So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

After bidding farewell to Lan Murian, Mu Zhian returned to his room to sit in meditation and refine the medicinal effects of the Dao Heart Pill in his body.

At dawn, Mu Zhian opened his eyes and saw Wei Mengrou, who had just finished taking a medicinal bath and was washed white in the room. There were two seductive faint blushes on her cold and beautiful face. She closed her eyes slightly, as if she was meditating.

She seemed to be less cold and more mature and charming.

As if she noticed Mu Zhian's direct gaze, Wei Mengrou said in a cold and pleasant voice: "Have you finished talking to your senior sister?"

Sister Mengrou turned into an iceberg beauty again... Mu Zhian nodded slightly, and then asked with concern: "Is Sister Mengrou feeling better now?"

Although the question was obscure, Wei Mengrou obviously understood what Mu Zhian was talking about.

Her pretty face was slightly red, and she didn't dare to look at him at all. She lowered her head silently, and her slightly wet hair stuck to her delicate face, blocking her blushing face.

"...... Yeah."

After a while, a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible came from the room. She bit her lower lip subconsciously, feeling shy inside.

That's right. It's not cute to be cold all the time. It's more cute to be shy occasionally...Mu Zhian smiled with satisfaction: "I have already told my senior sister to ask the Law Enforcement Hall not to interfere in this matter for the time being."

The maid who was intimate with Mu Zhian in the second half of yesterday was so active, and now she is so dead after calming down... After all, Wei Mengrou never calls Mu Zhian "Master" on weekdays.

But fortunately, Mu Zhian didn't go too far and continue to tease Wei Mengrou, so as to prevent her from giving up the Ascension Conference later.

Seeing that Mu Zhian changed the subject, Wei Mengrou's tense body gradually relaxed, and she looked at Mu Zhian through her beautiful eyes between her hair: "Xiao Hua attacked you, but you are going to speak for him?"

"Speak for Luo Tan, not for Xiao Hua." Mu Zhian corrected.

"Xiao Hua will be severely punished for the Void Nightmare, but if this matter gets out of hand, it will inevitably be fanned by people with ulterior motives, affecting the relationship between Yuzhou and Liangyi Sect."

"If you are a body of misfortune that is targeted by the Heavenly Dao outside the rules of heaven and earth, then Xiao Hua, Ye Yu and others are the chosen ones favored by the Heavenly Dao. People with strong luck can always be blessed in the dark before their luck dissipates."

"Even if I don't intervene in the middle, Xiao Hua will not die for the time being, but will be used by people with ulterior motives."

As Yao Meng said, Jiuzhou looks like a pool of clear water, but in fact it is undercurrents. The last time the Southern Wasteland and Western Regions tried their best to stop the Green Emperor from combining with the Dao, if they can make a big fuss this time, they will naturally not let it go.

Even if there is no Southern Wasteland and Western Regions, there are other forces in various states secretly fanning the flames.

Mu Zhian put his arm around Wei Mengrou's shoulders and held her in his arms, saying, "Of course, Sister Mengrou doesn't have to worry about this. You just need to practice hard and prepare for the Ascension Conference. I lost, but you haven't lost yet."

Wei Mengrou looked at him silently and whispered, "The Heavenly Dao targets the original witch. If I break through the realm again in the future, I don't know if there will be stronger misfortunes."

The three paths of heaven, earth and man in Jiuzhou are the key to whether a cultivator can achieve harmony with the Dao. Among them, the Heavenly Dao dominates the rules and does not allow any variables to exist, and Wei Mengrou is that variable.

But why Wei Mengrou was targeted by the Heavenly Dao, it seems to be related to the original witch in the past.

Wei Mengrou is the original witch, but she doesn't know why she was targeted by the Heavenly Dao in the past. Even the original witch sleeping in her body now doesn't know.

It seems that among the three spiritual consciousnesses of the original witch, only the third spiritual consciousness holds the truth.

"Even if I don't practice, my realm will gradually improve every day. I'm afraid that after the Ascension Conference, I will be able to return to the void after refining the spirit." Wei Mengrou's eyes were filled with worry.

"If this word gets out, even Sister Mengrou will be envied." Mu Zhian laughed dumbly.

Although he knew that Wei Mengrou's words were not Versailles, Sister Mengrou was just worried that after the realm was improved, bad luck would also become stronger, and then affect the fortune of her young master.

Wei Mengrou glanced at the young master who teased her, but her heart trembled slightly under his gentle gaze.

She stretched out her snow-white and slender arms, gently hooked Mu Zhian's neck, and whispered: "I'm not showing off my talent."

Mu Zhian hugged her soft figure and whispered: "We have come through all these years, and there is no need to worry now. If you change your mindset, Sister Meng Rou's talent is so strong that the Heavenly Dao has to target her. This is a good thing."

She hesitated for a long time and said: "But my talent may implicate you..."

Mu Zhian chuckled: "Don't worry."

"Whoever wants you to die, I will kill him, even the Heavenly Dao."

To do this, all the people chosen by the Heavenly Dao must be removed first.

...

The next day, morning.

Xiao Hua slowly opened his eyes and looked at the environment in front of him, still in a daze.

"The person who attacked Mu Zhian yesterday, was you?"

At this time, a crisp and pleasant voice came from not far away. Xiao Hua subconsciously turned his head to look. The woman in a luxurious and complicated white dress was sitting on the chair, looking at him calmly.

Her spiritual consciousness inadvertently swept over Xiao Hua's body, and her eyebrows could not help but slightly raised, with surprise in her eyes.

She thought that Xiao Hua was possessed by someone, so he attacked Mu Zhian, but now she found that Xiao Hua's spiritual consciousness was still the original him.

She really asked this... Xiao Hua, who had expected this step, his eyes flickered slightly. He lifted the quilt, got out of bed with difficulty, and slowly knelt down in front of the empress, with an excited and ashamed tone:

"Because I saw Mu Zhian touching my cousin that day, I was blinded by jealousy and summoned the Void Nightmare to attack Mu Zhian."

"But later I discovered that the Void Nightmare was not under my control, and even attacked me. It seems that after being summoned, the Void Nightmare was controlled by others..."

This seems to be an apology, but in fact it is retreat in order to advance. On the one hand, it shows that although the Void Nightmare was summoned by himself, it was later controlled by Mu Zhian.

Luo Tan's face was cold, like an empress looking down on all living beings. She stepped on the floor with her knee-high white boots and stood up slowly. She said calmly: "What you do is what you do. No matter what the result is, you are responsible for this." head."

"After this, I will punish you according to the rules of Yuzhou."

When she said this, her beautiful eyebrows could not help but frown slightly, and she felt a little more headache.

If Xiao Hua is not the real Xiao Hua, this matter will be easier to handle.

But Xiao Hua is still the same Xiao Hua as in the past, and has not been taken away by some powerful person. Once the news about Xiao Hua's attack on Mu Zhian spreads, the Law Enforcement Hall of the Liang Yi Sect will inevitably start investigating the matter.

But in this way, there is no chance that some people with ulterior motives will fan the flames secretly. If it is spread that the Yuzhou Empress is not even willing to protect her own reputation, her reputation will inevitably be somewhat damaged.

At this time, the maid hurriedly walked into the hall, glanced at Xiao Hua, and then whispered: "Your Majesty, Mu Zhian is asking for an audience outside the hall."

Mu Zhian? You actually came to me at this time...?

Hearing this, Luo Tan slightly raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It can be said that Luo Tan was quite impressed by the young monk who had a natural cauldron like him.

She had met Mu Zhian several times before, and she could tell that this young man was somewhat scheming and had extraordinary methods.

As for his appearance, he is also a handsome young man as gentle as jade, otherwise he would not be loved by the Qing Emperor.

The other party would come at this sensitive time, which was somewhat beyond her expectation.

"Invite him in." Luo Tan said.

Xiao Hua, who was kneeling aside, couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

Although it was a bit unexpected, Mu Zhian came at the right time.

I attacked you, Mu Zhian, and I will also be severely punished after that.

But so what?

Now that you are here to raise an army and accuse me, aren't you slapping the Emperor of Medicine in the face?

To blame me and offend the Emperor of Medicine, this is not a wise decision.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xiao Hua's mouth twitched slightly, looking weak, and whispered: "Everyone is responsible for what he does. I was blinded by jealousy. After that, I will go to the Law Enforcement Hall to plead guilty, and I will definitely not implicate Yuzhou. "

Although there is no past memory of the original owner of this body, he probably knows what the original Xiao Hua's personality was like, and it is naturally easy to imitate Xiao Hua.

It would be best for Mu Zhian to completely offend Luo Tan over this matter, and then I can find a way out on my own... Xiao Hua thought to himself.

"Junior Mu Zhian, I have met my senior."

At this time, accompanied by a clear and sunny voice, the noble man in white robe at the entrance of the palace walked into the palace under the leadership of the maid, with a respectful look on his face.

He has an extraordinary temperament and a restrained aura. If an ordinary woman saw him, she would feel some admiration for him.

"Little friend Mu, why do you have time to come here to see me today? Or are you here to see him?"

Luo Tan in the hall looked at the young man and smiled brightly, with a little gentleness in his beautiful pale golden eyes.

Even so, Mu Zhian still showed no signs of complacency. He raised his hands and bowed, saying, "This junior is here today because of Brother Xiao Hua's business."

Luo Tan glanced at Mu Zhian without leaving any trace, and said: "I have already asked Xiao Hua about this matter. It is indeed his fault. How does Mr. Mu think it should be punished?"

Let's make a fuss, the bigger the fuss, the better... Xiao Hua sneered secretly, but his heart was full of expectations, waiting for Mu Zhian to speak.

He had already thought about his next response.

"Your Majesty, I hope this matter will be brought to an end. Please stop blaming Brother Xiao."

However, the next moment, when he heard Mu Zhian's words, Xiao Hua, who had already thought about his answer, couldn't help but froze for a moment, and fell into a brief daze.

After a brief moment of daze, Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Mu Zhian in disbelief.

What is he talking about?

He doesn't plan to pursue this matter? !

At this moment, not only Xiao Hua was stunned, but also Luo Tan was slightly startled.

"Little friend Mu, do you know what you just said?"

After being secretly attacked and seriously injured, Mu Zhian could have used this opportunity to leave Xiao Hua in the sect to suffer, but in the end, he actually planned to wrong himself?

"Whether this matter is big or small, it all depends on the decision of the person involved."

Mu Zhian raised his hands and bowed, and said: "Your Majesty may not believe it. I have read many ancient books since I was a child. The various deeds of the empress of Yuzhou are mentioned in them. I have admired them since I was a child. Even though I have all kinds of dissatisfaction with Brother Xiao. , and I don’t want your Majesty to have any trouble with the Liangyi Sect because of this matter.”

"and……"

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xiao Hua meaningfully, then immediately withdrew his gaze, raised his hands and bowed: "Your Majesty, please step aside."

"Jing Xi, take Xiao Hua down."

Luo Tan's sweet and clear voice sounded, and until the maid Jing Xi came to Xiao Hua's side, the chosen one had not yet reacted.

Something's wrong... This Mu Zhian is extremely hostile to me, how could he be so kind?

What on earth did he want to say to Luo Tan?

Xiao Hua thought of this and looked up, just in time to see Mu Zhian standing beside Luo Tan, looking down at him with a hint of meaning in his eyes.

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!

There is indeed something wrong with Mu Zhian... Could it be that he knows some secrets about me? !

Xiao Hua suddenly raised his head and said urgently: "Your Majesty, although I attacked Mu Zhian that day, the Nightmare in the Void was suspected to be controlled by someone later, just to put on a show in front of you. Don't be manipulated by others. Deceived!"

He was worried that if he didn't speak now, if Mu Zhian and Luo Tan said something bad after getting along privately, something might really happen on his side.

"I naturally know how to do things."

Luo Tan spoke lightly, and the maid on the side also stepped forward to 'ask' Xiao Hua to leave.

As I expected, this guy is really vicious... Xiao Hua's eyes flashed with a chill, and finally he gave Mu Zhian a cold look.

Mu Zhian subconsciously took two steps back and accidentally bumped into the table next to him.

Snap!

The teacup smashed to the ground, making a harsh sound, which also startled Xiao Hua.

"What's wrong?" Luo Tan asked.

Mu Zhian glanced at Xiao Hua subconsciously, then quickly looked away and whispered: "No, it's okay, it's just that Brother Xiao's eyes were a bit scary just now, which scared the younger generation. But I think Brother Xiao should look like this to everyone, So seniors don’t have to worry about..."

Xiao Hua obviously didn't expect that his look could be used to make a big fuss, and there was a strong and aggrieved hatred in his eyes.

In two lifetimes, when had I ever felt so aggrieved?

As a result, he was plotted against by this little monk in the God Refining Realm!

Luo Tan looked calm, her beautiful pale golden eyes swept across Xiao Hua inadvertently, and immediately said: "Take him down."

However, before the maid stepped forward to ask Xiao Hua to step down, Xiao Hua took the lead and strode out of the palace, obviously very angry at Mu Zhian's 'incredibly disgusting' plan.

The hall returned to silence. After Luo Tan motioned for Mu Zhian to sit down, he asked, "Little friend Mu, I just want to ask you the truth."

"Senior, please tell me. I will tell you everything I know."

"Why don't you plan to pursue this matter? I'm afraid it would be unfair to you to be too soft, and the Qing Emperor would not be satisfied either." Luo Tan asked.

Mu Zhian was not humble and said nothing: "Sister Qingdi was indeed a little angry when she heard about this matter, but if this matter spreads within the sect, I am afraid it will be taken advantage of by someone with intentions. I thought about it all night last night. I still think it’s better to get married privately.”

"After all, this is a private matter between Brother Xiao and I. Senior, there is no need to wade into this muddy water and disturb your purity."

Luo Tan raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Even though this is a dispute between you and him, Xiao Hua is the person I brought here after all. Isn't it still allowed to interfere?"

"It's okay for seniors to ask, but seniors should not get into an argument with Brother Xiao Hua for the sake of juniors, otherwise juniors will be frightened and uneasy."

Hearing Mu Zhian's words, Luo Tan couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and then said: "Xiao Hua made a mistake first, and you should not have been wronged. Even if this matter is not spread to the outside world, I will definitely give it to you in the future. A satisfactory answer to you.”

When she said this, her eyes became a little softer.

No matter what, Xiao Hua is still from Yuzhou. Even if he makes a big mistake, he must be dealt with by Yuzhou. Mu Zhian hopes that the matter will not be publicized, which also suits Luo Tan's wishes.

But she didn't expect that it would be Mu Zhian who mentioned this matter and 'wronged' her.

"Qing Emperor attaches great importance to your affairs. I'm afraid I spent a lot of time trying to persuade her last night." Luo Tan sighed softly.

"Everything is for the sake of the overall situation. If the younger generation feels wronged, just feel a little bit aggrieved. It doesn't matter." Mu Zhian said respectfully.

Luo Tan nodded slightly and reminded intentionally or unintentionally: "Your natural furnace cauldron will improve with your realm, and after taking the Dao Heart Pill, you will be able to complete the advancement in a few days. This is naturally very useful for your Taoist companions. It’s beneficial. But the aura in heaven must not be known to others, otherwise there will be great trouble.”

Mu Zhian sincerely thanked him: "Thank you, senior, for reminding me. I will pay more attention to this junior."

"However, this junior has a special talisman left by Senior Spirit Dragon. By carrying it, he can hide his spiritual consciousness and the natural furnace from others, so there is no problem."

When he said this, he paused and asked doubtfully: "Speaking of which, I heard that some rare treasures seem to have the special ability to hide spiritual consciousness?"

However, Luo Tan did not speak. He just glanced at Xiao Hua outside the hall inadvertently as if he thought of something.

A special magic weapon that shields spiritual consciousness...

Mu Zhian did not continue to speak. He believed that with Luo Tan's wisdom, he would naturally understand the meaning.

Xiao Hua could still be so 'confident' before, presumably because Luo Tan didn't notice the clues about his intention to seize the body.

Although I don't know how Xiao Hua did it, there must be some special means.

But he doesn't need to do anything, just a proper 'awakening' is enough.

"Junior still has some things to deal with, so I won't disturb senior."

Seeing that it was almost done, Mu Zhian opened his mouth to say goodbye. I can’t continue chatting any more. This tea art demonstration is just fine. If it’s too much, it’s easy to expose the flaws.

Luo Tan nodded slightly and glanced at Mu Zhian thoughtfully.

…

After Mu Zhian left, silence returned to the hall.

Luo Tan's fingertips tapped lightly on the edge of the chair, her eyes slightly lowered, her pale golden eyes filled with darkness, as if she was thinking about something.

"Is Xiao Hua still outside?" Luo Tan suddenly asked the maid beside him softly.

The maid replied respectfully: "He said he knew his mistake and was repenting outside the palace gate."

When she said this, the maid had a trace of doubt in her eyes and said, "Xiao Hua's matter has been resolved. Is His Majesty still worried about other things?"

"For example...Qing Emperor?" the maid asked cautiously.

When Mu Zhian was attacked, Emperor Qing would naturally be dissatisfied since he was his Taoist companion. I think His Majesty would only be troubled by this matter.

"Mu Zhian said before that he explained it to Emperor Qing. Emperor Qing is very wise and knows that I will definitely give her an explanation."

"Besides, if it's really about Qing Emperor that worries him, then I'm afraid Ye Qingxin will also be worried about it." Luo Tan said calmly.

The maid was surprised and said: "That powerful person from heaven...? But she is not an ancestor of the Ye family, how can she help Mu Zhian?"

"It's no surprise that anyone would help him."

Luo Tan raised his head and looked at the morning sky through the window, and said quietly: "His value is much more important than you think."

She did not explain any more, but continued:

"Go and prepare the ingredients for the Peeping Heart Pill. I will be of great use later."

…

The winter sunshine shines on the ancient sect buildings, adding a bit of classical flavor.

Nowadays, all the monks gather at the South Bank. Instead of going to the South Bank, Mu Zhian came to the pilgrimage hall alone and walked leisurely in the square.

He put on a white robe today. Compared with his previous attire, he looked a little less aristocratic, but more elegant and scholarly.

"Sister Mengrou, although you don't have a competition today, does it matter if you don't practice?"

Wei Mengrou had secretly followed her on her way to Luotan Hall, but Mu Zhian didn't expose her.

"Your level is too low. You were attacked again last time. It's not safe to be alone." Wei Mengrou said calmly.

Mu Zhian slowed down his pace slightly until he was side by side with Wei Mengrou, then he smiled and said, "Are you worried about me?"

A faint blush appeared on Wei Mengrou's ice-like beautiful face, and she forced herself to be calm: "It's just that you are too weak, so I don't trust you."

That being said, Mu Zhian naturally understands how to understand.

"Since the incident with the first demon emperor, there have been far fewer people coming to the temple."

Mu Zhian admired the petals swaying in the wind in the pilgrimage hall, glanced at her, and continued: "Does Sister Mengrou like peach blossoms?"

Wei Mengrou's goose-yellow dress was fluttering in the cold wind. She said calmly: "On average, I don't have a good impression when I think of someone who has given peach blossoms to many people before."

"Even if I made a mistake in sending the peach blossom, wouldn't I be 100% responsible if Sister Mengrou didn't stop me?" Mu Zhian also gave her a sideways look.

Wei Mengrou: "?"

Mu Zhian glanced at her and smiled: "Just kidding, I didn't know your thoughts at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have done so many famous scenes of social death in front of you."

Recalling that he had done whatever he wanted without any hesitation in front of Wei Mengrou, now that he thought about it carefully, Mu Zhian felt a little regretful.

But who would have known that the maid who once despised him would be with him now?

"Then thank you for letting me see through your true nature." Wei Mengrou glanced at Mu Zhian sideways.

Mu Zhian held Wei Mengrou's soft little hand and said softly: "But even so, we are still together."

Wei Mengrou's body stiffened slightly, and she subconsciously raised her eyes to glance at Mu Zhian, then looked away in a panic and fell silent.

"Actually speaking, it doesn't matter even if you don't practice. The aura of my natural cauldron can quickly give aura to others... Let's just continue with it tonight, how about it?" Mu Zhian tilted his head and smiled.

Wei Mengrou glared at him and said quietly: "My body has not recovered yet... give me some time."

She said so, but Mu Zhian knew that she only spoke like this because she was shy.

He pondered for a moment and continued: "Actually, it doesn't have to be direct... Changing the method can also give you spiritual energy, and you can also feel the mystery of spiritual energy with your own mouth."

Wei Mengrou's rosy little mouth, lightly rouged, opened slightly. The curiosity in her heart made her want to ask, but she vaguely felt that the content was not serious.

Mu Zhian lowered his head slightly, leaned into her ear, and whispered something.

Wei Mengrou stiffened slightly, raised her eyes suddenly and gave him a look full of disgust, but her cheeks became even more burning, and her red color was extremely attractive. She buried her head and even stopped walking.

Hmm... Sister Mengrou is indeed the same as Yao Meng, with high attack and low defense, so she can't stand teasing.

Mu Zhian smiled knowingly and was about to speak.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a slight buzzing in his ears. He held his breath and concentrated, and soon noticed the news from the Void Nightmare who was secretly following Ye Yu.

Although he couldn't speak, he signed a master-servant contract with the Void Nightmare, so he could naturally understand what the Void Nightmare meant.

"What's wrong?" Mu Zhian asked using the special method of the master-servant contract.

Soon, the news of the Void Nightmare came to his mind: "Ye Yu will arrive at the Chaos Land in about a day and a half. I went there in advance through the void. Now the demon cultivators have completely occupied the Chaos Land and will not let anyone set foot there."

Mu Zhian was slightly stunned, and soon there was a bit of thinking in his eyes.

It seems that there is really something in this Chaos Land?

I wonder if the Queen of the Demon Realm knows about this...
