It turns out, they were the main characters.

Wei Mengrou glanced at Mu Zhian unintentionally.

Mu Zhian has been busy these past two days, but not to the point of forgetting to reply to the letter with the paper crane; he simply forgot...

No wonder there was no reply in the past two days. It turns out that an elder in the clan is seriously ill... Lan Mulian's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, then she closed her eyes slightly and scanned the ring on her right index finger with her divine sense, taking out a small box with exquisite workmanship from it.

A storage ring...

Moreover, it seems to be a high-grade ring... Mu Zhian seemed to be deep in thought.

Such storage rings are very valuable, but the Mu family has a large influence in Tianxuan City, so obtaining such a storage ring is not difficult.

However, judging from how long Lan Mulian searched her storage ring with her divine sense, it was clear that her ring contained a large number of precious items.

Lan Mulian gently tossed the small box into Mu Zhian's hands.

Upon opening the box, a strong medicinal aroma wafted out. Mu Zhian looked closely and saw a root inside that appeared to be as thick as a teacup. The mottled marks on the surface of the root seemed to vaguely form the character "王" (king).

It is the Beast King Vine.

Mu Zhian looked up and saw that Lan Mulian's expression was still indifferent. She said, "No need for thanks or anything like that. Just give me one of the pills you've refined next time."

Such a large Beast King Vine could at least be used to refine a batch of pills with the same therapeutic effect. This Beast King Vine was practically free... Mu Zhian was almost certain that this was definitely a rich and mature woman.

"Fairy sister, I don't want to work hard anymore..." Mu Zhian nodded and said, "Thank you, senior sister."

Lan Mulian nodded slightly and asked, "Which city are you in?"

"Tianxuan City".

Lan Mulian gave a soft "Mmm": "If there's nothing else, go back. Wandering around outside for too long might make you a target for enemies."

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "We'll head back now. Does Senior Sister want to come back to Tianxuan City with us?"

Lan Mulian hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Let's wait a few more days."

"By the way, what's your name, Senior Sister?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

Lan Mulian glanced at her side slightly, a faint smile appearing on her face for the first time: "You'll know next time we meet."

The voice was crisp and clear, like ice breaking, and beneath the thin veil, a faint smile played in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Mu Zhian.

Lan Mulian lifted the hem of her moon-white skirt and stepped gracefully onto the cloud-embroidered boots.

She was tall and had excellent proportions. Even without seeing her face, her slender back view alone gave people endless imagination. One glance was enough to tell that she was a stunning beauty.

If a disciple of the Liangyi Sect of high status were to descend the mountain and head to Tianxuan City... it would probably cause a sensation throughout the entire city.

Watching Lan Mulian's beautiful figure disappear from sight, Mu Zhian felt a pang of emotion. He withdrew his gaze, plopped down on his flying sword, and turned his head to smile, saying, "Let's go back, Sister Mengrou."

Wei Mengrou nodded, raised her fingertips, and controlled her flying sword, carrying Mu Zhian as they sped off towards the direction of Tianxuan City.

She faced the night wind, her hair flying, her clothes clinging to her skin, outlining her alluring curves.

"What are you planning to do next?" Wei Mengrou suddenly asked.

Sitting on his flying sword, Mu Zhian glanced at Wei Mengrou, who was dressed in a pale yellow dress, and stroked the small box in his hand. He smiled and said, "With the Beast King Vine, the remaining materials can be easily gathered by sending someone to the auction house. In other words, now we have the characters, the scene, and the event."

"So now, all we need to do is bring all the actors on stage and then help them perform to the best of their ability, right?"

Chapter 28 Suppressing Bandits

The Ye family.

In the stillness of the night, when everyone is sound asleep, only the candlelight in one room remains burning brightly.

In the room, the handsome young man slowly opened his dark eyes.

He adjusted the spiritual energy within his body, then took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Her eyes gleamed with undisguised joy as she murmured to herself:

"Peak of Essence Refinement!"

In less than a few months, he went from being a useless person to reaching the peak of the Refinement Realm.

Ye Yu's talent amazed everyone in the clan, from his cousins ​​to his parents and elders. They all looked at him with new respect.

This time, however, he will not be as impetuous and complacent as he was in the past.

During his time as a "useless person," Ye Yu's originally restless heart had become incredibly calm.

However, this calm heart couldn't help but become somewhat violent when it thought of Mu Zhi'an.

We must defeat Mu Zhian... only then can the sky be wider in the future... Ye Yu quietly clenched his fist, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"Although it's unlikely that I can reach the Qi Refining Realm within two days, with my current trump cards, even fighting across levels is not a problem."

Although Mu Zhian was at the Qi Refining stage, his body had long been hollowed out due to his years of indulging in beautiful women.

Although he is at the Qi Refining stage, his actual strength is probably only similar to his.

"Just wait and see, Ruoxi," Ye Yu thought to himself.

If Ruoxi defeats Mu Zhian decisively in the Dragon Head Forest two days later, she will regret her decision that day.

Recalling the scene of being jilted in the Bai family courtyard that day, as well as the look and attitude Bai Ruoxi had when she looked at Mu Zhian, and thinking about how he had pursued her so hard for so long, only to be treated coldly by her, Ye Yu felt a burning jealousy in his heart.

Even if he could appear calm and composed in front of others, seeing his admired fiancée so inclined towards that scoundrel was unbearable.

However, this matter is about to come to an end...

With it... Tianxuan City was just the beginning for him.

Ye Yu looked at the "Heavenly Qi" that had quietly condensed in his hand, his eyes filled with confidence.

According to the old man inside my body, the Heavenly Qi is a "fragment" left behind when a powerful "Ascension Stage" expert fell in the past.

Each strand of Heavenly Qi possesses different abilities.

The Heavenly Dao Qi in his hand can refine the spiritual energy from the outside world and incorporate it into his body at any time.

If used actively, it can accelerate the refining of the surrounding spiritual energy for one's own use.

It can be said that the Heavenly Dao Qi played a decisive role in Ye Yu's return to the ranks of "geniuses" in the Ye family.

It's just a pity that the old man inside my body is still asleep and will only be able to awaken after I enter the Qi Refining Realm.

Otherwise, with that old man around, this trump card... a mere Mu Zhian would be no match for him at all.

Ye Yu calmed himself down slightly, sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, drew out the Qi of Heaven, closed his eyes, and entered a state of cultivation once again.

……

at the same time.

On the other side, Mu Zhina returned to the Mu residence late at night and entrusted the Beast King Vine to Wei Mengrou for safekeeping, asking her to give it to Old Master Ren the next day.

After finishing all this, Mu Zhian was preparing to go back to his room to rest.

As he walked through the courtyard corridor, he saw Bai Ruoxi standing in front of the courtyard.

Bathed in moonlight, her snow-white skin seemed to be tinged with a silvery glow, highlighting her exquisite beauty.

The sorrow in her eyes added to her pitiful charm.

In just a few days, the Bai family not only suffered a series of misfortunes, but the mother was suspected of betrayal, the father was seriously injured, and now they have a home but cannot go back.

This series of events felt like a heavy burden, pressing down on the girl's shoulders and leaving her physically and mentally exhausted. As a result, she was completely unable to fall asleep tonight, lying on the unfamiliar bed.

How glorious was the Bai family in the past?

Miss Bai walks down the street like a star surrounded by admirers... Although she is still popular, there are always some gossipy women who are envious and jealous of Bai Ruoxi's beauty, talking behind her back.

When they had money, they called Miss Bai's aloofness "refined elegance," but now, those gossipy women secretly curse her for being pretentious and putting on an act for men.

No matter the era, there will always be envious people.

Seeing others make money is more painful than losing money yourself... that's jealousy.

The woman in the white dress looked up at the hazy moonlight, recalling all that had happened in the past few days, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her back. When she turned around, she saw a light blue fur coat draped over her shoulder.

"Young Master Mu?" Bai Ruoxi blurted out.

A young man who looked like a refined gentleman appeared behind her at some point, smiling, and said:

"It's getting cold, so it's best to take precautions against the cold when you go out."

Bai Ruoxi gave Mu Zhian a complicated look and said softly, "Thank you..."

She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "However, once you reach the Qi Refining Realm, you can easily expel cold and dampness from your body—"

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Zhian pressed his index finger against the girl's soft lips and smiled as he looked into her wide, beautiful eyes, "Don't say things like that at a time like this, it'll create a better atmosphere."

Bai Ruoxi fell silent.

Normally, she would probably chat with Mu Zhian for a few more minutes, but so much had happened tonight that she was too heavy-hearted to joke around.

“I’ve found the Beast King Vine,” Mu Zhian suddenly said.

Bai Ruoxi absentmindedly gave a soft "hmm".

Then, her expression suddenly froze, and she slowly looked up at the smiling young man, saying, "Young Master Mu, what did you just say?!"

The Beast King Vine is a rare medicinal herb that can only be found near the Liangyi Sect's mountain gate. She knew that Mu Zhian had just gone out, but she didn't expect that he had gone to find the Beast King Vine.

And they actually found it?!

"I've already given it to Sister Mengrou. Tomorrow, I'll go to the auction house to prepare the medicinal herbs, and then I can refine the pills to heal Uncle Bai," Mu Zhian continued.

Bai Ruoxi's mouth was slightly open, and she blinked, seemingly still processing this information.

It took her a long time to snap out of her thoughts and look up to ask, "Young Master Mu... is this true?"

She raised her head slightly, and her bright, beautiful eyes, which had been dull and lifeless, revealed a hint of anticipation when she saw hope. Her high, firm breasts proudly pushed up the fabric of her clothes, shining brightly and movingly in the moonlight.

Looking at the girl's flawless face, Mu Zhian sighed helplessly, "Do you think there's any point in me deliberately lying to you?"

Bai Ruoxi stood there silently for a long time before smiling gently and saying softly, "That's true... I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Thinking about it, it makes no sense. There's absolutely no point in Mu Zhian lying to her now, because if it's a lie, it will be exposed tomorrow.

"Go back and rest first. Go to the auction house early tomorrow. I need to prepare some more materials." Mu Zhian gently placed his hand on the beauty's shoulder.

Bai Ruoxi suppressed her inner joy, nodded gently, and then turned and walked gracefully towards a room in front of the courtyard.
