So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

The next morning.

Lan Feiying brought one of Tianxuan City's specialty snacks to Yangfeng Inn and knocked on the guest room door.

"Sister, you don't seem to be in a good mood?" Lan Feiying looked doubtfully at this curvy sister and put down the snack in her hand.

Although Lan Mulian's face was veiled and she hadn't said a word yet, she was truly a sister. Lan Feiying seemed to have telepathy and immediately noticed something strange about her sister.

"Don't worry about it, it's just a trivial matter." Lan Mulian said calmly.

Lan Feiying couldn't help but glance at her sister twice, but she didn't think much about it. Her eyes quickly fell on the thin booklet on the table. Looking at the more than ten names circled on it, she couldn't help but say:

"It seems that my sister has decided on the number of disciples who will go to the sect for the assessment this time?"

Lan Mulian nodded slightly, closed the book, turned to look out the window, and said softly: "The number of people is basically determined, but the talent level of these people needs to be tested again in the end."

She turned to look at the enchanting woman behind her and said, "You also need to take a test."

…

Mufu!

Mu Zhian sat in the yard, looking at the pool of snow lotus, and yawned sleepily.

He didn't sleep well last night as usual.

It's not that he wanted to stay up late, it was just for the sake of Bai Ruoxi's state that he had no choice but to do a little double cultivation.

As for the process, it is not worth mentioning. Noble people disdain to understand it, and everyone who understands understands it, so I won’t go into details here.

"I hope Ye Yu won't cause trouble, I still want to get more out of him." Mu Zhi'an muttered quietly to himself.

He thought for a while, picked three more snow lotuses, and put each of them into the remaining three portions of Glazed Earth.

Although this snow lotus cannot be used now, there is no telling... will it be used in the future?

"Ha." Suddenly there was a cold ridicule from beside him. Mu Zhian raised his head and saw Wei Mengrou in a yellow dress standing next to him, with condescending disdain in her eyes.

Mu Zhian handed one of the snow lotus flowers to Wei Mengrou and said with a smile, "Sister Mengrou, this is for you."

Wei Mengrou said calmly: "No."

After saying that, he glanced at Mu Zhian again and continued: "It's okay if you only give it to me. If you give it to three people, this snow lotus has lost its original value."

Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "This snow lotus is different from the previous one."

Wei Mengrou said "ha": "It no longer represents loyalty to love?"

"This trip to the Liangyi Sect, Sister Mengrou's appearance will definitely attract the pursuit of many people. When the time comes to take out this snow lotus, they will know that Sister Mengrou is already famous and has an owner." Mu Zhian said .

"Not interested." Wei Mengrou refused again.

"Take it, even if you keep it as a souvenir, it's not bad, isn't it?" Mu Zhian stretched out his hand, gently took the maid's hand, and then placed the snow lotus in her hand.

"If Xuelian's matter is exposed, I will never help you." Wei Mengrou finally accepted Xuelian, but she did not forget to warn her.

She added: "Have you not learned your lesson from what happened at the auction house last time?"

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled: "What happened last time was purely an accident. If Ye Yu, that stupid young man, didn't yell that last thing to mock me, there would be no problem with my plan."

What's more, what happened to Xuelian was different from the last encounter.

Girls are reserved creatures. If someone they like or a good-looking person of the opposite sex gives them a flower, they will be happy, but they will not hold a flower and show it off to others.

Oh, it's possible if it's someone who loves vanity.

But neither Bai Ruoxi nor Lan Mulian is the kind of girl who loves vanity.

They will only keep this snow lotus, and every time they see the snow lotus, they will miss it.

Ye Lingxuan was still a little wary of him, and now she was as wary of him as she was of a thief, fearing that Mu Zhian would one day abduct Ye Qian.

Ye Lingxuan, who has an elegant nature, also won't go out of her way to show off this matter to others.

At most, he could just talk to his sister Ye Qian.

In this era, there is no such thing as a circle of friends, so there is no way to take a photo to express one's feelings.

If this can be detected, it can only be said that he is very unlucky.

Speaking of which, I have to find an opportunity to give Ye Qianduo a gift... Although the girl doesn't say anything on the surface, she will definitely be unhappy in her heart.

Mu Zhian couldn't help but think.

A waiter walked up in the distance, observed a few times secretly, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the atmosphere, he approached Mu Zhian and whispered:

"Young Master, news just came from the Yangfeng Inn. We will gather in front of the competition stage at the end of today. It seems that the sect assessor intends to test the talents of the disciples participating in the assessment."

Mu Zhian muttered: "I understand, go and have someone prepare the carriage, and I'll be there in a moment."

It seems that Senior Sister Lan is planning to give the disciples a "base test" to confirm how much these disciples weigh.

…

Even if you look at the entire Xianxia world, the Liangyi Sect in Dongzhou is the top force. Moreover, unlike most other forces, this sect is completely neutral and will not interfere in any competition between forces, even if it is The emperor of this dynasty could not order the Liangyi Sect to do anything.

This sect's status in Dongzhou is extremely sacred.

Because of this, almost every sect examination of the Liang Yi Sect will attract countless disciples who worship the mountain, including the heirs of dignitaries in the government and the public, princes and princesses, and even geniuses from various immortal cultivation families.

These immortal cultivating families in Tianxuan City are naturally one of them.

After Lan Mulian confirmed the number of people participating in the sect's assessment, he set the location for testing talents at the competition stage.

Soon after the news came out, the selected young monks went there one after another.

For a time, a lot of people gathered in front of the competition stage.

Many of them came to join in the fun after hearing the news, intending to see how these Tianxuan City geniuses performed.

After all, the person who can be selected by Lan Mulian is naturally the top genius in Tianxuan City.

At this moment, Huang Manting was sitting lazily on the chair, looking up at the young monks on the competition stage who were full of desire for performance, shaking her head and chuckling secretly.

Those who can be selected by Lan Mulian at least mean that they are the best among the young monks in Tianxuan City.

Now I want to compete on the competition stage before the talent test starts, just to show off to Lan Mulian.

But... Senior Sister Lan hasn't come yet, so why are they so anxious?

Just as Huang Manting thought of this, she suddenly seemed to feel something. She turned around and looked behind her. A carriage stopped near the competition stage, and then two beautiful girls jumped out of the carriage.

"Sister Lingxuan, and sister Qian'er, you are here really early." Huang Manting smiled and raised her hand and waved it gently.

In fact, in addition to Mu Zhian, Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian are also one of her preys. The maids in the family and even the follower Huang Manting are tired of playing with them. Now she is more targeting the geniuses of other families. On the body.

Among them, the slave he wanted to conquer the most was the eldest young master of the Mu family.

Ye Lingxuan smiled lightly and also said hello: "Sister Huang."

Huang Manting had a soft smile on her face and her mouth was slightly open, but she had not continued to speak. At this time, Ye Yu, who was not far away, saw the two sisters, his eyes brightened, and he walked towards them.

He took the initiative to say hello: "Lingxuan, Qian'er, what a coincidence. I was just planning to ask you to come over at Ye Mansion, but I didn't expect you to come out earlier."

Ye Qian shrank and ignored his cousin.

From that day on when she learned that Ye Yu was secretly following them, Ye Qian completely lost affection for this cousin.

Even though he was the genius of the Ye family, she was still disgusted with this kind of stalking behavior.

Ye Lingxuan calmly pulled Ye Qian to his side and said with a smile: "After all, today we are going to test the talents of the disciples participating in the assessment, so it is better to come here in advance."

There was already a bit of alienation in that smile.

Ye Yu didn't notice. He just pointed to the seat not far away and said, "It's hot today, why don't we go there to enjoy the cool air first? I think senior sister will be here soon."

"No, we and Sister Manting want to chat." Ye Lingxuan declined reservedly, then nodded politely to Ye Yu, took Ye Qian's hand, walked to sit next to Huang Manting.

They were indeed bewitched by Mu Zhian... Ye Yu looked at this scene with a slightly ugly face.

But having said that, and because he was not very familiar with Huang Manting, Ye Yu did not approach the three of them in the end, but chose a seat not far behind him to sit down.

"Can someone else sit in the seat next to you?"

At this time, a clear voice suddenly came out.

Ye Yu subconsciously raised his head, only to see Mu Zhian standing next to Ye Qian without knowing it, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Mu Zhian..."

Ye Yu stared at Mu Zhian, and then, his eyes subconsciously fell on Ye Qian.

There was a faint blush on her face. When Mu Zhian asked, she shook her head slightly and said shyly: "There is no one around. Brother Mu, you can sit down if you want."

Mu Zhian sat generously next to Ye Qian and said with a smile: "Sister Qian'er, and sister Lingxuan, good afternoon."

Huang Manting curled her lips and said, "Master Mu is so cruel, why don't you just say hello to me?"

Although he said this, there was no anger on his face.

What she said was a joke at best.

Why does he know everyone... Ye Yu stared at Mu Zhian and his back who was chatting and laughing with the three girls.

Huang Manting is the daughter of the president of the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce. Logically speaking, she has a very bad relationship with the Bai family. And Mu Zhian has been so close to Bai Ruoxi recently... why is he still socializing with Huang Manting? !

When Ye Yu thought of this, he subconsciously grasped the material of the black robe and suppressed the anger in his heart.

No matter how active Mu Zhian is now, it is just sensationalizing at best. When Senior Sister Lan arrives at the competition stage and tests the talents of the monks, they will know who is the "protagonist" of this sect assessment.

"He seems to be staring at you... His eyes are really scary." Huang Manting noticed the gaze from behind that was staring at you, and couldn't help but chuckled in a low voice.

Mu Zhian didn't look back, but when Ye Lingxuan wasn't paying attention, he gently touched the back of Ye Qian's hand, making the girl's cheeks feel hot.

Although it would be fun to bully a girl as elegant and noble as Ye Lingxuan, it is actually quite nice to bully a girl as pure and sweet as Ye Qian... Mu Zhian looked at Ye Qian's pretty face that was flushed with shyness, and unnoticedly withdrew his hand that had just been holding Ye Qian, and said with a smile:

"Ye Yu and I do have some grudges, but you don't have to pay attention to it. After all, this is a personal grudge and should not affect you."

In fact, Mu Zhian could roughly guess what Ye Yu was thinking.

It is easy to imagine that Ye Yu was forbearing. He thought he was gifted. When Lan Murian arrived, he thought that as long as he showed his talent, he would be able to make a big splash, shock everyone, and attract their attention and cheers.

But he didn't know that being able to communicate with others casually and even make people happy, this communication ability itself is also a talent.

What's more...could the talent of a genius be worse than that of others?

Mu Zhian shook his head and chuckled secretly.

"By the way, why don't you see Miss Bai?" Huang Manting suddenly asked.

The Ye sisters all looked at Mu Zhian silently.

Huang Manting is deliberately making trouble... Mu Zhian's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly replied: "She was just meditating and practicing, and she should be on her way now."

"By the way, after the talent test, if you don't mind, how about I invite you to Chaohai Inn for a cup of tea and a snack?" Mu Zhian quietly changed the subject.

Ye Qian's originally frowned brows relaxed a little, and Ye Lingxuan's face did not show any changes, but from her eyes, it can be roughly judged that her mood is slightly better.

The Ye sisters all nodded reservedly, and Huang Manting also showed a charming smile and said: "Okay~"

Mu Zhian smiled and said: "Then it's decided."

The Ye sisters are very simple girls. If Ye Yu had a higher emotional intelligence and was willing to spend some time, at least one of these two girls could be seduced.

However, now, Ye Yu could only watch this scene from behind in impotence and fury.

What on earth was "Heaven's Way" thinking? Why would it choose such a fool as the "Son of Heaven's Choice"... Mu Zhian shook his head secretly.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a shadow quietly covering him from behind, and a chill quietly came from behind.

Mu Zhian subconsciously turned his head to look, and Lan Murian was standing behind him without knowing when.

She was wearing a moon-white long dress, cold and elegant. Although she was wearing a veil, her figure and aloof temperament alone gave people infinite beautiful reverie.

"Senior sister." Ye Qian shouted crisply.

Lan Murian's voice was cold and crisp, with great texture: "What were you talking about just now?"

"Brother Mu invited us to go to Chaohai Inn for snacks later." Ye Qian said.

Ye Lingxuan suddenly said, "If you don't mind, let's go together then?"

Lan Murian turned her head to look at Mu Zhian, smiled slightly, and said, "It depends on what Mr. Mu wants."

Why does it feel that the look in Senior Sister's eyes just now is not as gentle as when she saw me yesterday... Mu Zhian smiled and nodded: "If Senior Sister is willing to accompany us, I naturally don't mind."

Mu Zhian paused, and then said, "But Senior Sister, aren't you busy? If you just want to have some snacks, I can buy some for you later..."

If there are too many people at the party, he is worried that he will not be able to control the situation.

However, Lan Murian looked at him meaningfully and said softly, "Not busy."

Why do I have a bad feeling...Mu Zhian looked at Lan Murian's beautiful back as she floated gently to the high stage, and felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart.

After the crowd in the audience found Lan Murian, they all quieted down, and countless eyes stared at this tall senior sister.

Lan Murian raised her hand slightly and took out a palm-sized stone tablet.

She raised her hand and made a gesture, and a golden light flashed across the sky and fell into the dark stone tablet.

At the same time, the stone tablet began to gradually enlarge, until finally, a two-meter-high dark stone tablet stood on the high platform, reflecting people's vision.

"When the palm touches this stone tablet, the luck and even talent of this person will be shown on the stone tablet."

Lan Murian glanced at the more than ten people present, noticed the fiery eyes in their eyes, and smiled: "Is there anyone who will come up and try first?"

Under the stage, Ye Yu quietly clenched his fists, with excitement in his eyes.

His chance to turn over has finally come!
