It turns out, they were the main characters.

As she approached the door, she paused slightly, turned to look at Mu Zhian, and said sincerely, "Thank you. Ruoxi will definitely repay your kindness in the future."

"Please believe me, Young Master Mu," Bai Ruoxi said earnestly.

Mu Zhian simply smiled and nodded.

He believed Bai Ruoxi's words.

Last time in the carriage, Bai Ruoxi's tone was somewhat perfunctory when she made her request, but this time, it was clear that she was serious.

As for the reason... it is naturally related to Bai Ruoxi's contact with Mu Zhian these past few days, and the difficulties that have occurred to the girl.

From this moment on, the outcome of the match with Ye Yu two days later was no longer important.

No matter what he does, Ye Yu has already lost.

The main character may still be Ye Yu... but the female lead is no longer Bai Ruoxi.

The real focus now isn't Ye Yu, but...

'Suppressing bandits'.

Suppress the "bandit" in black robes.

After watching Bai Ruoxi's figure leave, Mu Zhian also turned around, intending to go back to his room to rest.

At that moment, a twisted shadow quietly emerged from the darkness beside them.

He was a spy for the Shepherd family.

Mu Zhian turned his head to look at the spy and said calmly, "What is it?"

"Young Master, the Grand Elder requests that you meet him in the secret chamber," the spy said respectfully.

Without a copybook, it's hard to copy from books... and I don't even know how well I've written it. If you think it's okay, please give me some recommendations to cheer me up!

Chapter 29 Living Off a Soft Rice (4K)

As the most powerful force in Tianxuan City, the Mu family naturally has more than just the experts they have on the surface.

Besides Wei Mengrou and Elder Ren, who are known to the public, Mu Zhian's parents are also at the Refining Spirit Realm.

However, they left Tianxuan City some time ago due to certain matters, and the Mu family was handed over to Old Master Ren to manage.

However, Mu Zhian has been handling the Mu family's affairs for the past few days, mainly because the old man wanted to train Mu Zhian.

Although Mu Zhian's performance in the past was not satisfactory, he seems to have matured a lot recently.

Even if Mu Zhian can't cover the fallout, he still has other trump cards to clean up the mess.

One of the Mu family's true trump cards is these elders who are in seclusion and cultivating.

Even Mu Zhian's parents addressed the elders as "elders."

Led by the secret agent, Mu Zhian walked along a winding and secluded path and unknowingly arrived at a secret room.

Meanwhile, the spy beside him had already quietly left the door of the secret room.

One of the things a secret agent needs to keep in mind is "don't know too many secrets".

If you want to live a long life, you must always keep this in mind.

Why does this place look so eerie...? Mu Zhian said respectfully, "Elder, what brings you here so late?"

Even Mu Zhian had never seen this elder since he was a child. It was said that because of his advanced age, he had been in a deep sleep for many years and had never interfered in the affairs of the clan.

Even the people in the clan had previously thought that this elder had already passed away.

I wonder what could have disturbed such a being...?

Even Mu Zhian couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Just as Mu Zhian was thinking this, an old voice came from the secret room: "Your foundation is solid, but your essence is weak and unstable. You must have been to the brothels quite often."

How does this Grand Elder even know about the Imperial Music Bureau...? Mu Zhi'an clasped his hands in greeting and said respectfully, "Greetings, Grand Elder."

An aged voice came from the secret room again: "I heard from my spies about what happened in Tianxuan City recently. You rid the people of a scourge, which shows that you are of good character. However, you need to be careful in your contest with Ye Yu."

"Being able to advance to the peak of the Refinement Realm in less than a few months, that young man's future achievements are destined to be extraordinary."

"Peak of Refining Essence...?" Mu Zhi'an was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised. "He's already at the peak of Refining Essence?"

He remembered that Wei Mengrou had said a few days ago that Ye Yu was only a seventh-grade Refining Essence cultivator.

"With that thing, a few days is enough to reach the peak of the Essence Refinement Realm," the elder in the secret chamber sighed.

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "Is there something in Ye Yu's body that has accelerated his cultivation?"

"I'm not sure if that Ye family kid has anything inside him, but I do know what the black-robed man who secretly infiltrated the Mu family a few days ago wanted."

The old man inside the stone gate slowly spoke, "The Qi of Heaven."

Mu Zhian's gaze froze slightly.

No wonder Ye Yu's cultivation speed is so fast; if it's the Qi of Heaven, then such a speed is indeed to be expected.

Mu Zhian had previously read descriptions of the Qi of Heaven in ancient books, and had a general idea of ​​what kind of treasure it was.

But Mu Zhian was still puzzled and asked, "Elder, if that's the case, why doesn't the man in black robes just take the Heavenly Dao Qi from Ye Yu's body directly, instead of asking us for help?"

"Is it because he is wary of the experts in Tianxuan City, or perhaps he made some kind of oath?" Mu Zhian asked again, offering his speculation.

"Your comprehension is quite good." The elder's tone carried a hint of appreciation.

In the world of cultivation, cultivators cannot make vows lightly, as breaking a promise may invite a tribulation of lightning. However, if they entrust someone else to do the same thing, they will not be subject to a tribulation of lightning.

The most likely reason why the man in black robes never attacked Ye Yu is that he had made some kind of vow.

"Does the Grand Elder hope that I will stop the man in black robes from seizing the Heavenly Dao Qi, or... does he hope that I will replace the man in black robes?" Mu Zhi'an suddenly asked.

"I'm just giving you a heads-up. As for what to do... that's up to you."

"However, Ye Yu is destined to be extraordinary in the future. If possible, try not to antagonize him."

The Qi of Heaven is a rare treasure that only chooses those with great fortune as its host.

The so-called great luck, to put it bluntly, means surviving a fall off a cliff and having a miraculous encounter; being chased but not dying and always being rescued; and although having an average appearance, always managing to attract girls' attention and affection in various ways.

Mu Zhian was taken aback, and said with a complicated feeling, "It's too late."

"The younger generation's petty squabbles won't hold grudges when they grow up, so it won't be difficult for them to befriend Ye Yu," the elder said earnestly.

"His fiancée is spending the night at our Mu family's house," Mu Zhian said succinctly.

Grand Elder: "..."

This child actually managed to snag the Bai family's darling daughter... The elder inside the stone gate remained silent for a long while, then sighed softly and said, "Never mind... Did you leave the Mu family tonight to go to the Liangyi Sect?"

“Yes,” Mu Zhian replied.

“Old Man Ren talked to me. To treat the Bai family patriarch, we need the Beast King Vine. However, the Beast King Vine is a medicinal herb that is only found in the Liangyi Sect. Without the Bai family’s great help, you have to be careful.”

"In addition, focus on cultivation. As for Daoist partners, once you enter the Liangyi Sect in the future, you can find as many as you want without any problem. You can also find any medicinal herbs you need there."

Clearly, the Grand Elder wanted to give Mu Zhi'an a warning, telling him to focus on his cultivation and not get obsessed with women.

However, Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment and said, "But I've found the Beast King Vine..."

Perhaps sensing that the sounds in the secret room had subsided, Mu Zhian explained:

“We met a fairy sister outside the Liangyi Sect. She gave me a Beast King Vine and said that she would give me one of the pills after I refined a batch of pills.”

After a long silence, the old man in the stone gate slowly spoke: "...While it's good to rely on external forces, you must also remember to improve your own strength."

“I understand… but Elder, you may not know this, but I have a naturally weak stomach.” Mu Zhian said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

So you have to eat soft rice with a strong will.

A soft sigh came from the secret room, followed by the words, "Step back."

He's clearly talented, yet he wants to live off a woman... How could the eldest son of the Mu family have given birth to such a child?

The old man in the secret room slowly shook his head.

He does have some of the charm he had in his youth.

……

Not far from the city center of Tianxuan City, you can see a tall building decorated in a rather classical and elegant style.

The words "Dawn Auction House" are written on it in large characters.

This is the largest auction house in Tianxuan City, and also one of the properties under the Dawn Chamber of Commerce.

The following morning, Mu Zhian arrived at the hall behind the auction house, hosted by Fei Ying, the auctioneer from the Morning Light Chamber of Commerce.

Fei Ying sat on the tea chair next to Mu Zhi'an. Her red cheongsam accentuated her alluring waist and pert hips. She crossed her left leg over her right, her feet dangling in red embroidered shoes. She had a superb figure, and a beauty mark under her right eye added to her mature and charming aura.

In the past, some items at auction houses were able to sell for high prices partly because some hot-blooded young men tried to win a woman's smile or attract her attention.

However, to this day, no one has succeeded in winning the heart of the beauty.

"Young Master Mu, what are you planning to buy this time? I've already prepared a private room for you. I'll have my men take you there in a bit." Fei Ying smiled charmingly, her eyes, like autumn water, fixed on Mu Zhi'an.

In the past, Mu Zhian was also one of those passionate young men who tried to win the favor of a beautiful woman and "made a name for himself" at auctions, buying up some useless things.

For auctioneers like Fei Ying, their favorite clients are big spenders like Mu Zhi'an.

Therefore, it is natural to give the other party special care.

Some auctioneers even occasionally grant special requests from wealthy clients in order to maintain a steady clientele.

Of course, someone of Fei Ying's caliber doesn't need to do these things to maintain a stable customer base, and the main reason for this is her business acumen.

Mu Zhian took out the prepared slips of paper and placed them on the table, smiling, "I won't go to the auction house today. Sister Fei Ying, just prepare three sets of each of the medicinal herbs written on them for me."

Upon hearing this, Fei Ying picked up the note on the table and glanced at it.

These medicinal herbs are not particularly rare, so it's not difficult to gather them all.

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare right away." Fei Ying nodded gently, then her eyes darted around as she looked at Mu Zhi'an with a smile and said, "Really not going to take another look at the auction house? I can give you a special discount, you know?"

As she spoke, she gently supported herself on the table with her palms, looked down at the boy sitting in the chair, her eyes smiling and her gaze full of charm as she looked at Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian only needed to look up once to feel an immense sense of oppression coming from above.
