So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

As Ye Lingxuan's calm voice sounded in the hall, Lan Murian was awakened from her thoughts.

She looked up and saw a slender figure standing at the door. She was wearing a gorgeous dress, with beautiful patterns embroidered on her purple dress. Such a gorgeous and elegant dress, matched with a classical and exquisite face, exuded the noble elegance of a princess of the dynasty.

Although she is still a little beauty waiting to bloom, in another year or two, her appearance will be enough to be compared with a woman like Lan Murian. Even now, she also has a pure temperament different from Lan Murian.

If Mu Zhian saw this scene at this time, he would probably secretly sigh at Ye Lingxuan's beauty.

It's just a pity that he can't see anything now...

Although he is also in the hall at this moment, Mu Zhian dare not open his eyes at all.

Why did Lingxuan come to Liangyi Peak? Shouldn't she be meditating and practicing in peace? !

Feeling the cold silence in the hall, Mu Zhian's little soul seemed to be roaring in regret.

If he hadn't thought of catching the fish of Senior Sister just now, Ye Lingxuan wouldn't have seen such an embarrassing scene...

Senior Sister's hand was even on the back of his hand.

Ye Lingxuan glanced at her inconspicuously, then raised her head and said with a smile: "Senior sister, there is a competition tomorrow. Why are you with Master Mu so late at night instead of practicing?"

"If it gets out, it may damage your reputation... After all, there are many people in the sect who secretly admire you."

Lan Murian raised her eyebrows slightly, and a smile like breaking ice appeared on her cold and beautiful face. Her clear voice sounded: "My brother has questions about the practice, so he took the initiative to ask me tonight to ask about the practice."

"It is normal for fellow disciples to help each other. If Junior Sister Lingxuan doesn't understand anything, she can also come to me."

"Senior sister's hand is holding Brother Mu's hand like this... Is this also part of guiding him to practice?" Ye Lingxuan's eyes inadvertently glanced at Lan Murian's hand holding Mu Zhian, and her tone was meaningful.

Unexpectedly, Lan Murian smiled brightly and said lightly: "I am checking the pulse of my junior brother and confirming the direction of his spiritual energy flow."

Do you need to hold hands like this when checking the pulse? Also, didn't you just touch Brother Mu's face?

Ye Lingxuan wanted to tell Lan Murian about the scene she just saw through the Lock of Desolate Time and questioned Lan Murian in person. How could you, a senior sister who entered the sect earlier than us, touch a sleeping junior brother?

But thinking that if she opened her mouth, the other party would ask her why she knew about this... After imagining that scene, Ye Lingxuan finally held back.

The daughter of the restricted area, the goddess in the hearts of her fellow brothers, turned out to be a voyeur... Even though she knew that Lan Murian would not leak such a thing, Ye Lingxuan was thin-skinned and did not ask in the end.

"Why is Brother Mu unconscious?" Ye Lingxuan calmed down a little and suddenly asked.

"It's related to the road to becoming an immortal." Lan Murian said concisely.

"The road to becoming an immortal..." Ye Lingxuan's eyes flickered slightly, and she recalled the black-robed man she had seen at the end of the road to becoming an immortal.

Could it be that it was really him...?

Ye Lingxuan's eyes flickered with a strange luster, as if she was thinking about something important.

At this time, Lan Mulian continued: "I have heard in the past that someone in the forbidden area had ascended to the immortal world. You should know a lot about the immortal world?"

"Sister Lan, do you even know this?" Ye Lingxuan's eyes flickered slightly, and she was surprised.

In fact, Ye Lingxuan didn't know much about some secrets in the past, but she did hear from the elders in the forbidden area that there were indeed powerful people in the forbidden area who ascended to the immortal world.

To be precise, it was not the powerful people in the forbidden area, but the powerful people of the Ye family.

In ancient times, the forbidden area and the Ye family belonged to the same family, but later the Ye family split, the forbidden area gradually became stronger, and the original Ye family gradually declined. If it weren't for the heavenly aura of the Ye family, Ye Lingxuan would not have had any dealings with the Ye family later.

However, this is just a legend after all. Whether the great man of the Ye family really ascended to the immortal world, I think only the great men of her time know.

"Have you and Brother Mu been to the Heavenly Palace tonight?" Ye Lingxuan asked.

Lan Mulian nodded slightly: "But I don't know why Junior Brother is still in a coma."

When she said this, her eyes fell on Mu Zhian, who was still in a coma beside her.

It stands to reason that even if he got some immortal fate in the Heavenly Palace, his spiritual consciousness should not have returned for so long.

Unless... Mu Zhian's spiritual consciousness is trapped in the Heavenly Palace.

Thinking of this, Lan Mulian glanced at Mu Zhian with her clear and beautiful eyes.

In her eyes, Mu Zhian's cauldron structure was also completely included in her field of vision.

And the spiritual consciousness that returned to the body at this time was naturally seen through by her origin and completely fell into her field of vision.

And this glance also made Lan Mulian's expression stagnate slightly.

As if she couldn't believe it, she scanned Mu Zhian's body with her spiritual sense again.

"..."

At this moment, her heart was slightly stirred.

This guy...has already woken up? !

Thinking of what she had just done, Lan Murian's cold and beautiful eyes rarely flashed a trace of panic.

When did he wake up? Did he know what she had just done...?

At this moment, she was so confused that even Ye Lingxuan beside her noticed something unusual.

Ye Lingxuan's spiritual consciousness swept over Mu Zhian's body, and then she understood something. There was a hint of meaning in her eyes, and she glanced at Mu Zhian faintly.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became strangely quiet.

The two girls stared at Mu Zhian silently, wanting to see how long he was going to perform.

This is the most dangerous place to raise little white sharks in the fish pond. After they gradually grow into great white sharks, their strength improves, and their spiritual consciousness far exceeds that of ordinary people. In addition, one of them is a natural spiritual body with a strong affinity for spiritual energy, and the other can see through the origin of all things.

When the two girls' spiritual consciousness swept over Mu Zhian's body, they both captured the awakened spiritual consciousness in his body.

Mu Zhian gritted his teeth and slowly opened his eyes, with a trace of confusion in his eyes. He turned his head slightly and looked at his senior sister and said, "Senior sister, how long have I been unconscious?"

"You should know this better than me." Lan Murian answered coldly.

There was a trace of anger in her eyes, obviously thinking that Mu Zhian was just pretending to sleep and wanted to catch her.

But... she was really caught by Mu Zhian.

Recalling what she had done just now while Mu Zhian was sleeping, Lan Murian's slender hands on her knees subconsciously grabbed the skirt of the white skirt, her eyes were full of coldness, and the shame hidden under this coldness.

Mu Zhian was full of helplessness in his heart, and then, he turned his head slightly and saw the elegant purple skirt girl behind him, pretending to be surprised: "Lingxuan, why are you here too? Do you have any questions about cultivation that you want to ask your senior sister?"

This meant that he came to his senior sister tonight to ask for advice on the exercises, not just for a late-night tryst or something.

Ye Lingxuan said with a smile: "Tonight, the road to immortality that may not appear once in ten thousand years appeared in Liangyi Peak. I came to take a look and chat with my senior sister. I didn't expect Brother Mu to be there too."

"...Is it not going to disturb you and Sister Lan? If it is disturbing, I can go back now." Ye Lingxuan had a reserved and sweet smile on her face.

But Mu Zhian read the danger in the smile.

Ye Lingxuan tilted her head slightly: "What's wrong?"

Mu Zhian shook his head and said: "Sister Lingxuan, don't worry."

"So, did Brother Mu get the answer he wanted from Sister Lan?" Ye Lingxuan asked, staring at him straight.

Mu Zhian gave a positive answer.

Then, before she could speak, Mu Zhian activated the cauldron, and in an instant, a wisp of spiritual energy in his cauldron quietly circulated in his body.

As a natural spirit, Ye Lingxuan naturally noticed it at the first time and subconsciously looked at him: "Brother Mu, why is this spiritual energy so special?"

Lan Mulian's eyes also flickered slightly, completely forgetting what happened just now, and her attention was also attracted.

At this moment, the spiritual energy in Mu Zhian's body is completely different from when he came here before.

The concentration of spiritual energy in Mu Zhian's cauldron at this moment is far more than three times the current level!

"Sister, do you still remember the heaven that you and I set foot on tonight?" Mu Zhian asked.

Lan Mulian was an extremely intelligent ice and snow beauty. She immediately raised her head and said, "Did you absorb the spiritual energy in the Heavenly Palace?"

She quickly shook her head again and said, "There are rules in the Heavenly Palace. It should be impossible to absorb the spiritual energy there."

Mu Zhian immediately said, "In fact, I saw the rules of the Heavenly Palace later, and I also passed the test of the Heavenly Palace."

The cold Senior Sister Lan heard this and quietly straightened her sitting posture and said reservedly, "What are the rules of the Heavenly Palace?"

Mu Zhian considered, "The Heavenly Palace rules I saw at that time said that if male cultivators set foot in it, the restrictions were not too severe, and if female cultivators...if you have to say, the restrictions are not big either."

Lan Mulian raised her eyebrows slightly: "What do you mean?"

Seeing that Lan Mulian and Ye Lingxuan were successfully attracted by this topic, Mu Zhian felt relieved and continued, "Women need to wear skirts and stockings to set foot in...This is the rule I saw in the Heavenly Palace at that time."

"It is best to use Nirvana silk." Mu Zhian added.

Lan Murian frowned slightly and whispered: "The master of the Heavenly Court really has a bad taste."

Mu Zhian pondered: "Maybe there is a reason why he has to do this."

Lan Murian pondered for a long time, but still seemed to have not figured out what the master of the Heavenly Court wanted to do. She couldn't help but shook her head gently and returned to her aloof attitude.

She raised her eyes and looked at Mu Zhian: "So, the spiritual energy in your cauldron has now been transformed into the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court?"

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "If I can practice in the Heavenly Court for another month, I should be able to enter the fifth level of refining spirit."

One level per month, this is a very terrifying concept. If it is supplemented by the medicinal materials given by the first seat before, in one or two months, Mu Zhian may be able to successfully advance to the sixth level of refining spirit.

Ye Lingxuan looked at Mu Zhian meaningfully and said, "Since Brother Mu has already consulted Senior Sister, do you want to go back to meditate and practice, or do you plan to stay here tonight?"

Mu Zhian looked normal and smiled faintly, "It is the time of the Ascension Conference. If I stay here all the time, it will disturb Senior Sister's practice, not to mention that I also need to digest the information today."

As he said that, he looked at Lan Murian and said, "Senior sister, I really trouble you tonight."

Ye Lingxuan looked at Mu Zhian who stood up, tilted her head slightly, and her eyes passed Mu Zhian and fell on the cold beauty. She raised her proud white chin slightly and smiled, "Senior sister, let's go."

Lan Murian glanced at Ye Lingxuan lightly, and a faint arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She took out a box of perfume from her sleeve and gently placed it on the table, saying casually, "Pastor brother, you don't have to thank me. After all, I accepted a box of perfume from you. It's only natural for me to help you."

Ye Lingxuan's eyes suddenly froze on the box of perfume on the table, and Mu Zhian saw that the situation was not good, his eyelids twitched slightly, coughed twice, and said, "... Let's go."

He suddenly regretted giving the perfume away.

Although it was a last resort at the time, only giving the ointment could make the beauty happy, but if Lan Murian brings up this ointment again in the future...

Sister Mengrou knows about this, she will make my head into a stool in the future...

I should take some time to go down the mountain to Tianxuan City during this period... Mu Zhian thought to himself.

When Mu Zhian left the villa, Ye Lingxuan had already left without saying a word, leaving Mu Zhian with only a beautiful back.

Mu Zhian did not catch up with Ye Lingxuan, but deliberately kept a distance.

After confirming that they had left Liangyi Peak, he chased after her like a wild dog: "Sister Lingxuan, why are you walking so fast, wait for me..."

Ye Lingxuan didn't want to pay any attention to Mu Zhian at all, and increased her flying speed.

The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I felt. It was clearly said that the person I liked the most was Sister Lingxuan, but I turned around and gave Senior Sister Lan the ointment... What is this?

Mu Zhian speeded up and stopped in front of Ye Lingxuan, grabbed Ye Lingxuan's wrist, looked at her and said: "Sister Lingxuan, wait a minute!"

"I came here tonight for the cultivation method. You just saw that I absorbed the spiritual energy of the heaven. It will also be good for you, right?" Mu Zhian said helplessly.

However, Ye Lingxuan immediately turned her face away and said coldly: "Mr. Mu has so many confidantes around him. Who knows who you absorb the spiritual energy of the heaven for."

"And you also gave me the ointment..."

Seeing her stop, Mu Zhian was immediately happy. He knew that Ye Lingxuan was just arrogant and reluctant to let her go. He immediately said solemnly: "The spiritual energy in the heaven is very special. The only person who can make it work best is sister Lingxuan. What I did tonight is naturally for you."

"What about the ointment?" Ye Lingxuan glanced at him coldly.

Mu Zhian was startled, then shook his head and smiled: "My senior sister took good care of me in the past, so..."

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-feed', placement: 'Below Article Feed', target_type: 'mix' });

"So you gave her the ointment?" Her tone was full of indifference.

Mu Zhian was silent for a moment, and sighed softly: "Actually, I didn't want to tell you so early."

Mu Zhian lowered his head and stared at the girl in front of him, and said softly: "From the beginning, I planned to give you a unique ointment...but, I originally planned to treat it as a surprise."

Ye Lingxuan obviously didn't believe it, and said unhappily: "Brother Mu is the best at lying."

When she said this, she raised her eyes, and her peach blossom eyes were full of resentment and displeasure.

However, such resentment makes those peach blossom eyes even more lovely and charming.

"I'm afraid Brother Mu has said this to more than one person, right?"

This Brother Mu is really hateful, indecisive... but it makes people reluctant to let him go.

Ye Lingxuan loves and hates Mu Zhian, secretly gnashing her teeth, and the Chain of Desolate Time in her sleeves is ready to move, as if ready to tie Mu Zhian back to the restricted area at any time.

Mu Zhian raised his hand and swore: "I can swear that I have only promised to give Sister Lingxuan a surprise so far."

The great way resonates, and the heaven and earth can witness it!

Seeing this, Ye Lingxuan quickly raised her hand to cover Mu Zhian's mouth, looked up at him, and said: "Brother Mu, don't do this. What if you are really punished by the thunder tribulation..."

Mu Zhian gently grasped her soft little hand, lowered his head and stared, and said softly: "As long as it can make you happy, everything is worth it."

Being stared at by Mu Zhian so scorchingly, Ye Lingxuan pursed her red lips, her tone softened slightly, and whispered: "I believe you..."

Feeling Mu Zhian take a step further and hug her slender waist, Ye Lingxuan felt shy and a little expectant in her heart, raising her peach blossom eyes and staring at him: "Brother Mu, are you going home tonight?"

Mu Zhian understood, lowered his head and kissed Ye Lingxuan's fair face: "I will go home with you tonight."

Ye Lingxuan pushed him away gently and reservedly: "Don't do this, we are still outside... If someone sees us..."

"Do you mean you can go back?" Mu Zhian deliberately teased.

He looked at Ye Lingxuan standing with her head down, her beautiful face slightly flushed. He couldn't help but reach out and lightly lift the girl's chin, intending to taste the girl's pink lips before going back.

However, at this moment, Ye Lingxuan suddenly seemed to have noticed something, and subconsciously turned her head to look at the immortal road.

In this immortal road that was about to disappear, there seemed to be a beautiful figure walking slowly down from it.

The figure disappeared in a flash, as if it had never appeared.

However, a trace of doubt flashed in Ye Lingxuan's eyes.

She always felt that this woman looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before...

At the same time, Mu Zhian also noticed something unusual and looked up.

Like Ye Lingxuan, his eyes were also full of doubt.

Although he knew that there were great powers who had ascended to heaven, it was really strange that they would choose to descend before the immortal road disappeared...

...

That night, the cold winter came.

In the depths of the Glazed Palace on the north bank, a young man in a black robe slowly opened his eyes and woke up from meditation.

The room was quiet, without a single sound.

It's no wonder. The immortal road appeared, and all the cultivators in the Glazed Palace went to join in the fun.

In the past, Ye Yu would have been unable to resist going there to try to seek this opportunity.

However, Ye Yu was extremely calm at this time, and he didn't even leave the room.

It's not that he gave up the chance to become an immortal, but he knew that this immortal road would not allow him to reach the heaven.

His chance to become an immortal has not come yet.

"You are much calmer than before, not bad." The old man in the body said with satisfaction.

"After all, the teacher said before that now is not the best time to set foot in the heaven. If that's the case, there is no need to get involved in this matter. Concentrating on cultivation is the top priority." Ye Yu said lightly.

The old man smiled and said, "You are right. If you focus on your cultivation, you will have a promising future. As for Mu Zhian... it's okay to put it aside for now. After all, you will run into him sooner or later in this Ascension Conference, unless he is defeated or gives up."

"However, based on my understanding of him, although Mu Zhian is cunning, he is still a proud person in essence. This time he represents the inner disciples of the Library, and it is impossible for him to give up halfway."

"And this is your chance."

Mu Zhian... Ye Yu clenched his fists slightly, with a touch of excitement in his eyes.

The teacher is right. Mu Zhian represents the Library this time, and it is impossible for him to give up halfway. As long as he can win all the way, he will run into Mu Zhian sooner or later.

And by then...

Every time at the Ascension Conference, there will be examples of "occasionally" accidentally injuring others. As long as you can run into Mu Zhian, you can completely trample him under your feet in front of Bai Ruoxi and others, proving how wrong her decision was!

When he thought of this, Ye Yu felt a little more impatient.

But now he had to be calm, and not lose his mind... Ye Yu was about to close his eyes, when he suddenly heard the old man's surprised voice.

Ye Yu was about to ask, but he realized that a woman had appeared in the room.

She was shrouded by Huaba, so she couldn't see clearly, and even her face couldn't be seen clearly, but she gave people a flawless feeling.

Ye Yu reacted almost immediately and stood up suddenly.

The woman looked at Ye Yu for a few times and smiled faintly: "So that's it... Are you the descendant of the Ye family?"

It seems that she has a good talent. At a young age, she has already reached the third level of soul refining, and even obtained the energy of heaven...

"Who are you?!" Ye Yu said in a deep voice.

The woman glanced at him and chuckled: "My identity, the old man in your body should know."

Ye Yu was shocked, his eyes widened, staring at the blurry figure of the woman.

This person actually knew that there was a remnant soul in his body? !

At this time, an old figure slowly appeared in the room. He stared at the woman in front of him with turbid eyes and said, "Ye Qingxin, you have already ascended to the fairyland, why are you here?"

Ye Qingxin...?

Ye Yu was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to remember something, raised his head suddenly, and said, "Ye Qingxin... You are one of the ancestors of the Ye family, the Ye Qingxin who ascended to the fairyland in the past?!"

"I didn't expect that after such a long time, there are still his descendants who remember me?" Ye Qingxin chuckled and looked at Ye Yu a few times: "You have good talent, good opportunities, and even the aura of heaven."

Ye Yu heard this and said hatefully: "If it weren't for Mu Zhian, I should have two auras of heaven."

"Mu Zhian...?" There was a trace of doubt in Ye Qingxin's beautiful eyes.

This time, the road to becoming an immortal was rarely revealed, and she also took this opportunity to let a ray of spiritual consciousness descend to the heaven, wanting to see how the descendants of the Ye family are doing now, and to travel around the nine states and meet old acquaintances.

But now it seems that after she left, the Ye family doesn't seem to be doing very well...

"Who is Mu Zhian?" Ye Qingxin asked.

When he heard the three words Mu Zhian, Ye Yu's eyes were filled with hatred, and he immediately explained Mu Zhian's past actions one by one.

Of course, it was only a truthful explanation in Ye Yu's eyes, but in fact there were many exaggerated elements.

When he heard the last part, Ye Qingxin's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "You mean, your two sisters were also bewitched by him? He even took away your heavenly aura?"

Ye Yu nodded slightly and said bitterly: "This person is cunning by nature, and now he has the protection of Linglong and Qingdi, so..."

Ye Qingxin said faintly: "There will be a competition with Mu Zhian tomorrow, right? Since you are a descendant of the Ye family, I naturally can't sit idly by."

"Tomorrow, I will go to the Ascension Platform in person to see why this Mu Zhian you mentioned dares to take away the immortal fate of my Ye family's descendants."

Ye Yu's eyes were filled with joy, and he immediately raised his hands and clasped his fists: "Thank you, ancestor!"

With the help of this great man, the possibility of stepping on Mu Zhian in the future will be even higher!

After all, among the ancestors of the Ye family, the only one who ascended to heaven was this great man in the Hedao realm, Ye Qingxin.

But I didn't expect that she would find him in the first place...Ye Yu's eyes flashed with excitement, and he seemed quite surprised.

And Ye Qingxin turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of Liangyi Peak.

At that time, she saw a pair of young monks near Liangyi Peak. The aura of the purple-dressed girl was suspected to come from the reincarnation pool in the restricted area.

So... that girl should be the daughter of that guy?

And the young monk next to her at that time was Mu Zhian...?

Ye Qingxin's eyes flickered slightly, and there was a hint of thoughtfulness in her eyes.

...

Liuli Palace, Dexin Garden.

The warm candlelight lit up the room. Ye Lingxuan lowered her head all the way, seeming a little shy, and did not speak all the way.

After Ye Lingxuan closed the door, Mu Zhian's eyes fell on the girl.

Her back was slender, her snow-white shoulders were slightly exposed, and her delicate and moving face was faintly blushed, as if she was innocent and innocent.

A pair of snow-white and slender legs were outlined under the light purple skirt, revealing a beautiful luster under the candlelight.

Mu Zhian walked forward slowly, gently hugged Ye Lingxuan's waist, and his chest pressed against her beautiful back.

"Brother Mu, wait a minute..." However, at this moment, Ye Lingxuan suddenly spoke softly to stop Mu Zhian.

Then, the Desolate Time Chain in her sleeve flew out silently, and she looked at the young man behind her and said, "Brother Mu, can you cooperate with Lingxuan to do an experiment first? I want to try the ability of the Desolate Time Chain now..."

Mu Zhian was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at the golden chain with a bit of hesitation in his eyes.

He really had a bad memory of the lock... Back in the Yaochi ancestral land, he was once bound by Yao Meng with vines.

Although the process was pleasant, it was really uncomfortable to recall the feeling of being restricted in action.

However, after seeing Ye Lingxuan's weak appearance, Mu Zhian finally softened his heart.

"Okay... I'll do as you say."

Ye Lingxuan's eyes flashed with a cunning look, and she said softly: "Brother Mu is so nice~"

This girl probably learned bad things from being with Bai Ruoxi. She didn't know how to act like a spoiled child before, but now she knows how to "control her husband properly."

The Chain of Desolate Time bound Mu Zhian in it, and then Ye Lingxuan took Mu Zhian's hand and came to the bed, letting him lie down in front of the bed.

Just as Mu Zhian was looking forward to Ye Lingxuan's next move, Ye Lingxuan took out a handkerchief and gently tied it around Mu Zhian's eyes.

Mu Zhian's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said: "Sister Lingxuan... Are we playing a little too much?"

It was only then that he realized that something was wrong.

Ye Lingxuan put her hands behind her back, looked down at Mu Zhian, and said with a smile: "Didn't Brother Mu promise on the way back just now that he would do whatever Lingxuan wanted tonight?"

How could I know that you would take out the lock of the wasteland as soon as you came up... Mu Zhian said tactfully: "At least don't cover your eyes..."

Ye Lingxuan said "um" softly: "I know, I will unlock it later, don't worry."

As she said that, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly: "Brother Mu, wait a moment, I will go out to take a bath first..."

After that, without giving Mu Zhian a chance to speak again, she turned around and quietly left the room.

Afterwards, she showed a hint of hesitation on her face, but finally walked along the corridor to a door.

"Is Qian'er here...?"

Ye Lingxuan gently knocked on Ye Qian's door.
