So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Mu Zhian left Yayuan and hurried in the direction pointed by Wei Mengrou.

Occasionally, you can see the assessment disciples entering the hall one after another, including those who took the assessment together at Canghai Peak. When they saw Mu Zhian, they all took the initiative to say hello.

Mu Zhian smiled and nodded, without stopping, he quickened his pace and finally saw the elegant purple figure standing in front of Yayuan.

Ye Lingxuan noticed Mu Zhian's presence, but looked up at him and ignored him, turned around and walked back to his house.

"Sister Lingxuan, please wait a moment!"

Mu Zhian stepped forward quickly to stop her, but Ye Lingxuan ignored her and instead quickened her pace, her skirts flying.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, blocking Ye Lingxuan's face.

Ye Lingxuan raised her delicate and attractive face and looked at the young man wearing a black robe with a gentle smile on his face and asked:

"Lingxuan, why do you look so unhappy? What happened?"

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly, but still nodded politely and said, "It's okay, I'm a little tired, and I plan to go back to my room to rest. Brother Ye Yu, can you let me go?"

Seeing Ye Lingxuan's somewhat tired look, Ye Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Okay, then I won't disturb your rest."

After all, Ye Lingxuan has already talked about this. If he continues to stop her at this time, I am afraid it will only make this sister disgusted.

When Ye Yu thought of this, he made way.

When Ye Lingxuan walked along the pavilion to the house behind him, Ye Yu turned to look at Mu Zhian who was about to catch up. Spiritual energy burst out from behind, blocking Mu Zhian in front of him, and said calmly:

"Master Mu, didn't you hear what Lingxuan just said? She is tired now and wants to rest. You'd better invite her back."

Being blocked by Ye Yu suddenly with spiritual energy, Mu Zhian was not annoyed. He looked up at Ye Yu with a smile: "Is this your home?"

"I plan to take a walk around here, do you still need to worry about it?"

With that said, he ignored Ye Yu and followed Ye Lingxuan.

"Even if you go now, she won't be able to care about you." Ye Yu sneered secretly, but when he saw Mu Zhian following the purple silhouette, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Yu followed closely.

Not long after, Mu Zhian followed Ye Lingxuan to a unique courtyard.

He didn't know how this hall was built. Every time he passed a path, it seemed like a different world.

The peach blossoms were in full bloom in the small courtyard, and the quiet fragrance was refreshing. Mu Zhian raised his head and looked at Ye Lingxuan and shouted: "Lingxuan, wait a minute!"

After saying that, he quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Lingxuan.

"Mr. Mu, I'm tired enough from participating in the sect's assessment today. I want to have a good rest. Please come back."

After saying that, she walked into the house, closed the door, and completely ignored Mu Zhian.

Ye Yu behind him saw this scene and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Eating from the bowl and looking into the pot, Mu Zhian deserved this!

Seeing that Mu Zhian walked to the door and knocked several times, but still got no response from Ye Lingxuan, Ye Yu finally felt relieved.

Staying here and disturbing him now will only make Lingxuan even more disgusted. This young master Mu seems to be really panicked this time, and he doesn't even understand this logic.

Ye Yu turned around and left quietly.

Mu Zhian knocked on the door again, and when he noticed there was no response from the room, he couldn't help but sigh: "Lingxuan, do you not want to see me, or do you hate me?"

"I have nothing to dislike Mr. Mu, I'm just tired and want to rest." Ye Lingxuan responded in a calm voice.

"Mr. Wei, please ask him to get out."

After the words fell, an old man wearing a black robe appeared in front of Mu Zhian, with a smile on his face and said: "Little friend Mu, please come back, my lady is tired today. , don’t want to see anyone.”

Mu Zhian was "driven" out of the courtyard by Mr. Wei. He stopped abruptly, turned to look at the old man behind him, and said, "You are the attendant next to sister Lingxuan, right? However, non-sect members are not allowed in Liangyi Sect. Can the disciples come in?"

"I'm not worried about Miss, so I secretly followed you over to take a look. I'll be going back in a few days." Mr. Wei said slowly.

In fact, the leaders and elders turned a blind eye to his affairs in the Liang Yi Sect.

However, even the attendants around Ye Lingxuan could not stay in Liangyi Sect for long.

Liang Yi Sect gave him this face, so he also had to give him face.

"From now on, my young lady will have to trouble you, Little Friend Mu, to take care of her more."

Hearing this, Mu Zhian showed a helpless smile on his face: "If it becomes like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get close to sister Lingxuan in the future..."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Wei changed his face at the speed of light, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Little friend Mu, I have been traveling in this world for decades and have eaten more salt than you have eaten. Do you really think that I am one of those inexperienced people?" A stupid girl who falls in love easily?"

Are you calling your lady stupid in disguise... Mu Zhi'an cupped his hand and said, "Junior, I will take good care of sister Lingxuan from now on, but I have to trouble senior to let me stay here for the time being."

Mr. Wei waved his hand and signaled Mu Zhian to get over quickly.

Mu Zhian rushed into the yard quickly, came to the door of Ye Lingxuan's room, and knocked on the door again: "Sister Lingxuan, can I come in?"

After a moment of silence in the room, Ye Lingxuan's cold voice came: "Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that I was tired today and didn't want to see anyone?"

Mu Zhian sighed softly and said, "Sister Lingxuan, I know you are in a bad mood today, but if possible, I still hope you can listen to my explanation."

There was no sound in the room until a moment later, Ye Lingxuan opened the window, glanced at Mu Zhian lightly, and said, "Mr. Mu, I'm really tired today, so please come back."

His tone was extremely indifferent. After he finished speaking, he turned back to the room and ignored Mu Zhian.

If you were an ordinary person, you would probably have left worrying about gains and losses at this time.

But Mu Zhian was not disappointed. Looking at the open window, he felt a little happy.

A girl closes a door for you, but at the same time opens a window for you.

If you don't understand what she means, you're an idiot.

The so-called "I want to rest when I'm tired and don't want others to disturb me", I'm afraid only Ye Yu would believe this.

When a girl feels wronged, it is precisely when her psychological defense is at its weakest.

From the moment she opened the window, Ye Lingxuan had subconsciously acquiesced that she would listen to Mu Zhian's explanation.

Without hesitation, Mu Zhian climbed through the window and entered the house, just in time to see Ye Lingxuan sitting quietly on the bedside, with an elegant temperament and a somewhat annoyed look on her snow-white cheeks.

At her feet, a pure and flawless snow lotus was thrown to the ground, apparently just now.

This was something she had never seen before, and it was enough to imagine how angry this incident made her.

However, this kind of annoyance actually made her look more humane, rather than overly so, like a high-ranking goddess who was difficult to approach.

Seeing that Ye Lingxuan didn't say anything to drive him out after he entered the house, Mu Zhian knew that there was indeed something going on. He stepped forward to Ye Lingxuan's side, looked at the pretty face, and said, "Sister Lingxuan is here." angry?"

When Ye Lingxuan saw Mu Zhian speaking, he immediately turned his head and looked over, and said coldly: "Mr. Mu, if you have anything to say, please explain it directly. I will take a rest after that."

She knew in the past that this guy Mu Zhian had evil intentions towards her and wanted to have his hands on both sides.

It's just that those thoughts were subconscious, and Ye Lingxuan couldn't help but avoid this fact.

However, today's incident with Xuelian brought all the things she had hidden in her subconscious to the forefront. Even if she originally planned to avoid these things, she can't avoid them now.

Realizing that Mu Zhian was staring directly at her, Ye Lingxuan didn't want to look at him, so she turned away, leaving only Mu Zhian's beautiful profile.

"Sister Lingxuan, in fact, I have always thought that Xuelian and you are a good match." Mu Zhian suddenly sighed softly, walked to her and sat down next to her.

Ye Lingxuan said calmly: "Mr. Mu, just use this to deceive those little girls who are not familiar with the world. What did you say in front of the hall just now? Have you forgotten it?"

Not long ago, Mu Zhian just said that Xuelian and Bai Ruoxi were more suitable, and now he suddenly said that Xuelian is more suitable for her. Only a fool would believe this.

"Perhaps Sister Lingxuan thinks I'm a playboy with two legs." Mu Zhian sighed softly, "Actually, the facts are in front of me, and I have nothing to say."

He bent down slightly and picked up the snow lotus that was thrown on the ground.

"However, I do think this snow lotus is a perfect match for you, so just accept it. Maybe after this, I won't be able to give you any more gifts."

"After a while, I might be labeled a traitor." Mu Zhian sighed.

Ye Lingxuan originally didn't want to talk to him, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but froze. She subconsciously looked at Mu Zhian and said, "What did you mean by just now?"

Mu Zhian did not speak, but gently patted the dust on the snow lotus and said, "The snow lotus is very similar to sister Lingxuan, but Ruoxi is also very similar to her."

"I had a battle with your brother Ye Yu in Longshou Forest before. You should have heard what Mr. Wei said."

Ye Lingxuan's eyes flashed slightly but she said nothing.

She had someone secretly investigate Mu Zhian's affairs before, and she did know about it, but at this moment she still didn't know what Mu Zhian wanted to say.

"Actually, in the Dragon Head Forest, Ruoxi and I were almost killed by the demon cultivator at the entrance of the cave. If it hadn't been for Ruoxi at that time, I'm afraid I would have been..."

Mu Zhian looked at the snow lotus in his hand and said softly: "Before he died, the man in black robe left the mark of the demon cultivator on my body. I don't know when this mark will break out. If that day comes, I'm afraid I will be mistaken for someone." I thought it was a demon cultivator.”

"Could the pink light luck exuding from you before have something to do with the demon cultivator?" Ye Lingxuan's eyes changed slightly, and she subconsciously raised her head to look at Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian raised his head slightly, looked at the high beams under the ceiling, then lowered his eyes, looked at the snow lotus in his hand, and sighed softly:

"I don't know exactly what it is. Maybe it's as you said. That pink light luck may be the mark left by the demon cultivator in my body."

"If someone in the sect notices it, I am afraid that the best outcome for me in the future will be to be expelled from the sect. Ruoxi has a similar experience to me. She has felt inferior to herself for a long time because of this matter. If today If I don’t choose her, she will probably feel even more inferior.”

Ye Lingxuan's originally cold expression softened slightly, but she did not forgive him and said, "After all, the person you really want to give the snow lotus to is still Bai Ruoxi, right?"

Although his tone was still cold, the indifference in his eyes had obviously melted away a lot.

It turned out that he considered the mood of everyone present at that time, and finally chose Bai Ruoxi to avoid making her feel even more inferior...

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had the mark of a demon cultivator in your body?" Ye Lingxuan was still suspicious.

Mu Zhian smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Lingxuan was so alert to me at the beginning, what's the point of me telling you. Besides, I don't want to cause you so much trouble."

Ye Lingxuan's eyes softened a little when she heard it, but with a little displeasure, she said, "Are you treating me as an outsider?"

In the beginning, your attitude towards me was that of an outsider, no, to be precise, it should be like guarding against thieves...Mu Zhian thought to himself.

Ye Lingxuan suddenly paused and hummed, "If you had said it earlier, I could still help you..."

"But it's not too late now." She added.

Mu Zhian was slightly moved, looking at Ye Lingxuan with a look of emotion, and said: "If the sect detects the mark left by the demon world in my body in the future, will sister Lingxuan be willing to plead for me?"

"But if so, I'm afraid that you and the sect will become enemies, which is not what I want to see."

"Liangyi Sect will not stand on the opposite side of us for a small cultivator like you." Ye Lingxuan said lightly.

It seems that the mysterious force behind Ye Lingxuan is really amazing. Even a behemoth like Liangyi Sect will give some face...Mu Zhian understood in his heart.

Ye Lingxuan's voice softened a little, and she said softly: "If that day really comes, I will protect you from leaving."

Mu Zhian stopped talking, just staring blankly at Ye Lingxuan's delicate and flawless pretty face.

At this moment, there was only emotion and affection in his eyes.

He reached out, gently took Ye Lingxuan's hand, and put the snow lotus in her hand.

"I know you are still angry now. If you still think of unpleasant things when you see this snow lotus in the future, throw it away."

"What will happen if I throw it away?" She glanced at Mu Zhian.

"I will find a flower that is more suitable for Sister Lingxuan than the snow lotus and give it to you." Mu Zhian stared at Ye Lingxuan seriously and said softly.

"It is rumored that there is a flower called hydrangea blooming in the demon world. If I find it in the future, I will pick it and give it to you."

When Ye Lingxuan heard "demon world", her face changed slightly.

Then, looking at Mu Zhian's serious expression, her eyebrows softened slightly, but her tone was still elegant and reserved, and she said: "Mr. Mu is really good at making people happy."

Said this, but there was no coldness that kept people away from her at the beginning.

Huh... It seems that there is no problem for the time being.

Seeing this scene, Mu Zhian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

As he guessed, it was right to choose Bai Ruoxi at that time.

Bai Ruoxi looked cold and weak, but during this period of time, Mu Zhian realized that Miss Bai's tea art level was actually quite high. If he had chosen someone else, he might have been served by the heart lock after returning.

Senior sister is an extremely arrogant and smart person, but I don't know when she knew about his multi-threaded operation. Choosing her will not make her feel better. She might even be disgusted by his behavior of looking at the bowl and thinking about the pot.

Treating senior sister should be gentle and silent.

As for Ye Lingxuan, although she usually behaves elegantly and seems to be quite sophisticated, in fact, Ye Lingxuan has no experience in love.

In addition, she has been a princess who has been coaxed since she was a child. Therefore, as long as she can sincerely make her happy, she will be indifferent on the surface, but her frozen heart will melt further.

"Qian'er just went back to her room without saying a word, but you can go find her later. She won't see you now." Ye Lingxuan suddenly said.

Ye Qian is really a simple girl with no bad intentions. This incident will naturally make her sad and upset. However, as long as I meet her later and comfort her carefully, the girl will open her heart.

Mu Zhian nodded gently, thinking that the time was almost up, and said:

"By the way, you haven't received the sect token yet, right? I'm going out later, and I'll bring you a sect token by the way."

Ye Lingxuan nodded reservedly and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Mu."

This girl is really a little arrogant, and she still refuses to call me brother Mu... Mu Zhian nodded slightly, and after chatting with Ye Lingxuan for a few more words, he saw that her eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, and she was no longer cold at the beginning.

So, Mu Zhian did not stay any longer, and left the room refreshed not long after.

On the way back, he pulled a sect disciple and asked about the location of the sect token. After that, Mu Zhian walked along the path for a while and returned to the courtyard where he would live in the future.

Wei Mengrou didn't even ask Mu Zhian, she just glanced at him and guessed something, and said contemptuously: "Scumbag."

How can I be called a scumbag... At most, I am called a "fish pond owner", who is brave enough to pursue the girls he likes, can be ambiguous but resolutely never abandon any girl.

There is still a difference between him and a scumbag.

Mu Zhian didn't mind Wei Mengrou's contempt, and even enjoyed the sadistic eyes of the maid.

"The sect token can be collected near the library, Sister Mengrou, do you want to go with me? Or I can bring you one back?" He suddenly asked.

Wei Mengrou hesitated for a moment, nodded gently, and said: "I'll go too."

Wei Mengrou is a little "socially anxious" and doesn't like to show up, but there may be a solution to "luck" in the library of Liangyi Sect.

Although I don't have much hope, I still have to try my luck.

…

Mu Zhian and others walked on the arch bridge paved with translucent golden talismans. When they came to the library, they saw a rather ancient hall in their sight.

"I have seen the description of the Liangyi Sect's library in books, but I didn't expect it to be more magnificent than the description in words." Bai Ruoxi raised his head slightly, looking at the library on the top of the peak in front of him, and couldn't help sighing softly.

Mu Zhian nodded gently and glanced around.

At this moment, many disciples who had just entered the sect were entering the library one after another, probably to find their favorite exercises.

There was a stone table near the library. In front of the stone table, a beautiful woman handed them the sect token with a smile.

After the sect disciples injected spiritual energy into it, words seemed to appear faintly on the sect token.

"This sect token is blank at first, but after injecting spiritual energy, the person's name will appear... This method is really magical." Mu Zhian sighed.

Bai Ruoxi followed with a soft "hmm", and then his eyes suddenly fell on the edge of the cliff not far ahead, wondering:

"What is going on there?"

Mu Zhian looked over and soon noticed that in addition to the site not far away where the sect tokens were being distributed, there were many sect disciples standing on the cliff that was towering into the clouds, looking down and watching something.

"Go over and take a look and you'll know."

Mu Zhian said, and came to the edge of the cliff with the two women. When looking down from above, it seemed that a giant dragon could be vaguely seen in the clouds swimming in the misty cliff.

Although its true appearance could not be seen, it was not difficult to guess from the figure that it should be an extremely large "dragon" with a snake body and four legs.

"Spirit dragon?" Mu Zhian remembered the spirit dragon that Lan Murian had mentioned before, which existed when the sect was founded.

Soon, he noticed that each disciple standing on the edge of the cliff seemed to be emitting a faint glow, some of which were red.

...This is luck.

The spirit dragon on the cliff was swimming in the mist, as if looking for something.

"It is said that if you encounter a spirit dragon, you can get its luck blessing... Could it be that these disciples are using their own luck as bait to see if they can get the favor of Senior Linglong?"

Mu Zhian guessed in his heart.

But from this, it can be seen that Linglong has no interest in the luck of these disciples.

He retracted his gaze and was about to get the sect token first.

But just as he thought of this, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the crowd: "Senior Linglong has responded!"

Mu Zhian subconsciously turned his head to look, but saw a spirit dragon sticking out a head from the clouds, and the ferocious and beautiful figure appeared in the disciples' field of vision, with a pair of huge golden beast eyes staring at the disciples on the stage.

Then, its eyes fixed on a certain direction, and it actually swam towards the direction of the library.

Mu Zhian's body stiffened slightly, staring at Linglong.

Just now, for a moment, he seemed to feel that he and Linglong had met eyes.

No, it might not be looking at me, but...

Mu Zhian subconsciously glanced at Bai Ruoxi beside him, quickly scanning from her delicate face to her towering chest, and then back to her snow-white and flawless profile.

Could it be that he was attracted by her?

Although he thought so, Mu Zhian felt something was wrong in his heart.

He always felt that the person Linglong just looked at... didn't seem to be Bai Ruoxi.
