It turns out, they were the main characters.

“That makes sense,” Mu Zhian said with a smile.

There are two chosen ones right now. Although he doesn't care much about them, he still needs to make some preparations for the future.

Although I don't know where Ye Yu went, the Void Nightmare is secretly following him. I hope the Treasure-Hunting Rat won't disappoint me...

A faint smile appeared on Mu Zhian's lips. He stepped onto the flying sword and was about to leave with Wei Mengrou in his arms.

However, at that moment, he suddenly sensed a somewhat familiar aura coming from afar, which pulled Mu Zhian back to reality from his previous leisure.

He looked up and saw a woman in a moon-white dress walking towards him.

"Senior Sister?"

Mu Zhian called out almost instinctively, watching as Lan Mulian landed lightly in front of him.

Chapter 346 The Maid Turns the Tables, Becoming the Master (5K)

Under the sky.

A beautiful woman in a white dress, as lovely as a painting, gracefully descended from mid-air. Mu Zhian's expression went from surprise to gradually stiffening, and he could vaguely smell the special fragrance on Lan Mulian's body.

"Holy crap, why is Senior Sister here at this time..." Mu Zhi'an's heart pounded wildly, and she vaguely sensed something was wrong.

And the fragrance she carries...

Did my senior sister use the perfume I gave her...?

He had just appeased Mengrou and was planning to fly back with her on their swords, perhaps to meet up and admire the plum blossoms in winter, when they unexpectedly ran into his senior sister, whom he had just subtly confessed his feelings to the day before.

Although I have my own time management system, it's all about following a plan. Is my senior sister going to teach me how to crash and burn? Mu Zhian tried to remain calm and stood between Wei Mengrou and Lan Mulian as much as possible to prevent them from noticing the fragrance on her senior sister.

"Senior sister... what are you doing here?"

He then forced a smile, his face slightly pale, but this paleness conveniently concealed the slight panic on Mu Zhian's face.

If Sister Mengrou knew that I gave the perfume to my senior sister, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully tonight. She might even wake up to find that her dog head has been turned into a stool.

As he spoke, he quietly released his arms from Wei Mengrou's slender waist, maintaining a small distance between them.

"The Azure Emperor said you were attacked on your way back to Tianhe Garden today. As the senior sister of the sect, if a disciple is attacked, I should naturally investigate the matter thoroughly. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone dare to attack my sect's disciples in the future?"

Lan Mulian coldly watched Mu Zhian's little actions, her clear, bright eyes filled with mockery and anger.

"But judging from the looks of it, the junior priest still has the leisure to flirt and meet with his junior sister, so he must not be seriously injured."

"Senior sister is joking. With your physique, you should be able to see the disorder of spiritual energy in my body right now, otherwise you wouldn't need to rely on Sister Mengrou to take me back."

Mu Zhian sighed helplessly and pointed to the cauldron inside his body.

To put on a good show, he had the Void Nightmare use more than 50% of its strength to attack him. Although he has recovered a lot with the help of pills, the disordered spiritual energy in his body still needs a day or two to be properly regulated.

However, I didn't expect that Sister Qingdi would even notify her senior sister to come over. It was truly unexpected.

Lan Mulian's beautiful eyes seemed to be tinged with the brilliant colors of stars as she examined Mu Zhian's body, confirming his condition through the special physique of the Heavenly Fate Holy Body.

After a while, she looked at Mu Zhian with her bright eyes and nodded, saying, "He has recovered quite a bit. With proper care for a couple of days, he should be fully recovered."

Do you know who attacked you?

Mu Zhian nodded slightly, then quickly shook her head: "Although the suspect has been identified, the Medicine King of Yuzhou has said he will personally investigate this matter, so please rest assured, Senior Sister."

Lan Mulian's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she naturally understood the meaning behind his words.

"Is it related to the people of Yuzhou, which is why the Medicine Emperor personally took charge of the investigation?"

"The Holy Maiden of Yuzhou fought with me a few days ago and used a secret technique. She is still recovering. If you have offended anyone from Yuzhou these past few days, you have only had contact with Xiao Shuixian, the most beautiful girl in Yuzhou. But you gave her elixirs yesterday, and your relationship is very good... Is this related to Xiao Hua?"

Senior sister is good in every way except that she is too smart. If you don't have a brain when you are with her, your future will definitely be arranged in a clear way... Mu Zhian was startled, but still forced a calm expression: "...It is almost exactly the same as Senior sister's guess."

She then asked, "How did you know that Miss Xiao visited Tianhe Garden a couple of days ago?"

Given her personality, she shouldn't be a stalker... Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that she has spies within the sect?"

Lan Mulian glanced at him, her smile indifferent.

"During the recent Ascension Ceremony, all the chief disciples were on guard against outsiders to avoid causing trouble. Yesterday, the disciples of the Enforcement Hall saw you and Xiao Shuixian come out together."

"Senior Sister is so intelligent and capable. You've worked so hard, having to attend the Ascension Ceremony and handle all these matters at the same time," Mu Zhi'an exclaimed in admiration.

Lan Mulian paid no attention to Mu Zhian's praise, and said in a melodious and cool voice:

"Since the Medicine Emperor is personally investigating this matter, we can indeed rest assured. However, I also need to understand this matter in detail afterward so that I can explain the ins and outs of this matter to the Enforcement Hall and take precautions to prevent similar situations from occurring."

Apart from arrogant people like Xiao Hua, no one should dare to attack someone within the Liangyi Sect... Mu Zhian said, "That's to be expected."

"To find out more about this, I will visit Tianhe Garden tonight. Are you busy tonight, Junior Brother?"

A late-night visit?!

Mu Zhian glanced at Lan Mulian in surprise.

"Senior Sister, there are still competitions to come. Don't you need to focus on your cultivation and prepare for the upcoming Ascension Tournament?" Mu Zhi'an politely declined.

Lan Mulian explained seriously, "Junior Brother's matter is equally important, and I don't have a competition tomorrow, so it's fine."

The problem is that if you come, everything will be under your nose. How am I supposed to cultivate together tonight... Although Mu Zhian was helpless, he wanted to separate Wei Mengrou and Lan Mulian as soon as possible, so he nodded in agreement.

"...In that case, I'll trouble you, Senior Sister."

Lan Mulian nodded in satisfaction, smiled slightly, and took out a box of pills, handing it to Mu Zhian.

"This pill can help my junior brother regulate the disordered spiritual energy in his body more quickly."

As she said this, she glanced casually at the yellow-skirted maid behind Mu Zhian.

Although her senior sister appears aloof and like an ice queen, she is actually quite gentle... Mu Zhian felt much comforted and accepted the pills. Then he saw Lan Mulian take out a box of spices that emitted a faint fragrance from her wide sleeves.

"Senior sister, what is this...?"

Lan Mulian smiled brightly, but her tone was icy as she said, "Spices can mask the scent on your body. You were just intimately embracing Junior Sister Wei. If Senior Qingdi smells it when we get back, it might not be good."

“This is a good thing for my junior brother.”

When exactly did this senior sister start spying from up there...?

Mu Zhian's gaze then became blank.

At this moment, Wei Mengrou's eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced at the dignified and elegant Senior Sister Lan, then took a light sniff.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she glanced at the young master before her, as if she understood something, her eyes gradually turning cold.

Oh.

A cold laugh escaped his lips, as if everything was already clear.

……

My senior sister is great in every way—she's kind-hearted, has a great figure, and is quite wealthy herself. The only downside is that she's too incredibly clever…

Being too smart isn't necessarily a good thing for a woman. Someone like Miss Linglong would be so much better...

Fortunately, Mengrou didn't seem to realize the meaning behind her senior's words, which was one of the few comforts Mu Zhian could find.

As evening fell, Mu Zhian dragged his tired body back to Tianhe Garden.

The villa was quiet. Bai Ruoxi seemed to feel a sense of crisis because of Lan Mulian. She was meditating and cultivating in the room. Even from a distance, one could feel the spiritual energy fluctuations after the purification of the Heavenly Dao Qi.

Upon entering the room, Mu Zhian took one of the Rejuvenation Pills given to him by Lan Mulian and used the pill to regulate his body.

Nearly half an hour later, the effects of the pill completely wore off, but Mu Zhian did not open his eyes. Instead, he used his spiritual energy to guide the cauldron, activate the master-servant contract, and confirm the current location of the Void Nightmare.

"I knew Ye Yu had obtained some new immortal destiny. It was the right thing to have the Void Nightmare track him earlier..."

"However, the direction Ye Yu is heading seems to be towards the border between the Northern Demon Realm and the Eastern Continent. Could there be the ruins of some ancient powerful being there?"

Mu Zhian looked thoughtful, recalling whether there were any unknown legends at the border between the demon realm and the Eastern Continent.

I should ask Sister Qingdi later... She should know more about these things than I do, after all, she has lived through the ages and knows many legends that are not recorded in ancient books.

However, Heaven truly did protect Ye Yu. Just after he was defeated by me, Heaven immediately arranged a celestial destiny for Ye Yu, allowing his strength to improve.

If she hadn't awakened her memories of her past life, even if she had won against Ye Yu this time, he might have taken revenge on her next time, staging a classic "don't underestimate a young man's potential" scenario.

But right now, Ye Qingxin no longer trusts Ye Yu, and the old man inside Ye Yu is also being hunted down by Luo Tan, so he wouldn't dare to reveal his identity... To me, Ye Yu is not much of a threat.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian immediately withdrew his spiritual sense and slowly opened his eyes.

Although he was physically present, he was able to share the same field of vision as the Void Nightmare and perceive Ye Yu's current location.

If it weren't for the fact that the Void Nightmare requires dreams as a sacrifice and is difficult for ordinary people to control, it would truly have no flaws.

Thinking about this, Mu Zhian suddenly noticed that Wei Mengrou, who was protecting him, was looking at him with cold eyes. Following her gaze, he saw the aloof and mature yellow-clad maid standing quietly in the shadows, her beautiful hair framing her dignified and delicate face, exuding a cool and stern beauty.

Mu Zhian couldn't help but wave at her.

"what?"

“Sister Mengrou, standing all the time must be tiring. Come over here and sit down,” Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Wei Mengrou maintained her aloof and reserved demeanor, but her beautiful eyes were even colder than usual as she glanced at him with a lingering look.

Seeing Mu Zhian smile brightly and wave at him again, he sat down on the bed next to him without making a sound. However, his obviously displeased and indifferent temperament made Mu Zhian vaguely feel that something was wrong.

Sister Mengrou is angry, but I don't think I provoked her today. She was fine when I arrived. It must be related to Senior Sister's matter... Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly, but his mind was as clear as a mirror.

He said calmly, "If nothing unexpected happens, I should be leaving for two days after this."

Wei Mengrou seemed to have recovered from her previous displeasure. She seemed to want to turn her head to look at him, but out of pride, she only moved her jade neck slightly and did not turn her head. She said, "Do you want to go to the cave that Ye Yu went to?"

If she was initially dissatisfied with Mu Zhian giving her the Lan Mulian perfume, now that she heard Mu Zhian was leaving for a few days, Wei Mengrou felt more reluctant to part with him.

But she was too shy to say that she wanted to go too.

“My constitution is special. If I leave you, the Heavenly Dao might notice…” Wei Mengrou looked ahead, her tone cold.

Mu Zhian has a special constitution that allows him to shield himself from the secrets of heaven. This is why Wei Mengrou, who is born with a body of misfortune, does not suffer bad luck when she follows Mu Zhian.

“You now have a bronze tablet to suppress your bad luck, so there shouldn’t be any problem if you’re only away for two or three days,” Mu Zhian said.

Actually, he didn't really have to set off in the next two days. Once Ye Yu, the treasure-hunting rat, found the location of that ancient cave, it would still be time to have the Void Nightmare lead the way.

He just wanted to see why Wei Mengrou was angry today.

Although he had already guessed roughly what was going on.

It must be that Sister Mengrou smelled the perfume her senior sister was wearing...
