It turns out, they were the main characters.

This was probably done to show Linglong... The chiefs all understood this, but they didn't think about it too deeply.

After all, the greatest value that Mu Zhian possesses is the spirit dragon behind him, isn't it?

While the eyes of the other leaders were filled with strange expressions, Yu Xuanji, the leader of Tianji Peak, narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling a strange feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

Even with the connection to the spirit dragon, the attitude displayed by this Dao Peak leader was a bit too enthusiastic... It was almost as if he was deliberately trying to gain Mu Zhi'an's favor.

This isn't like her at all...

On the other side, looking at the several chiefs before him, the old man from the forbidden zone had a solemn expression in his eyes and felt immense pressure.

The nine chief disciples are usually elusive, and the only reason we see them now is because they are currently holding the selection of inner disciples. After that, the only way to see them will probably be on their respective main peaks, and even then, it will depend on their mood.

But now, these nine chief disciples have appeared in a disciple's villa...?

To say it was for the sake of a disciple... that's a bit hard to believe.

But if it wasn't for this disciple, what other reason could there be?

Just then, a beautiful voice, like a song, suddenly came from behind: "Aaaa?"

Lin Ling hugged a crane's leg, tilted her head and looked at everyone, her beautiful red eyes filled with doubt.

"Does Senior Lin Ling mean that you are doing here so late...? Is that what you mean?" Mu Zhian, acting as the translator, glanced at Lin Ling tentatively.

"Aaa!" Lin Ling pecked her head like a chick, her beautiful red eyes filled with confusion, while she nibbled on the tender and juicy crane meat that the imperial chef had roasted for her.

However, this simple gaze alone made the chief members feel a chill run down their spines, and an involuntary sense of awe rose in their hearts.

The head of Huabao Peak stepped forward with a stiff upper lip, cupped his fists and said, "We just noticed that there seemed to be outsiders disturbing us, so we came to check the situation."

He could sense that the person the spirit dragon had just been staring at was him... and the reason for this was all because of the good deeds done by the deputy head of Huabao Peak and the third prince. Now, the spirit dragon must have remembered "Huabao Peak".

However... this memory is not a good one.

Yi Hao looked at the crane leg in Lin Ling's hand with a respectful yet strange gaze, and then secretly glanced at the exquisite and flawless face of the silver-haired beauty, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.

Even if you're stealing food, you should at least wipe it clean... However, this Senior Lin Ling doesn't seem to understand this principle. Right now, she's even reluctant to put down the crane leg in her hand in front of so many people.

Lin Ling turned her head slightly to look at Mu Zhian, and then wrote on the table: Why are they all here?

Mu Zhian said helplessly, "Senior should have heard it just now. The chief members only noticed that outsiders had entered Tianhe Garden, so they came to check."

"As for them," he glanced at Elder Shen and Zhou Cang standing beside him, and sighed softly, "I've already told them that the senior doesn't like to be disturbed, but they insisted on opening the door to see him. As a junior of lowly status, I couldn't very well stop them, so..."

First, he placed himself in the most vulnerable position, and then casually dumped a huge, dark pot on the heads of the two of them. This combination of moves made all nine leaders' eyes fall on Elder Shen.

“Old Master Shen, the fact that we turn a blind eye to your entry into the Liangyi Sect does not mean that we can let you act recklessly.”

A glint of light flashed in Yi Hao's eyes as he stared sharply at Elder Shen and said, "If we disturb Senior Linglong's cultivation, can you bear the responsibility? Or is this action also an order from your master?"

Senior Spirit Dragon...?

Old Shen was clearly not in a state of shock yet. After a brief moment of blankness, it was as if something suddenly occurred to him. When he looked up at the spirit dragon again, his heart was filled with astonishment, and he exclaimed, "The spirit dragon?!"

Is this silver-haired woman a spirit dragon?!

But how did she end up in a disciple's villa?!

If Wei Mengrou and Bai Ruoxi's talents only surprised this old man, then when he heard "spirit dragon," his body slowly stiffened, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

No wonder he felt an indescribable heart palpitation the moment he saw her... because this woman was the guardian beast of the Liangyi Sect!

At this moment, a cold snort suddenly came from the side. Yu Xuanji stared at the two of them and said in a cold voice, "You have trespassed on the disciple's residence and even disturbed Senior Linglong's cultivation. I will ask the Lord of the Forbidden Zone for an explanation."

This action is both a show for Linglong and a way to project the image of a protective elder, which is entirely beneficial.

Moreover, disturbing the spirit dragon's quiet cultivation without authorization, whether intentional or not... is an extremely serious matter.

Even if the spirit dragon wasn't cultivating at all, but was simply stealing and eating the eight-treasure crane it had just caught, the same would be true.

The higher-ups of the Liangyi Sect had initially turned a blind eye to these two people from the forbidden zone, simply because they were from the forbidden zone.

But if the spirit dragon is disturbed... then the meaning is completely different.

"It's one thing for the two of you to sneak into the Liangyi Sect before, but to cause such a commotion in the villa of a sect disciple, do you really think my sect has no one to rely on?"

"My inner disciple is also meditating in this villa tonight. If she finishes her meditation and finds an outsider coming in to disturb her, what will she think?"

As each of the chiefs spoke, Mu Zhi'an looked at all the chiefs who were standing on his side, and his gaze softened, feeling a warmth in his heart.

As expected, the elders of the sect are all good people. The men are kind and gentle, and the female elders and the female head are all beautiful and have pleasant voices... How wonderful.

There's something off about the way the Dao Peak Chief looks at you; it doesn't quite feel like the way an elder looks at a junior...

Yu Xuanji glanced at Mu Zhian casually, then her gaze lingered on Yu Ziyan for a moment, and she couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly.

The way the head of the Dao Peak looked at Mu Zhi'an seemed to go beyond simple affection for a disciple...

Yu Ziyan's kindness towards Mu Zhian is likely due to the spirit dragon.

Then the problem is coming...

What was it about Mu Zhian that attracted Senior Linglong?

The head of Tianji Peak stared silently at Mu Zhi'an, her alluring eyes revealing a deep, mysterious gaze.

You're bluffing us!

At this moment, Zhou Cang, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his head and stared at Mu Zhian, saying in a cold voice, "Mu Zhian, since you have been living in Tianhe Garden, how could you not know that the person living here is Linglong?!"

Mu Zhian frowned slightly and sighed softly, "Gentlemen, I didn't say anything about your trespassing into Tianhe Garden. It's just that I'm good-tempered because you are people sent by Lingxuan's family, but that doesn't mean I can let you bully me."

"What you just said was clearly a deliberate trap!" Zhou Cang retorted angrily.

Mu Zhian countered, "When you just asked me to step aside and said you wanted me to open the door behind me, did I try my best to stop you?"

"Didn't I tell you that she's also a member of a sect?" Mu Zhian asked again.

Zhou Cang opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute it.

Mu Zhian did indeed say that at the time... but at the time they only thought that Mu Zhian was a womanizer, and subconsciously assumed that he must have just been intimate with the owner of the room, which is why they suggested "opening the door".

Even if he had a hundred times the courage, Zhou Cang wouldn't dare to say those words out loud.

Are you suggesting I open the door now because I suspect you're being intimate with the owner of this house, and for my lady's sake?

Even a fool knows that you shouldn't say these things carelessly.

To have an intimate relationship with this silver-haired beauty, the guardian beast of the Liangyi Sect... If such words were uttered, the situation would likely spiral out of control.

"You said the people inside weren't very attractive. Wasn't that just inducing us to disturb Senior Linglong?" Zhou Cang suddenly said.

This statement directly dragged Mu Zhian into the mess.

It was Mu Zhian who first said that Linglong's current appearance wasn't very good, and then they raised their questions.

Even if they disturbed Linglong's quiet cultivation, so what if Mu Zhian spoke ill of Linglong behind his back?

To everyone's surprise, after a moment of stunned silence, Mu Zhian glanced at the silver-haired beauty beside him and said, "Senior Lin Ling looks very beautiful right now?"

After these words were spoken, the room fell completely silent.

Even if Lin Ling's current appearance is not good, no one would dare to say it directly... but Mu Zhian said it directly.

If the spirit dragon is displeased because of this...

Everyone instinctively looked at Lin Ling.

The silver-haired beauty wore a simple long robe, her silver hair flowing freely, her features exquisite, and her red eyes sparkling.

Holding a crane's leg in her hand, her feet dangled in small boots beneath her long robe, swaying gently as if no one else was around.

After finishing the crane leg, she licked her fingers, then picked up a small piece of crane meat and put it in her mouth. Afterward, her star-like eyes glanced at the large meat buns on the table, and she happily grabbed two and began to eat them with gusto, her cheeks bulging.

After swallowing with difficulty, he picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then picked up the crane meat that Mu Zhian had just roasted...

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

The style of Lin Ling's group is clearly different from theirs.

Yi Hao was the first to withdraw his gaze, looking at the two indifferently, and said, "I will personally ask the Lord of the Forbidden Zone about what happened to you two today, to see if disturbing the Spirit Dragon's peaceful cultivation was also his intention."

Zhou Cang's body stiffened slightly, and he opened his mouth a few times, but then swallowed his words back down.

If the Lord of the Forbidden Zone were to find out that they had caused such a commotion within the Two Elements Sect, they would likely face severe punishment...

Moreover, some people in the clan will probably gossip about it behind their backs.

Old Shen gave Mu Zhian a deep look and remained silent.

With several chiefs backing Mu Zhi'an and a spirit dragon residing here... it seems that his side is too superficial.

With a spirit dragon by your side, you are destined to never be mediocre in this life... The blessings she bestows can benefit a cultivator for a lifetime.

It's not surprising that these leaders would stand with Mu Zhi'an today... If the occasion weren't inappropriate, he would have supported Mu Zhi'an as well.

As for the reason... it's actually quite simple.

The spirit dragon can represent everything.

Why is it so lively here?

Just then, a clear and pleasant voice came from afar, breaking the solemn atmosphere.

Mu Zhian looked up and saw a girl in a purple dress walking gracefully towards him, smiling as she looked around. When she saw Lin Ling and then Zhou Cang and the other person inside the house, she immediately understood what was going on.

Ye Lingxuan first nodded slightly to the chief members, then her gaze fell on Elder Shen, and she asked calmly, "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Cang opened his mouth slightly and said, "Miss—"

"I will write to my father to explain this matter later," Ye Lingxuan said calmly.

After saying that, she turned to look at Mu Zhian, her eyes filled with apology, and said softly, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."

Mu Zhian simply shook his head and smiled, then cupped his hands to the heads of the group and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you all tonight. It's getting late, so I think it would be better to leave here first and not disturb Senior Lin Ling."

Upon hearing this, the others all nodded slightly, agreeing with Mu Zhian's words.

After everyone left Lin Ling's room, Mu Zhi'an glanced at Lin Ling, who was still silently munching on a meat bun, and quietly closed the door.

Yi Hao glanced at Elder Shen and the genius youth beside him and said, "Please leave, you two, and do not continue to disturb the sect disciples' cultivation."

Old Master Shen glanced at Ye Lingxuan subconsciously, his initial nonchalance gone, and hesitated before saying, "Miss..."

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly and said calmly, "I will go back on my own in six months."
