So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Two days later.

Mu Zhian and Lin Ling returned to the land of the Blue Tribe in a carriage. They could see the landforms of Dongzhou by opening the curtains and looking down.

There was a strong smell of medicine floating in the air, and even unknown cranes spread their wings and flew proudly, following them all the way.

Lin Ling lay in front of the carriage, her red starry eyes shining, staring straight at the cranes outside, as if thinking about something.

Mu Zhian turned his head and looked at her twice more.

She didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong with her action, but from Mu Zhian's perspective, she could see two completely different scenes.

The white dress embroidered with cloud patterns wrapped her graceful and tight figure, her hips pressed on the soft couch, her silver hair naturally scattered, and her red eyes reflected the figures of the cranes outside, looking like a girl who was ignorant of the world.

Oh... If I have to say, she is indeed an innocent girl.

Although her life span may be similar to that of the Green Emperor, her mind is still that of a young girl.

Mu Zhian took a look at the cranes that followed them outside, and silently complained in his heart: Fortunately, Sister Lin Ling had a full meal before leaving today, otherwise you might have to go to the pot today.

Lin Ling has a huge innate luck, which will attract the love of all living things.

These cranes followed her all the way because of this.

But they didn't know that the hostess in the carriage was not admiring their appearance at this moment, but was thinking about whether to start the pot and heat the oil to roast the crane meat...

"She obviously has the strongest and most violent power, but she is as innocent as a little girl." Mu Zhian looked at the silver-haired beauty lying in front of the window and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

But it is probably because of her innocent heart that she can practice without distraction and advance to the Hedao realm so quickly.

"Aaa?"

She noticed the gaze of the young man behind her, turned her head to look at him, and made a confused sound.

"It's okay, you continue to enjoy your scenery, don't worry about me." Mu Zhian waved his hand.

Lin Ling thought for a moment and raised the notebook: "There are many delicious ingredients outside, more than in the sect."

You counted those cranes as ingredients... Mu Zhian looked at her soft face, met her eyes, was silent for a moment, and said: "You can speak but can't speak casually because of the Word Spirit Technique. Do you feel sad?"

Lin Ling shook her head: "I'm used to it."

"It's a lucky thing that I was born. She often told me not to complain about myself."

"If you hadn't persisted until today, you wouldn't be able to take me to the outside world, right?"

Mu Zhian tilted his head and thought that it seemed to be true. If Lin Ling hadn't been suppressing the fire in the cave in the past, he would have no chance to meet her at all, let alone take her out to play like these days.

But he thought about it, if he were Lin Ling, could he really persist for so long like her, suppressing the karmic fire in the cave day and night, and never see the light of day?

"Sister Lin Ling is really amazing." After a long time, Mu Zhian sighed softly, "If it were me, I think I would go crazy."

Staying in that gloomy and cold cave for years to suppress the karmic fire, not even knowing what Dongzhou looks like... Even if she is in the Hedao realm, what can she do? She is just a girl who has power but cannot use it at will.

Lin Ling's expression was calm, and she shook her head gently: "Compared to her, I am nothing."

"She?"

Mu Zhian's mind moved slightly, as if he guessed something: "Sister Sect Master? What's wrong with her?"

Lin Ling seemed to realize something, covered her mouth, blinked, and shook her head gently.

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "Forget it if you can't say it, don't force yourself."

"Sorry, but I promised her before not to tell anyone about her." Lin Ling raised the small notebook and looked at Mu Zhian guiltily.

The spring breeze blew through the curtains of the carriage, and the lapels fluttered with the wind, revealing the round shoulders. The white skin seemed to have no friction, and the full chest made the white clothes bulge, and the ravines were unfathomable.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Sister Lin Ling, has anyone told you before that you can't just apologize verbally when you apologize?"

Lin Ling made a puzzled sound "Aaa".

"Then what should I do?"

"You have to call me Mu Lang." Mu Zhian teased seriously.

Seeing Lin Ling's hesitation, Mu Zhian persuaded her, took her hand and pulled her into his arms, saying: "We are Taoist couples now, and it is normal for Taoist couples to call each other like this."

Looking at the silver-haired beauty in his arms who refused to give in, Mu Zhian suddenly let her go.

"If you don't shout, I will ignore you."

Lin Ling was stunned for a moment, then gently tugged at the corner of Mu Zhian's clothes with her little hand: "Aaa."

Mu Zhian never said a word, turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, and counted down silently in his heart.

When the countdown reached "3", he finally heard a very small and crisp voice coming from beside him: "...Mu Lang."

Seeing Mu Zhian's happy expression, Lin Ling raised the little notebook: "Does calling you like this make you excited?"

She could feel that Mu Zhian was extremely happy physically and mentally at the moment.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and smiled: "If I hear Sister Lin Ling call me like this when I'm in a bad mood, I think all the unhappiness will be swept away."

"Aaa."

Lin Ling's innocent and pretty face showed a trace of thoughtfulness.

At this time, Mu Zhian suddenly asked casually: "You have been out with me for several days. Isn't the sect leader sister worried?"

"She knows that nothing will happen to me."

Hearing Lin Ling's answer, Mu Zhian was surprised at first, but then he realized it quickly.

Lin Ling was born to be favored by the Great Dao. Anyone could get into trouble, but not her.

Even people with great luck can't die easily, let alone a spiritual dragon who is born with luck and symbolizes luck.

"If that's the case, the only possibility that Sister Lin Ling might get into trouble is that she will be burned by the fire of karma?"

Mu Zhian said thoughtfully: "But I can suppress the fire of karma, so there is no need to worry about this possibility."

Of course, the premise is that he will continue to suppress the fire of karma for Lin Ling until the fire of karma that has lasted for ten thousand years completely disappears.

"But you said before that you transferred the bad luck of the sect master's sister to yourself, so you were corroded by the fire of karma... Why did you transfer her bad luck to yourself for no reason?"

"Is it because the bad luck of the sect master's sister broke out recently, so you had to speak?"

Mu Zhian was talking, but found that Lin Ling had never said anything. He immediately understood and touched her hair with a smile: "I know, I won't ask you about her."

Lin Ling's eyebrows relaxed, and she reached out to hold Mu Zhian's head and gently pressed his face into her arms.

"Are our roles reversed..." Mu Zhian couldn't help but complain.

But soon, he was immersed in Lin Ling's soft heart, slightly closed his eyes, as if enjoying this simple warmth.

After a while, Mu Zhian ran a hand along her back, passed over her waist, gently embraced the soft body of the silver-haired beauty, and suddenly said: "By the way, can the word spirit technique even rewrite a person's physiological state?"

"There are still limitations." Lin Ling shook her head.

"When I kissed you before, I seemed to feel that your spiritual energy would flow into my natural furnace... If it's not through kissing, but through other means, would it be possible as well?" Mu Zhian muttered, looking at the full and upright heart of the silver-haired beauty.

For example, relying on the word spirit technique to temporarily change Lin Ling's physical state or something like that...

"Aaa?" Lin Ling's red starry eyes were full of doubts.

"Nothing, don't worry about it."

Mu Zhian quickly smiled and shook his head, took out a butter paper tape from the ring and handed it to her.

The aroma of hot snacks wafted out of the butter paper tape, and Lin Ling's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.

"Eat it, I prepared it for you in advance this morning." Mu Zhian smiled.

"Aaa?"

"It's okay, I'm not hungry."

After Mu Zhian finished speaking, he looked at the silver-haired beauty who was eating snacks, and suddenly said: "It's a pity that this world doesn't know if there is coconut milk. If it is paired with this kind of drink, the food will be more delicious."

The hair on Lin Ling's head stood up like a radar, and she raised her head: "Aaa (What is that?)"

Mu Zhian glanced at the meat bun in her hand, and then glanced at her humble and plump chest, leaned over the silver-haired beauty's ear, and whispered something.

Lin Ling's red eyes changed from bewilderment to surprise. Her beautiful face flushed instantly. She glanced at him faintly and raised her notebook: "I hate bad kids!"

Mu Zhian reached out and fed the half-remaining meat bun in her hand into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Let's do a little experiment after this. As long as it doesn't involve cause and effect, the word spirit won't cause the fire of karma to burn itself, right?"

"Sister Lin Ling, don't you want to try it? It will be more pleasant than the previous few days."

Lin Ling raised her watery eyes and glanced at him. After a long time, she blushed and nodded gently.

...

Outside the Blue Clan Hall.

After a day and a night of travel, the carriage that Mu Zhian was riding finally arrived at the Blue Clan.

Lin Ling held her cheeks with her hands, swung her feet and looked at the scenery outside. She seemed to have completely forgotten Mu Zhian's previous request and immersed herself in the wonderful world outside.

When the carriage arrived outside the Blue Clan Hall, Mu Zhian was the first to get off the carriage.

"I thought my junior brother had already returned to the sect."

A noble and elegant cold voice came from behind.

Lan Mulian.

Mu Zhian turned his head and saw that the charming beauty in a fiery red dress and the cold sister were standing not far from the door of the hall.

The natural spirit body quickly captured the beauty in the yellow dress standing in the corner.

"Sorry, Sister Lin Ling came to the Blue Clan a few days ago, so I took her to Tianxuan City to relax." Mu Zhian smiled and greeted.

A qualified actor can conceal his emotions well without revealing any flaws.

Obviously, Mu Zhian is a qualified actor.

"Senior Linglong?"

Doubt flashed in Lan Feiying's eyes: "Why did you take her to Tianxuan City?"

Although Lan Mulian did not say anything, her eyes were also fixed on the junior brother.

"Sister Lin Ling was troubled by the burning of karmic fire before, and planned to return to the cave to retreat for a thousand years to suppress the karmic fire. I was worried that I would not be able to see her in the future, so I took her to Tianxuan City to taste the nearby delicacies, so as to avoid any regrets."

Lan Murian heard the subtext of Mu Zhian's words: "From what you said, Senior Linglong is in better condition now?"

"Maybe because she was in a good mood after eating delicious food, her karmic fire has temporarily faded." Mu Zhian said.

Lan Murian seemed to be thinking about something.

Lan Feiying said "Oh", slightly enlightened.

Wei Mengrou looked at the young master suspiciously.

Mu Zhian's expression remained unchanged and he smiled and said, "Did anything happen to the Blue Clan during this period?"

When this matter was mentioned, Lan Mulian's eyes suddenly softened a bit, and he said softly: "In the past few days, my mother's spirit tablets have been sent to the Lan clan. She will only wait for the ancestor worship meeting to start in a few days." She will return to the Blue Clan as the deceased wife of the clan leader."

"In this way, it can be regarded as settling one of her worries during her lifetime."

When mentioning this matter, Lan Mulian seemed to fall into a brief state of emotion.

After a while, she glanced at the chariot not far away: "Senior Linglong is in the chariot?"

After hearing this, Lan Feiying and Wei Mengrou looked at each other.

Mu Zhian nodded calmly: "She doesn't want to return to the sect for the time being, so we came here together."

Lan Mulian looked at Mu Zhian and said softly: "You weren't rude to Senior Linglong on the way, were you?"

Mu Zhian said with a helpless smile: "Who does Senior Sister think of me? No matter what, I will not lose my sense of proportion and dare to be rude to Sister Lin Ling. If I offend her, she can use her magic to remove me from the situation." Erased from this world.”

After finishing speaking, seeing that none of the three people were suspicious, Mu Zhi'an breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was Lin Ling who followed him to Tianxuan City and not other girls, otherwise it would have been really difficult to end at this moment.

Although Lin Ling is pure and innocent, he can sense the malice of others.

Whenever Mu Zhian has any astringent thoughts about her, he will be noticed.

Over time, you will naturally become wary of him.

Because of this, no one would suspect him when he was with Lin Ling.

"By the way, there was news about Huang Weifeng a few days ago."

At this time, Lan Feiying suddenly said: "The ray of spiritual consciousness in Huang Weifeng's body should be the mount that followed Daochu Tianzun, the Holy Light Kirin. And it is rumored that the Holy Light Kirin will only recognize one master in his life."

This was part of the information obtained by the Lan family's secret investigation not long ago. Because of Mu Zhian's relationship, several elders did not hide the truth from the two sisters and truthfully told the truth, hoping that they would tell Mu Zhian and hope that he would be more careful.

If something happened to him in the Lan family, the Lan family would not be able to withstand the fairy's wrath.

"Holy Light Kirin..." Mu Zhian muttered, as if recalling whether he had seen this name in any ancient book in the past.

"The first elder of the Blue Clan told me yesterday that there were rumors in Dongzhou that Daochu Tianzun mysteriously disappeared thousands of years ago. The Holy Light Kirin lost its master and disappeared soon after that." Lan Mulian said.

"But it stands to reason that he can live at least one more life, and he shouldn't die so soon."

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered, and then, as if he thought of something, he stared at Lan Mulian: "Senior sister suspects that the mysterious power who took Huang Weifeng away before is Daochu Tianzun?"

Lan Mulian nodded slightly, and then stated that this was just her suspicion. The truth may not be the case, but she hoped that Mu Zhian would be careful.

After all, they were knowing what the other was hiding, and they didn't know what the attitude of the powerful man behind Huang Weifeng was.

It would be uncomfortable if he was targeted by a powerful person in the Hedao Realm.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "I will be careful."

He took a look at the sky and said, "It seems like it's going to rain. I'll go pick up Sister Lin Ling first."

After Lin Ling got out of the carriage, she saw Mu Zhian's heavy expression at a glance and took out a small book: "I will protect you."

It was obvious that she had heard everything they had just said.

Mu Zhian showed a warm smile: "Thank you."

Lin Ling shook her head gently and gently touched Mu Zhian's hair.

"What happened to Senior Linglong?" Lan Mulian asked.

"It's okay, she's comforting me." Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Lan Mulian was thoughtful: "Senior Linglong treated you very well in the past, but now he is even more willing to consider you... It's really strange."

Mu Zhian was worried that they would become suspicious, so he coughed lightly and said, "Let's go back first and then talk about it."

Along the way, Mu Zhian changed the topic several times, but tried his best not to rely on Lin Ling's topic. Unknowingly, he came to the dormitory where the two sisters lived.

Lin Ling followed a few people along the way. With the snacks prepared by Mu Zhian, she would not be bored.

Mu Zhian glanced at the silver-haired beauty beside him and said with a smile: "Senior sister, I will go and arrange a place for her to stay first, and I will see you later."

Lan Mulian raised his eyebrows inadvertently and said softly: "After Senior Linglong went to Tianxuan City, he seemed to be even more clingy to his junior brother than before."

Mu Zhi'an's head jumped, but he remained calm on the surface and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because I treated her to a lot of snacks these days."

Lan Feiying glanced at Mu Zhian meaningfully: "If a snack can please Senior Linglong, sect disciples would have done so in the past."

Lan Mulian took over the firepower: "I once heard Master say that the karmic fire of a spirit dragon cannot be easily suppressed. Why did you take her to Tianxuan City and the karmic fire faded away on its own...?"

Wei Mengrou frowned slightly, staring at the young master without saying a word.

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I have a natural affinity."

It's just that this smile can no longer hold its own.

At this time, Lin Ling glanced at the three girls, opened her red lips lightly, and said, "You are not allowed to bully him."

Almost at that moment, the three people's original "unkindness" towards Mu Zhian disappeared in an instant.

Lan Mulian was secretly surprised and whispered, "Word Spirit!"

This word spirit technique is really mysterious and strange. Just speaking can distort a person's emotions?

What would happen if he said something to his junior brother?

But there is something more worrying right now...

Lan Mulian's eyes fell on the cute silver-haired beauty and said, "Why is Senior Linglong so good to him?"

"He has helped me a lot these days." Lin Ling wrote in the little notebook, while protecting Mu Zhian, as if protecting his own child, with a vigilant look.

"A lot of help...?"

Lan Mulian's eyes flickered, and suddenly he showed a friendly smile like breaking the ice: "Could it be... related to the fire of karma?"
