So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

At this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly felt that he was a little bit out of control, and his brain was in a semi-shutdown state.

"Mu Lang...?" Lan Mulian repeated softly.

This title was extremely familiar to her, because Bai Ruoxi had called Mu Zhian that way before.

In this era, when a woman calls her beloved Taoist monk, she usually adds the word "lang" to the end of her surname.

Lin Ling's words were basically the same as self-destruction.

Lan Feiying narrowed her eyes, with a dangerous look in her eyes.

Lan Mulian's face turned gloomy for a moment, and there was a hint of teasing and sullenness in his bright autumn eyes.

"Senior sister, it's a long story." Mu Zhi'an forced a smile. Even if he couldn't see his expression at the moment, he didn't need to think about it to know that his expression must be awkward and polite at the moment.

"Junior brother, what a trick. You deceived Miss Bai into calling you Mu Lang, and now you have even caught up with Senior Linglong?" Lan Mulian's voice was cold, and her pretty face was covered with frost.

"It's not that I succeeded, it's just that a lot of things happened this time..."

Mu Zhian coughed to cover up his embarrassment: "It's a long story. I'll explain it to my senior sister when I have some free time."

When he finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Ling helplessly.

The silver-haired beauty blinked innocently and held up the small notebook: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it."

I believe you!

Mu Zhian almost lost control of his expression and his mentality collapsed.

Miss Lin Ling obviously knew what 'Mu Lang' meant, otherwise she wouldn't have blushed when she called out this title a few days ago... She would speak like this to the two sisters now, and he had to doubt Lin Ling's motives. .

He looks cute and harmless, but he is actually a natural black...?

Lan Mulian sneered and said, "Can you explain it clearly now, or are you saying that junior brother is too busy going back to make out with Senior Linglong?"

"My relationship with Sister Lin Ling is relatively pure." Mu Zhian explained.

"Pure love?" Lan Feiying joined the battlefield and asked with a smile.

Lan Mulian's beautiful eyes, as clear as late autumn pool water, looked at him calmly: "Senior Linglong's previous karma was really suppressed by you, right?"

"This matter is a little complicated to talk about. At that time, I didn't know that my physique could suppress bad luck. Later, I learned that Sister Lin Ling transferred the misfortune of the sect master to herself, so that she was haunted by karma. I was anxious..."

He was not worried that Lin Ling would open his mouth to cause trouble at this time. On the way here, Mu Zhian told her that the clip of "Suppressing the Karmic Fire.mp4" was a secret between the two of them. Lin Ling was holding a crystal elbow at the time. , agreed very obediently.

In the end, who would have thought that Miss Linglong, who never fought or grabbed, would actually call him Mu Lang in front of the senior sisters and the others...

When Lan Mulian heard the previous words, she was still sneering at first, but at the end of the story, a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes, and she said in disbelief: "Master is plagued by bad luck?"

Lan Feiying was also a little surprised and said softly: "How is it possible...people's luck is not fixed? Why did bad luck happen to her out of thin air?"

"Originally, Sister Lin Ling's karmic fire was almost suppressed, but due to bad luck, the karmic fire almost broke out."

Mu Zhian shook his head gently: "I don't know the specific situation. I only learned about it from Sister Lin Ling after she came to the Blue Clan a few days ago."

Lan Mulian's eyes subconsciously fell on Lin Ling: "Master, she is old...how is she doing now?"

Did senior sister just want to talk about her old man...

Unexpectedly, the normally cold, arrogant and noble senior sister would sometimes feel 'scared'... Mu Zhi'an cursed in her heart.

For a moment, the two sisters' attention was smoothly transferred from the title "Mu Lang" to Concubine Shang Yan.

Lin Ling held up the small notebook: "She's fine now, don't worry."

"Her bad luck has been temporarily suppressed."

Temporarily suppressed? It seems that Sister Lin Ling really knows a lot about the sect leader's sister... Mu Zhian saw the huge amount of information in these words and thought secretly in his heart.

Lan Mulian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and soon began to think: "Why is Master always so troubled by bad luck?"

After being in contact with Concubine Shang Yan for so long, Lan Mulian still couldn't see through this master. She had never felt this even from any Hedao master in the past.

That master may not be able to read minds, but he can always see through other people's thoughts... He has never won against her, maybe because of this.

How could such a gorgeous woman be troubled by bad luck?

"How is Senior Spirit Dragon doing now?" Lan Mulian suddenly asked.

"You transferred Master's misfortune to yourself, will it be okay?"

Lin Ling shook her head "Aaa".

"I'm fine."

Mu Zhian saw that the atmosphere had calmed down smoothly, and he was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, he saw Lin Ling continuing to write: "He has helped me a lot these days, so the fire of karma has been suppressed."

Sister Lin Ling, did you really not do this on purpose? !

Mu Zhi'an's heart, which had just been relieved, suddenly rose again, and the little soul in his body roared softly, like he was on a roller coaster.

"oh?"

Lan Mulian became a little more interested, and her cold voice slowed down a little, and she said softly: "If you think about it carefully, junior brother has helped many women in the past, but he didn't expect that even Senior Linglong can help today. I don’t know what exactly you did?”

Mu Zhian glanced at Lin Ling subconsciously.

Lin Ling glanced at him and held up the notebook: "This is our secret."

Mu Zhian was desperate.

It seemed that he said nothing, but in fact he said everything.

If he said this, let alone that he and Lin Ling had practiced dual cultivation, even if they had not practiced dual cultivation, they would be misunderstood by the two.

A sneer came from the side, and Mu Zhian immediately looked at the cold and noble little white dress beside him.

She looked at this half-hearted guy with a blank expression and cold eyes.

Lan Feiying's face was cold, and she also turned her face away, too lazy to look at him.

There was no way, I had to stand at attention when I was beaten...Mu Zhian sighed in his heart and had to take Lin Ling away first.

"Although Senior Linglong is in the Hedao realm, he is not experienced in the world. Take good care of yourself, Junior Brother."

At this time, a cold and arrogant voice suddenly came from behind.

Lan Mulian's cold face was expressionless, revealing a look that was even colder than before.

Mu Zhian was silent for a moment, and then sent a message to the two sisters: "Today, Sister Lin Ling and I went to the ancestral land of the Blue Clan."

Lan Mulian's beautiful eyes, as clear as a cold pond, flickered slightly. She opened her mouth slightly and looked at Mu Zhian subconsciously, and her curiosity was successfully drawn out.

What happened today is related to him... Lan Feiying also realized something, and glanced at Mu Zhian inconspicuously.

Very good, they are curious, and my "broken chapter" is very successful...Mu Zhian did not continue to explain. Seeing that the two of them wanted to ask the reason but couldn't bring themselves to do it, he finally felt relieved and left with Lin Ling.

Leaving the vicinity of the main hall, Lin Ling's beautiful face suddenly showed a trace of uneasiness, and subconsciously glanced at Mu Zhian.

"Aaa..." She gently tugged at the corner of Mu Zhian's clothes.

"What's the matter?" Mu Zhian asked unhappily.

Then, seeing her look as pitiful as a kitten abandoned by its owner, he felt a little sorry and said, "Sister Lin Ling made me suffer today."

"Sorry." Lin Ling immediately raised the small notebook.

"I will be unhappy when I see you being intimate with others."

"You told me that sometimes you should know how to do whatever you want and not consider you in everything."

"But it seems that it will cause you trouble?"

"It will definitely..."

Mu Zhian had just finished speaking when he saw Lin Ling's dim eyes, and his eyes twitched slightly. He reached out and touched her silver hair again: "But you did a great job."

"I made you unhappy, but you did a great job?" Lin Ling tilted her head.

Mu Zhian also tilted his head: "Why do you want to make me happy? Isn't it okay as long as you are happy?"

"Did you call me like this on purpose today?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

Lin Ling nodded gently.

"Do you know what Mu Lang means?"

"I don't know, but I can guess." Lin Ling wrote.

She is not stupid, but she looks silly and cute on weekdays... Mu Zhian stood in the rain and looked at her, speechless for a long time.

...

As the night deepened, Mu Zhian returned to the house, lit a candle, sat in front of the window and looked at the rain outside.

The darkness was so deep that when looking out from the window, it made people feel as if no matter how anxious they were, they could calm down.

Mu Zhian reached out and took out the ancient bell in his hand, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and began to sort out the information he had obtained in the past few days.

There is no doubt that the backhand left by the Nine-tailed Sky Fox in Dongzhou in the past was definitely related to the Blue Clan.

It can even be confirmed that the spirit of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox is in the ancestral land of the Blue Clan.

The question now is whether the senior leaders of the Blue Clan knew about this?

If they knew, why didn't they deal with the spirit of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox earlier, but instead kept her in the ancestral land, or even worship her?

During the ancestral worship ceremony, an oracle would descend from the ancestral land every time... and the one who performed this magical power was not the ancestor of the Lan family, but most likely the Nine-tailed Sky Fox.

This is not only collusion with demon cultivators, but even a demon cultivator of the Hedao realm!

If this secret is exposed, the Lan family will not be as simple as being condemned by everyone.

This involves the issue of position.

"It seems that the Qingyue Holy Land probably knows some secrets, so it secretly colluded with the elders of the Lan family and planned to make a big fuss during the ancestral worship ceremony...?"

After all, the demonic energy of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox is so huge that even if there is a formation to suppress it, they will definitely find a way to let the demonic energy overflow.

Once everyone in Dongzhou knows about this, the Lan family at that time will probably be attacked by a group of ancient families...

Mu Zhian sighed lightly and tried to collect his thoughts.

At the moment, he couldn't think of a solution for the time being, so he could only take a long-term view.

Mu Zhian raised his fingertips, and the next moment, a ruler emitting a soft halo appeared in his vision.

The Heaven-Measured Ruler, the ancestral weapon of the Lord of Heaven in the past, contains special divinity, and now has become Mu Zhian's weapon.

"If I use the separation power of the Heaven-Measured Ruler, I wonder if I can separate the evil spirits emanating from the ancestral land of the Blue Clan..." Mu Zhian whispered to himself.

Then, he quickly shook his head and rejected this idea.

If he was in the Return to Void Realm, he might be able to do it with the Heaven-Measured Ruler, but he was only one step away from refining the spirit and returning to cultivation.

But this one step away, it is unknown how long it will take to step on it.

Just as he was about to put away the Heaven-Measured Ruler, at this moment, Mu Zhian's attention was suddenly attracted by the ruler of the Heaven-Measured Ruler.

There were a total of nine imprints on the ruler that emitted a faint white light, and at this moment, four of the imprints had ancient characters emerging.

"This text seems to be from a certain dynasty. Although I am not illiterate, I can't understand what is written on it..."

Mu Zhi'an had doubts in his heart and tried to inject a ray of spiritual energy into the measuring ruler.

Buzz!

The next moment, there was a vibration in the entire space, and Mu Zhian could feel that the first rune of the Sky Ruler lit up with a cyan halo.

The rain curtain outside suddenly disappeared. Mu Zhi'an's thoughts moved slightly. When he looked up, he found that the rain outside was stagnant in mid-air, like a picture scroll, and no longer dripped down.

It was quiet all around, without any sound.

"This rune involves the power of time, and can it be used by me?"

Mu Zhian was surprised and happy. At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness. The spiritual energy in the cauldron was drained out in an instant. It was as if he had practiced double cultivation with others for three days and three nights. Suddenly, I feel like vomiting.

Mu Zhian hurriedly put away the measuring ruler, time began to flow again, and he was already sweating profusely.

An elegant and clear singing voice came from beside me: "Aaa?"

Lin Ling held the tea cup and handed it to Mu Zhian with concern in her eyes.

"Thank you." Mu Zhian forced a smile and took the tea cup.

The fingers are trembling a little.

"Are you okay?"

Lin Ling half-crouched beside him, poking at the chain on Mu Zhian's hand with her fingers, and continued to write in the notebook: "Were you practicing the exercises just now? Why did your weapons deteriorate?"

Mu Zhian lowered his head and saw that the measuring ruler in his hand had collapsed like his master at some point, and had changed from the ruler back to its original chain form.

"It's nothing serious, I'm just too focused on practicing." Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Lin Ling nodded and gently stroked the smooth surface of Wentian Suo with her fingers.

"Looks like a necklace." She wrote in her little notebook.

Mu Zhian unlocked the Wentian Lock and hung it on Lin Ling's jade neck.

"It looks like it's really a necklace..." Mu Zhian was a little surprised. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the smooth surface of Wentian Suo. He gently pulled the necklace, and Lin Ling's face immediately moved closer to him.

Seeing this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but take a few more glances at the silver-haired beauty squatting beside him.

As if to hide it, he coughed lightly and said, "Let me untie it for you."

Lin Ling raised her head and blinked her clear red eyes, tilted her head to look at him, and wrote in a small notebook: "Did holding my hand like that just now make you excited?"

Mu Zhian said calmly: "Why do you ask so suddenly?"

"Your heart was beating very fast just now."

Lin Ling's innocent red eyes looked at Mu Zhian: "Do you like me wearing a necklace?"

That's not a necklace... Mu Zhian looked at her pure and beautiful face silently, complaining silently in his heart.

No, I have to calm down... If Sister Sect Leader knew that I bullied Sister Lin Ling like this, she might slap me... He quickly suppressed the many thoughts that came up in his heart and silently took the Wentian Lock back into the ring. .

"It's not that I like her, I just think Sister Lin Ling looks good in whatever she wears." He quickly smiled.

Lin Ling's face turned red and she lowered her head shyly, then buried her face in Mu Zhian's arms and half-knelt beside him.

This is not a spiritual dragon, it is clearly a docile cat... Mu Zhi'an thought.

Many cats are like this. They like to cling to their owners and occasionally lick their owners' faces or 'step on their legs'.

After a while, Lin Ling raised her head and looked at him: "You seem to be worried about something. Is it because of what happened in the ancestral land tonight?"

Mu Zhian said softly: "The Blue Clan's affairs have nothing to do with me, but Senior Sister and Sister Feiying are from the Blue Clan. Once something happens to the Blue Clan, I'm afraid they will be implicated -"

When Mu Zhian said this, his mind moved slightly.

If I remember correctly, except for the first elder of the Blue Clan who agreed to the Lan sisters joining the clan, most of the other elders strongly opposed their return to the Blue Clan.

Even the head of the Lan family never invited them...

Could it be that the 'implication' issue was also considered?

Lin Ling lowered her head and wrote in a small notebook: "Is there any way you can help them?"

"I watched Lian'er grow up, and I want to help her."

Mu Zhian sighed softly: "The affairs of the Blue Clan are their business after all. It is not convenient for outsiders like us to interfere... Even if I remind them to be careful of the insider, I am afraid they will not believe it."

One is the great elder of the Blue Clan, and the other is just an outsider... Who will the Blue Clan believe? The answer is self-evident.

"However, once the nine-tailed sky fox's demonic energy is leaked on the day of the ancestor worship meeting, I'm afraid it will cause quite a trouble."

"Unless the evil spirit can be concealed." Mu Zhian said softly.

When he said this, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and a blue lightning flashed in his brain.

"Hidden evil spirit..." He murmured to himself, his eyes subconsciously falling on Lin Ling.

Soon, the corners of his mouth curved in an interesting way.

"It seems there is a way..."

Lin Ling blinked and looked at him: "Aaa?"

"Don't worry, you'll know in a few days." Mu Zhian gently touched Lin Ling's silver hair.

"Compared to this, Sister Lin Ling has caused me a lot of pain today, so she has to compensate me."

Under Lin Ling's doubtful gaze, Mu Zhian leaned in her ear and whispered, "Come into my arms."
