It turns out, they were the main characters.

A fairy in a green dress appeared beside Mu Zhi'an like a fluttering butterfly.

With her fair skin and rosy lips, she gazed at Mu Zhian with a slight smile: "Five days ago, I was worried about your safety, so I took the initiative to wake up from my slumber."

So that's why they were worried about my safety... Mu Zhian was slightly taken aback at first, then thought to himself, "Holy crap!"

Five days ago?

If I remember correctly, he went to Tianxuan City just four days ago, and the night before he went, he was with Bai Ruoxi...

Mu Zhian subconsciously looked at the fairy in the green dress. The thin green dress wrapped around the woman's delicate body, her fair neck had a beautiful curve, and her unadorned hair set off her pretty face. However, she seemed to be shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see her true appearance.

But it was precisely this hazy beauty that aroused Mu Zhian's desire to explore it further.

Was she spying on me...? Mu Zhian thought to herself.

"The Reincarnation Water is hard to obtain, but I trust my young friend beside me. You should go back now," the fairy in the green dress said gently.

Those words seemed to contain a profound truth, spreading out like ripples, rendering the arrogant young girl Yao Xin unable to muster any resistance, and she obediently nodded.

Mu Zhian watched Yao Xin leave obediently without any sign of resistance, and his mouth opened slightly, feeling a pang of sadness.

I haven't even asked her for my Nirvana Silk yet...

But in front of this powerful being, he couldn't very well ask for Nirvana Silk in her presence, so he could only watch helplessly as the walking Nirvana Silk left.

Mu Zhian forced himself to calm down and took the initiative to inquire about the 'great white shark' in the fishpond, asking, "How have you been recuperating lately, senior?"

The fairy in the green dress nodded slightly and smiled gently, "Very good."

It may seem like a simple evaluation, but it is a heartfelt praise.

With the addition of the Heavenly Dao Qi to Mu Zhi'an's innate spiritual energy, even her incomplete spiritual consciousness could be nurtured, which truly surprised the Empress.

"After today, I will return to my slumber, so you don't need to worry about what's going on with me. Just do what you normally would," the fairy in the green dress said, her eyes filled with profound meaning.

Clearly, she was referring to the intimate moment Mu Zhian and Bai Ruoxi had shared in the house a few days prior.

Upon hearing this, even Mu Zhian couldn't hold back his emotions.

But as a responsible fishpond owner, he maintained his composure and nodded slightly.

After the fairy in the green dress returned to the cauldron, Mu Zhian felt a mix of emotions and sat under the pavilion, contemplating life.

Only when he heard a mocking laugh beside him did he turn his head to look.

Wei Mengrou was standing behind him at some point, her eyes filled with schadenfreude.

They will take the opportunity to mock you, and sooner or later you'll be holding up your skirt for Young Master Mu to admire... Mu Zhian said, "I have to go out for a while, and I'll have to trouble Sister Mengrou to tell them later."

Wei Mengrou hesitated and asked, "Where to?"

Although she had just mocked Mu Zhi'an mercilessly, the maid still couldn't help feeling uneasy when she realized he was about to leave.

After all, she had just experienced a lot of bad luck yesterday.

“The Hall of Enforcement,” Mu Zhian said.

He wanted to explain that he had returned. In addition, before the chief left, he told him that he could get a lot of sect contributions by going to the Enforcement Hall.

These sect contributions can be exchanged for a considerable amount of medicinal herbs within the sect.

Even though Wei Mengrou hid it well, Mu Zhian still noticed the unease in her eyes. He mustered up his courage, reached out and grabbed one of Wei Mengrou's delicate hands, feeling the cool touch of her palm, and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

A hint of panic flashed in Wei Mengrou's eyes. She gently brushed his hand away, and then, under Mu Zhian's gaze, she said coldly, "If you're going, then hurry up and go."

Mu Zhian stared at Wei Mengrou, and when he saw a hint of something else in the maid's eyes, he couldn't help but grin, then turned and left Tianhe Garden with satisfaction.

Even knowing he's a jerk, you can still feel a little touched no matter what... That's how most women think.

It must be said that Young Master Mu's ability to seize opportunities is truly top-notch.

"Aaa~!"

Just as Mu Zhian was about to leave, a beautiful song suddenly came from behind him. Then, Lin Ling, who had just entered the house, jogged to catch up with Mu Zhian and held up a cardboard sign: I'll go with you.

After experiencing the benefits of following Mu Zhi'an a few days ago, Lin Ling seemed to have become more dependent on him, as if she believed that following him would guarantee her success.

This made Mu Zhian wonder where this spirit dragon lady went to forage for food when he was away.

Mu Zhian smiled and nodded: "Okay."

……

Qingyang Palace.

Mu Zhian and Lin Ling, who were dressed in unremarkable clothes, had just entered the depths of the main hall when they suddenly heard a commotion.

One of the voices sounded strangely familiar to him.

With a touch of curiosity, Mu Zhian entered the main hall and saw two sect disciples sparring outside.

Not long after, a clear voice rang out:

"Ye Yu wins!"

As the voice faded, the disciples watching from the sidelines were filled with admiration.

"A Qi Refining Peak cultivator can barely fight against a Spirit Refining cultivator. Junior Brother Ye is truly amazing."

"I won 100 sect contribution points in just one sparring match. Sect contribution points are too easy to obtain."

"But that only applies if you can win," someone immediately chimed in with a laugh.

There are occasional minor conflicts among disciples of a sect, and the best way to resolve these conflicts within the sect is through sparring.

As for the stakes, they are generally contributions to the sect.

A sect mission usually yields fifty to one hundred contribution points, and this often takes two or three days. Ye Yu earned one hundred sect contribution points in this sparring session, which explains why other disciples envied him.

However, Mu Zhian had no interest in these matters, so he silently walked into the main hall.

Deep inside the main hall, Mu Zhi'an first asked Lin Ling to wait at the door, then knocked on a door and saw a man sitting in front of a desk.

He was dressed in a dark blue robe, with a white beard. The moment you saw him, you felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Zheng Yuan, the deputy head of the Enforcement Hall.

Beside Zheng Yuan was Yan Ruyu, the head of the library.

"Master," Mu Zhian said, bowing to Yan Ruyu.

When they were out in public, he still felt it was more appropriate to call the other person "Master".

Zheng Yuan looked at Mu Zhi'an with his cloudy eyes and slowly asked, "You are Mu Zhi'an?"

Mu Zhian clasped his hands and said, "Disciple Mu Zhian greets Hall Master!"

Then, seeing that Zheng Yuan didn't react, Mu Zhi'an continued, "This disciple came here because of the sect's contribution..."

The deputy hall master's expression didn't change at all; he simply raised his hand and tossed a sect token to Mu Zhi'an.

"There are 10,000 sect contribution points on this. You can exchange them for the medicinal herbs or pills you want on the third floor of the Enforcement Hall. In addition, there are some rare ancient items that you can get randomly. You can take a look if you are interested."

"Thank you, Hall Master," Mu Zhian said, clasping his hands in thanks.

This is the benefit of having established connections. If he hadn't known Ying Guhuan and Yan Ruyu, he would never have been able to make so many contributions to the sect this time.

"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank your master next to you and Chief Ying. They attribute all the credit for this to you; otherwise, the sect wouldn't have made such a significant contribution," Zheng Yuan said calmly.

Then, he looked Mu Zhian up and down again and said, "This time it's fine, but you should be more careful next time. You should take things one step at a time."

"The Refining Spirit Realm cultivator drove the Returning Void Realm demon cultivator out of Tianxuan City, and then cooperated with the two chiefs to capture the demon cultivator... Do you believe this?" Zheng Yuan shook his head and chuckled as he spoke.

The record states that Mu Zhian deserves the main credit for capturing the demon cultivator, while the two chiefs were merely responsible for capturing the demon cultivator.

But a cultivator at the Refining Spirit Realm drove a demon cultivator at the Returning Void Realm out of Tianxuan City... I doubt anyone would believe that.

Mu Zhian replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I did participate in the capture of the demon cultivator, but the one who made the great contribution was not me."

"That's good." Zheng Yuan nodded slightly, then looked Mu Zhi'an up and down and smiled, "Then if I were to deduct a portion of your ten thousand sect contribution points, would you accept it?"

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly and said calmly, "Zheng Yuan, I have already said that Mu Zhian deserves the most credit for capturing the demon cultivator this time. Why don't you believe me?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, "Sect Master Yan, do you really believe that a cultivator at the Refining Spirit Realm could scare a demon cultivator at the Returning Void Realm out of Tianxuan City?"

Yan Ruyu said calmly, "If we have to divide the sect's contribution according to merit, then you may have to leave a portion of the sect's contribution for another person who participated in this sect mission."

"Besides you and Chief Ying, were there other people involved in this arrest?" Zheng Yuan seemed intrigued and asked, "Who were they?"

"To be precise, she was the one who drove that demon cultivator out of Tianxuan City, but that person was also invited to Tianxuan City by my disciple," Yan Ruyu said.

"Without Mu Zhian, we might not have been able to capture that demon cultivator this time."

"To scare away a cultivator at the Returning Void Realm... In my Two Elements Sect, only the Sect Master and Spirit Dragon could achieve this." Zheng Yuan said with a smile, "Could it be that young friend Mu can persuade the Sect Master or Spirit Dragon to come down the mountain?"

“Linglong did indeed follow him down the mountain during this operation,” Yan Ruyu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuan couldn't help but chuckle: "In the past thousand years, the Spirit Dragon has only chosen seven or eight people to inherit its fortune. As for the cultivators that the Spirit Dragon is close to, it seems that only the Sect Master has done so far."

"And what you mean, Pavilion Master Yan, is that Linglong listened to a disciple and even went down the mountain with him?"

"Not bad," Yan Ruyu said calmly.

Zheng Yuan couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Even newborn babies wouldn't believe that, let alone him.

Looking at Zheng Yuan, who clearly didn't believe her, Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, about to speak again.

At that moment, a piece of letter paper floated lightly onto the desk.

There was someone spying at the door... and I didn't even sense their presence just now? A hint of doubt appeared in Zheng Yuan's eyes as he looked at the letter.

When he saw the crooked and scraggly writing on the letter, he was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the door.

Because there was only a crack in the door, the deputy head of the Enforcement Hall could not see the other person's face clearly, but could only see a beautiful red star-like eye secretly peeking into the room.

"..."

Zheng Yuan was stunned for a moment, feeling as if his brain had suddenly short-circuited.

After a brief hesitation, he suddenly stood up and stared intently at the faint, eerie gaze peeking through the crack in the door.

Senior Spirit Dragon?!

Why is she still here?

As Zheng Yuan thought about this, he recalled what Yan Ruyu had just said, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on Mu Zhian.
