So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

After ordering the servants to tidy up the room for Bai Ruoxi, Mu Zhian personally led Bai Ruoxi to the direction of the guest room.

Bai Ruoxi followed him in her cloud-embroidered short boots and fluttering white skirt.

She raised her eyes slightly, looked at the young man leading the way in front, and said softly: "I have lived in the Mu family before, so there is no need to trouble you to bring me here, you can go and do your business."

Mu Zhian immediately shook his head and said firmly: "No, since I am a guest in the Mu family, if I don't treat them well, my parents will scold me for not treating guests well if they know."

Bai Ruoxi looked at Mu Zhian with some entanglement.

She always felt that Mu Zhian had some ill intentions, but she couldn't bear to ask him to leave directly, for fear of hurting his heart.

In the end, she had to hold back what she wanted to say in her heart and followed him silently.

Soon, Mu Zhian led Bai Ruoxi to a quiet room in the backyard, opened the door, turned around and smiled: "This is your room from now on. You can use the energy of heaven to purify your spiritual energy here without worrying about being discovered."

Bai Ruoxi nodded reservedly, entered the house, poured a cup of tea for Mu Zhian, and suddenly worried: "I don't know what's going on with my mother."

Sure enough, she still feels insecure in someone else's home...Mu Zhian comforted softly: "Don't worry, I have written a letter to your father. If you don't agree, they would have sent someone to pick you up, right?"

Bai Ruoxi's frown relaxed a lot after hearing this, and she said "um" softly.

Then, she thought of what happened today and suddenly asked: "What should I do with Gongsun Cheng?"

Now is the time when the Bai family is rising again, and Bai Ruoxi is still a little worried that Gongsun Cheng's affairs will affect her family.

Sometimes, no matter how strong one is, one will be timid because of many things. If it weren't for Mu Zhian today, Bai Ruoxi probably wouldn't have seriously injured Gongsun Cheng anyway.

Mu Zhian played with the teacup in his hand, looked up at the worry on the beauty's face, and smiled: "Since you are worried about the Bai family, why did you fight him at that time?"

Bai Ruoxi hesitated for a long time, and seemed a little difficult to say.

It was not until a long time later that the girl's voice, which she tried to suppress, came lightly in the room: "You were behind me at that time."

If she didn't take action at that time, the person who was injured would be Mu Zhian behind her.

Such a thing must be avoided at all costs.

If she said that she regretted severely injuring Gongsun Cheng, she naturally didn't have such an idea.

But the other party was the first genius of the Gongsun family. He lost so much face today. If the Gongsun family retaliated... Bai Ruoxi couldn't help but have such worries in her heart.

Mu Zhian gently placed the teacup on the table and smiled, "Don't worry, Gongsun Cheng can't affect the overall situation. For the Gongsun family, he is just a genius with good talent, that's all."

Yes... just a genius.

No matter how good Gongsun Cheng's talent is or how smart he is, he can't affect the overall situation.

The Gongsun family can't take care of themselves at the moment, how can they still have the mind to retaliate against others?

Gongsun Xiong probably wants the Mu and Bai families to forget his existence, and wait for him to recover from his injuries before making a comeback.

Although he said so, Bai Ruoxi still had a trace of worry in his eyes.

It is natural that Mu Zhian is not worried. Not to mention that Gongsun Xiong is seriously injured now, even if Gongsun Xiong was in his prime, he would not dare to openly retaliate against the Mu family, the biggest giant in Tianxuan City.

But the Bai family is different.

Because Lan Mulian is in Tianxuan City, Bai Yuanfeng is afraid that his identity as a demon cultivator will be exposed, so he naturally dares not to take action.

On the surface, the number of Bai family's soul-refining cultivators is really pitiful.

If the Gongsun family takes advantage of this to cause trouble...

Mu Zhian looked at the worry in Bai Ruoxi's eyes and suddenly said, "Ruoxi, what do you think will happen if someone catches up with you one day and then makes out with you on the street?"

Bai Ruoxi's thoughts returned to reality. Hearing this, he hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Everyone will know, right...?"

The fact that the most beautiful woman in Tianxuan City has a Taoist partner is a huge shock to many people.

Maybe it won't spread throughout the city, but at least it will spread quickly among those young cultivators.

When Bai Ruoxi said this, he seemed to have thought of something. He was slightly stunned. His autumn-like eyes stared at Mu Zhian and said, "What you did outside just now... was it for the Gongsun family to see?"

"Yes, but not all."

Mu Zhian said seriously, "There are other reasons. Guess again."

Bai Ruoxi didn't speak for a long time. After a long silence, he shook his head gently, "I can't guess."

Mu Zhian took out a bronze mirror and placed it in front of Bai Ruoxi.

The mirror reflected the beauty's stunning face, wearing a white dress embroidered with plum blossoms. The collar could not cover her breasts. Two strands of hair fell from both sides of her forehead and rested on her full chest. She looked cold and elegant, like a weak young lady who lived in seclusion.

"Did you guess it?" Mu Zhian asked.

Bai Ruoxi's eyes flashed with doubt, and then, suddenly aware of the burning gaze of the boy sitting opposite, she immediately lowered her eyes and whispered: "...I don't know."

Mu Zhian's words meant that Bai Ruoxi couldn't help it because she was "beautiful".

Bai Ruoxi naturally didn't have the nerve to say such words out loud.

Mu Zhian took the opportunity to hold the beauty's little hand on the table and said: "The Qi of Heaven can only be purified from the spiritual Qi near me. If I want to meditate, I must be by your side. Can I stay in the room to meditate at night?" "

Bai Ruoxi was slightly startled and subconsciously looked up at Mu Zhian.

His eyes were sincere and he could not see any lies. He said sincerely: "I will just meditate and practice, and I will never do anything bad."

"Besides, you are a ninth-level Qi practitioner. If I really do something bad, can I still beat you?"

This is true. There is probably a difference of three or four Gongsun Cheng between the ninth level of Qi Lian and the third level of Qi Lian. Bai Ruoxi's bronze sword can be used more than three times in a row. This is her current limit, and each sword is not of the same level. The enemy can resist.

Therefore, there is at least three Gongsun Cheng differences between the ninth level of Qi Lian and the third level of Qi Lian.

Bai Ruoxi was silent for a moment. In the silence, she sighed faintly: "If I mess up... I can't guarantee that I won't accidentally sacrifice the bronze sword."

The words seemed threatening, but also seemed a little weak.

Mu Zhian nodded in agreement.

He sat cross-legged at the foot of the bed, while Bai Ruoxi slightly bent her knees and took off the two snow-white socks on her feet.

Then he sat cross-legged on the bedside, took out the Qi of Heaven, purified the nearby mixed spiritual energy, and transformed it into spiritual energy that could be absorbed into the body.

Not long after, she suddenly felt a slight commotion beside her. When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw Mu Zhian sitting cross-legged next to her.

She hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything to stop him.

After all, the floor is cold at night, which is understandable.

But after a moment, she felt a slight breath fall on her face, slowly opened her eyes, and saw that handsome face staring directly at her.

A trace of panic flashed in Bai Ruoxi's eyes, her voice was slightly trembling, and she whispered: "What's wrong...?"

"It seems that simply absorbing spiritual energy is a bit slow. I am born with a furnace, or I can try another method..." Mu Zhian stared at the beauty's charming face and said softly.

Bai Ruoxi seemed to understand what he meant and lowered her eyes slightly, not knowing whether to refuse or accept.

Mu Zhian put his hands on her shoulders and said softly: "If you hate her, just push her away."

While speaking, he gently pressed Bai Ruoxi on the bed behind him.

Bai Ruoxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she half-opened her eyes to peek at Mu Zhian.

After hesitating for a moment, he gently hooked Mu Zhian's neck with both hands.

Mu Zhian couldn't help but lowered his head and touched the girl's lips lightly, then leaned into Bai Ruoxi's ear and said in a teasing tone: "If you let everyone know that the ninth-level Qi practitioner was suppressed by the third-level Qi practitioner, I wonder what everyone will think?"

When Bai Ruoxi heard this, her heart was inexplicably agitated. Her little hands subconsciously grasped the hem of her skirt, her back pressed against the bed, and she turned her face slightly away from looking at him.

She was still fooled.

Because the ninth level of Qi training... seems to be really no match for this little monk who is at the third level of Qi training.
