It turns out, they were the main characters.

This Pavilion Master Yan is quite pretty... Mu Zhian also clasped his hands in the crowd, secretly observing the Pavilion Master of the Library next to Senior Sister Lan.

Among the women Mu Zhian knows, there are others like this.

Unlike the women Yu Muzhian had known before, this one seemed to be well-read, possessing a more intellectual beauty in her jade-like appearance. Her dress perfectly outlined her sexy, voluptuous curves, exuding an alluring charm like a ripe peach.

However, Mu Zhian was a single-minded person. His gaze lingered on Yan Ruyu for only a few seconds before returning to the noble and aloof Senior Sister Lan.

This woman is indeed something else. Not only is she strong, but she is also very smart. In addition, she has a cool temperament and a great figure... Mu Zhian looked up at Lan Mulian, his eyes 'respectfully' gazing at her.

Lan Mulian's impression on Mu Zhian so far is that she is "unfathomable".

It's not just because of her abilities, but also because of her personality, background, and other factors.

He glanced at the hem of his clothes, which was stretched taut by her ample bosom, and sighed inwardly.

As expected, this senior sister was not only unfathomable, but also her heart was unfathomable.

Lan Mulian noticed someone in the crowd staring intently at her. She frowned slightly and followed that gaze.

Upon noticing that it was Mu Zhian's gaze, she lingered on him for a moment before looking away, her beautiful face expressionless.

"Senior Linglong has not opened his cave dwelling for a long time. He must be in a good mood this time. You must remember not to fight after entering the cave dwelling. It would be best if you had a chance to become immortal, but if you don't, don't force it."

"If you disturb Senior Linglong's quiet cultivation, you will be expelled from the cave."

Lan Mulian's clear and melodious voice echoed before the cave, and all the disciples clasped their fists in response, their eyes filled with eagerness to enter the cave.

"Senior sister, are there any other issues we need to be aware of once we enter the cave?"

Lan Mulian had just turned her gaze away when she suddenly heard Mu Zhian's voice in her ear.

She glanced at Mu Zhi'an and whispered, "Let fate decide."

My senior sister isn't bothered by trivial matters. Although she's angry with me, she wouldn't throw a tantrum over something so important. In other words, whether or not one can gain immortality in the Spirit Dragon's Cave Heaven depends entirely on "fate"... Mu Zhi'an understood this in his heart.

"Strange...why can't I enter this cave?"

Suddenly, a disciple from a sect spoke up from the crowd, looking at the other disciples who were entering the cave one after another, and then at himself who was still isolated. His eyes were filled with resentment.

"To enter the Spirit Dragon Cave Heaven, one must at least have a life of wealth and honor." Yan Ruyu smiled gently and said, "If one has ordinary luck, even if one enters the Cave Heaven, one will not gain anything."

Upon hearing this, many disciples from various sects expressed their regret, their eyes filled with disappointment.

A life of wealth and honor, to put it bluntly, is a life of good fortune.

To enter the Cave Heaven Palace, one must at least be born into wealth and nobility, or possess imperial purple aura and great fortune.

Luck and talent are two different concepts. Some people are very talented, but their luck is worse than others.

Some people have both exceptional talent and good fortune, and they are generally referred to as "chosen ones".

From the very beginning, the Spirit Dragon's Cave Heaven Palace had already screened out a large number of people.

"Senior Sister, I'm going into the Cave Heaven Palace now. I'll come find you tomorrow," Mu Zhi'an transmitted to Lan Mulian.

Lan Mulian looked at Mu Zhian with her beautiful eyes and transmitted her voice in a calm tone: "I had some free time the past two days, but I will be going into seclusion to meditate starting tomorrow, so it would be best if Young Master Mu did not disturb me."

That clear, pleasant voice carried a coldness towards Mu Zhian. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have already wanted to back away just by hearing such a distant and aloof tone.

But Mu Zhian was clearly in a good mood and not discouraged. He transmitted his voice again, saying, "I wanted to go and find my senior sister a couple of days ago, but there was a formation set up in Liangyi Peak..."

"The paper cranes that carry messages will not be blocked outside the formation," Lan Mulian replied indifferently, watching the sect disciples enter the Spirit Dragon Cave Heaven Palace one after another.

Each disciple's face held a hint of anticipation, as if they were all dreaming of gaining a remarkable destiny from this grotto-heaven.

They obviously had no idea that the seemingly unapproachable Senior Sister Lan was currently having a one-on-one 'private chat' with a junior cultivator.

My senior sister was blaming me for being too perfunctory before. If I want to contact her, there are plenty of ways.

This means she's waiting for an explanation from me, or rather, giving me a chance... Mu Zhian understood in his heart and sincerely apologized via telepathy: "After that day, I wrote three paper cranes to send to my senior sister, but in the end I didn't have the courage to send them to her."

Lan Mulian ignored him completely.

"Senior sister, why don't you meditate and cultivate again the day after tomorrow?" Mu Zhian tried to communicate again, but still did not get a response from Lan Mulian.

She didn't reject my telepathic message, which means there's still a chance... Mu Zhi'an pondered for a moment, then transmitted his message again:

"Senior sister, the song that Linglong sang not long ago was calling me."

Lan Mulian's gaze subtly fell on Mu Zhian, her face expressionless, and she simply transmitted her voice, "Was it you who the Spirit Dragon chose before?"

Senior Sister is indeed very concerned about this matter… Mu Zhian transmitted his voice, “This is a long story. If Senior Sister is free tomorrow, how about I come over for a cup of tea?”

Lan Mulian was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "You are a very smart child, but unfortunately you spend all your energy on crooked ways."

I understand, I understand. Liking other people is a crooked path. Only idolizing a cool and aloof senior sister is the true way... Mu Zhian said sincerely, "I will try my best to correct my ways in the future."

I hope to join the heart of my great senior sister as soon as possible.

"Write a paper crane and send it to Liangyi Peak before you come tomorrow, and I will take you to the back mountain." The aloof senior sister's tone softened a little, no longer as icy as it had been at the beginning.

"Furthermore, even if the spirit dragon summons you, remember not to harbor any evil thoughts towards it. It is very sensitive to the malice of others," Lan Mulian warned again via telepathy, clearly aware of Mu Zhian's character.

"My senior sister is so kind to me."

Mu Zhian's voice was full of sincerity and gratitude: "If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, I will do anything for you, even my life."

Mu Zhi'an had actually said these words to Lan Mulian once before, but she wouldn't mind if kind words were repeated a few more times.

Especially for a woman like Lan Mulian, who has high emotional intelligence and high IQ, she should be able to tell how sincere his words were.

Lan Mulian's bright smile made even the sunlight seem a little dimmer.

"Go ahead, Senior Sister Yan and I will stay outside the cave for an hour before leaving."

Mu Zhian respectfully replied "Yes," and then stepped into the cave with Ye Lingxuan and Wei Mengrou.

Lan Mulian's gaze sharpened slightly as she stared at Wei Mengrou's slender back, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Why was she also able to enter the Cave Heaven Palace...?

At this moment, Yan Ruyu turned her head to look at the woman beside her and suddenly smiled, "Junior sister, were you just communicating with that little cultivator? It seems you really think highly of him."

Lan Mulian snapped out of her daze, maintaining her usual calm smile, and said, "He had a few outstanding performances back in Tianxuan City, so I paid a little attention to him."

Yan Ruyu gazed at Lan Mulian's graceful figure and smiled gently, "I see."

Although his tone seemed calm and normal, his eyes held a deeper meaning when he looked up at Mu Zhian.

That's what they say, but given this junior's standards, it's almost impossible to get her attention just by showing "outstanding performance."

After all, there are far too many geniuses in this world.

Those who are able to enter this Spirit Dragon Cave Heavenly Palace are all people with extremely good fortune.

Besides, in terms of talent and luck alone, Ye Lingxuan, Ye Yu, and Bai Ruoxi, even if they are not as good as Mu Zhian, are not worse than him, right? Why doesn't Lan Mulian care so much about the others?

Clearly, Mu Zhian still harbors some secrets.

But then again... what kind of luck does Mu Zhian have?

If the person who attracted the spirit dragon that day wasn't Bai Ruoxi, but Mu Zhian...

What kind of fortune could attract the attention of the spirit dragon?

Yan Ruyu's beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, her red pupils revealing a deep and mysterious quality.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, after Mu Zhian and the others stepped into the cave, the ancient bronze gate closed.

Mu Zhian took Ye Lingxuan's small hand and said with concern, "Be careful. Although Senior Linglong doesn't seem hostile, there's no guarantee we won't encounter any danger. It's better if we stay together."

Ye Lingxuan glanced at Mu Zhian with a detached look, but surprisingly did not ask him to let go.

After all, Mu Zhian's words did make some sense.

"Sister Mengrou." Mu Zhian reached out his hand to Wei Mengrou again.

Wei Mengrou glanced at him and said indifferently, "No need. Holding hands now will affect my movements. If something happens, I might not be able to save you in time."

Mu Zhian said with emotion, "Sister Mengrou is so gentle."

"If it were before, you would have just said that I was too weak and a burden."

Wei Mengrou nodded gently: "If I had to say, you are indeed a burden."

"There's nothing I can do. After all, I've wasted a lot of time in the past, so I can only take it one step at a time. Besides, with Sister Mengrou here, I feel quite at ease," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Ye Lingxuan glanced at the boy beside her with a strange look, and couldn't help but whisper, "Brother Mu has a really good attitude."

Seeing this scene, she inexplicably thought of the time when Ye Yu had a mental breakdown because he was teased for having a low cultivation level back in the Ye family.

Despite being disliked by others, Mu Zhian acted as if nothing had happened, even making self-deprecating jokes... Putting everything else aside, his mentality alone is truly admirable.

“After all, what Sister Mengrou said is the truth.” Mu Zhian smiled. “Cultivation is something that cannot be rushed.”

“Cultivation can’t be rushed, but I see you’re quite anxious about cultivating every night, aren’t you?” Wei Mengrou said teasingly, glancing at him sideways.

Every night, I strive to improve Bai Ruoxi's cultivation.

Mu Zhian ignored her, coughed lightly, and casually changed the subject, saying, "It's really strange. If what that Pavilion Master Yan said is true, Sister Mengrou shouldn't be able to enter Senior Linglong's cave."

While holding Ye Lingxuan's small hand, Mu Zhian looked around and continued, "Moreover, we only arrived a little later than the other disciples, but now we can't see a single person."

Upon hearing this, Wei Mengrou also looked around, her delicate eyebrows inadvertently raised, and she said softly, "It is indeed a bit strange... I can't sense any spiritual energy from a sect disciple around here."

Logically speaking, they entered this grotto less than half an incense stick later than the others, but now there is not a single person in sight.

"Could it be that this grotto-heaven is divided into several starting points, and after we entered the grotto-heaven, we were assigned to one of the starting points?" Ye Lingxuan guessed.

She had seen similar descriptions in some books in the past. Some cultivators would connect the cave heavens they created together, and once inside the cave heaven, several different paths would branch out, each of which might lead to a different place.

Only by passing relevant tests can one gain the approval of the cave's master.

Just then, a melancholic yet beautiful song faintly reached my ears.

Although he couldn't understand the meaning of the song, Mu Zhian seemed to understand what Linglong meant.

He looked up at the door that had somehow become bright, and at the singing coming from inside it.

It's certain that the spirit dragon is inside that door!

It seems... they skipped the testing process and went straight to the finish line.

Mu Zhian gazed at the door, his eyes filled with curiosity about the unknown.

Let me see if Linglong is really a girl!
