It turns out, they were the main characters.

Yu Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly. She raised her hand and made a hand seal, using the Dao Peak secret technique to take another look.

This glance startled Yu Ziyan, and her expression quickly changed slightly. She subconsciously took a half-step back.

There's something strange about this white light!

"What's wrong with Senior Sister?" Yu Xuanji immediately noticed the abnormality of her senior sister and asked.

"This white light seems to have its own consciousness, as if it is searching for something in our sect." Yu Ziyan suppressed the palpitations in her heart and stared intently at the soft white light.

If I had to describe it, the first time I saw that white light, it felt like I was in a paradise.

When Yu Ziyan used her secret technique to spy again, she felt a chilling sensation, as if she had suddenly transformed from a paradise into a village of the dead.

Upon hearing this, the chief ministers all looked up and gazed at the sky.

After a brief silence, the group exchanged glances, all seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Just as Yu Ziyan said, this thing seems to have some kind of consciousness and is currently searching for something within the sect!

But what exactly is it looking for?

The answer is obvious; it must be related to the person who caused this unusual celestial phenomenon tonight.

Thinking of this, for some reason, the gazes of the female leaders all fell on the direction of the Glazed Palace at almost the same time.

Tonight, many people are speculating about who caused such a commotion, but no one knows the answer.

Only a few of the female leaders, more or less, guessed the answer.

This matter is probably related to Mu Zhian.

To be precise, it's related to the person who had close contact with Mu Zhian tonight.

It's necessary to go and see the Glazed Palace... Yu Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly, and a clue gradually emerged in her mind.

……

Dexinyuan.

After returning to the villa, Ye Lingxuan, dressed in a white robe, sat on the bed and meditated for an hour. When her mental state had almost recovered, she opened her eyes and lazily stretched.

Although it was winter, there was a charcoal fire burning in the room, and the cultivators themselves had the ability to withstand the cold, so they did not feel cold at all.

Wearing only a thin undergarment, her raised arm perfectly accentuated the rounded curve of her chest. In terms of size alone, Ye Lingxuan was quite well-endowed, but compared to Nai Xi, she appeared somewhat lacking.

When she stretches, the dimples on her waist become very noticeable, making her look especially sexy and charming.

She looked towards the door, as if sensing something, and asked, "Who's outside?"

The door was quietly pushed open, and Ye Qian, dressed in a traditional Chinese jacket and a knee-length skirt, stood at the doorway, secretly peeking at her sister inside.

Will it bother my sister?

Ye Lingxuan shook her head and smiled, "It's cold outside, come inside."

Ye Qian walked into the room and then closed the door.

"Why are you coming to my room so late today? Is there something you need?" Ye Lingxuan asked with a smile as Ye Qian sat down by the bed.

Ye Qian looked at Ye Lingxuan with a complicated expression and whispered, "Did Brother Mu come to my sister's place tonight?"

Ye Lingxuan's smile gradually faded, and after a while, under her sister's unblinking gaze, she sighed softly and nodded gently.

"So, the one who comprehended a trace of the Dao tonight was indeed my sister?" For some reason, Ye Qian seemed relieved after hearing Ye Lingxuan's answer.

Ye Lingxuan was taken aback at first, then said with a hint of apology, "You're not angry with me?"

Ye Qian gently shook her head: "Didn't I already tell my sister that I'm very excited to see her and Brother Mu together..."

She coughed lightly and said, "I'm happy to see you all together."

Ye Lingxuan gave her younger sister a strange look. From her appearance, her posture was well-behaved and her temperament was pure and charming. Judging from her appearance alone, probably no one would have thought that this younger sister Qian'er would have such a strange hobby.

However, this only applies to her own sister... This is one of the few sources of psychological comfort for Ye Lingxuan.

"Don't tell Siyu about this, I'm worried she'll go back and secretly tell on me," Ye Lingxuan suddenly said using telepathy.

Ye Siyu clearly had some issues with Mu Zhian, so before that Sister Siyu changed her mind, she naturally had to be careful and 'prevent trouble' from her.

After Ye Qian nodded in agreement, she suddenly asked curiously, "When I came to see my sister tonight, was Brother Mu in her room?"

As she spoke, her bright eyes gazed at Ye Lingxuan, filled with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

Ye Lingxuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded reservedly.

Ye Qianqing's innocent face showed a look of sudden realization, as if she had expected it. Her mind was racing as she stared intently at her sister, seemingly thinking about something, her eyes sparkling.

Ye Lingxuan blushed slightly and tried to divert her sister's attention by saying, "Your inheritance is over too, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qian shifted her attention away from her sister and nodded slightly.

Then, after a moment's hesitation, she took out a paper crane from her bosom: "Sister, actually, I received a paper crane that seemed to have flown from Liangyi Peak..."

Ye Lingxuan was slightly taken aback, as if she had thought of something, and a strange look suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Could it be... that Qian'er received it too?

Under Ye Lingxuan's strange gaze, she indeed saw her sister take out a paper crane, and after unfolding it, the contents of the paper crane appeared in her field of vision.

Sure enough, the contents were the same as the paper crane she had received before.

Thinking of this, Ye Lingxuan silently took out a paper crane and unfolded it.

The two sisters looked at each other in silence.

Ye Qian hesitated for a few seconds before breaking the silence: "What exactly does the Sect Master want to do?"

"It seems that it's not just us; Sister Ruoxi and the others probably received paper cranes as well."

Ye Lingxuan maintained her reserved and elegant demeanor, and said thoughtfully, "No matter what, as long as we win the Ascension Tournament in the end, even if we bring him back to the forbidden zone, no one else will have anything to say, right?"

Ye Qian looked at her sister in shock.

"Is your sister confident she can win?"

What if someone else wins in the end and takes Mu Zhi'an away, and you never see him again...?

"Whether it's Sister Ruoxi or the others, they're all quite difficult to deal with," Ye Lingxuan said calmly. "But I will win."

Her tone was full of self-confidence, as if she were saying something ordinary.

That's true. Ye Lingxuan has already grasped a wisp of Daoist essence, and her combat power far surpasses that of a normal Refining Spirit Realm cultivator. No wonder she has such confidence.

Ye Qian thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Brother Mu will be the finalist in the Ascension Tournament. Are you confident you can defeat him, Sister?"

"Even if it's him, I won't show any mercy." Ye Lingxuan snorted.

Despite begging for mercy several times after being suppressed by Mu Zhian tonight, the Holy Maiden of the Forbidden Zone is naturally not afraid of any enemy in terms of strength alone.

Once we win the Ascension Tournament, we'll have Brother Mu move to Dexin Garden in the future.

As Ye Lingxuan was pondering this, she suddenly saw a faint golden light flickering in the room, and then a woman dressed in a loose black robe, with a beautiful and elegant appearance, silently appeared in the room.

Compared to the two young girls in their prime, Yu Ziyan preferred the elegant and sophisticated mature woman. Even though she was slightly frowning and looking a little serious tonight because of something, she still couldn't hide the charm in her eyes.

"Master?" Ye Qian blurted out.

Yu Ziyan smiled gently and said, "It's so late, I hope I haven't disturbed your cultivation?"

Ye Qian shook her head, sat obediently, and took her sister's arm, saying, "My sister and I are talking about Brother Mu."

"Mu Zhian?" Yu Ziyan's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

At this moment, Ye Lingxuan placed one hand on the back of Ye Qian's hand without making a sound, and looked up at the Dao Peak Chief, who was in a full and plump stage and needed frequent irrigation.

"Master, you must have something important to discuss with us so late at night."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ziyan's gentle smile faded slightly, and she said, "I did come to see you today because I have something I want to ask you."

At this point, her gaze fell directly on Ye Lingxuan, and she said, "You've grasped a wisp of the Dao?"

Upon hearing that her master had asked this question, a hint of shyness flashed across Ye Lingxuan's eyes, but she still nodded gently.

"Is it the Way of Heaven, the Way of Earth, or the Way of Humanity?" Yu Ziyan asked again, this time with much more seriousness.

Ye Lingxuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "The Way of Heaven."

“However, it seems to differ from the Way of Heaven,” she continued.

During her dual cultivation with Mu Zhian tonight, she realized that if she chose the Heavenly Path, she would be subject to its control to a certain extent. Therefore, Ye Lingxuan later gave up the choice of the Heavenly Path and planned to follow the 'Human Path' or the 'Earth Path' even if she were to merge with the Dao in the future.

However, after abandoning the Heavenly Way, she discovered a new Heavenly Way.

That Heavenly Dao was very special, different from the original Heavenly Dao. It gave people a very friendly feeling, and it did not supersede cultivators.

As soon as Ye Lingxuan finished speaking, Yu Ziyan immediately reached out and grabbed her disciple's wrist. Daofeng's secret techniques have unique insights into the principles of 'nature,' and in a sense, they are somewhat similar to innate spiritual bodies.

Therefore, after Ye Lingxuan relaxed, Yu Ziyan's spiritual sense quickly swept over Ye Lingxuan's body and, as if sensing something, gazed at the girl and murmured, "I understand..."

Previously, Mu Zhian had asked her to help find the reason for Wei Mengrou's bad luck, but Yu Ziyan had been troubled by this and had no clue.

However, the ray of white light in the sky tonight gave this Dao Peak leader a very important clue.

Wei Mengrou's bad luck is so extreme that even if you searched the entire sect... no, even if you searched the entire Nine Provinces, you couldn't find another person with more outrageous bad luck than her.

But what if Wei Mengrou's extremely bad luck wasn't something she was born with?

……

Back at Tianhe Garden, Mu Zhian was a little worried because of Wei Mengrou's bad luck that night. So he spoke to Bai Da Meiren first, saying, "Ruoxi, I'll take Sister Mengrou back to her room first, and then I'll come find you later."

Bai Ruoxi raised her beautiful face, showing great understanding, and said, "Mulang, you should go first."

Because it was Wei Mengrou, Bai Ruoxi could feel at ease and didn't have to worry that Mu Zhian would encounter something like "The Training and Management of Maids" after going to Wei Mengrou's room.

Mu Zhian took Wei Mengrou back to her room, and then couldn't help but glance at the maid a few more times.

Perhaps because the white light from tonight had not yet dissipated, the dark aura emanating from Wei Mengrou had also not disappeared. The beauty in the pale yellow dress seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black mist, and she did not utter a single word.

"Do you feel any discomfort or anything?" Mu Zhian asked.

Wei Mengrou glanced at her, her clear eyes, like a deep autumn pool, revealing her usual calmness. She gently shook her head: "It's nothing."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

“I’m not in a hurry. Since Sister Mengrou isn’t resting anyway, why don’t we sit down and chat?” Mu Zhian said with a smile, and then sat down in the chair in a very natural and generous manner.

Then, he casually glanced at the books on the table.
