It turns out, they were the main characters.

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly, and he felt his heart beating faster than he could have imagined.

The power of the Heavenly Dao originates from whether a powerful being who has attained the Dao aligns with it, and the same applies to the new Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, after Yao Meng merged with the new Heavenly Dao, the Iris, which was bound to the Heavenly Court, became stronger, and he was able to sense the existence of the Heavenly Court more accurately. He could even enter the Heavenly Court with his own spiritual consciousness without relying on any magic treasures.

"You're at the sixth level of the Spirit Refinement stage now, right?" Shang Yanfei asked.

"My cultivation speed is a bit slow; I am indeed at the sixth level of the Spirit Refinement stage," Mu Zhi'an replied.

Shang Yanfei stared intently, remaining silent for a long time.

"Is there anything else?" she suddenly asked.

"Does staying overnight at Sect Leader's place count as...?" Mu Zhi'an thought to himself, but respectfully replied, "No, not for now."

It would be a lie to say that he had nothing left; he had a lot of questions he wanted to ask Shang Yanfei, but he knew that she wouldn't answer them even if he did.

"It's getting late tonight, so I won't disturb the sect leader's rest any longer."

Having said that, Mu Zhian was about to turn and leave.

"Wait a minute."

Just then, a clear and elegant voice came from behind. A cold wind blew, and her dark dress clung to her graceful figure. From Mu Zhian's perspective, he could vaguely see the perfect curve of her chest.

Then, under Mu Zhian's gaze, Shang Yanfei got up and walked to the front of the courtyard. She raised her slender hand, looked up, and picked up a peach blossom.

She turned around and carefully pinned it to the black robe on his chest, smiling gently: "Happy wedding."

Chapter 383 Mu Zhian: Not Panicked at All, Everything is in Plan 6.5K

"That sounds like a congratulatory remark, but I can't help but feel there's a hint of sarcasm in it..."

Mu Zhian gazed at the sect leader's flawless beauty and couldn't help but mentally complain.

He suspected that the sect leader was being sarcastic or mocking, but lacking evidence, he had no choice but to take his leave and depart from the small courtyard.

It is not advisable to linger on Liangyi Peak, as it is inevitable that other disciples will gossip if they see us.

After all, one already has a Daoist partner, while the other is the sect leader of the Liangyi Sect. Their secret rendezvous late at night... if seen by someone with ulterior motives, it will inevitably become a rumor that 'the sect leader favors a certain disciple'.

Fortunately, his senior sister was also at Liangyi Peak, so even if there were rumors, Mu Zhian could say that he went to see his senior sister.

As night fell, Mu Zhian flew through several grand halls on his sword. After a moment's thought, he returned to a clean and elegant villa and soon spotted Lan Mulian in a small house.

"Junior brother, how come you have time to visit Liangyi Peak tonight? I think I saw you go to see Master just now?"

Just as Mu Zhian was about to knock on the door, a cold and aloof voice came from inside.

“The Two Elements Peak is shrouded in an array all year round, making it difficult to set foot there. I also wanted to take this opportunity to catch up with my senior sister,” Mu Zhian said.

This statement indirectly acknowledges that he did indeed have business with Shang Yanfei, but it doesn't sound very straightforward.

I'm looking for the sect leader, but I haven't forgotten you, senior sister... otherwise why would I come looking for you?

This is the true meaning behind Mu Zhian's words.

After all, Lan Mulian had always lived in Liangyi Peak, and often played chess with her fair and just sect leader sister who never liked cheating. The two great beauties, master and disciple, must have occasionally talked about Mu Zhian.

Rather than waiting for Shang Yanfei to accidentally mention this matter during their subsequent chess match, it would be better to take the initiative to find her senior sister.

"May I come in?" Seeing no one inside, Mu Zhian asked again, about to push open the door.

"Wait first!"

Suddenly, her voice rose a few decibels, a hint of panic lurking beneath her cold tone.

She was anxious, but why? Could they be doing something shady...? Just as Mu Zhian was about to push the door open, she immediately heard a soft rustling sound coming from inside the room.

Mu Zhian hesitated at first, then his eyes glazed over, and then he started thinking for a few seconds.

Then, his eyes widened suddenly, as if he had thought of something.

Mu Zhian remained calm, said "Oh," and then walked to the windowsill. He held his breath slightly, tiptoed, and peeked inside.

Snapped!

A shoe flew out of the room and hit Mu Zhian squarely on the forehead.

However, before Mu Zhian could even think about the pain, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the scene inside the room.

At this moment, the tall, aloof beauty had just put on a loose white inner garment, vaguely revealing her snow-white shoulders and jade-like neck. Her back was to Mu Zhian, and her beautiful hair was draped over her shoulders.

The thin white fabric wrapped around her delicate body, and Mu Zhian could vaguely see the curves of her full hips when he looked in from the window.

Perhaps because she was being stared at, her plump, snow-white, slender legs subconsciously came together, and her eyes feigned indifference: "Nothing to say?"

"Very beautiful, I give it a perfect 10," Mu Zhian commented.

If you give ( ), you can give 100 points...

Lan Mulian gave him a cold glance: "Junior brother is a married man, please have some self-respect."

"So the invitations were even received by Ryougi Peak...?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian gave a wry smile and said, "Actually, there's more to this story..."

Lan Mulian gave a faint "hmm": "Go to the hall and wait for me. I'll come after I change."

Senior sister's tolerance is really strong. If Lingxuan or Qian'er had seen this scene, they would probably have been so ashamed that they wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground. But senior sister is still calm... Mu Zhian nodded slightly, turned around and left the room.

Lan Mulian put one hand in front of her chest, walked to the windowsill and closed the window. Then she turned around, sat on the table, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

My heart is racing uncontrollably.

She glanced briefly at the bronze mirror on the dressing table, which revealed a beautiful and delicate face with two lingering blushes that were incredibly alluring.

……

Mu Zhian waited in the hall for nearly a quarter of an hour before seeing the tall, aloof beauty walk into the hall.

A flowing, cascading cyan robe, slightly disheveled and languid, contrasts beautifully with the off-white dress that accentuates her perfect proportions.

Lan Mulian glanced at Mu Zhian, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, and she snorted softly, "Master is quite lenient with you, actually letting you in."

Logically speaking, given Shang Yanfei's status, under normal circumstances, sect disciples would have no way to directly meet her. It was only because Shang Yanfei mistakenly accepted a paper crane from Mu Zhian that the subsequent events occurred.

"Senior sister seems to really like her teacher?" Mu Zhian asked with a smile.

Lan Mulian said calmly, "Who in this world doesn't respect their master? Only my junior brother would still send messages to her via paper cranes even after knowing her identity."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle: "At first, I just thought the person who was sending me messages with paper cranes was my senior sister, but who knew that one day I would suddenly find out that she had become the sect leader..."

“However, speaking of the sect leader, I remember that Sister Lingxuan seemed to have mentioned her several times before,” Mu Zhian continued.

When Ye Lingxuan was still a little girl, she accompanied the Lord of the Forbidden Zone to visit Shang Yanfei, and thus she has admired that sect leader since childhood.

Ye Lingxuan's elegance and composure today are largely due to the influence of the sect leader.

Lan Mulian smiled brightly: "I don't think there's anyone in this world who doesn't like her."

In this world, only Consort Shang Yan has the ethereal beauty of the Azure Emperor.

But she quickly suppressed her smile and glanced at him: "But I must remind you, don't try to scheme against your master... If you try to scheme against her, you'll eventually find that even your scheming against her was a result of her influence."

The fact that my senior sister is willing to tell me these things means that she considers me one of her own. I guess I should have been more obsequious... Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "In Liangyi Peak, the only person I like is my senior sister."

"I'm not referring to a matter of liking or disliking."

Lan Mulian glanced at Mu Zhian, tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, and said calmly, "Just remember my reminder."

Seeing Mu Zhian nod earnestly, Lan Mulian finally revealed a faint smile.

Actually, there was something that had been puzzling her for a long time, which she had never mentioned to anyone.

There are many formations in Liangyi Peak, most of which were set up by Consort Shang Yan in her spare time. The fact that the paper crane she wrote could fly out of Liangyi Peak and even fly to Tianxuan City was naturally due to Consort Shang Yan's tacit approval.

The schemes set up by others were always orchestrated by Shang Yanfei. Would someone who could glimpse the secrets of heaven and not even suffer a backlash really accidentally accept the paper cranes sent by his junior brother, and even exchange letters with him for so long without knowing it?

Lan Mulian suddenly remembered something important, and the smile on her lips gradually faded. Then, her clear, beautiful eyes, as cold as a deep pool, became somewhat indifferent: "Speaking of which, since Junior Brother is getting married soon, shouldn't I prepare some congratulatory gift for you and congratulate you on your wedding?"

"Here it comes, Senior Sister finally couldn't hold back anymore..." Mu Zhi'an had already prepared his reason, saying, "I told Senior Sister before that although it's ostensibly a marriage, in reality—"

Before she could finish speaking, Lan Mulian interjected, "Actually, it's to achieve certain goals, such as... fishing?"

Senior sister is indeed incredibly clever; she guessed everything… Mu Zhian asked, “When did senior sister find out?”

"With your personality, how could you possibly settle down and get married so easily?"

Lan Mulian chuckled softly: "If we really get married, I'm afraid the first one who won't be able to sit still will be Junior Sister Bai."

"Of course, if the fish hadn't surfaced, it wouldn't be hard to guarantee that the Azure Emperor wouldn't have taken the opportunity to actually go through with the wedding."

“In the presence of the cultivators of Kyushu,” she added.

Mu Zhian immediately replied, "Senior Sister, please rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

"Ahem... Oh right, I haven't congratulated Senior Sister on her victory in this Ascension Tournament yet."

This is clearly a change of topic as they sense the situation is turning sour, how awkward... Lan Mulian pursed her lips and said indifferently, "There are no other Void Returning Realm cultivators besides me in this Ascension Tournament, so winning won't make much of a difference."

"But you, do you still remember your previous promise?"

Lan Mulian glanced at him, her pink lips suddenly curving into a beautiful smile. She changed the subject, "The three Emperor-level medicinal herbs are the obvious reward for this Ascension Ceremony, but is there another reward hidden behind the scenes?"

"If I remember correctly, you also acquiesced to that condition back then."

Finally, she took out a talisman from her sleeve.

Mu Zhian glanced at it subconsciously, then hesitated and asked, "What is this...?"

Lan Mulian revealed a stunningly beautiful smile, as if breaking through ice: "No matter where you are, as long as you burn this talisman, you can be teleported back here."

Mu Zhian's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed in surprise, "There are such talismans in this world? Could this also have been made by the sect leader?"

"In this world, only Master is proficient in the Nine Peaks Dao and can suppress the formation within a single talisman."

Lan Mulian gathered her hair behind her back and looked him up and down with a half-smile: "In my villa, there is a rather secluded little dark room. My master said that it used to be the place where she studied formations and invented all sorts of strange and wonderful props, but now it has been abandoned."

Lan Mulian turned her head to look at him and smiled sweetly: "It suits you quite well."

Please don't use such a charming smile to say such cold words, okay? Senior sister may seem aloof and flawless, but her heart is actually black... Mu Zhi'an covered up his embarrassment and panic with a cough, and said:

"Senior sister is joking. Given our relationship, if you need anything, just say the word and I'll come. There's no need to use that kind of talisman."

Lan Mulian gave him a meaningful look: "I hope so."
