So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

The third prince Ning Long was born to Concubine Chen of the Dagan Dynasty. He was in the fifth rank of Qi training. In the past, like Mu Zhian, he was obsessed with beauty. The maids in the palace avoided him.

But because of his good looks and his status, he has had close relationships with many women over the years.

There are even some rumors in the palace that the third prince seems to have some special relationships with some concubines of the current emperor.

In the past, Ning Long also tried hard for the position of crown prince, but eventually lost to the second prince with excellent qualifications.

This also made Ning Long very embarrassed in this position. Although he was the third prince, the second prince was the current crown prince, and there was no possibility of comparison. The fourth prince, the fifth prince and others were all mediocre, neither good at literature nor martial arts.

He was very embarrassed, and he was stuck in this position, unable to go up or down.

After a few years of self-abandonment, Ning Long left the court this time simply to "gild" himself and make up for the losses caused by his past obsession with beauty.

However, Ning Long was inevitably moved when he saw such a pair of sisters just after entering the Trial Forest.

At this time, Gongsun Cheng, who was standing by, said with a gloomy face after the servant beside Ning Long explained the whole story, "Third Prince, the man just now was Mu Zhian from the Mu family. I am the real Gongsun Cheng!"

He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing just after meeting Mu Zhian and before he had time to take revenge.

At that time, the third prince was worried that Mu Zhian would take the Ye sisters and run away directly, so he was very decisive and asked someone to stop Gongsun Cheng, leaving him no chance to explain.

At this moment, Gongsun Cheng was angry, but because of the other party's identity, he still endured it.

Ning Long's face darkened, and he said coldly: "The eldest son of the Mu family dared to tease me?"

"This Mu Zhian used to be all-powerful in Tianxuan City, snatched Ye Yu's fiancee, and occupied his two sisters. He bullied the weak and feared the strong and did all kinds of evil." Gongsun Cheng raised his head and said: "My Gongsun family was also plotted against by him twice in Tianxuan City in the past. This time, I want to take revenge on him in the Trial Forest."

"Mu Zhian!" The third prince's voice suddenly rose a few points, turned his head and looked at the several attendants beside him, and said: "They should not be able to run far. You two go to the exit of the Trial Forest to guard, and the others will find their whereabouts with me."

As he said, his eyes fell on Gongsun Cheng again, and he said: "Since you are here to take revenge on Mu Zhian, why don't you follow me later? After catching him, you can do whatever you want."

Although in the sect assessment, those high-ranking chiefs and even elders will not allow anyone to kill, but it is still okay to let people suffer a little.

He hated Mu Zhian very much, but Ning Long had only one goal... that was the pair of sisters.

You want to take me as your younger brother...? Gongsun Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Forget it. My friends are used to freedom and don't like to work under others."

Immortal cultivation families are not afraid of the court, not to mention that in Liangyi Sect, even if the emperor of the world comes, his identity is just "disciple of the sect."

Gongsun Cheng is not a fool, and he will not take such a large group of people to be someone else's younger brother.

The third prince stared at Gongsun Cheng sharply, and finally nodded: "Then we will disperse and search for Mu Zhian's whereabouts."

...

At the same time, Ye Yu, who had just sneaked away in the chaos, was also looking for Mu Zhian's whereabouts.

There was an unknown anger burning in his heart. He practiced for so long for this day, wasn't it just to prove himself?

As a result, Mu Zhian took his two sisters away in front of him, like a cunning fox, and didn't confront him head-on.

Obviously, with his current strength, even a cultivator of the fifth level of Qi training can barely fight with him!

We must find them before the end of the sect assessment!

Ye Yu looked at the assessment disciples who appeared from time to time around him, and secretly made up his mind.

While the third prince was looking for people everywhere, a bonfire was quietly burning in a cold cave, lighting up the dark night.

In order to prevent the two sisters from catching a cold, Mu Zhian sat between Ye Qian and Ye Lingxuan, covering the three with his coat on his back to give them some warmth.

He turned his head slightly to look at his side. Ye Qian, who was in the age of a blooming girl, squatted in the corner of the wall with her knees hugged, revealing a small section of her snow-white calves, slightly messy hair against a delicate oval face, cherry lips slightly pursed, and a pair of crystal clear eyes reflecting the light of the bonfire.

Looking down a little bit, you can roughly see some mature and sexy scenes.

It is indeed big and white, far larger than her sister.

She consciously moved towards Mu Zhian, her eyelashes trembling slightly, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or fear.

At this moment, a warm palm quietly grasped her little hand, causing her shoulders to subconsciously tremble.

When Mu Zhian turned his head to look over, Ye Qian's face instantly flushed, a little embarrassed, and secretly glanced at the sister who seemed to be thinking about something and didn't notice this little action at all.

Then she lowered her eyes slightly, pretending not to care.

Mu Zhian glanced at the purple-dressed girl next to him who was in a daze.

She was the type of elegant and fresh girl, with a beautiful side profile, a thin and rosy mouth, and a straight nose. When she looked from the side, she looked like a three-dimensional mixed-race beauty, quite attractive.

Ye Lingxuan obviously noticed Mu Zhian's gaze, and seeing that he was staring at her, her eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly, and she whispered: "Mr. Mu, is there something wrong?"

Why can't you always call me brother when you are called Mr. Mu and brother Mu... Mu Zhian quietly held Ye Qian's soft little hand, shook his head and smiled: "Are you still cold?"

Ye Lingxuan smiled brightly and said, "No."

After all, he is a monk in the Qi training realm. After transferring the Qi into his body, he can keep out the cold. After all, when he reaches the Qi training realm, the influence of the external environment is not so great.

She opened her little mouth slightly, as if she wanted to ask something, but when she raised her head, she noticed that the eyes were staring at her fiercely. She felt a little ashamed for a moment, and finally turned her face away inadvertently.

Listening to the crackling sound of the campfire, after a while, Ye Lingxuan raised his head as if a jar had been broken, and looked at Mu Zhian: "I want to know what secret technique you used just now, and why you can bring us directly to this place. Where to come from?”

Ye Qian also silently raised his head to look at him.

She had read a lot of books in the Ye family in the past and knew that some secret techniques could indeed cause monks to teleport, but it was unheard of to take two people away at the same time.

"The secret technique can't do it to this extent, but there is a way to do it." Mu Zhian deliberately whetted his appetite.

Ye Lingxuan unconsciously straightened her sitting posture, straightened her back, and looked like she was listening attentively.

"I was sitting on the same cloud with Senior Sister Lan, so I entered the Forest of Trials earlier than others, and soon after that I discovered a certain formation..."

Mu Zhian briefly explained his previous experiences.

Ye Lingxuan looked at the neighbor brother in surprise, and quickly hid the surprise in her eyes.

Ye Qian's eyes lit up slightly, and the surprise and admiration in his eyes could not be concealed. He looked straight at Mu Zhian and said, "So, Brother Mu can now control the formations in the Forest of Trials?"

"It's possible, but not entirely possible." Mu Zhian said.

There was far more than one formation in the Forest of Trials, and the formation eye he saw was only the outermost one.

But just for this one, it would take at least three to five months to fully understand the mystery. The best he can do now is to roughly copy the gourd and simply use the formation in this night.

And every time you use those formations, you need to consume a lot of spiritual energy.

With Mu Zhian's current level 5 Qi Qi, the most he could do was use formations to teleport Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian to a nearby hiding place.

If you want to send them directly to the peak, even if the spiritual energy of Ye Qian and Ye Lingxuan combined is completely insufficient.

"Actually, the sect's assessment here at Canghai Peak is a bit unreasonable." Mu Zhian suddenly said.

Logically speaking, how can we let the monks participating in the assessment enter the Forest of Trials in groups and then leave them alone?

If everyone was like Gongsun Cheng and the third prince, who attracted a group of people when they came in, wouldn't all those lone rangers be bullied?

Ye Lingxuan said softly: "I heard Mr. Wei say not long ago that among the nine main peaks, Canghai Peak is the most mysterious one."

"Most of the disciples of Canghai Peak have never met the leader, and the content of the assessment seems to have always been the same and has never changed."

Warm reminder: If you find that clicking the next page will force you to jump to other websites, please use the "Chapter Error" or "Contact Us" at the bottom to inform us. We will handle it as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding!

"So, Canghai Peak's assessment is the most difficult?" Mu Zhian asked.

Ye Lingxuan shook his head slightly: "I don't know about this, but there are indeed fewer disciples at Canghai Peak than at other main peaks."

"The difficulty of such an assessment is indeed very difficult...climbing from the foot of the mountain to the top of Canghai Peak, can a Qi-training monk really do it?" Ye Qian said with some worry.

Moreover, the original difficulty of the assessment was already very difficult, plus there was the third prince outside who was constantly harassing them, and Gongsun Cheng and Ye Yu who wanted to cause trouble for Mu Zhian... When Ye Qianguang thought of this, he felt Full of worry.

Mu Zhian gently put his hand on Ye Qian's shoulder and said with a smile: "You guys should get some sleep first. I will send you to the mountain to report tomorrow."

Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian raised their heads almost at the same time.

"What are you going to do?" Ye Lingxuan's eyes were full of doubts.

She did not need to take the exam to join the sect directly, but she was worried about the sister she had grown up with, so she chose to take the sect exam together.

"Even if you know how to use formations, it's probably not possible to reach the top of the mountain together, right?" Ye Lingxuan continued.

"How about we make a bet?" Mu Zhian said with a smile.

"What are you betting on?" Ye Lingxuan asked.

"If I send you to the mountain to report tomorrow, you can play truth or dare with me afterwards."

Ye Lingxuan flashed her beautiful eyes and asked, "What is that...?"

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "It's just a game."

Ye Lingxuan hesitated for a moment and nodded gently: "Okay."

"What exactly do you want to do?" She still couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart.

"I can send myself to the peak. Similarly, if you share the pressure of the spiritual energy for me, it will not be difficult for the three of us to reach the peak together." Mu Zhian said.

"Even so, the Third Prince and Gongsun Cheng's people are still looking for us outside. If we activate the formation, we will definitely be noticed." Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly and said softly.

When they are noticed, those people will definitely stop them based on their character.

"Have you ever heard of a sentence?" Mu Zhian turned his head and looked at Ye Lingxuan.

"What?"

"Unity is strength." Mu Zhian grinned, revealing a smile as warm as spring breeze.

No words were spoken all night.

The afternoon of the next day.

Outside the Trial Forest, three monks stood in the air. The man looked like an immortal, and the girl with an oval face gave people a very stunning feeling at first sight.

If they were walking in the mortal world, I'm afraid no one would have thought that these three people have lived for hundreds of years.

The head of the Herbal Medicine Pavilion of Canghai Peak, Yi Huayun, put his hands behind his back, his face solemn, looking at the Trial Forest below, and sighed:

"Brother, how many disciples do you think can pass the assessment of Canghai Peak this time?"

The brother mentioned by Yi Huayun is the middle-aged man in a black robe, the head of Canghai Peak, Yi Hao.

He looked down at a bronze mirror in front of him, shook his head and sighed: "It's probably a blessing to have three or four people."

He paused and continued: "I don't know what the master is thinking. The sect assessment is held every few years, and only three or four disciples pass each time. If this continues, our Canghai Peak may be extinct."

Even though he was under great psychological pressure, Yi Hao was rarely in the mood to joke.

The formation of Canghai Peak was created by the master of this chief, the first generation chief.

The sect assessment was also done by that master.

In the first year of creating the assessment content, Yi Hao mentioned to the master that such an assessment content would be impossible for most Qi training disciples to complete.

However, the master did not listen to the advice, and after saying "Canghai Peak only accepts evildoers", he left with a wave of his sleeves.

That year, Yi Hao was eighteen, standing like a minion, with no right to speak at all, and could only listen to the master's words.

However, even though he has become the chief now, it is still difficult to change the situation, and he can only watch the number of disciples in Canghai Peak decrease year by year.

There should be no problem in the next few decades, but if it continues to be delayed, I am afraid that there will be fewer and fewer disciples in Canghai Peak in the future.

"If there are still only three or four people this year, the content and difficulty of the assessment must be changed before the next sect assessment." Yi Hao whispered to himself.

The difficulty of such an assessment is completely different from that of other main peaks, and it is unfair.

If it gets out, who will want to participate in the assessment of Canghai Peak in the future?

Going to other main peaks for assessment is less difficult, isn't it more attractive?

To put it simply, it is probably that the score tangent of Canghai Peak is higher than that of other main peaks, and it is more difficult to take the exam.

Yi Huayun glanced at his senior brother and sighed helplessly.

That being said, it may not be so easy to persuade the master.

At this time, the youngest sister among the three suddenly stared at the picture in the bronze mirror with doubt and said, "Strange... Why are all these assessment disciples gathered in one place?"

The two looked at it and found that the assessment disciples who were like a pile of loose sand yesterday and occasionally had frictions were moving towards a cave entrance this afternoon.

In front of the cave entrance, a fifth-grade assessment disciple was standing there, chatting with the assessment disciples who came one after another with a smile on his face.

Not far from him, a pair of top-notch sisters stood in the corner and looked at him.

It was obvious that these assessment disciples were attracted by this assessment disciple.

Yi Hao stared at the young man in the bronze mirror, with a bit of doubt in his eyes.

"How can a young cultivator of the fifth level of Qi training have such great appeal?"

"He is the eldest son of the Mu family in Tianxuan City, Mu Zhian. According to the list given by Junior Sister Lan, this person has amazing talent, but he was addicted to beauty and fell for a period of time in the past. Compared with his cultivation, his brain is a little brighter." The junior sister beside him explained in a low voice.

"Oh?"

Yi Hao became a little interested and couldn't help but look at Mu Zhian in the bronze mirror for a few more times.

To be praised by the genius junior sister, this Mu Zhian must have some extraordinary qualities.

Most of these disciples who participated in the assessment were descendants of the powerful and noble families in the court and the public, and their personalities were extremely arrogant.

When they entered the trial forest yesterday, they had a lot of friction with each other.

However, this Mu Zhian made them temporarily put aside their prejudices and gather together... From this point of view, he does have some skills.

However, what exactly do you want to do by gathering most of the assessment disciples in one place?

Yi Hao stared at the bronze mirror, his eyes flickering slightly.

After a while, he suddenly chuckled.

"It seems that this sect assessment won't be too boring."
