It turns out, they were the main characters.

Ye Lingxuan turned her head to look at the old man, her expression calm, and smiled, "I'm waiting for someone to come and explain this to me."

Meanwhile, after leaving, Ye Yu did not go to Ye Qian's residence, but went directly back to his own room.

That's enough for tonight.

Now he doesn't need to do anything extra; he can just meditate and cultivate in peace.

Lingxuan is a very smart girl. Now that things have come to this point, even if she doesn't go to Qian'er to confirm the truth herself, she can find out by asking around whether Mu Zhi'an went to see Ye Qian tonight.

Although he lost a cousin, he gained the possibility of pursuing Lingxuan... So it's not a loss at all.

Ultimately, my cousin is only good for being pampered... while Lingxuan is good for pursuing.

Thinking of that beautiful and refined girl whose looks were in no way inferior to Bai Ruoxi, Ye Yu's heart suddenly burned with passion.

Looking back now, I realize how foolish I was. Bai Ruoxi is beautiful, but Ye Lingxuan is just as stunning. Why did I pursue Bai Ruoxi so relentlessly?

No, it's not just Ye Lingxuan, but also that vixen from the Morning Dawn Chamber of Commerce, and even Senior Sister Lan, they are all stunning beauties...

Mu Zhian pursued a single tree, but he could pursue an entire forest!

With his talent and even his status as an alchemist, it's not impossible for him to stand out within the Liangyi Sect.

Mu Zhian thought he had won, but in reality, he had been utterly defeated tonight!

Ye Yu calmed himself down, sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, absorbed the mixed spiritual energy around him into his body, and began to strive to improve his cultivation level.

While some are diligently cultivating their skills, others are taking advantage of the situation.

No, this isn't exactly taking advantage of the chaos. According to Mu Zhian, this is called alternative cultivation.

He was born as a furnace, and although he couldn't extract the spiritual energy from the other furnace into his own body, he could still contribute to the cultivation levels of other girls.

As a kind-hearted person who enjoys helping others, Mu Zhian has always liked to help others.

Inside the room, candlelight illuminated the space.

Looking at Ye Qian, whose face was flushed and whose eyes were darting away in the candlelight, Mu Zhi'an asked softly, "Qian'er, have you finally forgiven me?"

Ye Qian sat upright in the chair, looking down at her toes, but could only see her two soft, fully developed breasts.

She seemed a little nervous and uneasy, feeling the boy playing with one of her small hands, and felt even more shy. She whispered, "I've already said, I have nothing to do with Brother Mu—"

Mu Zhian gently squeezed Ye Qian's palm, raised his hand and gently stroked her delicate and smooth face. Gazing at that pure and charming face that was now slightly flushed, he said, "Why are you still saying such things, Qian'er?"

"Have you forgotten what I just told you?"

Ye Qian was stunned for a moment. Recalling Mu Zhian's sweet words and the deep affection he had shown when he looked at her, she felt a little touched. The slight annoyance she felt towards Mu Zhian completely disappeared.

But when she thought of how he had bullied her so brazenly not long ago, she hummed softly and scolded him, "All you do is try to make girls happy."

...Phew, looks like everything's fine now.

Seeing this scene, Mu Zhian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, Ye Qian's problem was temporarily resolved.

Ye Qian is a very innocent girl, so it's not difficult to make her happy.

However, you have to find the right connections. If someone is as simple-minded as Ye Yu, Ye Qian probably wouldn't even want to meet him.

Of course, it was precisely because of Ye Yu that Ye Qian was able to get forgiveness so quickly... If I had to say, this time it really was thanks to him.

"Qian'er, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now?" Mu Zhi'an asked.

Ye Qian softly hummed in agreement, then gently wiped away the last trace of rouge from the corner of her lips with her finger, giving Mu Zhian a somewhat resentful glance.

"How annoying, now I have to reapply rouge." Her tone was full of resentment, but her eyes were gentle.

But I was already planning to rest anyway... so it doesn't really matter.

……

Mu Zhian closed the door and left. As he passed through the courtyard, he looked around to make sure no one was there, then immediately turned back to Ye Lingxuan's residence.

Although I've already been there once today, I still need to go again just to be on the safe side.

As for the reasons...

Firstly, Ye Lingxuan has a vast intelligence network, and he could vaguely sense Ye Lingxuan's high regard for her younger sister, and even her guilt towards Ye Qian.

Secondly, if he were Ye Yu and wanted to secretly sow discord, the best course of action would be to inform Ye Lingxuan or Bai Ruoxi about this matter tonight.

Chapter 101 caused quite a stir; the news of 4K spread throughout the sect.

After comforting Ye Qian to sleep, Mu Zhian left the room and followed the familiar path in the courtyard to another mansion, where he met Ye Lingxuan, who was sitting in front of the window in a daze.

Seemingly noticing Mu Zhian's presence, Ye Lingxuan turned her head and looked over, puzzled, "It's so late, is there anything else, Young Master Mu?"

"I do have something I want to tell you, and we can chat a bit. Is it convenient for you to open the door now, Lingxuan?" Mu Zhian looked up and smiled.

Ye Lingxuan gently shook her head and said, "You should just tell me directly. I'm already getting ready to rest."

She felt that if Mu Zhian were to come in now, it wouldn't just be a simple chat.

"I went to see Qian'er tonight," Mu Zhi'an said slowly, gazing at Ye Lingxuan's face.

There was no surprise on her face, so it seemed she already knew about it... After Mu Zhian finished speaking, seeing Ye Lingxuan's completely unmoved expression, he understood slightly.

"Why did you have to come and tell me specifically if you were going to find Qian'er, Young Master Mu?" Ye Lingxuan finally put down her hand that was supporting her cheek and stared into Mu Zhi'an's eyes.

This girl may be a novice when it comes to relationships, but she possesses considerable wisdom in other areas. If she experiences more in the future and matures, she will likely become quite formidable.

Hmm... terrifying in every sense of the word.

Mu Zhian gazed calmly into Ye Lingxuan's bright and beautiful eyes, and said sincerely, "I want to face you honestly and openly, and hope to have no regrets in the future."

"Young Master Mu went to see Qian'er late at night, and then came to tell me about this... Is this what you mean by having no guilt?" Ye Lingxuan smiled faintly.

“Qian’er is a good girl, but she’s also very easily hurt. I’m afraid she might get stuck in a rut if she’s alone,” Mu Zhi’an said helplessly.

Ye Lingxuan remained silent.

That's true. She practically grew up with Ye Qian, so she naturally understands that younger sister's personality very well.

If Ye Qian were left alone in her room to overthink, her naive younger sister might actually do something rash, which is why she hoped Mu Zhian could go and comfort Ye Qian.

However, when Ye Lingxuan actually heard that he had gone to see Ye Qian, she felt an indescribable discomfort.

Mu Zhian glanced at the blue and white porcelain vase on the table and the snow lotus in it, and felt relieved. He said, "Today's sect assessment consumed too much spiritual energy. Sister Lingxuan must be tired too, so I won't bother you any longer."

Ye Lingxuan's eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't help but look Mu Zhian up and down a couple more times.

Speaking of which, he did consume a lot of spiritual energy during the sect's assessment of his control over the formation today... Ye Lingxuan hesitated for a moment, then raised her right hand, took out a bottle of pills from her storage ring, and handed it to Mu Zhian through the window.

"This is...?" Mu Zhian looked up at her. His already slightly pale and handsome face seemed even more delicate under the moonlight.

The thought that Mu Zhian had become like this to help her and Ye Qian pass the test made Ye Lingxuan's slight displeasure disappear, and her expression softened considerably. She said:

"There are about three Spirit Replenishing Pills here. Young Master Mu, take one tonight, and your spiritual energy should be fully restored by the second half of the night."

Spirit-Replenishing Pill... If I remember correctly, it should be a fifth-grade pill. Most auction houses sell it for over 20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones, and there's still no market for it... She really is a little rich woman.

Mu Zhian looked up at Ye Lingxuan's delicate face and couldn't help but grasp Ye Lingxuan's small hands, whispering, "Lingxuan, you are so kind."

Ye Lingxuan's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with composure, "Young Master Mu, please have some self-respect."

"Are you still angry with me?" Mu Zhian sighed softly. "Actually, if Sister Lingxuan could change her way of addressing me, it would be more helpful to my spirit than the Spirit-Replenishing Pill."

Feeling the warmth of Mu Zhi'an's hand coming from her small hand, and being stared at by Mu Zhi'an like that, even a girl as elegant and refined as Ye Lingxuan felt a little flustered. After stuffing the pill into his hand, she gently pulled her hand out of his palm.

Then she turned her face away, giving Mu Zhian only a perfect profile view, and whispered:

"Young Master Mu, it's getting late, please return."

Mu Zhian gazed at Ye Lingxuan for a long time, then sighed, "Then I won't disturb you any longer, Lingxuan."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Ye Lingxuan watched Mu Zhian's departing figure. Moonlight shone down from the horizon, making his tall and upright figure appear somewhat lonely in the quiet courtyard.

Ye Lingxuan opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but eventually she slowly closed it.

“...Brother Mu”.

Just as Mu Zhian was about to leave, a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz drifted from inside the room. Then, Ye Lingxuan quickly closed the window, seemingly not wanting Mu Zhian to see her expression.

Mu Zhian paused for a moment, but did not turn around, and left happily with the Spirit-Replenishing Pill.

……

Under the cover of darkness, Mu Zhian knocked on Bai Ruoxi's door and found her meditating by the bedside.

Perhaps because it was night, Miss Bai was wearing a loose white undergarment that accentuated her excellent figure, and her temperament was as pure and aloof as frost and snow.

In front of Bai Ruoxi, a ball of light emitting a pale white glow slowly rotated. Its light was quite soft, transforming the mixed spiritual energy in the room into spiritual energy that could be directly absorbed into the body.

Mu Zhian slowly walked to the bedside and sat down beside her.

The moment she got close, Bai Ruoxi seemed to sense something, her curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

She turned to look beside her, seemingly not very surprised, and asked, "Mulang, where did you go last night?"

"I went out to learn about some matters within the sect, and I think it will be of great help to us in the future," Mu Zhian said, turning his head to look at the beauty beside him.

She had clearly put on some makeup tonight; her lips were luscious, and in the candlelight, her usually aloof face was made even more alluring by her adornments.

"What do you want to know?" Bai Ruoxi asked curiously.

Mu Zhian took off his robe and draped it over her, then pulled the beauty into his arms, saying, "It's nothing important, don't worry about it."

Feeling the warmth of his chest, Bai Ruoxi's original intention to continue asking questions vanished instantly. She raised her head and stared at him adoringly, her eyes glazed over, her face flushed as if she were drunk.

Mu Zhian was not surprised by Bai Ruoxi's reaction.

Although Miss Bai usually appears aloof and unapproachable, those who spend time with her will realize that she is actually a delicate beauty with little sense of security.

She would find it hard to resist such a bold and intimate hug from Mu Zhian, and she would never resist it.

"You chose me today, Senior Sister Lan and the others must be very angry. Are you alright?" Bai Ruoxi's dreamlike voice came from beside her ear, her almond-shaped eyes full of worry.

Mu Zhian looked down at her cool and aloof face. A beauty like Bai Ruoxi usually gives people a feeling of coldness and fragility. Coupled with her extraordinary talent, ordinary people would feel ashamed in front of her.

But Mu Zhian was different. From the moment he entered the room, all he could think about was the "I am the only one who can do what I do" mentality. He felt no inferiority at all, and instead only wanted to suppress her so that he could see her show a charming demeanor that was the exact opposite of her usual reservedness.

"Xuelian is most similar to you, I'm just telling the truth." Mu Zhian put his arm around her waist, allowing her to lean completely against him.
