So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Bai Ruoxi stood outside the Mu family mansion, staring blankly outside.

It was pouring rain, and the rain was hitting the ground with a crackling sound, and the ground was covered with white.

She was so angry with Ye Yu when she left just now that she forgot to bring her umbrella, but if she went back now, she might run into Mu Zhian again.

Young Master Mu had just been splashed with tea by Ye Yu. If she ran into him now, he might think of Ye Yu when he saw her, and then feel dissatisfied or something like that...

This is not impossible, because Mu Zhian was such a stingy guy in the past... Although there seems to be some change in the past two days, Bai Ruoxi is not sure whether this is Mu Zhian's disguise.

But if she leaves like this, she will probably be soaked like a drowned chicken... Bai Ruoxi looked at the heavy rain under the night sky with some hesitation.

"Ruoxi, let me take you there!"

At this time, Ye Yu, who had already left the Mu Mansion, turned back again. He stood at the door, raised his head and smiled, and stepped forward to hold Bai Ruoxi.

The background is a rainy night, and the characters are a girl without an umbrella and a boy holding an umbrella who had left but returned for the girl. In this situation, even the most hard-hearted person would soften a little and feel a little good.

However, the premise of all this is that there was no series of events that just happened in the Mu Mansion.

As soon as he saw Ye Yu, Bai Ruoxi was inexplicably angry, and immediately waved Ye Yu's hand away, saying coldly: "Master Ye, please respect yourself!"

Ye Yu was inexplicably unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't dare to get angry, just muttered: "You respect yourself when you come to the Mu Mansion in the middle of the night--"

Before she finished speaking, Bai Ruoxi suddenly raised her beautiful eyes and said coldly: "I came to Master Mu just for some important things. There is no relationship between us as you imagined. Believe it or not."

"Did he threaten you to come to the Mu Mansion?" Ye Yu asked immediately.

"Ruoxi, don't be fooled by Mu Zhian. You know what that guy's reputation is in Tianxuan City. Even if you agree to give him your body, he may not be able to help you or the Bai family in the future."

Bai Ruoxi raised her head suddenly and said coldly: "He has never threatened me."

Ye Yu frowned slightly and said with disdain: "If he didn't threaten you, why did you go to the Mu family at night? Did you come here voluntarily?"

The girl in front of him is the most beautiful woman in Tianxuan City. People who secretly like her can line up from inside the city to outside the city. In the past, Mu Zhian tried every means to pursue Bai Ruoxi. Everyone in Tianxuan City knew about this.

Ye Yu didn't think that Mu Zhian would take advantage of the situation and threaten Bai Ruoxi to do something.

Not to mention Mu Zhian, even Ye Yu himself would probably have some fantasies.

The sound of rain fell on the ground, and the whole street was hazy with white fog at night.

Bai Ruoxi stood in the rain, her mouth slightly open, but she couldn't say anything.

She really didn't want to say that she was forced to come to the Mu family by her mother.

Seeing this, Ye Yu was even more jealous.

That's absolutely right... Ruoxi might have been taken by the evil young man of the Mu family just now, but she was coerced by Mu Zhian, so she kept hesitating and refused to answer him.

Even Bai Ruoxi's attitude is so cold now, maybe Mu Zhian whispered something in her ear...

No, the Mu family is powerful, maybe she is afraid of implicating me, so she deliberately pretends to be indifferent in front of Mu Zhian... Ye Yu thought of this possibility, his eyes lit up a little, and the jealousy in his heart was slightly relieved.

He looked at Bai Ruoxi and said seriously: "Ruoxi, I am different now than before, give me half a year... No, just three months, I will definitely be able to step into the Qi training realm!"

He is the chosen son of heaven, the chosen son of heaven with great luck, and Tianxuan City is just his starting point.

Give him some time, and in the future, the entire Tianxuan City will not find anyone stronger than him.

Ye Yu has such confidence.

Because some time ago, he got a great opportunity...

"Three months? Can you enter the Qi training realm in three months?" Bai Ruoxi obviously didn't believe it.

Ye Yu showed a confident smile and said, "Want to bet?"

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly and said coldly, "No, whether it is true or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Ye Yu was stunned, and then forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about, Ruoxi, you are my fiancée-"

"That is the marriage contract made by my parents. If you want to get married, go find them."

The Ye family was also a big family at that time, and the Ye family had trade exchanges with the Bai family at that time. The two families hit it off and arranged a baby marriage for the two children.

It was just that she had never expected that the Ye family would fall from a first-tier family to a second-tier one. The head of the Bai family had never mentioned the cancellation of the engagement due to face issues, but both Bai's mother and Bai Ruoxi were dissatisfied with the engagement. The former thought that Ye Yu was not worthy of Bai Ruoxi now and wanted to find a better candidate for Bai Ruoxi.

The latter was simply dissatisfied with being arranged to be engaged just after she was born.

Bai Ruoxi ignored Ye Yu and strode into the rain.

"Miss Bai!"

At this time, the voice of the maid suddenly came from behind.

Bai Ruoxi looked back and saw the maid of the Mu family trotting forward with an umbrella, saying, "The young master said it would rain heavily tonight, so he asked me to bring an umbrella over. Miss Bai will find time to return the umbrella in the next two days."

Bai Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and then as if she thought of something, her beautiful eyes flashed with joy, and she took the umbrella handed by the maid.

"Thank you young master for me. I will send the umbrella back to the Mu family in the next two days."

The maid smiled and nodded in greeting, then turned around and returned to the Mufu Mansion holding an umbrella.

Bai Ruoxi didn't even look at Ye Yu, and walked into the rain curtain holding an umbrella.

Ye Yu looked at Bai Ruoxi's leaving figure and subconsciously stretched out his hand, making a gesture to retain her.

But slowly, the hand fell down feebly.

Now is not the time. If you practice for a while, Ruoxi will definitely change his mind after discovering that his talent has returned.

When the time comes, I will amaze everyone in Tianxuan City!

Ye Yu clenched his fists subconsciously.

The only thing he can do now is to endure.

…

Bai Ruoxi returned to the Bai family's mansion holding an umbrella. It was already late at night and there was not a single person in the mansion.

Bai Ruoxi walked through the corridor and passed her mother's room when a woman's gentle and pleasant voice came from the room: "Ruoxi, are you back so soon?"

"Come in and chat with me."

She just wanted to ask what I gained from going to the Mu family... Bai Ruoxi showed a cold smile and said softly: "I know, mother."

Opening the door, I saw a beautiful woman in pajamas. She was sitting on a chair, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her daughter, saying, "Have a cup of hot tea. Don't catch a cold."

"Thank you, mother." Bai Ruoxi took the tea and responded gently.

"Master Mu, is it over so soon?" Bai Yuanfeng asked in an ambiguous tone.

Sure enough, he was asking me about this... A hint of coldness flashed across Bai Ruoxi's beautiful eyes, and she said softly: "He didn't do anything to me."

Bai Yuanfeng's eyes changed slightly, and he said anxiously: "He still refused?"

"He didn't refuse... He asked me to find a time in the next two days to send the umbrella back." Bai Ruoxi said softly.

Bai Yuanfeng was slightly startled, and said worriedly: "This means giving him two more days to think about it... What exactly does Master Mu want?"

"I think it should be Tongmai Pill." When Bai Ruoxi said this, her eyes were full of complexity.

She finally realized that she had made a very serious mistake. Mu Zhian did like her in the past... maybe he likes her now too, but he was considering the interests of the Mu family as a whole and thought that if he wanted to help, he needed to get help. In exchange for Tongmai Pills, not her person.

As Mu Zhian said just now, she only moved his heart, not the Mu family's.

Recalling what Mu Zhian had just said in the hall, and the palm that gently squeezed her delicate hand, Bai Ruoxi's cheeks felt inexplicably hot, and her eyes flickered slightly.

"Ruoxi...?" Bai Yuanfeng tentatively called his daughter, who seemed to be in a daze.

Bai Ruoxi finally woke up from the trance just now, came back to her senses, and suddenly asked:

"By the way, is dad back?"

A few days ago, the head of the Bai family went to the auction house in Lincheng. It has been nearly three days now. Logically speaking, even if there was some delay on the way, he should be home.

Bai Yuanfeng was startled, and then gave his daughter a complicated look, as if it was difficult to speak.

Bai Ruoxi seemed to understand something, her face changed slightly, and she said, "Did something happen to dad?"

The beautiful woman sighed softly and said, "Your father was attacked on the way back and is now seriously injured. He was secretly sent to a safe place for treatment."

"However, even if I recover this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to break through the Void Return Realm for the rest of my life."

The patriarch of the Bai family is at the pinnacle of the realm of refining gods. He is only one step away from being able to refine gods and return to the void, and step into the realm of returning to the void.

However, he had been trapped by this barrier for six full years. This time, it took a lot of money from the Bai family to collect enough materials to refine a Tongmai Pill.

He originally wanted to use Tongmai Pill to take the opportunity to advance to the realm of returning to the virtual world, but unexpectedly, he was attacked and seriously injured on the way back to the clan.

Even if the head of the Bai family is cured this time, the root cause of his illness will remain, and there is no hope that he will be able to recover from his illness.

Bai Ruoxi was worried about her father for a moment. Then, she suddenly remembered something and looked up at Bai Yuanfeng: "Then the Tongmai Pill is useless at the moment?"

Tongmai Pill is an elixir that can only be used when refining the spirit and returning to the void. With the effect of Tongmai Pill, there is at least a 70% chance of being able to enter the state of returning to void. It can even withstand several thunderstorms during the period of maintaining the effect of the medicine. Punishment.

But if you are not a monk at the peak of the God Refining Realm, the Tongmai Pill will have no effect.

Bai Yuanfeng sighed softly and said: "I know what you mean, but Tongmai Pill is worth a thousand dollars, so it cannot be given to the Mu family."

The original Mu family is already very powerful. If the Mu family obtains the Tongmai Pill and someone from the Mu family uses the Tongmai Pill to enter the realm of returning to the void, the other families in Tianxuan City will be completely suppressed and unable to hold their heads up, and they will live forever in the Mu family. In the shadow of home.

This is not what Bai Yuanfeng wants to see.

Tongmai Pills are hard to exchange for a thousand pieces of gold, but your daughter can be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold... Bai Ruoxi said softly: "Mom, it's getting late, I'll go back to sleep first."

After saying that, Bai Ruoxi got up and returned to the room.

The next morning.

After Bai Ruoxi woke up, she looked sideways at the maid aside and said softly:

"Go and find out if Master Ye was attacked by someone last night."

Last night, Mu Zhian was poured with tea by Ye Yu, but he was still calm and calm. She wanted to know whether this was Mu Zhian pretending to be indifferent in front of her, or whether he secretly asked someone to teach Ye a lesson after that. Yu had a meal.

In the past, Mu Zhian was known for his strong desire for revenge, and he never waited for revenge. In addition, he had an extremely powerful personal maid, so few people dared to disrespect Mu Zhian, for fear of being taught a lesson by Wei Mengrou, the maid beside him.

Not long after, the maid returned to Bai Ruoxi's boudoir, knocked on the door gently, and said in a clear voice: "Miss, Master Ye is fine."

Bai Ruoxi sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, opened her lips slightly, and said calmly: "I know, you can leave first."

After saying that, Bai Ruoxi's beautiful eyes glowed slightly, and her palm gently placed on her towering chest, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.

It seems that Mu Zhian is really different from before.
