So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Lan Clan, Xianhuang Mountain.

After the ancestral worship meeting, Xianhuang Mountain returned to silence. Except for the occasional elders of the Lan Clan guarding nearby, no one from the clan passed by.

After all, the chief elder of the Lan Clan rebelled a few days ago and almost made a fuss about the hidden demon cultivators in the ancestral land. The current patriarch of the Lan Clan, Lan Pingzhi, would naturally have people take good care of him. After all, his two daughters were still in seclusion in the ancestral land.

On this day, in the secret realm of Xianhuang Mountain, a space crack quietly opened, and a stunning beauty walked out of the space crack.

She seemed to have a faint ice-blue glow, with beautiful eyes and a beautiful and cold appearance.

"It seems that your inheritance has ended?"

A man's clear voice came from near Xianhuang Mountain.

Lan Mulian looked over and saw that it was her half-brother, Lan Wu.

She nodded modestly: "I just woke up not long ago, but Feiying is still in the Abyss."

Although Lan Wu is also a member of the Lan Clan, he has always stood on the side of the two sisters. Even when he went to Liangyi Sect before, he was acting on orders, and he did not make things difficult. Lan Mulian had a good impression of this brother.

Lan Wu nodded slightly, then glanced at Lan Mulian's expression in confusion, and said: "Looking at my sister like this, it seems that there is something urgent... Could something have happened?"

Lan Mulian recalled what happened in the ancestral land not long ago. At that time, the ancestor of the Lan Clan told her that Mu Zhian had come, and seemed to be worried about the situation of the two.

It was precisely because of this that she wanted to see her junior brother as soon as the inheritance ended, so that he could rest assured.

"It's not an urgent matter, but I have been away from Liangyi Sect for such a long time, so I want to return to the sect as soon as possible to report to the master."

In a sense, her return to the Lan Clan this time is also the encouragement of the master's words.

Now that she hasn't seen Shang Yanfei for such a long time, Lan Mulian naturally wants to see the master as soon as possible.

By the way, go to Tianhe Garden to see him.

Well... After all, Junior Brother came to the Blue Clan's ancestral land and risked entering the Abyss to see her. No matter what, he can't be disappointed.

...

The identity of the Sect Master has always been a mystery.

But Mu Zhian is more concerned about another thing than this.

Where did Shang Yanfei's karmic fire come from?

According to the currently known information, the Sect Master's luck had problems a long time ago, and in the past she was able to suppress the bad luck and resist the backlash of the karmic fire by herself.

But this time it seems that the situation is different from before... This makes people a little concerned.

For the time being, he said goodbye to Wei Mengrou and told her how to answer if Ruoxi and the others asked after he left. Then, Mu Zhian followed Lin Ling and left the Sword Palace.

Liangyi Peak, Qingmei Garden.

This is the middle peak of Liangyi Peak. Because of the formation, no disciples have ever set foot here. In addition to Lan Mulian passing by here occasionally to relax, only the spirit dragon occasionally passes by to find food in the middle peak.

"Ling'er, didn't you say before that I need the energy of chaos to help the sect master suppress the fire of karma? But I am still reluctant to refine the energy of chaos now. I am afraid that you can't help the sect master with me..."

Mu Zhian followed Lin Ling on the path of Qingmei Garden. Because the Liangyi Peak was covered by the formation, the Word Spirit Technique was also restricted unless the caster took the initiative to unlock the formation.

This season is February, which has just entered spring. The layout of Qingmei Garden is elegant, with winding paths leading to secluded places. There is an open-air hot spring not far into the depths. Shang Yanfei occasionally soaks in the hot spring there, and sometimes with Lin Ling.

Lin Ling took Mu Zhian's hand and handed the small book to him: "The energy of chaos can suppress the bad luck that affects her, but without the energy of chaos, you can suppress the fire of karma."

I understand, Ling'er means that although I can't suppress the bad luck of the sect master's sister, I can suppress her fire of karma.

The fire of karma will reappear, and he can suppress it repeatedly.

Mu Zhian turned his head to look at Lin Ling's profile. Her little face was focused and serious, and there was a worried look in her red eyes. It can be seen that she really cares about the situation of the sect master's sister, so much so that she didn't even eat a snack on the way today.

Mu Zhian reached out and rubbed her silver hair, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the sect master has always been thoughtful. She could suppress the karmic fire in the past, and she can do it now... and I'm here now, right?"

Lin Ling blinked, her eyes were still complicated, and she wrote in the small notebook for Mu Zhian to see: "Will it be difficult for you to do this kind of thing?"

Mu Zhian smiled at Lin Ling's innocent face, thinking that if I could, I would like to suppress the sect master sister, how could it be difficult.

It's just that this big shark really didn't have the opportunity to get close to it before.

"It's all for my Ling'er, as long as you are happy." Mu Zhian also wrote in the small notebook, looking at her gently.

"I'm not happy, but there's nothing I can do. You're the only one who can suppress the fire of karma caused by bad luck. I'm unhappy to see you getting close to other girls."

Mu Zhian's mind moved slightly, and he said, "Do you also feel jealous or something like that?"

"It's just a little sad, but I can bear it."

Lin Ling wrote in the notebook: "There are many women around you. I can't ask you to be with me alone, because it will be difficult for you."

Mu Zhian looked at her silently and said, "In fact, if you use the words of the spirit, I can't disobey you no matter what you want me to do."

"You can't do this. Using the Word Spirit to distort other people's feelings is bad." Lin Ling put her index finger on her lips.

Mu Zhian couldn't help but laugh, and stopped. He put one hand around the girl's soft waist and whispered in her ear: "Then how could you use the Word Spirit to interfere with my desires when you were practicing dual cultivation before?"

After Mu Zhian finished speaking, he stopped at Lin Ling's beautiful face like white porcelain. Her eyelashes like a small brush trembled slightly, and she lowered her head, but did not push him away.

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "My Ling'er is so good. After I help the sect master sister suppress the karmic fire, I will treat you to snacks later."

Lin Ling was happy at first, but then, looking at Mu Zhian's playful eyes, she immediately reacted, blushed and gently pushed him away, and quickly wrote in the small notebook: "Don't..."

"But there is a strong spiritual energy of the heavenly court. Are you sure you don't want to try it, Ling'er? This is a very delicious thing." Mu Zhian persuaded.

Seeing her increasingly fiery face, Mu Zhian stopped teasing: "Okay, I'll go to the hot spring first, do you want to go with me?"

Lin Ling shook her head gently: "She'll be embarrassed if I go."

So the Sect Master's sister will also be shy? I really can't tell at ordinary times...

After all, that woman always has a mysterious smile no matter when, and you can't see through her mind at all.

Mu Zhian: "Then you go to the senior sister's palace and wait for me to come back."

Mu Zhian straightened his robe and walked along the deep path towards the hot spring in the Love Plum Garden.

At this time, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

Lin Ling's rosy little mouth opened slightly, and when Mu Zhian turned his head, a crisp voice like a silver bell sounded softly in the Love Plum Garden: "That thing tastes strange, so I don't like it."

Is she still struggling with the joke just now... Seeing this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but smile, and was about to tell him truthfully that he was just joking just now.

At this time, she hesitated for a long time, walked up quickly and handed him a page she had just written, then turned around and left Qingmei Garden.

Mu Zhian looked down at the content on the paper.

"If you like, I can be patient."

...

"Although Ling'er has no experience in teasing, she meets my XP in every sense..."

Mu Zhian walked on the winding and deep path, looking at the content on the paper, recalling the various scenes just now, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In Mu Zhian's fish pond, Miss Linglong can be said to be the most special one. She doesn't know how to please a man, but it is this simple mind that just hits Mu Zhian's XP.

Who doesn't like a cute and obedient beauty who is strong and powerful?

But speaking of it, Lin Ling may have had ignorant feelings for Mu Zhian in the past, but it was not obvious. It was just that someone was pushing Lin Ling forward from behind and secretly planning.

And now that person has also encountered a similar situation as Lin Ling.

Mu Zhian walked along the cobblestone path to the depths of the Love Plum Garden. He looked up and seemed to see the hazy hot air rising from the hot spring in the distance.

The hot spring that Lin Ling mentioned was here.

Mu Zhian was about to get closer, but he vaguely heard a woman's low moan in the hot spring. The sound was intermittent, and it was obvious that she was intentionally suppressing her voice.

In addition to Linglong, there was only the sect master's sister in this place.

She couldn't be...

Mu Zhian's heartbeat was slightly skipped. He held his breath, restrained his breath, and approached quietly.

The voice became clearer and clearer, and the graceful figure of a woman could be vaguely seen in the field of vision.

Shang Yanfei sat by the hot spring, with her face bare and her long hair tied up with a hairband, hanging down in strands.

Elegant, cold, and the mysterious black mist set her off like a noble and cold fairy, but the sexy figure that appeared in Mu Zhian's vision at this moment looked like a seductive witch.

If we consider the mysterious identity and strength of the Liangyi Sect's leader, then this beauty who seems to be between a fairy and a witch has a bit more inviolable majesty.

First of all, I'm not a coward, but it's really hard to imagine that a woman like the Sect Master's sister can practice dual cultivation with me. The pressure is a bit high... As an old driver, Mu Zhian rarely follows his heart.

In Mu Zhian's fish pond, Yao Meng ranks first in terms of appearance alone. There is no way to do this. Yaochi Daoyun adds too many points to a woman's appearance.

But if you count temperament, figure, etc., the fish in the fish pond have their own characteristics.

And the one who attracts Mu Zhian the most to explore is naturally the Sect Master's sister.

Although he can't remember Shang Yanfei's appearance, he has always been amazed by her, which is enough to show that the Sect Master's sister must be very beautiful.

Although the black dress wrapped around her delicate body was a little loose, Mu Zhian could still see her high chest because of the outline of the belt, so he always had an impression of the sect master as "big and generous".

Even if he forgot her appearance, he was confident that he could judge a person by her chest.

In addition, Mu Zhian's impression of the sect master came from other people.

For example, Ye Lingxuan, who was as arrogant as the princess of the restricted area, had always secretly admired the sect master after only meeting her once in childhood. The cold senior sister also became an obedient disciple in front of her. The sect disciples and even the elders were also very curious about this sect master.

But most people had never seen what this sect master looked like... Even if they had seen her, they would soon forget it.

And such a gorgeous woman, at this moment, was actually...

The legs that were gently rubbed, the slightly hot face, and even the hot breath from the lips, there is no doubt that this is...

Mu Zhian looked at the scene in shock.

As if she had sensed the existence behind her, Shang Yanfei suddenly came back to her senses from the state just now, and said lazily: "When did you come?"

She is really worthy of being the sect master, she is so calm even when she is dying...Mu Zhian said calmly: "Ling'er brought me here not long ago. I heard that there was something wrong with the sect master's luck. I just know a thing or two about suppressing bad luck."

The atmosphere was a little awkward and silent, but Mu Zhian did not intend to miss this opportunity. He asked tentatively: "Sect Master, what were you doing just now..."

Shang Yanfei was silent for a moment, and her tone remained calm: "This is the influence of the karma fire."

Mu Zhian understood slightly, and then, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he said: "Could it be that the sect master was also like this when the karma fire burned his body before-"

Before she finished speaking, Shang Yanfei looked back inadvertently.

The two of them looked at each other in the misty hot spring. When he saw the pair of beautiful golden eyes, Mu Zhian's eyes suddenly became dazed.

Then, after nearly half a minute of silence, Mu Zhian gradually woke up, looked around, and hesitated: "When did I come here...?"

He remembered when he came to the hot spring, but he felt that a piece of memory after coming to the hot spring seemed to be missing, but no matter how he recalled, he had no impression.

"I think you just had an epiphany, so you meditated for a while after coming here." Shang Yanfei said lightly.

Mu Zhian: "Is there such a thing? Will a cultivator suddenly have an epiphany?"

Shang Yanfei changed the subject lightly: "What's the matter with you? If I remember correctly, you should have left the sect a few days ago."

Mu Zhian slightly gathered his thoughts and said: "I heard that the sect master was in poor health, so I wanted to see if there was anything I could help with."

Shang Yanfei shook her head gently: "Ling'er brought you here, but it's not a big deal. If there is nothing else, you can go back first."

Mu Zhian fell silent. Although he could not capture something as ethereal as luck, he could still detect something strange about the woman in gorgeous clothes in front of him.

In the past few times when the fire backfired, Ling'er had never come to find him, but this time she came... This is enough to show that the fire backfire of the sect master's sister this time is more serious than before.

At the beginning, he accidentally saved Yao Meng in the cave of the pilgrimage temple, and Shang Yanfei's shadow could be seen behind the scenes.

In addition, Gong Lianyue, in the past, Linglong proposed to the restricted area, and he got the body of the nine-tailed fox. On the surface, he got many opportunities because of his predestined relationship with the original witch, but in fact, it was all guided by the woman in front of him.

She saved the Qing Emperor, resurrected Gong Lianyue, and solved Linglong's pain of karma. Although she never accompanied him on this journey, she seemed to be protecting him all the time.

And this time, someone got into trouble again.

It's just that no one helped him with this trouble.

Because the person who got into trouble this time was herself.

Mu Zhian sighed softly: "If possible, I would also like to do my best to repay you."

Shang Yanfei seemed to know what he was thinking, and smiled brightly: "Have you ever thought that I might have another purpose for helping you before?"

She paused: "My karma fire is different from Ling'er's. In fact, you don't have to worry. Go back first."

Mu Zhian then raised his hand and bowed: "Then the disciple will take his leave first."

In the slightly silent atmosphere, Mu Zhian left quietly with the sound of footsteps.

Shang Yanfei did not look back, but gently untied the belt and was about to take off the black dress.

At this time, she heard the footsteps that had already left and returned.

"Is there anything else?"

The moment she opened her mouth, Mu Zhian had already walked to the hot spring: "I don't know what the purpose of the sect master is, but I am a person who knows how to repay kindness."

Shang Yanfei tilted her head slightly and looked at him: "So?"

Mu Zhian stared into her eyes and reached out to hold one of her slightly cool hands: "I'll help you."
