It turns out, they were the main characters.

However, the house, which was rather old and dilapidated, was quite lively at the moment.

The girl, dressed in a black dress and wearing black high heels, looked at the unconscious boy with a slight frown, seemingly quite dissatisfied.

Beside Huang Manting stood several elderly people. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that each of them bore some injuries, some more or less. It was said that they had offended someone when they were young, were chased and killed, and ended up as half-crippled. They then settled in this village, intending to live out their remaining years in peace.

Huang Manting couldn't bear it, so she asked her father to have the Morning Light Chamber of Commerce send supplies every month to prevent the elderly women and men with limited mobility from starving to death in the village.

For a long time, the village had been peaceful and uneventful.

However, with Huang Weifeng's appearance today, the future peace is likely to be shattered.

"Manting, don't be angry. Wei Feng grew up in the village. It's only right that he stays here to recover from his injury these past few days."

"Yes, although you are not blood siblings, you grew up together in the village."

Several elderly men spoke up, gently comforting Huang Manting.

Two days ago, after finishing her cultivation at the Liangyi Sect, Huang Manting overheard a disciple from a nearby sect mentioning that a young man had offended the Lan Clan and was subsequently taken away by a mysterious powerful figure.

Out of curiosity, she asked a few more questions, and after hearing about the other person's appearance and attire, Huang Manting was almost certain that this person was Huang Weifeng.

So she hurriedly returned to the village and confirmed her guess.

Huang Manting grew up in the village, while Huang Weifeng had already lost both parents and was occasionally cared for by the elderly in the village.

The children in the village got along well with each other, but after Mr. Huang's business started to improve, he moved out of the village, and Huang Manting's relationship with the children in the village became somewhat distant.

Despite the stale atmosphere, the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce has never neglected the village since its inception, and several elderly villagers have treated Huang Manting like their own granddaughter.

But now, Huang Weifeng has not only offended the Lan clan, but has also run back to this village.

If the Blue Clan discovers this... it will probably cause a lot of trouble for the village.

"Actually, it's not Wei Feng's fault. A celestial being saved him and brought him back to the village." An old woman spoke slowly and deliberately, her cloudy eyes glancing unintentionally at the lame old man beside her.

Huang Manting's eyes flickered slightly, clearly having heard about this incident, and she asked, "I heard that he was besieged by the Blue Clan, but a mysterious powerful figure intervened and saved him?"

The white-haired old man with a limp nodded and said, "I don't know where the deity came from to save him and bring him back to the village."

Huang Manting frowned slightly: "He also offended Mu Zhian, didn't he?"

"Who is Mu Zhian?" a boy in the village who didn't have internet access asked in confusion.

"The Azure Emperor recently held his wedding, and the man he married was Mu Zhi'an. Huang Weifeng offended him when he was in the Blue Clan, and I'm afraid he'll cause quite a bit of trouble later—"

Just as Huang Manting finished speaking, she suddenly heard a cry of pain.

She glanced over and saw Huang Weifeng wake up from his coma with a start, his eyes snapping open. He plopped down on the bed, panting heavily.

Then came confusion and gradually growing anger: "Where am I? How did I get here?"

"Where is Mu Zhian?!"

Seeing Huang Weifeng's 'stupid' appearance, several young men from the village laughed at him.

"Honestly, of all people to offend, he had to offend the Blue Clan. What if it affects the village in the future?"

"He's good for nothing but causing trouble. He was a complete waste of time in cultivation, incapable of doing anything right, and always caused trouble for the village..."

Huang Manting's brows furrowed slightly, a nameless anger rising within her.

He caused such a big mess, yet he acts like nothing happened. If it weren't for the presence of several elders from the village, she would have already taught him a lesson.

"I see... So I was in danger back then, and was saved by a mysterious powerful being?"

“Mu Zhian…it seems that he also has a powerful spiritual protection within him.”

Huang Weifeng murmured to himself, recalling the events of the past few days, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

I am the chosen one, the protagonist of this world, and I won't die so easily.

But who exactly is this Mu Zhian...? He can unleash power stronger than mine. I have to say, he truly deserves to be called a minor villain in the early stages.

"You are safe in the village. The Blue Clan will not notice you are here. From now on, you should continue to cultivate peacefully in the village."

Dao Chu Tianzun spoke gently. Although many people in the village did not want Huang Weifeng to stay in the village not long ago, he still insisted on protecting Huang Weifeng.

After all, he was an old acquaintance of Huang Weifeng's parents and had promised to take care of Huang Weifeng.

"I understand." Huang Weifeng nodded gently, never once apologizing for causing trouble for the village.

Firstly, they weren't worthy of his apology, and secondly, he didn't intend to stay in such a place.

After all, is there any hope of advancement for someone who cultivates in the village?

Without going out to gain experience and staying in this twilight village, one will never make progress.

"Young Master Huang, you've caused such a huge trouble for the village, don't you have anything to say?"

At this moment, Huang Manting finally couldn't bear it any longer. She raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at him casually.

As the daughter of a businessman, Huang Manting rarely offends people directly, but Huang Weifeng's attitude at the moment is something she really can't stand.

Seeing Huang Manting's outstanding appearance, Huang Weifeng was initially amazed, but then he noticed the unfriendly look in the black-dressed beauty's eyes, and his heart turned cold. He said indifferently, "I won't stay in the village for too long. I will leave on my own after my injuries have healed."

Huang Manting glanced at him coldly: "I hope so."

If it weren't for the presence of the village elders, she would have already exploded.

Dao Chu Tianzun watched this scene quietly, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh softly in secret.

The young people in the room looked at Huang Weifeng with even more disdain.

Not only is he arrogant, but he also has this attitude even after the village helped him. He's hopeless.

Huang Weifeng remained quite indifferent to these gazes.

Ultimately, having lived two lives and with the protection of a mysterious powerful being behind him, he naturally has no need to bother with these people now.

With a 'golden finger' and the protection of the Holy Light Qilin, reaching the pinnacle of this world is just a matter of time.

As for those who are mocking him today... just wait until they get their comeuppance.

Dao Chu Tianzun stared speechlessly at the boy's confident demeanor. As someone who had been through it all, he could tell that Huang Weifeng hadn't listened to his advice at all.

But since he's already done what he needed to do, whether he listens or not is up to him.

Compared to Huang Weifeng, this girl is much kinder... He looked at Huang Manting, feeling a bit sentimental.

Even without knowing their identities, they still maintained respect and even sent supplies to them every month... These old folks appreciated this kindness.

After giving Huang Weifeng a few more instructions, the group left the house, and several elders gathered together, chatting idly.

hum!

At that moment, everyone suddenly heard a buzzing sound. Several elderly people in the village reacted almost immediately and looked up in a certain direction to the south.

Dao Chu Tianzun's gaze narrowed slightly, and he said softly, "The God of the Ocean has fallen."

The old lady beside her said slowly, "When you offended the Azure Emperor in every way, you should have thought that this would be the outcome."

"With the death of the Ocean God, the Southern Wilderness will likely undergo a major reshuffle," an old man nearby said.

"If that's the case, the Azure Emperor will probably have to return to the Eastern Continent."

"The first Human Emperor to reach the Feathered Realm, I wonder what her next move is after she has cleared out the external enemies," Dao Chu Tianzun said quietly.

In his view, after the Azure Emperor ascended to heaven, he must be ambitious, and his next move would likely be to expand the influence of Yaochi, or even unify the Eastern Continent.

"No matter what, it has nothing to do with us old folks who have one foot in the grave."

An aged voice came from the side: "Don't forget why we chose to live in seclusion in the first place."

“Even so, we can’t completely ignore the changes in the outside world. Otherwise, if someone discovers this village one day, even if we want to live in seclusion, trouble will probably come knocking on our door,” an old man said.

"I think we can select a young man to gain experience outside. If there are any changes in the outside world in the future, we can learn something from him," said Dao Chu Tianzun.

“If that’s the case, then we must choose children with excellent character… I think Manting is a good choice,” the old lady said.

The elderly people remained silent for a moment, and finally, they all gave a soft "hmm".

"Observe for a while longer. If there are no problems, then choose her."

……

Blue tribe.

"I was so stupid... really..."

Mu Zhian stared unfocusedly at the ceiling, muttering to himself.

He only knew that Miss Linglong was an innocent and carefree foodie girl, but he never expected that she was a completely different person when she was in the state of karmic fire.

When Lin Ling didn't want to cultivate: Mu Zhian was without desire or ambition.

When I wanted to cultivate: Mu Zhian was obsessed with me.

This is a double standard dragon!

Upon realizing this, Mu Zhian became furious.

He turned his head and looked at the silver-haired beauty beside him.

“Aaa~”

She wrapped her arms around Mu Zhian's arm and rubbed her face against it affectionately, as if searching for a comfortable place to lean against.

With her eyes slightly closed, her long, curled eyelashes trembled gently, and her fair and flawless face was filled with happiness and contentment.

The abundant celestial spiritual energy within her body, combined with the alluring aura of the nine-tailed celestial fox, created an irresistible temptation for any female cultivator. Even Lin Ling, who had no interest in cultivation, found it to be a rare delicacy.

I wouldn't trade it for even a crane!

"..."

Mu Zhian stared at the scene in silence. After a long while, he could only sigh softly, gently pinch her plump waist, and gently touch Lin Ling, who seemed to have entered a 'dormant' period.

When suppressing karmic fire, Lin Ling often enters this dormant state, during which it is difficult for others to approach her, because she will use her verbal power to isolate anyone who tries to get close.

Mu Zhian gazed at the sleeping silver-haired beauty, gently covered her with the blanket to conceal her snow-white skin, and then found an empty spot to sit cross-legged.

He was still very concerned about the runes he had seen on the measuring rod yesterday.

For some reason, he felt that the runes looked particularly familiar, especially the green rune that emitted a bluish light last night.

Those runes could turn back time... Mu Zhian felt a sense of déjà vu about this Dao.

Mu Zhian took out the Heavenly Court Ring that the first Demon Emperor had accidentally obtained in the past from his storage ring, and instantly entered the Heavenly Court with his spiritual consciousness.
