It turns out, they were the main characters.

The mere mention of Ye Yu revealed an expression of utter cold disappointment in the beautiful red eyes of this ancestor of the Ye family.

Ye Qingxin still doesn't want to mention this unfilial descendant at all.

She felt that even a stranger would know how to be grateful, but Ye Yu...

Sometimes, a so-called clansman may not be as good as an outsider.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, his smile bright and gentle: "That's true. Even if there are demon cultivators, the old man inside Ye Yu's body can help him deal with it. After all, that old man knew quite a few demon cultivators in his lifetime, and he must have introduced them to Brother Ye."

"Does he know demon cultivators?"

Ye Qingxin's eyes flickered slightly as she glanced at Mu Zhian.

"I overheard Sister Qingdi mentioning a few days ago that the spiritual consciousness within Ye Yu is named Yao Shan. She was famous throughout the Eastern Continent and had many friends, even knowing quite a few people in the Demon Realm," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Ye Qingxin remained silent for a long time.

She knew about the hatred between Mu Zhian and Ye Yu, and her original plan was to remain neutral.

However, upon hearing Mu Zhian's words, even Ye Qingxin was momentarily stunned.

She had previously heard Ye Yu mention various things about Tianxuan City, including the fact that Bai Ruoxi's true identity was that of a demon cultivator.

When Ye Yu brought this up, he hoped that she could take the opportunity to deal with Bai Ruoxi, who was a demon cultivator.

However, for a powerful figure like Ye Qingxin, there was naturally no major objection to demon cultivators.

She knew that when Ye Yu was in Tianxuan City, he had used Bai Ruoxi's status as a demon cultivator to his advantage, revealing to the Liangyi Sect that Mu Zhian was protecting a demon cultivator.

According to Ye Yu's explanation at the time, he felt a deep and abiding hatred for demon cultivators.

At the time, Ye Qingxin only thought that Ye Yu was full of passion and had a sense of justice, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

If Ye Yu really knew the demon cultivators... then his past explanations would seem rather weak and ineffective.

Although she had long since given up on Ye Yu's affairs, Ye Qingxin still felt incredibly disheartened when she discovered that this boy was completely different from the Ye Yu she had imagined, and even ruthless.

Even under the cover of night, her figure remained alluring. A red dress accentuated her graceful curves, her face was stunning, and her figure was fiery. The black patterns on her dress added a touch of mystery to her.

However, the figure appeared somewhat lonely.

“Senior, not everyone in the Ye family is like Ye Yu… At least Qian’er and I are by your side, and we will definitely not let you down again.”

Mu Zhian mustered his courage and took the opportunity to place his palm on Ye Qingxin's cool, soft hand, as if he wanted to convey his sincerity to her in this way.

The warmth from her palms softened Ye Qingxin's expression considerably, and she glanced at Mu Zhian.

Although I know that Mu Zhian's words were meant to make people happy, no matter what, it's always better to be considerate of others than to be like Ye Yu.

"Hmm, I've built up enough goodwill, I should know when to stop..." Mu Zhian thought to himself.

After all, this is Tianhe Garden. Although Ruoxi is still meditating and cultivating for the Ascension Conference, Yao Meng might return at any time.

However, just as Mu Zhian was about to withdraw his hand, he found that he could not pull it out no matter what he did.

Ye Qingxin held Mu Zhian's hand, glanced at him slightly, and a playful smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"senior……?"

Mu Zhian is at a loss. Logically, I should be the one flirting with her and building rapport, so why is she the one taking the initiative now?

“Your Dao Heart Pill is still being refined. Under normal circumstances, it will take at least three to five days. If you want to wait for the full effect of the medicine, it will probably take at least half a month.”

"If I activate the secret technique, the medicinal effects can be fully realized tonight, allowing the innate furnace to complete its advancement," Ye Qingxin said softly.

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, then immediately said, "But wouldn't that affect your spiritual consciousness, senior?"

However, the moment he finished speaking, he saw Ye Qingxin's slender, long fingers gently moving upwards along her snow-white legs until they stopped at the hem of her skirt.

Noticing Mu Zhian's gaze, she slightly raised her lips, gently hooked her fingertip, and lifted a corner of her elegant long dress, revealing a pair of long, slender, snow-white legs.

It was only then that Mu Zhian finally realized that things seemed to have gone beyond his plans.

"You don't need to worry that the secret technique will affect my spiritual consciousness. If I can use the innate furnace to assist me afterward, my spiritual consciousness will naturally be nourished."

Mu Zhian understood the meaning behind those words and exclaimed in surprise, "But if you want to nurture your spiritual consciousness, you must..."

"Didn't you do something similar in my cave before?"

Ye Qingxin glanced at him with alluring eyes, her red eyes seemingly filled with a thousand charms.

Then, her melodious voice echoed once more in the quiet courtyard.

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

Yes, yes, but I really don't have a single drop left tonight... Mu Zhian refused with a reserved yet tactful tone: "No, I can't let down Sister Qingdi..."

However, before Mu Zhian could speak again, Ye Qingxin gently brought her rosy lips to his ear.

"The Azure Emperor is with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi tonight and will not be returning."

"Of course..."

She gazed into Mu Zhian's eyes, her beautiful red eyes, like crystal, exuding a bewitching allure.

With a soft, moist breath escaping from her lips, an alluring, gentle voice drifted lightly into my ear.

"Remember to keep this a secret from them."

As far as Ye Qingxin was concerned, there was no such thing as disliking Mu Zhian since she first descended to the mortal realm.

Ye Qingxin initially intervened to stand up for the descendants of the Ye family, but at that time it wouldn't be accurate to say she disliked Mu Zhian. Even when she saw Mu Zhian fantasizing about not even sparing her, the examiner, during the Cave Heaven assessment, Ye Qingxin didn't actually feel any displeasure.

Ultimately, although Mu Zhian had harbored improper thoughts about her, everyone has a dark side, especially since the Cave Heaven assessment at that time would amplify people's desires infinitely.

In her eyes, Mu Zhian was a humble and gentle young man, handsome and refined, like a graceful gentleman.

Moreover, with Ye Yu as a precedent for comparison, Mu Zhi'an's advantages become even more apparent.

In the Heavenly Court, besides Ye Qingxin, there were several other powerful beings who had ascended to the Heavenly Court long ago, but these powerful beings had no connection with each other.

The Ye family was once an ancient and powerful family, and she was the eldest daughter of the first patriarch of the Ye family. At that time, the Ye family was extremely powerful, with several elders at the Enlightenment or Return to the Void realm, and the patriarch of the Ye family was close to the Dao Integration realm.

At that time, Ye Qingxin was just a 'genius' in the Ye family.

Although she was the legitimate daughter, the head of the Ye family favored his concubines and therefore did not show much care for the daughter born to his principal wife. However, several elders of the Ye family doted on her.

No one could have imagined that the Ye family would fall into such a state of decline, while Ye Qingxin would stand out from among a group of geniuses, resonate with humanity, and ascend to the Heavenly Court.

It was after ascending to the Heavenly Court that Ye Qingxin had an idea.

—The entire clan ascended to heaven.

This is a feat that is difficult to achieve, and if successful, it will be recorded in history.

Ultimately, even those who have reached the Dao Integration stage find it difficult to ascend to immortality.

Throughout the history of the Nine Provinces, there have been several legends of powerful beings who forcibly opened the path to immortality, attempting to blast open the gates of the Heavenly Court and ascend to heaven, only to perish on the path to immortality.

Although it's just a legend, it's not hard to imagine just how difficult it is to ascend to the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, Ye Qingxin also intends to lead a group of Ye family members to ascend to immortality and become an ancient immortal clan.

As for why she had the idea of ​​her entire clan ascending to immortality, firstly, because the elders of her clan had taken good care of her in the past, and Ye Qingxin had a very deep affection for the Ye family; secondly, since she had achieved Dao, she had no desires and wanted nothing, and always hoped to leave something behind.

Over the past ten thousand years, the elders of the Ye family have all passed away, but Ye Qingxin alone has merged with the Dao of 'humanity', achieving the supreme Dao fruit and standing tall in the world.

Given that he is the only ancestor of the Ye family and his own feelings for the Ye family, it is not surprising that he would have such thoughts.

After all, since she achieved enlightenment, all she had left was her feelings for the Ye family... The path of cultivation is long, and she has always remembered those who were kind to her in the past.

It was precisely because of this clear distinction between gratitude and resentment that Ye Yu's attitude towards her made Ye Qingxin feel extremely heartbroken.

Fortunately, as Mu Zhian said, not all members of the Ye family are like this. It's just that Ye Yu is arrogant because he has a powerful figure helping him.

however……

Mu Zhian also has protectors, and more than one, yet he has never been arrogant and treats his seniors with utmost respect.

However, the more humble and gentle Mu Zhian's attitude was, the more captivating it became.

It makes one want to possess that humility and gentleness.

The voice that came from beside him was moist and alluring, with a seductive charm that made people itch. Even a seasoned driver like Mu Zhian couldn't resist it.

Seeing Mu Zhian's hesitant expression, looking conflicted as if saying, "But I can't let down Sister Qingdi," Ye Qingxin couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Actually, you don't need to feel sorry. Don't forget, we made an agreement that I would do my best to protect you before you reach the Enlightenment Realm. This time, I activated the secret technique to help you. Helping you is also helping myself."

The problem is that you lust after me and used a secret technique to try to take advantage of me, but I really don't have a drop left today... Mu Zhian said reservedly, "Actually, I think there's no rush for the Dao Heart Pill. It's okay to refine it slowly."

He hesitated for a moment, then added, "Besides, Ye Yu seems to care a lot about you, senior. Even though we had a fight, what if he gets angry when he comes back to the Liangyi Sect and finds out how well you've treated me?"

"There's no need to mention Ye Yu anymore. Do I need his permission to do anything?"

When Ye Yu was mentioned, a hint of indifference flashed in Ye Qingxin's breathtakingly beautiful red eyes, but her tone remained utterly calm.

Then, glancing at Mu Zhian, she suddenly asked casually, "Are you being so hesitant because you dislike me?"

Mu Zhian said helplessly, "Senior, you misunderstand. I'm just worried that your spiritual consciousness will be damaged as a result."

Ye Qingxin raised an eyebrow, leaned lazily against the railing behind her, crossed her long, slender legs, crossed her arms, and chuckled: "Not to mention that I am just a wisp of spiritual consciousness, it wouldn't matter if I disappeared. Moreover, even this wisp of spiritual consciousness is no less than the peak of the Void Returning Realm, and it is not so easy to disappear."

"Moreover, there are very few people in Kyushu that I know now. I'm afraid that even if this wisp of spiritual consciousness disappears one day, no one will know."

As she finished speaking, her eyes revealed an utter loneliness.

People admire and marvel at the Ye family ancestor's ascension to the Dao, but they don't know that while the Dao-merging powerhouses may seem glamorous, they also have the sorrow of watching their loved ones pass away one by one as their lifespans come to an end.

Now, not a single person in the Ye family recognizes her anymore.

Mu Zhian said sincerely, "Qian'er and I all respect you very much, and we don't want you to leave like this. If possible, we hope you can take care of yourself."

A captivating smile bloomed on Ye Qingxin's stunningly beautiful face, her alluring red eyes sparkling and enchanting as she teased, "Is so-called respect just about tearing other people's clothes to shreds in your imagination?"

"This isn't going to be resolved, is it...?" Mu Zhian said helplessly, "Everyone has a dark side, and besides, the trials of the cave will amplify a person's desires infinitely."

Ye Qingxin glanced at him, her eyes alluring, and lightly touched her red lips with her fingertips, saying intentionally or unintentionally, "What if I give you that chance?"

"I mean... I'm giving you a chance to amplify your desires?"

Her tone was relaxed and natural, yet her words were incredibly alluring.

Mu Zhian was taken aback, gazing into the enchanting and beautiful bright red eyes of the ancestor.
