So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Just one sword defeated Gongsun Cheng head-on!

Even though Mu Zhian had known that Bai Ruoxi was now extraordinary, he was still a little surprised.

He knew that the bronze sword brought a great bonus to Bai Ruoxi, but he didn't expect it to be so great.

"Master, are you okay?"

Not far away, two servants hurried forward to Gongsun Cheng's side.

Gongsun Cheng covered his chest and supported himself with difficulty with the help of two servants, but he almost stumbled and fell.

He felt the spiritual energy in his body was as chaotic as a raging sea, and he also noticed that several eyes were falling on him. He felt extremely ashamed in his heart and stared at the woman standing with a sword on her back.

"Miss Bai, the Bai family has just recovered a little in the past two days. Do you want to provoke a dispute between the Bai family and the Gongsun family again?!"

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly, stared at Gongsun Cheng, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Gongsun Cheng said coldly: "This is originally a matter between Master Mu and me. If you withdraw now, I can pretend that this matter has never happened."

With the return of Bai's father in the past two days, the Bai family seems to have signs of counterattack. Gongsun Cheng's words are actually just looking for a place to find a way out, and secondly, to suppress the arrogance of the Bai family.

Seeing Bai Ruoxi fall silent, Gongsun Cheng showed a sneer on his face and was about to continue speaking.

At this time, Mu Zhian suddenly smiled and said: "After being crushed by others, you started to use the family to suppress others?"

"Can you represent the entire Gongsun family?"

The Mu family has only recently delegated power to Mu Zhian, and there are several elders in the Refining God Realm in the family who are in seclusion. Once something happens, those elders can come out to clean up the mess.

But there are a total of six children of the Gongsun clan leader, and Gongsun Cheng ranks fourth. The competition in the clan is fierce. If Gongsun Cheng can represent the entire Gongsun family, it is naturally impossible.

In the final analysis, he was just a bully who was trying to scare people.

"If you are causing trouble outside, will Uncle Gongsun really break your legs if he knows about it?" Mu Zhian asked slowly.

Gongsun Xiong probably wants to keep a low profile and recover from his injuries. If he knew that Gongsun Cheng had offended the eldest young master of the Mu family, he would be scolded when he returned.

Gongsun Cheng obviously understood this, and just stared at Mu Zhian and said, "Young Master Mu, do you dare to compete with me?"

"I dare not." Mu Zhian spread his hands.

"In fact, there is no point in competing. Your eighth-grade Qi training is too watery. Being defeated by a sword of your peers really makes me lose interest." Mu Zhian added.

At this point, he seemed to remember something important. He tapped his palms and said with a concerned tone, "By the way, I still have some healing medicine in my house. I'll have someone send it to you in two days?"

Gongsun Cheng felt a sweetness in his throat and the blood in his body was boiling.

"Master, calm down. He is provoking you. If you get angry now, you will hurt yourself." The attendant on the side whispered.

Gongsun Cheng suppressed his inner anger and said coldly: "I recognize Miss Bai's strength. I am afraid that no one among her peers can beat her. But what does this have to do with you? A useless young master of the third level of Qi training is worthy of pointing fingers at me?"

Mu Zhian was not annoyed, but showed a gentle and elegant smile, saying: "I really can't beat Ruoxi, but you, an eighth level of Qi training, were also severely injured by a sword. What's the difference between you and me, a third level of Qi training?"

"Anyway, we are both beaten into a dog without a home, I can beat him."

Gongsun Cheng's chest was ignited with anger in an instant, and he burst out with an unconcealable murderous aura, staring at Mu Zhian's eyes.

"What's more..."

Mu Zhian seemed not to notice Gongsun Cheng's eyes, slightly turned his head to look at the beautiful woman next to him, who was now full of temperament, and gently held Bai Ruoxi's soft little hand under the wide eyes of everyone.

"Ruoxi and I don't have any deep hatred, right?" Mu Zhian turned his head and looked at her with a smile.

Countless eyes subconsciously fell on Bai Ruoxi. She just lowered her eyes slightly, with a light blush on her face, but she didn't push Mu Zhian's hand away or hit him with a sword as people hoped.

She just let Mu Zhian hold her hand in countless sour eyes, buried her face, and said "hmm" softly.

At that moment, everyone in front of the arena couldn't sit still. They felt itchy and wanted to kick Mu Zhian away and replace him.

Although it was already clear that the relationship between the two didn't seem to be that simple, when they saw Mu Zhian holding Bai Ruoxi's hand so openly, it was still a little hard to accept, and even had the same idea as Gongsun Cheng - teach this young master of the Mu family a lesson.

However, when they saw the girl beside him and remembered her identity, they calmed down, but they were all full of emotion.

"They are both in the Qi training realm, but they broke Gongsun Cheng's Golden Bell Buddha Power with just one sword... Miss Bai is probably invincible among her peers."

"Her skills are a bit strange, and she should not be able to use them repeatedly... But if she can use that bronze sword several times in a battle, who can stop her?"

"Alas, although the Bai family is now in decline, relying on Bai Ruoxi alone, they will probably have a high achievement in the future."

"I wonder who will be able to pursue such a woman in the future." Someone couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Just look at who is holding her hand now, and you will know?"

These words made all the male cultivators present a little bit nervous, so that the scene was silent for a long time.

"Why do I suddenly feel that Mu Zhian deserves a beating?" Suddenly someone whispered out people's thoughts.

"It's not that he deserves a beating, but that he deserves a beating when he stays with Miss Bai... I really want to smash his handsome face with a punch."

"You go and try?"

"What are you trying for? Why don't you go?" The man immediately snorted coldly.

The strength that Bai Ruoxi showed today was enough to make fellow cultivators fearful. Although they knew that the bronze sword behind her should not be reused, no one knew how many times she could use the bronze sword in a battle.

Besides, if he attacked the eldest young master of the Mu family in Tianxuan City, he would not want his life?

Gongsun Cheng was simply too impulsive, and he dared to be so reckless because he relied on the fact that the Mu family did not dare to launch a large-scale attack on the Gongsun family.

But he did not expect that this recklessness would cost him such a great price.

'The first genius of the Gongsun family was defeated by Bai Ruoxi's sword', if this matter spread out, Gongsun Cheng would not be able to raise his face in Tianxuan City in the future.

Even if he can join Liangyi Sect in the future, it will be a shame for his whole life.

The two servants of the Gongsun family also knew that they could not get any benefit here today, so they supported Gongsun Cheng and planned to leave.

"By the way, Master Gongsun."

Looking at the genius boy of the Gongsun family who was about to leave, Mu Zhian seemed to remember something important, and suddenly said: "I think I should go home more often than I worry about other people's affairs."

Gongsun Cheng stopped, turned his head and stared at Mu Zhian, and said: "What do you mean?"

"It means... it doesn't matter how strong you and I are, what's important is the base." Mu Zhian smiled.

Your home is almost gone, and you are still thinking about sparring with me 1V1, what are you thinking?

Looking at Mu Zhian's smile, for some reason, Gongsun Cheng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

When Gongsun Cheng left with difficulty under the help of his servants, Mu Zhian retracted his gaze, turned his head to the crowd, bowed his hands, and said:

"What happened today made you laugh. Ruoxi and I came here today just to see the competition of the younger generation, so we won't take up your time from now on."

Everyone also bowed their hands, which was considered to be a deal.

The eldest young master of the Mu family gave him face, so they naturally wouldn't give him any face.

After all, not everyone is like Gongsun Cheng and Ye Yu who don't get along with Mu Zhian.

Although it is a bit jealous to see Bai Ruoxi next to him...

The competition among the crowd continued, and the audience talked about what happened just now with relish.

Ye Yu, who was originally admired by everyone for his amazing talent, seemed to be dim and forgotten all of a sudden.

People no longer paid attention to Ye Yu defeating the Qi training cultivator with the strength of the peak of the refining essence, but began to discuss the matter of Bai Ruoxi and Mu Zhian.

After all, compared to a genius beauty like Bai Ruoxi, Ye Yu's talent seems to be a little dim.

In addition, a cultivator of the ninth level of Qi training and a playboy of the third level of Qi training are together... and the other party is Bai Ruoxi, this alone is enough to make people talk about it.

Mu Zhian took Bai Ruoxi's hand and walked to a nearby stone chair and sat down. The cold beauty in the past seemed shy and lovely at this time, and this shyness was only shown to Mu Zhian.

The sun quietly fell on the ground, and carriages passed by on the streets in the distance, and ancient buildings were located here.

Mu Zhian leaned against a stone chair to bask in the sun, holding Bai Ruoxi's slender white hand with one hand, looking at her sideways, and said with a smile: "Ruoxi, did you hide your tail secretly? Let it out for me to see?"

Bai Ruoxi, who was outside, was obviously much more reserved. She just shook her head gently and said: "I really don't have any tail or ears. Mr. Mu, don't make fun of me."

"I don't believe it unless you let me see it."

Bai Ruoxi rolled his eyes at Mu Zhian.

How else can he see it? The ears can be seen directly, but the tail...

"By the way, before the sect assessment begins, let's live in the Mu Mansion first." Mu Zhian suddenly said.

Joking should be moderate. If it really makes Bai Ruoxi unhappy, it will be more trouble than gain.

Bai Ruoxi hesitated and said: "Why do you want to live in the Mu Mansion...?"

Mu Zhian leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered: "The energy of the Heavenly Dao will purify the nearby spiritual energy, and at the same time it will also expose the demonic energy on your mother."

Bai Ruoxi's eyes slowly widened a little, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Mu Zhian.

"Really?"

"How do you think I discovered your mother's secret at that time?" Mu Zhian said.

No wonder he knew about my mother at that time. It turned out to be because of the energy of heaven... Bai Ruoxi was silent, so she nodded slightly.

"Then I'll trouble you during this period of time."

As soon as she said this, she felt that the boy was playing with her little hand, and her heart became even more ashamed. She raised her eyes and glanced around guiltily, confirming that no one noticed them, and then she was relieved.

Mu Zhian was so bold before he lived in the Mu Mansion. If he really lived in the Mu Mansion during this period of time, would he really not mess around?

Bai Ruoxi had a little worry in her heart.

Mu Zhian didn't know that Bai Ruoxi was worried about his "safety". At this time, he was holding the little hand of this beauty and playing with it, while looking up at the competition in front of the arena, very leisurely.

"Ye Yu, win!"

A clear voice came from the arena in the distance, which also attracted Mu Zhian's attention.

He raised his head slightly and looked.

Ye Yu, wearing a black robe, had just defeated another cultivator in the Qi training realm. Mu Zhian also recognized that person. If he remembered correctly, he should be a cultivator of the second level of Qi training.

This Ye Yu's strength seems to be a little stronger than before... Mu Zhian was thoughtful.

Just at this time, Ye Yu also noticed Mu Zhian's gaze, slightly turned his head to look over, raised the corner of his mouth, raised his thumb in the direction of Mu Zhian, and then slowly lowered it.

Mu Zhian, who did not dare to accept the challenge of a cultivator at the peak of the refining realm, was just this level... Even without thinking, one could guess the meaning of Ye Yu's action.

And for this low-level provocation, Mu Zhian naturally just laughed it off.

Under Ye Yu's gaze, Mu Zhian slightly turned his head, gently pushed aside Bai Ruoxi's hair on his forehead, and kissed the beautiful girl's pure and flawless face.

Then he raised his thumb to Ye Yu.

"Pattern", just like this.

"What are you doing..." Bai Ruoxi glared at Mu Zhian, sounding a little unhappy.

"It's okay, you're so cute that I can't help it." Mu Zhian held the girl's hand and soothed her softly.

Ye Yu on the stage froze slightly in place, staring at the scene blankly, without saying a word for a long time.

Until now, he couldn't figure out where he was worse than Mu Zhian... Even a discerning person could see that his talent was far superior to Mu Zhian, and his future achievements would even be higher than Mu Zhian.

But Bai Ruoxi still chose Mu Zhian instead of him... Ye Yu's fists clenched quietly, and a jealous fire in his heart burned uncontrollably.

"Brother Ye Yu, the elders of the clan asked you to return to the mansion, as if they had something to tell you."

At this time, a clear, sweet and pleasant voice suddenly came from the audience.

Mu Zhian looked over and saw a cute girl wearing a light blue double-breasted dress, a thin belt around her waist, long black hair hanging down in front of her slender waist, and a pair of deerskin boots on her feet.

In modern times, she would probably give people the impression of a pure and sweet girl.

If I remember correctly, it should be the daughter of the eldest elder of the Ye family, Ye Qian.

Ye Yu was obviously not in a good mood. After jumping down from the arena, he glanced at his cute cousin and said in a deep voice: "Do you know what it is?"

Ye Qian shook her head: "I don't know, the elders didn't say."

Ye Yu said "um" softly and turned away.

Ye Qian hesitated for a moment, looked at her cousin who was leaving, and suddenly said: "By the way, Brother Ye Yu, I remember you are an alchemist, right? I have reached the peak of refining essence. Can you help me refine a Qi-training pill later? I will pay you for the work and the materials."

Ye Yu did not answer, but said lightly: "Let's talk about it when we get back."

In the past, when he became a waste, Ye Qian's relationship with him had always been quite ordinary, until recently, the two of them had some exchanges, and coupled with the fact that he had just been broken by Mu Zhian's action, Ye Yu was naturally in no mood to chat with his cousin at this time.

Ye Qian looked up at Ye Yu's departing back, and couldn't help but lowered his head, with a hint of loss in his eyes.

If his cousin refused to help, he would have to ask the alchemist of Chenxi Auction House to do it for him later...

Although the price would be a little more expensive, if he wanted to ensure that he could break through the Qi-training realm, Qi-training pills were still very necessary.

Ye Qian sighed in his heart, walked towards the direction where Ye Yu left, and prepared to return to the Ye family.

At this moment, she suddenly saw a tall figure appear in front of her.

With soft hair and wearing luxurious robes, he looked as gentle as a gentleman, with a smile on his face.

For a young girl like Ye Qian who was just beginning to fall in love, Mu Zhian simply met all the fantasies of a young girl in love, so much so that her eyes could not help but stay on his face for a long time.

Then she came back to her senses, shook her head quickly, and said with a pair of deer-like clear eyes with a vigilant look: "Mr. Mu, what's the matter?"

She knew that her cousin and Mu Zhian did not get along well, and she was also aware of Mu Zhian's past behavior in Tianxuan City.

In the past, the elders of the clan reminded her more than once that she must not have any intimate exchanges with Mu Zhian.

Ye Qian always kept this in mind, so this was also her first face-to-face contact with Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian smiled: "Don't be nervous, Ye Yu and I are just personal grudges, don't be so vigilant against me."

Under Ye Qian's vigilant eyes, Mu Zhian took out a delicate little box from the ring and handed it to her.

What is this... Ye Qian frowned slightly, glanced at Mu Zhian, and opened the small box.

In the box was a round pill...it was the Qi-training pill!

"Mr. Mu, I can't take this." Ye Qian immediately returned the small box to Mu Zhian and firmly refused.

Mu Zhian kept a gentle smile: "If you don't want it now, you will still have to go to the auction house to buy the materials and find someone to refine it in two days, which will take a lot of time and money. I'm not giving this Qi-training pill to you, but selling it to you at the original price."

"As for the spirit stone, you can have someone send it to the Mu Mansion next time."

It seems that he is not as fierce as the rumors say, but a good person...? Ye Qian looked at Mu Zhian's gentle smile and the sincere look in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she finally took the Qi-training pill silently with both hands.

"I didn't bring any spiritual stones with me today. I'll bring the money to you tomorrow." After saying that, Ye Qian bowed slightly to Mu Zhian, holding the small box in both hands, and trotted away.

Her deerskin boots stepped on the ground, and her skirt fluttered gently with the breeze, and a little white skin on her thighs could be vaguely seen.

Mu Zhian looked at this scene, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Well... helping others really makes people feel better.

He retracted his gaze and sat down next to Bai Ruoxi, watching the young generation on the stage leisurely, and occasionally teasing the girl next to him, which was very pleasant.

...

In the teahouse.

"Sister, how do you feel about the performance of the young master of the Mu family this time?" Feiying asked with a smile.

Lan Mulian inadvertently retracted her gaze, and said in a light tone: "Very good."

"Good talent, very smart, as for character... it needs to be discussed, it is a good seedling."

After watching the competition this time, it was Ye Yu and Gongsun Cheng's performance that was a bit disappointing.

Although she has good talent, her character is really bad.

A true cultivator should not be so easily influenced by others.

"Where is Bai Ruoxi?" Feiying asked.

Lan Mulian was silent for a long time and said, "If the master sees her, he might have the idea of ​​accepting her as a disciple."

Based on Bai Ruoxi's performance just now, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is invincible among her peers... The power of that bronze sword, among the cultivators in the Qi training realm, I am afraid no one can take it head-on.

Feiying glanced at the Dawn Chamber of Commerce who had just come on stage on the competition stage, and smiled: "It seems that we have almost finished drinking this tea, why don't we go downstairs to take a look? Sister should also want to know the eldest lady of the Bai family in person, right?"

For some reason, when she said this, Feiying looked at her sister with a meaningful look.

Lan Mulian was unaware and took a sip of tea.

Then, she glanced at the beautiful girl in a white dress under the teahouse, nodded slightly, and said softly:

"Okay."
