So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

"Huang Manting wins!"

After hearing the clear voice from the stage, Lan Murian stood up and left quietly.

If it weren't for Bai Ruoxi's move just now, judging from the few competitions today, the strength of the demon girl of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce would still be quite amazing.

But there is already a pearl in front, no matter how well this beauty in a black dress performs, it looks much worse from the visual effect alone.

After all, it takes a while to defeat the opponent, and it is completely different from defeating the opponent with one sword.

Huang Manting walked down the competition stage, and her eyes immediately fell on the stone chair where Lan Murian had just sat.

The examiner had left.

It's no wonder that anyone who has just seen Bai Ruoxi's move will probably not be very interested in the competition with others later.

"Miss Huang, with your current strength, I'm afraid you are ranked in the top three in Tianxuan City!" A young man next to her came up and said with a smile.

"The top three? Apart from the eldest daughter of the Bai family, Miss Huang's strength should be the best of the younger generation."

Originally, according to the ranking in the minds of the cultivators, the strongest of the younger generation should be Huang Manting of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, followed by Gongsun Cheng of the Gongsun family, and then Bai Ruoxi.

However, Bai Ruoxi's move this time completely overturned everyone's thoughts.

The power of that sword, I'm afraid only a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm can take it head-on.

Huang Manting glanced charmingly at the young men who were catering to her, and said in a lazy voice: "We haven't fought yet, and it's hard to say now."

The bronze sword that Bai Ruoxi sacrificed at that time was indeed amazing, but as long as he could avoid it, he would have the strength to fight.

Gongsun Cheng was just arrogant, and he was so angry at Mu Zhian that he was dizzy at that time.

If it were her, she would not be so careless and take the bronze sword head-on.

However, it is quite surprising that Mu Zhian would be with Bai Ruoxi.

Bai Ruoxi had always ignored Mu Zhian before, and it was not the first time that Mu Zhian had been so eager to get close to him.

In the end, he really succeeded in wooing her.

And judging from Bai Ruoxi's reaction at that time, she looked like she was completely in love.

"Mu Zhian..."

Huang Manting's eyes flickered slightly, and she became more curious.

How did a cultivator of the third rank of Qi training succeed in wooing Bai Ruoxi?

Just with a face?

There are many handsome young people who pursue the most beautiful woman, so it should not be this reason.

After casually fooling the group of suitors around her, Huang Manting glanced at her subordinates and said lightly: "Go and check when Mu Zhian had contact with Bai Ruoxi recently."

Knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle... No matter whether it is Bai Ruoxi or Mu Zhian, she will definitely get the quota for the inner disciple.

...

Mu Mansion.

After returning to the Mu Mansion with Bai Ruoxi, Mu Zhian first sent someone to send a letter to the Bai family, saying that Bai Ruoxi would stay in the Mu Mansion for a few days, and then asked someone to invite Bai Ruoxi to the side hall for tea.

Then, he found an excuse to leave the side hall and walked towards the study.

There was actually nothing wrong with Mu Zhian's operation outside today.

However, if Lan Mulian had seen everything in the teahouse at that time... the problem with this operation would be huge.

It's not that Mu Zhian didn't expect to be seen outside, but according to the original speculation, Lan Mulian was the kind of homegirl who stayed indoors, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't have left the inn so early.

What's more, if it weren't for the senior people in Tianxuan City, the teahouse with an excellent view would not have known about it. How did Lan Mulian know the location of the teahouse?

Ever since Lan Mulian entered the city, Mu Zhian felt that something was wrong.

Lan Murian first stayed at the Dragon and Phoenix Inn, which had an excellent environment. Then, she went to a nearby teahouse and found the tea room with a great view.

Could it be that she was also from Tianxuan City?

Or did she have friends in Tianxuan City?

Mu Zhian came to the study room unknowingly while thinking all the way.

He pushed open the door and saw two paper cranes resting on the table.

Mu Zhian opened the paper crane and saw only one sentence on the letter: Mr. Mu, Liangyi Sect is different from other places. If you stay in the Qi training realm for too long, it may be difficult to become an inner disciple. You should work harder for yourself so that you can have a better future.

These words carry some concern from the elders to the younger generation... It should be the paper crane sent yesterday.

After all, judging from Lan Murian's attitude today, it is impossible for her to send a paper crane.

Mu Zhian thought of this, spread out the letter, and replied: Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. I will work hard to practice and catch up with Senior Sister as soon as possible. By the way, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake at Chaohai Inn in Tianxuan City tastes good. If you are free these days, I will bring you some sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

After throwing the paper crane out of the window, Mu Zhian spread out another letter.

"The fragrance of the snow lotus is good, I like it very much, but it withered not long after it was sent."

Mu Zhian was slightly startled, and there was a little more doubt in his eyes.

I remember that when the snow lotus was sent to my senior sister, it was still alive and well. At that time, I saw the snow lotus in a vase... Thinking about it, Mu Zhian still waved the brush and wrote a small essay full of emotions on the letter paper.

He could see that Lan Mulian was not as cold as he imagined. On the contrary, she was a little bit sultry.

According to his original impression of Lan Murian, she should be the kind of person who would not directly praise Xuelian even if she received it, but she directly expressed her love in this letter.

This means that he can further express his "feelings" for her.

After writing two letters, Mu Zhian looked up at the two paper cranes flying in the air, and withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

Leaving the study and walking into the side hall.

However, Mu Zhian did not notice that when the two paper cranes flew into the air, one of them flew towards the Yangfeng Inn in Tianxuan City with fairy air, while the other quietly flew out of the city gate...

...

Bai Mansion, in the hall.

"Madam, Master, a letter from the Mu Mansion."

A servant handed over a letter with both hands, and after Bai's father took the letter, he quietly withdrew.

Bai's father opened the letter and glanced at the contents of the letter.

He couldn't help but frowned and said, "Nonsense, a grown-up girl doesn't stay in her own boudoir, but goes to live in someone else's house, and plans to stay there until the sect assessment officially begins?"

The beautiful woman put down the teacup gently and said faintly, "This is probably what Mu Zhian meant... Ruoxi has been obedient and smart since childhood, and is not the kind of person who would make decisions on his own."

Father Bai was furious, as if his cabbage was being pushed by a pig. His face was ashen, and he punched the table.

Sawdust flew everywhere, and the table legs collapsed immediately.

The servants outside were startled and looked over subconsciously.

The beautiful woman sat upright, as if she was used to it, waved her hand, and said, "You can leave, there is nothing going on here, don't worry about it."

After the servants left, Bai Yuanfeng looked at the angry father Bai, sighed, and said, "Master, aren't you surprised how the eldest young master of the Mu family discovered the evil spirit on me at that time?"

The crude warrior had no brains at all, and when he was asked this question, his brain crashed directly.

"Deep in the Bai family, the barrier can shield the demonic energy. Even if I leave and go outside, it is difficult for anyone other than a land immortal to detect the demonic energy in me from the mixed spiritual energy."

Bai Yuanfeng crossed her legs and said faintly: "But there are exceptions to everything."

"The Heavenly Qi on the boy from the Ye family can purify the spiritual energy around and directly absorb it into the body."

"After the mixed spiritual energy disappears... the demonic energy will naturally appear."

Father Bai gradually calmed down. After pondering for a long time, he said: "Madam, do you mean that the Heavenly Qi is on Mu Zhian?"

He quickly shook his head: "Impossible, Gongsun Xiong and others secretly tested Mu Zhian at that time. If he had the Heavenly Qi on him, he would have been discovered long ago."

It takes some time to refine the Heavenly Qi. At that time, time was tight in the Dragon Head Forest, and Mu Zhian had no time to refine the Heavenly Qi at all.

Bai Yuanfeng suddenly asked, "What if the Heavenly Qi is not in the Mu family kid's body?"

"Could it be that the enemy who took away the Heavenly Qi is hiding in the Bai family, deliberately wanting to expose the lady?" Bai's father frowned, "But hiding in the Bai family without being noticed... is there really such a person?"

Bai Yuanfeng glanced at Bai's father lazily, and seemed a little tired of explaining, and sighed, "Does our daughter need to hide deliberately when she lives in the mansion?"

"Of course, my daughter doesn't need to--"

Bai's father was suddenly stunned, and finally reacted. He turned his head subconsciously and said, "You mean, Mu Zhian gave the Heavenly Qi to Ruoxi?"

"Only this possibility can explain why my demonic energy was exposed in the Bai Mansion at that time." Bai Yuanfeng said.

Father Bai's face was obviously a little strange, and he said, "What does Mu Zhian want to do? Can he even give away something like this?"

Then, his originally sullen face suddenly eased a lot, and he said, "If that's the case, if you hand Ruoxi over to Mu Zhian, you can be assured."

Even the Qi of Heaven can be given to Bai Ruoxi, which is enough to show how much Mu Zhian likes her.

It's a pity that Mu Zhian's realm is too low after all. If he and Bai Ruoxi are both at the ninth level of Qi training, they would be a perfect match made in heaven.

Father Bai couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

"By the way, the Bai family should not be able to swallow up part of the Gongsun family's industry." Bai Yuanfeng suddenly said.

Father Bai was startled and said, "Didn't you say that Tongmai Pills have been given to Gongsun Xiong?"

"Gongsun Xiong will be severely injured, but the task of annexing part of Gongsun's industry will be handed over to Mu's family... and we want to help."

Before Father Bai could speak, Bai Yuanfeng continued, "Mu Zhian's kindness to the Bai family cannot be mixed up with Ruoxi."

The Bai family is the Bai family, and Bai Ruoxi is Bai Ruoxi.

If Bai Ruoxi is tied to the Bai family, it is certainly possible, and Mu Zhian should not say anything, but this will eventually deteriorate the relationship between his daughter and Mu Zhian.

Therefore, let Tongmai Pills be "given" to the Mu family in this way.

Just as Mu Zhian said to Bai Ruoxi at the beginning.

The Bai family gives benefits that can make the Mu family excited, and the Mu family can save the Bai family.

The benefits obtained from the Gongsun family are the benefits that can make Mu Zhian, or in other words, the benefits that can make the Mu family excited.

Now, the Bai family has fulfilled its promise.

It’s just… not only the huge profits brought by Tongmai Pills, but also Bai Ruoxi’s heart was abducted by someone.
