So, They Were the Protagonists All Along
Chapter 25 Liangyi Sect 5K (1/2)
After asking about the location of Bai's father, Mu Zhian first went back to the Mu family and invited Mr. Ren, who was making tea in the hall of the Mu family.
When the old man heard that Mu Zhian was in trouble, he went with him to the place where Bai's father was hiding without saying a word.
To Mu Zhian's surprise, Bai Ruoxi told him that Bai's father was not in the Bai family's mansion, but in a hidden mansion several miles west of the city gate.
At this moment, Mu Zhian was sitting in the carriage on the way to the destination, frowning.
When he set out, there was something he couldn't figure out, and now he felt even more suspicious.
Bai Ruoxi seemed to feel the changes in the young man beside him, and couldn't help but ask softly: "What is Master Mu thinking about?"
Mu Zhian said: "Miss Bai, when was the last time you saw your father?"
"I went to visit him yesterday, and he looked much better. He should be able to recover in a month or two." Bai Ruoxi replied.
She looked gloomy, obviously still under the blow of her mother's intention to harm the Bai family, so that her originally bright and moving eyes looked a little dim.
"That's a bit strange..." Mu Zhian frowned slightly.
Under Bai Ruoxi's puzzled gaze, Mu Zhian continued: "If your mother betrayed the Bai family, why didn't you get rid of Uncle Bai as well, but let him recover from his injuries?"
Bai Ruoxi whispered: "With Dad's strength, even if he was seriously injured, it is not something that a person in the Qi training realm can deal with."
"What if the Gongsun family is included?" Mu Zhian asked back.
"Since the Gongsun family can know your father's way back to the city and set traps to attack him in advance, why can't they cut the grass and wipe it out?"
Bai Ruoxi was obviously stunned.
Yes... Since she knew Dad's location, why didn't Mom ask people to cut the grass and wipe it out?
Because of the old relationship...?
Or is there another purpose?
While Bai Ruoxi was still thinking, Mu Zhian shook his head gently and said:
"Forget it, it's useless to think about these things now. Let's ask about the specific situation in detail after seeing my uncle."
Unconsciously, the few people came to a very remote cabin.
Bai Ruoxi got off the carriage, turned his head and said to the three people: "Please wait a moment, there is a barrier outside, I need to tell the guards in advance."
After that, Bai Ruoxi stepped on a few small steps gracefully and walked into the cabin.
After a while, she pushed open the door of the cabin and nodded gently to the three people.
Walking into the house, I saw a pale man lying on the bed. The man looked a little rough and his beard was messy. If outsiders knew that he was Bai Ruoxi's biological father, they would probably have such a thought: How did he give birth to such a beautiful daughter?
Mu Zhian said with a respectful tone: "Uncle."
Father Bai supported the head of the bed with his hands, and the guards beside him hurriedly came forward to help him sit in front of the bed.
"Sit anywhere, you're welcome." Father Bai looked disordered, but his voice was still loud.
Mu Zhian nodded slightly, sat on a wooden chair beside him, and decided to get straight to the point, saying:
"Uncle, Ruoxi and I came here this time because we have something to say..."
When Bai Ruoxi heard this, her little hand subconsciously grasped the fabric of her white dress, and her eyes were extremely complicated.
The atmosphere seemed a little serious.
Mu Zhian subconsciously glanced at the two guards.
"You all go down first." Father Bai understood what Mu Zhian meant, raised his hand, and asked the two to leave.
In order to avoid the family scandal, Mu Zhian also asked the old man and Wei Mengrou to leave the wooden house for the time being.
After the few people left, Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter is related to my wife..."
Father Bai was obviously startled and said, "My wife?"
Mu Zhian nodded, and then roughly recounted what he had seen.
Bai Ruoxi, who was standing by, nodded with mixed feelings to prove the truth of the matter.
Father Bai was silent for a long time, and tore off the gauze on his chest. His muscles were clearly defined. Although his face was pale, it was hard to hide his strong figure. It made people feel that this was not a cultivator in the realm of refining spirits, but a crude warrior.
He looked at Mu Zhian meaningfully and said with a smile: "Boy, to be honest, my wife does not like me, but she will never betray the Bai family."
"She has always been in charge of the Bai family. She has all the power and money. What good will it do for her to betray the Bai family?"
Bai Ruoxi felt a little hope in his heart. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at his biological father, saying: "If that's the case, why would mother be with Gongsun Xiong...?"
After hearing this, Bai's father was silent for a long time and sighed: "She doesn't like me or Gongsun Xiong."
"From the beginning when she married into the Bai family, she was reluctant, but I thought that the grace of husband and wife over the years should make her think of the old feelings, but I didn't expect..." When Bai's father said this, he sighed heavily.
"Then my mother... who does she like?" Bai Ruoxi couldn't help asking.
Bai's father didn't say anything, but just raised his head slightly and looked at the ceiling, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
It's a pity that there is no cigarette at this time, otherwise Mu Zhian wanted to pass a cigarette to Bai's father and listen to him talk about the past.
"In fact, from the moment I married her, I knew she wouldn't want to just be the wife of the Bai family." Father Bai said.
"So what does she want?" Mu Zhian couldn't help asking.
Father Bai looked at Mu Zhian meaningfully and said, "Power and money."
After the voice fell, Mu Zhian was puzzled at first, and then, when he connected a series of events in his mind, his expression froze slightly.
He stared at Bai's father and whispered:
"She wants to swallow the three major families?"
Bai's father just said that Bai Yuanfeng was unwilling to marry into the Bai family at the beginning, so he tried every means to solve the problem of Bai's father later.
After that, he planned to let his daughter marry into the Mu family... Because the Mu family was heavily guarded, Bai Yuanfeng had no chance to infiltrate at first, but as long as Bai Ruoxi married into the Mu family, it was equivalent to planting an eyeliner.
After that, just drive the wolf to swallow the tiger.
No... In terms of the power of the Mu family, it should be to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf!
If Mu Zhian had not awakened his memory by chance, he would probably have readily agreed to Bai Ruoxi's request now. After the two got married, the Mu family would naturally stand up for the Bai family.
And Mu Zhian is Bai Yuanfeng's son-in-law. After this, as long as he has a good relationship with his son-in-law and makes him trust him, the Mu family will also slowly fall under his control.
This Bai's father knows everything. He is on the fifth floor... Mu Zhian said: "So, uncle's serious injury is also in the plan?"
Bai's father grinned and said: "If I knew, I would not have gone that way when I returned to the city. Who knew that she would target me instead of Gongsun Xiong."
Mu Zhian: "..."
The Bai family was suppressed by the two families and could not take care of themselves. It seems that it is not simply because they were besieged by the two families, but without Bai Yuanfeng's help, this rough old man does not know how to play a battle of wits with others... Mu Zhian is a little bit overwhelmed.
"Uncle, I asked Mr. Ren to come over. If you don't mind, let him take a look at your injuries now?" Mu Zhian reluctantly gathered his thoughts and decided to change the subject.
He was afraid that he would have a cerebral congestion if he continued to talk to the other party.
Father Bai looked at the handsome young man in front of him and said, "Why are you willing to help me?"
Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "For love."
Bai Ruoxi blushed and secretly glanced at Mu Zhian without saying anything.
But Father Bai understood something, frowned slightly, and said, "I had an agreement with that vulgar old man of the Ye family. If a son was born, we would become brothers, and if a daughter was born, we would become relatives. Do you want me to break the agreement?"
"It is precisely because of the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words that Mrs. Bai betrayed today." Mu Zhian killed people and hurt their hearts.
It is obvious that Bai Yuanfeng was forced to marry into the Bai family, so today's drama happened.
But it is really ironic to think about it. The person who was forced to marry is now forcing his daughter...Mu Zhian shook his head secretly.
At this time, Bai Ruoxi suddenly said, "Dad, I have broken off the engagement."
Father Bai's eyes widened slightly. For a moment, the vulgar old man seemed to burst out with extremely terrifying spiritual energy. He looked up at his daughter's clear face and said angrily, "You——"
Bai Ruoxi was not afraid at all. She looked at her father and said, "I don't like Ye Yu."
Facing his daughter's fearless eyes, Father Bai's aura slowly subsided and sighed:
"Although the boy from the Ye family is a waste now, I can see that he has the tenacity in him. His future achievements will not be too low."
As he said, he looked at his daughter deeply again.
Ruoxi might regret her decision today in the future.
"My daughter doesn't like that Ye Yu. It has nothing to do with his achievements. I just hate him." Bai Ruoxi said softly.
Some people just don't like him at first sight, so no matter how much he does, no matter how well he does, the woman will only feel disgusted and disgusted.
The more Ye Yu wants to be a licking dog, the more Bai Ruoxi hates him.
Most women don't like extremely humble suitors.
Looking at Bai Ruoxi's determined look, Bai's father sighed: "I won't ask about this matter. When I arranged a marriage with the Ye family without authorization, I really ignored your feelings when you grew up."
Then he looked at Mu Zhian and said: "Sorry to bother my nephew Mu. If my injury can heal as soon as possible, I will owe the Mu family a favor."
He knew that Mr. Ren of the Mu family was a famous doctor. With him, his injury might be cured in advance.
Not long after, an old man with gray beard and slightly old appearance came out of the door.
Bai's father nodded slightly and said: "Mr. Ren, I haven't seen you for a long time."
The old man just said "um" lightly and stretched out his hand to feel his pulse.
Mu Zhian stood aside and waited quietly.
After a while, the old man slowly opened his turbid eyes.
Under the gaze of several people, he slowly shook his head.
"After I go back, I will refine a medicinal elixir that can help him recover from his injuries within a month."
"But it is unlikely that he can recover in a short period of time."
Mu Zhian was inevitably disappointed when he heard this.
One month... After a month, the Bai family will probably be gone.
In addition, the competition with Ye Yu will be held in two days. The Gongsun family is wavering, and there are black-robed people watching covetously.
He originally wanted to ask Bai's father and the two spiritual cultivators of the Mu family to protect him secretly in case of unexpected events.
But looking at this situation, he can only think of another way.
At this time, the old man suddenly sighed again and said, "In fact, if there is a medicinal ingredient, let alone a month, I am afraid that Brother Bai can recover in one day."
Bai Ruoxi's eyes brightened, she raised her head to look at the old man and said, "Mr. Ren, what are the medicinal materials you are talking about? I can send someone to find them."
The old man shook his head: "The medicinal material is called Beast King Vine. It only grows in places where the immortal energy is lingering. This medicinal material is only found in the Liangyi Sect."
Liang Yi Sect...the hopes that a few people had just raised were suddenly poured down like a splash of cold water, and they all fell silent.
Saying this is the same as not saying it... Mu Zhian shook his head secretly.
Tianxuan City is hundreds of miles away from Liangyi Sect, not to mention that Liangyi Sect does not allow outsiders to enter, let alone enter to collect medicine.
After bidding farewell to Bai's father and returning to Mu's house, Mu Zhian ordered his maid to take Bai Ruoxi to the guest room to rest.
Today was a huge blow to Bai Ruoxi, and she needed to take a good rest.
Mu Zhian was also a little tired and was about to go back to his room.
When he passed the study, he paused slightly and turned to look.
It seems that there seems to be a faint white light flickering in the study.
Mu Zhian pushed open the study door. In the dark study, three paper cranes emitting a faint white light were parked quietly by the window. The paper cranes were filled with fairy spirit.
I have been so busy these two days that I almost forgot to reply to the letter... Only then did Mu Zhian remember this incident, walked into the study, lit the candle, and opened the first two paper cranes.
The first letter was just as usual, just complaining, wondering whether he should run away from home, hoping that Mu Zhian could give him some advice.
The second letter asked him if he was busy recently and why he didn't reply.
Obviously, after finding out that Mu Zhian didn't reply, the other party became anxious...
For someone to value "online dating" so much and even guard the paper crane every day is enough to imagine how boring the life of this paper crane owner is.
Mu Zhian opened the third paper crane. The letter was different from the previous one-sided complaints. It was mostly words of concern...
Mu Zhian smiled, feeling interesting in his heart.
He sat on a chair, picked up a brush, dipped some ink in it, and wrote down his longing for the owner of the paper crane on the letter paper.
But of course, he didn't write the content of the letter too disgustingly.
After doing all this, Mu Zhian folded the letter and gently threw it out of the window.
After the relationship becomes familiar, it's time to say something ambiguous.
Otherwise, it would be tragic if the other party regards you as a 'brother'.
"Speaking of which, where did this paper crane fly to...?"
Looking at the paper crane flying into the air, Mu Zhian's eyes moved slightly, and he came up with this idea.
He jumped out from the window and followed closely behind the paper crane.
But the flying speed of the paper crane was getting faster and faster. At first, Mu Zhian tried his best to catch up with the paper crane, but gradually he lost his strength and could only watch the paper crane slowly fly out of the sky. Xuancheng gradually flew towards the sky.
The Qi-training state was not yet able to fly with a sword, so Mu Zhian could only watch the paper crane gradually disappear from sight.
At this time, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
Mu Zhian turned around and saw the plump and voluptuous Wei Mengrou standing on the flying sword, saying softly: "Come up."
This cool beauty is wearing a goose-yellow dress with a thin ribbon tied around her waist, which outlines her voluptuous waist. She has a sexy figure with a curved front and back. Even wearing short boots, she is almost as tall as Mu Zhian.
Wei Mengrou had just been aware of Mu Zhian leaving the Mu Mansion, and had been secretly following behind him, and only now did she come to help.
Sure enough, Sister Mengrou was the most reliable in the end... Mu Zhian did not hesitate, stepped on the flying sword, and hugged Wei Mengrou's slender waist that could only be grasped with both hands, feeling the softness of her delicate body.
It's very soft and fragrant... Even if I don't catch the paper crane this time, I still make a lot of money.
Mu Zhi'an sighed deeply.
Wei Mengrou's body visibly stiffened, and she glanced at Mu Zhian coldly.
Mu Zhian explained: "I'm just afraid of accidentally falling off the flying sword."
Wei Mengrou said coldly: "If you make any move, I will really throw you down."
After saying that, she raised her fingertips, and the flying sword flew up like a swimming fish, turning into a stream of light and catching up with the paper crane that had already gradually moved away from the sight.
Time passed silently, and the only sound that could be heard was the howling wind.
Unknowingly, nearly two sticks of incense had passed, and Mu Zhian's attention successfully shifted from "Sister Mengrou's body is so soft, fragrant, and really big" to the paper crane in front of her that was dancing like a butterfly.
He felt more and more that something was not right.
I originally thought that the paper crane should be written by a young lady from Tianxuan City or a neighboring city... But now it seems that the owner of the paper crane is not from Tianxuan City or even a neighboring city, but from the outside world?
Just when Mu Zhian thought about this, he suddenly felt a white mist swirling in front of his eyes, and abundant spiritual energy permeated the air. Just taking a deep breath made people feel relaxed and happy.
But before Mu Zhian had time to enjoy this aura, he vaguely saw several faintly visible peaks ahead.
Looking up slightly, the paper crane flew towards a certain mountain peak, instigating its paper wings.
After Mu Zhian was silent for a long time, he whispered to himself:
"This paper crane actually comes from the Liangyi Sect?"
