It turns out, they were the main characters.

Looking at Wei Mengrou's thoughtful expression, Mu Zhian was afraid that she would realize what was going on, so he continued, "Moreover, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone will most likely not refuse."

"Are you really that confident?" Wei Mengrou looked at the young master with suspicion.

Mu Zhian walked up to Wei Mengrou, tied the bronze fragment in her hand, and put it around her neck.

Under the maid's slightly flickering gaze, Mu Zhi'an looked up and smiled, "The Demon Emperor has been resurrected, and the Eastern Continent will be in great chaos. A single dose of Reincarnation Water can subdue demons and eliminate evil, and we don't even have to lift a finger. Why not take advantage of it?"

"Besides, this is also the sect leader's intention."

restricted area.

In the ears of most cultivators, the mere mention of the forbidden zone evokes a genuine sense of dread and fear.

The reason for this is the curse of the forbidden zone.

The curse of the forbidden zone means that even cultivators at the Refining Spirit Realm who step into it will die mysteriously.

Therefore, in the Eastern Continent, many cultivators would turn pale at the mere mention of the word 'forbidden zone'.

Mu Zhian chatted with Wei Mengrou for a while, and then saw a huge silver dragon in the distance swinging its tail and flying to the front of the courtyard. Then it opened its mouth and spat out the egret in its mouth onto the ground.

The next moment, she gracefully landed on the ground like a fluttering butterfly, transforming into a silver-haired beauty.

"Sister Lin Ling, where did this come from...?" Mu Zhi'an looked at the egret struggling desperately on the ground with a slight surprise.

"Aaaa~" Lin Ling sang a beautiful song and pointed at the egret.

Does this mean I should cook this for her and make soup...? After spending this time together, Mu Zhian has a general understanding of what Lin Ling's daily singing means.

As for why, Mu Zhian couldn't explain it clearly either. It can only be explained by the fact that they had developed a tacit understanding after spending a long time together.

Mu Zhian carefully examined the egret on the ground. Its body was completely translucent white, its feathers looked quite soft, and it seemed to be enveloped in the essence of the sun and moon.

And he also has a lot of fat on his body.

After observing for a moment, Mu Zhian's face showed a strange expression.

“Sun and Moon Heron…” Mu Zhian murmured to himself.

This thing seems to be a Sun and Moon Heron from the Enforcement Hall... I never expected that Lin Ling would 'kidnap' it.

After a brief moment of thought, Mu Zhian nodded and smiled under Lin Ling's expectant gaze: "Wait a moment, I'll go prepare right away."

It's more important to please Linglong than to offend the head of the Enforcement Hall.

Lin Ling gazed in the direction Mu Zhi'an had left, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. She sat down in front of the courtyard, swinging her toes, waiting for her imperial chef to prepare the food and bring it up.

Not long after, Mu Zhian brought out a bowl of egret soup with a faintly sweet aroma. Lin Ling's eyes lit up immediately, and she took out the soup spoon that had been prepared beforehand.

Then, after seeing Mu Zhian bring out the heron soup, he sat down on the side.

Lin Ling tilted her head and wrote on the table: Aren't you going to eat?

Mu Zhian smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm content just watching Sister Lin Ling eat."

A hint of emotion appeared in Lin Linghong's eyes.

These days, there are practically no people willing to cook for her wholeheartedly without asking for anything in return or even eating her food. Mu Zhi'an is the first one like her.

At this moment, Mu Zhian sighed softly and said, "However, I will be going to the forbidden zone in another month, and it may take one or two months. Sister Lin Ling must take good care of herself then."

Lin Ling's eyes showed a thoughtful look. She glanced at Mu Zhi'an, hesitated for a moment, then picked up a piece of meat, put it in her bowl, and handed it to Mu Zhi'an.

Mu Zhian gently shook his head and smiled, "No need, I won't eat."

"Aaaa~" Lin Ling forced the piece of meat into Mu Zhian's mouth.

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be speechless.

He chewed on the delicious heron meat in his mouth, and then watched the silver-haired beauty nibbling on the heron meat like a kitten. He subconsciously reached out and gently touched her soft silver hair.

Lin Ling took a bite of the tender and delicious heron meat and felt someone patting her head. She couldn't help but look up, her red starry eyes looking at him in confusion.

"It's okay, don't worry about me. I just wanted to touch it." Mu Zhian silently withdrew his hand.

Oh no, how can she be so cute... Mu Zhian looked at Lin Ling, who had lowered her head and started drinking soup again, and couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart.

Although I know that people can't, or at least shouldn't, she's really so cute, I want to...

Just as Mu Zhian was thinking of this, Lin Ling suddenly stretched out her finger and wrote a few words on the table.

Mu Zhian glanced at the words written above: Don't think bad things, I can sense it.

I almost forgot, my senior sister mentioned before that the spirit dragon can sense the malice of others...

However, I didn't mean any harm; it was just my affection for Miss Linglong... Thinking about this, Mu Zhian waited for Linglong to finish her meal before getting up and leaving Tianhe Garden.

He planned to talk to Ye Lingxuan about their relationship before returning to meditate and cultivate.

At the same time, Lin Ling was quietly drinking the heron soup when she suddenly heard a light, airy voice beside her ear.

Someone is calling her.

Lin Ling subconsciously looked in the direction from which the sound came.

That's... the direction of Liangyi Peak!

……

At this moment, many disciples were strolling and chatting in front of the square of the Liuli Palace. Mu Zhi'an did not stop and went straight into the villa where the Ye sisters lived.

As soon as I stepped into the villa, I heard a slightly impatient and cold voice coming from inside, as if there had been some argument going on inside.

Lingxuan shouldn't argue with Qian'er; she seems to be an outsider...

With this in mind, Mu Zhian stepped into the courtyard.

"Didn't I say I'd go back on my own in another half month? What are you doing here?" Ye Lingxuan's tone was icy, keeping people at a distance as she stared at the three outsiders standing in front of her.

Mu Zhian looked closely and saw that the person standing to the side was Zhou Hao, one of the forbidden zone geniuses he had met a few times before.

Beside Zhou Hao was a woman dressed in a red dress, her attire quite revealing, exuding a seductive and alluring charm.

The leader was dressed simply and looked slightly old, but he exuded a subtle spiritual aura that was impossible to ignore.

This old man is at least a cultivator at the Void Returning Realm... Mu Zhian almost immediately made this judgment in his mind.

He listened attentively for a while and roughly understood what these people wanted to see Ye Lingxuan for.

They were originally supposed to set off for the forbidden area half a month before the start of the inheritance, but the elders of the clan seemed uneasy, so they came to find their young lady ahead of time, hoping to bring her back.

However, Ye Lingxuan naturally refused to return to the forbidden area so soon. Firstly, she did not want to part with her sister so quickly, and secondly, she had not yet explained the matter to Mu Zhian.

"Let's talk about it in half a month," Ye Lingxuan said calmly.

“Miss, the inheritance of the forbidden zone is of great importance. It would be troublesome if it delayed our journey,” Zhou Hao immediately advised.

"The inheritance ceremony will not officially begin for another month, and it will last for nearly half a year after that. What schedule will be delayed?" Ye Lingxuan glanced at Zhou Hao indifferently, her tone calm.

The inheritance of the forbidden zone is not something that only Ye Lingxuan can participate in. All the geniuses of the clan will be able to participate, but only Ye Lingxuan will be able to truly receive the inheritance and become the master of the forbidden zone.

However, geniuses among other clansmen can also benefit greatly from the inheritance.

"In the end, the reason you sent me to the forbidden area ahead of time is simply because you don't want Brother Mu to come with me, right?" Ye Lingxuan saw through their thoughts at a glance.

Within the Liangyi Sect, if a newly joined disciple wishes to leave the sect for an extended period, they must explain this to the Enforcement Hall. The approval process following this explanation may take two to three days.

If she agrees to depart tomorrow, Mu Zhian might not have enough time to obtain approval from the Enforcement Hall.

As for why the people in the forbidden zone know so much about the Two Elements Sect, it's obvious that it's related to Zhou Hao, who has been in the Two Elements Sect recently.

Having his motives exposed, Zhou Hao wasn't embarrassed. He just smiled and said, "I was only thinking about the continuation of Miss's legacy, not targeting any particular person."

"The matter of inheritance is of great importance; Miss, you should consider it carefully." As Old Zhou said this, his gaze fell on Mu Zhi'an, and he slowly continued:

"Young friend, what do you think?"

Zhou Hao and the woman in the red dress then noticed that a noble young man dressed in a black and gold robe had appeared in front of the villa at some point, and was now smiling at them.

The woman in the red dress narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Is he Mu Zhi'an?"

When Zhou Cang was driven back by the Liangyi Sect last time, many people in the clan were discussing Mu Zhi'an's matter. Some female cultivators were even curious about the young man who had been chosen by the young lady. Liu Honghuai, the woman in the red dress, was one of them.

Looking at it now, he is indeed quite handsome, and his talent... reaching the Refining God Realm is not bad either.

However, compared to the young lady, she is still quite inferior.

What exactly made the young lady choose him?

While Liu Honghuai was still thinking about such things, Mu Zhian had already arrived in front of them. He glanced at Zhou Hao and the old man, then subtly and quickly looked at Liu Honghuai from head to toe before looking away, like a refined and elegant gentleman, and staring straight ahead.

"Does my sister know me?" As he spoke, Mu Zhian avoided Liu Honghuai, not even glancing at her.

Liu Honghuai, standing to the side, said with a coquettish smile, "You're quite famous in our forbidden area, after all, you're the first person to be so intimate with our young lady."

Judging from his tone, Zhou Cang must have said a lot of bad things about me in the restricted area after he went back... Mu Zhian shook his head modestly and said, "I didn't know Ling Xuan's identity at first, and my feelings for her have never changed because of her identity."

Finally, his gaze gently fell upon Ye Lingxuan.

Ye Lingxuan maintained her composure and sat elegantly, but if you looked closely, you could still see a slight blush on her face.

This scene was naturally captured by Zhou Hao. His eyes flashed with a sharp, cold light as he said in a low voice, "Young Master Mu, Elder Zhou came to the Liangyi Sect ahead of schedule to invite Miss to return to the forbidden area tomorrow. However, she refused us because of you. What do you think is the best course of action?"

“I respect Lingxuan’s decision,” Mu Zhian said with a smile.

"What do you mean by respecting her decision? She only stayed in the sect because of you and refused to leave. You're talking like nothing's wrong..." Zhou Hao was speechless. Looking at Mu Zhi'an's hypocritical "I'm thinking of her and I respect her decision" act, his anger intensified.

“The young lady’s inheritance is of utmost importance. If any mishap occurs due to delays, neither of us can bear the responsibility,” Zhou Hao said in a deep voice.

Mu Zhian was taken aback: "Shouldn't you be telling this to Lingxuan? Why are you telling me?"

“Besides, didn’t I hear that the inheritance of the forbidden zone lasts for half a year? Isn’t half a year enough?” Mu Zhi’an continued.

As he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Honghuai and asked, "Sister, how long does it usually take for you to receive a transmission of knowledge?"

Liu Honghuai seemed quite pleased with Mu Zhian's way of addressing her, narrowing her eyes and smiling as she said, "About a month, no more than two months at most."

Mu Zhian turned his gaze back to Zhou Hao and smiled, "Brother Zhou Hao seems to be worrying too much about your young lady."

At this moment, the old man who had remained silent slowly said, "Miss's identity is special, and the time of her inheritance cannot be judged by common sense. This is why I came to the sect in advance to welcome her."

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then said, "What you say is true, senior. However, I wonder what the Lord of the Forbidden Zone said?"

The old man was silent for a moment, then said, "The master didn't say anything."
