So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

"This is a bit difficult to deal with..."

Mu Zhian leaned against the courtyard in the middle of the night, looking at the three letters in his hand, and fell into a brief contemplation.

First of all, Bai Ruoxi's invitation must not be rejected again... Although the girl has a heart of the world, it is obviously a foolish thing to challenge her patience again and again.

As for Ye Lingxuan... Judging from the girl's vigilance towards herself at that time, this letter was either written by Ye Qian, or Ye Qian asked Ye Lingxuan to write it for her.

If Ye Qian were put in modern times, she would be the kind of naive school girl who had just entered school and was fascinated by the senior's words, and even had a good impression or even admiration.

And Ye Lingxuan's background is extremely mysterious. She has probably been used to all kinds of sweet talk since she was a child. She will not be moved just because Mu Zhian gave her a snow lotus and said some nice words.

At most, it will make her originally very bad impression of him a little better.

This invitation letter is also a rare opportunity to get along.

Although Mu Zhian had no interest in such a girl without a great heart, he was still a little curious about the power behind Ye Lingxuan.

Because once she passed the sect assessment, Ye Lingxuan would enter Liangyi Sect. With her beauty, she would probably attract a lot of suitors soon.

Then the question was, could she refuse Lan Mulian's invitation...?

She had been hiding in her "nest" like an ostrich before, and this time she finally took the initiative to go somewhere... If he refused her, he might not have such an opportunity to take his senior sister out in the future.

"It's not easy..."

Looking at the swaying snow lotus in the yard, Mu Zhian sighed.

He had given snow lotus to Bai Ruoxi and others before, which was naturally a well-considered action.

Bai Ruoxi was the kind of person who tended to be weak and cold, and she would not be competitive. If she was given snow lotus, she would not deliberately show it off.

Lan Murian is also cold and aloof, but compared to Bai Ruoxi, she is a reserved and noble person. Although she occasionally expresses the feelings of a little girl in her letters, she will not mention the snow lotus.

Moreover, the feelings between her and him are still very pure. Although there is a little ambiguity, it is far from the level of love between men and women.

As for Ye Lingxuan, let alone, the girl's opinion of him has not completely changed, and it is even more impossible for her to mention the snow lotus.

However...

Now all these people want to go to the Dawn Auction House in two days to bid for the Liuguang soil and preserve the snow lotus for a long time.

This is a big problem.

He can't refuse all these people, because they are all very high-quality fish. If he refuses, the fish may swim out of the pond.

But if all three of them accept... it seems a bit too busy.

Even a master of time management would have a hard time dealing with this... Mu Zhian thought of this, looked at the snow lotuses in the pond swaying in the wind under the soft moonlight, and couldn't help but sigh, saying:

"Sister Mengrou, why do you think our Mu family is planting snow lotuses?"

Beside him, the tall and charming Wei Mengrou quietly appeared from the shadows since some time, and glanced at him coldly: "If you hadn't picked the snow lotus in the yard and gave it away, would it have become like this now?"

When he said this, there seemed to be a hint of gloating in his cold tone in the past.

Mu Zhian looked up at her and noticed the contempt in the eyes of the maid. Instead of being annoyed, he smiled knowingly.

He imagined that if Wei Mengrou was like a maid, she would have to stand in front of him with her skirt lifted up by both hands under his order, staring at him with humiliation and contempt in her eyes...

Tsk tsk, just imagining that scene makes people's hearts beat.

Wei Mengrou said coldly: "Do you want to get close to the snow lotus in the pool?"

Did she realize that I had some thoughts about her...?

Mu Zhian was slightly startled, but soon he was relieved.

That's right, because of some things that happened to Wei Mengrou in the past, after entering the realm of soul refining, she could feel the malice of others more clearly.

However, he didn't have any malice towards Wei Mengrou.

He just simply imagined how the maid would react after teasing her.

Although this imagination is not very realistic now.

However, it may not be the case in the future.

Mu Zhian thought of this and suddenly said: "Sister Mengrou, you said this snow lotus..."

"This snow lotus represents loyalty and purity to feelings, very similar to me?" Wei Mengrou glanced at Mu Zhian lightly and asked.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled, "What I mean is, if this snow lotus is picked, how long will it take for it to wither?"

The time that the Mu Mansion has cultivated snow lotus is actually not that long, and Mu Zhian in the past didn't pay attention to this thing at all, so naturally he didn't know how long it would take for the snow lotus to wither.

Wei Mengrou thought for a moment after hearing this, and said, "It can be as short as five days, or as long as ten days."

Mu Zhian was slightly startled and said, "Are there any exceptions?"

Wei Mengrou shook her head and said, "At least none of the snow lotuses picked by the Mu Mansion withered in less than five days."

"That's a bit strange..."

Mu Zhian frowned slightly and said to himself, "I remember the snow lotus I gave to my senior sister a few days ago... I forgot the exact number of days, but it definitely didn't exceed five days."

But when he brought the second snow lotus to the inn, the snow lotus in the vase had already withered.

Is it related to the change of environment, or... the snow lotus was not given to Lan Murian by him, but the artificial snow lotus cultivated by Yangfeng Inn?

If so, where did the snow lotus that he gave to his senior sister go?

Wei Mengrou said lightly: "Since you regret it now, you shouldn't have given so many snow lotus to other girls."

Mu Zhian came back to his senses, nodded slightly, and said: "Indeed... I will only give snow lotus to Sister Mengrou in the future."

Wei Mengrou said "huh" and said lightly: "I don't need it."

She paused and continued: "If you want to pick it yourself, it's fine."

"The meaning is completely different." Mu Zhian said.

"What are you going to do now? Accept all four invitations?" Wei Mengrou asked.

Bai Ruoxi, Huang Manting, the Ye sisters, and Lan Murian, the examinee who came down from the mountain of Liangyi Sect, despised Mu Zhian's multi-threaded operation, but she was also curious about how Mu Zhian wanted to end it now.

"It's actually very simple, as long as you don't accept any of them." Mu Zhian smiled.

"Are you going to reject all of them?"

"No need to reject them." Mu Zhian published contradictory literature again.

"I really can't solve this problem,"

Mu Zhian raised his head and glanced at Wei Mengrou, but because of his great heart, it was difficult to see that delicate face.

He retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at the snow lotus in the pond, and smiled: "But I can solve the problem itself."
