It turns out, they were the main characters.

Facing the gazes of the group, Mu Zhian answered frankly and sincerely, "The Heavenly Dao Qi that Ye Yu spoke of is indeed here with me."

Yan Ruyu: "?"

How am I supposed to speak up for you when you suddenly say something like that?

Under Yan Ruyu's surprised gaze, Mu Zhian began to slowly recount what had happened that day in Tianxuan City:

“That day, I sparred with Ye Yu outside Tianxuan City. Later, the Heavenly Dao Qi left Ye Yu on its own. Shortly after that, I sensed that the Heavenly Dao Qi had entered my cauldron.”

“Master Yan’s previous guess was correct. The person who emitted that special spiritual energy at that time was this junior.”

"I obtained some opportunities in Senior Linglong's cave, which allowed the Qi of Heaven to combine with my cauldron, and the spiritual energy also underwent some changes."

"It's just that my cultivation level hasn't reached the Refinement of Spirit stage yet, so I can't maintain that special spiritual energy indefinitely."

"..."

Yan Ruyu was slightly taken aback, having only heard the first sentence Mu Zhian had said.

A hint of surprise flickered in her beautiful eyes.

"Is the Qi of Heaven in your cauldron?"

The meaning of these words might be confusing to the disciples of these sects, but the several chief disciples who knew the secret of Mu Zhi'an's innate furnace clearly understood what it meant.

In the future, when Mu Zhian enters the Refining Spirit Realm, the special spiritual energy he bestows upon others will have a stronger amplifying effect!

Seeing Mu Zhian nod helplessly, Yan Ruyu's eyes showed a hint of relief, and she nodded slightly, saying, "Since the Heavenly Dao has acknowledged you, then make good use of it in the future and do something meaningful."

"I understand," Mu Zhian replied sincerely.

"wrong……"

At this moment, Ye Yu stared intently into Mu Zhi'an's eyes and suddenly said in a cold voice, "You're just covering for Miss Bai!"

"If the Qi of Heaven is in your body, how do you explain Miss Bai's monstrous cultivation speed?"

At that moment, he suddenly realized that he had almost been tricked by Mu Zhian again.

His target this time should have been Bai Ruoxi!

As a result, in order to protect her, Mu Zhi'an himself jumped out and admitted that he possessed the Qi of Heavenly Dao... If a high-ranking demon cultivator in this sect were to secretly examine Mu Zhi'an's body and find that he could not detect the Qi of Heavenly Dao, the matter would be dropped.

The more proactively Mu Zhian admits it, the higher the possibility that the Heavenly Dao Qi is on Bai Ruoxi!

Mu Zhian sighed softly and said, "Young Master Ye, the Heavenly Dao Qi that you lost that day is indeed with me."

"As for why Ruoxi's cultivation speed is so fast, it involves some of my secrets, which I don't want too many people to know. Young Master Ye, please don't make things difficult for me."

After speaking, she glanced subtly at the three chiefs beside her and indeed saw that their delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

The chiefs naturally didn't want too many people to know about the secrets of the natural furnaces and furnaces.

Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, clearly disbelieving: "The path of cultivation can only rely on the individual. Do you think you can speed up Miss Bai's cultivation?"

"Don't you know what the effects of your Heavenly Dao Qi are?" Mu Zhian retorted.

The Heavenly Dao Qi currently on Bai Ruoxi's body can accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy and the purification of spiritual energy will also increase several times. It also has the same effect on those cultivating around her.

Ye Yu was naturally aware of this as well.

However, he remained skeptical, staring intently at Mu Zhian and saying, "The Qi of Heaven can indeed accelerate the cultivation speed of those around us, but it's impossible for it to be this fast."

How long has it been since Bai Ruoxi joined the sect? She has already advanced from the first rank of Refining Spirit to the third rank. This doesn't make sense without the Qi of Heaven.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian looked embarrassed.

Ye Yu watched this scene, smiled inwardly, and was about to continue speaking.

"enough!"

At this moment, the cold voice of the Dao Peak leader suddenly rang out, interrupting the standoff between the two.

Ye Yu subconsciously looked up at the extremely beautiful Daoist leader. Her expression was cold, and her full red lips parted slightly as she said indifferently, "I know that the relationship between the two of you is not good, but private fights are not allowed in the sect. If you have any grudges, you can compete against each other at the Ascension Conference six months from now."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "As for Bai Ruoxi's cultivation speed... whether she possesses the Qi of Heaven or not has nothing to do with anyone else."

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly and said coldly, "That's right. Regardless of whether Bai Ruoxi has the aura of the Heavenly Dao, this matter should not be mentioned in public. Do not mention it again in the future."

The number of people who know about the innate furnace cannot be increased any further.

Although Ying Guhuan did not speak, he nodded slightly in agreement.

Since all three chiefs had said so, no matter how unwilling Ye Yu was, he could only clasp his hands and bow his head in agreement.

Anyway, he has already achieved his goal.

Although it couldn't be proven that Bai Ruoxi possessed the aura of the Heavenly Dao, there are many suspicious points surrounding her now. With such a cultivation speed, it wouldn't make sense to say that she didn't possess the aura of the Heavenly Dao.

If this news were to reach the ears of a certain "demon cultivator" within the sect, he didn't believe the other party would remain completely silent.

Mu Zhian is about to face enormous trouble.

During this time, all I need to do is focus on my cultivation and wait for the "opportunity" that my teacher mentioned!

Thinking of this, Ye Yu cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and then left the Pilgrimage Hall.

Mu Zhian bid farewell to the three chief disciples and, under the watchful eyes of the surrounding disciples, left the Pilgrimage Hall with Bai Ruoxi and the others.

Although most of the sect disciples hadn't heard the conversation, Ye Yu's pointing voice still reached their ears.

And this is exactly the effect Ye Yu wanted.

Ying Guhuan stood in mid-air above the pilgrimage hall, her loose-fitting plain robe billowing in the strong wind, revealing her exquisitely beautiful figure.

She gazed at Mu Zhian's departing figure, her fingertips twirling a strand of hair that fell over her shoulder, a charming smile curving her lips.

As it turned out, Ye Yu's guess was correct.

The demon cultivators among the high-ranking members of the Liangyi Sect are not fools.

Mu Zhian possesses the aura of the Heavenly Dao, as does Bai Ruoxi; the two do not conflict.

After all, Bai Ruoxi's cultivation speed was indeed a bit too fast.

This cannot be explained simply by Mu Zhian's "natural furnace".

If the Heavenly Dao Qi in Ye Yu's body is really in Bai Ruoxi's body, what should be done...?

When Ying Guhuan thought of this, she immediately had an answer in her mind: In short, Bai Ruoxi and Mu Zhian have such an intimate relationship that she cannot act rashly.

After all... Mu Zhian's current value far exceeds the Heavenly Dao Qi within Bai Ruoxi's body.

Ying Guhuan's eyes flickered slightly as he fell into deep thought.

……

After escorting Bai Ruoxi back to her room to rest, Mu Zhian was about to leave the room.

At this moment, Bai Ruoxi looked up slightly at Mu Zhian and said softly, "Mu Lang, have I caused you trouble again?"

Her gaze as she looked up at Mu Zhian was filled with apology. Her already frail appearance was made even more pitiful by her weakness after this tribulation.

Mu Zhian walked to the bedside and smiled, "This matter will be exposed sooner or later, so it doesn't matter."

Seemingly noticing the worry in Bai Ruoxi's eyes, Mu Zhian continued, "The faster you cultivate, the more people will suspect that you possess the aura of the Heavenly Dao."

"However, this is the Liangyi Sect, so no matter what, no one will try to harm you."

“But aren’t there demon cultivators within this sect? What if they secretly do something?” Bai Ruoxi was still somewhat worried.

Mu Zhian just admitted that the Heavenly Dao Qi was on him. If that demon cultivator were to secretly attack Mu Zhian... what would happen then?

Bai Ruoxi only regretted that her strength was insufficient. If she were at the Void Returning Realm now, she could easily solve most of her troubles.

Mu Zhian gently patted her head and ran his fingers through Bai Ruoxi's soft hair.

Today she was wearing a pure white dress embroidered with snow lotuses, her chest proudly pushing up the fabric, her lips slightly pale, clearly a lingering effect of the recent lightning tribulation.

At this moment, she raised her moist peach blossom eyes and gazed at Mu Zhian, her eyes filled with deep worry.

Mu Zhian gave a bright smile and said, "What you need to do now is to recover from your injuries and then cultivate."

"Leave everything else to me."

He himself cannot cultivate quickly, but he can make the cultivation speed of those around him faster.

Perhaps the saying "the heavens are jealous of talent" refers to his extraordinary support abilities.

With Mu Zhian's comforting words, Bai Ruoxi's initial unease subsided somewhat. She looked up at Mu Zhian's gentle gaze, then lowered her eyes shyly and softly murmured "Mmm."

Mu Lang is right. What they need to do now is to heal their injuries and then focus on becoming stronger... climbing higher step by step, so that if anyone disturbs them in the future, they will have enough strength to drive them away.

Whether it's an enemy or a vixen from outside.

Bai Ruoxi's gaze gradually softened, and she reached out to embrace Mu Zhian's head, gently pressing it so that his face could be buried in her arms.

As she felt Mu Zhi'an's breath falling into her arms, she closed her eyes, savoring the beauty of Mu Zhi'an's presence beside her.

Doesn't Ruoxi know that this is suffocating...? Mu Zhian couldn't help but glance at Bai Ruoxi. Seeing that her eyes were slightly closed and her face showed a happy expression, he ultimately couldn't bear to break this harmonious and peaceful atmosphere.

Although breathing is a little difficult, it's nothing for Ruoxi, I can just bear it!

……

In front of the courtyard, Ye Qian and Ye Lingxuan walked into the Glazed Palace together and returned to their villa.

Ye Qian was wearing a traditional Chinese-style skirt with a ribbon tied around her waist, which accentuated her slender waist and well-proportioned breasts. Her face was filled with worry as she asked, "Sister, why does Brother Ye Yu always target Brother Mu?"

Ye Lingxuan walked quietly beside her sister and said softly, "I'm not sure."

She wasn't really sure where the hatred between the two came from, but when she had someone investigate Mu Zhian, the information she obtained showed that the reason why Mu Zhian and Ye Yu had such a bad relationship was because Ye Yu caused trouble at the Mu residence one night.

After that, Mu Zhian and Bai Ruoxi's relationship gradually warmed up.

Perhaps that was the original reason.

As for now... if Ye Yu's Heavenly Dao Qi really is with Mu Zhi'an, then it's no wonder Ye Yu hates Mu Zhi'an so much.

"If Brother Ye Yu and Brother Mu have a conflict in the future, who will you side with, Sister?" Ye Qian suddenly asked.

Ye Lingxuan's thoughts paused slightly, then she turned her head to look at her younger sister beside her, who had gradually slowed her pace and was staring intently at her. After a moment of silence, she smiled and said, "Whoever Qian'er helps, I will help."

"Who will Qian'er help?" she asked rhetorically, a hint of teasing in her eyes.

Ye Qian's pretty face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head slightly, saying softly, "My sister just likes to tease me."

If Ye Qian hadn't known Mu Zhi'an before, she would have helped Ye Yu out of consideration for their shared family background.
