So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Mu Zhian went to his room, straightened his robes, and then tidied his hairstyle before heading towards the hall.

It wasn't to leave a good impression on the girl, but he was the representative of the Mu family in the eyes of outsiders, so he had to pay attention to his image.

Compared to younger people, Mu Zhian still prefers tolerant and generous sisters.

Not only are they kind-hearted, but they are also able to tolerate others and are gentle and considerate.

Mu Zhian stepped over the threshold and walked into the clean and elegant hall. However, the one who came into view was not the pure and sweet beautiful girl Ye Qian he saw yesterday, but another girl.

If I remember correctly, she seems to be a descendant of the Ye family... seems to be called Ye Lingxuan?

She was wearing a lavender double-breasted small dress, her already somewhat sizable chest was slightly bulging, her skirt was printed with violet patterns, and her hair was simply tied up with a jade hairpin, with a wisp of black hair hanging down.

Although she is still at the age of a young girl, it is not difficult to see from her side profile that this little beauty will probably be a stunning beauty when she grows up.

The Ye family actually has such a beautiful girl...?

Mu Zhian was a little surprised.

This girl's appearance is two or three points better than Ye Qian, whom I met yesterday. If she grows up completely in the future, she may be able to compete with Bai Ruoxi in terms of appearance.

"Ye Qian is ill today, so I came here for her. Mr. Mu, you won't mind, right?" Ye Lingxuan noticed the boy at the door, turned her head slightly to look at him, and smiled lightly.

That smile was pure and sweet, and people couldn't help but feel a little good at first sight.

She was guarding against me, and was quite wary of me... Although she was smiling lightly, Mu Zhian still noticed the hostility in Ye Lingxuan's eyes.

Although Ye Lingxuan's smile was pure and lovely at the moment, she was just a little girl after all, and could not completely hide her hostility.

"Health is important. Is Miss Ye Qian okay?" Mu Zhian smiled.

He sat down on the tea chair beside Ye Lingxuan and asked the maid to serve tea.

Ye Lingxuan smiled and nodded: "Let her rest for the next two days, her body should recover soon."

After that, Ye Lingxuan raised her slender hand, and a simple-looking ring on her slender finger quickly attracted Mu Zhian's attention.

Xuan-grade ring...?

No, this seemingly ordinary ring is actually a ground-grade ring... This small Ye family can actually produce a ground-grade ring?

Ye Lingxuan took out an exquisitely crafted sandalwood box from the ring and placed it on the table.

"This is the spiritual stone that Qian'er used to buy the Qi-training pills. The cost of the medicinal materials and the cost of refining the pills are all here."

Mu Zhian opened the sandalwood box and took a look, then shook his head and smiled: "Just the cost of the Qi-training pills is enough, the cost of refining the pills is not necessary."

"Miss Lingxuan should know that Mr. Ren of my Mu family is an alchemist, right? For him, refining a Qi-training pill is just a piece of cake."

After saying that, he took away half of the spiritual stone, and then returned the box containing the other half of the spiritual stone to Ye Lingxuan.

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly.

To be honest, she gave two fees because she didn't want Ye Qian to owe Mu Zhian a favor. If Mu Zhian used this to make a fuss in the future, the simple Ye Qian might fall into his clutches.

But seeing Mu Zhian's gentle smile and sincere eyes at this time, she couldn't refuse, so she had to silently take the box and put it back into the ring.

After a moment of silence, she broke the silence and said, "Mr. Mu, Qian'er is a very simple girl. If possible, please don't disturb her in the future."

Mu Zhian laughed dumbly: "I have never forced anyone in the past. You seem to have misunderstood me too deeply."

"Lingxuan doesn't care about Mr. Mu's affairs."

Ye Lingxuan changed her tone and said, "However, you asked Brother Ye Yu to go to the Dragon Head Forest and used him to encircle and suppress one of the demon cultivators under the seventh seat of Beizhou. Isn't this a fact?"

Mu Zhian's heart trembled. He took a sip of the teacup calmly and secretly looked at Ye Lingxuan, who was elegant and calm.

She even knew about the seventh seat. This girl doesn't seem to be as simple as imagined...

The Ye family can only be regarded as a second-tier force in Tianxuan City. At present, only Bai Yuanfeng and Mu Zhian know about the seventh seat.

Where did Ye Lingxuan get the news?

"In fact, I have no interest in the affairs of demon cultivators or even the affairs of the Seventh Seat. Lingxuan doesn't care what Master Mu's purpose is."

Ye Lingxuan took a sip of tea, put down the teacup gently, and said lightly: "I just hope that Master Mu will not disturb Qian'er."

"If possible, I also hope that there will be no conflict with Brother Ye Yu."

Your brother Ye Yu has become so crazy, it's not like I want to have any conflict with him. All he says to me all day is: Come to 1V1 solo, and call me dad if you lose...

Mu Zhian smiled and said: "I'm afraid this is not something I can decide. If you have asked, you should know that I have never taken the initiative to provoke Master Ye."

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly, obviously knowing that what Mu Zhian said was true.

She asked someone to investigate Mu Zhian's affairs, and also found out about several conflicts between Mu Zhian and Ye Yu. In all the conflicts, Ye Yu provoked first.

They are not right in this matter.

But... Brother Ye Yu's affairs don't matter.

As long as Qian'er won't be "cheated" by this person.

Ye Qian and she grew up together. To Ye Lingxuan, Ye Qian is like a younger sister.

As a sister, she naturally has to take care of her younger sister.

As for brother Ye Yu, she can help him if she can, but if not, she can't do anything.

Since Ye Yu became a waste, there has been no contact between them.

It's not that Ye Lingxuan or Ye Qian didn't communicate with Ye Yu, but Ye Yu, who became a waste at that time, was so inferior that he was almost autistic and refused to communicate with anyone.

It was not until this year when his talent returned that he slowly came out of autism and had some communication with the tribe members.

However, Ye Yu seemed to think that these people didn't want to pay attention to him when he became a waste, and it was a flattery to him to have some communication after his talent returned, so he often showed a cold attitude towards them.

Little did he know that it was not that everyone was snobbish, but that Ye Yu, who was completely autistic at that time, was completely unwilling to communicate with others, which led to the current situation.

From beginning to end, no one looked down on Ye Yu.

It was Ye Yu himself who looked down on himself at that time.

If possible, Ye Lingxuan naturally still hopes that the people who grew up together can live well, but during this period of time, Ye Yu has been obsessed with the matter of his fiancée breaking off the engagement.

Such repeated autism is naturally a bit annoying.

"If Miss Bai hadn't broken off the engagement, Brother Ye Yu wouldn't be like this now." Ye Lingxuan suddenly said.

Mu Zhian said with a "huh" and laughed: "Then if Miss Lingxuan, you are my fiancée, and you don't like me very much, would you want to marry me or break off the engagement?"

Who wouldn't just blame others for their mistakes?

But if something really happens to you, can you make the so-called "correct" choice in your own ideal?

Ye Lingxuan was silent for a long time.

After a long time, she held the teacup in her little hand, lowered her head slightly and looked at her toes, and said: "Sorry, it seems that I thought too simply."

Come to think of it, Bai Ruoxi's marriage was a baby marriage arranged by her parents when she was a child. Now that she has grown up, she doesn't want such a marriage and chooses to break off the engagement... Is it wrong?

Maybe it was wrong, but if this happened to her, she would make the same choice as Bai Ruoxi.

Which girl doesn't want to have a beautiful pink romance? No one wants to be arranged to marry someone from the beginning, and then follow the established path to the end, marrying someone they don't like.

Thinking of this, Ye Lingxuan felt relieved.

One of the reasons why she had a very bad impression of Mu Zhian was because Bai Ruoxi broke off the engagement.

But now that she thinks about it, Bai Ruoxi's behavior is understandable.

Ye Lingxuan raised her head slightly, her moist eyes stared at Mu Zhian, and said sincerely: "I benefited a lot from coming to Mu's house this time. Lingxuan has something to do later, so I will visit you another day."

She thought that Mu Zhian was a boastful and evil young man who was obsessed with beauty as the outside world rumored, but after today's contact... the rumors seemed to be just rumors.

At least Mu Zhian showed that he was more like a kind and gentle brother next door.

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "I'll take you out."

Although Ye Lingxuan was still a little wary of him, at least she was not as hostile as she was at the beginning.

That was enough.

Looking at the girl turning around and leaving gracefully, and her slender back, Mu Zhian thought for a moment, took out a snow lotus from the vase beside him, and followed slowly.

After sending her to the door of the Mu Mansion, Mu Zhian put the snow lotus in her hand.

Ye Lingxuan looked up at him in surprise.

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "Miss Lingxuan, don't worry about human feelings. The snow lotus represents loyalty and purity of feelings. I just think this flower is suitable for you."

This didn't sound like sweet talk, but just pure praise.

No one hates others' praise, and Ye Lingxuan is the same.

Her eyes softened a little, and she nodded slightly to Mu Zhian with reserve, walked down the stairs gracefully, and walked into the carriage.

When the carriage slowly drove away from the Mu Mansion, Mu Zhian retracted his gaze.

Ye Lingxuan was very smart and vigilant. A frivolous attitude or even a show of kindness to her would only cause the other party to be vigilant or even disgusted.

But if it penetrated silently like water, she would not be disgusted.

At least after today's contact, her hostility was not so great.

Moreover, Ye Lingxuan was so vigilant about herself... What about Ye Qian?

But this kind of thing can't be rushed, just proceed step by step.

Besides, in fact, Mu Zhian had no interest in beautiful girls, but simply wanted to test what the power behind Ye Lingxuan was.

From the words and deeds just now and even the information she knew, it can be confirmed that Ye Lingxuan is definitely not just a descendant of the Ye family.

Mu Zhian turned back to the mansion while thinking about such things.

When passing by the lotus pond, he paused slightly, thought for a while, stepped forward to pick a snow lotus, and then walked towards Bai Ruoxi's room.
