So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Huang Manting is the daughter of Mr. Huang of the Morning Chamber of Commerce. She is an eighth-grade Qi practitioner. No one has ever scolded or abused her since she was a child. She showed amazing talent when she was young. She reached the peak of Jing Refining at the age of thirteen and entered the Qi Refining Realm at the age of fourteen.

She is very smart and talented. Although her parents are busy, she has not developed a spoiled habit like ordinary rich ladies.

However, Huang Manting's problem is actually much more serious than spoiled...

Morning Chamber of Commerce.

This is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Tianxuan City, and a rather luxurious mansion is located here.

The hall decorated with exquisite and gorgeous decorations shows the wealth of the owner. Huang Manting, who is called a demon girl, sits with her legs crossed, her hands supporting her fragrant cheeks, and her tender white feet wrapped in a pair of black embroidered shoes are shaking.

Beside her, the spy responsible for secretly investigating Mu Zhian stood respectfully beside her and confided the intelligence he had obtained in the past two days one by one.

"Miss, this is the information about Mu Zhian that I found out in the past two days."

Huang Manting narrowed her eyes slightly and said softly: "A few years ago, he was still a useless young master who was obsessed with beauty. He had nothing good except his face. Later, he became more restrained because he fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Bai family, and pursued her madly, but was repeatedly rejected."

"Then some time ago, the Bai family was hit by a disaster and was suppressed by my father and the head of the Gongsun clan. Bai Ruoxi had to ask for the help of the Mu family... There is no problem here."

"However, now that the head of the Bai family has returned, and the sect assessment is about to begin, Bai Ruoxi has no reason to follow Mu Zhian wholeheartedly."

After all, with the strength that Bai Ruoxi showed yesterday, it would be very easy for her to enter the Liangyi Sect, and she might even be able to compete for the position of an inner disciple.

In this case, she has no reason to be so devoted to Mu Zhian... unless she likes Mu Zhian.

But for a long time in the past, Bai Ruoxi hated Mu Zhian very much. At that time, Mu Zhian was not even Bai Ruoxi's spare tire... Why did Bai Ruoxi's attitude change in just a few days?

"Could it be that he was threatened?" asked the maid next to him.

Huang Manting hooked the embroidered shoes on her toes as if nothing had happened, and said lightly: "Impossible, unless the Bai family is really facing a crisis of extinction, there is no reason for Miss Bai to do this."

"And... I didn't see that she had any intention of resisting yesterday."

"Could it be that she just simply likes Mu Zhian?" The maid guessed.

The embroidered shoes fell to the ground from her toes. Huang Manting twisted her hair with a slender finger and squinted her eyes and said: "If so, it's really interesting."

In just a few days, how did Mu Zhian capture the heart of the cold and beautiful first woman.

And... What would Bai Ruoxi's reaction be if she knew that the man she liked gradually became someone else's shape, or even became a slave under someone else's feet.

Huang Manting tapped the edge of the chair gently. The maid understood what she meant, bent her knees slightly, held Huang Manting's smooth white jade toes, and put on her embroidered shoes.

At this time, a servant outside the house hurried into the hall, with a subtle look, and said: "Miss, Master Mu is asking for an audience at the door..."

He remembered that when Mr. Huang went to the auction house today, he specifically told him that if Mu Zhian wanted to see him in the next few days, he should say that he had something to do and had not returned home yet.

This statement clearly meant that he did not want to get involved in the affairs between the Mu family and the Gongsun family, or even the Bai family.

Mr. Huang is a businessman, and what businessmen care about most is only profit.

Huang Manting raised her eyes slightly and said: "Didn't you tell him that my father was not in the Chamber of Commerce today?"

"I did... but Master Mu said he came to see you."

"Oh?" Huang Manting narrowed her eyes slightly and became a little interested.

As the largest Chamber of Commerce in Tianxuan City, the Dawn Chamber of Commerce naturally has trade relations with many families, and the Mu family is no exception.

However, Mu Zhian had basically never said a few words to Huang Manting in the past.

Although the latter was also a beauty, her personality made Mu Zhian dislike her.

Mu Zhian came to see her today, which naturally made Huang Manting more curious.

"Please ask him to come in." Huang Manting said.

Not long after, a handsome young man walked into the hall under the guidance of the servants.

Huang Manting immediately showed a sweet smile on her face and said, "Master Mu, please sit down."

After inviting Mu Zhian to sit down, Huang Manting asked the servants to leave the hall, and then personally poured him a cup of tea.

"Master Mu, I wonder if you came to visit our Chenxi Chamber of Commerce early in the morning. Is there anything?" Huang Manting asked softly.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled, "Originally, there was nothing, but I recently learned from the spy that Miss Huang was investigating my affairs."

It should be said that the Mu family is worthy of being a family. They are really well-connected in Tianxuan City. They have just investigated Mu Zhian for less than half a day, and the news has leaked out.

Huang Manting narrowed her eyes slightly, her voice clear and pleasant: "Master Mu, are you here to blame Manting?"

What she did was at best to satisfy her personal curiosity, and would not threaten the overall interests of the Mu family. Therefore, even if the Mu family knew about it, they would at most give a verbal warning and would not do anything.

In other words, even if Mu Zhian came to the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce today to ask her for an explanation, he would only be incompetent and furious.

Who knows, Mu Zhian shook his head.

"How can I bear to blame a beauty like Miss Huang?" Mu Zhian smiled.

Huang Manting narrowed her eyes slightly, and was quite pleased with Mu Zhian's praise.

She stared at Mu Zhian suspiciously: "Then what is Master Mu here for...?"

"I'm here to satisfy Miss Huang's curiosity." Mu Zhian said seriously.

"Instead of asking someone to investigate for a long time and find nothing, it's better for me to answer Miss Huang's question myself."

Huang Manting smiled sweetly: "You came to Chenxi Chamber of Commerce in private just to satisfy my curiosity...?"

"If Miss Bai knew about it, would she really not be jealous?"

Why does it sound like a bitch... Mu Zhi'an picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "She is not the kind of jealous person."

Although Mu Zhian felt that he didn't understand women very well, he could tell from Bai Ruoxi's character that although the girl looked cold and cold, she was actually a very tolerant person.

After all, with such a big heart, it is normal to be able to tolerate others.

"I once heard that Master Mu was pursuing Miss Bai, and he often used to be hot-tempered but cold-hearted. Is this true?" Huang Manting suddenly asked.

Since Mu Zhian said he was here to answer her question, she would naturally not be polite.

"It's true." Mu Zhian nodded and smiled.

In the past, he did have a warm face but a cold butt. Bai Ruoxi has always been indifferent to Mu Zhian's pursuit, and even hated it. It's just that he is the eldest son of the Mu family, so he can't speak too seriously.

But if I have to talk about it, Mu Zhian has been equally hot and cold in the past two days, but this time, Bai Ruoxi was much more enthusiastic towards him, and even a little shy.

"That's strange...how did Master Mu pursue Miss Bai in just a few days?" Huang Manting asked curiously.

Mu Zhian smiled and said: "How I pursued it in the past, I naturally pursue it in the same way recently."

As he spoke, he sighed and said, "Ruoxi is actually a relatively simple girl. The reason why she agreed to my pursuit may be because she was moved by my sincerity."

Huang Manting smiled lightly: "Congratulations to Master Mu. It's great to be able to pursue such a beautiful lady as Miss Bai."

Mu Zhian smiled slightly: "I feel very lucky too."

Huang Manting changed the topic and continued: "Miss Bai's attack yesterday was amazing. She defeated Gongsun Cheng with just one sword. I wonder how much Master Mu knows about her bronze sword?"

This is what she really wants to know. She naturally cares about the relationship between Mu Zhian and Bai Ruoxi, but what she cares more about is the devastating power Bai Ruoxi showed yesterday.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know the details, but in the same realm, she should have no enemies."

Huang Manting stared into Mu Zhian's eyes and said, "Master Mu is so sure?"

"You seem to be at the eighth level of Qi training, right? You should have seen the power displayed by that bronze sword much more clearly than I did." Mu Zhian said.

Huang Manting was silent.

Although she didn't want to admit it, when she saw Bai Ruoxi's sword on the stage, she did feel a sense of powerlessness in her heart.

Even though she kept hinting that she would have a chance to fight back as long as she avoided Bai Ruoxi's weird sword... But the question is, can that sword really be avoided?

"It seems that Miss Bai will be able to defeat her peers this time and become the first disciple to enter the Liang Yi Sect." Huang Manting said quietly.

Mu Zhian smiled and said nothing.

He just came to the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce to "negotiate" and show off to the Gongsun family. The chat with Huang Manting was just to kill time at best, and he could leave after a while.

At this time, Huang Manting suddenly changed her voice and said quietly: "I may not be Bai Ruoxi's opponent, but if..."

She gently placed her slender hand on the back of Mu Zhian's hand, raised her eyes slightly, and said in a soft and sweet voice, "What if I am Bai Ruoxi's love rival?"

"How about you stop being Bai Ruoxi's husband and become my man?"

When she said this, she gently held Mu Zhian's palm with her delicate hands.

Mu Zhian frowned slightly, feeling a little "embarrassed" for a moment, but a little moved, and said, "Miss Huang, Huang, this is inappropriate. I can't be sorry to Ruoxi."

The corners of Huang Manting's mouth turned up inadvertently, the hand holding the tea cup suddenly shook, and the tea splashed on her chest. She stood up in panic and said softly: "Ah... no, Mr. Mu, can you wipe it for me?" "

Mu Zhian lowered his head and said helplessly: "Miss Huang, it really can't be done... Ruoxi will be angry if she finds out."

"Just wipe it for me~"

Huang Manting gently grabbed Mu Zhian's hand, stuffed a handkerchief into his hand, and guided his palm to wipe the tea for herself.

Mu Zhian was helpless, but at Huang Manting's request, he still "reluctantly" wiped it gently.

Huang Manting took full notice of Mu Zhian's performance, and couldn't help but feel a little contempt in her eyes.

Bai Ruoxi's strength is amazing, but her vision in choosing Taoist companions is really disappointing.

With a little trick, he was fascinated.

This time, let him wipe the tea on her body. Next time, she should let him lie on the floor and lick her feet.

The so-called training should be done step by step~

"Sorry, I really caused trouble to Master Mu." Huang Manting's eyes were full of apology, and she said softly: "You don't blame Manting, do you?"

"Miss Huang... please don't tell Ruoxi about this. She will ignore me if she finds out." Mu Zhian said helplessly.

"If I ignore you, Master Mu can accompany me in the future, right?" Huang Manting said softly, "By the way, Master Mu, we have an auction in two days. I would like to invite Master Mu to the private room. Would you please do me the honor?"

When she said this, she raised her eyes slightly, with a pair of moist eyes with a request.

"If Master Mu refuses to agree, I will have to tell Miss Bai about what happened just now."

Mu Zhian said in embarrassment, "But I really can't let Ruoxi down... Hey."

When she said this, she sighed heavily.

Looking at Mu Zhian's innocent and handsome face like a boy next door, and the embarrassed look on his face at this time, Huang Manting's mouth corners inadvertently raised a charming arc, and said softly:

"Just this time... Just accompany me this time, okay?"

As she said this, she gently grabbed one of Mu Zhian's hands with both hands, with a little girl's pleading in her eyes.

The soft and sweet voice, coupled with the charming face and the pitiful pleading, if someone of a lower level, might really fall into the sweet love net woven by Huang Manting.

Mu Zhian looked at the pleading in Huang Manting's eyes, fully demonstrating the self-cultivation of an actor, sighed lightly, gently kneaded Huang Manting's slender jade-like soft little hand, and said:

"Okay... But Miss Huang, don't threaten me with this matter next time."

"Really? Great!" Huang Manting patted her chest lightly, and a strand of hair slid down from her forehead, looking particularly charming.

Next, Mu Zhian chatted with Huang Manting for a few more words, during which his eyes were "uncontrollably" attracted by her, as if he was fascinated.

Then, seeing that it was getting late, he got up and said goodbye.

Mu Zhian bowed and said, "Miss Huang, let's meet at the auction house in two days. I will come to find you then."

Huang Manting smiled and nodded: "Well, I am looking forward to it."

With the maid's farewell, Mu Zhian turned and left the Dawn Chamber of Commerce.

He gently clenched his palms and recalled the feel of the witch in the Dawn Chamber of Commerce just now.

Oh, that weight is not even half of Bai Ruoxi's.

No wonder she didn't win the title of the most beautiful woman in Tianxuan City.

First, it's her almost pathological sadistic personality, and second, it's probably... her breast volume is far less than Bai Ruoxi's.

Mu Zhian got on the carriage and said to the driver, "Let's go to Chaohai Inn."

Since we are out, let's buy some osmanthus cake and then go to visit Senior Sister Lan.

It just so happens that the snow lotus I gave her before is almost withered, so I can give her a new snow lotus.
