It turns out, they were the main characters.

No wonder she failed to win the title of the most beautiful woman in Tianxuan City.

Firstly, there's her almost pathological sadistic personality, and secondly, it's probably because... her bust size is far inferior to Bai Ruoxi's.

Mu Zhian boarded the carriage and said to the driver, "Go to Chaohai Inn."

Since we're already out, let's buy some osmanthus cakes and then visit Senior Sister Lan.

The snow lotus I gave her before was almost withered, so I can give her a new one.

Chapter 61 Listen to your sister, this water is deep, you can't handle it. 5K

Mu Zhian took a carriage to Chaohai Inn, bought some local famous osmanthus cake, and soon arrived at the inn where Lan Mulian was staying.

After getting off the carriage and entering the inn, Mu Zhian knocked on the door of his room.

"Come in." A clear, pleasant voice came from inside the room. It was like the crisp, melodious sound of an ice cube being dropped into a glass of water, and it had a charm that could calm even an anxious heart.

Mu Zhian pushed open the door and entered, where he saw his senior sister, who had been in Tianxuan City for several days but still stayed in the inn and rarely went out.

Lan Mulian seemed to have just finished meditating, and slowly opened her eyes. Her moon-white dress accentuated her snow-white skin, which shone with a translucent beauty in the dim light. Her clear and cold eyes were enough to make anyone feel inferior at first glance.

However, this will not affect Mu Zhi'an, nor will it make him feel respect.

Even if Lan Mulian is a cultivator in the Refining God Realm and has a noble status, it's useless... He's an LSP.

Mu Zhian placed the box in front of him on the table, turned his head and smiled, "Yesterday I told my senior sister in the letter that I would invite you to try the osmanthus cake from Chaohai Inn, so I specially brought it to you today."

"By the way, have you read the letter, Senior Sister?"

"I didn't see it," Lan Mulian said calmly.

Mu Zhian glanced subconsciously at the torn paper crane on the table, pretending not to notice, then looked away and smiled, "This osmanthus cake tastes excellent, Senior Sister can try it."

Lan Mulian nodded slightly and said reservedly, "Let's leave it for now."

It seems I won't be able to see my senior sister's beauty under the veil... Mu Zhian couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

When he came to Yangfeng Inn, he thought that he would naturally lift the veil when Lan Mulian ate the osmanthus cake, so that he could see her beautiful face.

Unfortunately, the other party doesn't seem to have any intention of revealing their true self to others.

"By the way, this snow lotus seems to have withered. I'll replace it with a new one for my senior sister."

Mu Zhian noticed that the snow lotus in the bottle next to him had withered and died. As if by magic, he took out a snow lotus that exuded a faint fragrance and placed it in the bottle.

"It's a pity we didn't have the Luminous Soil, otherwise this flower could have been preserved for a few more months," Mu Zhian sighed with some regret.

Lan Mulian looked at the snow lotus in the vase, a hint of doubt appearing in her eyes for the first time. She asked, "Did you give me that snow lotus last time?"

Why does his tone make it sound like he was the one who gave me that snow lotus before?

If I remember correctly, wasn't that snow lotus placed here as a decoration by the waiter at Yangfeng Inn a few days ago?

How did it become a gift from him?

Mu Zhian turned to look at his senior sister, who was sitting upright, and said with a smile, "This snow lotus is only cultivated in a small pond in the Mu family. In Tianxuan City, I'm afraid only the Mu family has it. The snow lotus on the paper crane last time was a gift from me to my senior sister."

As he spoke, he seemed to recall something and continued, "Oh, I heard a couple of days ago that the owner of Yangfeng Inn was also cultivating some snow lotus artificially, but it is ultimately not as good as the snow lotus of Mu Mansion. At least in terms of fragrance, Mu Mansion's is still superior."

Lan Mulian's eyes flickered slightly. She stood up and walked gracefully to the table. Looking at the snow lotus that stood quietly in the bottle, which looked pure white and flawless, she lowered her head and sniffed it.

The subtle, minty scent wafting into my nostrils instantly invigorated me, making me feel much more alert.

Unlike the snow lotus that was placed in the inn last time... this snow lotus is even better in terms of fragrance and quality.

So here's the question... Mu Zhian said he sent a snow lotus with a paper crane last time.

So where has this snow lotus been sent now?

Lan Mulian's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had thought of something, and her eyes slowly widened a little.

Last time, she hadn't changed the position of the paper crane... In other words, that paper crane was flying towards the back mountain of the Liangyi Sect.

Did the snow lotus ultimately fall into the master's hands...?

Given Master's personality, what would happen if he received the snow lotus?

For some reason, a faint smile appeared on the delicate face of the cool beauty beneath the thin veil.

Mu Zhian couldn't help but glance at Lan Mulian a few more times. Her skin was like jade, her eyes were smiling, and her stunning beauty could be vaguely seen under the thin veil. She had a cool and aloof temperament, as well as a sense of mystery.

At that moment, Mu Zhian had an urge to remove the thin veil from her face.

However, considering that this would really lower my opinion of them, I held back.

At this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly noticed a thin booklet on the table. The booklet was open and had several names written on it.

Mu Zhian was very familiar with these names: Bai Ruoxi, Gongsun Cheng, Huang Manting, Ye Yu, and even Ye Lingxuan, etc.

Following each of these names are descriptions of their life experiences, which, while not detailed, are generally accurate.

Among these names, three are circled: Bai Ruoxi, Huang Manting, and Ye Lingxuan.

"Is this the person Senior Sister favors in this sect assessment?" Mu Zhi'an wondered to himself.

Bai Ruoxi goes without saying; since fusing with the bronze fragment, her strength has skyrocketed, and with the amplification from the Heavenly Dao Qi, she is now invincible among her peers.

Huang Manting has always been considered the second best after Gongsun Cheng, and is also the most outstanding among her peers.

Ye Lingxuan... This girl is a bit of a surprise. Apart from being pretty, I don't see anything particularly outstanding about her.

Her personality seems to be that of a young lady from a wealthy family... she's probably more than just a descendant of the Ye family.

And Ye Yu's name wasn't even circled... Could it be that the chosen one isn't working for Lan Mulian?

After glancing at it, Mu Zhian saw his own name under the dense text.

The introduction details his life story, and then adds a sentence at the end: "He's glib-tongued and a bit of a womanizer, so be careful."

Mu Zhian raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased.

He looked up and asked calmly, "Senior sister, where did you get this booklet? The details are so detailed, it doesn't seem like something that could be investigated in just a few days."

Lan Mulian glanced at him slightly and said calmly, "I have my own way."

Judging from his tone, he wasn't planning to go into details... Mu Zhian changed the subject, asking curiously, "The circled names represent the candidates you favor this time, right?"

"Isn't Ye Lingxuan only at the Qi Refining stage? Could it be that she has exceptional talent?"

Lan Mulian gave Mu Zhian a deep look and said, "Don't offend her."

"Do you know her?" Mu Zhian asked.

Lan Mulian shook her head: "I don't know her, but the elders specifically instructed that one of the people to be selected for the sect this time must be Ye Lingxuan."

Mu Zhian glanced at the introduction of Ye Lingxuan in the booklet. She seemed no different from an ordinary person. She grew up in the Ye family and entered the Qi Refining Realm before the age of fifteen. Apart from that, there was nothing special about her.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "The person who wrote this booklet has something to hide, so we can't believe everything we read."

Lan Mulian turned her head to look at him, and there seemed to be a hint of displeasure in her usually calm eyes.

Mu Zhian frowned and continued, "How could I be as bad as the booklet makes me out to be?"

What does it mean to be obsessed with beautiful women when you're young, and then learn to control your desires a little when you grow up, but you're still a little pervert at heart... What kind of writing is this?

Utter slander!

Unexpectedly, Lan Mulian glanced coldly at Mu Zhian and said, "If you have nothing else to say, then leave."

Why is she angry...? Mu Zhian said, "Senior sister, how about I take you to explore Tianxuan City in a couple of days? We agreed in our letter that I would take you out to play, but you've been staying in the inn and not going out. That won't do."

Lan Mulian gently shook her head: "I can't leave casually, it would cause unnecessary commotion."

Now all the cultivators in Tianxuan City know that Lan Mulian has come to Tianxuan City. Last time, it was fine because there weren't many people at the martial arts arena. But if she went to a place with more people, she would inevitably be pointed at and talked about.

She doesn't like too much attention being focused on her.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian glanced at Lan Mulian's obviously unhappy expression and could only nod and smile, "In that case, let's take Senior Sister around again next time we have the chance."

After finishing speaking, Mu Zhian left the guest room and had just entered the carriage when he noticed a tall, beautiful woman in a red cheongsam out of the corner of his eye.

She didn't have the slender figure of a young girl, but rather a plump and alluring figure like a ripe peach, which involuntarily drew people's attention to her.

"Strange... Why has Sister Feiying been coming to Yangfeng Inn so frequently these past two days?"

Mu Zhian watched Fei Ying walk into the inn until her figure disappeared from sight, then muttered to himself.

He shook his head slightly, no longer thinking about it, and climbed into the carriage. He leaned leisurely against the soft couch, the afternoon sun shining through the curtains. Mu Zhi'an squinted slightly in the breeze, looking very relaxed.

Now that everything has been taken care of, all he needs to do is wait patiently for the sect assessment to begin, and then enter the Liangyi Sect through the back door.

As for other things... they are just appetizers before the sect's assessment.

The carriage passed by the Chaohai Inn without him noticing. He slightly opened his eyes, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a young girl standing by the inn's door.

Her face, as pure and sweet as a first love, was exceptionally bright and captivating under the light. Her figure was slender and graceful, with a thin belt cinching her waist, which looked incredibly delicate. Her long hair swayed in the wind, giving her a classic beauty.

It was Ye Qian.

"Stop for a moment." Mu Zhian gestured for the driver to stop, then lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.

Not far away, Ye Qian, dressed in a light blue cardigan, stood by the inn's door, looking as if she were in a daze.

Just then, she suddenly felt a shadow creeping over her. She raised her head slightly, and when she saw the boy's face, she immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Mu, what are you doing here?"

"I happened to pass by here when I was out for a walk, and that's when I saw you. Thinking about it, maybe this is fate."

Mu Zhian glanced at the bustling crowd in the Chaohai Inn and chuckled, "What are you doing here on such a hot day, Miss Qian'er? Are you eating alone?"

Ye Qian looked up at Mu Zhian, and after a long while, nodded slightly: "This morning I told Sister Lingxuan that the osmanthus cake here is delicious, but she didn't believe me, so I wanted to bring some over for her to try, but..."

She glanced at the flow of people inside and couldn't help but sigh softly.

This Chaohai Inn is always very popular, and you can hardly buy their osmanthus cake without making a reservation in advance.

Ye Qian was obviously unaware of this, because in the past, it was always the servants of the Ye family who made the purchases; this was the first time she had come by herself.

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "Wait here for me."

Under Ye Qian's questioning gaze, Mu Zhian walked into the Chaohai Inn.

Not long after, Ye Qian saw him walk out of the inn carrying a box of osmanthus cakes and hand them to her.

Ye Qian blinked, glanced at Mu Zhi'an subconsciously, and asked, "Young Master Mu, how come you were able to buy osmanthus cake...?"

She had just asked the shop assistant, and the answer she received was that the items were sold out for the day.
