It turns out, they were the main characters.

This is truly a little rich woman, able to carry 500,000 spirit stones with her... Mu Zhian looked at Ye Lingxuan's delicate and pretty face, and the cute and alluring blush on her cheeks, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

What kind of power is behind Ye Lingxuan... that can casually produce 500,000 spirit stones?

"By the way, Brother Mu, you still need to be more careful in the future. This time, everything was fine because Senior Linglong was at Tianhe Garden, but if she's not there next time, it will be troublesome," Ye Lingxuan suddenly reminded him.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled, "It's alright even if Senior Linglong isn't here."

Senior Sister Lan had already reported Bai Ruoxi's matter to the Sect Master. Since the other party had not made any move, it meant that they had tacitly agreed to the matter.

What's there to worry about when the higher-ups of the Liangyi Sect have already tacitly agreed to it?

From beginning to end, only the Third Prince felt that he had only narrowly lost because of the Spirit Dragon.

In fact, from the very beginning, the Third Prince had no chance of winning this "game".

Mu Zhian gently patted Ye Lingxuan's head, revealing his standard warm smile: "Lingxuan, you must be tired from receiving the inheritance these past few days. Go back and rest first. I'll stew some Eight Treasure Crane later and send it over to you and Qian'er."

This is Tianhe Garden, after all. Bai Ruoxi was meditating, but with such a commotion just now, it's impossible that she didn't notice.

If you saw this scene after you finished meditating... Mu Zhian was giving Ye Lingxuan a head pat, and Bai Ruoxi was standing between the two of them watching them.

Hmm... a classic "White Album" scenario should be avoided as much as possible.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"This young master of the Mu family doesn't seem to be as simple as he appears to be..." Yu Ziyan, the head of Daofeng, sighed with a touch of emotion as she stood in mid-air.

"His strength is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, but his abilities are outstanding. I just sensed that Wei Mengrou, the maid of the Mu family, was also there, probably responsible for protecting his safety," Xiang Yan said.

“Logically speaking, once you enter the Liangyi Sect, you shouldn’t need to care about the master-servant relationship like before… Wei Mengrou is so devoted to him, she must really have some skills.” Yu Ziyan nodded slightly.

"And Senior Spirit Dragon is there too..."

When Yi Hao finished speaking, he looked at the two of them and said, "Gentlemen, we should at least keep the matter of Senior Linglong under wraps until the inner disciple selection is over in two days."

Both chiefs nodded in agreement with Yi Hao's words.

The three leaders' minds gradually became more active.

They now have a huge advantage: they know that Linglong and Mu Zhian have a special relationship, information that the other leaders of the main peaks do not possess.

He had gained the approval of the Spirit Dragon, and also had an excellent relationship with the several geniuses they had their eyes on...

We really need to think carefully about how to select these inner disciples.

Huabao Peak.

In front of the towering hall that reaches into the clouds, the head monk of Huabao Peak sits high before the throne.

Ren Kaitai was originally the son of the Queen Mother of the East Continent. He joined the Liangyi Sect a hundred years ago and was appreciated by his first master, the first head of Huabao Peak. Thirty years ago, he succeeded the previous head and became the new head of Huabao Peak.

He was considered one of the less senior cultivators among the main peaks.

However, in the last sect competition, Huabao Peak ranked in the middle of the pack, and this year their goal is to be in the top three.

This goal is not difficult.

As long as we recruit a disciple with suitable talent this time, and nurture him properly along with the other disciples, it won't be difficult for him to shine in the sect competition.

Among the disciples taking the assessment this time, the majority were geniuses from Tianxuan City... This is actually quite normal, after all, Tianxuan City is located in a place with excellent conditions and is a land of outstanding people and resources.

However, all the major peaks are probably eager to make their moves. If they can't offer some suitable "benefits," it will be difficult to recruit promising disciples in the inner disciple selection in two days.

What other main peaks can offer, Huabao Peak can offer too; moreover, Huabao Peak can also provide an enticing reward.

—Spirit of the artifact.

Since its establishment, Huabao Peak has only produced a limited number of artifact spirits, making them quite precious.

However, among the disciples who joined the sect this time, there were a few geniuses who were worthy of being called spirits.

Ren Kaitai tapped his fingertips lightly on the edge of the chair, lost in thought.

At this moment, the deputy chief minister floated lightly in from outside the palace gate. Ren Kaitai looked up and smiled, "What brings you here to find me in the palace today?"

Normally, Ning Shuwen spends most of his time forging weapons or studying the method of enchanting weapon spirits, so the two chiefs don't have much time to communicate.

"Senior Linglong has appeared." Ning Shuwen said solemnly in a low voice.

Ren Kaitai laughed and said, "Senior Linglong appears every now and then to bestow immortal opportunities upon the disciples of those sects... Who received an immortal opportunity this time? Bai Ruoxi, or perhaps Ye Lingxuan?"

Ning Shuwen slowly shook his head: "That's not what I want to talk about, it's something else."

Under the watchful gaze of the head of Huabao Peak, Ning Shuwen spoke again: "Senior Linglong is currently residing in the villa of a junior cultivator."

Ren Kaitai's gaze slowly froze, and he asked, "Who?"

“Mu Zhian”.

Ren Kaitai's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Senior Linglong lives with him...?"

After a moment's thought, Ren Kaitai immediately asked, "Are there other people who know about this?"

"The leaders of Daofeng, Chunyangfeng, and Canghaifeng know about this, but they will probably keep it a secret for the time being."

Ren Kaitai shook his head and said, "It may not be possible to keep it a secret. At least the library will probably be the first to know."

Both the Library and the Enforcement Hall are neutral and have a good relationship. Yan Ruyu rarely leaves her residence, but she is aware of what is happening in the outside world.

And this was some intelligence given to her by the agents of the Enforcement Hall.

"I need to act quickly..." Ren Kaitai thought to himself.

Originally, Mu Zhian's name was not on the list of candidates for inner disciples.

But if Mu Zhian is chosen by the Spirit Dragon... then the meaning will be completely different.

Looking at the head of the family who seemed to be deep in thought, Ning Shuwen hesitated for a moment before bracing himself and saying, "Not long ago, the Third Prince went to the Glazed Palace to cause trouble... The Demon Measuring Ruler detected the demonic energy on Senior Spirit Dragon's body, and thus shattered."

Ren Kaitai suddenly came to his senses, raised his head sharply, stared at the deputy chief, but remained silent for a long time.

Although the two were the chief and deputy chief, their power differed greatly, so much so that Ren Kaitai's gaze made the deputy chief feel immense pressure.

"You granted him the power to search?" Ren Kaitai's gaze was sharp as he stared intently at the deputy chief below the stage.

"I just thought that if it really was a demon cultivator, capturing it wouldn't be a loss for us, but who knew... that Senior Spirit Dragon would be living there."

Ning Shuwen broke out in a cold sweat and quickly added, "You can rest assured, Chief. Mu Zhian did not take the opportunity to complain. He only caused trouble for Ning Long."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Liangyi Sect, who wielded immense power, softened his expression considerably and said, "This disciple certainly knows how to conduct himself... You should prepare for the next two days by taking out two enlightened weapons from the armory to prepare for the inner disciple selection in two days."

In terms of divine weapons and treasures alone, no other main peak can match the abundance and extravagance of Huabao Peak.

"Two...?"

Ning Shuwen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Chief, doesn't our main peak only recruit one inner disciple? Could it be... that you have someone else in mind?"

As he said this, he seemed to think of a name: "Mu Zhian?"

Seeing Ren Kaitai nod slightly, Ning Shuwen asked with doubt, "But isn't Mu Zhian a disciple of Canghai Peak?"

Having undergone the sect assessment at Canghai Peak, one is naturally a disciple of Canghai Peak, unless selected by the head of another main peak during the inner disciple selection two days later.

Ren Kaitai slowly stood up and smiled, "Why don't we just poach him?"

"I have been the head of Huabao Peak for over thirty years, but I have never shown any talent. It is time to bring in some fresh blood."

The top three in the sect competition a few years later will receive a large amount of resources from the elders' council, and the three chief disciples will also receive a chance to become immortals.

It's worth paying some price for this destiny with immortals.

……

"Senior Lin Ling, this is the tenderest piece of meat from the Eight Treasure Crane. Please eat more."

Mu Zhian returned to the villa and immediately prepared a stewed crane soup, which he first brought into Linglong's room.

Although Linglong didn't say a word or help in any way this time, he still made a great contribution.

A person's reputation precedes them. Someone like Linglong doesn't even need to ask for Mu Zhian's help; just by standing there, even without saying a word, she commands the respect and awe of the sect's leaders and elders.

"This time, I'm really sorry to have troubled you, senior. If it weren't for you, Ruoxi might have really been in some trouble." Mu Zhian looked at Lin Ling, whose expression remained unchanged, and continued to speak.

Lin Ling held the bowl with both hands, sipping the crane soup slowly, savoring the wonderful taste spreading through her mouth.

She raised her finger and wrote on the table: "Great taste, improvement."

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "After all, this is the second time I've prepared ingredients like Eight Treasure Crane for my senior, so it's normal to have made some progress."

At this point, he changed the subject, saying, "Senior, it seems that every time Ruoxi advances to a higher rank, a trace of demonic energy leaks out. Is there a solution?"

The higher Bai Ruoxi's cultivation level, the more of the Three-Tailed Fox bloodline will awaken. Although she has already reported this to the sect, given the current circumstances, it would be best if others did not know about this matter.

Lin Ling pondered for a moment and wrote on the table: "A nine-tailed fox will not be detected by anyone as a demon."

"It's too difficult to become a nine-tailed fox..." Mu Zhian said with a helpless smile.

By the time Bai Ruoxi becomes a nine-tailed fox, she will probably have already reached the Enlightenment Realm or even the Dao Integration Realm... At that time, she won't have to worry about exposing her demonic aura at all.

As he said this, he secretly observed Lin Ling a few more times.

She was holding a bowl, looking calm and composed. Her profile was fair and flawless, but her eyes were bright as she stared at the crane soup in the bowl, as if nothing could affect her emotions.

Mu Zhian suddenly reached out and grabbed the bowl from Lin Ling's hand, trying to take it away.

Lin Ling slightly turned her head to look at Mu Zhian, tilting her head slightly: "Aaaa?"

It sounds a bit like saying: "Hey bro, getting cocky?"

As expected, this spirit dragon lady is very possessive of her food... Mu Zhian smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you would like another bowl of soup made by the Eight Treasure Crane."

A glint appeared in Lin Ling's eyes, and she pecked her head with a "Aaa" sound.

Hmm... Obviously, Lin Ling isn't indifferent to everything; at least she cares a lot about food.

Mu Zhian gained a deeper understanding of the spirit dragon, who was unfathomable in the eyes of outsiders.

After leaving the room and serving Lin Ling another bowl of crane soup, Mu Zhian served another bowl of crane soup to Wei Mengrou. Then, he took the opportunity to leave Tianhe Garden and went to the villa where the Ye sisters lived.

After entering the villa and walking a few dozen steps, one sees Ye Lingxuan sitting in the courtyard drinking hot tea in the afternoon. She is holding a book in her hands, and in the sunlight, her snow-white skin seems to be tinged with a warm glow.

Beside Ye Lingxuan, the pure and lovely Ye Qian sat, leaning on the table and tilting her head to look at her sister. Her high breasts rested on the table, and a small section of her snow-white calves was exposed under her skirt, with her feet in light blue embroidered shoes dangling.
