So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

"Are you talking about the sect master?"

Wei Mengrou suddenly asked when she noticed the direction Mu Zhian was looking up.

"As expected of my personal maid, Sister Mengrou really knows everything." Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Wei Mengrou curled her lips: "It's just some basic speculations."

As she spoke, she remembered something important and continued: "You went to Tianxuan City two days ago. Did you visit Mr. Ren by the way?"

When they were in Tianxuan City in the past, Mr. Ren took good care of both Wei Mengrou and Mu Zhian. Even when Mu Zhian was still a playboy, the old man never disliked him. Therefore, even Mu Zhian at that time respected Mr. Ren very much.

"I gave him a few bottles of elixir and chatted with him for a while." Mu Zhian nodded.

Wei Mengrou nodded slightly and said no more.

After bidding farewell to Wei Mengrou, Mu Zhian arrived in front of Liangyi Peak on his sword and called his senior sister in the peak by sending a message with a paper crane.

After waiting for a while, a beautiful woman in a white dress with her feet on clouds quietly appeared in the field of vision in Liangyi Peak.

"Senior sister." Mu Zhian shouted.

Lan Murian nodded slightly, glanced at him, and said, "Master is waiting for you in the courtyard."

"She already knows I'm coming..." Mu Zhian was a little surprised, but not very surprised.

After all, this is a big shark, and it seems that he has been planning something since he just entered the sect, so it is not surprising that he can guess his movements.

When he arrived in front of the courtyard, Mu Zhian met the peerless Liangyi Sect leader in a unique and elegant room.

One of the few powerful people in the Hedao realm in the world, she is also a woman that Mu Zhian has not seen through so far.

She was just as Mu Zhian had thought of her in the past, casual, noble, elegant and mysterious. If you didn't look at her insignificant breasts or even her plump and protruding figure, you would only feel a strong sense of awe in front of her.

Fortunately, Mu Zhian's "love" for the Sect Master was greater than "reverence", so he didn't act submissive or even lose his composure in front of her.

"Sit down, don't be so reserved." Shang Yanfei showed her signature royal sister smile, with a mysterious temperament.

"The Sect Master knew I would come to you?" Mu Zhian sat opposite her at Shang Yanfei's signal.

"The Green Emperor just entered your other cauldron not long ago, it's not surprising that you came to me." Shang Yanfei chuckled.

This sect master really knows everything. Even the cave where I entered the Pilgrimage Temple may have been secretly guided by her... Mu Zhian said concisely: "Senior Qingdi needs reincarnation water and Tiandan Phoenix fruit."

"Tiandan Phoenix fruit is in Yaochi Holy Land. If you don't go to them, they will come to you." Shang Yanfei said.

"However, how do you want to get reincarnation water?" She stared at Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said: "When people don't encounter a big enemy, they will only consider their own interests, but once they have a common enemy, they will consider the allies. The strength of the allies can also reduce their own loss of interests."

"Senior Qingdi said before that the old demon's strength is not as good as before. Even if she is gone, he will also die in another hundred years."

"So... you want to squeeze out its last value before that?" Shang Yanfei raised her eyebrows slightly.

"But I am a little worried. If the people in the demon world notice it, will they come to rescue or something..." When Mu Zhian said this, he secretly peeked at the empress.

Shang Yanfei slowly picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, which made her lips more moist.

"A thousand years ago, the demon world was barren and the entire North Continent was in constant war, but the Demon King did not stop it all, because the way he practiced was related to the power of life and death."

"After that, the Demon King's skills were perfected and he coveted Dongzhou, so he led the demon cultivators to attack Dongzhou, but he happened to meet the Green Emperor."

"You also know what happened after that. The Green Emperor suppressed the Demon King with the Pure World Green Lotus. Not long after, the adopted daughter of the Demon King succeeded the Demon Queen and quelled the war in a few years."

Mu Zhian's eyes moved slightly, and he said: "The sect master means that if the Demon Queen knew that the first generation of the Demon King was in the Liangyi Sect, would she not send someone to rescue him? But they are not father and daughter...?"

"The Demon King adopted nine adopted sons and nine adopted daughters in total, and the one who survived in the end can become his successor." Shang Yanfei said.

I understand. Is the first demon king raising poisonous insects? Mu Zhian understood it.

Think about it carefully. Does the beautiful snake really not know where the first demon king is?

The pilgrimage hall was shaken more than once. Ying Guhuan probably told the demon queen about this news a long time ago.

But the other party has not made any move. Is it because he is not sure that the first demon king is sealed in Liangyi Sect, or... he doesn't care about the other party's life or death?

After listening to Shang Yanfei's words, the answer seems to be very obvious.

"The Qing Emperor sacrificed himself for Dongzhou. The Lord of the Forbidden Zone is not a stubborn and pedantic person. If you explain the reason to him, he will help you."

Shang Yanfei paused, with a hint of teasing smile: "However, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone has only one daughter since ancient times, so he loves her very much."

"Compared to the reincarnation water, he may care more about his daughter's emotional problems."

Although he didn't continue to say it, Mu Zhian already knew what Shang Yanfei meant.

This was indirectly telling him: After hooking up with the Saint of the Forbidden Zone, you have to be mentally prepared before meeting the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

“Thank you, Sect Master, for your enlightenment.” Mu Zhian clasped his fists.

Then, he talked to Concubine Shang Yan for a few more words, and before he got up and left, he suddenly said: "By the way, Sect Master, what I said before about going to the Pilgrimage Temple to see the peach blossoms..."

"There will definitely be a chance in the future." Concubine Shang Yan smiled lightly, and her elegant and bright eyes stared at Mu Zhian quietly.

This sounds like "next time for sure"... Mu Zhian bowed again and said goodbye to the empress.

He was just testing the other party a little, not really wanting to introduce this great white shark into the fish pond so early.

...

After leaving the court, Mu Zhian saw Lan Murian sitting under the pavilion outside.

There were piles of delicious dishes on the table, and the rich aroma of the dishes filled the air.

"Senior sister, are you having supper so late?" Mu Zhian came to Lan Murian's side and asked with a smile.

Lan Murian glanced at him and said indifferently, "This is not what I want."

Although she had someone send it, it was not what she wanted to eat. After all, the Return to Void Realm did not need to eat anything, and she had no interest in most foods.

"If it wasn't what Senior Sister wanted, it couldn't be what the Sect Master wanted...?" Mu Zhian said.

It stands to reason that the Sect Master should not be a greedy person...

Lan Murian glanced at him and said, "Not Master."

Who else could it be?

Linglong...?

Well, it's not impossible. After all, Linglong has been in the sect for so long, it is impossible for him not to know the Sect Master.

After all, it seems that the Sect Master's shadow is behind his meeting with Linglong.

He grabbed Ye Yu, the fat sheep, and tried to fleece him, while the empress also grabbed him and tried to fleece him...Oh, no, Concubine Shang Yan was not fleecing, she was sending him wool.

Gazing at Mu Zhian who seemed to be thinking about something, Lan Murian hesitated for a moment, and then, with a hint of strangeness on her cold face that seemed to be carefully carved by God, she said, "Thank you for today's gift."

This is really strange, Senior Sister actually said thank you...

Mu Zhian looked at the cold Senior Sister strangely as if she was looking at a rare animal, and said with a smile, "Senior Sister helped me a lot in the past, and I also want to do something for you."

As if unwilling to dwell on this topic, Lan Murian changed the subject and said, "The Saint of Yao Chi should have come to see you today?"

Mu Zhian nodded and said, "Fairy Yao Yue asked me some questions... By the way, I don't seem to have seen her tonight?"

"She left Liangyi Sect and returned to Yao Chi this evening." Lan Murian said.

She returned to Yao Chi so early... It seems that the matter of the Green Emperor is indeed very important to her and even to Yao Chi.

Mu Zhian understood in his heart.

"What did she ask you for?" Lan Murian asked knowingly. Under the veil, a pair of bright eyes stared at Mu Zhian quietly.

Mu Zhian did not intend to hide this matter, and replied: "Senior sister should know what happened in the Pilgrimage Hall before?"

"Of course." She nodded gently.

"In fact, there is a cave created by Senior Qingdi. Now she is seriously injured, so she is temporarily staying in my body." Mu Zhian said.

"Senior Qingdi is in your body?" Lan Murian heard an unexpected news and stared at Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian nodded and said: "My natural furnace seems to be able to warm the spiritual consciousness, so Senior Qingdi chose to rest in my other furnace for a while."

Lan Murian's eyes flashed slightly, and she said to herself: "Senior Qingdi would not be seriously injured for no reason, and there was obviously some seal in the Pilgrimage Hall at that time. Is it because of that seal that she became like this now?"

Thoughts flashed in her mind, as if she was thinking about something.

After a moment, Lan Murian seemed to have figured out something and couldn't help but chuckle, but soon maintained her usual aloof attitude and said: "Yao Chi Holy Land is an ancient family. If Yao Chi Saint asks you for help, she will give you corresponding rewards. Don't be polite to her."

Looking at the way Yao Chi Saint and Senior Sister get along today, the two obviously have a good relationship, but Senior Sister still prefers my side... Mu Zhian was quite pleased and nodded seriously.

After the two chatted for a few more sentences, Lan Murian suddenly said:

"Three days later, there will be a small competition between disciples at Qingyang Hall on the south bank. If you are interested, you can go and see it then."

"Small competition?" Mu Zhian asked in confusion, "If I remember correctly, the south bank seems to be the territory of the Law Enforcement Hall? Why is there a competition for no reason?"

"This time, the genius disciples from the outside world have entered the sect one after another. It is a small exchange to test the strength of the other party." Lan Murian said.

"Will Senior Sister also participate?" Mu Zhian asked.

Lan Murian shook her head slightly: "The two venues are attended by disciples who are practicing Qi and refining spirits."

No wonder... Mu Zhian suddenly realized.

Lan Murian, who is in the Return to Void Realm, is already at the level of an 'elder' in Liangyi Sect. How can others play when the referee enters the venue?

"I am only a few years younger than my senior sister, but my senior sister has already reached the Return to Void Realm, while I have just reached the Refining Spirit Realm. The gap is really big." Mu Zhian sighed lightly, feeling a little emotional.

Lan Murian said carefully: "It is rare for someone of your age to reach the Refining Spirit Realm. There is no need to belittle yourself."

"I know." Mu Zhian nodded.

It is estimated that his talent has surpassed more than 99% of his peers, but several people he knows around him are peerless geniuses who have achieved a small success, so in comparison, it seems that his talent is very weak.

And... he doesn't really care whether his talent is weak or not.

After all, his position is not a genius at all, but a 'supporting genius'.

And he got encouragement from his senior sister tonight, which is not a pity... Mu Zhian stared at Lan Murian's beautiful face covered with a veil, and suddenly said: "By the way, what is the constitution of my senior sister?"

Lan Murian did not say anything.

Mu Zhian continued: "Sacred body of destiny?"

The cold beauty's eyes moved slightly, and she raised her eyelids and stared at Mu Zhian.

"When did you find out?"

"As long as you observe my senior sister more often, you will naturally find out." Mu Zhian smiled.

Lan Murian glanced at him and responded coldly: "I think the one you observe the most is Miss Bai."

Mu Zhian shook his head and said: "I am devoted to my senior sister."

Lan Murian raised a mocking arc at the corner of her mouth, obviously not believing it.

Then he thought: But if he didn't observe carefully, how did he know my constitution?

Master told him?

It is impossible... Master would never tell Mu Zhian about such a thing.

Mu Zhian stared at Lan Mulian, who was wearing a gorgeous long dress and looked like a fairy from the Yaotai, and suddenly said: "By the way, Senior Sister, there are only two of us here, why don't you take off your veil?"

Lan Mulian responded coldly: "What are you doing?"

"I want to see." Mu Zhian stared at Senior Sister's bright eyes.

"Not interested." Lan Mulian refused.

There was a slight silence in the pavilion for a moment, and Mu Zhian suddenly pointed behind Lan Mulian and said: "Senior Sister, look at what that is."

When Lan Mulian was about to turn around, Mu Zhian took the opportunity to reach out and take off the thin veil on Lan Mulian's face, staring at the beautiful face, and smiled: "It's really beautiful."

Realizing that she was being teased, Lan Mulian's eyes were full of anger, staring at the smile on Mu Zhian's face, and said: "Get lost."

"Okay!" Mu Zhian was satisfied and turned away.

Lan Mulian stared silently at the direction where Mu Zhian left, and was silent in the pavilion.

After a while, the beauty in the white dress stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

She slowly raised her head in the moonlight, closed her eyes slightly, and felt the cool air. After a long time, she opened her eyes again.

"Mu Zhian..." She murmured softly for no reason.

On that cold face, there seemed to be a faint blush under the moonlight.

...

Canghai Peak, back mountain.

Leaning against the throne, Ying Guhuan, who was dignified, raised her eyes slightly and stared at the man standing in front of the palace.

"Didn't I say that if you have nothing to do, don't come to Canghai Peak to find me?" Ying Guhuan said in a soft and gentle voice.

"News from the Queen." The man spoke respectfully, and then presented a piece of letter paper.

Hearing the word "Queen", Ying Guhuan's face became more serious, and she took the letter paper and opened it.

Then, after reading it carefully, the face of the first generation leader could not help but have a strange look.

"Does the Queen have any instructions...?" The man asked tentatively.

"This is not a letter to me." Ying Guhuan said.

"If it is not written to you... then who else could it be?"

Ying Guhuan did not answer, but glanced at him lazily and said, "You can leave first."

After a while, after her subordinates left, she showed a thoughtful look on her face, called a disciple, and said, "Go and call Mu Zhian."
