So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

"It's really strange. No one is approaching this bedroom tonight?"

Ye Qingxin silently covered this quiet little courtyard with her spiritual consciousness, and almost instantly caught Mu Zhian's breath.

But for some reason, there was not a single person in this bedroom... It was really a bit strange.

Although he was puzzled, the ancestor of the Ye family did not stop there. He stepped into the little courtyard in his exquisite embroidered shoes and was about to go through the front hall to the depths.

At this time, a woman suddenly appeared quietly in the shadow in front, blocking Ye Qingxin's way.

The woman's expression was indifferent, and her pair of crystal clear beautiful eyes were particularly quiet in the darkness, staring at Ye Qingxin quietly.

"Tonight, the lady has ordered that no one is allowed to approach him."

Ye Qingxin paused slightly, the fire on her body was dazzling and charming in the darkness, and a little cinnabar was dotted between her eyebrows, making the woman's face more like a witch.

After taking a look at the woman in front of him, Ye Qingxin raised a playful smile and said, "Reincarnation Queen? Did Lingxuan ask you to stay here to protect his safety? But isn't it a bit unreasonable that I can't even step in?"

The Reincarnation Queen said lightly: "Neither the Green Emperor nor the Sword Palace Master disturbed him tonight. It would be inappropriate for Fellow Daoist Ye to go in. Moreover, he has consumed a lot of energy today and needs to rest."

The Green Emperor's personality can actually let Mu Zhian rest alone...

Even Ye Qingxin was a little surprised. She pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you accompany me in? I just want to confirm whether he is resting peacefully."

After the enlightenment calamity, Mu Zhian's spirit and spiritual energy will indeed be greatly consumed. Now calm down and think about it, it's better to let him rest for a while... But it will be more reassuring to see him in one go.

The Reincarnation Queen shook her head lightly and said lightly: "The lady asked me to guard outside the palace, so it is inconvenient for me to set foot inside."

Even Ye Qingxin was speechless when she heard this.

No wonder that girl was so confident in letting the Reincarnation Queen guard outside the bedroom. Among the women around Mu Zhian, the Reincarnation Queen was probably the only one who did not have the idea of ​​stealing the "cake".

After all, this woman always puts her master first, and only then will she consider other things.

The Reincarnation Queen will complete everything Ye Lingxuan arranges in an orderly manner.

"Should I say it's really worthy of being a taboo item in the restricted area? It's really reassuring to do things." Ye Qingxin sighed lightly.

The taboo item of Dongzhou'No. 2, the Heart of Nirvana, is now on the Reincarnation Queen.

Or in other words, it's in her body.

No one in this world can kill her. Even after death, the Reincarnation Queen can be reborn in a short time. Every time she dies, the owner of this forbidden object will become stronger, with a maximum of nine times.

However, there is a requirement for this forbidden object, that is, the holder must not deliberately die.

Now, the Heart of Nirvana is of no use to the Reincarnation Queen. After all, it is very difficult for her to die in the Hedao Realm.

In a sense, the existence of the Reincarnation Queen itself is both the former owner of the forbidden area and the forbidden object of the forbidden area.

At this time, the Reincarnation Queen thought for a moment and continued: "It's not appropriate for you to meet him tonight. After all, people will gossip and even make people mistakenly think that you have a close relationship with Mu Zhian."

Ye Qingxin looked at the woman with some surprise, and then chuckled: "It seems that you are not so rigid, and you are quite thoughtful."

The news that Mu Zhian just realized the truth tonight was spreading in the restricted area. Although he is in the bedroom now, I don't know how many eyes are watching him.

Ye Qingxin represents the Ye family after all. Although she also wants to cheat tonight... But if she does so, I'm afraid Qian'er and Lingxuan will know it at the first time.

By then, I'm afraid I won't be able to face the two of them.

The Reincarnation Queen said calmly: "It's not that I don't understand the ways of the world, I just don't want to think so much."

She is indeed qualified to do so. After all, with the strength of the Reincarnation Queen, she doesn't need to consider the ways of the world at all.

Ye Qingxin smiled: "Since you have said this, I will come to visit you another day."

The reincarnated queen nodded slightly, watching Ye Qingxin turn into a flame and quietly disappear from sight, and was about to hide in the darkness again.

However, at this moment, she suddenly saw a woman walking by the small lake in the hazy night.

On both sides of the lakeside are planted evergreen pines and cypresses, and the flowers in the flower fields are blooming, quite gorgeous.

Princess Yongning, wearing a gorgeous dress, came through the front hall. It seems that she was dressed up specially. Her bun is very simple and beautiful, and she is wearing a valuable golden hairpin. In the night, the golden tassels sway gently, as if even the flowers in the flower fields are eclipsed.

This was obviously a remarkable woman. Under normal circumstances, ordinary cultivators would feel a little stressed when seeing a powerful being in the Hedao realm, but this eldest princess did not show any panic. She just bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Greetings, senior."

The reincarnated queen glanced at her and said, "You are Princess Yongning of the Dagan Dynasty, right? What are you doing here?"

The princess replied politely and reservedly: "Thanks to Mr. Mu's help these days, I have always wanted to thank him in person, but he was still undergoing the tribulation at that time, so it was not convenient to disturb him... I will leave for the palace tomorrow, so I want to say goodbye to Mr. Mu."

The reincarnated queen pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "You can go in, but don't disturb him for too long. He is too tired from the tribulation today, so he may still be meditating now."

"If Mr. Mu is meditating, I won't disturb him, please rest assured."

Princess Yongning lifted her skirt and bowed, and then walked into the depths of the back hall leisurely.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, she came to a small garden in the back hall.

Not far ahead was a small house, with candlelight in the paper window, and a young man sitting in front of the window could be vaguely seen.

Didn't he say he was meditating and resting...?

A trace of strangeness flashed in the beautiful eyes of the eldest princess, and she approached slowly.

At this moment, the gentle and calm voice of the young man came from the room: "Princess Yongning, why are you here?"

Princess Yongning's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect that she was still a distance away from him, but she was noticed so quickly.

Princess Yongning slightly restrained her thoughts and said: "I plan to leave for the palace tomorrow, so I am presumptuous to come to disturb Master Mu tonight to say goodbye to you."

Calculating the time, it seems that the day for Princess Yongning to go back is almost here.

Mu Zhian inadvertently glanced at the woman hiding under the table, and then said: "Princess Yongning, tell me before you leave tomorrow, I will let someone send you a ride."

Princess Yongning shook her head gently and said softly: "Master Mu has just survived the catastrophe today, and he is mentally exhausted. If I bother you again, I will feel a little sorry."

"Then Princess Yongning plans to return to the court like this? Have you forgotten the purpose of your trip?" Mu Zhian asked with a smile, gently stroking the beautiful face of the will of heaven, which is as beautiful as flawless white jade.

The woman raised her emotionless cold eyes and looked straight at Mu Zhian. Although she still had an indifferent look, her flawless face was stained with a faint blush, which gave a huge sense of contrast.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that the will of the Heavenly Dao of Jiuzhou would hide under a table and please a certain cultivator at this moment.

Oh no, it's not to please, it's just to maintain the rules and order of Jiuzhou...

At this time, Mu Zhian continued: "The old emperor of the Dagan Dynasty cherishes his life the most. After Gu Boxing died, he has been depressed. It seems that he has a lot of white hair overnight?"

Princess Yongning was a little surprised: "Master Mu even knows this?"

Mu Zhian smiled and took out a colorful flower from the ring, opened the window, and saw the eldest daughter of the emperor outside the window.

The dignified and elegant oval face, the carefully painted eyebrows and eyes are quite moving, the pair of light golden eyes are elegant and a little indifferent, with a touch of blush at the corners of the eyes.

The cherry lips are rosy and elastic.

"Just treat it as a farewell gift. I hope the princess will like it." Mu Zhian handed the flower to her from the window sill.

"Flower of immortality?" Princess Yongning was surprised, staring at the brightly colored flower handed by Mu Zhian.

The flower of immortality is a sixth-grade natural treasure, but its living conditions are very special. It only grows in the restricted area. Even the clansmen in the restricted area may not be able to take out one.

With it, the mission of this trip is not a complete success, but at least it is satisfactory.

After all, no one thought that Princess Yongning could really find the "elixir of immortality" in the restricted area, and whether she could come back smoothly was still a question.

However, this time Princess Yongning not only returned to the Dagan Dynasty, but also received hospitality in the restricted area and took away a "elixir of immortality"... If this series of things were spread, the eldest princess of the emperor might be able to win the hearts of many people in the court in the future.

"Master Mu, I can't accept this."

Princess Yongning quickly reacted and handed the flower back to Mu Zhian: "I already owe Master Mu a favor this time. If it weren't for Master Mu, I'm afraid it would be a problem whether I could leave the restricted area this time."

"So this thing..."

Before she finished her words, Mu Zhian smiled and said: "Princess Yongning, have you forgotten that you took me in when I had nowhere to camp in the restricted area that day? This is just to repay the favor of Your Highness the Princess that day, there is no need to refuse."

Yongning stared at the boy silently. She and Mu Zhian had only met a few times. At most, she did something to win him over when she was in Liangyi Sect, but that was all.

As for taking in Mu Zhian when they camped that day... In fact, with Mu Zhian's strength, he could do the same even if he camped in another place, and he didn't need them at all.

Just such a small favor, but in exchange for a greater return from the other party

After a short silence, Princess Yongning smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Mu~"

This immortal flower is exactly what she needs.

"Master Mu just finished his tribulation tonight. Don't you plan to rest so late?" The eldest princess suddenly asked, secretly looking at the boy with curiosity.

For some reason, she always felt that Mu Zhian's expression tonight seemed a little different from usual... He looked a little absent-minded, and even his spirit was obviously much weaker than usual.

"I was planning to meditate, but I sensed your breath, so I just waited for you for a while." Mu Zhian showed a warm smile.

"Sorry, I originally thought I would just come over to see Mr. Mu. If I found Mr. Mu meditating, I would leave immediately." Yong Ning said with a somewhat apologetic tone.

She obviously felt sincerely sorry, thinking that her arrival had affected Mu Zhian's meditation time, so she looked at the young man with a hint of apology.

This scene naturally fell in Mu Zhian's eyes.

His face was expressionless, but he felt very interesting in his heart.

In my impression, the eldest daughter of the emperor was a model of dignified and elegant behavior, and she was even more mature in her behavior. I didn't expect that she would have a guilty side towards others.

"It's just meditating later, it's not a big deal."

Mu Zhian changed the topic and said with a smile: "Besides, talking to the eldest princess tonight, Mu is actually very happy. Do you think my mental state is much better now?"

Princess Yongning was startled. She noticed the young man's gentle eyes, coupled with the charm that was unknowingly exuding from his body. The eldest daughter of the emperor felt her heart beating very fast and her face became hot.

She secretly peeped at this young man and felt that he was like a noble and elegant young man, with an inexplicable charm that attracted her.

Suddenly, she noticed that the young man's body was slightly tense, and his condition seemed a little wrong. His eyes looked strangely under the table, and his expression seemed a little erratic.

This scene made Princess Yongning stunned for a moment, and then soon, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, with a light of wisdom flashing in her eyes.

This will of Heaven is a bit ignorant...

Mu Zhian obviously realized that he had just lost his composure. He kept a calm expression on his face and said with a smile: "Elder Princess, Mu has just finished his tribulation tonight and is going to meditate later, so..."

His words had made it very obvious.

However, Princess Yongning did not leave immediately. Instead, she took half a step forward, just in front of the window sill. Then she lifted up her skirt and raised her head. Her red lips seemed to be about to touch Mu Zhian's lips at any time. A soft and sweet breath came close to her. Close at hand.

"Mr. Mu, I won't tell anyone else."

Princess Yongning brought her red lips closer to her with a smile and said softly: "Just think of it as a little secret between you and me~"

…

Princess Yongning left, but her last words could almost prove that she had indeed discovered something.

"It seems that Princess Yongning is not as 'reserved' as she appears... At least her actions tonight are worth pondering."

Mu Zhian whispered to himself, still thinking about the words of the eldest daughter of the emperor just now. Princess Yongning, who was usually dignified and elegant in her manners and movements, the previous actions... let alone Mu Zhian, even a novice in love was shocked. You can feel how ambiguous it is.

"Forget it, let's wait until we go to Daqian Dynasty to ask her face to face about this matter."

Mu Zhian quickly shook his head and dismissed the thoughts in his mind.

There are more important things to deal with now than the matter of Princess Yongning.

"Did you do it on purpose just now?" Mu Zhian looked at the goddess who was crawling out from under the table.

"It's not intentional, I just thought the master was very excited at the time, so he tried hard to please you."

The tone of Heavenly Will was extremely calm, and he stared at Mu Zhian silently: "I can detect that your previous mental state was indeed very exciting."

Mu Zhian corrected him: "That's just because I'm worried about being noticed."

"But the master gets excited when he thinks that he might be noticed, right?"

Hearing the words of Heavenly Will, Mu Zhian was about to deny it, but found that she was looking at him silently, and then her eyes passed from his face to his chest, and gradually moved downwards...

"It seems that the conclusion from my investigation is correct. Although the master has experienced four heavenly tribulations, he is still very energetic now." Tiandao Will said calmly.

Mu Zhian coughed slightly and changed the subject: "By the way, I heard Sister Lingxuan say that although I have enlightened, I have not understood the three ways of heaven, earth, man, nor the great road... Do you know of any way to do this? Let me officially enter the realm of enlightenment?"

Mu Zhian's current state is very strange. He is between returning to the void and enlightening the Tao. Although he has reached the state of enlightenment, he has not comprehended any Tao charm.

As the "encyclopedia" of Kyushu, the will of heaven may be able to find the answer in her.

"The master has no respect for the three realms of heaven, earth, man, or even the great road, so it is difficult for him to understand the charm of the Tao."

The Will of Heaven said calmly: "Whenever the master is in awe of it and understands it carefully, he will naturally be able to achieve enlightenment."

"Is there no other way?" Mu Zhian asked with a frown.

"Yes." Tiandao Will nodded slightly, "For example, you can also respect yourself as the Tao and create your own Taoist rhyme."

"Creating Tao Yun? Doesn't this violate the rules of heaven and earth?" Mu Zhian was startled.

"The rules of heaven and earth do not stipulate that you cannot create your own Tao Yun, at least the three realms of heaven, earth and humans do not have this rule." The will of heaven answered.

"Master, you are an out-and-out scumbag, and you are always on the edge of the dark room with your feet, so you can consider creating a scumbag's way related to this (laughing)."

A mocking smile appeared on the woman's face.

Mu Zhian showed a thoughtful look, then thought that something was wrong, and stared at the will of heaven with suspicion: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen you so emotional... Could it be that you saw me talking to Princess Yongning just now? Jealous?"

"If you analyze it from a woman's perspective, I was just jealous." Tiandao Yizhi said lightly.

"Although you and I are not Taoist partners, I don't want you to flirt with other women. It will make me feel unbalanced and even doubt my own charm."

"So what you did just now while I was chatting with Princess Yongning was also revenge on me...?"

"Yes." Tiandao Yizhi nodded.

Mu Zhian raised his eyebrows slightly: "Have you ever thought about what would happen if Yongning found out that you were the one in the house before and spread the news?"

Tian Dao Yizhi knelt beside Mu Zhian and bowed his head and said: "I'm sorry, please punish me, Master."

She is really good at it...

Mu Zhian took her hand and stood up, then reached out and put his arm around the woman's waist and sat down on the soft couch, looking at her and said: "Next time you do this, you can't let it go like this."

"Yes, Master."

Tian Dao Yizhi, who had no emotions, leaned his forehead on the boy's thigh like a kitten, but a very humane smile appeared on his cold face.

Of course, she knew that there was a danger of being noticed by Princess Yongning if she did that before, but so what?

Everything was a sacrifice that had to be made to maintain the order of the rules of heaven and earth.

After all, the master's natural furnace aura would be continuously restored, so she needed to keep purifying the aura on the master's body.

Of course, after this, maybe the Green Emperor, the Sword Palace Master, and even the Forbidden Zone Princess will covet the master... But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, no one knows that the Heavenly Will has not left after the calamity, but has always stayed by Mu Zhian's side.

She can follow the master anytime and anywhere, and then... purify his spiritual energy.

Just like tonight.

Mu Zhian suddenly remembered something and said, "Don't rush to purify the spiritual energy. Can I ask you for help?"

The Heavenly Will reluctantly raised his head and looked at Mu Zhian, puzzled: "As long as it does not violate the rules of heaven and earth, I will satisfy any of your wishes."

Mu Zhian said softly: "I want you to help me retrieve a piece of information."

The Heavenly Will: "That's no problem. What information does the master want?"

Mu Zhian reached out and stroked the beautiful face of the Heavenly Will, wiped the corner of her mouth, and smiled:

"The master of the Forbidden Land of Life, Mu Zhi."
