So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Hua'an Teahouse is located near Yangfeng Inn and is also close to the martial arts arena.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a luxurious robe is sitting in front of a clean and elegant pavilion outside the teahouse, stroking his beard and looking at the high platform below. Beside him is the acting patriarch of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Ping.

To be precise, it is the puppet patriarch pushed to the surface by Gongsun Xiong.

Not far from Gongsun Ping is the crude warrior, the patriarch of the Bai family, Bai Fu.

In addition, there are patriarchs or elders of nearly ten families in Tianxuan City.

After all, this is a sect assessment that takes place every few years, especially this year their descendants are also participating in the test, and all families are naturally very concerned about this matter.

"This nephew Mu is really interesting. Others either have black luck or ordinary luck, but he is so good that he actually tests pink light." Mr. Huang took a sip of the teacup and suddenly laughed.

"I have been traveling for many years, and even those with great luck have seen it several times, but I have never heard of this pink light before." The third elder of the Ye family stroked his beard and looked down at the high platform below, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

Father Bai did not speak, but stared at the pink light on the stone tablet with doubt.

How could there be my daughter's spiritual energy in this light...

It was obviously Mu Zhian who was testing the stone tablet, but he could feel Bai Ruoxi's spiritual energy from the stone tablet tested by Mu Zhian... This is a bit wrong.

Even if they really practiced dual cultivation, they should not leave spiritual energy in Mu Zhian's body.

"It seems that today's topic may be occupied by the eldest young master of the Mu family." An old man couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

I thought the test results of Ye Yu and Ye Lingxuan were already quite explosive news, but I never thought that Mu Zhian's test results were even more jaw-dropping.

"I'm afraid it may not be." Mr. Huang had a different opinion, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Have you forgotten Miss Wei from the Mu family and the genius girl from the Bai family?"

These two people are both in the Soul Refining Realm.

Wei Mengrou is so low-key that people almost subconsciously ignore her existence, but Mr. Huang is deeply impressed by this girl.

Firstly, she is almost always by Mu Zhian's side, and secondly, she has reached the Soul Refining Realm at this age, which can be said to be a genius among geniuses.

Even if Bai Ruoxi and Wei Mengrou are not mentioned, there is still a more explosive thing brewing.

Bai Ruoxi has a "demon spirit", which the four major forces in Tianxuan City all know.

If someone wants to make trouble after the end of the martial arts arena, this occasion is the most appropriate time.

This test is probably just an appetizer before the show starts.

……

At this moment, Mu Zhian is looking up at the stone tablet emitting pink light, and falls into a brief contemplation.

This is a bit embarrassing...Why is there pink luck?

He subconsciously looked at Lan Murian, hoping that the senior sister could give him an answer.

However, when he turned his head, he found that Lan Murian's eyes were as cold as a pond, and her cold eyes stared at him silently.

The senior sister's eyes were a little strange... Mu Zhian said: "Senior sister, what's the situation?"

Lan Murian said lightly: "It's not clear yet. It seems that your luck is a little different from others. I need to wait until I return to the sect to ask the master."

Even this sect's tester doesn't know? !

The cultivators in the audience were all shocked when they heard this, and their eyes looking at Mu Zhian also became a little more strange.

One of the bad habits of people is that when they see others living worse than themselves, they will feel more or less psychologically comforted.

Previously, when they saw Mu Zhian taking the test, the test monument was motionless, and many of them were a little gloating.

However, seeing the test monument light up with a pink light different from any time before, many people felt a little subtle.

At this time, a young man in the audience suddenly asked loudly: "Senior sister, I wonder how to decide the rating of Mu Zhian?"

Many people looked sideways. It was the third young master of the Sun family who was selected as the disciple for the assessment. His talent also surpassed his peers and he was also one of the rare geniuses.

This test can be said to be a test. According to the test results, Lan Murian will rank these disciples who went up the mountain to participate in the assessment in a comprehensive order from the first to the last.

At the moment, Mu Zhian's pink luck is really difficult to judge.

Lan Murian glanced at him and said calmly, "I have my own criteria for judging."

Ye Yu suddenly said, "Master Mu is only at the fourth level of Qi training, and this luck is unheard of. I am still very curious about what decision my senior sister will make. If Master Mu is placed before us, it will inevitably make people feel dissatisfied."

Mu Zhian sneered, "Then how about you be the person who will assess the sect?"

Ye Yu smiled slightly, "I am not very talented and knowledgeable, and I am not qualified to be the person who will assess the sect."

"Since you have a plan in mind, just shut up." Mu Zhian said.

Lan Murian couldn't help but chuckle, but quickly restrained it, maintaining a cold attitude: "I have my own choice in my heart on how to judge. If someone thinks it is unfair later, they can report to the head of the sect in the future."

"However," Lan Murian changed his tone and smiled, "Now how to decide should still be decided by me."

The underlying meaning of this is probably: Are you teaching me how to do things?

Ye Yu's face was ugly, but he couldn't find a reason to refute. Moreover, he didn't dare to get angry in front of Lan Murian, so he had to endure it.

However, it didn't matter.

Let Mu Zhian show off for a while, and the good show will be on in a while.

Senior sister is so domineering... Mu Zhian clapped his hands like a seal in his heart, and said, "Senior sister, since the test is over, I will go down first?"

Lan Murian said "hmm", and after Mu Zhian went down, his eyes fell directly on Wei Mengrou in the shadow of the corner.

"Miss Wei, it's your turn."

People's eyes followed Lan Murian's direction and looked in turn. It was not until then that they remembered that among the disciples participating in the sect assessment this time, there was also Mu Zhian's personal maid.

In those eyes, Wei Mengrou landed in front of the high platform.

She was tall and her long hair was scattered, slightly covering her eyes, making it difficult to see her face.

But even so, it is not difficult to judge from her back and even her temperament that this is a rare beauty, even if she is dressed very casually now.

Wei Mengrou stretched out her palm and touched the black stone tablet.

"Refining God Realm, fifth grade."

When Lan Murian's voice fell, the audience fell into a dead silence.

Even Lan Murian looked at Wei Mengrou twice more with some surprise.

She knew that Wei Mengrou was in the Refining God Realm, but because she had never fought with her, she did not know that the other party was actually a fifth grade of Refining God.

Judging from her age, she is probably only two or three years older than Mu Zhian... A fifth grade of Refining God Realm would be treated as a guest of honor in some families. It is really a bit strange that Wei Mengrou is so talented that she is willing to be a maid in someone else's family.

Wei Mengrou injected a ray of spiritual energy into the stone tablet. At this time, the black stone tablet suddenly surged with amazing black light, which rushed into the sky and enveloped the entire high platform in an instant.

"Bad luck?!"

The crowd of onlookers in the audience all stepped back subconsciously, their faces all changed color.

"What a pity, being able to reach the Soul Refining Realm at this age, the future is limitless, but I didn't expect that her luck would be so bad." Someone in the crowd suddenly said with regret.

"With such bad luck, just being with her will make you unlucky, right? What did the people in the Mu Mansion think, that they would let her protect the eldest young master of the Mu family..."

Being with people with good luck, your own luck will more or less improve.

Similarly, if you are with someone who exudes bad luck all over his body, you are likely to be affected.

"Maybe the Mu family has some way to suppress Wei Mengrou's bad luck, otherwise how dare they let her follow Mu Zhian?"

"But even so, the risk is still very high... Although this woman is top-notch in both appearance and strength..."

Wei Mengrou listened to the whispers in the audience expressionlessly, without any fluctuation on her face, and just glanced at Mu Zhian inadvertently.

Sensing Wei Mengrou's cold eyes, Mu Zhian grinned and waved to her.

Wei Mengrou curled her lips in disdain, walked down the platform silently, and was about to hide in the shadows.

However, at this time, Mu Zhian took the lead and grabbed Wei Mengrou's wrist, which made her body stiff slightly.

She turned her head to look at Mu Zhian and asked in a calm tone: "What are you doing?"

"You have been standing for so long, sit down and rest for a while." Mu Zhian smiled.

Wei Mengrou said lightly: "No need, I am with you, maybe it will affect your luck."

"You have been with me for so long before and nothing happened, how could there be any problem now?" Mu Zhian shook his head.

Seeing that Wei Mengrou didn't say anything, Mu Zhian took out a handkerchief, wiped the chair beside him, and said: "Come on, Sister Mengrou, you are welcome."

Wei Mengrou hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded gently and sat down next to Mu Zhian.

At the same time, the voices that were just discussing in secret disappeared tacitly.

Mu Zhian's action was actually to show that he was on Wei Mengrou's side.

Continuing to discuss Wei Mengrou's affairs would only offend the eldest young master of the Mu family.

Because of these few casual words and an action, Wei Mengrou's affairs only caused a ripple and then quietly calmed down. No one continued to discuss the matter, but watched the test disciples who came on stage one after another, while secretly comparing with other geniuses in their hearts.

"The eldest lady of the Bai family is here!"

At this time, someone suddenly noticed that a stream of light like a star lit up in the distant sky.

The stream of light came quickly, and Bai Ruoxi stepped on the flying sword and landed in front of the martial arts arena.

Her jade feet stepped on a pair of snow-white embroidered shoes, and the spiritual energy under her feet spread quietly like ripples.

She wore a white off-shoulder dress, and her undecorated straight long hair fell like a waterfall, slightly bent in front of her calves, and her cherry lips were slightly pursed.

That dress, pure but mixed with a little charm, coupled with the cool and elegant temperament, is the easiest for men to admire.

"Hello, senior sister." Bai Ruoxi smiled and spoke politely.

Lan Murian looked up at Bai Ruoxi and smiled lightly: "You came just in time, you are the only one left."

After testing Bai Ruoxi, the ranking of the disciples for this assessment can be decided.

Bai Ruoxi's appearance also made the atmosphere in the audience completely hot.

Whether in modern times or ancient times, beautiful women are a topic that people are keen to talk about.

Especially a beauty like Bai Ruoxi who has both strength and beauty.

In the past, one of the things that many people talked about after dinner in Tianxuan City was how to rank the beauties in Tianxuan City.

And Bai Ruoxi has always been the first place and cannot be shaken.

The only one who can barely compare with her in terms of appearance is Huang Manting from Chenxi Chamber of Commerce, but Huang Manting's figure is far inferior to Bai Ruoxi.

"Sister Ruoxi should be the first among her peers, right?" Ye Qian looked at the white-dressed beauty on the stage and suddenly whispered.

Ye Lingxuan pursed her lips and said softly: "Probably."

If Bai Ruoxi's next luck test has a red light or even a golden light, it will probably confirm her identity as the first among her peers.

"She is beautiful and powerful, no wonder your brother Mu likes her so much." Huang Manting looked at the Ye sisters with a smile, trying to add fuel to the fire.

Ye Qian seemed unhappy and whispered, "Sister Lingxuan is just young. If she were the same age as Sister Ruoxi, her strength would not be lower than hers."

Mu Zhian smiled lightly and said, "If sister Qian'er works hard to practice, I believe you will catch up with her in the future."

Ye Qian shook her head gently and said, "I can never compare to Sister Bai."

Although she said so, her eyebrows were obviously relaxed.

Looking at Ye Qian's cute face that could hardly hide her little joy, Huang Manting secretly "tsk"ed.

This Mu Zhian really knows how to grasp the girl's mind. He even pretended to be a pure and beautiful boy to tease her before...

Recalling the scene when Mu Zhian first visited the Dawn Chamber of Commerce that day, Huang Manting was furious.

At this time, Lan Mulian's crisp and cold voice suddenly came from the stage:

"First level of refining spirit."

And as her voice fell, a golden light fell from the sky!

The dazzling light was much brighter than Ye Lingxuan and Ye Yu, and it seemed to be wrapped with a faint colorful glow.

Lan Mulian looked at the weak beauty who was touching the stone tablet with her palm and slightly closed her eyes, and the stone tablet emitting golden light, and was silent in her heart.

It seems that Bai Ruoxi is undoubtedly the first among her peers.

The cultivators under the stage also showed an expression of expectation.

After all, the scene of Bai Ruoxi defeating Gongsun Cheng before was too impressive, and she was promoted to the Refining God Realm not long after that. It is not surprising that she is the first among her peers.

Strong strength and the first beauty of Tianxuan City, the blessing of these two identities made many people look at Bai Ruoxi with a little more admiration that was difficult to conceal.

It’s just a pity that Miss Bai seems to have a close relationship with the eldest young master of the Mu family... When thinking of this, many people felt a little regretful.

Bai Ruoxi slowly opened her eyes and turned to look in the direction of Mu Zhian. After the two looked at each other, a faint smile appeared on the girl's face.

This subtle movement was also seen by Ye Yu in the audience. Recalling that no matter how he tried to please her in the past, he was always responded coldly. Seeing Bai Ruoxi's sweet smile when facing Mu Zhian at this time, Ye Yu's imbalance in his heart finally made his jealousy burn uncontrollably, and he slowly stood up.

Bai Ruoxi bowed politely in the direction of Lan Murian, and then planned to leave the stage.

"Wait a minute!"

At this time, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded in the audience, and everyone looked sideways.

Ye Yu.

Mu Zhian was also a little surprised and looked at the handsome black-robed boy behind him.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Lan Murian looked at Ye Yu in the audience and asked.

"Has Senior Sister determined the ranking of the disciples for this assessment?" Ye Yu asked.

Lan Murian nodded silently.

The positions of the subsequent assessment disciples may need to be considered, but the candidate for the first place this time no longer needs to be considered.

"What if I say that there are demon cultivators among the disciples in this assessment?" Ye Yu suddenly asked.

In the stands not far away, many high-level cultivators from the families all showed a meaningful smile on their faces.

Mu Zhian narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head and chuckled secretly.

It seems that someone still can't help it...
