It turns out, they were the main characters.

……

Outside of the Two Elements Sect.

Bai Ruoxi flew towards the Liangyi Sect's mountain gate, transforming into a streak of light on her sword.

Not far behind Bai Ruoxi, a young girl followed closely behind. Her light blue jacket and sky-blue skirt fluttered gently in the wind, revealing a small section of her snow-white calves. Her tender white feet were covered with snow-white socks, and she wore a pair of light-colored boots.

The ribbon outlines her slender waist and perfectly accentuates the girl's already developed breasts.

The two of them didn't say much along the way, because they were worried about Mu Zhian's situation, so they focused more on traveling.

At this moment, many disciples of the Liangyi Sect are chatting about the upcoming martial arts assessment.

As Bai Ruoxi and Ye Qian passed by, many senior brothers and sisters noticed this scene. Then, someone exclaimed in surprise, "Look, some people have already returned to the Liangyi Sect ahead of time?"

For a moment, many people looked up, and when they saw the two slender figures, they couldn't help but start discussing it.

"This martial arts assessment was brutal. The Holy Son of the Southern Wilderness, the geniuses of the Western Regions, and even several prodigies from the Eastern Continent were eliminated. I never expected that even Junior Sister Bai and Junior Sister Qian'er would be eliminated..."

"Perhaps they returned to the sect after passing the martial arts assessment?" The third senior sister of Canghai Peak looked up at the two figures in the distance and continued:

"If I remember correctly, didn't Junior Brother Mu rush back to the sect not long ago? It seems something happened. Could Junior Sister Bai and the others have rushed back to the sect because of this?"

The mere mention of this matter immediately sparked an even louder discussion among the crowd.

"This junior priest is truly ruthless. He hurts others and himself. One lightning tribulation sent twenty of the most promising talents to their deaths. However, judging from his condition, he must have developed some health problems as well."

"The sect leader's jade slip can withstand one serious injury, but if the tribulation is failed, it will still bring some side effects to my junior brother."

For a time, some sect disciples felt a little more sympathy for Mu Zhian.

He wasted his chance to undergo tribulation for the sake of the martial arts assessment, and even ruined himself... It's not worth it at all.

If one fails to transcend the tribulation, the consequences range from a lower rank to complete annihilation. Even with the protection of the jade slip, one can only save one's life, but not one's cultivation level.

"He was too impulsive," someone said.

"It's said that his maid was attacked, which is why the younger brother Mu acted so violently. Regardless of the outcome, I think it would be very reassuring to have a Daoist partner like that." A senior sister immediately spoke up to refute this, standing on Mu Zhi'an's side.

Among these sect disciples were several elders from various parts of the Nine Provinces. After hearing the sect disciples' discussion, each of them couldn't help but frown secretly, worried that their side might have been killed in the lightning tribulation caused by Mu Zhi'an.

The Ascension Tournament is of utmost importance. Even if you don't get first place, making it into the top ten is still a way to show your strength to other families. It would be ridiculous if you didn't even pass the Martial World Assessment.

While the martial arts assessment was still being discussed, Mu Zhian was inside the room admiring the graceful figure of the maid, and inwardly sighed with admiration.

It's a pity I didn't get to meet Fairy Yao Yue in the martial arts world this time, otherwise I could have asked her for some more Nirvana Silk. Stockings made from Nirvana Silk are practically indistinguishable from smooth skin.

Mu Zhian raised his head slightly and looked at the ceiling, feeling as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

This is not an exaggeration, because in the past, he never thought that Wei Mengrou would be willing to use those smooth and tender thighs that he had long coveted to sort out the spiritual energy in his innate furnace.

Whether it's the feel of her skin through the stockings or the sweet fragrance emanating from Wei Mengrou, everything about her seems to possess endless charm at this moment.

Gazing at Wei Mengrou's exquisitely beautiful face with a slight blush, Mu Zhian was momentarily captivated.

"Didn't I tell you to close your eyes?" Wei Mengrou gave him a long, meaningful look.

"Sister Mengrou is so beautiful, I think I'm captivated by you." Mu Zhian raised his hand to stroke Wei Mengrou's delicate face, which was flushed with a faint blush, and combed her hair as he spoke softly.

"You've said that to quite a few people, haven't you?" Wei Mengrou glanced at him sideways, clearly not believing him.

Even the maid's disdainful gaze seemed to stimulate Mu Zhian's nerves, making him excited.

Mengrou is definitely the best!

Mu Zhian remained calm and shook his head: "I swear, I've only ever said that to you."

Wei Mengrou's charm is different from others. Her cold attitude towards her young master in the past and the love she shows now create a huge contrast that no one else has. This is one of the reasons why Mu Zhian is so moved at this moment.

Wei Mengrou scoffed and gave Mu Zhian a disdainful look.

Mu Zhian did not offer any further explanation. He placed one hand on Wei Mengrou's shoulder, leaned down slightly, and kissed Wei Mengrou's jade-like neck and pretty face before taking her lips again.

Wei Mengrou's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she clearly didn't feel very comfortable.

A moment later, Mu Zhian released his lips, gazing at Wei Mengrou's flawless face so close to his, feeling the softness of her body, and was about to say something more.

At this moment, his innate spiritual body suddenly began to frantically sound alarms, and he felt waves of palpitations deep within his body.

Wei Mengrou clearly sensed something, and tilted her head slightly, subconsciously looking up towards the door.

Someone stepped into Tianhe Garden.

Logically speaking, Tianhe Garden is set up with a special formation, and it would not be possible for a stranger to set foot in it so easily.

In other words, this should be someone you know.

However, before they had much time to think, Bai Ruoxi's soft and melodious voice suddenly came from outside the door behind Mu Zhian.

"Mulang, are you in Sister Mengrou's room?"

Holy crap?!

Mu Zhian's heart pounded wildly, and with Wei Mengrou's small hand still tightly clenched, he almost lost control and sent all the spiritual energy in the innate furnace out of his body.

A hint of panic flashed in Wei Mengrou's eyes as she immediately activated her concealment ability.

Seeing that there was no response, Bai Ruoxi tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt.

He then gently raised his hand, intending to push open the door in front of him.

"Ruo, Ruoxi, why are you back so soon?" Mu Zhian tried his best to remain calm and reassure Bai Ruoxi.

In his arms, Wei Mengrou's heart beat faster than ever before.

In the past, Bai Ruoxi and others regarded Wei Mengrou as their 'older sister' and respected her greatly. This was partly because she had been silently protecting Mu Zhian, and partly because she never interfered in her master's love affairs.

If this scene were seen, especially since they were actually helping Mu Zhian to cultivate spiritual energy... just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm going to die.

"Qian'er and I were the first to get ten points, so we passed the martial arts assessment first." Bai Ruoxi's gentle and melodious voice came from outside the door.

Then, she hesitated and said, "Are you alright, Mulang? Your voice sounds a little strange..."

Mu Zhian glanced at Wei Mengrou and said, "Well, I'm fine... I'm just about to meditate and extract the Heavenly Dao Qi. I probably used a lot of spiritual energy just now, so I sound a little weak."

As Wei Mengrou listened to their conversation, her heart pounded, but the warmth in Mu Zhi'an's arms gave her a sense of peace. She subconsciously looked up at Mu Zhi'an.

He was also staring at her, but he was clearly distracted, his attention completely focused on Bai Ruoxi outside the house.

Wei Mengrou pursed her lips slightly.

For some reason, besides feeling nervous and guilty towards Bai Ruoxi, there seemed to be another special emotion swirling in his heart.

That was a special emotion called 'pleasure'.

She brought her thighs together slightly, and in that instant, Mu Zhian's body suddenly jolted, and she almost cried out in surprise.

But at that moment, Wei Mengrou immediately raised her hand to cover his mouth, lifted her eyelids to stare at him, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of disdain, as if to say: Your Daoist partner is outside wanting to see you, but you are in the room being intimate with your maid... What a fickle man.

"Is Sister Mengrou trying to kill me...?" Mu Zhian suppressed his excitement and tried to speak in a calm tone: "By the way, Ruoxi, I may need to take a medicinal bath later. Can you help me prepare it?"

Bai Ruoxi, standing outside, looked up thoughtfully at the closed door and said, "I understand. I'll go prepare now."

As Bai Ruoxi's soft footsteps faded into the distance, Mu Zhian finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That was close."

Fortunately, the person she shared a room with was Wei Mengrou, so Bai Ruoxi didn't think too much about it. If it had been Ye Lingxuan, she might have just broken down the door.

He looked at Wei Mengrou again and said helplessly, "Sister Mengrou, aren't you afraid of being found out?"

If Mu Zhian hadn't reacted quickly, Bai Ruoxi would probably have immediately noticed that Mu Zhian's spiritual energy had been greatly depleted. After all, they had spent countless days and nights together, and Bai Ruoxi naturally knew exactly which of Mu Zhian's spiritual energy came from ordinary cauldrons and which came from natural cauldrons.

"That was because you forced me to do it, it has nothing to do with me," Wei Mengrou said calmly.

"Can I force a cultivator at the peak of the Divine Refinement stage..." Mu Zhian complained.

That's what they say, but it really was Mu Zhian's request this time. However, even Mu Zhian himself didn't expect Wei Mengrou to agree to such a thing.

He had already prepared himself to console himself, even though doing so would be a bit too tragic.

"You can even suppress an Empress who is at the Dao Integration Realm, so what is a peak Refinement God Realm cultivator?" Wei Mengrou said with a hint of sarcasm.

Suppression... Mu Zhian seemed to have a connection to something, and his gaze unconsciously fell on Wei Mengrou again.

Perhaps because of the intimacy just now, her face was flushed with an alluring blush, her eyes were moist, and there were still traces of rouge on her rosy lips, most of which had been slowly savored by someone.

Under Mu Zhian's burning gaze, Wei Mengrou lowered her eyes uncomfortably and said softly, "Alright, can you let go now?"

Mu Zhian then realized what was happening, immediately hummed in agreement, and released his hands from tightly embracing Wei Mengrou's slender waist.

Wei Mengrou gently wiped her small hands with a handkerchief, and then, noticing Mu Zhian's burning gaze, she suppressed her shyness and said, "Focus on guiding the Heavenly Dao Qi out of your body first... Or do you also want to experience the bad luck of the Unlucky Body?"

Although her tone remained indifferent, the slight glint in her beautiful eyes betrayed her inner turmoil.

Mu Zhian grinned and said, "I understand."

He was already satisfied with this outcome.

It's still a bit of a pity, though. If Ruoxi hadn't come back early, they might have been able to play a little longer.

Logically, he should be the one taking the initiative in the relationship, but today it was Wei Mengrou who took the initiative, which is hard to accept.

Next time, we must find a suitable opportunity to suppress Sister Mengrou!

Mu Zhian sat cross-legged in front of the bed, looked up at Wei Mengrou, and suddenly said, "Sister Mengrou, will there be another chance...?"

"This time it's because I'm helping you guide the Heavenly Dao Qi out of your body, don't misunderstand," Wei Mengrou said calmly, though her tone was noticeably gentler than her usual coldness.

She walked to a chair and sat down, gently wiping the remaining 'trash' from her slender fingers with a handkerchief once more.

Then, seeing Mu Zhian's seemingly disappointed expression, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

"However, if it's the master's order... maybe I'll consider it if I'm in a good mood?"

……

Bai Ruoxi walked gracefully along the corridor toward the other rooms.

But as she reached a corner, she paused slightly, turned her head slightly, and looked with suspicion at the closed door behind her.

Why did Sister Mengrou deliberately conceal her presence when I was getting close to the room?

Normally, Bai Ruoxi wouldn't think so much about it, but Wei Mengrou's behavior in the martial arts world this time has raised some concerns...

Why did Sister Mengrou hide her aura just now?

The only possibility is that Sister Mengrou wants to avoid being noticed by someone.

Who could that person be?
