It turns out, they were the main characters.

Ye Lingxuan is a rather stubborn girl. Don't be fooled by how gently she calls Mu-gege. Once she's made up her mind about something, she's unlikely to change it.

However, it's not far from here to Tianhe Garden, so it's fine to wait a bit.

……

When Mu Zhian pushed open the door, he saw a bright moon hanging quietly under the night sky.

It was still snowing, and the night sky was covered with dark clouds, making the bright moon appear incredibly eerie.

"What's going on...?"

Mu Zhian's gaze sharpened slightly as he stared intently at the bright moon in the sky, which was emitting a soft light that gave people a feeling of exceptional warmth.

For some reason, just seeing the bright moon for a moment, Mu Zhian felt a strange sense of awe... and a strange sense of disgust.

"Brother Mu...?"

Just then, a questioning voice came from not far away. Mu Zhian turned his head and saw Ye Qian standing in front of the corridor. She was radiating a faint golden light, and her snow-white skin seemed to be covered with a sacred glow.

She wore a light blue, double-breasted jacket that accentuated her full, rounded breasts. Her hands were pressed against her skirt, and her bright, pitiful eyes were looking at him with surprise.

What are you doing in front of my sister's room...?

For some reason, her voice trembled slightly.

Mu Zhian remained expressionless, walked to Ye Qian's side, and said with a smile, "Your sister encountered some problems while practicing, so I came here tonight to give her some pointers."

"The strange phenomena of tonight arose from this."

Ye Lingxuan's spiritual energy from nine lifetimes was condensed into the cauldron. After that, she even comprehended a wisp of Daoist essence. Although it is unknown which Daoist essence she ultimately chose, it is easy to imagine that this 'bright moon' at this moment was clearly created because of Ye Lingxuan.

Ye Qian's eyes widened slightly in realization as she murmured to herself, "So that's how it is..."

His words carried a hint of regret, yet also a sense of relief.

On the one hand, she hoped that her older sister and Mu Gege could have more intimate interactions, but on the other hand, she didn't want her sister to leave her too far behind.

However, the thought of her sister possibly being intimate with Brother Mu in the room tonight filled Ye Qian with a complex mix of jealousy and excitement, making her gaze towards Mu Zhi'an complicated.

"Did Brother Mu also visit Princess Yongning today?" Ye Qian suddenly looked up and asked.

"I met her on my way to the library... How does Qian'er even know this?" Mu Zhi'an asked in confusion, thinking to himself, "Could this little girl be following me?"

“I ran into someone from the palace when I went out today, and they happened to mention you,” Ye Qian said.

"Besides the eldest princess, are there other people from the palace who have come?" Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly as he realized his blind spot.

Ye Qian nodded slightly: "He seems to be a companion to the Crown Prince. He seems to be investigating something and asked me some questions."

"The Crown Prince's personal attendant?" Mu Zhi'an murmured to himself.

Then, he quickly connected the matter with what Yan Ruyu had said today about the body of misfortune.

A person's fortune cannot affect the fate of the current dynasty. However, the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty is declining day by day. The current imperial advisor is helpless, and the emperor is obsessed with cultivating Taoism. As the crown prince, he naturally does not want the Great Qian Dynasty to end before he has even become emperor. Therefore, he sent people to secretly investigate the matter of the body of misfortune.

Mu Zhi'an understood slightly, then collected his thoughts, examined the golden light emanating from Ye Qian's skin, and suddenly asked, "By the way, what's with this light on you, Qian'er?"

Ye Qian looked down at the faint glow emanating from her body, then looked up at Mu Zhi'an and said, "Isn't Brother Mu the same?"

“You also have a pink glow about you.”

Mu Zhian was slightly taken aback. He looked down at himself and realized that, without realizing it, he too was emitting a faint pink glow.

No, it's less of a pink and more of a pink with red undertones, and red with a hint of black...

"This is probably just luck."

Just then, a slightly familiar and pleasant voice suddenly came from not far behind him, and Mu Zhian turned his head to look.

She wore a long black dress, tied at the waist with a thin black ribbon, and her hair was naturally draped down, ending at her slender white calves with a white ribbon tied at the back.

Her entire outfit consisted of only black and white, but the black fabric made her skin appear exceptionally white.

My future aunt was also alerted... Mu Zhian laughed and said, "Sister Siyu, why are you out here too?"

Ye Siyu narrowed her beautiful eyes, walked over with her hands behind her back, and chuckled, "Why do you sound so disappointed? Did I interrupt your good time?"

Despite having such a close relationship with Lingxuan, she still went after Lingxuan's sister... This guy is indeed a bad guy, just as I guessed... Although she was smiling, there was a hint of danger in her smile.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled: "How could that be? Although it was unexpected to see Sister Siyu here, I'm actually quite happy."

Ye Siyu gazed at Mu Zhian with a wistful look, while Mu Zhian met her gaze calmly.

After a moment, Ye Siyu snorted and said indifferently, "I'll let you off this time, but don't let me catch you doing anything wrong next time, or I'll tell my sister directly."

"If she knew her daughter's lover was fickle, hmph..."

The Ascension Ceremony wasn't the main point of her visit to the Liangyi Sect. The real focus was on conducting an on-site investigation of Mu Zhi'an and then reporting the facts to her older sister.

Mu Zhian sighed helplessly, "Sister Siyu has a rather deep misunderstanding of me."

Just when I was finally about to win over Lingxuan and Qian'er, another aunt appeared... It seems I'll have to avoid getting too close to Qian'er while I'm in this villa...

If you want to be intimate, go outside...

"Sister Siyu, do you know where the light emanating from us comes from?" Mu Zhian changed the subject.

Only then did he notice that not only Mu Zhian and Ye Qian, but also Ye Siyu had a similar pale golden light.

Although this aunt's cultivation level is not high, she has been sealed since ancient times, so she has seen more of the world than them. Perhaps she knows what's going on.

"Luck," Ye Siyu revealed the truth.

Then, she glanced at Mu Zhi'an again, her slender fingers resting on her snow-white chin, tilting her head to examine Mu Zhi'an: "But why does your luck seem so strange...?"

“I’d like to know too…” Mu Zhian complained.

Then, he looked Ye Siyu up and down again and said, "You say this is luck? But why is it manifesting in this way?"

"It's probably related to that thing in the sky," Ye Siyu said, pointing to the bright moon under the night sky.

"What is that...?" Mu Zhian asked, not understanding.

“The Way,” Ye Siyu said.

"The Way of Heaven, the Way of Man, the Way of Earth—each of these Ways produces extraordinary phenomena when it is comprehended. This time, it's likely that someone in the Glazed Palace comprehended a wisp of the Way, thus triggering a reaction from the Way. This Way will disappear in a while."

"Before the Dao disappears, a cultivator's fortune has nowhere to hide and will be revealed in this way."

At this point, Ye Siyu's eyes lit up with a hint of amusement: "However, it seems that the person who comprehended the Dao this time is in the Glazed Palace. I think this Ascension Ceremony will be more interesting than I imagined."

Just how strong a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm who has grasped a wisp of Daoist essence will be remains unknown.

However, we should be able to see it at this Ascension Ceremony.

"You'll find it even more interesting when you discover that the one who comprehended the Dao is Sister Lingxuan..." Mu Zhi'an thought to himself.

At that moment, something seemed to come to mind. He looked up at Ye Siyu and suddenly asked, "Sister Siyu just said that no amount of luck can hide?"

Ye Siyu nodded slightly: "This is quite a wide-range immortal technique. Apart from those powerful beings, other cultivators cannot shield themselves from this immortal technique, and their fortune will be directly reflected in the cultivators."

"If the bad luck is too extreme, it might even be punished by the heavens."

"What's wrong?" Ye Siyu suddenly noticed that Mu Zhian's expression was a little strange, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled, "After Lingxuan comes out, tell her that I have some things to do and I have to go back first. Tell her that she doesn't need to see me off. I will go to see her in the next couple of days."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of Dexinyuan.

Ye Siyu tilted her head slightly, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Ye Qian watched Mu Zhian's hurried departure, a hint of worry creeping into her eyes.

This was the first time she had ever seen Mu Zhian so anxious.

……

Tianhe Garden.

Lan Mulian floated down from mid-air and arrived in front of Tianhe Garden.

She also had a faint golden glow on her body, which was the manifestation of her destiny.

Her gaze swept across the villa and soon she saw the yellow-clad maid standing quietly in the darkness, emanating an astonishing black mist.

“He hasn’t returned to Tianhe Garden yet tonight. You’ve come to the wrong place,” Wei Mengrou said.

Lan Mulian's eyes showed a thoughtful look as she murmured to herself, "It seems that the unusual celestial phenomena tonight are indeed related to him?"

Mu Zhian's constitution is rather special, and he has caused quite a stir in the past, so Lan Mulian had some guesses about him before she came.

She quickly gathered her thoughts and gazed tenderly at Wei Mengrou. The maid's beautiful face was now almost shrouded in black mist, her snow-white skin tinged with a deep, dark black.

Even the long, white legs beneath the yellow dress were shrouded in a deep, dark light.

"What's going on with your luck? It seems to be even more exaggerated than before?" Lan Mulian hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but take a closer look at Wei Mengrou.

Wei Mengrou gently shook her head: "I'm not too sure either, but it doesn't really matter, so it's okay."

Although he said that, there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.

She should have had some of her bad luck suppressed after obtaining the bronze fragment, but judging from tonight's situation, it seems that her bad luck has returned on its own.

Although it doesn't affect daily life in any way, it still makes people feel a little uneasy.

At this moment, Wei Mengrou suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up towards the outside of Tianhe Garden.

"What's wrong?" Lan Mulian asked.

“It looks like an outsider wants to come in. Senior Sister Lan, please have a seat. I’ll go check on them,” Wei Mengrou said.

The Tianhe Garden is protected by a formation. Apart from a select few, no one else can enter unless they forcibly break through the formation.

Clearly, this outsider is someone who has never been to Tianhe Garden before.

Thinking of this, Wei Mengrou walked gracefully outside Tianhe Garden.

What came into view was a rather sharp and mean-spirited face. The young man had a hint of excitement on his face and pointed at Wei Mengrou as if he were asking for credit, saying, "Grand Tutor, see, I told you I was right, her luck is completely different from ordinary bad luck!"

Beside the young man, the old man known as the Grand Tutor stared at Wei Mengrou with his cloudy eyes. After a while, a meaningful look appeared in his eyes.

"Such bad luck is indeed quite unusual."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but take another look at the black light emanating from Wei Mengrou.

The way she was being looked at, as if she were some rare creature, made Wei Mengrou's eyes grow cold. She asked, "Who are you two?"

Upon hearing this, the old man smiled gently and said, "Young friend, I am the Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince, and I have come here for the sake of the nation's destiny."
