It turns out, they were the main characters.

Furthermore, although the Meridian-Opening Pill is valuable, if it can protect the Bai family, why did Bai Yuanfeng refuse to agree and instead insist on selling her daughter?

Is this beautiful woman really stupid?

I'm afraid not.

The man in black robes looked at Mu Zhi'an, who seemed to be deep in thought, and sneered: "Young Master Mu, you're a smart man, you should know what to do, right?"

Mu Zhian snapped out of his daze and nodded: "Hehe, thanks for the information this time."

Heh heh...? The man in black robes was taken aback.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it, I just suddenly wanted to try it out," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

I thought all villains would laugh like that, but it seems I was overthinking it.

The man in black robes was bewildered. He glanced at Mu Zhian coldly and turned to leave.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, staring intently at the paper crane on the table, a hint of surprise in his eyes for the first time.

But he quickly concealed the surprise in his eyes, turned around, transformed into black mist, and disappeared into the study.

After a while, Wei Mengrou emerged from the shadows, no longer concealing her presence.

She glanced out the window and said softly, "That person reacted to the paper crane just now, so he probably knows the origin of the paper crane."

Mu Zhian was clearly taken aback.

Judging from this, the man in black robes is very likely related to the family of the paper crane owner.

Two days ago, he sent people to investigate the identity of the man in black robes, but it was obvious that as a mysterious force that had come from the outside, it would be difficult to find out the other party's true identity.

But now there are new clues, so perhaps we can give it a try... With this in mind, Mu Zhian said, "In that case, tomorrow we will send someone to follow the paper crane to see where it came from."

These past few days he's been chatting with the paper crane owner every day, it feels like chatting with someone online in the past... He's just preparing himself mentally to see what that online friend looks like.

After planning everything, Mu Zhian looked up at Wei Mengrou again and said:

"Sister Mengrou, I'm not going to cultivate today. I'm planning to go out."

Wei Mengrou said calmly, "You don't need to tell me specifically. In the end, I wouldn't be surprised if you suddenly gave up cultivation one day."

That's what they say, but Mu Zhian clearly couldn't see any disgust or disappointment in Wei Mengrou's eyes.

Clearly, the maid was quite satisfied that he had managed to hold on these past few days.

Mu Zhian was also very satisfied.

He persisted in his cultivation, partly to gain better strength to protect himself, and partly to increase Wei Mengrou's favorability.

Although the method is rather common, the results are outstanding.

Just like how many people feel incredibly awkward when they see some cheesy sentences online, many girls in love like to hear such sweet words.

After having the carriage prepared, Mu Zhian leaned against it and slowly drove along the street towards the Bai family's residence.

Before long, Mu Zhian drew back the curtain and saw a mansion not far ahead.

Bai Mansion!

He alighted from the carriage and saw two servants at the gate. When they saw Mu Zhi'an, they exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised, and asked, "Young Master Mu, what brings you to the Bai residence?"

In Tianxuan City, almost everyone except children knows Mu Zhian, and the two attendants naturally know him as well.

"I need to talk to Ruoxi. Is she inside?" Mu Zhian asked.

A servant nodded slightly, but seemed somewhat hesitant to speak, saying, "Yes, yes... but Miss may not have time to entertain you right now..."

Mu Zhian raised an eyebrow, about to ask for the reason.

At this moment, he vaguely heard the sounds of a man and a woman arguing inside the mansion. Then, he heard Ye Yu's voice from inside: "Miss Bai, since you insist on breaking off the engagement, then I have nothing more to say."

"However, although I am poor, I am a man of principle. Today, I will divorce you, my fiancée!"

Hearing the sounds coming from the courtyard, Mu Zhian was clearly taken aback.

It took me a while to come to my senses.

It looks like I've encountered a scenario where the engagement is called off...?

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian stepped into the mansion to take a look, but at this moment, the guards on both sides immediately blocked his way and said, "Sorry, Young Master Mu, the Madam has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."

Mu Zhian took out two pieces of silver from his pocket, stuffed them into the hands of the two men, and said with a smile:

"How about I do you a favor and be kicked out if I come in? I have nothing to say."

Both men looked somewhat troubled, saying, "Young Master Mu, please don't make things difficult for us. If something happens later, we can't bear the responsibility—"

Mu Zhian then took out four more pieces of silver and stuffed them into the hands of the two men.

"Young Master Mu, please feel free to ask us for anything in the future, and we brothers will do our best to help!"

Mu Zhian smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, then pushed open the gate of the mansion and went inside.

The people in front of the courtyard were indeed Ye Yu, and Bai Ruoxi standing opposite him.

At this moment, Ye Yu was clearly angry, but he clenched his fists, seemingly suppressing his anger.

With her ample bosom, slender waist, and stunning beauty, Bai Ruoxi stared expressionlessly at Ye Yu. Her long white dress accentuated her alluring and sexy figure. She remained silent, simply handing Ye Yu the "letter of divorce."

"Young Master Ye, Ruoxi has no intention of antagonizing you, but she does indeed dislike this marriage," Bai Ruoxi said softly.

Ye Yu clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with anger, but he forced himself to suppress it and said, "Miss Bai, fortunes change, so don't underestimate a young man's potential!"

"The humiliation of today will surely be repaid in the future!"

He always believed that Bai Ruoxi wanted to break off the engagement because she had her eye on Mu Zhian, a wealthy and eligible bachelor.

But he will definitely make Bai Ruoxi regret breaking off the engagement today.

With his current talent, he will surely surpass the Mu family in the future.

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Just then, a loud round of applause suddenly rang out from the entrance of the mansion.

"What a wise saying, 'Don't underestimate a young man's potential!' Young Master Ye is indeed very confident in his talent."

Ye Yu turned his head and saw Mu Zhian standing in front of the gate clapping his hands, his tone sounding like genuine admiration.

“Mu Zhian”.

Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Mu Zhi'an as he slowly walked towards them.

Chapter 21: They Are the Main Characters (Key Points)

Ye Yu frowned slightly as he watched the handsome young man walking towards him.

Bai Ruoxi also frowned slightly.

It's not that we don't welcome Mu Zhian, it's just that we don't want him to come at this critical juncture.

"Young Master Mu must have heard everything outside. Do you have any unique insights into this matter?" Ye Yu's dark eyes were exceptionally deep as he stared at Mu Zhi'an.

He has calmed down from his anger.

He was initially delighted when Bai Ruoxi invited him to her residence today, but after only a few words, she gave him a letter announcing the annulment of the engagement.

This made Ye Yu feel extremely humiliated.

He had treated her so well in the past, but she invited him to her home just to humiliate him?

Bai Ruoxi had never mentioned the "annulment of the engagement" before, and her attitude towards him had never been so cold. However, since she had contact with Mu Zhian, Bai Ruoxi's attitude had become much colder.

The reason Bai Ruoxi wanted to "break off the engagement" was probably because she had her eye on Mu Zhian.

He now wanted to see what reason Mu Zhian could have to defend Bai Ruoxi after she gave him the "letter of annulment".

"I don't have any brilliant insights, but I do understand Miss Bai quite well," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Ye Yu frowned, staring at Mu Zhian without saying a word.

“By the way, I want to make one point before we go on,” Mu Zhian said, “you and Miss Bai are not married, so you can’t give her a letter of divorce. At most, you can only agree to Miss Bai’s annulment of the engagement.”

Ye Yu frowned slightly.

"You came here just to dwell on these trivial matters, Young Master Mu?"

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled, "Young Master Ye, I would like to ask you, Miss Bai invited you to her residence today to tell you that she wanted to annul the engagement, which is an insult to you, is that what you think?"

Ye Yu stared at Mu Zhian's gentle smile without saying a word.

He was a little confused about what Mu Zhian was trying to say.

"If she went to the Ye family and gave you a letter announcing the engagement, wouldn't you also feel humiliated?" Mu Zhian continued to ask.

Ye Yu was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course."

"If that's the case, then what would be considered not humiliating you?" Mu Zhian countered.

So, it's wrong to annul an engagement, and you can't annul an engagement anymore?

Ye Yu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he was somewhat caught up in Mu Zhi'an's words and could only remain silent.

After a moment, he asked again, "So, Young Master Mu thinks that breaking off the engagement is the right thing to do?"

“It’s obviously wrong to annul the engagement.” Mu Zhian slowly walked to Bai Ruoxi’s side, looking at the girl’s somewhat complicated expression, and continued:

"However, Miss Bai never agreed to this marriage from beginning to end. This betrothal was arranged for her by her elders since birth. Now she wants to pursue her own happiness, is that not allowed?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yu fell silent.

He felt that Mu Zhian's argument was fallacious, but he had no reason to refute it.

The betrothal was arranged by the elders of the clan, and the wishes of both the man and woman were never consulted from beginning to end.

Now that the woman has grown up, she has clearly stated that she does not like the marriage and wants to call it off... Is this wrong?

If we were to put ourselves in Ye Yu's shoes at this moment, many people might think this action was excessive.

But from the woman's perspective, she was simply rejecting a marriage she had never liked, so what was wrong with that?

Mu Zhian continued, "Did Miss Bai explicitly state that she doesn't like you?"

Ye Yu's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Bai Ruoxi.

The elegant girl in the white dress raised her eyes slightly and said coldly, "I have never liked Young Master Ye from beginning to end."
