It turns out, they were the main characters.

Moreover, since the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the World Sea will come to the Eastern Continent, and according to their previous statements... the Primordial Witch is very likely in the Eastern Continent.

A thoughtful look appeared in Mu Zhian's eyes.

At this moment, Gong Lianyue suddenly changed the subject, her gaze softening as she looked at Mu Zhian, and said gently, "More than that, do you remember what you promised me before, Mu Lang?"

Mu Zhian's heart skipped a beat, and her thoughts returned to reality.

"You told me before that after you return to the sect, you would stay away from those messy women around you, right?" Gong Lianyue scrutinized Yao Meng, the tenderness in her eyes turning into indifference.

"If you are kind-hearted and unwilling to hurt others' feelings by speaking out, I can also do that for you and clear away those unnecessary relationships to avoid causing you trouble in the future."

"For example, there's this Fairy Yao Meng who claims to be your Daoist partner."

The criticism was directed at Yao Meng, but the Azure Emperor, who had lived through countless lifetimes, remained calm and composed. Her demeanor was ethereal and otherworldly, and a gentle smile curved her lips as she said, "My relationship with him is none of anyone else's business."

“If it were Miss Bai, that would be one thing, since she and Mu Lang are indeed Daoist partners. However, you are just an outsider who has only recently come into contact with him,” Yao Meng said calmly.

Gong Lianyue narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and chuckled, "So, you also know that you've wronged my sword sheath?"

“A cultivator doesn’t necessarily have only one partner, and besides, it was this child who pursued me first.” Yao Meng glanced at Mu Zhi’an casually, lingering on his handsome face for a moment, a smile playing on her lips.

"Besides, I already tried to make it up to Miss Bai."

That Heaven-Mending Pill, and even the Enlightenment Seed, were all used by Yao Meng to compensate Bai Ruoxi.

Regardless, she did indeed sleep with someone's Daoist partner. Although it was consensual, Yao Meng still felt somewhat apologetic towards Bai Ruoxi... Of course, she felt more excited than anything else.

At this moment, Yao Meng changed the subject and said with a faint smile, "However, Miss Bai is Miss Bai, and you are you. Although you are the same person, you are two different consciousnesses."

"In the end, you're still a bit lacking when it comes to making decisions on behalf of Miss Bai."

Gong Lianyue narrowed her eyes: "You mean...?"

"If you didn't understand, I can summarize it in simpler terms."

Yao Meng smiled and said, "Simply put..."

"You do not deserve."

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly froze.

The winter wind and snow did not make Mu Zhian feel the cold, but at this moment he felt a bone-chilling cold from the two of them.

Gong Lianyue sneered: "If Fairy Yao Meng thinks I'm not qualified, then fine, let him make the decision himself and see if I'm qualified to make the decision for him."

Yao Meng smiled gently, exuding confidence, her beautiful, clear green eyes gazing tenderly at Mu Zhi'an.

Can't you just let me be a nobody in peace?! Mu Zhian's eyelids twitched wildly, and the little soul inside her seemed to be roaring.

He looked straight ahead and said, "Seniors, I am a free man, so..."

Yao Meng said softly, "You didn't say that when you were with me before."

"You said that my body and soul belong to the fairy sister."

Her gaze remained gentle, but a hint of danger had crept into the depths of her eyes.

"These words sound familiar. How many other women have you said them to?" Gong Lianyue sneered, staring at Mu Zhian.

He was weighing in his mind whether he should bring Mu Zhian back to the Sword Palace after the Ascension Ceremony ended.

The Sword Palace is rich in resources, and with her personal guidance, Mu Zhian's future cultivation will be smooth sailing, and he will also avoid having too many unnecessary contacts with other women.

Mu Zhian's heart was racing, and the two men's stares made her scalp tingle.

No matter how cunning and resourceful Young Master Mu was, he couldn't use any particularly effective methods against the strongest being in the world.

While a heated argument was taking place on one side, Wei Mengrou was already quietly sitting on a tea chair, drinking hot tea and watching her young master perform how to handle emotional issues.

It must be said that although she has been quietly serving as a maid by Mu Zhian's side for many years, Wei Mengrou is an exceptionally beautiful woman no matter how you look at her. Her curvaceous figure, accentuated by her pale yellow dress, and her pretty and beautiful cold face, all perfectly highlight her aloof and mature temperament.

She gazed quietly at Mu Zhi'an, holding a cup of hot tea in both hands. When she noticed Mu Zhi'an's pleading look, a slight smile of pleasure appeared on her lips.

The maid only wanted to be a bystander and enjoy the show.

However, at this moment, the image of kissing Mu Zhi'an earlier flashed through her mind for no reason, along with his face so close to hers, and the intimate act of kissing Mu Zhi'an on her own initiative not long ago.

When Wei Mengrou saw Mu Zhian's gaze again, she recoiled as if electrocuted, lowered her eyes slightly, and looked at the teacup in her hand.

The tea reflected a beautiful, cold face, but as a gust of cold wind swept by, ripples spread across the tea, and the next moment, the tea reflected a strange beauty.

She was dressed in a long black robe, with a hood covering most of her face. Her pale, sickly complexion made the already delicate beauty appear even more pitiful.

The beautiful woman seemed to know that someone was watching her, and she slightly raised her head, her soft and beautiful eyes hidden under her hood looking at her.

Wei Mengrou's fingers trembled slightly, and she subconsciously released the teacup.

Snapped!

The teacup shattered on the ground, spilling tea everywhere. The shards of the teacup flew out and crashed straight into the stone pillars of the pavilion.

Mu Zhian subconsciously looked at Wei Mengrou, only to see the proud, swan-like maid looking down at the tea on the ground, her eyes gleaming with doubt.

"Sister Mengrou, what's wrong?" Mu Zhian asked with concern.

Wei Mengrou snapped out of her thoughts and slowly shook her head, saying, "It's nothing... I'm probably a little tired. I want to rest for a bit."

She raised her hand to gather the shards of the teacup together, then buried them in the ground before getting up and leaving the pavilion.

Mu Zhian gazed in the direction Wei Mengrou had left, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Then, he glanced casually at the beauty in the dark black palace dress beside him, and after a brief hesitation, decided to take a gamble!

He mustered his courage and transmitted his voice, "Palace Master, I will give you an explanation for what you said earlier, but I have other matters to attend to right now, so I may have to leave first..."

Gong Lianyue gazed at Mu Zhian with a smile in her eyes: "Why don't you say these words openly, instead of sending them to me through telepathy?"

If I were to say this outright, Yao Meng would eat me alive tonight… Mu Zhian transmitted his voice, “The fairy has been kind to me in the past, and the palace master has also given me and Ruoxi a lot of help. If possible, I hope that you can get along harmoniously.”

"As long as you keep her away from you in the future, you can naturally get along harmoniously," Gong Lianyue replied calmly.

Mu Zhi'an gave a helpless bitter smile and said, "The Palace Master should know that my relationship with the fairy is complicated, and it's unrealistic to try to sever ties in a short time..."

"I'll give you another month. If you're still entangled with her after you wake up next time, I'll take charge and make sure you sever ties with her, then I'll take you back to the Sword Palace to cultivate with me in peace," Gong Lianyue said.

Before the sword sheath reaches the Void Returning Realm and comprehends a wisp of Daoist essence, she cannot maintain her original form for too long. Otherwise, she would have torn this Azure Emperor apart today no matter what.

Mu Zhian breathed a slight sigh of relief. He wanted to communicate with Yao Meng again, but as soon as his gaze drifted over, he saw Yao Meng looking at him with a half-smile. Her eyes seemed to hold a deep, cold glint of mockery, as if to say: You're quite bold, aren't you? Sending a message in front of me.

Then, a clear and melodious celestial voice reached Mu Zhian's ears.

"Wait for me in the room tonight."

Yao Meng glanced at him sideways, still as aloof as a goddess from the heavens, but a hint of allure seemed to emanate from her eyes.

"I have some things I'd like to discuss with you more tonight."

……

Wei Mengrou sat cross-legged on the soft couch, slowly closed her eyes, held her breath and concentrated, about to enter a meditative state.

At that moment, she seemed to suddenly realize something and said coldly, "Why are you here? Aren't you afraid of being locked up and given a good talking-to if someone notices?"

She opened her eyes and gazed in the direction of the window.

Mu Zhian climbed in through the window and, under Wei Mengrou's icy gaze, smiled and said, "I told Yao Meng and the others that I wanted to come over and check on your situation first."

Wei Mengrou raised an eyebrow slightly, a mocking smile curving her lips: "They'll agree?"

It's quite surprising that they didn't lock their young master in a dark room...

Mu Zhian almost couldn't maintain his smile.

This maid really knows how to rub salt into his wounds.

"I risked it in the end to communicate with them separately, promising to give them an explanation later," Mu Zhian said with a shake of his head and a sigh.

The most important thing is that Gong Lianyue's awakening this time was caused by the primordial witch, but her consciousness cannot occupy Bai Ruoxi's body for too long.

If Miss Bai were to comprehend a wisp of Daoist essence and advance to the Void Returning Realm, Gong Lianyue would not be subject to such restrictions.

If that's the case, this matter today probably won't end so easily.

Even in this situation, he had to use a lot of words, and he still had to personally comfort the fairy tonight...

"So what brings you here?" Wei Mengrou looked up at her young master and asked.

"I sensed you weren't feeling well, so I came to check on you," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Under Wei Mengrou's gaze, he sat down on the soft couch by himself.

"When Sister Mengrou was possessed by the obsession of the Primordial Witch, did you feel anything?" Mu Zhian asked.

Wei Mengrou hesitated for a moment, then gently shook her head: "I don't feel anything. I don't remember what I did before, I just have some vague impressions... It feels like I had a dream."

As she spoke, the mysterious figure she had just seen in the tea inexplicably came to mind again, and her slender hands unconsciously crossed together.

She glanced at Mu Zhian again, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."

In a sense, Mu Zhian's being 'tortured' by the two empresses today is partly due to her own efforts.

After all, Gong Lianyue was awakened by the aura of the Primordial Witch, and it was Wei Mengrou who awakened the Primordial Witch's obsession.

"If kissing is considered troublesome, please be sure to go all out next time," Mu Zhian said solemnly.

Wei Mengrou glanced at Mu Zhian.

Gazing at the boy on the soft couch and the concern in his eyes, Wei Mengrou hesitated briefly before inadvertently looking away.

"This is so unlike you—"

Before she finished speaking, Wei Mengrou glanced lightly at the hand resting on her slightly cool, slender hand, and looked at him silently.

"What are you doing?" Wei Mengrou asked.

"I just wanted to comfort you," Mu Zhian said.

Wei Mengrou said "Oh," then glanced at the doorway and suddenly asked, "Senior Qingdi, what brings you here?"

“Sister Mengrou, our relationship may seem like that of master and servant, but it’s more like that of siblings. I’ve always considered you my older sister, so this isn’t appropriate for us.” Mu Zhian withdrew his hand.

Then I glanced at it casually.

"..."

The entrance was empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.

Wei Mengrou glanced at him disdainfully and said coldly, "Since it's just simple comfort, why worry about being discovered?"
