule.

Although his realm is not high, his talent, and even his physique, are enough to make up for it all.

Moreover...his delicate and handsome appearance is most likely to attract the love and protection desire of the royal sisters.

When you have a natural liking for a person of the opposite sex, the sweet words said by the other party can easily nourish a woman's dry heart.

The princess raised her head slightly, staring at Mu Zhian's handsome face as gentle as jade, his high nose bridge, and his gentle eyes. She couldn't help but hug his neck tightly and whispered: "Before going back, accompany your sister well~"

At the end of her speech, her beautiful face was about to approach Mu Zhian, but at this time, the princess seemed to have noticed something, and her eyes fell on the Qinglian ring on Mu Zhian's hand with doubt.

The Qinglian ring looked ordinary, but at this time it was faintly flowing with a faint aura...If you don't pay attention, you might subconsciously ignore it.

"If I remember correctly, this Qinglian ring was given to you by the Qing Emperor, right?" The princess suddenly asked softly.

Mu Zhian nodded without thinking, "Yao Meng was worried that I would get hurt, so she gave me the Qinglian Ring."

"...Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

I see...No wonder she could let her Taoist partner stay in Yuzhou so confidently, and even let him come to Yunzhou.

The princess narrowed her beautiful eyes, and a hint of coldness appeared in her gentle eyes.

At first she was still confused, thinking that the Qing Emperor trusted her character so much, and believed that even if she knew about Mu Zhian's natural furnace, he would not do anything to him...

But now it seems that the Qing Emperor may have already secretly laid a back-up plan.

Maybe she is still eavesdropping, or even peeping at everything here.

As for why the Qing Emperor has not shown up until now, there is only one reason to explain it...

What she and Mu Zhian did has not reached the limit of the Qing Emperor's tolerance.

Maybe that black-bellied fairy is somewhere watching her joke...

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Zhian noticed that the princess looked a little strange, and couldn't help asking with concern: "Is there something wrong with your body?"

The princess hummed softly: "Something went wrong in my practice these two days, and my spiritual energy was seriously lost, so I'm probably a little tired."

When she said this, she put one hand on Mu Zhian's face and said softly: "The Great Peng Emperor has just returned to the palace to handle government affairs, and it is impossible for him to come to see me in a short time..."

Mu Zhian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a few points, as if he realized the meaning of her words, and stared at her with burning eyes.

The princess hugged Mu Zhian's arm, bit her red lips lightly, and raised her gentle and helpless weak eyes: "Can you help me?"

You like to peek, do you want me to be socially dead in the future?

Then I'll let you see enough.

…

The holy land of Yaochi.

The fairy in a green dress sat in the bedroom, looking at the woman in the bronze mirror who was hiding the intimacy between Dapeng Emperor and Mu Zhian, and her gentle eyes that she raised from time to time, and fell silent for a while.

There is no doubt that the princess came for her.

She thought that the princess might have some close actions with Mu Zhian, so she used the photo stone on purpose, intending to use it if the princess quarreled with her in the future.

But now…

Looking at the picture in the bronze mirror, Yao Meng's indifferent smile on her face was restrained a little, and at this moment, only one thought came to her mind:

"I seem to have gone too far..."

…
