So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

The next morning.

Mu Zhian finished a night of meditation and opened his eyes.

There was a slight knock on the door.

Did Bai Ruoxi come here early in the morning... Mu Zhian said in a deep voice: "Come in."

Pushing the door open, a girl with an elegant temperament walked into the room. Judging from her dress, she seemed to be a maid of the Mu family... But why did I feel that I had never seen this maid before?

Mu Zhian looked at her a little puzzled.

If there was such a beautiful maid in the Mu Mansion, he would not have no impression of her.

"When did you come to the Mu family?" Mu Zhian asked puzzledly.

"I don't think I have seen you before... but I seem to have seen you somewhere..."

"This sounds like harassing others." Wei Mengrou stood at the door of the room at some point and complained lightly.

Then she said: "She is the daughter you saved in the Chen Mansion before, have you forgotten it yourself?"

Mu Zhian was startled and looked at the maid a few more times.

She is pretty and has a good figure... Mu Zhian suddenly realized that this maid seemed to be the daughter of the Chen family who was almost humiliated by Gongsun Zan a few days ago.

"I have been taken care of by Miss Wei during this period. I wanted to thank you earlier, but Miss Wei said that Mr. Mu was busy with other things, so I didn't bother you." The daughter of the Chen family bowed slightly and said in a soft voice:

"Thank you very much for your help before, Mr. Mu."

"Are you used to it here?" Mu Zhian smiled.

The daughter of the Chen family nodded and said softly: "I was a little uncomfortable at first, but now I am slowly getting used to it."

After all, she was a young lady in the past. She grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. It is still difficult to get used to the life of a maid in a short time.

This is life. You may still be a rich second generation in the previous second, but no one knows if something will suddenly happen in the next second.

Just as the black-robed man said before he died, the court was already rotten. The emperor was incompetent and obsessed with beauty since he married a concubine. The officials under him were all very smart. On the surface, they had no intention of making money, but in fact, they had been corrupt and profiteering under the banner of justice over the years, making a lot of money and making a lot of money.

The Gongsun family was not an official, but as a family of immortal cultivation, they had been in contact with officials in the court over the years, otherwise they would not have been raided every now and then.

However, Mu Zhian did not know much about the affairs of the court, and he did not know why the Chen Mansion was raided. Maybe it was because the censor of the Chen Mansion was corrupt, or maybe he offended someone in the court.

According to speculation, the latter is more likely.

After all, the possibility of being raided just for corruption is basically zero. It should be that someone in the court and the public was offended, so he was secretly plotted.

It was also because of this that Miss Chen almost caused a tragedy in her mansion before.

"If you have any difficulties, you can tell the person in charge of the mansion." Mu Zhian said.

Originally, after the house was searched, these women should have been taken to the Jiaofangsi, but for the Mu family, it was not difficult to stop someone in the middle of the way.

Even if the people above knew, they would turn a blind eye.

Miss Chen thanked again, and Mu Zhian just smiled back.

Things in the court are unpredictable. The Chen Mansion was investigated in one second, and it is possible that a colleague would rescue them in the next second, and they would rise to prominence from then on.

Although generally speaking, there is basically no possibility of turning the tables after the house was searched.

But... just think of it as doing something you want to do, and it can satisfy your heart a little, isn't it enough?

Mu Zhian never thought of himself as a good person, but he didn't want to become a bad person.

After watching the daughter of the Chen Mansion leave, Mu Zhian turned his head to look at Wei Mengrou and said, "Sister Mengrou, why did you come so early?"

"Are you here to help me dress?"

Wei Mengrou glanced at him.

"The eldest daughter of the Bai family is here to see you. She is in the backyard now."

"Oh... Speaking of which, I asked someone to invite her to the Mu family yesterday morning. I didn't expect her to come so early." Mu Zhian yawned and stretched his body.

"You go first. I'll find you in the backyard after I change my clothes."

After Wei Mengrou left, Mu Zhian got up to change his clothes and tidied his hair in front of the bronze mirror.

After all, if you want to meet a girl, you still have to ensure your image.

After tidying up his hair and clothes, Mu Zhian left the room and came to the pavilion in the backyard.

The morning sun was warm and the leaves rustled in the sun. Bai Ruoxi, who was dressed in a white long skirt and elegant and intellectual, sat under the pavilion, holding a book in her hand. Her black hair hung down in strands, and her slender neck was looming, white and crystal.

Wei Mengrou's figure was not seen. I don't know if she was hiding in the dark or hadn't come to the backyard yet.

Mu Zhian held his breath and approached quietly.

Bai Ruoxi seemed unaware, lowering her head to read, turning the pages with her slender fingers. Just when Mu Zhian was about to get behind her, a soft and cold voice sounded:

"Mr. Mu secretly blocked his Qi and approached Ruoxi. Is there something he wants to do?"

Mu Zhian paused and looked at Bai Ruoxi in astonishment.

Bai Ruoxi's perception ability is so strong even though they are both in the Qi training stage?

Bai Ruoxi looked sideways, with a faint smile on her face, and said: "If it was this time yesterday, I probably wouldn't be able to detect your breath, but when I woke up this morning, I found that I had practiced Qi for nine Taste it.”

"The effect of this heavenly energy is really good." Mu Zhian felt as sour as eating a lemon.

Bai Ruoxi also had unconcealable joy in her eyes, but she nodded reservedly.

Then he said: "The blessing effect of the Qi of Heaven is very strong, but the reason why I was promoted to the ninth level of Qi training may be because you came to Baifu yesterday."

"What does my coming to Baifu have to do with your promotion to the ninth level of Qi training...?" Mu Zhian asked confused.

He went to Bai Mansion yesterday just to investigate Bai Mu's affairs, and also made out with Bai Ruoxi by the way...other than that, he didn't do much else.

Bai Ruoxi's face turned red, and her calm voice was a little shy, "You are a natural furnace."

Mu Zhian hesitated for half a second and finally understood what Bai Ruoxi meant.

So that’s it, can just kissing trigger the effect of the “natural furnace”?

Mu Zhian was slightly stunned, and then looked at Bai Ruoxi's face and her perfectly curved buttocks sitting on the stone chair.

Hmm...it seems like I don't see the ears or tail.

Is Bai Ruoxi really the child of that three-tailed fox and a human... Mu Zhian felt a little regretful.

Bai Ruoxi obviously noticed Mu Zhian's gaze, her cold face was stained with two light blushes, and she whispered: "Why are you staring at my head and..."

She didn't have the nerve to say that word.

She felt that Mu Zhian was a little strange today. He had been staring at her head and butt since he saw her... Could it be that after yesterday's intimacy, he had further ideas?

"It's nothing, don't worry about it," Mu Zhian came back to his senses and smiled, "I just want to see if you have fox ears and a tail or something."

Fox ears and tail...?

Bai Ruoxi was slightly startled, thinking of the demonization her mother showed her in the side hall yesterday. Her eyes slowly opened wide and she looked at Mu Zhian blankly: "You know everything?"

"You know, isn't it normal? Didn't you just want to tell me about this yesterday?" Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Bai Ruoxi was silent.

"To be honest, I'm quite happy." Mu Zhian suddenly said.

Bai Ruoxi was willing to tell him the truth, which meant that Bai Ruoxi believed that he would not leak the secret. This feeling of being trusted was wonderful.

"What are you going to do?" Bai Ruoxi raised her head and stared at Mu Zhian.

"Do you want to tell that senior sister about this?"

Mu Zhian shook his head: "Senior sister is busy with the sect's assessment now, so it's better not to cause any trouble to her."

Bai Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief quietly in her heart.

In fact, she was still a little uneasy until she was on the way to Mu Zhian's house, because she had a vague hunch that Mu Zhian knew the truth.

Hearing his answer now was like a reassurance, slowly relaxing the girl's tense nerves.

Mu Zhian gently held Bai Ruoxi's slender, boneless hand, raised his head and stared at her pale face, and said, "Ruoxi, can I ask you something?"

Her delicate hand was suddenly caught by someone, and she realized that Mu Zhian was staring at her closely. Bai Ruoxi lowered her eyes in embarrassment, with a shy luster in her beautiful peach blossom eyes, and whispered: "What's the matter?"

Mu Zhian asked seriously: "Do you have fox ears and a tail?"

Bai Ruoxi was slightly startled, looking at Mu Zhian with confusion in her eyes.

"Is this kind of thing...important?"

"Important, very important." Mu Zhian was very serious.

Whether she is a fox-eared girl or not is a very important matter.

Bai Ruoxi shook her head gently: "I don't know."

She hesitated for a moment, glanced at Mu Zhian, and said softly: "But I remember that I occasionally felt itchy on my head before. I wonder if it has something to do with the fox ears you mentioned..."

"That's it..."

Mu Zhian became somewhat interested. He sat next to Bai Ruoxi and leaned forward slightly, observing the girl's flawless face with curious eyes.

The girl's clothes couldn't cover up her plump breasts, and a hint of snow-white was faintly exposed in the sun.

Mu Zhian couldn't help but take a second look, which made Bai Ruoxi lower her eyes in even more embarrassment. She didn't even notice that the book she just held in her hand fell to the ground.

Compared with the cold attitude of "don't disturb strangers" when she first treated Mu Zhian, the girl who was in love obviously did not have such a psychological defense. She didn't even have any resistance when he was in such close contact with her, but she was a little shy in her heart. and overwhelmed.

"I didn't see any fox ears..." Mu Zhian muttered to himself, and the distance between the two of them had become very close unknowingly.

Being so intimate with a member of the opposite sex in front of the pavilion, Bai Ruoxi, who had never been in love before, couldn't help but feel ashamed in her heart, her face was shy, she turned her face away slightly, and pursed her lips tightly.

A strand of thin hair fell from her forehead and gently rested on her lightly flushed face. Looking from the side, she had a three-dimensional look like a mixed-race beauty.

Mu Zhian came closer again and kissed her snow-white jade neck gently, which made Bai Ruoxi's shoulders tremble subconsciously. She turned to look at Mu Zhian and said, "Have you finished observing? No matter how much you observe, you still can't." You’ll see fox ears——”

"Not yet, I'll take a look..." Mu Zhian didn't give up.

"Did I tell you..." As soon as Bai Ruoxi raised her head, she felt her lips being gently occupied by someone, and her heart suddenly felt hot. Her back was pressed against the stone pillar behind her, and slowly, her tense body gradually became tense. The ground softened.

…

After fooling around for a while, Mu Zhian sat on the stone chair under Ting Pavilion and sighed with contentment.

The ancients said that beautiful women are good for eating. I thought it was a lie, but now it seems...

The ancients do not deceive me.

Bai Ruoxi glanced at Mu Zhian secretly, her eyes full of resentment, she silently took out her handkerchief and wiped the remaining rouge on her lips.

Obviously when they first came into contact with him, Mu Zhian still looked like a gentleman. However, after the kiss yesterday, he seemed to have less and less scruples than before.

This is in the pavilion in the backyard. It would be embarrassing if a servant saw it.

Mu Zhian noticed Bai Ruoxi's resentful look, pretended not to notice it, coughed slightly, and said: "Let's go to the competition arena. Starting from the next two days, there should be many young monks in the city competing there."

"Maybe we can see some old acquaintances there?"

Bai Ruoxi took a deep look at Mu Zhian and nodded silently.

Thinking about it, now that the sect's examination is about to begin, all the young talents in Tianxuan City must be gearing up. There will be no shortage of competitions and competitions on weekdays. It's just a matter of going out to relax and calm down a little.

…

Yangfeng Inn.

This inn is located not far from the center of Tianxuan City. There is a teahouse not far from the inn. It is said to have a history of hundreds of years and there is an endless stream of guests every day.

Lan Mulian, who was wearing a moon-white dress, was sitting in a quiet and elegant tea room, rubbing the rim of the cup with her fingertips. She tilted her head slightly and looked casually at the competition platform in the distance.

On the competition stage, a rather handsome young man was sparring with a young man from Tianxuan City.

Lan Mulian did not hear the conversation between them, but judging from the fierce attacks between the two, it seemed that there must be some deep hatred.

The tall beauty sitting opposite was playing with the tea cup in her hand, sitting with her white legs crossed, her red cheongsam accentuating her seductive figure, and her charming and affectionate eyes looking straight at Lan Mu Lian.

The chief auctioneer of Chenxi Chamber of Commerce, Fei Ying.

"The location of this teahouse should be the best in Tianxuan City, and it is close to the competition stage. From here, my sister can see the competitions of young talents in Tianxuan City, and the subsequent sect assessments. I have an idea in my mind." Fei Ying said softly.

Lan MuLian nodded slightly.

This is a relatively quiet tea room, and there is no need to worry about the opinions of outsiders, so Lan Mulian also took off the gauze on her face.

Her face was extremely beautiful, but what was even more impressive were her eyes that were as cold as ice.

Of these two sisters, one is an iceberg beauty, while the other is enchanting.

If you take a closer look, you will find that Lan Mulian's appearance is very similar to Feiying's, but her temperament is different.

The most attractive thing is not their appearance, but their identities as sisters.

With the blessing of this identity, the meaning becomes completely different.

"That person is Ye Yu, a genius of the Ye family. Due to some reasons, his level plummeted and he became a waste. But this year, he returned to the peak of refining in less than half a year." Fei Ying said.

"It only took a few months to reach the peak of refining. Is it even just one step away from reaching the Qi realm..." Lan Mulian whispered to himself, with a hint of thinking in his eyes.

Such talent is indeed quite rare.

"But it's worth mentioning that a few days ago, it was said that Ye Yu had a sparring match with someone in the Dragon's Head Forest, and in the end Ye Yu was defeated miserably." Fei Ying gave up and wanted to hear her sister continue to ask.

However, Lan Mulian didn't seem interested. He just looked calmly at Ye Yu, who had just defeated a fellow monk in front of the competition stage, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Fei Ying held her cheeks up and unconsciously moved closer to the tea table, her heavy breasts gently pressing on the table.

She looked out the window at the competition stage casually, and then her eyes suddenly fell on Mu Zhian, who had just arrived at the competition stage not far away.

"Why is he here too?" Fei Ying suddenly muttered to herself.

Lan Mulian followed his sister's gaze and stared at it for a moment. There were ripples in his cold eyes. He turned to look at his sister and said in a cold voice:

"You know him?"
