It turns out, they were the main characters.

Mu Zhian was rebuffed and felt somewhat helpless for a moment.

That's true. During the recent Ascension Ceremony, although everyone is often not in Tianhe Garden, they might come back at any time.

And it's not bad to feel the softness of Mengrou's body right now... especially seeing the usually cold and arrogant maid showing such alluring charm, it's even more irresistible.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian was about to move his hand up her waist.

As Wei Mengrou smelled the familiar scent on Mu Zhian, it was as if her once frozen heart was quietly melting away.

Although she was a little worried about how to explain it if someone came in and saw her being so intimate with her young master, she still slowly closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling nervously, enjoying this brief moment of warmth.

After a long while, Mu Zhian decided to stop while he was ahead, while Wei Mengrou lowered her head to tidy up her disheveled clothes, a faint blush still lingering on her aloof face.

Noticing Mu Zhian's teasing gaze, she gave him a disdainful look and quickly straightened her clothes.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she turned her head and looked at Mu Zhian with suspicion.

"Speaking of which, I remember giving you a box of perfume before, but I don't think I've ever seen you use it?"

Perfume...

Mu Zhian's eyes changed slightly.

That day, he originally intended to use perfume to cover up the fragrance on other girls, but after going to Liangyi Peak, he had no choice but to give the perfume to his senior sister.

Although Sister Mengrou is a kind maid with no bad intentions and only cares about her master, if she knew about this, she might just laugh at him and choose to surrender in the competition the next day, leaving him to fend for himself.

"Perfume balm is nice, but it would be too tiring to have to hide your fragrance when you're with Sister Mengrou."

Mu Zhian's smile remained unchanged as he gently embraced Wei Mengrou's soft waist.

Wei Mengrou glanced at Mu Zhian, but remained calm as she listened to his words.

She was aloof and elegant, sitting upright with her snow-white neck faintly visible. Although she was a maid, considering her identity as a primordial witch and her strength that was close to the Void Returning Realm, she also had a touch of awe-inspiring coldness.

It's hard to imagine that such a woman could have a shy side. Although she hasn't practiced dual cultivation yet, she's almost done everything else... Mu Zhian took Wei Mengrou's slightly cool, soft hand and felt a little emotional.

"By the way, I'll be going to Tianxuan City after the alchemy competition. What kind of perfume do you like?" Mu Zhian asked.

“My constitution is special, so I can’t be too far away from you. If you go to Tianxuan City, I will naturally go with you... As for the balm, we’ll see about that later,” Wei Mengrou said softly.

Mu Zhian understood perfectly, and took her small hand tightly, admiring the beautiful appearance of the maid in the yellow dress, while waiting for good news from Luo Tan.

Among the women Mu Zhian knew, each woman had a different temperament and appearance, and if a comparison had to be made, each had her own merits.

Wei Mengrou's advantage lies in her status and her long, jade-like legs. Although her yellow dress doesn't reveal her figure, her prominent breasts suggest that she is a woman of great capacity.

"Do you think Xiao Hua will perish here after this?" Wei Mengrou suddenly asked.

"He's a chosen one after all, so he's unlikely to die. But even if he doesn't, he won't fare much better after this," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Rather, if he really died, it would mean one less person to fleece on his side.

I wonder if, after Xiao Hua's luck is completely drained, Heaven will choose a new chosen one.

Although Mu Zhian did not think Xiao Hua would perish so easily, after all, he was a great power in his previous life and should be able to find a way to escape.

After regulating his spiritual energy for a moment, Mu Zhian got up and stretched, saying, "Let's go take a look too. It's about time."

"Are you alright?" Wei Mengrou asked hesitantly.

Mu Zhian noticed the slight glint in Wei Mengrou's eyes and couldn't help but tease her, "Sister Mengrou, you really feel sorry for her, don't you?"

"I told you, you deserved it," Wei Mengrou replied coldly.

Then, he reached out his hand to Mu Zhian and said calmly, "You are injured. I'll take you there so that the Medicine King and the others won't suspect anything."

Although it was an intentional injury, since it was an act, the act naturally had to be performed convincingly.

If Mu Zhian were to travel there on his sword, full of energy and seemingly unaffected, it would be difficult to explain.

"Sister Mengrou is so kind to me."

Mu Zhian sighed, but seeing Wei Mengrou's indifferent expression, he didn't care and casually put his arm around her waist, pressing his chest against her back.

"You plan to take this opportunity to get rid of Xiao Hua?"

Wei Mengrou summoned her flying sword and felt the warm aura coming from behind her. Her heart trembled slightly, but she maintained her usual aloofness and tried to change the subject.

In the past, she would have felt nothing at all about Mu Zhian's intimate contact, treating him like an insect.

But now that I'm aware of my feelings, even the simplest gesture makes me incredibly shy.

“Xiao Hua cannot die yet, but we can take this opportunity to suppress his fortune and damage the Heavenly Dao,” Mu Zhian said with a smile.

As long as the Heavenly Dao is damaged, the future new Heavenly Dao, Yuanluo, will have the opportunity to replace the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces.

And by then, he will be the only chosen one.

If Xiao Hua were to die directly, the benefits would not be maximized.

“If nothing unexpected happens, we can even gain a favor by going there now,” Mu Zhian continued.

If Ye Yu attacked Mu Zhi'an, even if Ye Yu was exposed afterward, he would try to deny it.

But Adam Silver is different.

Xiao Hua could only admit to attacking Mu Zhian, or rather, he had no other choice.

Hiding one's spiritual consciousness is a foolish method, because it is tantamount to indirectly admitting that he attacked Mu Zhi'an.

But Silver had no other choice.

He must either admit that he attacked Mu Zhi'an, or expose that he possessed Xiao Hua's body.

The former might still have a chance to live, but the latter... possessing another's body is an evil art.

……

At this moment, when Luo Tan arrived at the main hall, he saw Xiao Hua, who had already fainted in the hall.

Inside the main hall, no trace of the Void Nightmare was found, only remnants of its presence remained.

“His spiritual consciousness is extremely weak. Logically speaking, even if he was seriously injured in the battle with Bai Ruoxi, he shouldn’t be this weak.”

Yao Meng immediately saw through the deception and spoke softly.

"It's all too coincidental. The Void Nightmare escaped into the palace where the Medicine Emperor resides, and the Holy Son of Yuzhou happened to be unconscious inside."

Ye Qingxin looked down at the unconscious young holy son before her, but she was already certain in her heart.

It was Xiao Hua who attacked Mu Zhi'an.

Luo Tan's brows furrowed slightly, and her usually beautiful and elegant face turned somewhat cold.

She could naturally tell that Mu Zhian had intentionally put on this show in front of them, but regardless, Xiao Hua was the prime suspect at the moment.

Looking down at Xiao Hua, who was lying unconscious on the ground, Luo Tan's spiritual sense swept over him.

This single glance caused Luo Tan's gaze to turn considerably colder.

Just as the Azure Emperor said, Xiao Hua's spiritual consciousness was far too weak, so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

If it weren't for the backlash from the Void Nightmare, it would be impossible for me to be this weak.

Just as Mu Zhian had predicted, although the Void Nightmare was now Mu Zhian's pet, Xiao Hua still had to take the blame no matter what.

Unless he wants to expose his consciousness to the three powerful beings and have them examine it to prove his innocence.

But... what happens after the examination?

This proves that the Void Nightmare was not what he summoned, which means that he is no longer the real Xiao Hua.

Possessing another's body is something that deserves to die ten thousand times over.

At this moment, Xiao Hua has no choice but to remain in a 'coma,' indirectly admitting that he was the attacker.

"I will give the Azure Emperor an explanation after this matter," Luo Tan said.

Regardless of the circumstances, today's incident occurred on her side, and she has to give them an explanation.

Xiao Hua's current reaction is clearly caused by the backlash from the Void Nightmare, because he can still roughly detect some of the Void Nightmare's residual aura from his remaining spiritual consciousness.

In addition, his vital essence was also severely damaged, which was caused by feeding him the Void Nightmare.

However, Yao Meng clearly did not intend to give up so easily and was about to speak again.

At that moment, a weak and weary voice suddenly came from behind the main hall.

"I never imagined it was Brother Xiao who did this. It's truly unexpected..."

Not far away, Mu Zhian, led by Wei Mengrou, had just arrived at the palace on his sword.

At this moment, his eyes seemed to show some surprise, but also some expected calm and indifference, as his gaze fell directly on Xiao Hua, who was 'unconscious'.

Upon hearing this, Luo Tan glanced at Mu Zhi'an and asked, "When did you become enemies with him, young friend Mu?"

Logically speaking, how could a Holy Son of Yuzhou who had only recently arrived at the Liangyi Sect have become enemies with someone he had never met before, and even go so far as to use a secret technique to try to ambush Mu Zhian?

Mu Zhian smiled wryly, "If I had to say, it's just that I had some interaction with Miss Xiao Shuixian these past two days, and Brother Xiao happened to witness this scene..."

"Given the Holy Son's personality, he doesn't seem like the type to retaliate against you for something like this..."

Luo Tan frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss.

"That's what I think too, so I think we should put today's matter aside for now and make a decision after we've investigated it thoroughly," Mu Zhian said respectfully, raising his hand in a bow.

"You were ambushed by this person, and now you're going to speak up for him and defend him?"

Wearing a light blue dress, Yao Meng, who looked like a fairy in a painting, quietly looked at him. Her beautiful green eyes met Mu Zhian's apologetic gaze, and her cool and beautiful face revealed displeasure.

“I don’t mean to say that we should just leave this matter alone, but there are too many things involved, so I hope we can investigate it thoroughly before making a decision.” Mu Zhian looked at Yao Meng with an apologetic gaze.

Yao Meng was taken aback at first, then a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

As expected of the fairy who had accompanied Mu Zhi'an for several days and nights, she seemed to understand something quickly. Her moist lips curved into a barely perceptible arc, and she said coldly, "Fine, since you think I'm meddling in other people's business, then don't come to me with such matters again in the future."

After she finished speaking, she flicked her sleeve and transformed into a streak of azure light, leaving the main hall.

“There’s no need for you two to argue about this. If it was indeed Xiao Hua who did it, I will definitely punish him severely,” Luo Tan said.

Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "It is said that the Holy Son of Yuzhou is magnanimous and proper. I think he is not the kind of person who would be jealous and seek revenge because I had an interaction with his sister. There must be some hidden story behind this."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tan's eyes showed approval, and she felt a greater sense of goodwill towards him.
