It turns out, they were the main characters.

Bai Ruoxi sat in front of the dressing table, combing her slightly messy hair in front of the bronze mirror. Looking at the boy who had walked behind her in the mirror, she said in a clear voice:

"If people find out, there will be a lot of rumors in Tianxuan City, which will not be good for you."

Once word gets out that Mu Zhian was in Bai Ruoxi's boudoir, rumors will likely spread quickly, such as "the eldest son of the Mu family is threatening Bai Ruoxi."

Mu Zhian was seen as a spoiled brat in people's minds. Not to mention the people of Tianxuan City, Bai Ruoxi had always had this impression of Mu Zhian. So at first, she looked down on this young master of the Mu family.

However, during this period of contact, the girl gradually forgot about Mu Zhian's past behavior.

Love is always blind.

She combed her cascading black hair in front of the bronze mirror, then straightened her clothes, and then bit her rouge to reapply the rouge that was missing from her lips.

It must be said that the action of biting the rouge was indeed very elegant and attractive, so much so that Mu Zhian's gaze couldn't help but fall on Bai Ruoxi, who was applying makeup in front of the bronze mirror.

After applying the rouge, Bai Ruoxi stood up and turned to leave the room.

But as soon as she turned around, she bumped into the boy standing behind her. Mu Zhian stared into her eyes and placed his hands on her shoulders.

Bai Ruoxi subconsciously took half a step back, bumping right into the dressing table behind her.

She turned her head slightly, a blush creeping onto her delicate, flawless face. Her eyes flickered slightly as she whispered, "Stop fooling around, I have something to do in the side hall..."

Mu Zhian gazed at the girl's profile and said gently, "This is the last time, it won't be long."

Mu Zhian was still somewhat unsatisfied, having just been interrupted by the maid before he could even properly enjoy the experience.

Bai Ruoxi looked up at him, both helpless and shy, and said, "Wait until I get back—"

Before she could finish speaking, Mu Zhian sealed her lips with his own once again.

Bai Ruoxi's eyes widened slightly, her hands hovering in mid-air, as if she wanted to push him away, but she also felt a little reluctant in her heart.

After struggling internally for a short while, her eyes gradually became hazy until finally she wrapped her arms around Mu Zhian's neck.

Yeah, it was just a kiss, it was over quickly...

As for rouge and such, you can just apply it again later.

……

After reapplying her rouge, Bai Ruoxi left the room, repeatedly instructing Mu Zhian not to wander off.

Unlike before, the Bai residence is not like this now. If Mu Zhian leaves the room, he will probably be discovered soon.

As Bai Ruoxi walked gracefully to the door, she glanced at Mu Zhian with some concern and reminded him, "The Heavenly Dao Qi has just purified the spiritual energy around this room into a form that can be directly incorporated into the cauldron. You meditate for half an hour and I'll be back. Don't wander off."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Bai Ruoxi smiled faintly, a strand of her black hair adding a touch of languid charm. After nodding, she turned and left the room, closing the door behind her.

"I never thought I'd be meditating in a girl's room one day..." Mu Zhian watched Bai Ruoxi's graceful figure disappear from sight, and then looked around at the abundant spiritual energy, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Recalling Bai Ruoxi's attitude towards him in the carriage a while ago, and then thinking about her attitude today, the feeling was quite subtle.

While feeling moved, Mu Zhian couldn't help but recall the beautiful scene that had just occurred to him.

All I can say is that the rouge tastes really good.

As he pondered, he glanced at the several exquisite little boxes on the dressing table, each containing a variety of rouges, in colors ranging from dark to light.

"I'll try something different next time..." Mu Zhian withdrew his gaze, looked around at the abundant spiritual energy, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the Qi of Heaven; the purification speed is simply astonishing.

It's just a pity that this thing only stays with people who are extremely lucky.

Mu Zhian shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, about to re-enter a meditative state.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch a glimpse of some strange smoke. Mu Zhian subconsciously looked up, his gaze passing over the window and landing in a certain direction in the courtyard.

These mixed spiritual energies, once purified, are invisible and intangible, yet in that direction of the courtyard, he clearly saw a wisp of pink smoke rising gently.

This is... demonic energy.

"Strange, if there is demonic energy in the Bai residence, why didn't I detect it when I first came here?"

Mu Zhian walked to the window and looked up at the pink mist rising in front of him.

Then, after glancing around at the spiritual energy purified by the Heavenly Dao, he quickly understood.

Previously, this demonic aura was hidden within the mixed spiritual energy, and it's likely that the Bai Mansion had some kind of barrier set up to conceal the demonic aura.

However, Bai Ruoxi's Heavenly Dao Qi had just "purified" the surrounding spiritual energy, which also caused the demonic energy in the Bai Mansion to be exposed.

"Is the Bai family secretly cooperating with the demon cultivators?" Mu Zhian thought to himself.

He then quickly shook his head, denying the guess.

No, if the Bai family had cooperated with the demon cultivators, they wouldn't have been suppressed so badly by the Gongsun family and the Morning Dawn Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly remembered what the black-robed man's accomplice's spirit had said earlier.

It said at the time that they came to Tianxuan City to reunite with their companions, using Tianxuan City as a base to seize the Qi of Heaven.

In other words, they currently do not have a base in Tianxuan City...

Then the problem is coming.

Has anyone recently made any big moves, trying to occupy Tianxuan City as a base?

If we follow normal reasoning, the Gongsun family or the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce are both possibilities, but the Bai family is the only one that is not possible.

But the problem is... the demonic energy is now emanating from the Bai family, which is the least likely place to be affected.

The Bai family has been suppressed so severely, so the mole shouldn't be in the Bai family...

wrong……

Suddenly, it felt as if a blue lightning bolt flashed through Mu Zhian's mind, and his body stiffened slightly.

If we have to say, the Bai family is indeed unlikely to do this, but what if it was someone from the Bai family who did it?

During the recent suppression of the Bai family, who has been secretly making some big moves?

This conjecture left Mu Zhian standing there for a long time, until he finally returned to reality from his thoughts.

Mu Zhian braced himself against the table and used the momentum to jump out of the window.

He stood in front of the courtyard corridor, glanced around to make sure there were no servants patrolling nearby, then jumped onto the roof and his gaze quickly fell on the small house in the backyard not far away.

A wisp of pink smoke rose from the roof of the small house, giving off an indescribable sense of danger at first glance.

However, the mixed spiritual energy is gradually filling this space again, and the pink smoke that was originally rising up is gradually disappearing into this spiritual energy.

The demon cultivator is really in the Bai family...

Mu Zhian stared intently at the small house. After a long while, he no longer hesitated, withdrew his gaze, and quietly left the Bai residence.

To be sure of his suspicions, he needed Wei Mengrou's close protection.

……

In the side hall of the Bai residence.

Mr. Bai turned his head to look at his daughter sitting beside him. She pursed her lips, sat gracefully, and had no expression on her face.

"Xi'er, are you still angry with your father?" Father Bai asked gently.

Bai Ruoxi remained expressionless and said, "I'm not angry with Father, I'm just wondering why he seems so nonchalant. That day, Young Master Mu showed me Mother with another man..."

She turned her head to look into Bai's father's eyes, biting her lip, and said, "Don't you know about this too?"

"I know...of course I know." Father Bai poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.

"However, what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth... I ask you, when you saw your mother and Gongsun Xiong that night, did you actually see them being intimate?"

Bai Ruoxi pursed her lips slightly and whispered, "I didn't see it, but I heard their conversation..."

Mr. Bai gently put down his teacup and slowly spoke to the empty side hall, "Madam, the rest is up to you."

Bai Ruoxi raised her head slightly and saw a voluptuous and beautiful woman walk out of the back door of the side hall.

Bai Ruoxi looked at her mother with complicated emotions.

To be honest, she hadn't figured out how to face her mother yet.

The mother and daughter locked eyes, but neither of them spoke.

Bai Ruoxi's mouth opened slightly, as if she was about to speak.

At this moment, Bai Yuanfeng spoke first, saying something in a low voice.

Bai Ruoxi's eyes slowly widened, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

She covered her mouth, staring in astonishment at the voluptuous woman.

After a long while, her eyes gradually relaxed.

Before long, Bai Ruoxi left the side hall, her brows relaxed considerably, but a trace of worry remained in her eyes, as if she was concerned about something.

She walked gracefully down the corridor to her room, opened the door, and was shocked to find that Mu Zhian, who should have been meditating in the room, was nowhere to be seen.

It seems he's already gone back...

A hint of disappointment flashed through Bai Ruoxi's heart, but she concealed it well.

There was nothing that could be done about it; after all, Young Master Mu had probably gotten impatient waiting in the side hall for so long.

Moreover, she hasn't figured out how to face Mu Zhi'an yet.

Should I tell him that there's more to the story about my mother?

What would he do if I told him directly?

Should we report this directly to Senior Sister Lan?

If that's the case, then she'll have to make a choice between the two...

Bai Ruoxi lowered her eyes slightly, her expression as clear and cold as frost and snow. She was extremely beautiful, but her eyes were full of entanglement.

She sighed softly and shook her head to clear her mind.
