So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

After Bai Ruoxi woke up, Mu Zhian had already let go of Ye Lingxuan's hand, and his eyes fell on Bai Ruoxi.

Her dress had long since changed back to the original pure white palace skirt, with beautiful plum blossoms printed on it. Even the palace skirt could hardly cover her proud chest, and her beautiful eyes seemed to reveal a little pitiful moisture.

Sure enough, she was a different type of beauty from the Sword Palace Master... Even though it was not the first time he saw Bai Ruoxi, Mu Zhian couldn't help but sigh at this time.

"Ruoxi, is the inheritance of the Sword Palace over?" Mu Zhian asked.

Bai Ruoxi said "um" softly, and said softly: "The inheritance is over, but it may take some time to master that first-grade technique."

When she said this, she looked at Mu Zhian with a little more tenderness.

Thinking carefully, from Tianxuan City to now, almost everything she had was given by Mu Zhian. This man helped her without asking for anything in return, and even encountered danger and trouble several times.

And now, I have finally gained the strength to protect him.

Bai Ruoxi came to Mu Zhian with a graceful step, raised her eyes, and said softly: "I have caused you a lot of trouble in the past. From now on, let me protect you."

If Ye Lingxuan was not present, Mu Zhian would have to pull Bai Ruoxi to the Sword Palace for a good intimate time. However, he is a self-cultivated fish pond owner. At this time, he naturally maintained a reserved and gentle smile and said: "There is no need to say such polite words between you and me, Ruoxi."

"Let's leave the Sword Palace first. After leaving the sect for so long, the heads will be worried."

If it were an ordinary disciple, it would be fine, but both Mu Zhian and Bai Ruoxi were people that the heads valued, and Mu Zhian had just had an accident before. If he left for too long, it would inevitably make the female heads who cared about the disciples worry.

Bai Ruoxi nodded gently, and then his eyes fell on Ye Lingxuan, and he said softly: "Sorry, sister Lingxuan, I have caused you a lot of trouble this time."

Ye Lingxuan shook her head and smiled: "The one who made the decision without authorization is the palace master, not sister Ruoxi, so you don't have to apologize to me."

Bai Ruoxi smiled slightly and said nothing more.

The relationship between the two is very subtle now. First of all, Ye Lingxuan knows what the relationship between Bai Ruoxi and Mu Zhian is. After all, Bai Ruoxi has exposed his cards once in the past and called Mu Zhian "Mu Lang".

But Bai Ruoxi has always been in a vague state about the relationship between Mu Zhian and this sister Lingxuan.

The reason is that when Mu Zhian was sleeping in bed with Naixi in the past, he occasionally mentioned Ye Lingxuan, and the sentence he said most was: She is just my sister.

A beautiful and pure sister like Ye Lingxuan, let alone Mu Zhian, many people in the sect like her.

Because of this, Bai Ruoxi can vaguely guess the relationship between the two, but he is not sure.

During this period, Mu Lang was busy everywhere because of something, and it seemed that he hadn't communicated with him properly for a while... Bai Ruoxi gazed at Mu Zhian with gentle eyes, and his mind gradually became active.

Maybe tonight he should use the heart lock to ask him what he thinks about Sister Lingxuan and the senior Qingdi...

"What's wrong, Ruoxi?" Mu Zhian noticed Bai Ruoxi's gentle eyes and turned back subconsciously to ask.

"Nothing."

Bai Ruoxi shook his head gently and looked at Wei Mengrou who was in a 'hidden' state beside Mu Zhian.

"Let's go back first and talk slowly."

Mu Zhian nodded slightly, and then planned to leave with the two of them.

Before leaving, he used his spiritual sense to scan the Sword Palace again, wanting to confirm whether there was anything he missed.

The Sword Palace Master gave him the permission. Mu Zhian, who mastered the formation of the Sword Palace, could naturally easily perceive the things in the Sword Palace.

After confirming that nothing was missed, Mu Zhian was about to withdraw his spiritual consciousness.

However, at this moment, he suddenly froze for a moment, and his spiritual consciousness repeatedly scanned a cave on a certain mountain peak, and then there was a bit of strangeness in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ruoxi was the first to notice the strangeness in Mu Zhian's eyes, and couldn't help asking.

"You may have to go back first, I will come back to find you later." Mu Zhian said.

"Brother Mu, do you have anything else?" Ye Lingxuan looked at Mu Zhian with doubts in her eyes.

"The Saint of Yao Chi is trapped in a cave in the Sword Palace. I need to change the operation mode of the formation to release her." Mu Zhian said.

When he just used his spiritual consciousness to scan the Sword Palace, he realized that the fairy Yao Yue had used some method to enter a forbidden cave in the Sword Palace. He didn't know what the Saint of Yao Chi got in there, but now she must be trapped in that cave.

The caves in the Sword Palace are complicated. If he doesn't help, by the time the Saintess of Yaochi solves the formation, the Ascension Conference may have ended.

After informing Bai Ruoxi and the others, Mu Zhian flew to a cave in the south of the Sword Palace.

The cave in the south is a hall that looks extremely ancient, with unknown bright flowers blooming on both sides. Two brilliant golden lightsabers are half-suspended on both sides of the hall.

The huge door of the hall was closed. Mu Zhian raised his hand and tried a little, but found that he couldn't push the door open with brute force alone.

He closed his eyes slightly, searching for the formations and cracking methods of this cave in his mind.

"The Yaochi Saint's formation talent seems to be extremely high. She actually found a way to solve such a complicated formation on her own..." As the formations about this hall emerged in his mind, Mu Zhian's heart I couldn't help but sigh a little more.

Even if he knew the composition method of this formation, it might take more than an hour to unravel it. As a result, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi relied on her talent in formation to unlock the secret of this cave and obtained the treasure inside. .

But she probably didn't expect that after entering the hall, the formation that was originally unlocked would be re-sealed, so that she was trapped in it.

No wonder I didn’t see the Yaochi Saint in the Sword Palace at that time. It turned out that she was trapped here...

After nearly two hours, Mu Zhian opened his eyes and raised his hand to touch the lightsaber on the right side of the hall.

At the same time, he raised his hand to seal the secret, and injected spiritual energy into the lightsaber on the left, changing the way the formation operated.

Wow...

The heavy ancient palace door slowly opened, and in the dim hall, the figure of the Yaochi Saint came into view.

Yao Yue raised her head almost at the same time. When she saw Mu Zhian, she was obviously stunned, as if she did not expect to meet Mu Zhian on such an occasion.

"Fairy Yao Yue, long time no see." Mu Zhian smiled.

"Mr. Mu, why are you here...?" Saintess Yaochi's small red lips parted slightly, seeming a little surprised.

Even in the dim light, her snow-white skin still showed a crystal luster, and the mist shrouded her immortal body. Her voice was pleasant, like the spring breeze blowing on her face, and it had a magical power that could calm people no matter how anxious they were.

"Come out first and then talk, lest the formation will seal itself again later." Mu Zhian said with a smile.

The Saint of Yaochi finally came to her senses and walked out of the hall like a butterfly.

Boom.

The huge door of the main hall closed again silently, as if no one had ever set foot inside.

The Yaochi Saint's eyes flashed slightly, and she thanked her sincerely: "Thank you so much, Mr. Mu, for saving me this time, otherwise Yao Yue might have missed the Immortal Ascension Conference this time."

"There is no need to say thank you between the fairy and me." Mu Zhian shook his head.

This seems a bit ambiguous, but it doesn't make anyone feel inappropriate.

Because the relationship between Mu Zhian and Qing Emperor is quite special, and the senior officials of Yaochi Holy Land are aware of this matter, Yao Yue will naturally not feel any sense of violation at this moment.

"Why is Mr. Mu here? Could it be that he is also here to find immortality?" the Yaochi Saint couldn't help but ask.

Since then, her growth rate has exceeded Mu Zhian's expectations. Although she has not been blessed by the natural furnace, her voice contains a more powerful Taoist charm than when they first met, and it is beautiful and beautiful.

And the mist on her body lingered in front of the immortal body, making it difficult for even Mu Zhian, who was born with a spiritual body, to judge what state the other party was in.

The speed of this fairy's progress is no less than that of Ruoxi. There may be a second Hedao-level empress in Yaochi in the future... Mu Zhi'an sighed inwardly, then smiled and said: "I was planning to leave just now. At that time, I suddenly felt that the fairy was here, so I stopped by to take a look. Unexpectedly, I actually met him by chance. "

"If you think about it carefully, maybe this is also a kind of fate."

The Saint of Yaochi obviously didn't believe in the so-called 'accidental encounter'. She smiled reservedly: "Since Mr. Mu refuses to talk about it, let it go. Yao Yue will keep this kindness in mind. If Mr. Mu needs help with anything in the future, I will We will also do our best to help.”

Although this fairy has never been in love, she is not the kind of 'love brain'. If she is a girl like Lin Keyu who is inexperienced in the world, she may really believe Mu Zhian's words.

Mu Zhian didn't care, and said with a smile: "You should leave this place as soon as possible. After that, the Sword Palace will seal itself for a period of time, and outsiders will no longer be able to set foot in it."

The reappearance of the Sword Palace is one of the plans of the master of the Sword Palace. Collecting two bronze fragments will awaken the Sword Palace.

But now that Bai Ruoxi's 'scabbard' has been inherited by the Sword Palace, the Sword Palace will no longer let outsiders set foot in it for the time being.

The Saint of Yaochi nodded first, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Mr. Mu, how is Senior Qingdi doing now? The elders of our clan want to ask her to return to take charge of the power."

"She is still sleeping in my cauldron. I will explain this to her later." Mu Zhian said.

That said, but judging from Yao Meng's previous performances, it seems that she has no interest in taking charge, otherwise she would not leave the Yaochi Holy Land.

After the two chatted for a while, Mu Zhian planned to say goodbye to the fairy.

"Does Mr. Mu also plan to participate in this Immortal Ascension Conference?" Saintess Yaochi asked.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Let's just try it out, but I don't have much idea about the first place. After all, there are so many geniuses this time, and I don't like competing with others."

"It will be considered a success if we can reach the top sixteen in the Ascension Conference." Mu Zhian set a small goal for himself.

"Mr. Mu is very talented, so there is no need to be discouraged. After all, you have just joined the sect less than half a year ago. You will surely amaze everyone in the future." Saintess Yaochi comforted her.

"Thank you." Mu Zhian smiled calmly.

"Right."

As if remembering something, Mu Zhian took out an Aurora Crystal from the ring and handed it to the Saint of Yaochi.

"Before, I saw that Fairy Yao Yue seemed to be somewhat interested in the Aurora Crystal. If you don't mind, I'll give this to you."

The Saint of Yaochi visibly hesitated.

As the Saint of Yaochi Holy Land, it would not be too much to say that the people who pursued her would line up from Yaochi Holy Land to Tianxuan City. Naturally, there were also many people who gave her gifts in the past. However, in order to distance herself from them, Yao Yue naturally never accepted gifts from others.

However, Mu Zhian... was a little special.

Even if we don't look at the relationship with the Green Emperor, Mu Zhian had a life-and-death friendship with her in Yaochi Holy Land in the past.

Moreover, he seemed to be a junior brother that Lan Murian valued very much...

As one of Lan Murian's few "good girlfriends", even if she put aside the matter of the Green Emperor, the Saint of Yaochi still had a good impression of Mu Zhian himself.

"If the fairy thinks it's inappropriate, wait until the necklace or other accessories are made with the Aurora Crystal, and if there are any left, just give me another one." Mu Zhian continued.

The Saint of Yaochi raised her eyes and saw Mu Zhian's sincere smile.

After staring for a while, she smiled, like a warm breeze blowing into her heart, graceful and moving.

"Well, then it's a deal."

...

Xuanyin Palace.

Lin Keyu embraced an Aurora crystal that was shining with a charming halo, and after returning to her boudoir, she placed the Aurora crystal, which was about the size of a teacup, on the table.

After staring for a while, she supported her cheeks with both hands and looked at the Aurora crystal, as if in a daze.

As if she recalled something interesting, a slight arc appeared at the corner of her lips.

"Miss, what happened? Why are you so happy?" The maid beside her couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lin Keyu uttered a small exclamation, and then when she looked back and saw the maid behind her, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief and glared at the maid: "You scared me to death, Rou'er, when did you come into the room?"

"I called you several times when I came in just now, but you seemed to be in a daze and didn't hear it." When the maid said this, she looked curiously at the special spiritual stone on Lin Keyu's table.

"Aurora Crystal...? When did the lady buy it?"

"Someone gave it to me." Lin Keyu said.

The maid narrowed her eyes slightly and made a sound of "eh".

Her intuition told her that there must be something strange about this matter.

Lin Keyu's pretty face blushed, and then she coughed lightly and said: "By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The maid then reacted and said: "Oh, by the way, the master seems to have something to tell you, so he asked me to come to you."

Lin Keyu nodded gently.

Then, she handed the Aurora Crystal to the maid and said, "I'll have someone make two necklaces out of this, and have him add two Black Frost Stones as embellishments. I'll have other uses for it later."

"Black Frost Stone? If I remember correctly, its value is no less than that of the Aurora Crystal, and it can be made into two necklaces...? Miss, are you planning to give it to someone?" The maid asked curiously.

Black Frost Stone, unlike the Aurora Crystal, can be made into rings or necklaces and bracelets, and can give a certain "calming" effect when the monk is "charmed" or anxious.

However, the difficulty of obtaining Black Frost Stone is no less than that of the Aurora Crystal, and it can only be produced in the area where the Xuanyin Palace is located, and it is usually not possible to find a few in decades.

Of course, the Xuanyin Palace has existed in Dongzhou for so long and has a deep foundation, so there are still some stocks.

If the daughter of the Xuanyin Palace asks for two pieces of Black Frost Stone, there is naturally no problem.

However, the word ‘two necklaces’ made people a little concerned…

“I was saved by someone in the Sword Palace before, and I just wanted to thank him a little.” Lin Keyu said reservedly.

The maid looked at Lin Keyu meaningfully, and then smiled slightly: “I know, I will ask someone to prepare it now. Miss, do you have anything to say to that person? Then you can hide those words in the Aurora Crystal. After he receives the necklace, he will also be able to hear those words.”

Lin Keyu hesitated for a moment and said: “I will think about it when the necklace is finished.”

“Then I will ask someone to prepare it first, Miss.” After the maid finished speaking, she bowed slightly, and then turned around and left the room with the Aurora Crystal.

After a while, Lin Keyu patted her face gently, stood up and walked towards the direction of the hall.

Although she rarely left the Xuanyin Hall in the past, she was also interested in the Ascension Conference of the Liangyi Sect.

Occasionally, we should go out and see the world a little, right?

It was also a good opportunity to give him the "thank you gift".

...

Liangyi Sect.

Unlike the previous few days, when flying back to the sect on his sword, Mu Zhian seemed to see a lot of unfamiliar faces. In addition to the disciples of the sect, some people's clothes were somewhat different from those in Dongzhou.

Compared with the Liangyi Sect in the past, during the period of the Ascension Conference, the Liangyi Sect was obviously much more lively.

This is not surprising. With the Ascension Conference approaching, some forces outside Jiuzhou naturally arrived at the Liangyi Sect smoothly at this time.

Mu Zhian flew all the way on his sword, casually glancing at the monks who occasionally flew in the air.

At this time, he saw two monks wearing cloud-embroidered robes flying by. The woman was wearing a sea-blue jacket, a white double-breasted small coat, and a fluffy Luo skirt. Her temperament was quite charming.

And beside her, there was another young man, who was dignified and restrained. Just at the first sight, people dared not despise him.

"If I remember correctly, this should be someone from the World Sea..." Mu Zhian said to himself.

The Sea of ​​​​World, backed by the Liangyi Sect, is a huge sea area. It is basically impossible for monks to cross the Sea of ​​​​World and reach Beizhou.

Even if you take a spaceship, you will have to drift on the sea for nearly more than a month to arrive.

It seems that the three emperor-level medicinal herbs are indeed very attractive, and even forces from the world sea, which has always been indifferent to the world, have intervened.

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with him. Compared with this, he is still more concerned about sister Lingxuan...

The Immortal Ascension Conference is about to begin, and her inheritance is not over yet. I have to find time to visit her tonight.

Mu Zhian Yujian returned to Tianhe Garden. After pushing open the maid's room, he happened to see Wei Mengrou who was about to enter a meditative state.

"What's the matter?" Wei Mengrou looked up at her young master, her cold eyes filled with doubts.

"I need your help with something."

Under Wei Mengrou's confused gaze, Mu Zhian whispered something.

…

night.

Dexin Court.

After Ye Lingxuan meditated all afternoon, she left the room and planned to relax a little.

However, as soon as he went out, he saw two slightly familiar figures.

It was her tribemate in the restricted area, Ye Siyu.

Sitting next to Ye Siyu was Ye Qian, who was wearing a skirt and was pure and charming.

After all this time, the aura on Ye Qian's body was obviously much deeper than before, and she was talking to Ye Siyu about something at this time.

"Sister Siyu, why are you here too?" Ye Lingxuan asked in surprise.

Ye Qian subconsciously raised his head and looked up, then showed a charming smile: "Sister, are you done meditating?"

Ye Lingxuan smiled and nodded, and came to her sister's side.

"Ye Qian and I just arrived today. We originally wanted to find you during the day, but I didn't expect you to leave the sect." Ye Siyu looked at the sister's daughter with a smile on his face.

After looking up and down for a few times, he couldn't help but admired sincerely: "Your aura seems to be much stronger than before."

"Sister Siyu is much stronger now than before." Ye Lingxuan said.

Today's Ye Siyu is much stronger than before in terms of temperament and restrained aura. This is the benefit brought by being passed down in the ancestral land of the restricted area.

"Compared to sister Lingxuan, she is still far behind." Ye Siyu glanced at Ye Lingxuan casually, and then said intentionally or unintentionally:

"Ye Qian also came here this time. It seems to be about the Immortal Ascension Conference and your affairs."

"oh."

Ye Lingxuan responded coldly, obviously not interested in the talented young man in the clan. She changed the topic: "Since Sister Siyu is here, why don't we stay here temporarily for the next few days? Tomorrow I will I’ll take you to visit the sect.”

Ye Siyu rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll bother you for a few days."

"By the way, where is your little boyfriend? I will find time to visit him tomorrow." Ye Siyu continued.

"..."

Ye Lingxuan's indifferent expression no longer existed, as if her power had been broken in a second.

She glanced at Ye Qian next to her in panic, and after seeing that Ye Qian's expression didn't change much, she said angrily: "What is Sister Siyu talking about!"

After saying that, he continued: "It's getting late today, so it's better to go back and rest early."

Ye Siyu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and gave Ye Lingxuan a meaningful look. It was obvious that she had learned something about Mu Zhian while chatting with Ye Qian just now.

"I don't know if Brother Mu is back. I haven't seen him for a long time." Ye Qian's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Even if he comes back, he is probably still with sister Ruoxi now."

Ye Lingxuan snorted softly, remembering the scene not long ago when Mu Zhian's eyes were attracted to Bai Ruoxi's breasts after Bai Ruoxi woke up, and her mood suddenly dropped a lot.

In terms of beauty and talent, Ye Lingxuan is naturally not inferior to Bai Ruoxi. However, she is still young, so her development is naturally not as exaggerated as Miss Bai.

Although she never said it, Ye Lingxuan was actually a little disappointed.

However, she didn't show it. After chatting with Ye Siyu and her sister in front of the courtyard for a while, she said goodbye to them and returned to her boudoir.

After lighting the candles on the table, the girl came to the bedside, sat in front of the dressing mirror, and looked at herself in the mirror.

What appeared in the mirror was a delicate face wearing a light purple dress that looked almost flawless.

The sixteen-year-old girl picked up a piece of lipstick on the table and took a bite. Her attractive lips suddenly gained a layer of elastic redness.

Scattered sideburns fall down to her delicate face. Her eyes are large and energetic, her lips are small and red, and her facial features are exquisite and three-dimensional, pure and pleasant.

However, even so, there is still a big gap between Bai Ruoxi's 'maturity'.

Obviously, Mu Zhian likes mature ladies, which Ye Lingxuan can see from Mu Zhian's past performances.

But even if Ye Lingxuan tries to dress up, her temperament is a little mature, but in some aspects, she is still in the developmental stage...

Not even as good as Qianer...

Ye Lingxuan sighed quietly, and her slender jade-like legs were slightly brought together. Recalling everything that happened today, she took a shallow breath and exhaled it slowly.

After clearing all her thoughts, she stood up and stretched lazily, just about to sit in front of the bed to practice meditation.

At this time, as if she had noticed something, Ye Lingxuan turned her head slightly, staring at a certain direction in the corner of the desk, and shouted softly: "Who is there?!"

The black shadow obviously didn't expect to be noticed by Ye Lingxuan so quickly. He moved slightly and was about to leave the room quietly.

However, at this time, the Chain of Desolate Time in Ye Lingxuan's sleeves rushed out violently, swept towards the "black shadow" in the corner, and directly bound it.

"I didn't expect that there would be a thief in the sect. What are you doing hiding in my room?"

Ye Lingxuan looked down at the black shadow whose movements were restricted by the Chain of Desolate Time, with a cold look in her eyes.

There was a layer of concealment on the other party's body, so that people couldn't see the face of the black shadow clearly, but sneaking into a girl's boudoir in the middle of the night, it was obvious that he was not planning to do anything good.

"If you refuse to release it, then I can only send you to the Law Enforcement Hall." Ye Lingxuan said coldly.

She raised her hand and made a gesture, and the restraint of the Desolate Time Lock became tighter.

While the ancient aura of the Desolate Time Lock was overflowing from the room, Ye Siyu, who was not far away outside, seemed to have noticed the movement here. When passing by Ye Lingxuan's boudoir, she immediately asked: "Sister Lingxuan, what happened?"

Ye Lingxuan glanced at the black shadow and was about to speak.

At this time, the concealment of the black shadow was quietly untied, and the face revealed under the black shadow made Ye Lingxuan stunned for a moment.

Then, she stammered: "No, nothing..."

Looking at the boy who was so close, and his eyes that were gently staring at her under the candlelight, Ye Lingxuan subconsciously retracted her gaze.

"Sister Siyu, go to bed early... I also want to rest."
