It turns out, they were the main characters.

Since none of us can actually pursue Senior Sister Lan, at least we can still have a thought about it.

However, when they saw Lan Mulian go to Tianhe Garden today, many male disciples' moods immediately sank to the bottom.

They had been holding onto a tiny glimmer of hope, but Lan Mulian's visit today shattered many hearts.

In Tianhe Garden, there's only one member of the opposite sex, Mu Zhian. If it were a female disciple that Senior Sister Lan went to find, that would be fine, but if Senior Sister Lan went to find Mu Zhian... just thinking about it makes me so angry.

He already has a beautiful woman named Bai Ruoxi by his side, a sexy maid with a great figure, and two younger sisters... He's still not satisfied with that, and he even extends his evil claws to his senior sister.

No matter how friendly Mu Zhian usually acts, it's hard to avoid making people jealous.

"They're out!"

At this moment, one of the disciples who was waiting for Lan Mulian to leave by the lake in front of the square suddenly spoke up.

These disciples appeared to be chatting idly by the lake, but in reality, they had all left their respective grottoes specifically because of what had happened today, wanting to see what exactly had occurred in Tianhe Garden.

When they saw Mu Zhi'an leaving Tianhe Garden side by side with this beautiful woman in a gorgeous white dress, many disciples' eyes widened, and their hearts felt as sour as if they had eaten lemons.

Ye Yu stared intently at the scene, somewhat incredulous.

Although he had vaguely guessed the relationship between Mu Zhian and Lan Mulian before, Ye Yu still found it hard to accept when he actually saw them walking side by side.

He always thought that a woman as intelligent as Lan Mulian would leave him if she knew that Mu Zhi'an was having an affair with other beauties.

During this period, Lan Mulian did indeed do just that... at least he never saw Lan Mulian have any intimate contact with Mu Zhian after entering the sect.

But today they are walking side by side!

and……

Three people came today, two of whom were the heads of the household...

Ye Yu originally thought that the person who came to find Mu Zhian today was likely a demon cultivator.

But now... who exactly is the demon cultivator?

I still don't understand it.

As Ye Yu gazed at Lan Mulian's beautiful back and at Mu Zhian's occasional "accidental" touches on his senior sister's hand, his jealousy seemed to be twisting him, so much so that he was completely unaware that the female cultivator beside him was looking at him with displeasure.

Although she couldn't compare to Senior Sister Lan's beauty, Ye Yu hadn't looked at Lan Mulian since she walked into the square, which was a huge turn-off for a woman.

On the other side, after seeing Lan Mulian off from the Liuli Palace, Mu Zhian gazed at her slender figure and suddenly said, "Senior Sister, remember to write back to me after you get back."

Lan Mulian's expression remained calm; she simply nodded slightly and hummed in agreement, as a gentle breeze ruffled her skirt.

She gently raised her delicate hand, picked up a cloud, and left the Crystal Palace.

Mu Zhian looked up at Lan Mulian's back until she disappeared from sight before turning back to the Liuli Palace. In front of the square, he noticed many disciples casting glances at him intentionally or unintentionally. When he noticed the strange look in their eyes, he didn't care and simply cupped his hands in greeting.

He then ignored Ye Yu and went straight back to the villa.

Back in Tianxuan City, Mu Zhian was already fairly certain that Ye Yu was just a "nouveau riche" favored by the heavens, and not really a protagonist.

Therefore, Mu Zhian is now too lazy to pay attention to Ye Yu anymore, and is focusing more on cultivating the fish in his own pond.

After all, the fish are the main characters!

I don't know why the pink heart-shaped box on the interface still hasn't shown any text.

However, the words in the heart-shaped box should appear once the fish have been properly raised.

There's no rush now.

Back in his room, Mu Zhian took out a second-grade array from his storage ring and began his daily study.

Although it may be a bit tedious and boring, it would be a waste to ignore such a formation.

Time slips away silently.

In the blink of an eye, more than four months have passed.

During this period, Mu Zhian has been managing his time in an orderly manner.

As night fell, it was time for the tedious and boring cultivation with Miss Bai.

In the afternoon, he took some time to visit Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian to cultivate their relationship.

Then, in the evening, I communicated with the sect leader and Senior Sister Lan via paper cranes.

It can be said that the timing was perfectly arranged, determined not to let any fish escape.

In just over four months, Mu Zhian's strength had also increased to the peak of Qi Refining!

He was only one step away from reaching the Refining Spirit Realm.

That afternoon, as Mu Zhian was teasing Ye Lingxuan in her room, causing her pretty face to flush red, he suddenly felt a slight vibration coming from outside.

Ye Lingxuan slowly raised her head, her eyes still misty with tears, and whispered, "What happened...?"

The ground trembled slightly again.

"Let's go out and take a look," Mu Zhian said immediately.

He left the room, and as he pushed open the door, he saw a slender figure hurrying away down the corridor. Her skirt fluttered gently in the wind, revealing a glimpse of her snow-white calves.

Why is Qian'er at Lingxuan's door...? Wasn't she just meditating inside?

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, but soon his gaze fell on the direction of the Pilgrimage Temple.

He suddenly seemed to sense something, opened his personal interface, and saw several titles on it.

Meanwhile, the four large characters "Friends of the Villain" shone with an unprecedented dark light.

The effect of the villain's friend is activated at this moment.

Chapter 158 Ye Qian's Special Hobby

"The villain's friend just had to light up at this crucial moment... This is definitely not a good thing."

Looking at the dark light shining on the interface and the eerie words "Friend of the Villain," Mu Zhian felt a little heavy-hearted.

He clearly heard the sounds coming from the Pilgrimage Hall during the sect's opening ceremony that day.

A slight tremor occurred near the pilgrimage temple, and then the light of "Friend of the Villain" lit up on his personal interface.

Could this be interpreted as the creature sealed within the pilgrimage temple being a "villain"?

And he's the main villain.

The titles on Mu Zhian's interface aren't just for show; they actually have real effects.

The fact that the black-robed man approached him in Tianxuan City in the past, and even later when the Demon Queen approached him, is likely because this title played a role in some mysterious way.

Mu Zhian had only seen this eerie light once before—the time he encountered the beautiful snake, the Devouring Python.

Is the being sealed within the altar of the pilgrimage temple something on par with the Demon Queen?!

When Mu Zhian came to this conclusion, he couldn't help but feel a slight tightness in his heart.

If that's the case, then it's no wonder the sect leader told him not to ask so many questions.

Even if you ask, it won't make a difference.

This matter should be left to the sect leader to handle; it's not something I can resolve... After much thought, Mu Zhi'an immediately came to this conclusion.

At that moment, Mu Zhian suddenly felt someone walking slowly behind him.

Turning his head, he saw Ye Qian, who had just left in a hurry, standing beside Mu Zhian as if nothing had happened.

She looked up at Mu Zhi'an and said in a clear, pleasant voice, "Brother Mu, when did you arrive?"

As she spoke, a look of curiosity appeared in her eyes, as if she were genuinely puzzled by Mu Zhian's arrival.

A hint of doubt flashed across Mu Zhian's eyes.

I must have seen correctly... The person who hurriedly left Lingxuan's room just now must have been Qian'er, right?

How could she not know I was here...?

Could it be that Qian'er just happened to be passing by here?

Just as Mu Zhian thought of this, he secretly glanced at Ye Qian again and noticed that the girl's eyes flickered slightly. When Mu Zhian looked over, her clear, doe-like eyes flashed with panic, and she lowered her head slightly.

However, you can't see the toes, only two rather large breasts.

Something's a bit suspicious... Mu Zhian secretly observed the beautiful figure of this girl who combined innocence and charm, and couldn't help but think to himself.

At this moment, Ye Lingxuan, who was standing to the side, gently tugged at Mu Zhian's sleeve and whispered, "Don't bully Qian'er like this."

Mu Zhian snapped out of his daze and glanced at the pretty young woman beside him, dressed in a purple dress that exuded a classic and elegant charm.

He mustered his courage, reached around Ye Lingxuan's waist from behind, gently poked her waist, and then held her slightly cool, slender hand.

"If I won't bully Qian'er, then can I bully you?" Mu Zhi'an transmitted his voice.

Ye Lingxuan's heart raced involuntarily, and she withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted. Then she secretly glanced at Ye Qian and saw that her younger sister was still looking down, as if she was thinking about something. Only then did she slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, with a reproachful look like a girlfriend complaining about her boyfriend, she whispered, "Stop fooling around, it'll be terrible if Qian'er finds out..."

Even now, Ye Lingxuan has tacitly accepted some of Mu Zhian's bold actions, but she is still very resistant to intimacy in front of her younger sister.

The reason is quite obvious... Ye Qian fell in love with Mu Zhi'an first, and her older sister tried to stop her in every way, but now she's the one who's with Mu Zhi'an first.

If Ye Qian knew about this, given Qian'er's personality, she might not stop them or even scold them, but she might be heartbroken and quietly withdraw.

This is also a major reason why Ye Lingxuan has always wanted her younger sister to not know about this matter.

She had wanted to tell her sister the truth for a long time, but she just couldn't bring herself to say it.

Although Ye Lingxuan was unaware that Ye Qian had been secretly peeking from the doorway ever since she and Mu Zhian started playing around in the room.

Ye Lingxuan believed that she and her younger sister had grown up together since childhood and knew her sister's personality very well... In fact, this was indeed the case. Ye Lingxuan knew Ye Qian's daily habits and even her personality like the back of her hand.

The girl clearly hadn't expected that her younger sister had some rather strange fetishes...

Ye Qian glanced casually at Mu Zhian's hand holding her sister's hand, then quietly looked away.

What Mu Zhian might consider an insignificant movement was, but after receiving a certain inheritance from Dao Feng, Ye Qian, though lacking her sister's keen perception of spiritual energy, was still able to discern some subtle movements.

For example, just now Brother Mu secretly held Sister's hand and teased her...

For example, just now in the room, my sister was lying on the bed kissing my brother Mu... Just thinking about it makes me feel excited.

Ye Qian kept her head down and remained silent, looking shy, but her almond-shaped eyes were sparkling with excitement.
