It turns out, they were the main characters.

The servants who had been confiscated were gathered by Wei Mengrou in an open space, and they were now looking at Mu Zhian with terrified eyes.

It was as if they were looking at a demon.

They could vaguely hear the confrontation between Gongsun Zan and Mu Zhian coming from inside, but after that, Young Master Gongsun fell silent... and his colleagues who had been sent over were nowhere to be seen.

Mu Zhian...it's very likely he's going after Gongsun Zan!

“Sister Mengrou.” Mu Zhian looked at Wei Mengrou.

Wei Mengrou nodded slightly, pointed to the seven or eight servants, and asked, "What should we do with these people?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a chill ran down the spines of the servants. Some even knelt down and begged, "Young Master Mu, spare our lives! We were only ordered by Gongsun Zan to confiscate your property, we—"

"Forcibly taking advantage of the maids in the mansion, was that also ordered by Gongsun Zan?" Mu Zhian said with a sarcastic tone.

The servant immediately fell silent.

"Don't worry, someone will convict you later, and that person won't be me."

Mu Zhi'an glanced at the group of servants before him and said coldly, "I won't kill you all... of course,"

He paused, then asked, "What did you see in the mansion just now?"

"We didn't see anything..." they answered almost in unison.

“No.” Mu Zhian shook his head and said seriously, “You saw it.”

The servants all looked up, their eyes filled with fear.

This clearly means they have no intention of leaving them alive...

"You saw Gongsun Zan bullying the women, and Mu Zhi'an stood up for them and stopped him," Mu Zhi'an continued.

Bai Ruoxi glanced at Mu Zhian subconsciously.

This reason cannot explain Gongsun Zan's murder... Moreover, they were seen walking on this street by other people in Tianxuan City. The Gongsun family can find out by asking around.

Mu Zhian continued, "After that, Mu Zhian left, and after the confiscation of Gongsun Zan's property was completed, he was killed by a mysterious man in black robes. Do you understand?"

A man in black robes...?

The servants exchanged glances, all seeing doubt in each other's eyes.

But they immediately realized what was happening and quickly nodded in agreement.

Mu Zhian turned to look at Wei Mengrou and said, "Sister Mengrou, the rest is up to you."

Wei Mengrou gave a soft "Mmm".

The Refining Spirit Realm cultivates the primordial spirit. Once Wei Mengrou reaches the Refining Spirit Realm, she can modify other people's memories, or more accurately, use psychological suggestion on her enemies.

Of course, this also requires the cooperation of the other party.

These servants had no other choice at the moment... In the end, they didn't care what Gongsun Zan was like; as long as they could survive, that was enough.

Bai Ruoxi was still somewhat worried. She walked gracefully to Mu Zhian's side and whispered, "The patriarch of the Gongsun family may not believe such words."

Ultimately, no one would believe in the existence of the so-called black-robed man before they had seen him, let alone the shrewd Chief Gongsun.

"Just that alone wouldn't be enough for the clan leader to fully believe it."

Mu Zhian smiled: "But if he sees the man in black with his own eyes, would he still not believe it?"

Bai Ruoxi was taken aback.

"A mysterious expert at the Refining Spirit Realm has silently infiltrated Tianxuan City... Such a great threat, shouldn't we all unite against this?" Mu Zhian looked at Bai Ruoxi's beautiful profile and smiled, "What do you think, Miss Bai?"

Chapter 14 We must unite against external threats!

"United against external forces..."

Upon hearing Mu Zhian's words, Bai Ruoxi was first taken aback, then her beautiful eyes lit up.

If they could unite against the external forces and eliminate the man in black robes... in the meantime, the Bai family could finally catch their breath.

Although it's only a temporary solution, the Bai family desperately needs this much-needed respite.

Thinking of this, Bai Ruoxi's gaze towards Mu Zhian suddenly held a complex expression.

In the end, he still decided to help... Even though he hadn't given them anything, Mu Zhian still decided to help the Bai family.

“…Thank you.” Bai Ruoxi raised her eyes and said reservedly, her tone filled with undisguised gratitude.

A moment later, after giving psychological suggestions to the servants and maids in the courtyard, Wei Mengrou came to Mu Zhian's side.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Mengrou," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Wei Mengrou replied coldly, "Since you know that, then don't cause me any trouble."

As she spoke, her eyes softened, and she changed the subject, saying, "However, you did a good job this time."

She had thought that Mu Zhian, who was obsessed with good looks, was probably beyond saving for the rest of his life, but she never expected that he would change so much during this period of time.

Mu Zhian shook his head slightly and said, "In that situation, anyone would have stopped it."

“Young Master Mu is too modest. If it were just an ordinary bully oppressing a woman, perhaps someone would have stopped him,” Bai Ruoxi said softly. “But the other party is Gongsun Zan.”

The Gongsun family was a powerful force in Tianxuan City. Even when they saw Gongsun Zan bullying women, few dared to stop him.

The weak worried about being punished afterward, while the strong didn't want to antagonize the Gongsun family over such a trivial matter.

The person who stopped Gongsun Zan this time was none other than Mu Zhi'an.

"What are your plans for next?" Wei Mengrou asked Mu Zhian softly.

"I'll say it again."

Mu Zhian looked up at Wei Mengrou, gave her a gentle smile, and said, "Let the bullets fly for a while."

……

Ye Yu waited anxiously at the door, like an ant on a hot pan.

He had been waiting outside the mansion since the beginning, and several times he wanted to break in, but he was worried that entering the mansion at this time would cause some unnecessary conflict.

Although his talent has returned, he is still only at the Refining Essence Realm. With his current trump cards, he could barely fight even at the Qi Refining Realm, but he shouldn't show his strength too early.

It was precisely because he was preoccupied with this matter that he had not yet entered the mansion, but was instead waiting at the gate for his childhood sweetheart to come out.

However, nearly half an hour had passed since then, and his patience was gradually wearing thin. He was beginning to hesitate about whether he should force his way through the guards at the door to see what was going on inside.

Just then, the gate of the mansion was suddenly opened.

Ye Yu's eyes brightened slightly as he looked up and saw Bai Ruoxi, dressed in a white low-cut dress, gracefully walking out of the mansion, lifting the hem of her skirt.

Her snow-white skin glowed warmly in the sunlight, her chest proudly pushed up her clothes, and her cascading black hair fell naturally to her hips, simply tied up with a jade hairpin. Her exquisite face exuded a touch of aloofness, giving her the air of a classical beauty.

Ye Yu couldn't help but become somewhat engrossed in watching.

It must be said that she truly deserves to be called the number one beauty in Tianxuan City. Her face is almost perfect and flawless no matter when you look at it. It's easy to be captivated at first glance. No wonder Mu Zhian was so infatuated with her back then.

"Ruoxi, how is it inside now?" Ye Yu asked immediately.

Bai Ruoxi glanced at him and said softly, "Something unexpected happened. You should go home first today."

"And what about you?" Ye Yu asked instinctively.

"I also need to go back to the Bai family first," Bai Ruoxi said.

She needs to go back to the Bai family first and explain the matter to her mother... Of course, she will explain it according to what Mu Zhian just said.

It wasn't Mu Zhi'an who killed Gongsun Zan, but rather Gongsun Zan was later killed by a mysterious man in black robes... and that's how the story will unfold.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Bai Ruoxi's reply, Ye Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He could accept anything as long as it wasn't with Mu Zhian.

"If I were also in the Mu family, I would be the one to make the move today," Ye Yu said with a hint of regret.

Bai Ruoxi glanced at Ye Yu but didn't say anything.

If Ye Yu were a member of the Mu family, he might not have dared to lay a hand on Gongsun Zan.

Because this is ultimately detrimental to him, the reason for doing so is simply that, for Mu Zhian, the value of humanity is more important than the immediate benefits.

As a mature adult, doing this might be irrational, even impulsive... However, this impulsiveness is precisely what makes it so appealing.

"Let me take you home, Ruoxi." Ye Yu hurriedly stepped forward when he saw Bai Ruoxi about to leave.

"No need, I just want to be alone right now," Bai Ruoxi said coldly.

Ye Yu was somewhat disappointed and said, "Alright then... Be careful on the way back."

Bai Ruoxi gave a soft "hmm" and continued to wait outside the mansion.

Ye Yu glanced at Bai Ruoxi, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something.

But thinking of Bai Ruoxi's cold attitude, he finally sighed in frustration and left silently.

Not long after Ye Yu left, Bai Ruoxi was still staring at the gate of the mansion.

After a while, seeing Mu Zhian emerge from the mansion, she stepped forward and asked, "Young Master Mu, are you going back?"

Mu Zhian gave a soft "hmm".

"Since it's on the way, would you mind accompanying Ruoxi for a while longer?"

Mu Zhian glanced at Bai Ruoxi. Because he was standing on the steps, and Bai Ruoxi was wearing a low-cut long dress, he could see a different view from usual when looking down from above.

In fact, Gongsun Zan had ruined Mu Zhian's good mood for the day, and he had no desire to chat with anyone at all.

But alas... she was just too big.

Mu Zhian was deeply attracted.

After exchanging a brief glance with Bai Ruoxi, Mu Zhian nodded and smiled, "Okay."

Such a heart is so powerful that it's hard to refuse.

Chapter 15 The stage is set.

As the two walked down this secluded street, they sensed a faint, delicate fragrance wafting around them, and Mu Zhian couldn't help but sigh with a touch of melancholy.

In just a few days, however, very obvious changes have taken place around him.
