So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

In the teahouse.

Mu Zhian sat in a teahouse with a bright light. There was a window beside him. Looking down through the window, he could see the fighting arena below.

A closer look revealed that he was sitting in the teahouse where the sisters Lan Murian and Lan Feiying were last time.

"The view of this teahouse is really too good. It seems that my little action with Ruoxi in front of the fighting arena last time was really seen by my senior sister."

Mu Zhian looked down at the young monks who were still gathering in groups of three or two on the ground from the teahouse. He took a sip of the teacup in one hand and sighed in his heart.

He always felt that his luck was not particularly good. The excellent view of this teahouse was not known even to the locals of Tianxuan City. How could my senior sister accidentally come to this teahouse?

Also, according to her personality, after giving her the Liuguang soil, she should not have the desire to go to the auction house...but she still went.

It was really a bit strange.

Is it that the ‘supporting role’ deserves to have worse luck than normal people?

Mu Zhian raised his hand and opened his personal interface.

He suddenly discovered that the font color on the supporting role had changed again. This time the font color had turned into a light pink, and the box even had a faint heart shape.

“Sure enough, my guess should be correct. Every time Ye Yu’s luck as the chosen one is weakened, my supporting role proportion will be reduced.”

Mu Zhian secretly complained: “But the problem is that even if I reduce Ye Yu’s protagonist status, or in other words, his luck, can I still change my supporting role title to the protagonist?”

As a supporting role, Mu Zhian’s luck is born worse than others. Even if he has good talent, he will always encounter some unlucky things. After all, his existence at the beginning was just a stepping stone for the protagonist.

Only when Ye Yu falls, his luck can slowly improve.

The strategy of attacking Bai Ruoxi and the Ye sisters is a way to weaken Ye Yu’s protagonist status.

Of course, Mu Zhian himself is also interested in this.

Being able to combine one's tasks with one's interests is a good thing.

However... even if Ye Yu's luck is cut off, will his "supporting role" text change?

Or will the title of "supporting role" disappear?

Or will "Heavenly Dao" re-select a new "chosen son" as the protagonist?

Mu Zhian took a sip of tea from the teacup and shook his head secretly: "If so, won't I have to fight with the 'protagonist' all the time?"

But it doesn't matter, after all, there are so many wools to be pulled from each protagonist.

If you pull more wools, you don't know when you will finally be promoted to the Hedao realm with those huge resources?

Dongdong.

There was a slight knock on the door outside the house, and then a pleasant voice like a lark came from outside: "Mr. Mu, is it convenient for us to come in now?"

It was Ye Lingxuan.

They came quite early... Mu Zhian pondered, "Come in."

Pushing the door open, it seemed as if there was a faint fragrance coming towards him. Mu Zhian looked up and saw Ye Qian holding Ye Lingxuan's arm in his sight.

This pair of sisters, one is quiet and elegant, the other is pure and lovely.

In terms of appearance, Ye Lingxuan will definitely be a great beauty in the future, but her breasts are a little regrettable, but the girl's delicate and moving face and even the slightly white skin revealed by the small short boots can make people subconsciously ignore her shortcomings.

As long as she is beautiful, it's enough.

And Mu Zhian is not so picky, as long as they are in love.

Ye Qian's development is much better than her sister. If the two walk together, I'm afraid some people will think she is the sister.

This girl is more like a simple and cute school girl, which can be seen from the fact that she did not resist when Mu Zhian held her hand yesterday.

After inviting the two to sit down, Mu Zhian poured them a cup of hot tea.

Ye Lingxuan took out a light blue, round and shiny spiritual stone from her ring and placed it on the table.

"Mr. Mu, you don't have to pour the tea. I caused you a lot of trouble yesterday. Here are the two thousand spiritual stones I owe you."

After a pause, she continued, "Qian'er and I have something to do later, so we'll leave first."

Once the spiritual stone was returned, she and Mu Zhian were even. After all, the main purpose of her coming to the appointment today was to pay the money back.

Ye Qian's eyes moved slightly, and she subconsciously glanced at Ye Lingxuan, as if she didn't expect her sister to leave just after she came.

Mu Zhian glanced at the spiritual stone on the table, neither accepting nor refusing, and asked, "Is this what Ye Yu returned to you after he went back yesterday?"

Ye Lingxuan nodded reservedly, with a cold expression.

In fact, Ye Yu returned her 1,300 spiritual stones after he went back yesterday, and the reason was that he didn't have that much savings now.

However, Ye Yu also stated that as long as the money from his auction house was credited, he would be able to pay off the remaining 700 spiritual stones immediately.

In fact, Ye Lingxuan knew that Ye Yu should still have some savings, and it would not be difficult to pay off the two thousand spirit stones.

The reason why he only paid back 1,300 was not because he did not have the money, but he just wanted to use this method to emphasize his identity as an alchemist.

After all, there are only a few alchemists in the entire Tianxuan City.

But Ye Yu did not know that for Ye Lingxuan, alchemists were not rare.

"Mr. Mu, if there is nothing else, Qian'er and I will leave first."

After Ye Lingxuan finished speaking, he gently pulled Ye Qian's hand and stood up to leave.

Although I don't hate Mu Zhian, I'd better take this opportunity to cut off my relationship with him.

After all, when Qian'er mentioned Mu Zhian yesterday, her expression always felt a little strange... It's better to let Ye Qianshao get in touch with Mu Zhian.

After all, he already has Bai Ruoxi by his side... That Miss Bai looks elegant and has no bad intentions, but from the brief "fight" yesterday, Bai Ruoxi is obviously black.

Ye Qian is too simple. If she is not around, she may be bullied by Miss Bai.

Seeing that the two sisters were about to leave, Mu Zhian gently put down the teacup, looked up at Ye Qian, and said:

"Sister Qian'er, are you leaving just after you arrived?"

Ye Qian was about to follow her sister to leave when she paused slightly, obviously hesitating.

"Since you're here, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea? It's lonely to drink tea alone."

Ye Qian hesitated for a moment, looked at the purple-dressed girl in front of her, and said softly: "Sister, why don't you go back first..."

Ye Lingxuan: "..."

She immediately turned back and looked at her sister behind her without saying a word.

Then, noticing her sister's eyes with a little expectation and reluctance, she sighed in her heart and sat back in her original position without making a sound.

"Since Qian'er still wants to have a cup of tea before leaving, I'll sit for a while."

Mu Zhian smiled and poured a cup of tea for the two of them. After drinking a sip of the tea, he placed the round spirit stone on the table in front of Ye Lingxuan.

Ye Lingxuan gently held the teacup in her small hand, took a sip, looked at Mu Zhian calmly, and asked: "Mr. Mu, what does this mean?"

"I can't take this money." Mu Zhian said.

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ye Yu made you waste two thousand spirit stones yesterday. You can't waste this money."

She said this to distance herself from Mu Zhian and not to owe him a favor.

Mu Zhian took out a small wooden box from the ring, opened it, and smiled at Ye Lingxuan, "Do you think this thing is not worth the price?"

What appeared in the small wooden box was a root that looked as big as a bowl. The surface of the root was charred, as if it was struck by lightning.

It was the withered root that was auctioned at the Chenxi Auction House yesterday.

Ye Lingxuan glanced at it calmly and said, "It's worth it, but it's not worth it in your hands."

From what she said, she seemed to know the origin of this root...Mu Zhian humbly asked, "Why did Sister Lingxuan say that?"

"Can't this thing be restored with just the water of reincarnation?"

Ye Lingxuan said calmly, "The rumors about the water of reincarnation in the outside world are too exaggerated. It can't make the seriously injured recover quickly. At best, the first drinker can extend his life by a hundred years, and that's all."

"It's not that the water of reincarnation can restore this dragon whisker, but it needs to be soaked in a pool of water of reincarnation. After several months of immersion, it may be possible to restore it to its original appearance."

"If this dragon whisker falls into your hands, it will completely wither in less than half a year. By then, even the water of reincarnation can't save it."

So this thing is called the dragon whisker?

By the way, how could she know so clearly? It sounds just like Ye Lingxuan had drunk the water of reincarnation...

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, and immediately said: "Sister Lingxuan, do you have a way to make it recover?"

Ye Lingxuan hesitated and said: "Can I take a look at it?"

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "Please."

Ye Lingxuan reached out and took out the small piece of withered dragon whisker in the wooden box.

At this time, an unexpected scene happened.

When the dragon whisker was gently grasped by Ye Lingxuan, the originally withered roots seemed to be soaked, and the surface of the roots showed a smooth color.

A faint medicinal fragrance filled the tea room, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Ye Qian's eyes widened slightly, looking at her sister in surprise.

Mu Zhian was also a little surprised, staring at the dragon whisker that was emitting a faint light at this time.

When he went to Bai Ruoxi's room for dual cultivation last night, he had studied the dragon whisker and even gave it to Bai Ruoxi specifically to see if she could find any clues.

But the result was obvious. Whether in his hand or in Bai Ruoxi's, the Dragon Whisk had no reaction.

But now Ye Lingxuan easily activated its effect?

Ye Lingxuan put the Dragon Whisk back into the wooden box, raised his eyes and looked at Mu Zhian who was puzzled, and said: "This Dragon Whisk can only be slowly moisturized by an alchemist, and in the hands of ordinary people, it will completely wither in less than half a year."

"Then why can you directly activate its effect?"

Mu Zhian asked without shame: "Could it be that Sister Lingxuan is also an alchemist... and a gifted alchemist?"

"Sorry, this involves some secrets." Ye Lingxuan tactfully refused to answer.

If Ye Yu got the Dragon Whisk, he could only moisturize it, but Ye Lingxuan could directly use its power.

In fact, when Ye Lingxuan was at the auction house yesterday, she didn't know that this thing was the Dragon Whisk. It was only after she went back that Wei Lao, who was responsible for protecting her, heard about it and judged based on Ye Lingxuan's description that this seemingly waste medicinal material was probably the Dragon Whisk from ancient times.

Mu Zhian picked up the Dragon Whisk and tried to make it react like Ye Lingxuan just did, but it was useless.

As a result, all the wool I got from Ye Yu were precious items from ancient times, and I couldn’t use them myself...?

Mu Zhian felt that he seemed to be targeted by "Heavenly Dao".

The bronze piece and Heavenly Dao Qi I got last time were "golden fingers" that only Bai Ruoxi could use, and this time the Dragon Tengxu was limited to Ye Lingxuan... Then where is my golden finger?

When Mu Zhian thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

But it doesn't matter, there will always be opportunities to continue to get wool in the future... After all, Heavenly Dao will definitely find ways to favor the chosen one.

Mu Zhian slightly gathered his thoughts, and under Ye Lingxuan's gaze, he put the two thousand spirit stones on the table into the ring, and then pushed the wooden box in front of her.

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly and said, "What does Master Mu mean?"

"Since it would be a waste if I kept this thing, why not give it to Sister Lingxuan for safekeeping? If you repair the Dragon Whisk in the future, we will consider how to divide it. As for the two thousand spirit stones, just treat it as the safekeeping fee, how about it?" Mu Zhian said.

Ye Lingxuan hesitated for a moment, looked at the small wooden box on the table, and then looked at Mu Zhian.

For Ye Lingxuan, these two thousand spirit stones were nothing at all. Mu Zhian was almost giving her the Dragon Whisk for free.

The value of this thing can be maximized in her hands.

But she has just made it clear that as long as this thing is in the hands of the alchemist, at least it can be guaranteed that it will not die completely... In this case, he still gave the Dragon Whisk to her for safekeeping.

For two thousand spirit stones?

It is impossible to think about it. With the power of the Mu family, it is impossible to care about these two thousand spirit stones.

However... this thing does make her a little tempted.

After hesitating for a while, Ye Lingxuan finally nodded modestly and accepted Mu Zhian's proposal.

"I will bring you the repaired Dragon Whiskers after one year."

One year is enough to completely repair the Dragon Whiskers... and it is also enough for Ye Lingxuan to get a lot of benefits from the Dragon Whiskers in this year.

The atmosphere in the tea room is no longer as silent as it was at the beginning. Mu Zhian and the two chatted easily, and humorous words sometimes made the Ye sisters laugh. The atmosphere in the tea room has become particularly relaxed.

After an unknown period of time, Ye Lingxuan suddenly felt a voice transmission fall into her ears.

It is obvious that it should be that Mr. Wei wants to ask what is going on now.

Since returning to the auction house yesterday, Mr. Wei said that if possible, he hopes that his young lady can take the Dragon Whiskers away.

Originally, Ye Lingxuan had no intention of asking Mu Zhian about this, but she didn't expect Mu Zhian to take the initiative to hand the Dragon Whiskers to her.

Ye Lingxuan calmly put down the teacup and smiled, "The tea has become weak. I'll go downstairs and ask someone to come up and change the tea."

After that, she stood up and left the tea room gracefully.

Almost at the same time, Ye Yu, who was standing outside, felt his heart skip a beat. He immediately held his breath and quietly stepped back.

He stuck close to the door of another tea room next door until he saw Ye Lingxuan walking down the stairs in short boots and staring at the purple figure of the girl leaving. Then he quietly approached the tea room again.

With Mu Zhian's character, it is impossible for him not to take this opportunity to do something to Ye Qian.

When his cousin was bullied, it would be the best time for him to take action...

In the past, when Ye Qian and Ye Lingxuan called him brother Ye Yu, Ye Yu actually didn't feel much.

But when he really heard the sisters calling others "brother", Ye Yu finally felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

They should be my sisters. Why do Lingxuan and Qian'er call a useless young master of the Mu family who has been obsessed with beauty for many years "Brother Mu"? !

Ye Yu clenched his fists quietly, and his nails quietly dug into his palms. Recalling the laughter of Mu Zhian and his two sisters in the tea room just now, and the scene where Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian changed their words to call him "Brother Mu", the jealousy in his heart became even stronger.

Just as Ye Yu guessed, soon after Ye Lingxuan went downstairs, the conversation between the two was heard again in the tea room.

"Qian'er, are you still angry?" Mu Zhian had already walked to the seat where Ye Lingxuan had just sat, and turned his head to look at the beautiful girl next to him who was wearing a Luo skirt and looked pure and lovely.

"I'm not angry. After all, you have been pursuing Sister Ruoxi before. Now that lovers have finally become a couple, I can only wish you all the best." Ye Qian answered in a pleasant voice with a hint of nervousness.

Mu Zhian stared at her pretty face with burning eyes, and whispered: "Have you forgotten what happened in the private room of the auction house yesterday?"

Ye Qian recalled the scene of secretly holding hands with this boy in front of her beloved sister yesterday, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn red, but she felt an inexplicable excitement in her heart.

She whispered: "Mr. Mu, that's all in the past--"

Before she finished speaking, Mu Zhian gently held one of Ye Qian's little hands, stared at her, and said: "Can you call me Brother Mu?"

Ye Qian was like a little white rabbit forced into a corner with nowhere to escape. She was even more shy in her heart when she noticed Mu Zhian's burning eyes. She lowered her eyes slightly and never spoke.

Ye Yu outside was slightly relieved.

It seems that Ye Qian is still very smart and knows that Mu Zhian has bad intentions...

"...Brother Mu."

However, at this moment, a gentle voice with shyness and pleasant sound came from the tea room, which touched the softness deep in people's hearts, but also made Ye Yu's heart sink to the bottom.

"Qian'er is such a good child. Did you put rouge on your lips today? Can I taste it?"

"Don't, don't do this... Sister will be angry if she sees it."

"Love is free, Qian'er."

"Don't... um..."

When Ye Yu heard Ye Qian's resistance gradually become weaker, he could no longer bear it and pushed open the door.

Mu Zhian held Ye Qian's little hand with one hand and her waist with the other hand, staring at her, while Ye Qian raised her little face slightly, her cherry lips slightly opened, and she looked like she was ready to be picked.

Ye Yu's face sank, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Mu, what are you doing to my cousin?!"
