It turns out, they were the main characters.

At this moment, Wei Mengrou looked at the person downstairs, the woman in the blue dress who was talking to him, and even another beauty beside him. She raised her eyebrows slightly, pursed her lips, and said lightly, "In addition to worrying about him, you should probably worry about yourself more."

"Worried about myself...?" Ye Lingxuan tilted her head slightly, following Wei Mengrou's gaze.

Standing below the pavilion at this moment were Ye Qing, the beautiful woman in the blue dress, and Ye Lianxue, a girl in a green dress beside her.

The person talking to the two women was Mu Zhi'an, who had just returned.

Ye Lingxuan's eyes widened slightly, and slowly, the light in her eyes seemed to deepen as she quietly gazed at the three people below the pavilion.

Before coming to the forbidden zone, she had been worried about Mu Zhi'an, fearing that he might be disturbed by his fellow disciples in the forbidden zone.

But now it seems she also has things to worry about on her own side...

Not only outside, but even in the restricted area, all sorts of 'seductive and shameless' women are harassing Brother Mu.

Ye Lingxuan looked down at Mu Zhian below the pavilion and said calmly, "No, don't worry."

She withdrew her gaze, turned around and went back into the pavilion, waiting for Mu Zhi'an to come upstairs.

A few days ago, the Grand Elder of the Forbidden Zone was secretly preparing a surprise welcome party for Ye Lingxuan's return. When Ye Lingxuan and Wei Mengrou returned, they were brought to this Biluo Tower.

Many disciples were already seated in the pavilion, enjoying the delicacies from the forbidden sea area.

Mu Zhian must have run into Ye Qing and Ye Lianxue on his way back, which led to the scene of the three of them chatting and laughing just now.

However, Ye Lingxuan didn't care about the details of the process.

Anyway, Brother Mu is her man, and apart from Qian'er and Sister Ruoxi who is already beyond help... she can't touch anyone else.

The future Queen of the Forbidden Zone sat in a classically decorated and brightly lit pavilion, her gaze lingering on the stairwell. When she saw the young man and the two girls from the Forbidden Zone beside him, she rose and greeted them with a bright smile, calling out in a clear, cheerful voice:

"Brother Mu".

As that clear and pleasant voice rang out, the chattering in the pavilion fell silent.

Then, the disciples of the forbidden area in the pavilion couldn't help but look in Mu Zhi'an's direction.

Chapter 196 The Test of the Forbidden Zone (4K)

"Is he Mu Zhi'an?"

When Ye Lingxuan stepped forward with a smile and greeted a stranger in a friendly manner, the expressions on the faces of the people sitting below the stage changed to varying degrees.

Within an afternoon, news of the test at the Reincarnation Pool spread rapidly throughout the forbidden area, and the disciples of the forbidden area naturally learned about what had happened at the Reincarnation Pool that day.

The test results for Mu Zhian and Wei Mengrou today can both be described as quite astonishing.

If Wei Mengrou hadn't lacked the forbidden bloodline, she might have been able to obtain a tenth-level physique and receive spiritual enhancement, just like her young mistress.

And Mu Zhian...

According to those present at the time, this person seemed to be a chaotic being, and had even gained the 'recognition' of the Reincarnation Pool.

This is a very rare occurrence, because the Reincarnation Pool generally only recognizes disciples with forbidden zone bloodlines. How could someone who has no connection with the forbidden zone gain the Reincarnation Pool's recognition?

"Didn't you hear what Miss Lingxuan just called him?" A soft voice came from the crowd. "Among the guests who came to the forbidden area this time, he's probably the only one with the surname Mu."

For a moment, the disciples of the forbidden zone present had mixed feelings. Ye Lingxuan had occasionally returned to the forbidden zone in the past. Although she had not stayed in the forbidden zone for long, she was regarded as a goddess by many disciples of the forbidden zone. In addition, there was her status as a saintess and the fact that she would receive the most perfect inheritance of the forbidden zone in the future...

Most of the disciples in the forbidden area, regardless of gender, were quite fond of Ye Lingxuan.

But this time, the other party returned with a Daoist partner...

When they first learned of this news, they intended to teach the other party a small lesson and make him back down.

But now it seems that the person the young lady chose actually has some ability...

Possessing seven top-tier physical constitutions, even though one can only specialize in one in the future, such talent is truly remarkable.

"To defeat Mu Zhi'an, one would probably need to be two or three ranks higher in cultivation level than him," someone couldn't help but sigh.

The green lotus used by Mu Zhian at that time was too strange, and even Zhou Hao could not resist it, so the cauldron was sealed.

To resist that blue lotus, one would probably have to completely overwhelm Mu Zhian in terms of cultivation level.

"The question is, how many people are currently at a cultivation level two or three grades higher than Mu Zhi'an?"

The discussion ended there, and everyone fell silent.

If I had to say, there are quite a few people in the forbidden zone whose cultivation level is higher than Mu Zhian's.

There are quite a few people of similar age to Mu Zhian, but with a higher level of cultivation.

However, being one or two grades higher might not be enough to defeat Mu Zhi'an. After all, the blue lotus that Mu Zhi'an released back then was too strange. Unless one has absolute overwhelming strength, it would be difficult to get the better of him.

"If Ye Qian makes a move, he should be able to take down Mu Zhi'an." A voice suddenly rang out from the side.

Ye Qian is the adopted son of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and he is above all other geniuses. If he were to make a move, he should be able to easily defeat Mu Zhi'an.

“Miss Ye Qing should be able to do it too, but she has no grudge against Mu Zhian, so she probably won’t challenge him.”

Ye Qing, whose strength has always been on par with Ye Qian, is also one of the most dazzling geniuses in the restricted area, and is also Zhou Hao's cousin.

However, the siblings didn't have a good relationship, so it's easy to imagine that Ye Qing probably wouldn't stand up for Zhou Hao after he was defeated.

Seeing that Mu Zhian had already appeased the unhappy Ye Lingxuan and found a nearby table to sit down, the disciples of the forbidden area who were at the banquet were somewhat helpless. One of them sighed softly, "Is there really no one who can defeat Mu Zhian?"

"What's the point of you beating him? Will that girl Lingxuan go with the winner or what?"

However, at that moment, a pleasant voice that seemed to be dismissive suddenly came from the side.

The disciples of the forbidden area glared angrily, but when they saw the woman in front of them clearly, their anger turned into respect.

"Miss Siyu?!"

It's unclear when exactly, but a young girl with light brown hair entered the pavilion.

She wore a dark-colored long dress, revealing a bit of her fair skin on her bare shoulders. Her brown hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Her pretty face didn't look particularly cute, but her bright eyes seemed to hold the waters of autumn, and she exuded a dignified aura.

"Miss Siyu, what brings you here?" Among the disciples attending the banquet in the pavilion, someone immediately recognized the girl's identity and couldn't help but ask.

Ye Siyu is the younger sister of the forbidden area. She was sealed in an array for a thousand years in the past, and the seal was only broken in this life. If we have to say, her age is similar to those present.

However, due to the girl's status, the people in the restricted area maintained a sense of awe towards her.

"Lingxuan hasn't been back for so long, and the elders are personally hosting a welcome dinner for her. It's only natural that I come and participate, isn't it?"

Ye Siyu pursed her lips, looked at the young man in the black and gold robe not far away, and said with a faint smile, "Instead of envying Mu Zhian, why don't you challenge him more often? Anyway, it's not shameful to win or lose, and it's a good opportunity to experience what the inner disciples of the Liangyi Sect are like, isn't it?"

"And even if you win, what's the point? Will Lingxuan go with you or what?"

If Mu Zhian loses, will Ye Lingxuan leave in disappointment?

It is obviously impossible.

Ultimately, someone as noble as Ye Lingxuan doesn't care at all whether Mu Zhi'an is strong or not.

Looking at the group of silent disciples from the forbidden area, Ye Siyu's lips curled up into a beautiful smile.

Although Lingxuan wouldn't leave him regardless of whether he won or lost, however...

As Lingxuan's elder, while her sister hadn't made any moves, she herself needed to keep an eye on things for Lingxuan.

Strength is only one aspect; Mu Zhian's character still needs to be tested to know for sure.

If someone has the ability but lacks integrity, then they are truly disappointing.

……

The banquet ended before we knew it amidst the lively celebrations. It must be said that this place truly lived up to its reputation as a forbidden zone; almost every dish served seemed to radiate a shimmering glow, imbued with a rich spiritual energy.

After finishing their meal, many disciples from the forbidden zones even sat in meditation, seemingly gaining some insights and about to break through.

"Your elder is really good to you. If this meal were outside, it would probably cost hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, right?" Mu Zhian couldn't help but sigh.

Those ingredients, if placed in an outside auction house, would surely cause a frenzy of bidding, but here they are served to people in turn.

"If Brother Mu wants to eat this, I can have someone bring one up for you every day from now on," Ye Lingxuan said with a smile.

"No way, wouldn't that make it seem like I'm a gigolo being kept by Sister Lingxuan?" Mu Zhian immediately shook his head, politely refusing Ye Lingxuan.

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly, seemingly displeased, and said, "I said before that Brother Mu can try to rely on me more."

Seeing this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but smile. He gently held the girl's small hand under the table and said with a smile, "When you really inherit the forbidden area, it won't matter if I completely rely on Lingxuan. As for now... it's not possible yet."

As he finished speaking, his gaze inadvertently swept over the disciples of the forbidden area present.

Now, the person who's living off a woman isn't actually living off Ye Lingxuan.

But once Ye Lingxuan inherits the throne of the forbidden zone queen in the future, then the money he's living off will belong to Ye Lingxuan... and then it won't matter anymore.

These are completely different in nature.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxuan seemed to understand and nodded gently, giving a soft "hmm".

Then, she suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "By the way, it may take me half a month or even more than a month to receive the inheritance. Brother Mu, you must be careful in the forbidden area at that time."

The disciples in the forbidden area naturally wouldn't kill Mu Zhi'an, but you can't judge a book by its cover, and it's hard to guarantee that someone won't do something outrageous out of jealousy.

"I understand, I understand. We need to be careful of their jealousy and revenge." Mu Zhian released Ye Lingxuan's small hand and placed it on her lap.

Ye Lingxuan rolled her eyes at Mu Zhian, but considering that there were too many people in the pavilion, she would be noticed if she struggled too obviously, so she held back.

After a meal and drinks, quite a few people seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough, so they either sat down to meditate or left to return home to meditate and cultivate.

"It seems we've eaten enough. Let's go for a walk," Mu Zhian said, turning to Ye Lingxuan with a smile.

The girl's attire today was similar to her usual style, yet there were still some differences. She wore a rather ornate dress, embroidered with a bright moon. The girl, in the prime of her youth, combined with such a vibrant outfit, and even with her pure and innocent face, exuded an air of naive innocence.

If Mu Zhi'an hadn't yet accepted the forbidden inheritance and couldn't engage in dual cultivation, he would have already planned to push through the high ground tonight.

"Have you looked enough...?" Normally she had a calm demeanor, but now that Mu Zhian was staring straight at her, the shy Ye Lingxuan blushed and lowered her head.

As expected, orca calves are adorable, unlike great white sharks, which only think about eating fishpond owners all day long... Mu Zhian nodded and smiled, "Let's go."

……

Not far from the Biluo Tower lies a vast sea, near which is the Reincarnation Pool that Mu Zhian had just visited, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, lush and green.

Mu Zhian and Ye Lingxuan were relaxing by the sea when Ye Lingxuan seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "By the way, how is Senior Qingdi recovering? Did the Reincarnation Water have any effect on her?"

“It should be useful. She said it would only take half a month to reshape the cauldron,” Mu Zhian said.

"It's good that I can help you, senior." Ye Lingxuan felt relieved.

"I hope to be able to reshape your body as soon as possible," she continued.
