It turns out, they were the main characters.

Mu Zhian admired it in his heart and continued reading: "The path of cultivation is long. Only by avoiding arrogance and impatience can you go further. The elders in the sect, including Senior Sister Yan, also dislike arrogant disciples. You must remember this."

Her tone carried the concern of a senior sister for her junior brother. Given that aloof senior sister's personality, for her to say something like that meant she definitely considered me one of her own... Mu Zhian raised an eyebrow and a faint smile appeared on his lips as he continued reading.

"Speaking of which, I promised you a reward if you became an inner disciple."

"I'll go to the pilgrimage temple tomorrow to give you a gift."

Senior sister is so kind, she even gave me a gift... Mu Zhian's calm smile froze on his face as he stared at the letter in his hand for a long time.

tomorrow……?

Chapter 134 The Sect Elder Wants Me to Be a Kept Man 4.5K

This is going to be difficult...

If I go to the Pilgrimage Hall to find my senior sister tomorrow, what about Lingxuan?

But if I refuse my senior sister now... it will also be very troublesome.

Mu Zhian stared at the contents of the letter and fell into a long silence.

Does this senior sister have to be such a domineering female CEO?!

Not giving them any chance to refuse?

Normally it wouldn't be a problem, but I have a date with Lingxuan tomorrow...

After pondering for a long time, Mu Zhian ground the inkstone and began to write something on the letter paper.

Since I can't stop her and I can't refuse my senior sister, I might as well take the initiative myself.

Having done all this, he put the letter away and left the room.

Just then, a slender figure was seen quietly approaching in the distant sky.

The maid, dressed in a yellow dress with embroidered shoes on her delicate white feet, gracefully landed not far in front of Mu Zhian.

"Sister Mengrou." Mu Zhian raised his hand and greeted her with a smile.

Wei Mengrou gave a soft "hmm," then looked at the young master with a puzzled expression and asked, "Are you going out? Did something happen?"

"As expected of Sister Mengrou, she can see through everything at a glance." Mu Zhian praised sincerely.

Before he could even say a word, Wei Mengrou immediately sensed that he had something on his mind.

Although she appears cold and aloof on ordinary days, this maid actually cares a lot about her young master.

Wei Mengrou remained unmoved by Mu Zhian's praise, simply staring at him silently, waiting for his reply.

“Sister Lingxuan invited me to the Pilgrimage Hall tomorrow to see the peach blossoms,” Mu Zhian said.

Wei Mengrou raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Isn't this exactly what you want, for a fickle young master like you?"

She knew that her young master had been eyeing the Ye sisters for quite some time, but Ye Lingxuan had been rather wary of this young master Mu before.

Ye Lingxuan's initiative to invite him on a date was exactly what Mu Zhian wanted.

Mu Zhian remained silent for a long time before sighing softly, "But Senior Sister Lan also invited me just now."

Wei Mengrou: "..."

She immediately glanced at Mu Zhian and said indifferently, "Serves you right."

“Sister Mengrou, you should help think of a solution now,” Mu Zhian said.

"I'm only responsible for your safety; everything else is none of my business."

Wei Mengrou added, "If they hunt me down in the future, that's not within my protection scope either."

After all, if Mu Zhian is hunted down by Bai Ruoxi and the others, it would be his own fault.

However, given Miss Bai's personality, she probably wouldn't pursue Mu Zhi'an.

This young master is very shrewd. He always manages to keep things within a suitable "degree." Although it seems like he is constantly teetering on the edge of self-destruction, he always manages to stay alive and kicking. This is because he always manages to grasp the right balance.

Wei Mengrou raised her hand and handed him a black sword, saying calmly, "This is one of the gifts that the head of Huabao Peak gave me. I already have a weapon, so you can take it and use it."

“It has been imbued with a spirit. If you infuse it with spiritual energy, it can carry you on your sword and fly, but it can only last for an hour,” Wei Mengrou added.

The black sword had no fancy patterns on its surface, but it looked incredibly sharp and gleamed with a chilling luster in the sunlight.

Such a celestial sword would be priceless and unavailable at any auction house.

Ultimately, since the establishment of Huabao Peak, only about twenty magical artifacts and weapons have been imbued with spirits.

The head of Huabao Peak presented two items, which shows just how sincere they were.

Mu Zhian looked at Wei Mengrou with some emotion, and took the opportunity to grasp the maid's slightly cool, fair hand, saying, "Sister Mengrou is so kind."

Wei Mengrou's expression was cold as she said, "Don't touch me."

She should have bitten her lip lightly, then gently clutched her clothes, and said "Don't, don't touch me" with those pitiful, moist eyes. That would have felt even better... Mu Zhian smiled and took the black sword she offered, saying, "Thank you."

Then, he suddenly asked, "Did that chief say how to resolve your luck problem?"

Wei Mengrou was silent for a moment, then said, "The chief said we need to think of another way, and we'll discuss it with the chief of Daofeng later."

Mu Zhian looked thoughtful.

It seems that even cultivators at the Void Returning Realm are finding Mengrou's luck troublesome...

"Are you planning to go out now?" Wei Mengrou quickly changed the subject.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and smiled, "After all, I miss my senior sister very much right now, so I can't wait to go find her."

If I go to see my senior sister now, I won't need to go to the Pilgrimage Hall again tomorrow.

Wei Mengrou seemed to understand what her young master wanted to do, and immediately gave him a disdainful sidelong glance.

Sooner or later you'll regret it.

Mu Zhian smiled but remained silent.

Let's talk about it when that day really comes... but the possibility of that is almost zero.

He knows when to have intimate conversations with whom.

If things drag on until tomorrow and Ye Lingxuan and Senior Sister Lan run into each other, then things will really get tricky...

No, that's no longer just a tricky situation, it's an unmanageable one.

After all, Lingxuan had finally improved her opinion of him because of the sect assessment and the matter of the spirit dragon, and this time she even took the initiative to invite him to go see the peach blossoms together.

If I run into my senior sister... that would be troublesome.

That's why we need to take the initiative.

Sometimes there's no need to be so rigid. Why insist on waiting to die in the same place...?

For us, wouldn't it be enough to just take the initiative and go to Liangyi Peak?

This not only expresses his eagerness to see his senior sister, but also allows him to free up time tomorrow.

A perfect two birds with one stone.

……

Dusk, Shaole Garden.

Yan Ruyu, who had just finished her meditation and was drinking morning tea and reading a book in the side hall, was surprised by a guest.

This guest was stunningly beautiful, dressed in a feathered robe, with a charming and gorgeous appearance. Yet, her beautiful eyes exuded the majesty and aloofness of a superior, making people hesitant to look up and meet her gaze.

"Senior Sister Yu, what brings you to my humble abode?" Yan Ruyu looked up and asked with a smile.

The woman who appeared in the side hall at this moment was Yu Ziyan, the Dao Peak Leader who held an extremely high position in the entire Liangyi Sect.

As she spoke, she poured Yu Ziyan a cup of tea and then invited her to sit down.

"Junior sister, it's been a long time. It seems you're still stuck at the third level of the Void Returning Realm and haven't made any progress?" Yu Ziyan took a sip of tea, her tone calm, with a charming smile on her lips.

The languid, noblewoman-like head of the library toyed with a strand of hair, glanced sideways at her former senior sister from the same sect, and said with a faint smile, "Senior sister came to see me just for such a trivial matter?"

Yu Ziyan smiled faintly: "Has the inner disciple you just accepted today already gone back?"

"I thought you'd be eager to keep him here and build a relationship with him."

There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly and asked, "What is Senior Sister trying to say?"

"Is Mu Zhi'an a natural furnace?" The high-ranking Daoist nun's gaze narrowed slightly as she stared at Yan Ruyu.

"Yes." Yan Ruyu was not surprised, but answered in a calm tone.

Both she and Yu Ziyan cultivated the principles of nature and were naturally quite sensitive to spiritual energy. She was able to sense the abnormality in Mu Zhian, and Yu Ziyan was naturally able to as well.

"For the sake of cultivation, Junior Sister doesn't even spare a disciple who has just entered the sect?" Yu Ziyan's tone carried a hint of an elder scolding a junior.

"I don't understand what you're saying at all, Senior Sister." Yan Ruyu picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "I've taken a liking to Mu Zhian's talent and I admire his abilities. Is that not allowed?"

Seeing that Zi Yan frowned slightly, Yan Ruyu continued, "The innate furnace is indeed an attractive thing, but I would not do anything to a junior."

Of course, if he takes the initiative to do something, that would be a completely different story.

Yu Ziyan gazed silently at Yan Ruyu's exquisite profile and said, "I won't comment on your private life, but if you've done anything that violates the sect's image—"

Yan Ruyu chuckled and interrupted, "Then how about we give that disciple to Senior Sister?"

Yu Ziyan frowned slightly and said, "I disdain using this method to advance my rank."

"In that case, don't bother me while I'm teaching my disciples."

Yan Ruyu gently traced the smooth, white thigh beneath her black robe with her fingertips, her eyelids slightly raised, a hint of a smile on her face, and said:

"Besides, does Senior Sister think we can't become a beautiful story, or does she think my charm isn't enough to attract a young man?"

Originally, the head of the library was considering whether it was appropriate to do such a thing. After all, the disciple seemed to be a rather innocent young man, and it would be bad if he were to suffer some psychological trauma because of her covetousness.

But hearing Yu Ziyan "instructing" her in that tone, Yan Ruyu naturally got angry and did whatever she could to provoke her senior sister.

"If Senior Sister came to see me today just to talk about this, you can go back now."

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "I know how to teach my disciples."

Yu Ziyan was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "You may not care, but now all three elders of Dao Peak know Mu Zhian's secret. If others in the sect find out about this, I'm afraid that Pavilion Master Yan will be despised in the Liangyi Sect in the future."
