So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Mu Zhian opened the paper crane and noticed Bai Ruoxi's eyes staring at the paper crane, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

He knew that Lan Murian would not say anything ambiguous in this letter, so he agreed to read the letter with Bai Ruoxi.

Wei Mengrou could sense the evil spirit in Bai Ruoxi's body, how could Lan Murian not sense it?

Moreover, Lan Murian seemed to be angry or something in the past few days, and she didn't take the initiative to send a paper crane to Mu Zhian. How could it be such a coincidence that a paper crane was sent today?

If I guessed correctly, what was said in this letter might be related to Bai Ruoxi.

Mu Zhian opened the letter, and there was only one sentence on the letter: See you at Yangfeng Inn at noon today. I have questions for you about Bai Ruoxi.

As expected.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that Senior Sister does doubt your identity."

Bai Ruoxi looked worried and whispered, "What should I do?"

She didn't expect that she would encounter such a thing when she was promoted to the Soul Refining Realm.

"Actually, this is not all bad." Mu Zhian said.

"At least Senior Sister's letter did not show any hostility towards you, which is a good thing."

"And you will be promoted to the Soul Refining Realm sooner or later. It's better to be in Tianxuan City. What do you think will happen if you are in Liangyi Sect?" Mu Zhian used another way of comforting.

Bai Ruoxi's originally tangled expression eased a little.

It's not wrong to say that, at least she discovered this matter when she was undergoing the tribulation in Tianxuan City. If she encountered such a thing when she was undergoing the tribulation in Liangyi Sect...the nature would be completely different.

Mu Zhian put away the letter, looked up and down at the cold and weak beauty, and asked: "Now there is no trace of demonic energy in your body... Is it possible that demonic energy will only leak out when experiencing the heavenly tribulation?"

Bai Ruoxi shook her head gently: "In fact, I was too arrogant at the time and did not suppress my spiritual energy at all, otherwise this would not have happened."

She had never known that there was demonic energy in her body. Although Bai Yuanfeng was a three-tailed fox, from her current performance, it seemed that in addition to giving her daughter that stunning face, she did not pass on the characteristics of her demon clan to Bai Ruoxi.

No one would have thought that they would encounter such a thing at the end of the heavenly tribulation.

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and said: "So, if you want, you can completely suppress the demonic energy in the cauldron?"

Bai Ruoxi nodded slightly: "As long as you don't use the demonic energy, it will naturally not leak out."

The reason why her demonic energy leaked out outside the city gate just now was purely because the spiritual energy supply was insufficient after using the bronze sword continuously, and the bronze sword extracted the demonic energy in the cauldron, which caused the scene just now.

"Are you going to see my senior sister?" Bai Ruoxi suddenly asked.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "I have to go."

"If I can test my senior sister's reaction clearly, I won't be afraid of those people in Tianxuan City secretly telling on me." Mu Zhian continued.

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly and said softly: "If even the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce and the Gongsun family don't dare to tell on me... who else would dare to do it?"

"No family in Tianxuan City dares to do this."

Mu Zhian paused and smiled: "But some individuals, especially some idiots, dare to do anything when they go crazy."

Bai Ruoxi tilted his head slightly, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Who are you referring to? Gongsun Cheng...?"

"The Qi training realm can't see the trace of demonic energy you exuded at that time." Mu Zhian shook his head slowly.

Bai Ruoxi was puzzled. After thinking for a long time, he seemed to remember something. He slowly raised his head and looked at Mu Zhian, and whispered: "...Ye Yu?"

Ye Yu was only in the Qi training realm, but the old man in his body was still unclear.

But when he was in the Dragon Head Forest, he was already at the level of the Spirit Refining Realm when he possessed Ye Yu.

If it was Ye Yu, he might have noticed it at that time.

If he had mentioned this matter directly to Lan Murian...

Bai Ruoxi's little hand subconsciously grasped the hem of her skirt, with a bit of regret in her eyes.

If it was just her, it would be fine, but if this matter implicated the Bai family and Mu Zhian...

Mu Zhian slightly lowered his head and looked at the girl.

She was sitting on a chair, with a rather elegant and classical room in the background. Her white palace skirt exuded a snow-like awe-inspiring temperament, cold and noble, but also revealed a trace of pity for her weakness.

A warm palm gently placed on the back of Bai Ruoxi's hand, causing her to subconsciously raise her head and look at Mu Zhian in a daze.

"Instead of thinking about these things, it is better to meditate and practice." Mu Zhian showed a reassuring smile.

"Leave the rest to me."

...

Yangfeng Inn.

Mu Zhian arrived as promised and met Lan Murian in the clean and elegant guest room.

She was wearing a moon-white long dress that fit her personality, and her waterfall-like hair was simply tied up with a white hairband, with a strand of hair hanging down.

Cold and noble, with a beautiful face.

"You came quite on time. It seems that you value Miss Bai very much." Lan Murian smiled slightly.

"I usually like to go to appointments in advance, because I don't like to let others wait for me, and I don't like me to wait for others." Mu Zhian smiled and passed the matter lightly.

Lan Mulian nodded slightly, invited Mu Zhian to take a seat, and said, "Do you know why I came to see you?"

Mu Zhian nodded: "Senior sister told me in the letter."

Lan Mulian stared into Mu Zhian's eyes and said, "Bai Ruoxi, is she a demon cultivator?"

She added, "You don't have to hide it from me. Even if you lie, I can use the Qi-gazing technique to confirm Bai Ruoxi's identity later."

Sure enough, she noticed it. It's really worthy of Lan Mulian... Mu Zhian was silent for a moment, nodded, but shook his head.

"She is the child of a cultivator and a demon cultivator, but except for a trace of demonic energy, she has no connection with demon cultivators." Mu Zhian told the truth.

He thought carefully for a long time, and finally felt that there was no need to hide it from Lan Mulian.

As Lan Mulian said, if she suspected Bai Ruoxi, she could just use the Qi-gazing technique to test Bai Ruoxi's identity, and there was no need to call him over.

This was testing him as well as Bai Ruoxi.

If he lied, Lan Mulian would probably be completely disappointed in him.

And lying might not be useful.

Lan Murian didn't often use the Qi-Watching Technique, but Mu Zhian wasn't sure if she had used it before he came to detect whether he was lying.

Seeing that Lan Murian was silent, Mu Zhian continued: "How do you plan to deal with it, Senior Sister?"

"According to the rules of Liangyi Sect, anyone who secretly colludes with demon cultivators will be dealt with severely."

Lan Murian pondered for a moment and said softly: "But since she is not even a half-demon, let's just leave it alone."

"Rules are dead, but people are alive. This is what Master told me."

This sentence has explained everything.

Lan Murian's words may not count.

But if it comes from the words of the empress herself, it should count.

"Senior Sister, don't you plan to pursue it?" Mu Zhian tentatively confirmed it again.

Lan Murian looked at Mu Zhian deeply and said, "I can turn a blind eye for now, but if she harms someone in the future, I will kill her myself."

This was actually to cover up the shyness in her heart. I didn't expect that the senior sister was a little arrogant... Mu Zhian nodded gently and asked humbly: "Senior sister, is it true that every time she crosses the calamity, if... Miss Bai Ruoxi's demonic energy will overflow?"

Lan Murian shook her head gently: "In theory, as long as the demonic energy is hidden in the cauldron and not used, it will not be noticed by others."

"Bai Ruoxi's demonic energy will overflow today. I'm afraid she didn't know that there was demonic energy in her body in the past ten years?"

"Senior sister is really smart." Mu Zhian praised.

Senior sister's personality is the same as I guessed. It is indeed a cold-outside-hot-inside type. And she guessed the truth from just a few words. Such a smart woman, if I am lucky enough to marry senior sister in the future, it will be a great blessing... Mu Zhian was full of emotion.

"The sect assessment is coming soon. In addition to having fun every day, don't forget to meditate and practice." Lan Murian warned.

Mu Zhian nodded obediently and said, "I will follow the teachings of my senior sister. When I enter the sect in the future, I will do my best for my senior sister."

He seized the opportunity and immediately hugged my senior sister's thigh and licked it wildly.

Lan Murian raised her eyebrows slightly and said lightly, "I don't need you to do my best for me."

"Will I bring another osmanthus cake to my senior sister tomorrow?" Mu Zhian asked tentatively.

Lan Murian did not agree, but did not refuse, just picked up the teacup.

Mu Zhian understood and said, "I still have something to do. I will bother my senior sister tomorrow."

After leaving Yangfeng Inn, Mu Zhian did not return to the Mu family directly, but asked the spy to go to Gongsun's family, and he went to Chenxi Chamber of Commerce.

After waiting in the hall for a while, Mu Zhian met the gorgeously dressed businessman Mr. Huang.

Mr. Huang sat on the chair and brewed tea. Then he poured a cup of tea himself and handed it to Mu Zhian, saying with a smile: "Nephew Mu, you came to my Chenxi Chamber of Commerce in the middle of the day. Do you have something to say?"

Mu Zhian took a sip of tea calmly, and said in a riddle: "Uncle Huang, you are a smart man, you should know what I want you to do."

This sounds a bit like "those who understand will understand, and those who don't understand will not understand even if I say it", but for smart people like Mr. Huang, it will make them smart and make mistakes.

Mr. Huang's action of holding the teacup paused slightly, staring at Mu Zhian silently, thinking that his inner drama was quite sufficient.

After a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "Nephew Mu, I don't understand what you mean."

Mu Zhian smiled and took out a paper crane.

"It doesn't matter if Uncle Huang doesn't understand, but you should know who the owner of this paper crane is."

Mr. Huang's eyes were fixed on the paper crane.

The spiritual energy on the paper crane was the spiritual energy of Lan Murian, the person who was to be assessed by the sect this time.

He really had a complicated relationship with Lan Murian... Mr. Huang's eyes flickered slightly, and then he laughed twice, saying, "Nephew Mu, I told you before that the Dawn Chamber of Commerce is not interested in anything other than making money. You don't have to confirm this with your uncle."

"Uncle knows nothing and can't do anything." Mr. Huang assured.

Just as Mu Zhian guessed, businessmen pursue profits and will not do things that affect their own interests.

The Dawn Chamber of Commerce could not have failed to notice the calamity this morning. Mr. Huang knew everything, but he planned to pretend to be confused and make himself know nothing.

"Mr. Huang, in fact, my nephew has another worry. If possible, I hope you can help a little bit at that time."

When Mu Zhian said this, he looked at Mr. Huang's expression, which seemed to be not very interested, and continued: "Miss Huang and I have a good relationship. In the future, we can take care of each other in Liangyi Sect."

Mr. Huang narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled immediately: "Nephew Mu, just say it. With your relationship with my daughter, uncle will do his best."

Mu Zhian has a complicated relationship with the sect's examiner. Mr. Huang has only one daughter. If Mu Zhian can owe a favor to him, and then take care of Huang Manting in the sect, this is a deal with no loss at all.

"Uncle Huang is a smart man, and Uncle Gongsun is also a smart man."

Mu Zhian sighed and said, "But some people may not be so smart."

"If someone wants to do something bad to Ruoxi or harm her, I hope Uncle Huang can help a little and prove our innocence."

Mr. Huang cupped his hands and said, "With the relationship between Nephew Mu and me, this matter is easy to say."

The two chatted for a few more words, and Mu Zhian got up and planned to leave.

"Nephew, are you going to the Gongsun family next?" Mr. Huang personally escorted Mu Zhian to the door of the Chamber of Commerce and asked.

"I won't go to the Gongsun Mansion. I have just sent someone to take care of it. Everyone is smart and knows what to do." Mu Zhian smiled.

Everything was done properly.

Next, even if there are clowns who want to jump around, they are just simply trying to make people happy and laugh.
