It turns out, they were the main characters.

He wasn't quite sure why, but the sect leader should be aware that there were traitors within the sect.

"The first leader of Canghai Peak wants the Qi of Heaven?" Bai Ruoxi muttered to herself thoughtfully, her fingertips tracing the rim of her teacup, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Mu Zhian noticed the worry in her eyes and smiled to comfort her, "Don't worry, Yi Hao said before that his master rarely leaves the back mountain. I only asked Senior Lin Ling to come in just in case."

"In other words, the probability of being discovered isn't high..." Bai Ruoxi glanced at him and continued, "If that's the case, why was Mu Lang in such a hurry to find Senior Linglong back then?"

“This is the Liangyi Sect, no one dares to touch you, but it’s hard to guarantee that once the Heavenly Dao Qi is exposed, it will attract some people who covet you.” Mu Zhian paused, then teased, “Besides, your very existence is worth being coveted.”

Bai Ruoxi blushed slightly, gave Mu Zhian a reproachful look, and said softly, "Be serious."

Ruoxi's coquettish gaze was no less charming than Mengrou's... Mu Zhian narrowed his eyes slightly, quite enjoying it.

"The probability of you being detected by the Heavenly Dao is not high, but what if someone informs you?" he suddenly asked.

At a glance, one might not be able to detect whether Bai Ruoxi possesses the aura of the Heavenly Dao.

But no one knows whether there are any elixirs or secret techniques that can detect the presence of the Heavenly Dao aura within Bai Ruoxi.

Mu Zhian asked Linglong to prepare a backup plan, just in case.

"Who would inform on us?" Bai Ruoxi asked, puzzled.

Mu Zhian reached out and picked up a lock of Bai Ruoxi's hair, glanced up and down, and finally looked back at the girl's cool face. He smiled faintly and said, "Whoever loses the aura of the Heavenly Dao, that's naturally who it is."

“…Ye Yu?” Upon hearing this name, Bai Ruoxi’s eyes showed a hint of disgust, clearly indicating her extreme dislike for Ye Yu’s previous actions.

“He shouldn’t know that the Heavenly Dao Qi is on me… otherwise he would have told on me before,” Bai Ruoxi said.

"Your cultivation speed is too fast, Ruoxi."

Looking at Bai Ruoxi's aloof and delicate demeanor, Mu Zhian said, "After last night, your cauldron received another replenishment of spiritual energy, and it may advance to a higher grade in the next few days."

"Once or twice is fine, but if he frequently advances in rank, others may not think anything of it, but Ye Yu, who was the first to possess the Qi of Heaven, might not be able to help him figure it out."

After all, Ye Yu back then relied on the power of the Heavenly Dao to achieve such a monstrous cultivation speed.

However, after losing the Heavenly Dao Qi, Ye Yu must have obtained other opportunities, and his cultivation speed doesn't seem to have dropped much... Tch, that wicked face-jumping seal.

The setting sun outside had already gradually sunk, and Mu Zhian lit the candles on the table.

The flickering candlelight illuminated Bai Ruoxi's delicate oval face, giving her a warm, jade-like glow.

“My cultivation speed is not solely due to the Qi of Heaven,” Bai Ruoxi said, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

Her cultivation speed is so fast because of three factors: the Qi of Heaven, her own talent, and Mu Zhian's hard work every night.

“Ye Yu is so annoying,” she suddenly continued.

Every time, so much trouble comes because of Ye Yu. He caused me trouble several times back in Tianxuan City.

Mu Zhian reached out to hold Bai Ruoxi's small hand. She did not resist, but lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about what Mu Zhian had just said.

"Actually, there's no need to worry. With the talisman carved by Sister Lin Ling, even if someone really wants to push you into the limelight, they won't be able to do it. No pills or secret techniques can see through the talisman's concealment effect," Mu Zhi'an reassured him.

"Just focus on your cultivation. When you reach the Void Return Realm in the future, the world is so vast, we can go wherever we want, just like Mundo."

Bai Ruoxi slightly raised her eyes and asked, puzzled, "What is Mundo...?"

"It's alright, don't worry about it." Mu Zhian smiled.

"Mu Lang is so good to me," Bai Ruoxi said softly. Under Mu Zhi'an's comfort, her originally anxious and unhappy mood gradually improved.

When Mu Zhian was pursuing her before, she was so annoyed by him that she wished he would stop bothering her.

But ever since she got together with Mu Zhian, she has wanted Mu Zhian to be by her side all the time.

Women are such strange creatures.

"By the way, you gave me all the pills. What if Lingxuan is unhappy if she finds out I'm using the pills you gave me? What if she gets angry?" Bai Ruoxi suddenly asked worriedly.

"No, after all, I gave her the same pill..." Mu Zhi'an shook his head and smiled, "It's alright."

“Lingxuan is still young, and she’s only at the low-level Qi Refining stage. How about… I send her some pills? Since she’s your sister, I’ll naturally treat her as my sister too.” Bai Ruoxi’s clear eyes shone brightly as she looked at Mu Zhian.

"These pills are very expensive, are you sure?" Mu Zhian politely declined.

"It doesn't matter if it's expensive or not, the main thing is that I feel sorry for Lingxuan and want to do something for her." Bai Ruoxi said sincerely, her deep features appearing quite three-dimensional, like a mixed-race beauty, under the candlelight.

Are you sure you weren't trying to provoke her by running to her doorstep to deliver the pills...? Mu Zhian squeezed Bai Ruoxi's palm and smiled: "I'll just send her some more of the pills I got from Pavilion Master Yan in a couple of days. As for these pills, you can keep them for yourself."

"Pavilion Master Yan?" Bai Ruoxi's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

Will that Pavilion Master Yan give you some pills?

"Yes, I will," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

"After all, I am her inner disciple."

If the Dao Peak Chief has already given it away, how could Yan Ruyu remain silent if this gets to her ears?

"But why did the head of Daofeng give you pills?" Bai Ruoxi suddenly asked curiously.

"Perhaps it's because I sent them some rare geniuses?"

Mu Zhian took a sip of tea, skipped the dangerous topic, and said softly, "You smell so good today, Ruoxi."

He gazed at Bai Ruoxi and asked, "Was this prepared especially for me?"

Bai Ruoxi glared at him, her pretty face slightly flushed, her voice clear yet tinged with shyness: "Stop teasing me."

Noticing the meaningful look in Mu Zhian's eyes, Bai Ruoxi continued, "Besides, who does this every night...isn't that okay?"

She worried that if Mu Zhian continued like this, he would eventually run out of energy for cultivation.

Mu Zhian shook his head and laughed, "No problem, you underestimate my energy, Ruoxi."

Besides, he also has aphrodisiac pills sent by the second elder of the central peak of Dao Peak... oops, they should be called essence-restoring pills.

Ever since Bai Ruoxi came out looking refreshed, Mu Zhian had already been somewhat tempted. Now, seeing her aloof and cool demeanor, he naturally wanted to see another side of her.

Seeing the aloof girl shyly in his arms was enough to make his heart flutter... Mu Zhian sat down next to Bai Ruoxi, close to her.

He reached out and embraced her slender waist, gazing at the beautiful woman in his arms, and slowly brought his lips close to hers.

"Wait a minute, let's go back to the room..." Bai Ruoxi gently pushed Mu Zhian with her small hand, but it seemed a little weak.

“No problem, there are no outsiders here.” Mu Zhian gazed at her tenderly.

"But this is a side room... um."

Bai Ruoxi seemed to want to say something more, but as her lips were sealed by the boy's, her body slowly softened.

……

The next morning.

Library.

Yan Ruyu, who was at the peak of her female beauty, sat in the side hall, silently reading the intelligence sent by the secret agent.

She exudes an intellectual air and possesses a mature feminine charm that is quite alluring.

At this moment, the library master looked at the letter in his hand, his eyes flickering slightly. After a long while, he threw the information into the bucket next to him, and the letter turned to ashes in an instant.

"My senior sister actually gave Mu Zhian pills...?" Yan Ruyu murmured to herself.

Moreover, they even sent a full thirty Rank 5 pills at once?

That's a fifth-grade pill, not something worthless. Even the head of the Dao Peak wouldn't be so generous as to give away something like that.

It's impossible to send that many.

Mu Zhian is a member of her library, and Yu Ziyan can also help her library train disciples?

"Unsolicited kindness...something's fishy." She tapped the edge of the chair lightly with her slender fingers, and after a long pause, glanced at the spy beside her and said:

"Go to Tianhe Garden and ask Mu Zhian to come over."

……

Having cultivated all night, Mu Zhian, who had taken the Rejuvenating Pill in the morning, was leisurely sitting in the side hall drinking morning tea, while Bai Ruoxi had gone to the bathhouse early to soak in the bath.

A moment later, a maid in a yellow dress came into view.

"Good morning, Sister Mengrou." Mu Zhian looked up at Wei Mengrou and greeted her.

"How was the effect of yesterday's Qi-gathering Pill?"

Wei Mengrou glanced coldly at Mu Zhian, too lazy to pay him any attention: "There are disciples outside requesting an audience, saying that Pavilion Master Yan wants you to go to the library."

"Finally here?" Mu Zhian smiled, put down his teacup, and stood up to stretch.

Then, he straightened his robes, looked at Wei Mengrou beside him, and said, "Sister Mengrou, please tell Ruoxi about this."

Wei Mengrou nodded slightly. After watching her young master leave the side hall, she glanced at the spot where Mu Zhian had just been sitting. It seemed that she was recalling some beautiful scenery that she had accidentally seen last night. A beautiful blush swept across her cold and beautiful face.

About fifteen minutes later, Bai Ruoxi, dressed in a white dress and looking exquisitely elegant, walked out from the back of the side hall in white embroidered shoes.

When she saw Wei Mengrou, she said softly, "Good morning, Sister Mengrou."

Seemingly noticing Bai Ruoxi's puzzled glances at the side hall, as if she were looking for someone, Wei Mengrou explained, "He was just called away by Pavilion Master Yan."

“I see…” Bai Ruoxi’s eyes flickered slightly, and she muttered to herself, “That’s perfect then.”

After she finished speaking, she walked gracefully out of the side hall.

"Where are you going?" Wei Mengrou called out to Bai Ruoxi.

Bai Ruoxi paused slightly and said softly, "Sister Lingxuan must be lonely at home alone. I happen to have some pills that Mulang brought yesterday, and I'd like to send some over to her."

Wei Mengrou was stunned for a moment.

"Does Sister Mengrou have anything else to say?" Bai Ruoxi gazed at the maid with her bright, peach-blossom eyes.

Wei Mengrou snapped out of her reverie, glanced at the innocent and harmless Miss Bai with a slight smile, and said:

"It's alright, you can go ahead."

Chapter 145 A Large-Scale Double Standard Scene (4.5K)

Bai Ruoxi left Tianhe Garden and was heading to Ya Garden, where Ye Lingxuan lived.

Outside the Glazed Tile Palace is a rather spacious square, with a lake in the center. A circular path forms around the lake, and a pavilion can be seen after walking a few steps around it.

When Bai Ruoxi left the cave, she saw many cultivators strolling by the lake, many of whom were Daoist couples or fellow Daoists.
