It turns out, they were the main characters.

But judging from her performance today, it's unlikely anyone can beat her...

Looking down from the arena, Mu Zhian quickly spotted the figure of the maid in the yellow dress in the crowd.

She was also looking up in his direction, her eyes cold, and she even curled her lips into a sneer, as if she were gloating.

Although she was Mu Zhian's maid, she had been treated rudely to her face these past few days, so it was impossible for her not to be jealous.

Wei Mengrou had no intention of paying attention to her young master at this moment, and she indifferently withdrew her gaze as if she did not recognize him.

Some cultivators, after regaining their senses, glanced at Yao Meng on the Ascension Platform, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

The Azure Emperor remained expressionless, looking at Mu Zhi'an with a slight smile, and said in a relaxed and natural tone, "Speaking of which, he and that girl from the Lan family have known each other for a long time, so it's normal that they have a good relationship."

This statement shows that she doesn't care about the relationship between Mu Zhi'an and Lan Mulian, and it also broadens her perspective.

Ye Qingxin's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked casually, "Does the Azure Emperor not mind that there are other girls around his Daoist partner?"

"It's impossible to say I don't care, but if I had to say, I'm a latecomer."

Yao Meng smiled casually, her attitude appearing nonchalant.

Ye Qingxin remained silent, only giving Yao Meng a meaningful look before her alluring red eyes fell directly on Mu Zhian.

After bowing to the crowd, he glanced at the Ascension Platform again, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and finally gritted his teeth and flew away on his sword.

Ye Qingxin watched this scene and couldn't help but chuckle. She lightly touched her red lips with her fingertips, and Mu Zhian's figure was reflected in her bewitching red eyes.

It was a bit too rash of me to dislike Ye Yu based solely on his one-sided account.

Judging from Lan Mulian's behavior and the respect shown to her by the sect disciples, she could tell that Lan Mulian was an extremely charming ice-cold beauty.

The fact that such a beautiful woman can express her feelings in public is enough to demonstrate Mu Zhian's excellence.

Not only is he a natural-born furnace, but Mu Zhian is also extremely outstanding in his daily conduct and even in winning the hearts of girls.

She had already experienced these things before.

……

Mu Zhian had no idea what everyone was thinking at the moment. In the end, he didn't want to stay at the scene either, for fear that he would be challenged by the people in the audience.

The previous incident involving the Azure Emperor had already aroused jealousy among many people. Now, seeing their respected senior sister take such actions, one wonders what the disciples in the sect would think.

After Mu Zhian left on his sword, the silent atmosphere that had enveloped the area finally disappeared.

Everyone came to their senses.

Ye Lingxuan, Bai Ruoxi, and others were still in a daze. Although they had known about their senior sister's feelings for a long time, it was impossible not to be angry when they saw her express her feelings in front of so many people.

"Sister, if Senior Sister wins in the end, will Brother Mu be taken away by her?"

Amidst a commotion, Ye Qian, with mixed feelings of trepidation and unease, quietly tugged at Ye Lingxuan's sleeve.

Upon hearing this question, Bai Ruoxi, who was standing not far away, also held her breath and listened attentively to the conversation between the two sisters.

Ye Lingxuan remained calm in the face of this question, saying, "This is just a one-sided confession from Senior Sister. Brother Mu hasn't responded yet, has he? Even if we win the Ascension Tournament, the initiative will still ultimately be in Brother Mu's hands."

"Besides, I don't think I'll lose to my senior sister."

Ye Qian gave a soft "hmm," but her eyes still held a hint of worry.

Dressed in a gray robe, Xiao Shuixian, with her exquisite and curvaceous figure, gazed at this scene, her eyebrows slightly raised, seemingly somewhat surprised.

This young master Mu looks gentle and refined, like a dashing gentleman, but I didn't expect him to be so complicated when it comes to relationships.

However, since it was her mother's order, making another friend, especially one with such a powerful background, was naturally more beneficial than harmful.

As long as I'm careful and try to avoid getting too close to him, there won't be any problems.

The discussions near the Ascension Platform grew increasingly lively, while Xiao Shuixian slowly retreated, following the direction Mu Zhian had gone.

At this moment, most of the sect disciples were both angry and envious of Mu Zhi'an.

Lan Mulian's position in their hearts can be described as unparalleled. If the person she was in love with were a normal cultivator, it would be fine.

But Mu Zhian already has Qingdi and Bai Ruoxi... which makes it hard for people to feel at peace.

However, while everyone was jealous of Mu Zhian, they also felt a sense of awe towards him.

With the Qing Emperor's connection to Mu Zhi'an, especially given that the Qing Emperor had just witnessed his Daoist partner being kissed by someone and remained completely unresponsive... no one dared to criticize or even attack Mu Zhi'an.

After all, Mu Zhian is currently the Daoist partner favored by the Azure Emperor.

...At most, they will write a challenge letter to Mu Zhian in the future to have a friendly exchange.

"This Mu Zhian not only saved Qingdi's life, but their relationship is even better than I imagined... Seeing that he doesn't react at all when he's in contact with other girls, this is bad..."

Xiao Hua looked at the Azure Emperor on the Ascension Platform, who had a natural expression, and his expression changed slightly as he realized that things were getting tricky.

However, I have been reborn, and in my previous life I even reached a top level that ordinary people could not reach. Although it is troublesome, it is not without a solution.

Based on his past life's experience, he can avoid many detours and should be able to comprehend the Dao soon.

But it was after that that he truly made a name for himself.

Although he felt that before he attained enlightenment, he would probably be hindered in every way by Mu Zhian.

For no apparent reason, Xiao Hua could sense that if he wanted to return to the Enlightenment Realm in the future, he would inevitably run into Mu Zhi'an sooner or later.

This was a divine secret guiding him... or rather, a guidance from the Way of Heaven.

Since that's the case, we must know ourselves and our enemy no matter what... We should learn about Mu Zhian's background as soon as possible so that we can make preparations early.

A glint of light flashed in Xiao Hua's eyes, and he began to prepare his next plan.

Just then, he saw the gray-robed woman in the crowd turn around and quietly leave the crowd, flying away on her sword in a certain direction.

And the direction she went was exactly the same as the direction Mu Zhi'an had just left in!

After observing this scene, Xiao Hua calmed himself down and quietly left.

He was somewhat worried about his sister. If Mu Zhian were to make a move beforehand, the obsession within him would likely have a deeper impact on her in the future.

……

While people at the Ascension Platform were discussing Mu Zhi'an's situation, Mu Zhi'an was still troubled by Lan Mulian's various reactions.

"Sister Mengrou, it seems the Ascension Ceremony can only rely on you."

Mu Zhian returned to Tianhe Garden, sighed softly, and turned to look at Wei Mengrou, who was already standing beside him like a shadow.

Wei Mengrou, who had been silently following behind, gave her young master a disdainful look.

"Oh."

He then gave a mocking sneer.

You only realize how good someone is after something bad happens? Isn't that a bit too late?

Although Wei Mengrou appeared extremely indifferent at this moment, she actually felt a strange sense of jealousy welling up inside her.

Mu Zhian also noticed this and was about to speak to comfort the maid.

At this moment, a slight fluctuation suddenly came from the formation in Tianhe Garden.

"Looks like we have more guests. Mengrou, why don't you go and greet them?"

Mu Zhian noticed the unfamiliar visitors outside and looked up at Wei Mengrou.

Normally, acquaintances would not trigger the formation when entering Tianhe Garden. This reaction is clearly due to a stranger visiting Tianhe Garden for the first time.

Wei Mengrou glanced at Mu Zhian, gave a faint "hmm," and walked gracefully out of the gate of Tianhe Garden.

In front of the villa, Xiao Shuixian, dressed in a simple gray robe, stood before the gate. Her natural beauty was undeniable. Even without makeup, she was stunningly beautiful, making it hard to imagine how beautiful she would be if she wore a little makeup.

She held a small jade bottle in her hand, which was emitting a strong medicinal fragrance.

If I remember correctly, she should be a maidservant by Young Master Mu's side.

When Xiao Shuixian saw the person who came, she first judged his identity. Then, she smiled elegantly and said softly, "Young Master Mu, you have consumed a lot of spiritual energy in today's competition. This is a pill that I made to restore spiritual energy when I was in Yuzhou. It is just a small token of my appreciation."

Wei Mengrou accepted the jade bottle, a faint smile on her cool face: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Xiao. If you don't mind, you can stay and chat."

“It just so happens that my young master also seems to particularly enjoy making friends and talking to people.”

Wei Mengrou deliberately emphasized the word 'conversation' and glanced casually at Mu Zhian, who was following behind her.

"If Miss Xiao has nothing else to do later, why don't you come in and have a seat?"

Mu Zhian didn't care about the hidden meaning in Wei Mengrou's words and smiled as he invited Xiao Shuixian in.

The woman in the gray robe nodded demurely and said, "Then I'll have to bother you two."

The villa was covered with a layer of snow, and the snow lotuses that had been carefully cultivated in the pond were blooming silently.

Led by Wei Mengrou, Xiao Shuixian arrived at a courtyard. As she sat down, her bright and beautiful eyes secretly observed the young man not far from her.

In fact, a few days ago, although she intended to befriend Mu Zhi'an, she valued the power behind him even more.

But today, even the senior sister who is recognized as the number one among her peers is interested in this person... This makes people have to pay attention to his own talent and charm.

This Mu Zhian must have some extraordinary qualities, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to attract the interest of that Senior Sister Lan.

Compared to Xiao Shuixian's secret observation, Mu Zhian appeared much more natural. He did not hide his gaze and looked at Xiao Shuixian openly, but there was no lustful emotion in his eyes. Moreover, he would pretend to admire the scenery from time to time.

It's normal to look at beautiful women, but one shouldn't act too lewdly. Mu Zhian understood this principle well.

"Thank you so much, Miss Xiao, for refining the pills. In all my time in the sect, this is the first time I've seen such high-quality pills among my peers. It must be that Miss Xiao's talent in alchemy in Yuzhou is second to none."

Hearing Mu Zhian's heartfelt praise, Xiao Shuixian snapped out of her daze, and the awkwardness she felt when meeting a stranger dissipated somewhat.

If we set aside his romantic nature, this young master Mu is truly a refined gentleman. He is not only gentle and elegant but also approachable and does not become arrogant because he has the Azure Emperor as his backer.

The atmosphere between the two relaxed considerably, and Mu Zhian took the opportunity to introduce the various landscapes within the Liangyi Sect, while also inquiring about the situation in Yuzhou.

When Xiao Shuixian brought up the matter of Yuzhou, Mu Zhian listened patiently and showed great interest.

These behaviors made Xiao Shuixian feel even more favorably toward him.

As the disciple of the dean of Zunyun Academy, Xiao Shuixian's alchemy skills far surpassed those of her peers. Moreover, she inherited the Divine King Bone from a young age, coupled with her special physique. It can be said that Xiao Shuixian's popularity in Zunyun Academy is equivalent to that of Lan Mulian, and she is sought after by countless people.

Therefore, she had seen far too many outstanding young people in the past, but there were very few people as humble and gentle as Mu Zhian.

She even felt that this person's words and actions seemed to have a special charm, making people's eyes involuntarily fall on his face. Even knowing that he already had a partner, she would not feel uncomfortable having a heart-to-heart talk with him.

Mu Zhian naturally noticed Xiao Shuixian's behavior, took a sip of tea without making a sound, but found it quite amusing.

Although she is the chosen heroine, she shouldn't be that attractive to people who aren't the 'protagonists'. However, the older sister of this chosen one seems to have a good impression of him, which is really interesting.
