So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

After seeing off Mu Zhian, Mr. Huang turned around and returned to the hall.

He thought for a while, turned to look at the servant beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Go and call the lady."

The servant bowed slightly and left the hall.

Not long after, Huang Manting walked into the hall wearing black embroidered shoes. She glanced at the man in the hall with her coquettish eyes and shouted: "Dad, why did you come to see me?"

Mr. Huang smiled and knocked on the table and said, "Sit down and talk."

After Huang Manting sat down, Mr. Huang slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, saying, "The eldest young master of the Mu family just came to the Chamber of Commerce."

Huang Manting raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was a little surprised, and said: "Mu Zhian looks handsome and scholarly, but in fact he has many evil ideas in his heart. Dad, please don't underestimate him because of his age."

Mr. Huang smiled and nodded: "I came to you just to remind you of this matter."

"Mu Zhian and I have made an agreement. After entering the Liang Yi Sect, he and you will take care of each other. If you have any trouble in the future, you can go to him."

Huang Manting curled her lips, played with a strand of hair, and said: "Dad, I am also at the eighth level of Qi training. Do you think I will need him again?"

If anything, she lacked a servant to please her.

Mu Zhian is quite suitable.

Mr. Huang shook his head and said with a smile: "His level is not high, but he is very smart. No one can predict what will happen in the future."

"Didn't you get tricked by him once a few days ago?"

In those days, he didn't want to get involved in the affairs between the Bai family, the Gongsun family and the Mu family, but Mu Zhian found his daughter... As a last resort, the Gongsun family handed over the three cities.

Mentioning this matter, Huang Manting's face suddenly became gloomy and she said: "At that time, I just thought he was a playboy who was addicted to beauty and had no brains. Who would know..."

Recalling the scene that day when she was eaten by the other party and thought she had control over the other party, Huang Manting's originally indifferent smile suddenly disappeared from her face.

"What is he doing here today?" Huang Manting suddenly asked.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. In short, our Chamber of Commerce will not lose any profits. In the final analysis, it is just a matter of smooth flow." Mr. Huang smiled lightly and said: "I came to you just to remind you not to talk to Mu casually in the future. Knowing peace turns into evil."

Huang Manting lowered her eyes, swayed her white feet, and said, "Didn't Dad think more highly of Ye Yu before?"

"I was originally optimistic about Ye Yu because he has been a loser for several years, but he can still make a comeback and return to the realm of Qi training within a few months."

Mr. Huang paused, shook his head and smiled: "But with such an impetuous mentality, Ye Yu will not be able to go far in the future."

"As for the purpose of Mu Zhian's visit to Chenxi Chamber of Commerce today..." Mr. Huang deliberately let it slip.

"You'll know in a few days."

Not to mention that Bai Ruoxi only has a small part of the demonic energy, so what if she is a half-demon or even a demon cultivator?

When everyone thinks she is not a demon cultivator, then she is not.

…

Gongsun Mansion.

The secret agent of the Gongsun family stood under the shadow of the lamp, carefully peeping at Gongsun Xiong who was sitting on the chair and drinking afternoon tea, and said: "Master, how should we deal with this matter?"

He knew that the Mu family's recent pressure on the Gongsun family had made Gongsun Xiong extremely unhappy. If he wanted to take revenge, this would be an opportunity...

"Bai Ruoxi is not a demon cultivator, and the Gongsun family has not found any demonic aura. The Gongsun family believes in Miss Bai's character." Gongsun Xiong said lightly: "If anyone mentions this matter later, this is the answer."

It would be a good thing if the Bai family was exposed for hiding the demon cultivator, but now that he is still injured, if the demon cultivator is not found in the Bai family, the Gongsun family, who was the first to attack, will become the target of public criticism.

Just as Mu Zhian had guessed, Gongsun Xiong was an extremely cautious man, and he didn't want to make any big noise until his injury healed.

…

Ye family.

In the backyard, Ye Lingxuan was sitting alone in front of a remote pavilion.

Her sitting posture was dignified, her face was extremely beautiful, a small section of her white calves was exposed under her purple skirt, and her feet were wearing a pair of small short boots, and she was quietly listening to the information that Mr. Wei had received today.

After a while, Ye Lingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly and said softly: "Bai Ruoxi is a demon cultivator?"

Mr. Wei slowly shook his head and said, "I did see a wisp of pink demonic energy on the horizon this morning."

"Miss, that sect examiner is extremely talented. He has already seen his return to the void at a young age. Even I noticed it. It's impossible for her not to notice it."

Mr. Wei paused and continued: "If she really confirms that Bai Ruoxi is a demon cultivator, then Mu Zhian may also be implicated... So it is best for young lady not to get too close to him recently."

When he said this, he didn't speak anymore, but looked at the elegant girl in purple skirt intentionally or unintentionally.

During this period, Ye Lingxuan and Mu Zhian were too close...so close that Mr. Wei was a little panicked.

When the master asked him to follow the young lady, firstly, he wanted him to protect the young lady, and secondly, he also hoped that the young lady would not fall in love so soon.

Ye Lingxuan took a sip of tea, adding a little pink moisture to her lips, and said in a calm tone without any fluctuation: "Mu Zhian is Mu Zhian, and Bai Ruoxi is Bai Ruoxi. He and Bai Ruoxi are related, but because of this matter, Is it possible to be beheaded?”

"Also, did Mr. Wei forget that he gave all these things to me for safekeeping?" Ye Lingxuan opened her palms, and in her hands was a dragon beard that exuded a faint luster.

This dragon whisker, which had almost withered, seemed to come alive in Ye Lingxuan's hands, showing its true appearance.

Elder Wei was silent.

This Mu Zhian was really kind. He knew the value of the dragon whisker, but he still gave this ancient medicinal material to the young lady.

And Mu Zhian only received two thousand spirit stones.

This was almost the same as giving it away for free.

However... things that seemed to be given away for free were not completely given away for free.

Elder Wei looked at the worry in Ye Lingxuan's eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Because of the contact with the stinky boy of the Mu family during this period of time, and because of the dragon whisker and Ye Qian's frequent praise of Mu Zhian in her ears, the young lady has developed a great favor for him.

This dragon whisker seems to be given away for free... but from the current situation, Mu Zhian has caught a big fish with this dragon whisker.

There is even an extremely terrifying force behind this big fish...

"Is Senior Sister Lan still in Yangfeng Inn now?" Ye Lingxuan suddenly asked.

Elder Wei nodded slightly and said hesitantly, "Miss, do you want to see her?"

"Mu Zhian helped Qian'er before, and even though he rejected the invitations of Senior Sister Lan and Bai Ruoxi a few days ago, he still came to the auction house to keep the appointment. In addition, Long Tengxu this time... I don't like to owe favors to others." Ye Lingxuan said lightly.

Elder Wei said helplessly, "Then I will go with you."

If Ye Lingxuan asked this question to protect Mu Zhian, Lan Murian would definitely agree.

After all, even the Liangyi Sect attaches great importance to the mysterious force behind Ye Lingxuan.

Ye Lingxuan got on the carriage and unknowingly came to Yangfeng Inn.

She walked into the inn, and Elder Wei was waiting downstairs.

Ye Lingxuan lifted her skirt and stepped on the stairs to go upstairs, and saw the aloof Lan Murian in the guest room in the corner.

The two beautiful women complemented each other. One was about to bloom, with a kind of restrained classical beauty, while the other was already at the most attractive age, with outstanding temperament and excellent figure. Even in the Liangyi Sect, she was the dream lover of countless disciples.

Lan Mulian closed the manual on the table. When she saw Ye Lingxuan, she seemed a little surprised and said, "You actually took the initiative to find me."

"This morning, Miss Bai was undergoing the tribulation. Senior Sister Lan was also watching outside the city at that time, right?" Ye Lingxuan walked into the guest room, her purple skirt swaying gently. She glanced at the manual on the table, and then her eyes fell on Lan Mulian.

"Did Senior Sister find anything at that time?"

Lan Mulian raised her delicate eyebrows slightly and said, "Are you here for Mu Zhian?"

It seems that Mu Zhian is not as bad as the rumors say. Although Ye Lingxuan is still a young girl, she has been smart since childhood. If Mu Zhian was that kind of dandy, she would definitely not care, let alone come to see her today to "beg for mercy" for him.

"It seems that Senior Sister has discovered the secret of Bai Ruoxi?" Ye Lingxuan asked.

"I am probably the first person to notice it in the whole Tianxuan City." Lan Mulian said lightly.

"What is Senior Sister Lan's plan?" Ye Lingxuan asked directly.

"Bai Ruoxi's talent is amazing. If she is judged guilty because of a trace of demonic energy, it would be too unkind." Lan Mulian said indifferently.

Seeing that Ye Lingxuan seemed to be relieved, Lan Mulian continued to ask: "Do you think that if Bai Ruoxi is a demon cultivator, it will implicate Mu Zhian, so you came to see me specially?"

Ye Lingxuan smiled reservedly and said: "I owe Brother Mu a favor, so I have been looking for an opportunity to repay him for this favor."

After a pause, she continued: "But it seems that Senior Sister Lan is not a pedantic person. Lingxuan is much more relieved now."

"With Miss Ye's status and position, will people still owe you a favor?" Lan Mulian asked.

Ye Lingxuan smiled and nodded, "Brother Mu just gave me the dragon whisker that he bought at the auction house a few days ago."

"Dragon whisker..." Lan Murian looked at Ye Lingxuan deeply.

"No wonder you owe him a favor."

For ordinary people, Dragon Whiskers are useless, but Ye Lingxuan is different.

In her hands, Dragon Whiskers will play their true value.

"And that day he didn't hesitate to offend Senior Sister Lan and Miss Bai to come to the appointment. To be honest, if it weren't for his bad reputation in the past, I might have been moved." Ye Lingxuan continued.

Lan Murian pursed her cherry lips under the veil slightly, and said lightly: "Miss Ye, please go back if you have nothing to do."

Just as I guessed, Senior Sister really cares about Mu Zhian's affairs...Ye Lingxuan looked at Lan Murian meaningfully, and then retracted her gaze without a sound.

The corner of her eye inadvertently fell on the decorations beside her.

On the table beside was a vase with a noble snow lotus in it.

"Is this flower... a snow lotus?" Ye Lingxuan asked.

Lan Murian said "hmm" lightly: "The waiter just came up to change it today, but the artificially cultivated snow lotus is still a little bit worse after all."

Ye Lingxuan smiled lightly and said: "Senior Sister Lan, you don't know that the artificially cultivated snow lotus is indeed a little worse, but the snow lotus cultivated by the Mu Mansion is exactly the same as the real snow lotus?"

She changed her tone and continued: "Speaking of which, I received a snow lotus carefully cultivated by the Mu Mansion a few days ago..."

The atmosphere in the guest room suddenly stagnated.

Ye Lingxuan did not notice that the atmosphere was not right, raised her slender hand, and took out a small box from the ring.

After opening the small box, she took out the pure snow lotus from the starry Liuguang soil.

It had been buried in the Liuguang soil, but when Ye Lingxuan took out the snow lotus, its flowers and even its roots were not stained with any pollution.

It is unstained by mud and clean by water.

Lan Murian's eyes slowly fixed on the snow lotus.

"Where did this snow lotus come from?" Lan Murian had no expression.

Ye Lingxuan narrowed her eyes slightly, smiled sweetly, and said:

"Brother Mu gave it to me."

"Senior sister, I'll go first." Ye Lingxuan bowed politely and left briskly with the snow lotus in her arms.

Mu Zhian... Lan Murian's forehead was faintly blue, and a hint of deep coldness appeared in her calm eyes.

…

That night, after dinner in the restaurant, Mu Zhian was lying in Bai Ruoxi's bed, yawning lazily.

"Mu Lang...you've worked so hard today." Bai Ruoxi's soft and sympathetic voice came from the room.

Just now, Bai Ruoxi was like a fragile flower that was destroyed by a storm. Now that the rain has passed, the girl's white face, moistened by the rain, has a seductive blush on it, and she is not cold at all in the eyes of outsiders.

Mu Zhian gently touched her head, his chest pressed against her back, and comforted her: "It's not hard or not. For you, it's worth sleeping late."

Bai Ruoxi was stunned for a while before reacting. She was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "I'm not talking about this!"

She paused and continued: "I ran around everywhere because of my affairs during the day, and I offended my senior sister. I'm really sorry for you..."

Mu Zhian gently patted her thigh and said: "Don't worry about such trivial matters. Senior sister is an upright person. You are not a demon cultivator. How could she deal with you?"

"As for the Gongsun family and the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, I said today that there is no need to worry about the two sides. Everyone is a good person and will not tarnish someone's innocence." Mu Zhian continued.

"If someone wants to tarnish someone's innocence, the Gongsun family and the Dawn Chamber of Commerce will also help us prove it."

Feeling that the girl's originally tense body in his arms finally relaxed completely, Mu Zhian reached out and held her waist, asking her to turn around and face him.

"When do you think Ye Yu will take action?" Bai Ruoxi suddenly asked.

"He may not take action." Mu Zhian paused and continued, "But if he wants to take action, he will naturally choose the busiest time with the most people."

Bai Ruoxi pondered for a long time, raised his eyes and looked at him: "On the day of the sect assessment?"

Mu Zhian said "hmm", let Bai Ruoxi bury his face in his arms, and said: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged."

All plans are proceeding in an orderly manner.

If someone really has bad intentions on the day of the sect assessment, it will only be backfired by himself.
