It turns out, they were the main characters.

Mu Zhian accepted the invitation, opened the envelope, glanced at it briefly, and couldn't help but smile to himself.

The selection ceremony is scheduled for two days later, but it seems that... the selection ceremony for inner disciples has already begun ahead of schedule.

Chapter 126 This woman is destined for me! 6K

The Third Prince sat in the side hall, the tea in his hand long since cold.

His face was extremely gloomy.

That's understandable, considering what happened just yesterday.

...That's a million spirit stones!

Even for a prince, it would be very difficult to produce so many spirit stones all at once.

But now, due to the "oath" and face-saving, they have to take out the spirit stone, even if it means swallowing their pride.

However, if word gets out, this action will likely become a laughing stock in the palace.

Even within the Liangyi Sect, rumors have been circulating for the past two days that he is "slandering fellow disciples."

It's clear that Ruoxi was originally a demon cultivator...

Recalling everything that happened yesterday, and Mu Zhian's ugly face when he framed him, the Third Prince's anger burned uncontrollably, and he gripped the teacup even tighter.

Click.

A crack appeared on the surface of the teacup, and then he crushed it completely in his hand, spilling tea onto the ground.

The Third Prince looked expressionlessly at the disciple who walked in and asked, "What is it?"

"What are you still pretending for now?" The disciple inwardly scoffed, but outwardly remained respectful, saying, "Your Highness, it seems we can withdraw the letter we sent to the palace yesterday ahead of schedule."

The Third Prince paused for a moment.

After returning yesterday, the Third Prince wrote a letter and ordered it to be sent back to his confidant in the Great Qian Dynasty overnight, instructing him to prepare one million spirit stones.

However, at this moment, the disciple said that the letter could be withdrawn.

"What do you mean?" The Third Prince asked coldly without even looking up.

"It is said that the eldest princess left the palace two days ago and arrived at Liangyi Sect this morning. She also seems to know what happened yesterday..."

The Third Prince's inner rage was suddenly doused with cold water, leaving him stunned. He murmured, "My elder sister is here...?"

The eldest princess of the Daqian Dynasty had a good relationship with many people in the Liangyi Sect. She was also a mentor and friend to the head of the library. Both of them loved poetry and books, and the eldest princess would often visit Yan Ruyu at the Liangyi Sect.

She's probably here to see that Master Yan.

Given her status as the eldest princess, she probably does indeed possess a million spirit stones.

If we seek out the Empress now, we can avoid the gossip and rumors that will circulate in the palace in the future.

After all, that royal sister isn't the kind of person who would go around talking nonsense.

But if I ask her... will she really lend it to me?

The Third Prince was born to the Imperial Concubine, while the Eldest Princess was the daughter of the Empress.

The difference between the two is quite significant, and his relationship with that royal sister is rather ordinary.

If you go to her, you'll probably get a scolding.

The third prince's expression was rather unpleasant, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where is my elder sister now?"

“Someone saw her go to the library…” the disciple said.

The Third Prince remained silent for a moment, then said, "Very well, then let's go to the library."

"By the way, Your Highness, the Deputy Chief specifically asked me to instruct... that you must not have any further conflicts with Mu Zhi'an."

Just as the Third Prince stood up, the disciple suddenly spoke again.

The Third Prince stiffened slightly, looked at his disciple, and said in a deep voice, "Did the Deputy Chief tell you?"

Seeing the disciple nod slightly, the Third Prince's face suddenly darkened.

Despite the fact that Mu Zhian's mansion was secretly harboring a demon cultivator, he was forced to swallow his anger.

Clearly, because of the spirit dragon, that royal uncle was also afraid.

The same applies to the other chiefs...

That's understandable, after all, Mu Zhian is backed by the Spirit Dragon.

But a demon cultivator is a demon cultivator... If Bai Ruoxi's identity as a demon cultivator is confirmed, even if there is a spirit dragon, they can't just lie through their teeth, can they?

The Third Prince clenched his fists, wiped the tea off his sleeves, and strode out of the side hall.

……

After completing the necessary procedures, Mu Zhian, led by the secret agent, stepped up the stairs to the top floor of the library, where he met Yan Ruyu in the elegant hall.

She wore a loose black robe, her beautiful hair flowing naturally.

At first glance, it may not seem to have anything particularly striking about it, but Mu Zhian, who has spent many years among women, can roughly guess what kind of alluring and sexy curves this figure hidden under the black robe has.

"Greetings, Pavilion Master Yan," Mu Zhian said, clasping his hands in greeting.

Yan Ruyu looked up and smiled slightly, saying, "Sit down."

Her tone was quite gentle, without any airs of an elder. She had the intellectual air of a female teacher, and at this moment, she was looking at the little boy who remained silent and seemed a little nervous in front of her with a gentle smile.

"Don't be nervous. You and Bai Ruoxi, who is joining the sect this time, have a good relationship, right? Just use the same way you usually chat with her as you do with me," Yan Ruyu said gently.

My conversations with Ruoxi usually end up going to bed for a more intimate chat... Mu Zhian maintained a humble attitude and said respectfully, "After all, you are a senior, and I must show you the respect due to you, otherwise I would feel uneasy."

Mu Zhi paused for a moment, then continued reservedly, "However, chatting with Pavilion Master Yan is indeed very relaxing, just like talking to the older sister next door."

As he said this, he seemed to genuinely believe it, and couldn't help but sigh sincerely.

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly quite pleased with Mu Zhian's words. She poured him a cup of tea and said, "A lot happened at Tianhe Garden yesterday."

Mu Zhian took a sip of tea without showing any emotion and sighed, "Actually, all I want to do is be a good person, but I always encounter some trouble."

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly: "Conflicts between disciples are inevitable, but there will be no fighting and killing within the sect like outside."

She then changed the subject, asking, "In this selection of inner disciples, do you have a preferred main peak to choose from?"

Mu Zhian smiled helplessly and said, "Senior is joking. With my qualifications, I'm already grateful to have been selected. How could I possibly think about choosing the main peak myself?"

Yan Ruyu smiled faintly: "Besides the nine main peaks, my place and the Law Enforcement Hall are also qualified to recruit inner disciples."

There seems to be some hidden meaning in these words.

"But I heard that you haven't actively recruited any inner disciples for a long time, have you?" Mu Zhian asked in surprise.

The head of the library is a rather Buddhist person. She has little interest in the sect competition or even in training disciples. While the major peaks have been fighting over the quotas for years, her place remains peaceful.

But unexpectedly, the other party has the idea of ​​recruiting inner disciples this time?

"We haven't actively recruited anyone for a long time, but that doesn't mean we don't have the idea of ​​recruiting inner disciples now."

Yan Ruyu sat upright with a gentle smile on her face and said, "I have a close relationship with Junior Sister Lan, and I trust her judgment."

All current signs indicate that Mu Zhian has some big secrets, and these secrets are so important that even the three chiefs who were present yesterday have to take them seriously.

This news alone is enough to warrant attention.

"If I could become an inner disciple of the library, I would serve you like a slave," Mu Zhian immediately clasped his hands in a gesture of loyalty.

Yan Ruyu smiled gently: "No need to rush to answer, you can think about it some more."

She paused, then continued with the concern of an elder for a younger person:

"After becoming a disciple of a sect, you can obtain a cultivation technique from the library. You probably haven't been there yet?"

Seeing Mu Zhian nod slightly, Yan Ruyu continued, "You can try going to the third floor of the library. If you find a cultivation method that suits you, just reach out and take it. Consider it a gift from me to you."

Mu Zhian's face lit up with joy, and he said respectfully, "Thank you, senior!"

The head of the library, while not quite a great white shark like the sect leader, is at least a big fish...

If Yan Ruyu were to be depicted in modern times, she would probably be best suited as a female teacher with a voluptuous figure, holding a ruler, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Her temperament and appearance are both top-notch, the only drawback is that she is probably several times older than Mu Zhian... But that's not a problem, after all, in the world of cultivation, age is not an issue at all.

Yan Ruyu smiled slightly and said, "Go."

Having said that, he raised his hand and waved it.

Mu Zhian felt as if everything in his field of vision had suddenly shifted. One moment he was in the top hall of the library, but the next moment he appeared in a rather spacious place.

Occasionally, he could see groups of disciples from various sects around him. Sometimes, jade slips, scrolls, or even sheepskin-shaped cultivation manuals would appear out of thin air and then quickly pass by Mu Zhian's eyes and disappear from sight.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the surrounding sects would occasionally reach out to grab the techniques, but most of them could only grasp a phantom of the technique.

The library's three floors contain a large number of cultivation techniques, including many first-grade techniques, which are top-quality techniques that can accompany one throughout their life.

All disciples who enter the sect this time will have one opportunity to enter the library.

Whether one can obtain a top-tier martial arts technique depends on "luck".

If you have enough luck, you can attract top-quality cultivation techniques.

This is why many cultivators want to obtain the inheritance of the Spirit Dragon's fortune. After obtaining the inheritance, it will greatly benefit their various cultivation practices on the path of immortality.

Of course, if you don't want a top-tier cultivation technique, you can choose one in the cultivation technique area on the second floor.

However, the cultivation techniques stored on the second floor are only up to the sixth rank. Fifth rank and below cultivation techniques can only be obtained on the third floor by luck.

Just then, a jade slip happened to fly past his eyes. Mu Zhian reached out and grabbed it, easily catching it in his hand.

Upon closer inspection, four large characters were clearly written on it: ____

"A third-grade cultivation technique?!" Mu Zhian was somewhat surprised. He casually reached for another cultivation technique that flashed past his eyes, but this time, like the other disciples, he could only catch a phantom image.

His eyes flickered slightly as he recalled Yan Ruyu's words, seemingly realizing something.

He casually tossed away the third-grade cultivation technique in his hand, and the technique vanished into thin air.

Mu Zhian reached out to grab it again.

This time, I easily captured a cultivation technique.

Clearly, Yan Ruyu had granted him some kind of authority, allowing him to obtain any cultivation technique he desired on the third floor.
