So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

"Ye Yu is still lucky after all. His fiancée broke off the engagement, and a cousin came right after... Will there be another cousin or childhood sweetheart next time..."

Mu Zhian leaned on the stone chair, slightly raised his head and looked at the two monks fighting on the stage. Thinking back to what happened just now, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Thinking about it carefully, Ye Yu's luck is really quite good, and there are many beautiful girls around him.

It's just a pity that Ye Yu is too obsessed with his fiancée now, and he doesn't seem to realize the good of his cousin... The girl named Ye Qian is still very cute.

"What did you say to Ye Qian just now?" Bai Ruoxi turned her head slightly to look at Mu Zhian, and asked softly.

She saw the actions of the two people not far away just now. Although she didn't know what Mu Zhian said at that time, from Ye Qian's shy expression at that time, it was obvious that he said something nice.

Mu Zhian came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled: "Nothing, just helping others."

"So I gave her a Qi-training pill?" Bai Ruoxi asked.

Did she even see this... Mu Zhian explained: "It's not a gift, I just sold it to her at the original price."

Bai Ruoxi was not happy, frowned slightly, and said: "Selling it to her at the original price is no different from giving it to her."

In this world, alchemists are an extremely rare profession.

Usually, the medicinal materials are handed over to the alchemists and asked them to refine them. The OEM fee alone is enough to buy another batch of the same medicinal materials.

Even in the huge Tianxuan City, there are only a few people who have the identity of alchemists.

In fact, what Bai Ruoxi said is not wrong. Selling the pill to Ye Qian at the original price is basically no different from giving it to her.

"You and Ye Yu have such a bad relationship? What's the point of doing this?"

Bai Ruoxi looked at Mu Zhian's profile and whispered: "Or... do you like that girl?"

When she said this, she lowered her eyes slightly, her long and curled eyelashes caught the light, and her eyes looked a little dark.

Why does it feel like she will sacrifice the bronze sword at any time...Mu Zhian said: "Ruoxi, you probably haven't heard a word."

Bai Ruoxi's beautiful eyes regained some luster, and she raised her head slightly to look at him.

Under the girl's gaze, Mu Zhian continued: "Free things are the most expensive."

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly, still puzzled.

But Mu Zhian did not explain, just gently pinched the beauty's soft and boneless little hand, and smiled: "Won't you stay in the Mu Mansion in the future? You will know soon."

If it is worthless, it will be given away for free.

But this Qi training pill is not a worthless thing.

Some things that seem to be free have actually been secretly marked with their prices.

Seeing that Bai Ruoxi still had some doubts, Mu Zhian leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered, "You just need to know that it's enough for me to have you by my side now."

Bai Ruoxi's face was slightly red, and she felt the warm palm gently holding her slender hand, lowered her eyes, and said "hmm" softly.

Although she seems to be cold and aloof at ordinary times, she is actually a very shy beauty... Mu Zhian looked at Bai Ruoxi's beautiful profile and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

At this time, countless eyes suddenly looked over at once, staring at Mu Zhian in surprise.

Even though they all knew the relationship between me and Bai Ruoxi, they were still so surprised...It seems that the charm of the most beautiful woman in Tianxuan City still makes these people hard to let go.

Mu Zhian didn't care about the eyes of these people. He smiled at everyone, then retracted his gaze and raised his head to continue watching the battle in front of the high platform.

However, at this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly felt a chill on his back for no reason.

Then, an indescribable coldness surged in my heart.

They didn't seem to be looking at me and Ruoxi... Mu Zhian turned his head and looked in the direction of the crowd.

Only then did he realize that Lan Mulian, wearing a veil and with a cold expression, had sat behind him at some point. She raised her head slightly, and her cold eyes calmly looked at the two young juniors sparring in front of the high platform.

Lan Feiying, with a charming and sexy figure, sat in the corner with her plump legs crossed. She seemed to be looking at the high platform, but in fact her eyes were on Mu Zhian from beginning to end.

She didn't want the people in Tianxuan City to know about her relationship with her sister. First, she didn't want too many people with ulterior motives to approach her, and second... she didn't want others to compare her with her sister.

Of course, she just tried to avoid being known, but she didn't hide it too deliberately, otherwise she wouldn't have come out with Lan Mulian today.

Why is she here...?

Mu Zhian asked in surprise: "Sister, why are you here too?"

"The sect assessment is coming soon. I want to confirm the number of disciples participating in the sect assessment in advance, so I came to take a look early in the morning." Lan Murian said lightly.

As the examiner of the sect assessment, it is indeed a matter of course to confirm the disciples participating in the assessment in advance.

In the ten seconds after Lan Murian answered, Mu Zhian first nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then, as if he realized something, the smile on his face paused slightly.

He looked at Lan Murian's beautiful and refined face with a slightly dull look, hesitated for a moment, and spoke with difficulty:

"When did you come?"

Lan Murian pondered for a moment, with a smile in his eyes: "Earlier than you."

So this woman saw all my previous actions... No, where was she looking at the arena?

Mu Zhian still didn't give up and said, "Why didn't I see my senior sister in front of me?"

If he had just known that Lan Mulian was nearby, how could he be intimate with Bai Ruoxi in front of her... At least he would wait until he got back to do those little actions.

"There is a teahouse nearby, and the view from one of the teahouses is good." Lan Mulian said lightly.

Mu Zhian also knew that the teahouse was near Yangfeng Inn. He had been to that teahouse in the past and sat in the teahouse with a great view to watch the competition on the arena, which was very pleasant.

But he didn't expect that Lan Mulian even knew one of the "features" of Tianxuan City.

At this moment, the smile on Mu Zhian's face was a little bit unbearable.

However, Lan Murian didn't seem to care about what he had just done. She looked up at the beauty in a black dress on the stage and said, "She is the enchanting girl of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, Huang Manting?"

Mu Zhian barely stabilized his thoughts and looked up. At this moment, on the stage, a girl in a black dress who looked enchanting was fighting with a cultivator of the same generation. The black dress made her skin look particularly white.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "It's Huang Manting."

He and Huang Manting had met once, but the two were not familiar with each other.

Lan Murian looked at her again and nodded slightly: "Good talent."

Then, she suddenly changed her tone and said: "But in terms of talent, it seems that the white girl next to you is better."

Based on Bai Ruoxi's performance just now, it's no wonder that Lan Murian said so.

If it was normal, Mu Zhian would think that Lan Murian was sincerely praising Bai Ruoxi, but for some reason, when he heard this at this time, he always felt that Lan Murian had something else to say.

Bai Ruoxi slightly tilted her head to look at the examiner, smiling, and said reservedly: "I am very happy that you can say this, but it is all thanks to Master Mu that Ruoxi can have what he has today."

Lan Murian seemed to be interested, looked at Mu Zhian for a few times, and said: "It seems that although Master Mu's realm is not high, he is very helpful. He went to Liangyi Sect that night to find a medicinal material to save people, right?"

Mu Zhian smiled reservedly and said nothing.

For the first time in his life, he felt great psychological pressure.

At this time, Bai Ruoxi gently took Mu Zhian's arm, raised his face, looked at Lan Murian, and smiled lightly: "If you are interested, I will chat with you next time you come to Mu's house. I will stay in his house during this period."

The cold Senior Sister Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Bai Ruoxi with a smile and said: "Okay."

Mu Zhian bathed in the warm sunshine, but felt his scalp tingling and his back slightly cold.

He could fight with demon cultivators and even the Gongsun family, and even roughly guess what they were thinking... But he couldn't guess what these two were thinking now, and what their words meant.

Women's minds are much harder to guess than Gongsun Xiong and demon cultivators.

"Senior sister, it's getting late. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first. I'll contact you later." Mu Zhian decided to get up and say goodbye.

If staying here and being intimate with Bai Ruoxi just now was quite enjoyable, then now there is no enjoyment at all... For Mu Zhian, this is simply a torture.

Lan Murian didn't raise her eyelids, as if she didn't hear it, and just said "um" lightly.

Mu Zhian smiled politely, no longer hesitated, and got up and left the arena.

There was a carriage parked outside that had been waiting for a long time. Mu Zhian lifted the curtain and walked into the carriage. Bai Ruoxi bent slightly and followed into the carriage.

Neither of them spoke.

It was not until the carriage began to move slowly that Bai Ruoxi said quietly, "That senior sister seems to care about you."

The tone seemed to carry some emotions different from usual.

Mu Zhian reached out to grab Bai Ruoxi's hand, but the girl immediately retracted her hand and didn't let him touch it.

In the carriage, Mu Zhian didn't have so many scruples. Seeing that Bai Ruoxi didn't let him touch her hand, he simply reached out and passed her waist, gently placed it on her fragrant shoulder, and then gently embraced her to his side.

Bai Ruoxi's shoulder then pressed against Mu Zhian's shoulder. In the dim light, a beautiful face was full of displeasure.

"What is your relationship with the senior sister?" Bai Ruoxi raised her eyes when she said this, and her peach blossom eyes looked a little dark.

This sounded more like: Are you and that woman having an underground relationship?

Mu Zhian said helplessly: "I seem to have told you before that the medicine for refining the treatment of your father's injury lacked the medicinal material of the Beast King Vine, and that medicinal material was finally given by Senior Sister."

Even the Beast King Vine was directly given, it turns out that their relationship is really good... Bai Ruoxi closed her eyes, and returned to her usual weak and lovely appearance, and said softly:

"Senior Sister is so good to you, I wish I could help you in the future."

Mu Zhian gently hugged Bai Ruoxi's waist, leaned close to her ear and whispered softly: "You can be with me now, which is a great help."

Feeling the warm breath of the young man wrapped around herself, listening to the gentle voice in her ear, the cold beauty outside just now seemed to no longer exist, her heart softened, and she nestled in Mu Zhian's warm chest.

The originally unhappy mood just now was gradually relieved with this warmth.

Mu Zhian felt Bai Ruoxi's soft body through a layer of clothes, and the intoxicating fragrance on her body, but he was a little absent-minded. He turned his head to look at the street scene outside the carriage that was gradually moving backwards, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

Both Lan Murian and Bai Ruoxi were very smart beauties. He began to worry whether his dual-threaded operation would eventually kill himself.

...

Ye Mansion.

After Ye Qian returned to the Ye family with the exquisite little box, he trotted all the way to his room, but in his mind he recalled the charming and gentle smile of the boy just now.

The elders in the clan always said that the eldest young master of the Mu family was a playboy who did many evil things, but today he didn't look like a bad guy... It's better to say that he is a very gentle brother.

The cold attitude of Ye Yu towards his cousin when he just walked down the arena and Mu Zhian's gentle smile, the two were suddenly a little obvious.

I'll take the spirit stone back to him tomorrow morning... When Ye Qian thought of this, she stepped on the floor with her deerskin boots and walked towards the room. At this moment, Ye Yu, who had just gone to the hall to meet the elders, came towards her.

"Cousin." Ye Qian called out crisply.

Ye Yu's face was much calmer than before, as if he had calmed down on the way back. He said, "Qian'er, please send the medicinal materials for the Qi-training pill to the door of my room later."

He wanted to apologize for his cold attitude in front of the arena just now, but he held back for the sake of face.

Anyway, refining a Qi-training pill for his cousin is also an indirect apology.

However, Ye Qian's little face was slightly hesitant, and she politely refused, "It's no longer needed. Thank you for your kindness, cousin."

After that, she passed by Ye Yu holding the small box and left slowly.

Her back is extremely beautiful, with long hair scattered around her waist, like a flower about to bloom. Her small front-opening dress sets off her curves, and the whiteness of her calves can be vaguely seen under her skirt, which looks translucent in the sun.

Ye Yu frowned slightly, but did not say anything else.

Ye Qian is at the age of a young girl, and she probably doesn't know how many spirit stones it will cost to find an alchemist to refine a Qi-training pill. When she goes to the auction house to find out tomorrow, she will probably regret it.

When Ye Yu turned around and returned to his room, at the same time, Ye Qian on the other side had just arrived at the door of her room, but she happened to see another girl from the same clan.

She was wearing a lavender front-opening dress, with a light purple thin ribbon tied around her waist, outlining the girl's graceful curves about to bloom, with a beautiful face and a faint smile, and an elegant and charming temperament.

"Lingxuan, what a coincidence?" Ye Qian looked up at the purple-clothed girl and smiled.

Ye Lingxuan, on the surface, she is the second genius of the Ye family, but Ye Qian and Ye Lingxuan have been friends since childhood, and she knows very well that her good friend is actually the real first genius.

However, Ye Lingxuan is usually low-key and does not like to compete with others, so most of the disciples in the clan only remember her appearance, but ignore her enchanting talent.

Ye Lingxuan smiled and nodded, then glanced at the small box in Ye Qian's hand, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said: "Has brother Ye Yu already refined the Qi-training pill for you?"

Facing a friend who has been playing together since childhood, Ye Qian hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell the truth, saying: "This is not made by my cousin... It was just sold to me at the original price by the eldest young master of the Mu Mansion."

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly and said: "The eldest young master of the Mu family... Mu Zhian?"

That Mu Zhian is not a good person... Why is he so kind?

"Did you give him the spirit stone?" Ye Lingxuan asked softly with a crisp voice.

Ye Qian shook her head gently and said, "I'm going to take the spirit stones to the Mu Mansion tomorrow."

"Mu Zhian is not a good person." Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly and said softly, "I'll go to the Mu Mansion for you tomorrow."

Ye Qian was too naive. She was worried that something would happen if she went to the Mu Mansion tomorrow.

Who knows, Mu Zhian might show his true colors and use the power of the Mu family to bully Ye Qian.

It would be safer for her to go.

Others might be afraid of the Mu family, but... she was not.
