However, as Bai Ruoxi's cultivation level improved, the memory of the battle between Lian Yue and Yao Meng in Tianhe Garden Palace that day gradually surfaced in her mind.
Whether there was any relationship between the Azure Emperor and the Shepherd was now a question that Bai Ruoxi was beginning to answer.
But even the Azure Emperor... can't take Mu Lang away.
……
Liangyi Peak.
Ye Lingxuan flew on her sword to the depths of Liangyi Peak. The Lock of Desolate Time trembled slightly behind her, and the lock guided her to a secluded garden.
Meanwhile, as Mu Zhi'an's meditation time in the Heavenly Court gradually passed, Lan Mulian in the villa began to vaguely sense that something was amiss.
Logically, he shouldn't be able to stay in the Heavenly Court for so long, but almost two hours have passed since then.
But Mu Zhian's spiritual consciousness was not damaged in any way, which means that he must have obtained some kind of opportunity in the Heavenly Court...?
Lan Mulian's eyes flickered slightly as she stared quietly at Mu Zhian's slightly closed eyes, high nose, and handsome face.
After a brief silence, she gently raised her hand, her cool, slender fingers tracing across Mu Zhi'an's face as she gazed at him quietly.
Then, for some reason, she sighed softly and silently withdrew her hand.
When she lowered her eyes, she was completely unaware that Mu Zhian had already recovered from his previous meditation state.
He slightly opened his eyes, lowered his eyelids, and glanced at the white-dressed beauty opposite him who could place her full breasts on the desk.
"To be so beautiful that you can't see your toes when you look down is to be the most beautiful woman in the world..." That's not necessarily true. But Lan Mulian's figure and appearance are indeed breathtaking, and she is untouched by worldly affairs.
Mu Zhian had just woken up, and as soon as he woke up, he felt Lan Mulian's cool, slender hand stroking his face, so he resisted the urge to open his eyes.
He felt both surprised and gratified at that moment.
To his surprise, his senior sister had just made unwanted advances towards him... but to his relief, she had just made unwanted advances towards him.
Although I knew that my senior sister appeared aloof on the outside, she was actually a little bit horny inside, but I never expected her to touch me inappropriately while I was falling asleep...
If this scene were witnessed by the sect disciples, Mu Zhi'an would probably receive a whole bunch of challenge letters the next day.
Lan Mulian's status in the hearts of the disciples in the sect is unimaginable. Even now, there are still people in the sect who can rival her in appearance, such as Bai Ruoxi. However, this senior sister is still the most admired person in the hearts of most disciples.
Mu Zhian is one of them.
However, the difference between him and others is that most people keep their thoughts to themselves, while Mu Zhian put them into action long ago.
Mu Zhian did not open his eyes immediately. He wanted to see if his senior sister would do anything else while he was 'unconscious'.
While Lan Mulian is indeed powerful, it is impossible for her to use her Heavenly Fate Sacred Body to spy on others' origins at all times. Unless she uses her spiritual sense to scan Mu Zhian's body, it is difficult for her to discover that he is 'playing dead' at this moment.
At that moment, Mu Zhian suddenly heard a soft sigh from the aloof beauty beside him.
Lan Mulian gazed at Mu Zhian's sleeping face with complicated emotions.
She actually had rather complicated feelings for this guy. In the past, she had always regarded him as a stranger with whom she could confide her innermost thoughts. Who knew that one day, this stranger would become her junior brother.
And he even secretly expressed his affection for her...
To be honest, Lan Mulian had seen far too many people pursue her in the past, so she didn't feel much for them.
Even though she knew in the past that Mu Zhian had given snow lotus to several people at the same time, she wasn't particularly angry; she was just a little uncomfortable.
Until that day when he returned to the Void after refining his spirit, he traveled thousands of miles away from his sect to Tianxuan City to buy osmanthus cakes, and even gave her the Enlightenment Seed that he had never refined... Only after that did she begin to examine her own heart.
When her master mentioned that the winner of the Ascension Tournament would receive an extra prize, she realized the true nature of her feelings for Mu Zhian.
However, she finds it difficult to express her inner feelings to others.
After all, in the eyes of the disciples in the sect, Lan Mulian was a cold and aloof figure, a genius of Kyushu, and even the number one among the younger generation of Kyushu.
Looking across the entire Nine Provinces, Lan Mulian is the only one at this age who has achieved the Refinement of Spirit and Return to Emptiness.
And she has maintained this image ever since.
Maintaining her aloof senior sister image while watching Mu Zhi'an be intimate with other women and turning a blind eye, it would be a lie to say she wasn't tormented inside.
But she had been pretending for so long that she no longer knew how to express her feelings directly.
Only in times like these can one feel at ease. When Mu Zhi'an is unconscious, she can reveal certain thoughts without any reservations.
Including looking at him like this now...
"If only time could stand still right now."
Lan Mulian gently placed her palm on the back of Mu Zhian's hand, and her clear and melodious voice rang out in the hall. Mu Zhian's heart fluttered, and he knew that this was the best time.
Senior sister really does have feelings for me. All my past efforts haven't been in vain... Mu Zhian felt quite gratified. His eyelids twitched slightly, and he was about to open his eyes.
Just then, a clear, neutral voice rang out softly in the main hall of the villa.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for a senior sister to be so handsy with a disciple who is still meditating and cultivating? If word gets out, wouldn't it be a bit much?"
As the voice rang out, Lan Mulian slowly raised her head and looked over.
Ye Lingxuan was standing at the entrance of the hall at some point, her purple dress fluttering in the cold wind, looking at them expressionlessly.

As Ye Lingxuan's calm voice rang out in the hall, it also startled Lan Mulian from her thoughts.
She looked up and saw a slender figure standing at the door. She was dressed in a gorgeous outfit, with beautiful patterns embroidered on her purple dress. This gorgeous and elegant attire, combined with her classical and delicate face, made her look as noble and elegant as a princess of the dynasty.
Although she is still a budding beauty, in a year or two, her looks will be comparable to those of a woman like Lan Mulian. Even now, she possesses a pure and innocent charm that is different from Lan Mulian's.
If Mu Zhian were to see this scene now, he would probably secretly admire Ye Lingxuan's beauty.
It's just a pity that he can't see anything now...
Although he was also in the hall at this moment, Mu Zhian did not dare to open his eyes at all.
My fingers feel numb. Why did Lingxuan come to Liangyi Peak? Shouldn't she be meditating and cultivating peacefully?!
Feeling the cold silence in the hall, Mu Zhian's inner soul seemed to roar with regret.
If he hadn't had the idea of trying to hook up with his senior sister, he wouldn't have been caught in such an embarrassing situation by Ye Lingxuan...
His senior sister's hand is still resting on the back of his hand.
Ye Lingxuan glanced at him subtly, then looked up and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, there's a competition tomorrow. Instead of focusing on your cultivation, why are you spending the night with Young Master Mu?"
"If word gets out, it might damage Senior Sister's reputation... After all, there are quite a few people in the sect who secretly admire her."
Lan Mulian raised her eyebrows slightly, and a smile that broke the ice appeared on her aloof and beautiful face. Her clear voice rang out: "My junior brother has questions about cultivation techniques, so he took the initiative to ask me about them tonight."
"It's perfectly normal for fellow disciples to help each other. If Junior Sister Lingxuan has any questions, she can also come to me."
"Senior Sister, why are you holding Brother Mu's hand like that... Could it be part of guiding his cultivation?" Ye Lingxuan glanced at Lan Mulian's hand holding Mu Zhi'an, her tone full of meaning.
Unexpectedly, Lan Mulian smiled brightly and said calmly, "I am taking my junior brother's pulse to confirm the direction of his spiritual energy flow."
Do I really need to hold your hand like this to take your pulse? Also, weren't you just touching Brother Mu's face?
Ye Lingxuan really wanted to tell Lan Mulian what she had just seen through the Lock of Desolate Time and confront her directly. How could you, a senior sister who entered the sect earlier than us, lay hands on a junior brother who was asleep?
But thinking about how, if she spoke up, the other person would ask her why she knew about this... imagining that scene, Ye Lingxuan ultimately held back.
The woman of the forbidden zone, the goddess in the hearts of her fellow disciples, is actually a voyeur... Even though she knew that Lan Mulian would not reveal such a thing, Ye Lingxuan was too shy to question her directly.
"Why did Brother Mu faint?" Ye Lingxuan asked suddenly after calming herself down a little.
"It's related to the path to immortality," Lan Mulian said succinctly.
"The Path to Immortality..." Ye Lingxuan's eyes flickered slightly as she recalled the black-robed man she had seen at the end of the Path to Immortality.
Could it really be him...?
An unusual glint flashed in Ye Lingxuan's eyes, as if she were pondering something important.
At this moment, Lan Mulian continued, "I have heard in the past that someone in the forbidden zone has achieved Dao and ascended to the Immortal Realm. You should know quite a bit about the Immortal Realm, right?"
"Senior Sister Lan even knows this?" Ye Lingxuan's eyes flickered slightly as she asked in surprise.
Ye Lingxuan didn't actually know much about the secrets of the past, but she had indeed heard elders in the forbidden zone say that powerful beings from within the forbidden zone had indeed ascended to the immortal realm.
To be precise, it wasn't a powerful figure from the forbidden zone, but rather a powerful figure from the Ye family.
In ancient times, the Forbidden Zone and the Ye family originally belonged to the same clan. However, the Ye family later split up, the Forbidden Zone gradually became stronger, while the original Ye family gradually declined. If it weren't for the Ye family's Heavenly Dao Qi, Ye Lingxuan would never have had any contact with the Ye family again.
However, this is ultimately just a legend. Whether that powerful figure from the Ye family truly ascended to the Immortal Realm is something only those powerful figures from her era would know.
"Did you and Brother Mu both go to the Heavenly Court tonight?" Ye Lingxuan asked.
Lan Mulian nodded slightly: "However, for some reason, Junior Brother is still unconscious."
As she spoke, her gaze couldn't help but fall on Mu Zhian, who was still unconscious beside her.
Logically speaking, even if he had obtained some divine favor in the Heavenly Court, his spiritual consciousness should not have not returned after so long.
Unless... Mu Zhian's spirit is trapped in the Heavenly Court.
Thinking of this, Lan Mulian glanced at Mu Zhian with her clear, cold eyes.
In her eyes, the structure of Mu Zhian's cauldron was also fully brought into view.
And the spiritual consciousness that had returned to her body at this moment was naturally seen through by her and completely came into her sight.
This glance caused Lan Mulian's expression to pause slightly.
As if in disbelief, she scanned Mu Zhian's body again with her spiritual sense.
"..."
At that moment, a slight ripple stirred in her heart.
This guy... he was already awake?!
Recalling what she had just done, a rare hint of panic flickered in Lan Mulian's usually cold and beautiful eyes.
When did he wake up? Did he know everything I just did...?
At this moment, she was in a state of utter confusion, so much so that even Ye Lingxuan, who was standing next to her, noticed something was wrong.
Ye Lingxuan's spiritual sense swept over Mu Zhi'an, and then she understood something. A meaningful look appeared in her eyes as she gave Mu Zhi'an a long, quiet glance.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became eerily quiet.
The two women stared silently at Mu Zhi'an, wondering how long he planned to keep up his act.
