So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

"A letter from Miss Huang...?"

Mu Zhian frowned slightly and looked at the attendant standing in front of him.

This little brother is not very sensible...Is this a place where we can talk? Just handing me a letter written by someone else so openly?

"By the way, Miss Huang's attendant asked me to bring a message." The silly attendant seemed to be unaware of anything and spoke again.

"Please don't miss the auction in two days. I will wait for him in the private room...These are Miss Huang's original words."

The yard suddenly became strangely quiet. A gust of evening breeze blew, and ripples appeared on the water surface in the yard. Snow lotuses swayed gently in the pool, showing their charming figure, and seemed to be mocking someone.

Are you really not sent by the Gongsun family to murder this young master? You have narrowed the road...Mu Zhian said in a deep voice: "I know, go down."

After the servants left the yard, Mu Zhian turned his head and looked at the two of them.

Bai Ruoxi looked disappointed and whispered, "It seems that you had a good chat with Miss Huang today."

This makes people feel like saying: You have a good relationship with the mistress you found outside.

Mu Zhian said helplessly: "Today, I went to the Dawn Chamber of Commerce purely for the three markets of the Gongsun family. As for chatting with Huang Manting, it was just to kill time. I can't just sit there in a daze and say nothing, right?"

Bai Ruoxi had a blank expression: "What about going to the auction with her in two days?"

You chatted with Huang Manting for the three markets of the Gongsun family, so what was the auction in two days for?

Seeing this, Mu Zhian wanted to hold Bai Ruoxi's little hand first, but she immediately retracted her hand and didn't give Mu Zhian a chance.

It is obvious that Miss Bai is unhappy now.

Mu Zhian looked at Wei Mengrou again.

Sensing Mu Zhian's gaze, Wei Mengrou was too lazy to even speak. She just glanced at Mu Zhian with a look of contempt, and turned around and quietly disappeared in the yard.

Sister Mengrou's eyes looked quite exciting... Mu Zhian silently looked at Wei Mengrou's leaving figure, thinking to himself.

Fortunately, Wei Mengrou was not the kind of jealous person. Although she was usually quiet and a little autistic, in general, the maid was still a very considerate and mature woman.

She would leave now just to give Mu Zhian and Bai Ruoxi a space to be alone.

If only Bai Ruoxi was here, it would be much easier to deal with.

Bai Ruoxi's personality, this woman, seemed cold on the outside, but in fact, she was very soft on the inside. This was actually not difficult to see from her heart... As long as she was given a reasonable explanation, she would not be angry.

Sensing that Bai Ruoxi's eyes were fixed on him, Mu Zhian took out the letter written by Huang Manting from his arms and handed it to Bai Ruoxi.

Bai Ruoxi tilted her head slightly, obviously confused, and said: "What does this mean...?"

Mu Zhian sighed softly and said: "Ruoxi, I know that you have been feeling insecure recently because of the changes in your family. I have indeed ignored your feelings."

"If you don't believe me, let's open the letter together and see what Miss Huang wrote."

Bai Ruoxi was obviously a little surprised. She raised her head and looked at Mu Zhian in surprise, saying: "Is it okay for me to read the contents of the letter together?"

Mu Zhian gently held Bai Ruoxi's soft little hand and said seriously: "As long as it can make you feel at ease, everything is worth it."

This time Bai Ruoxi did not break free, but just lowered her eyes shyly.

At the same time, Mu Zhian opened the letter, and as the words jumped onto the paper, Bai Ruoxi's eyes also curiously fell on the contents of the letter.

"Mr. Mu:

To be honest, before writing this letter, I had an urge to visit you directly at the Mu Mansion, but now I am a little calmer.

I have to admit that I underestimated you. Miss Bai's vision is not bad. Although you are only at the third level of Qi training, your brain is quite useful.

You visited the Dawn Chamber of Commerce specially to show the people of the Gongsun family. You took away three market towns, but you took all the benefits. But please rest assured that I have no intention of blaming Mr. Mu. On the contrary, I now appreciate Mr. Mu's actions more and more. After all, you are the first person to make Manting suffer.

Manting will wait for you in the private room of the Dawn Auction House the day after tomorrow afternoon. I hope Mr. Mu will do me a favor."

Even from the perspective of an observer, it is not difficult to see the gnashing of teeth in the letter. If you put yourself in his shoes, a playboy who is usually unlearned and unskilled visits you, and you treat him as a fool and tease him, but in the end you find that the fool is actually me...

Just thinking about it makes people's blood pressure rise suddenly.

If Mu Zhian wrote another letter to reply Huang Manting at this moment, it would be a real murder.

Bai Ruoxi looked at the contents of the letter, and then slightly turned his head to look at Mu Zhian, and said in a soft and pleasant voice: "Did you lie to her?"

For some reason, the eyes that were originally a little dark seemed to have regained some light, and even a little excited.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled: "I was just chatting with her, and I didn't lie to her about anything from beginning to end."

That's right, he just went to the Dawn Chamber of Commerce to chat with Miss Huang and satisfy her curiosity, that's all.

"Although that's true...but I really feel sorry for her." Bai Ruoxi sighed softly, "If a person as arrogant as Huang Manting finds out that she is being fooled around, I'm afraid she will be so angry that she can't sleep."

Mu Zhian turned his head and looked at Bai Ruoxi's almost perfect seductive profile, and smiled: "Since you sympathize with her, why are you still snickering?"

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly and said, "I'm not laughing."

After finishing speaking, he bit his lower lip gently, his face serious, as if he was trying hard to maintain his cold image.

However, recalling the content of the letter just now and Huang Manting's incompetent and furious appearance in the Morning Chamber of Commerce, Bai Ruoxi's brows relaxed involuntarily, and she felt particularly happy.

Mu Zhian was also in a good mood and gently hugged Bai Ruoxi's waist.

The most beautiful woman in Tianxuan City felt ashamed in her heart, but she did not break away. This situation was in sharp contrast to the aloofness she used to face Mu Zhian in the past.

And a crisis was resolved so easily.

"By the way, are you going to accompany her the day after tomorrow?" Bai Ruoxi suddenly asked.

Mu Zhian nodded and smiled: "If there's nothing else, it doesn't hurt to go there... I'm also curious about what other tricks Miss Huang wants to do."

Bai Ruoxi was not happy and whispered: "I also want to go to the auction."

Glazed Earth was not rare, but it was difficult to find near Tianxuan City. In order to preserve the snow lotus, she had to take a small handful of Glazed Earth no matter what.

The underlying meaning of these words was that she hoped that Mu Zhian could accompany her, and Mu Zhian naturally understood.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and smiled: "Okay, I will accompany you then."

As for Huang Manting, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I can go see her and leave when the time comes.

If you choose between Huang Manting and Bai Ruoxi, this is not a difficult multiple-choice question.

After all, the latter's popularity has completely crushed Huang Manting, and Mu Zhian currently has no thoughts about Huang Manting.

Feeling the warmth in the boy's arms, Bai Ruoxi's heart felt hot. She raised her eyes slightly and glanced at him. Then she moved her body so that her shoulders were close to Mu Zhian's. She leaned her head on his shoulder and made a smile at the corner of her mouth. A shallow arc.

…

Yangfeng Inn.

Lan Feiying sat on the bed and looked at her sister who was sitting at the desk writing a letter.

It was mid-autumn, and Lan Mulian was wearing a moon-white splendid dress, with a graceful curve on her back, and a ribbon outlining her slender waist. She had a cool and cold temperament. Although her appearance was extremely beautiful, most people would only think of her when they saw her. He felt inferior and dared not look up at her.

"Sister, are you writing a letter to the eldest young master of the Mu family?" Lan Feiying suddenly asked.

Lan Mulian's movement of writing the letter paused slightly. After a while, he said lightly "Yes" and said: "He wrote a letter, and the reply is just out of politeness."

"Oh~"

Fei Ying answered her sister in a subtle tone.

As Lan Mulian, she didn't believe that no one had written to her sister before, and she didn't see her sister replying to anyone.

Of course, as long as you know this kind of thing in your heart, Lan Feiying sees through it and doesn't say it out loud.

Her eyes casually fell on the unboxed osmanthus cake on the table, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile: "This osmanthus cake was also given to you by the eldest young master of the Mu family, right?"

"Well, you can try it if you like it. He said it is a famous pastry in Tianxuan City." Lan Mulian did not deny it.

"It is indeed quite famous. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake here tastes great. I occasionally go to Chaohai Inn to taste it in my spare time."

As Fei Ying spoke, her eyes casually fell on the snow-white lotus in a vase on the table.

"He also gave these flowers? Tsk tsk... It seems that that guy really likes his sister. But then again, my sister is already twenty-three years old this year, how much older than him, right? I didn't remember If I’m wrong, it seems that the eldest young master of the Mu family has only just graduated this year—”

She paused deliberately, and when she noticed her sister's eyes glancing over inadvertently, she curved her lips and continued: "But age is not important to monks, as long as they love each other, it is enough."

Lan Mulian glanced at her charming and affectionate sister coldly and said, "He and I don't have that kind of relationship."

After saying that, he ignored his sister.

Lan Feiying smiled sweetly, sat lazily on the chair, held her chin up, poured herself a cup of tea, and then took out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for evening snack.

Her eyes fell casually on the snow lotus beside her, and she suddenly said: "Speaking of which, our auction house has recently purchased a new batch of glazed soil. If my sister is interested, you can go and take a look at it then."

Glazed Earth is not a particularly rare thing, and Lan Feiying also knows that it is not difficult to get a batch of Glazed Earth as her sister.

But now Lan Mulian is still in Tianxuan City. By the time Lan Mulian goes back, the snow lotus given by Mu Zhian will probably have withered long ago.

"But I have to host the auction then, so I don't have time to take you there. If you don't know the way, maybe you can consider inviting him to take you there."

Lan Feiying continued with a smile: "At that time, I can arrange a separate private room for you where no one will disturb you. This way, sister will not have to worry about being uncomfortable with too many eyes focused on you."

Under the flickering candlelight, Lan Mulian's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, causing ripples in Gu Jing's Wubo mood.

Lan Feiying's proposal is indeed a bit heartwarming.

If she were in Liangyi Sect now, there would be plenty of ways to preserve the snow lotus forever, but the problem is that she is now in Tianxuan City. If she wants to extend the shelf life of the snow lotus, only Liuguang soil can do it.

And it is a bit unreasonable to stay in the inn every day when she rarely goes down the mountain early...

Looking at the folded paper crane, Lan Murian pondered for a long time, then spread it out again and wrote down an invitation to Mu Zhian.

At the same time, in Ye Mansion.

Under the hazy moonlight, Ye Qian, who had been meditating for a whole day, was holding Ye Lingxuan's arm, with her cute face close to her shoulders.

"Sister, how about we go to Chaohai Inn together next time? The osmanthus cake there tastes really good." Ye Qian suddenly said.

Ye Lingxuan glanced at the pure and lovely girl and said, "Is it because the osmanthus cake tastes good, or because it is the osmanthus cake sent by the eldest young master of the Mu family, so it tastes good?"

"What are you talking about, sister..." Ye Qian gently pushed Ye Lingxuan's arm, seeming unhappy.

Ye Lingxuan looked at her sister with a smile, and saw that her seemingly unhappy little face seemed a little shy, so she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

This sister who grew up with her was really too naive... She was actually bought by Mu Zhian with a Qi-training pill and a snack.

If she wasn't there, she might have been kidnapped by him in a few days.

"By the way, sister, there will be an auction in a few days. Why don't we go and have a look?" Ye Qian suddenly asked.

"I heard from the tribe that there will be a batch of Liuguang soil that can preserve flowers for a long time on the auction."

"You brought back such a beautiful snow lotus from the Mu Mansion. It would be a pity if it withered like this."

Ye Lingxuan pondered for a moment and nodded gently.

She originally planned to invite her sister to go together, but she didn't expect Ye Qian to speak first.

"But sister, do you know the rules of the auction?" Ye Qian asked.

In her impression, Ye Lingxuan seemed to have never been to any auction. Every time she wanted something, there would always be a mysterious person to bring it to her. Therefore, Ye Lingxuan never lacked anything, and naturally there was no need to go to the auction.

Ye Lingxuan shook her head slightly: "I don't know."

She paused, and suddenly said: "Let Brother Ye Yu take us?"

Ye Qian frowned slightly and whispered: "Sister decides."

Although she said so, she didn't seem very happy.

Ye Lingxuan saw her sister's reaction clearly. She changed her tone and said: "The eldest young master of the Mu family has nothing to do every day, or I will write a letter to invite him later?"

Ye Qian raised her head slightly and looked at her sister, her eyes shining, and said: "Won't this cause trouble for him?"

"..."

Ye Lingxuan was speechless for a moment, and silently glanced at the pure and innocent girl.

Although she always felt that Mu Zhian had ill intentions, seeing Ye Qian's completely different reactions when she mentioned Ye Yu and Mu Zhian, it was not easy to say bad things about him at the moment.

"I'll have my servants deliver a letter to him later." Ye Lingxuan sighed.

Well, Mu Zhian is a smart man. He has already been "intimidated" a little bit before, so he should know how to restrain himself.

Moreover, this snow lotus is extremely rare in Tianxuan City, so it's worthwhile to spend some time to cultivate it.

...

At night, Mu Zhian had just finished his meditation and practice, and contributed his own efforts to Bai Ruoxi's cultivation.

He sat in the moonlight in the backyard without any desires, holding his head with his hands against the stone pillar behind him, holding a paper crane he had just received in his hand, and seemed to be struggling with something.

At this time, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came from beside him.

The servant who delivered the letter during the day walked to his side.

"Why are you here again?" Mu Zhian frowned slightly.

The servant hesitated for a moment, then respectfully handed over a letter, saying, "The servant of the Ye Mansion just sent a letter, saying that it was a letter from Miss Ye Lingxuan of the Ye family."

Mu Zhian was startled, took the letter, and after asking the servant to leave, he opened the letter and took a look.

After a long silence, he silently opened the paper crane he had just received.

Then, he spread out three letters at the same time.

The first one was Huang Manting's invitation letter, and the second one was Lan Murian's paper crane letter today, which finally invited him to attend the auction of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce the day after tomorrow.

The third one was written by Ye Lingxuan, also inviting him to attend the auction.

Looking at the three invitations in front of him, thinking back to Bai Ruoxi's invitation tonight, Mu Zhian couldn't help but fall into a long contemplation.

"It's bad... I won't really fall over, right?"
