It turns out, they were the main characters.

Seeing this, Ye Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He's always looking for something better, even when he's already in the bowl. He deserves it!

Seeing that Mu Zhian knocked on the door several times but still did not receive a response from Ye Lingxuan, Ye Yu finally felt relieved.

Continuing to stay here and disturb her will only make Lingxuan more disgusted. This young master Mu seems to be really panicked this time, he doesn't even understand this kind of reasoning.

Ye Yu turned and quietly left.

Mu Zhian knocked on the door again, and when he didn't get a response, he sighed softly, "Lingxuan, do you not want to see me, or do you hate me?"

"I don't dislike or hate Young Master Mu, I'm just tired and want to rest," Ye Lingxuan replied calmly.

"Old Wei, please ask him to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man dressed in a black robe appeared in front of Mu Zhi'an with a smile on his face and said, "Young friend Mu, please go back. My young lady is tired today and does not want to see anyone."

Mu Zhian was "chased" out of the courtyard by Elder Wei. He stopped abruptly, turned to look at the old man behind him, and said, "You must be Lingxuan's attendant. But isn't it forbidden for non-disciples to enter the Liangyi Sect?"

"I was a little worried about Miss, so I secretly followed her to take a look. I'll be returning in a few days," Old Master Wei said slowly.

In fact, his actions at the Liangyi Sect were tolerated by the chief disciples and elders who turned a blind eye.

However, even Ye Lingxuan's attendants could not stay at the Liangyi Sect for long.

Since the Liangyi Sect has given him this face, he should also give them face in return.

"From now on, I will have to trouble you, young friend Mu, to take good care of my young lady."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian gave a helpless, bitter smile: "Now that things have turned out this way, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get close to Lingxuan in the future..."

Unexpectedly, Old Wei's expression changed swiftly. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Young friend Mu, I have traveled this world for decades and have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. Do you really think I am one of those naive girls who are easily swayed by love?"

Are you indirectly calling your young lady stupid...? Mu Zhian cupped his hands and said, "I will take good care of Lingxuan from now on, but I will have to trouble you to let me stay here for the time being."

Old Wei waved his hand, signaling Mu Zhian to get over there quickly.

Mu Zhian rushed into the courtyard and arrived at Ye Lingxuan's door, knocking again: "Lingxuan, may I come in?"

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

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

There was no sound from inside the room until, after a moment, Ye Lingxuan opened the window, glanced at Mu Zhian indifferently, and said, "Young Master Mu, I am really tired today, please go back."

His tone was utterly indifferent. After speaking, he turned and went back into his room, ignoring Mu Zhian.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have left by now, filled with anxiety and uncertainty.

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.

If you still don't understand what she means, then you're a fool.

The idea that someone is tired and wants to rest and doesn't want to be disturbed is something only Ye Yu would believe.

When a girl feels wronged, that's precisely when her psychological defenses are at their weakest.

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

Without hesitation, Mu Zhian climbed through the window and entered the room, where he saw Ye Lingxuan sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, her demeanor elegant, though a hint of annoyance still lingered on her fair face.

At her feet, a pure white snow lotus lay discarded on the ground, clearly just recently.

This was unprecedented, which gives you an idea of ​​just how angry she was.

However, this annoyance actually made her seem more human, rather than like an unapproachable goddess.

Seeing that Ye Lingxuan didn't kick him out after he entered the room, Mu Zhian knew that things were going well. He stepped forward to Ye Lingxuan's side, looked at her pretty face, and asked, "Is Lingxuan sister angry?"

Upon seeing Mu Zhian speak, Ye Lingxuan immediately turned her head and looked over, coldly saying, "Young Master Mu, please say what you have to say directly. I need to rest afterward."

She already knew that Mu Zhian had ulterior motives towards her and wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

However, those thoughts were all in her subconscious, and Ye Lingxuan unconsciously avoided this fact.

However, today's snow lotus incident has brought all these things that she originally kept hidden in her subconscious to the forefront. Even if she originally intended to avoid these things, she can no longer avoid them now.

Noticing that Mu Zhian was staring straight at her, Ye Lingxuan didn't want to look at him, so she turned her face away, leaving Mu Zhian with only a stunning profile.

“Lingxuan, I’ve always felt that Xuelian and you are a perfect match.” Mu Zhian suddenly sighed and sat down next to her.

Ye Lingxuan said calmly, "Young Master Mu, you might as well use such words to fool those naive young girls, but what did you just say in front of the main hall? Have you forgotten?"

Not long ago, Mu Zhian said that Xue Lian and Bai Ruoxi were more suitable for each other, and now he suddenly says that Xue Lian is a better match for her. Only a fool would believe such a thing.

"Perhaps Lingxuan thinks I'm a two-timing philanderer," Mu Zhian sighed softly. "Actually, the facts are right in front of me, and I have nothing to say."

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

"However, I do think this snow lotus suits you perfectly, so please accept it. Perhaps after this, I won't be able to give you any more gifts."

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

Ye Lingxuan initially didn't want to pay him any attention, but upon hearing this, she was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Mu Zhian, asking, "What did you mean just now?"

Mu Zhian didn't speak, but gently patted the dust off the snow lotus and said, "The snow lotus is very similar to Sister Lingxuan, but Ruoxi is also extremely similar to it."

“I had a battle with your brother Ye Yu in the Dragon Head Forest before, you should have heard about it from Elder Wei.”

Ye Lingxuan's eyes flickered slightly, but she remained silent.

She had previously had someone secretly investigate Mu Zhi'an's affairs and did know about this matter, but she still didn't know what Mu Zhi'an wanted to say at this moment.

"Actually, back in the Dragon Head Forest, Ruoxi and I were almost killed by demon cultivators at the cave entrance. If it weren't for Ruoxi, I'd probably be..."

Looking at the snow lotus in his hand, Mu Zhian said softly, "Before the man in black robes died, he left a mark of a demon cultivator on my body. I don't know when this mark will erupt. If that day really comes, I'm afraid I'll be mistaken for a demon cultivator."

"The pink aura that emanated from you earlier, could it be related to demon cultivators?" Ye Lingxuan's eyes changed slightly, and she subconsciously looked up at Mu Zhian.

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

"I'm not entirely sure what the specifics are. Perhaps what you said is true. That pinkish aura might just be a mark left by a demonic cultivator within my body."

"If the sect members find out, my best outcome will probably be expulsion from the sect. Ruoxi and I have similar experiences. She was insecure for a long time because of this. If I don't choose her today, she will probably feel even more insecure."

Ye Lingxuan's originally cold expression softened slightly, but she did not forgive him, saying, "In the end, the person you really want to give the snow lotus to is still Bai Ruoxi, isn't that right?"

Although his tone remained cold, the indifference in his eyes had clearly melted away.

It turns out that he had considered the feelings of everyone present, and ultimately chose her to avoid making Bai Ruoxi feel even more inferior...

"Why didn't you explain earlier that you have the mark of a demon cultivator in your body?" Ye Lingxuan still asked with suspicion.

Mu Zhian smiled wryly, "Lingxuan was so wary of me back then, what good would it have done if I had said anything? Besides, I don't want to cause you so much trouble."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxuan's eyes softened slightly, but still held a hint of displeasure. She said, "Are you treating me like a complete outsider?"

"At first, you treated me like a stranger, no, to be precise, like a thief..." Mu Zhian thought to himself.

Ye Lingxuan suddenly paused, then gave a low hum: "If you had said so earlier, I could still have helped you..."

"But it's not too late now," she added.

Mu Zhian was slightly moved, his eyes filled with emotion as he looked at Ye Lingxuan, and said, "If the sect discovers the mark left by the demon realm in my body in the future, would Sister Lingxuan be willing to plead with the sect for me?"

"But this might turn you and the sect into enemies, which is not what I want to see."

"The Liangyi Sect will not stand against us for the sake of a mere cultivator like you," Ye Lingxuan said calmly.

It seems that the mysterious force behind Ye Lingxuan is truly astonishing, even a behemoth like the Liangyi Sect would give her some face... Mu Zhian understood in his heart.

Ye Lingxuan's voice softened slightly as she whispered, "If that day ever comes, I will make sure you leave."

Mu Zhian remained silent, staring blankly at Ye Lingxuan's exquisite and flawless beautiful face.

At that moment, all that remained in his eyes was emotion and deep affection.

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

“I know you’re still angry right now. If seeing this snow lotus again will remind you of unpleasant things, then just throw it away.”

"What would happen if I threw it away?" She glanced at Mu Zhian.

"I will find a flower that suits Lingxuan even better than the snow lotus and give it to you," Mu Zhian said softly, gazing intently at Ye Lingxuan.

"Legend has it that a flower called the Purple Sunflower blooms in the demon realm. If I find it in the future, I will pick it and give it to you."

Upon hearing the word "demon realm," Ye Lingxuan's expression changed slightly.

Then, seeing Mu Zhian's serious expression, her eyes softened slightly, but her tone remained elegant and reserved as she said, "Young Master Mu really knows how to make people happy."

She said this, but without the initial aloofness that kept people at arm's length.

Phew... It seems like everything is fine for now.

Seeing this, Mu Zhian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Just as he guessed, choosing Bai Ruoxi back then was the right thing to do.

Bai Ruoxi appears aloof and delicate, but Mu Zhian has realized during their time together that Miss Bai is actually quite skilled at playing the field. If she had chosen someone else, she might have been subjected to a love lock after they returned home.

My senior sister is an extremely proud and incredibly intelligent person, but I don't know when she found out about his multitasking. Choosing her won't make her happy; she might even resent his behavior of wanting more than he has.

When dealing with a senior female student, one should do so subtly and gently.

As for Ye Lingxuan, although she usually appears to be elegant and refined and seems quite shrewd, she actually has no experience in matters of the heart.

In addition, she was a princess who was pampered since childhood, so as long as you can sincerely make her happy, her seemingly indifferent heart will melt further.

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

Ye Qian is a simple girl with no bad intentions, so this incident will naturally make her sad and upset. However, if you visit her later and comfort her carefully, she will open up to you.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly, and after considering that the time was almost up, he said:

"By the way, you haven't collected your sect token yet, have you? I'm going out for a bit, so I'll bring you one while I'm at it."

Ye Lingxuan nodded demurely and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Young Master Mu."

This girl is indeed a little proud and still refuses to call me Brother Mu... Mu Zhian nodded slightly. After chatting with Ye Lingxuan for a few more minutes, he saw that her expression had relaxed and she was no longer as indifferent as before.

So Mu Zhian didn't linger any longer and soon left the room feeling refreshed.

On his way back, he stopped a sect disciple and asked him where to pick up the sect token. After walking along the path for a while, Mu Zhi'an returned to the courtyard where he would be living.

Wei Mengrou didn't even ask Mu Zhian; she just glanced at him and guessed what was going on. She said disdainfully, "Scumbag."
