It turns out, they were the main characters.

After folding the second letter into a paper crane, Mu Zhian threw it out the window. After watching the two paper cranes disappear from sight, he got up, stretched, and left the study.

The origin of this glazed tile palace is unknown, but behind each room lies a hidden world.

Bai Ruoxi and Mu Zhian were like this, as were other disciples of the sect.

Mu Zhian found Huang Manting's residence and met a rather attractive female disciple at the entrance.

After the female disciple went in first to report on Mu Zhi'an's matter and received a clear answer, Mu Zhi'an was led into the side hall by her.

"My sister is still bathing, please wait a moment, Young Master Mu." The female disciple nodded politely, her eyes secretly scrutinizing Mu Zhi'an with a hint of hostility.

It seems that Huang Manting is quite capable... It was one thing for her to be in the Morning Light Chamber of Commerce, but she actually managed to gain "followers" within the Two Elements Sect.

And she's quite pretty... Mu Zhi'an poured himself a cup of tea while sizing up the female disciple's figure.

She looked quite plump, and her thighs were a bit fleshy... Mu Zhian subtly withdrew his gaze.

Looking at a beautiful woman a few more times is a sign of respect, but staring at her is considered indecent.

After waiting in the side hall for nearly half an hour, Huang Manting finally emerged from behind the side hall after much anticipation.

Whether it was because she knew Mu Zhian was coming or because it was a personal habit after taking a bath, Huang Manting deliberately wore a loose and casual robe, revealing a pair of shapely and firm long legs, a slender waist, and a full and perky chest.

She gracefully sat down at the table, her posture upright, her left leg crossed over her right, her delicate white feet dangling, intentionally or unintentionally seducing Mu Zhi'an.

Huang Manting considered herself to be as beautiful as an angel, but the other party already had the eldest daughter of the Bai family by his side. If she continued to act like a reserved "lady" as before, she probably would never be able to seduce him and make him kneel at her feet.

That's why, when she heard that Mu Zhian was visiting while she was taking a rose bath, she simply changed her clothes.

Although Mu Zhian is intelligent, he was so obsessed with women in the past that it's impossible for him to change his ways so quickly.

Besides, she had just heard a few days ago that Mu Zhian and the Ye sisters had a rather close relationship.

However, to Huang Manting's disappointment, after she sat down, Mu Zhian only glanced at her before quickly looking away.

Clearly, because of Bai Ruoxi and the maid Wei Mengrou in his household, Mu Zhian has developed a strong immunity to beauty.

However... she won't give up on her prey so easily.

Huang Manting raised her eyes and gave a look to the female disciple beside her. The female disciple seemed somewhat unwilling, but in the end she reluctantly nodded and left the side hall.

Huang Manting raised her delicate hand and poured Mu Zhian a cup of tea, smiling as she said, "Young Master Mu, since you joined the sect, I've never seen you come to visit me before. What brings you here today?"

Or perhaps—

She gently placed her slender hand on the back of Mu Zhi'an's hand and smiled, "You've changed your mind and decided to give up on Miss Bai and come to me instead?"

Mu Zhian shook his head reservedly and said, "Miss Huang, I came to see you because it's important. Please, please don't do this."

If Huang Manting hadn't been familiar with Mu Zhian last time, she probably would have really fallen for his trick.

Seeing his "reserve" now, she couldn't help but recall that he had used the same method to play hard to get back at the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, and she couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly.

She shifted her weight to one leg, held up her teacup, her eyes sparkling with allure, and sighed softly, "Young Master Mu, you didn't come here just to put on an act, did you?"

She turned her head and looked at him shyly, biting her lip, and said in a soft voice, "A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, Young Master Mu~"

As she spoke, she touched her clothes with her fingertips, and a glimpse of snow-white skin seemed to emerge from them.

Mu Zhian glanced at it quickly, then shook his head gently: "Miss Huang, I already have Ruoxi... I can't let her down."

After speaking, he looked away, fully demonstrating what it means to be a gentleman who does not look at what is improper.

But this reaction only fueled Huang Manting's competitive spirit. She rested her chin on her hand and said with a smile, "Young Master Mu always comes to see me with a purpose. Last time, you refused my invitation to chat with me late into the night. This time, you're not just here to chat, are you?"

“However,” she changed the subject, “before Young Master Mu explains his purpose, I would like to know why you helped me obtain the inheritance of destiny that day?”

"Also, how did you know the true method for obtaining the inheritance of destiny?"

If Mu Zhian hadn't telepathically told her not to inject spiritual energy into the stone tablet, she might have already done so... And in that case, her final result might have been the same as Gongsun Cheng's, fainting due to the depletion of spiritual energy and then being "sent" out of the Spirit Dragon's Cave.

It is also impossible to inherit the fortune of the spirit dragon.

I just made that up... If I didn't tell you this, how could I do you a "favor"? Mu Zhian maintained his calm smile: "It's a secret."

"As for why I helped... I had an agreement with Uncle Huang before, and I was just fulfilling that promise."

Huang Manting seemed somewhat surprised and couldn't help but take a second look at Mu Zhian. Soon, a faint smile appeared on her lips as she said with a charming smile, "Young Master Mu is indeed a gentleman who keeps his promises."

Previously, in her impression, Mu Zhian was a man who liked to scheme against people, but she never expected that he would be a man of his word.

He gave her the immortal destiny of inheriting fortune simply because of the promise he made at the Dawn Merchant Guild that day... This is not something a petty person would do.

After all, this is the inheritance of destiny, a tremendous opportunity that countless people desire.

Gazing at Mu Zhian's handsome profile, Huang Manting took a sip of tea, making her lips slightly moist, and softly said:

"The Third Prince has secretly sent people to investigate you."

Mu Zhian looked surprised and asked Huang Manting, puzzled, "Why is he investigating me...?"

Huang Manting chuckled softly: "He's a very vengeful person. You had some issues with him before, right? So naturally he wants to get revenge now."

"He even told you something like this... It seems he trusts you a lot," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Huang Manting played with a strand of hair and said softly, "He mentioned you by chance before and told me not to get too close to you."

"However... love is something that is sometimes beyond one's control."

She held the teacup to Mu Zhi'an's lips and smiled alluringly: "What do you think, Young Master Mu?"

Mu Zhian took a sip of tea and sighed softly, "Miss Huang, I really didn't come to see you for this kind of thing..."

"It's alright, we can finish our business and then chat about romance and nature~" Huang Manting smiled sweetly.

"The Third Prince would be heartbroken if he saw this," Mu Zhian said.

"Oh."

A disdainful smile curved at the corners of Miss Huang's lips as she chuckled, "What does his sadness have to do with me?"

If it were the Crown Prince… no, if it were that eldest princess, she might consider it.

The Morning Light Chamber of Commerce has branches all over the East Continent, so Huang Manting doesn't lack any material things at all; she simply wants spiritual fulfillment.

A "simp" can't provide a goddess with emotional fulfillment.

"But speaking of which, it seems that the Third Prince has a deputy chief backer supporting him," Huang Manting added.

"Young Master Mu, you'd better be careful."

Mu Zhian's expression did not change much.

He had been vaguely reminded of this matter by Lan Mulian before, so he naturally knew about it.

"Young Master Mu, are you really not considering staying here tonight?" Huang Manting looked up at Mu Zhian with sparkling eyes and changed the subject.

Mu Zhian shook his head helplessly: "Miss Huang, I'm really not that kind of person..."

The main reason is that Mu Zhian has been intimate with Bai Ruoxi several times today, and he has now temporarily entered a state of sagehood.

Moreover, if you actually accept Huang Manting's "request," you'll probably be ruthlessly abandoned after a while once you get tired of her.

The reason this woman is so enthusiastic towards him now is simply because he is someone Huang Manting can't have.

Once you actually get it, you don't cherish it as much.

In short, Mu Zhian is the fisherman, and Huang Manting is the fish in the water.

Now, the fish in the water are inviting Mu Zhian to come into the water.

But what Mu Zhian wanted was to catch the fish and bring it ashore.

Looking at Mu Zhian's indifferent eyes, Huang Manting bit her lip, on the verge of tears: "Young Master Mu, you are so heartless. I was even planning to firmly refuse to provide the Third Prince with your information."

Unexpectedly, Mu Zhian turned to look at her and smiled, "Just tell the Third Prince everything you know."

"Tell him the truth about me and Ruoxi."

Huang Manting looked at Mu Zhian suspiciously for a few moments, and seeing that he wasn't joking, she couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Mu Zhian gave a faint smile: "You'll find out later."

"Just tell me now, otherwise why should people listen to you?"

"Or stay and chat with them tonight." She gently tugged at Mu Zhian's sleeve, raising her moist eyes.

Mu Zhian shook his head reservedly and said, "Next time, definitely next time."

Huang Manting stared silently at Mu Zhian's serious expression, feeling that she could see Mu Zhian less and less.

According to the original intelligence, Mu Zhian should be a man who enjoys beautiful women, but even though she tried so hard to seduce him tonight, he still didn't take the bait... How could a normal man possibly refuse her?

Finally, Huang Manting sighed softly, "For the sake of the inheritance of fortune, I will help you with this favor... but next time, Young Master Mu will have to spend more time with me."

"However, is Young Master Mu so certain that the Third Prince will come to me to inquire about you?" she asked again.

“He will come,” Mu Zhian said confidently.

Men love to show off in front of the women they like.

If he wanted to show off how tough his fists were in front of Miss Huang, this was a rare opportunity, and he certainly wouldn't miss it.

After watching Mu Zhian leave, Huang Manting took a sip of tea and then noticed a hot breath beside her.

She lowered her eyes, glanced at the beautiful female disciple kneeling at her feet, and said softly:

"My feet are a little sore, could you give me a massage?"

After she finished speaking, she looked away, playing with a strand of hair between her fingers, while secretly pondering what Mu Zhian had said that evening.

Tell the Third Prince the truth about him...? Isn't that handing a knife to someone else?

What exactly is Mu Zhian trying to do?

Moreover, was he so certain that the Third Prince would come to see him?

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a female disciple hurriedly entered from outside. She first glanced enviously at the girl kneeling at Huang Manting's feet, then looked at Huang Manting and said:

"Master, the Third Prince is outside requesting an audience."

"They really came..." Huang Manting's eyes flickered slightly, and then a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.

"Please let him in."

Well, we'll find out what Young Master Mu is up to soon enough, won't we?

As for who to help... it was actually quite clear from the beginning.
