It turns out, they were the main characters.

"It's alright, we can take a look around this villa first, and if all else fails, we can just leave the pills here and go," another head monk said with a smile.

Since the other party had already said all that, Mu Zhian had no choice but to lead the gentle-faced chiefs into the villa.

As they passed a small house, the group quickly noticed the fairy in the green dress standing by the window. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a meaningful look.

The Azure Emperor is indeed here...

At that moment, Bai Xinghe's gaze suddenly froze on another woman in front of the window.

Who is this woman, and why does she also possess such a mysterious aura...?

Mu Zhian glanced at the group without showing any emotion, then looked at the slender figure in blue not far away, and then lowered his voice and said, "Esteemed leaders, please follow me."

Having said that, he was about to walk into the hall when Yao Meng, who was not far away, seemed to have also noticed Mu Zhi'an's presence. She turned her head slightly and looked over, then a faint smile appeared in her beautiful green eyes: "Mu Lang, you're back so soon?"

Mu Zhian felt a chill run down his spine.

The chiefs were stunned for a moment, and when they figured out what had happened, their eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Only now did they finally realize that Mu Zhian's words just now didn't seem to be a polite rejection, but rather...

They really came at the worst possible time.

In fact, prior to this, several chiefs had made some extremely absurd speculations.

For example, could it be that the reason why the Azure Emperor takes such good care of Mu Zhi'an is not simply because he once saved the Azure Emperor...?

However, this guess was too far-fetched, so they didn't want to delve too deeply into it.

However, now... there's no need to guess anymore.

As that melodious voice, as beautiful as heavenly music, resonated in everyone's hearts, the chief ministers appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, their hearts were in turmoil.

No matter how skilled a painter is, they could not possibly depict the exquisite expressions on these people's faces at this moment.

When the chief members heard the title 'Mulang', their faces first showed a moment of stunned silence, followed by disbelief and surprise. Then, they suddenly took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, maintaining their usual composure.

He appears calm and collected on the surface, but is actually panicking inside.

Even they realized that they had come at the wrong time... Qingdi's use of "shepherd" was not meant for others to hear, but was directed at another woman inside the house.

The silver-haired woman inside the house also looked somewhat unfamiliar... at least they didn't really recognize her.

But in short, just as Mu Zhian said, they really did come at the wrong time...

At first, they thought Mu Zhian was politely refusing them, but they never expected that this disciple was genuinely considering their needs.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still. Yi Hao calmed himself down slightly and helplessly transmitted his voice to Mu Zhi'an: "Young friend Mu... you really kept it a secret for a long time."

Mu Zhi'an replied telepathically, "If I were to explain this matter to the chiefs in the past, they probably wouldn't believe what I said."

Upon hearing this, Yi Hao nodded subtly.

That's true. In the past, if someone told them that the Azure Emperor had a Daoist partner, and that she was a Refining Spirit Realm disciple from their sect... they would probably just scold the person for making a joke and being disrespectful to the Azure Emperor.

However, now...

They wouldn't believe it if they heard from anyone else that Mu Zhian and Qingdi were Daoist partners, but hearing it from Qingdi himself... they had no choice but to believe it.

But the problem is, doesn't Mu Zhi'an already have a Daoist partner?

Just as countless question marks flashed through the minds of the chiefs, on the other side, Mu Zhian had slightly composed himself, looked up at Yao Meng, and revealed a warm smile: "The chiefs did not know that Fairy Sister lived here before, so after learning about it today, they wanted to come and see you."

After a slight pause, Mu Zhian continued, "I will first invite the chief guests to rest in the main hall."

Surely this legitimate reason will work? We have guests now, so please don't come to me with your arguments for now. I'll go and entertain the heads of the household first, and then I'll deal with them one by one once my anger has subsided... Mu Zhi'an thought to himself.

"Gentlemen, please follow me." Mu Zhian warmly invited them to take their seats.

However, Yi Hao stood still and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, my Canghai Sect has some important matters to attend to today. I came to Tianhe Garden to repay the kindness of the immortal opportunity that Senior Qingdi bestowed upon me that day."

Mu Zhi'an's heart skipped a beat.

If Mu Zhian had followed him into the hall now, he wouldn't have been the only one caught in the vortex.

however

These old foxes aren't fooled at all...

Yi Hao took out an exquisite small wooden box from his storage ring: "These three are all sixth-grade Qi-replenishing pills, which can greatly improve a cultivator's cultivation progress."

He took out another jade bottle and said with a smile, "This seventh-grade pill can restore some spiritual energy. It may not be of much use to Senior Azure Emperor, but it is a token of my appreciation."

Seeing this, Bai Xing and the others looked at the Canghai Peak leader with a strange expression.

The sixth-grade pills that Yi Hao initially prepared were clearly not the Yuan-replenishing pills. It seems that he made a temporary adjustment after learning about the relationship between Mu Zhi'an and the Azure Emperor.

The ingredients for refining the Yuan-Replenishing Pill are quite rare, but for a powerful figure like the Azure Emperor in the Dao Integration Realm, the Yuan-Replenishing Pill is completely useless... But what about Mu Zhi'an?

The Azure Emperor can't use it, but Mu Zhian can.

Even a powerful expert at the Dao Integration Realm would need a considerable amount of time to gather all the necessary ingredients for this Replenishing Essence Pill and refine it.

At this moment, Bai Xing, who was standing to the side, also revealed a faint smile, despite his usually serious expression.

“When Young Friend Mu last came to the Enforcement Hall, I was still in seclusion. Seeing you today, I can say you are quite a genius. I also witnessed your performance yesterday. If you don’t mind, please accept these two Rank 6 pills.”

He took out a jade bottle from his storage ring, and then a specially made small wooden box. He continued, "I heard that Senior Qingdi's spiritual energy has not fully recovered, so I specially prepared two Heavenly Dragon Vines. They can be refined directly or made into pills for consumption, both of which have remarkable effects."

The gazes of the several chief disciples fell on Bai Xing and the small wooden box in his hand almost instantly, and then they gave this seemingly upright senior brother a strange look.

These Heavenly Dragon Vines were obtained by Bai Xinghe during his training outside the sect before he became the head of the Law Enforcement Hall. They were found in a cave where an ancient powerful being had fallen. Many high-ranking members of the sect had coveted these two Heavenly Dragon Vines, but Bai Xinghe resolutely refused them all.

Under normal circumstances, cultivators can only rely on themselves to overcome tribulations. The Heavenly Dragon Vine cannot help cultivators cheat, but it can protect the cauldron during the tribulation. If the tribulation fails, the Heavenly Dragon Vine can protect the cauldron and prevent its realm from falling.

If Mu Zhian had possessed the Heavenly Dragon Vine back in the Martial World, even if he failed his tribulation, there would have been no side effects.

The head of the Enforcement Hall was incredibly generous, even going all out.

At this moment, the other three chiefs also took out pills or medicinal herbs from their storage rings. Yao Meng remained silent, only glancing at Mu Zhi'an.

This scene was naturally witnessed by the leaders, who were all shrewd and knew what this action meant.

Her gaze clearly indicated that she was looking at Mu Zhi'an's intentions. If Mu Zhi'an shook his head, the Azure Emperor would not accept either the pills or the medicinal herbs.

"You decide for yourself, don't worry about me," Mu Zhian transmitted to Yao Meng.

The pills bestowed by these chief disciples would be extremely valuable and unavailable in the outside world, but for Dao-merging experts, most of these pills and medicinal herbs are of little use.

The chief disciples were naturally aware of this matter, so the pills and medicinal herbs they took out were all usable by Mu Zhian.

If he could refine all these medicinal herbs, he could probably advance two ranks in a short time, because these things were also treasures of the chief disciples. If it weren't for the Azure Emperor, he would never have given them away.

Yao Meng looked at Mu Zhian with a faint smile in her eyes, and her clear, melodious voice gently echoed in front of the hall: "In that case, thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoists. I will find time to visit and express my gratitude another day."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xinghe and the others finally relaxed, exchanged glances, and then bowed with their hands clasped in greeting.

Being able to become involved with the Azure Emperor is itself a stroke of good fortune.

As Mu Zhian watched this scene, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He was so used to being with Yao Meng that he had almost forgotten her true identity, but in reality, she was the Azure Emperor recorded in ancient books... It was only at times like this that he could truly realize this.

After a moment of reflection, watching the first seat members preparing to leave, Mu Zhian quickly noticed a distant gaze from the window and looked over.

The original witch.

"..."

Mu Zhian suddenly realized what was happening.

"Damn it, what am I going to do if you guys just leave like this..." He finally came to his senses, looked up at the chief ministers, and immediately said, "Since you're all here, why don't you sit down, have a cup of tea, and have a chat?"

His original plan was to sit down and chat with the other leaders in the hall for a while, and then take them down one by one after Yao Meng and the Primordial Witch had calmed down.

But if these leaders were to leave like this...

At this moment, Yao Meng spoke calmly: "I will be guiding his cultivation later. Fellow Daoists, if you have nothing else to do, please return first."

Upon hearing this, the chiefs who had been stopped by Mu Zhian gave Mu Zhian a meaningful look. Without further hesitation, they raised their hands in a bow and transformed into streaks of light, leaving Tianhe Garden.

Mu Zhian gazed at this scene and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

He quickly calmed his thoughts, looked up at the sky, and exclaimed, "I have never seen any of the chiefs so concerned about certain matters before. This is truly an eye-opener."

“The path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties. Even those geniuses who were once considered geniuses mostly perished along the way. Those senior disciples are open-minded and will not give up as long as there is a chance to break through the bottleneck,” Yao Meng said calmly.

At this moment, the Primordial Witch, who had remained silent, also spoke softly: "Most of the geniuses of my time have already perished. Even those who have not yet perished are basically hopeless for the rest of their lives and can only wait for their lifespan to pass away at that level."

Mu Zhian revealed a thoughtful and sentimental expression: "The path to immortality is fraught with hardship. Even the most talented genius may be stuck at a certain realm or grade without the support of good fortune, with no hope of breaking through."

"Yes."

The Primordial Witch quietly appeared beside Mu Zhi'an. Under Yao Meng's gaze, she gently took his arm and said in a tender tone, "That's why we should cherish the time we spend together even more, don't you think, Mu Lang?"

When he mentioned the word 'Mulang', he emphasized it even more, as if he was deliberately mimicking Yao Meng's tone just now, and even glanced at her.

However, Yao Meng watched this scene with a smile the whole time, without showing any anger.

Although she outwardly opposed Mu Zhian's intimacy with other girls, if the Primordial Witch's memories were not distorted, the Primordial Witch and Mu Zhian were originally Daoist partners in their previous lives, so there was naturally no need to stop them.

Even without that reason, and even if it were just to maintain her image as a fairy, she would still not be able to stop the Primordial Witch at this moment.

When Mu Zhi'an noticed the primordial witch's soft figure suddenly approaching gently, his heart sank at first. Then, when he realized that the fairy in front of him seemed unmoved, he couldn't help but look up at her, only to find that Yao Meng was looking at him with a faint smile, as if she didn't mind at all.

This scene not only made Mu Zhian suspicious, but even the Primordial Witch's eyes, hidden under her hood, held a hint of doubt.

He was still mocking her, but after she launched the first attack, the Azure Emperor didn't react at all...?

Despite her thoughts, the Primordial Witch gently took Mu Zhian's arm and looked at Yao Meng, a faint smile in her silver eyes hidden under her hood.

In her view, this was already a victory, because Mu Zhian did not struggle at all and seemed to have acquiesced to her taking her arm.

Of course... it could also be because Mu Zhian's movements are currently restricted by spiritual energy.

"I'm sorry..." Mu Zhian said to Yao Meng telepathically.

Perhaps in the eyes of the world this fairy is a kind older sister, but Mu Zhian has shared a bed with her a few times, so he probably knows her quite well.

This fairy is clearly black when cut open... I don't mind looking at her now, but no one knows if she's thinking about something dangerous.

Just as Mu Zhian knew Yao Meng well, Yao Meng gently licked her pink lips, making them even more moist.

Then, a soft, melodious voice gently rang in Mu Zhi'an's mind: "If you really want to apologize, it would be better to express your love in a different way tonight, wouldn't it?"
