It turns out, they were the main characters.

However, Mu Zhian... is somewhat special.

Even disregarding the relationship with the Azure Emperor, Mu Zhi'an had a life-and-death bond with her in the Yaochi Holy Land in the past.

Moreover, he also seems to be a junior brother whom Lan Mulian values ​​highly...

As one of Lan Mulian's few 'good friends', even putting aside the matter of the Azure Emperor, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi still had a certain degree of goodwill towards Mu Zhian.

"If the fairy feels it's inappropriate, once you've crafted a necklace or other ornament using the Aurora Crystal, and there are any left over, just give me another one," Mu Zhian continued.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi raised her eyes and saw Mu Zhian's sincere smile.

After gazing at her for a moment, she smiled sweetly, a smile as gentle as a warm breeze, beautiful and captivating.

"Okay, it's a deal then."

……

Xuan Yin Palace.

Lin Keyu returned to her boudoir with a dazzling aurora crystal in her arms, and placed the crystal, which was about the size of a teacup, on the table in front of her.

After gazing at it for a moment, she rested her chin on her hands, staring at the Aurora Crystal as if in a daze.

As if recalling something interesting, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Miss, what happened? Why are you so happy?" the maid beside her asked curiously.

Lin Keyu let out a small gasp, and then, when she turned around and saw the maid behind her, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief and glared at the maid: "You scared me to death, Rou'er! When did you get into the room?"

"I called you several times when I came in, but you seemed to be daydreaming and didn't hear me." As the maid said this, her gaze turned curiously to the special spirit stone on Lin Keyu's table.

"Aurora Crystal...? When did you buy it, Miss?"

"It was a gift from someone else," Lin Keyu said.

The maid narrowed her eyes slightly and made a sound of "Eh".

Her intuition told her that something was amiss.

Lin Keyu blushed slightly, then coughed lightly and said, "By the way, what did you want to see me about?"

The maid then realized what was happening and said, "Oh right, it seems the master has something he wants to tell you, so he sent me to find you."

Lin Keyu nodded gently.

Then, she handed the Aurora Crystal to the maid and said, "Have someone make two necklaces out of this in a little while, and have him add two Froststones as embellishments. I have other uses for them afterward."

"Froststone? If I remember correctly, its value is no less than that of Aurora Crystal, and you're even making two necklaces...? Is Miss planning to give them away?" the maid asked curiously.

Unlike Aurora Crystal, Frost Stone, when made into rings, necklaces, bracelets, or other ornaments, can provide a calming effect to cultivators when they are 'bewitched' or restless.

However, the difficulty of obtaining Xuanshuang Stone is no less than that of Aurora Crystal, and it is only produced in the area where Xuanyin Palace is located. Usually, it may take decades to find a few.

Of course, the Xuan Yin Palace has existed in the Eastern Continent for so long and has a deep foundation, so it still has some stock.

If the young lady of the Xuan Yin Palace were to ask for two Xuan Shuang stones, there would naturally be no problem.

However, the phrase "two necklaces" is a bit puzzling...

"I was saved by someone in the Sword Palace before, and I just wanted to thank him a little," Lin Keyu said reservedly.

The maid gave Lin Keyu a meaningful look, then smiled slightly: "I understand. I'll go and have someone prepare it right away. Is there anything you want to say to that person, Miss? You can hide those words in the Aurora Crystal. After he receives the necklace, he will also be able to hear those words."

Lin Keyu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll think about it again after the necklace is finished."

"Then I'll go and have someone prepare, Miss." After saying this, the maid bowed slightly, then turned and left the room with the Aurora Crystal.

After a moment, Lin Keyu gently patted her cheeks, got up, and walked towards the main hall.

Although she rarely left the Xuan Yin Palace in the past, she was somewhat interested in the Liang Yi Sect's Ascension Ceremony.

It's good to see the outside world occasionally, isn't it?

This is also a good opportunity to give him a 'thank you gift'.

……

The Two Elements Sect.

Unlike the previous days, when Mu Zhian returned to the sect on his sword, he seemed to see many unfamiliar faces. Apart from the sect disciples, some of the people's clothing and appearance were somewhat different from those in Dongzhou.

Compared to the Liangyi Sect in the past, the Liangyi Sect is obviously much more lively during this period of time before the Ascension Conference.

This is not surprising. With the Ascension Ceremony approaching, certain forces from outside the Nine Provinces naturally arrived at the Liangyi Sect at this time.

Mu Zhian traveled on his sword, casually glancing at the cultivators who occasionally flew by in mid-air.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw two cultivators wearing cloud-embroidered robes fly by. The woman was wearing a sea-blue jacket, a white double-breasted blouse, and a fluffy skirt, and had a very charming temperament.

Beside her was another young man, imposing and with a restrained aura, who commanded respect at first glance.

"If I remember correctly, this should be someone from the World Sea...?" Mu Zhian muttered to himself.

The World Sea, backed by the Two Elements Sect, is an extremely vast sea area. It is generally impossible for cultivators to cross the World Sea to reach the Northern Continent.

Even by taking the spaceship, it would take nearly a month to reach the destination while adrift at sea.

It seems that the three Emperor-level medicinal herbs are indeed very attractive, and even forces in the World Sea, which has always been peaceful and undisturbed, have intervened.

However, this kind of thing has nothing to do with him. Compared to that, he is more concerned about his little sister Lingxuan right now...

The Ascension Ceremony is about to begin, but her inheritance isn't finished yet. I need to find some time to go see her tonight.

Mu Zhian flew back to Tianhe Garden on his sword. After pushing open the door to the maid's room, he saw Wei Mengrou, who was about to enter a meditative state.

"What is it?" Wei Mengrou looked up at her young master, her cold eyes filled with doubt.

"There's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Under Wei Mengrou's questioning gaze, Mu Zhian whispered something.

……

night.

Dexinyuan.

After meditating for an afternoon, Ye Lingxuan left the room to relax a bit.

However, as soon as they stepped outside, they saw two somewhat familiar figures.

It was Ye Siyu, a member of her clan in the forbidden area.

Sitting next to Ye Siyu was Ye Qian, who was dressed in a silk skirt and had a pure yet charming appearance.

Now that time has passed, Ye Qian's aura is clearly much stronger than before, and she is currently talking to Ye Siyu.

"Sister Siyu, what brings you here too?" Ye Lingxuan asked in surprise.

Ye Qian subconsciously looked up, then flashed a charming smile: "Sister, are you done meditating?"

Ye Lingxuan smiled and nodded, then came to her sister's side.

"Ye Qian and I just arrived today. We originally planned to come and find you during the day, but we didn't expect you to have left the sect." Ye Siyu smiled as she looked at her older sister's daughter.

After looking you up and down for a few moments, he couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart, "Your aura seems to be much stronger than before."

“Sister Siyu’s strength is much greater than before,” Ye Lingxuan said.

Ye Siyu's temperament and inner strength are much stronger than before, which is the benefit of receiving the inheritance in the ancestral land of the forbidden zone.

"She's still quite a bit inferior to Lingxuan." Ye Siyu glanced at Ye Lingxuan casually, then said, seemingly unintentionally:

"Ye Qian has come here as well, apparently for the Ascension Conference and your matter."

"Oh."

Ye Lingxuan responded coldly, clearly showing no interest in the genius boy from the clan. She then changed the subject: "Since Sister Siyu is here, why don't you stay here for the next few days? I'll take you on a tour of the sect tomorrow."

Ye Siyu's eyes darted around, and she said with a smile, "Alright, then I'll trouble you for a few days."

"By the way, where's your boyfriend? I'll try to visit him sometime tomorrow," Ye Siyu continued.

"..."

Ye Lingxuan's calm demeanor vanished instantly, as if she had broken down in a second.

She glanced nervously at Ye Qian beside her, and seeing that Ye Qian's expression didn't change much, she said reproachfully, "What are you saying, Sister Siyu!"

Then he continued, "It's getting late, we should go back and rest early."

Ye Siyu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and gave Ye Lingxuan a meaningful look. She had obviously learned something about Mu Zhian while chatting with Ye Qian.

"I wonder if Brother Mu has come back yet. It's been so long since I've seen him." Ye Qian's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Even if he came back, he's probably with Sister Ruoxi right now."

Ye Lingxuan snorted softly, recalling the scene not long ago when, after Bai Ruoxi woke up, Mu Zhian's gaze was almost constantly drawn to Bai Ruoxi's lewd breasts, and her mood immediately soured.

In terms of looks and talent, Ye Lingxuan is naturally no less than Bai Ruoxi. However, she is still young, so her development is naturally not as exaggerated as that of Miss Bai.

Although she didn't say it, Ye Lingxuan was actually quite disappointed.

However, she did not reveal this. After chatting with Ye Siyu and her sister in the courtyard for a while, she bid farewell to the two of them and returned to her boudoir.

After lighting the candles on the table, the girl went to the bedside, sat in front of the dressing mirror, and looked at herself in the mirror.

The mirror reflected a delicate face that looked almost flawless, dressed in a light purple dress.

The sixteen-year-old girl picked up a piece of lip rouge from the table, took a small bite, and her alluring lips instantly became plump and rosy.

Her disheveled sideburns fell onto her delicate oval face, her eyes were large and bright, her lips were small and rosy, her features were exquisite and three-dimensional, and she was pure and lovely.

Even so, there is still a considerable gap between her and Bai Ruoxi's 'maturity'.

It's obvious that Mu Zhian likes mature, sophisticated women, a fact that Ye Lingxuan could discern from Mu Zhian's past behavior.

Even though Ye Lingxuan tried to dress up and exuded a mature aura, in some ways she was still still developing...

She's not even as good as Qian'er...

Ye Lingxuan sighed softly, her long, jade-like legs slightly pressed together. Recalling everything that had happened today, she took a shallow breath and slowly exhaled.

After clearing her mind, she got up and stretched lazily, intending to sit down and meditate by the bed.

At this moment, as if sensing something, Ye Lingxuan turned her head slightly, her gaze fixed on a certain direction in the corner of the desk, and softly scolded, "Who's there?!"

The dark figure clearly hadn't expected Ye Lingxuan to notice him so quickly. He moved slightly, intending to quietly leave the room.
