So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

At night, Mu Zhian sat in front of the study, the candlelight lit up warmly, and outside the window was a slightly lonely backyard. When the night wind blew, the leaves rustled.

Wei Mengrou, wearing a goose yellow dress, stood at the gate of the yard. After asking the servants to prepare the carriage, she turned her head to look at Bai Ruoxi and whispered something.

Then she and Bai Ruoxi took the carriage and left the Mu family together, escorting Bai Ruoxi to the secret hut where Bai's father lived.

Mu Zhian turned the brush in his hand, tapped the table with his knuckles, shook his head gently, and sighed:

"No, it's still not safe."

Although he had just written a letter to Lan Murian, who was in Liangyi Sect, seeking her help, it was already night from the daytime.

It stands to reason that even if Lan Murian refused, she should have replied.

Is it because she is still considering it, or does she not want to pay attention to herself?

Or has she already agreed by default and is now on the way to Tianxuan City?

If Lan Murian didn't come, he could only make an exception and ask the elders who were in seclusion for cultivation.

But unless it was absolutely necessary, Mu Zhian didn't want to ask the elders to help.

First, this incident could be regarded as a test of him by the elders. Second... even if his father came, he might not be able to ask those elders, let alone a junior like him?

After thinking for a while, Mu Zhian took out another paper crane from the drawer.

According to what Mu Zhian knew, this paper crane seemed to be one of Lan Murian's magic weapons. Unlike ordinary paper cranes, it flew faster and could fly farther.

The most important thing was that this paper crane could fly into Liangyi Sect without being blocked.

This was the paper crane Lan Murian sent before, but he forgot to reply in those two days, so this time he just used the back to write to her again.

The best situation is to persuade Lan Mulian to go down the mountain, but if the senior sister refuses to go down the mountain, then we can only find other safe ways...

Mu Zhian thought while dipping his ink and wrote another "persuasion letter" on the letter paper, adding some ambiguous teasing words.

Teasing is not necessary, but appropriate teasing can enhance the relationship between the two parties.

Lan Mulian is obviously a cold beauty who is not good at taking the initiative. If he doesn't take the initiative, there will never be any result between the two parties.

Appropriate teasing can also ease the embarrassment between each other.

Of course, this trick only applies to those who are good at talking. Forced teasing will only make the woman feel awkward.

After writing the letter, Mu Zhian folded the letter paper into a paper crane and threw it out of the window.

He looked up at the paper crane flying out of the air and slowly exhaled.

He has done everything he can on his side. Next, he can only wait for the news over there.

...

Liangyi Sect.

Lan Mulian, wearing a white dress and with a cool temperament, was sitting in front of the pavilion. This was the back mountain of Liangyi Peak. The mountain was steep, and the peak was shrouded in clouds and mist, with rich spiritual energy.

Her face was covered with a veil, and the lapels on her chest could not hide her huge heart, and a touch of snow-white could be vaguely seen. Holding a letter in her hand, a pair of smart and beautiful eyes scanned the contents of the letter, and a ripple appeared in her calm eyes.

This should be the paper crane sent by Mu Zhian during the day. The letter roughly introduced what happened to him recently, and then casually mentioned the existence of the "black robe man" and the threat to the people, and then talked about some characteristics and delicacies of Tianxuan City.

As for the content, it was basically that Mu Zhian tried his best to invite her to the Mu family as a guest, and by the way, he gave her the Huiyuan Pill he had refined.

It is not difficult to see his sincerity just from the tone of the boy in the letter.

However... although there were a lot of good words in the letter, Lan Mulian still grasped the key points.

"After all, isn't it just that he wants me to help him when necessary? Why is he saying it so nicely?"

Lan Mulian saw Mu Zhian's purpose at a glance. She folded the paper crane and put it into her ring.

Then she stood up and left the back mountain.

Sometimes it's like this. Even if you know that the good words the other person said are not completely true, you will still feel happy and have a good impression of the other person.

Lan Mulian knew that Mu Zhian's words were suspected of "brush up the favorability", but she still had a little more good impression of him.

When passing a certain peak, there happened to be a sect disciple in the distance. When she looked up and saw Lan Mulian, her eyes suddenly became more yearning.

Not only the male disciples of the sect, but most of the female disciples also respect the secluded disciple of the sect master.

On the one hand, it is because of her identity and enchanting talent. On the other hand, although this senior sister Lan looks cold and difficult to approach, she is actually quite kind.

If the sect disciples encounter some headaches on weekdays, she will occasionally come forward to solve them.

However, most of the disciples have never seen Lan Murian's true appearance.

"Sister, are you going down the mountain?"

Lan Murian paused for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "There are demons at the foot of the mountain, I'm going down the mountain."

In the letter just now, Mu Zhian mentioned the black-robed man and his characteristics... Although it is not certain that he is a demon, judging from what Mu Zhian said at the time, the identity of the black-robed man is very likely to be an evil cultivator.

"Demons..."

The female disciple repeated it in her mouth, and couldn't help but secretly glanced at the slender woman in white.

All the disciples in the sect knew that this Senior Sister Lan rarely went down the mountain, and even if there were demons, there would be other disciples to deal with it... It was really a bit suspicious.

At this time, Lan Mulian suddenly shook her head again, and under the gauze, her elastic cherry lips pursed slightly, and a faint arc was outlined at the corner of her mouth.

"Maybe it should be more appropriate to call it running away from home."

Mu Zhian didn't know that even without his invitation, she would still find a time to go to Tianxuan City.

It was not for the so-called running away from home, but just to see her sister and chat with her.

The original plan was to go down the mountain in two months, but since Mu Zhian had already invited me... it would be good to take this opportunity to go down the mountain.

Lan Mulian pinched the formula to pick up a cloud and left on the cloud.

When Lan Murian left Liangyi Sect, she obviously didn't notice that at night, a paper crane quietly flew into Liangyi Sect while she was going down the mountain. It flew across the high peaks and slowly flew towards the back mountain pavilion.

The paper crane finally landed on a black and white chessboard.

The beautiful woman in a black dress paused in her move.

She picked up the paper crane with her slender hands, and her eyes were confused at first.

Then, a faint smile appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she slowly unwrapped the paper crane.
