It turns out, they were the main characters.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxuan gave Mu Zhian a deep look and said softly, "I don't need Miss Bai's pity."

This girl, who had been pampered since childhood, was usually gentle, but she was still somewhat arrogant at heart. Naturally, she would resist Bai Ruoxi's "charity".

Mu Zhian didn't speak, but reached out to grab Ye Lingxuan's hand.

But the girl immediately stepped back and said softly, "Young Master Mu, please have some self-respect!"

Mu Zhian said softly, "Let's go back."

Ye Lingxuan turned her face away and said coldly, "Go back where? You go back to find your Miss Bai, who am I supposed to find?"

As she said this, she felt a strange pang of sadness.

After returning home, she rested alone in her room, while Mu Zhian was in Tianhe Garden with Miss Bai... who knows, they might even be cultivating together.

“I’ll go back with you,” Mu Zhian said.

"Young Master Mu, please return. I don't plan to go back yet," Ye Lingxuan said calmly.

"Where are you going?" Mu Zhian asked.

"...to go see the peach blossoms."

"What about tomorrow?"

Ye Lingxuan gave a low hum: "...I'm not going tomorrow."

It sounds a bit arrogant... Mu Zhian thought to himself silently.

Ye Lingxuan ignored Mu Zhian and walked gracefully towards the direction of the Holy Temple.

Her steps were not fast, but with each step she took, she felt the aura behind her gradually receding into the distance. Finally, when she realized that Mu Zhian had left on his sword, she couldn't help but lower her eyes slightly, her eyes filled with disappointment.

Girls are such conflicted creatures. When they're angry, nothing you say will work; they'll insist on kicking you out. And when they actually do it, they get even angrier...

Mu Zhian was not foolish enough to actually obey and return to Tianhe Garden. Instead, he took the lead and went to the Pilgrimage Hall. Then he took out several palm-sized stone tablets and placed them next to the peach trees nearby.

He raised his hand and made a hand seal, and the dark stone tablet quietly magnified.

After doing all this, Mu Zhian looked up at the bright moonlight and silently pondered the route Ye Lingxuan had taken.

When a girl is angry, simply trying to persuade her may not be effective, but once she calms down, doing something to make her happy... will be very helpful.

Not only is it useful, but its effect is doubled.

Night falls, and a crescent moon hangs high in the sky.

Before she knew it, Ye Lingxuan arrived at the Pilgrimage Hall.

Because it was late and visibility was extremely low, there wasn't a single person in sight at the pilgrimage temple, making the vast square seem incredibly desolate.

Ye Lingxuan found a stone bench near the square and sat down. In the darkness, she rested her chin on her hand, quietly watching the night sky, pondering the events of the evening, feeling anxious and uncertain.

Suddenly, it was as if a beam of light fell upon her eyelids. Ye Lingxuan subconsciously looked up and was shocked to find that the once pitch-black Pilgrimage Hall had been quietly enveloped in a soft pink light.

As the night breeze blows, the pink petals sway gently.

Ye Lingxuan suddenly looked up as if she had a premonition, only to see Mu Zhian walking out from the depths of the main hall and looking at her.

Looking at the peach grove bathed in pink light, Ye Lingxuan felt as if she were in a dream, and whispered, "What did you do...?"

Mu Zhian simply looked up at the night sky and sighed, "It's a pity we can't see the stars tonight, otherwise it would be even more beautiful."

He walked over and sat down next to Ye Lingxuan.

Under the pink light, Ye Lingxuan's face was as smooth and gentle as jade, and her usually pure and lovely face was made more charming by the pink light.

Her eyes were hazy as she gazed at the peach blossoms swaying in the night breeze, while Mu Zhi'an sat beside her, turning his head to look at her flawless, snow-white profile.

Girls like this, who usually have a calm demeanor, exude a captivating charm in their slightly tipsy state, which is most likely to attract men.

"Didn't you go back?" After a long silence, Ye Lingxuan suddenly asked softly.

“With you here, how could I possibly go back by myself?” Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Ye Lingxuan glanced at Mu Zhian casually, and soon her gaze involuntarily fell on the peach grove.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly said with a sigh:

"So beautiful."

Looking at Ye Lingxuan's snow-white jawline, curled eyelashes, bright and beautiful eyes, and plump cherry lips, Mu Zhian couldn't help but say from the bottom of his heart, "Yes, she's so beautiful."

However, the beauty she spoke of was the peach blossom, while Mu Zhi'an was referring to her.

Ye Lingxuan suddenly felt a warm hand placed on the back of her hand, and then quietly clenched her hand.

This time, however, she made no move to resist, letting him hold her hand as she gazed intently at the blooming peach grove and the pink light that made the peach blossoms appear exceptionally pink.

She had sworn never to speak to Mu Zhian again when she left Tianhe Garden, but now, looking at everything before her and feeling the warmth from the boy beside her, Ye Lingxuan felt as if something had gently touched the depths of her heart.

She turned her head and gazed at Mu Zhian's handsome profile with a hazy look, remaining silent for a long time.

I'm sorry... Qian'er.

Chapter 140 Classic Dual-Line Battle... I can't keep up! 5K

The Liangyi Sect, located atop Tianji Peak, had its three chief disciples standing there, watching a paper crane flap its wings and fly towards the forbidden zone.

Since the people sent by the forbidden zone have caused such a commotion, the Liangyi Sect naturally needs to have a talk with the master of the forbidden zone.

Of course, it wasn't a no-go zone for accountability; they simply gave a general explanation of how Elder Shen and the young man beside him had disturbed Linglong.

Upon seeing the contents of the letter, the elders and even the higher-ups in the restricted area naturally understood how to handle the matter.

Standing in mid-air at this moment are Yu Xuanji, the head of Tianji Peak, and Yu Ziyan, the head of Dao Peak.

Not far from Zi Yan was Yi Hao, whose expression seemed somewhat worried.

He was considering whether he should go see Mu Zhian again.

These eight-treasure cranes can't withstand the spirit dragon eating them like this...

Before the three chiefs stood Elder Shen and Zhou Cang.

The other six chief disciples naturally returned to their respective main peaks first.

After all, if so many chief disciples gathered together, uninformed disciples might think something major had happened.

Old Master Shen's face was bitter, and he seemed somewhat helpless. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the three chief ministers present and said, "I was indeed presumptuous in what happened today and caused you all a lot of trouble. I am very sorry."

"However, at first I really only came to invite my young lady back... The conflict with young friend Mu was just an accident."

"In the end, if I had known that Senior Linglong lived there, I would never have bothered him." Old Shen sighed inwardly as he said this.

The two never imagined that what was originally just a simple request to "invite" the young lady back would turn into such a big commotion.

Under normal circumstances, even if they went to a disciple's villa, there would be no problem as long as they didn't cause any disturbance.

But who would have thought that a spirit dragon actually lived in Mu Zhian's villa?

That's the guardian beast of the Liangyi Sect... Under normal circumstances, it usually lives under the cliff of the sect and rarely leaves.

Even if someone had told Elder Shen that Linglong lived in Mu Zhian's villa before this, he wouldn't have believed it.

After all, Linglong was not friendly to people by nature, and even treated these chief disciples and elders with the same indifference... yet he was living in a disciple's villa, which seemed too strange no matter how you looked at it.

However, the facts are undeniable, and there's no going back no matter how much you try to believe it.

Yu Ziyan sneered, "Even without the matter of the spirit dragon, Mu Zhian is still a disciple of my sect. Is it right for the two of you to disturb a disciple's cultivation late at night?"

Zhou Cang hesitated for a moment, then mustered his courage and said, "It is certainly not right for a junior to disturb the disciples of the sect so late at night. However, I have come to the sect this time and found that Miss seems to have someone she likes."

"If my clan finds out about this, given Miss's status, it could cause Young Master Mu a lot of trouble."

Yi Hao glanced at it and said indifferently, "Are you saying that my sect's disciples are not good enough for your young lady?"

Zhou Cang clasped his hands and bowed his head: "This junior dares not, but..."

"What do you mean 'just'? It's only natural for men and women to love each other. When it comes to dating, why are there so many rules about being a good match?" Yu Ziyan sneered. "Besides, there are plenty of people pursuing Mu Zhian."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xuanji's charming face seemed to show a hint of interest as she asked, "Does Mu Zhi'an have many female disciples pursuing him?"

She had been in seclusion on Tianji Peak for many years and was unaware of these matters, so she couldn't help but feel curious when Yu Ziyan mentioned it.

"That's about the same idea," Yu Ziyan said with a smile, no longer saying anything, clearly realizing her slip of the tongue.

With Mu Zhian's good looks and status as an inner disciple, there were naturally quite a few female disciples who secretly admired him.

After all, he is an inner disciple accepted by the Pavilion Master of the Library... Not to mention the junior sister who just entered the sect this time, after this news spreads throughout the sect in the past two days, it will probably attract the favor of many senior sisters.

Moreover, it would be fine if it was only female disciples pursuing him.

If the matter of the innate furnace becomes widely known... then it won't just be a matter for female disciples anymore.

For these female elders who have cultivated for hundreds of years, being able to advance to a higher rank is more important than anything else.

Moreover, a handsome young man like Mu Zhian is exactly the type that many female elders like.

Of course, Yu Ziyan would never say such a thing.

After all, it's better to keep the good stuff within the family.

Those were her and her junior sister's disciples; in a sense, Mu Zhian could also be considered a disciple of Daofeng.

We haven't even tasted the benefits yet, how could we let his secret be exposed to others?

No matter what, Daofeng should be given priority...

Of course, this is just a hypothesis; she hasn't yet made up her mind to take any bold actions.

The three chief disciples "invited" the two servants who had visited late at night out of the Liangyi Sect. On the way out, Zhou Cang's eyes were clearly somewhat depressed, even unwilling. He looked up at the old man and transmitted his voice, "Elder Shen, are we really going back like this?"

Elder Shen stood on his sword in mid-air, looking at the three terrestrial immortals walking on the air in front of him. He sighed softly and transmitted his voice, "Originally, according to the clan elders, if Miss wanted to come back, we would bring her back. If she didn't want to come back, she could come back in half a year."

Ultimately, their trip to pick up Ye Lingxuan wasn't based on the expectation of success.

At this point, Old Shen glanced at the young man beside him again and continued, "This time it wasn't entirely fruitless."

Although the losses are huge, and they may even face severe punishment upon returning home.

But at least it allowed Miss to see what kind of person Mu Zhian really was, so it wasn't too bad.

Not long ago, Elder Shen used a secret technique to notify Miss to come to Tianhe Garden. If nothing unexpected happens, she should already be in Tianhe Garden now.

After discovering the two girls living in that villa, with her intelligence and wit, Miss was naturally able to see through Mu Zhian's true nature as a philanderer.
