It turns out, they were the main characters.

One trip to the auction house caused his career to collapse across all three fronts.

Fortunately, the matter of Xue Lian has not been discovered yet, otherwise even if Sister Meng Rou came, she wouldn't be able to save me... Mu Zhian sighed inwardly, but also felt a little bit of relief.

This trip to the auction house seems perilous, but as long as he can leave this place temporarily, he has a way to make up for what happened today... provided that he can leave the auction house smoothly now.

This is not a difficult thing for Mu Zhian now, since on the surface he is only in a Daoist couple relationship with Bai Ruoxi, and if he wants to leave, the other girls will not say anything.

It seems he's wasted his goodwill towards the Ye sisters, and Senior Sister Lan probably won't pay him any attention anytime soon.

"Since there are important matters to attend to at the manor, and the auction is almost over, I won't stay any longer."

Mu Zhian coughed lightly: "Ahem... We'll meet another day."

Just as Mu Zhian had expected, no one spoke up to stop them.

If everyone's favorability rating were the same as Bai Ruoxi's today, then it probably wouldn't be so easy to leave... Mu Zhian didn't know whether he should be glad or reflect on whether he hadn't raised his favorability rating fast enough.

Led by the maid, he left the private room and saw Ye Yu standing outside.

Upon seeing Mu Zhian, Ye Yu revealed a cold smile and mocked him without reservation: "It seems that Young Master Mu's usual philandering ways have finally come to an end."

Mu Zhian was in a bad mood today and didn't want to talk to him.

That's all we can do for now... Seeing this, Ye Yu chuckled inwardly, looked at the Ye sisters who came out of the private room, and stepped forward, saying:

"Lingxuan, shall I take you back?"

After this incident, Ye Yu finally felt a sense of crisis, realizing that if he didn't take action soon, his younger sister might be kidnapped.

However, Ye Lingxuan, holding her sister's hand, politely but coldly refused, "No need to trouble Brother Ye Yu, the carriage is already waiting at the door."

Even though Mu Zhian's matter made her very unhappy today, Ye Yu's actions were even more detestable.

Ultimately, it's quite heartening that Mu Zhian went to the trouble of turning down invitations from two beautiful women to attend this event.

The only problem is that he and Bai Ruoxi were practicing dual cultivation, and that number one beauty was attacking them head-on, which made them extremely unhappy.

At the same time, Lan Mulian also walked out of the private room. She glanced coldly at Ye Yu and gracefully walked down the steps, lifting her skirt.

But instead of leaving, he went backstage at the auction.

Lan Feiying was already waiting there.

……

The carriage slowly made its way along the street toward the Mu residence. Mu Zhian leaned against the soft couch, contemplating life.

Wearing a yellow dress, Wei Mengrou sat on the other side, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, her skin was like jade, and under the hem of her dress were a pair of small boots embroidered with patterns. She was looking at the scenery outside the window.

“If this happens again, I won’t help you anymore,” she suddenly said.

Wei Mengrou's face remained expressionless and indifferent throughout, after all, the maid knew perfectly well what her young master had done.

"Did Ruoxi arrange for someone to send her back?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

Bai Ruoxi is currently in a bad mood and will definitely not agree to ride in the same carriage with him, so they can only return in two separate carriages.

Wei Mengrou gave a faint "hmm" and said, "However, she may not return to the Mu residence."

If Bai Ruoxi doesn't come back, it means she's really angry, and then I'll probably have to go to the Bai residence... Mu Zhian looked at the maid's high breasts and her cool and beautiful profile, and couldn't help but think to himself.

At this moment, Wei Mengrou's lips curled up slightly, and her clear, cold voice mocked mercilessly: "After this, you'll be all alone again."

“Even if I’m all alone, I still have you, don’t I?” Mu Zhi’an shook his head and smiled.

Wei Mengrou scoffed, her face expressionless, even letting out a disdainful laugh.

She leaned lazily against the soft couch of the carriage, her beautiful eyes reflecting the street scenery moving backward outside the window.

After a long pause, she lowered her eyes slightly, making it impossible to discern her true feelings.

Upon returning to the Mu residence, Mu Zhian alighted from the carriage and reached out to help Wei Mengrou, but the maidservant merely glanced at him before getting off the carriage alone.

Mu Zhian didn't mind at all. Looking at the maid's plump and alluring figure, he smiled and said, "Sister Mengrou, we really owe you a lot this time."

Ultimately, it was already quite commendable that Wei Mengrou was willing to help under those circumstances.

After all, her job was to protect Mu Zhian's life, not to help him out of trouble.

Wei Mengrou looked at the rather handsome young man with the same disdain she would give an insect, and said indifferently, "This is the last time."

She paused, then continued, "Just now, the way they looked at me was already a bit hostile."

Even cultivators at the Refining Spirit Realm found it difficult to withstand that kind of gaze.

Fortunately, it was Wei Mengrou who spoke up. She had always given the impression of being a dutiful "maid," so even if people had doubts, they would believe her to some extent, which prevented them from making things difficult for her.

"It's alright. If they really have any hostility towards you, I can protect you," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Wei Mengrou glanced at Mu Zhian.

"I'm afraid you'll be tied up and put in a dark room before you can protect me."

Mu Zhian chuckled and said, "That's not the case. Neither Ruoxi nor Senior Sister are that kind of people. As for the Ye family sisters... that's even more impossible."

To be honest, if Wei Mengrou hadn't shown up, he would have had to rely on that idiot Ye Yu outside to save himself... but that would have been a last resort.

"Are you still planning to go out?" Wei Mengrou suddenly realized that Mu Zhian had no intention of returning to the mansion, and couldn't help but ask.

“If Ruoxi stays at the Bai residence, it will affect her cultivation. If she hasn’t returned by the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I will go to the Bai residence,” Mu Zhian said.

Wei Mengrou said coldly, "If she locks you up in the Bai residence, I will not save you."

"Don't worry, I know Ruoxi's personality very well."

As Mu Zhi'an spoke, he reached out to grasp the maid's slender hand, but she dodged him even faster, looking at him with disdain: "Don't touch me."

If, in the future, a helpless maidservant were to utter these words with a look of disgust and tears welling up in her eyes, well... that scene would be impossible not to look forward to.

Mu Zhian shook his head gently, temporarily dispelling the bold ideas in his mind, and looked up with a smile: "Sister Mengrou, you go back to the manor first, I'll be right back."

Actually, if I had to say, this crisis wasn't all bad.

This has at least planted a seed of doubt in the hearts of the girls. They have now come to a deeper understanding of the fact that Mu Zhian is a "scumbag". In other words, if a situation like today were to happen again in the future, it would not be completely out of control.

...That's the only way I can console myself.

Mu Zhian sighed, got into the carriage, waited for a while, and after confirming that Bai Ruoxi had not returned to the Mu residence, he waved his hand and told the driver to go to the Bai residence.

……

Evening, dusk.

Bai Ruoxi sat alone in her boudoir, gazing at the desolate courtyard outside the window. A hint of girlish melancholy graced her face. Her white dress, combined with her naturally delicate demeanor, made one want to hold her in their arms and cherish her, or perhaps tease her a little. Seeing the shy blush on this aloof beauty's face added a unique charm to the scene.

She was lying on the table, her delicate white feet, wrapped in small white socks, dangling from under her skirt.

"Ugh."

The beautiful woman sighed softly, looking melancholy, and muttered to herself, "Perhaps I shouldn't have been so lenient with him."

She thought that with her charm, Mu Zhian would know how to be content, but today she not only went to meet Huang Manting, but also had an affair with the Ye family sisters.

Moreover, even the examiner seemed to have some connection with him.

"Right now I'm only at the Qi Refining stage. Once I reach the Spirit Refining stage, I'll have the strength to compete with my senior sister."

"If I ever reach the Void Returning Realm in the future, hmph..."

Silently imagining herself suppressing other girls after reaching the Void Returning Realm, Bai Ruoxi felt a little better.

She was quite confident in her current talent; at least for now, Bai Ruoxi was invincible among her peers. If she focused on cultivation, it wouldn't be impossible for her to advance to the Void Returning Realm in the future.

Thinking of this, Bai Ruoxi was about to close the window.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, she looked directly at a corner outside the window and said in a clear but cold voice, "Young Master Mu, what brings you to the Bai family?"

Although her tone was indifferent, her eyes sparkled with the joy of a little girl, though she forced herself not to show it.

Standing outside Bai Ruoxi's room was none other than Mu Zhi'an, who had just arrived at the Bai residence.

He went to the window, looked up at Bai Ruoxi in her boudoir, and said with a smile, "Ruoxi, it's not safe to cultivate in the Bai residence. Come back with me."

Bai Ruoxi was well aware that cultivating at the Bai residence would expose Bai Yuanfeng's demonic aura.

But her expression remained aloof and indifferent, as if she had returned to the time when she first met Mu Zhi'an, and she said calmly, "Young Master Mu, please go back. I will not cultivate today, and it is fine even if I am at the Bai residence."

After saying that, she ignored him, closed the window, and went back to her room.

Mu Zhian sighed helplessly and said, "Ruoxi, there may be some misunderstanding between us. I originally wanted to explain it to you today. But since you still refuse to see me, I will come to see you again in a few days."

"Ugh."

After saying that, he sighed softly, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Just then, Mu Zhian took a step out and suddenly noticed that Bai Ruoxi's door was gently pushed open a crack.

The door was closed just now.

Sure enough, there was hope... Mu Zhian was secretly delighted, quietly pushed open the door, and went into the room.

……

That night.

Outside, starlight dotted the night sky. In a room of the Bai residence, Mu Zhi'an covered his mouth and yawned, clearly feeling very sleepy.

Although one is a cultivator, to stay up all night without feeling tired, one must at least reach the Refining Spirit Realm.

Moreover, he has two cultivation furnaces within his body, one for cultivation and the other for others to cultivate.

He got up, groped in the dark, grabbed the water glass on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did he feel his thirst relieved a little.

Bai Ruoxi was wrapped in a plain-colored robe and lay half-reclined on the bed. Two long, slender, snow-white legs could be vaguely seen under the robe, with a thin black ribbon tied around one of her ankles.

According to Bai Ruoxi, the thin ribbon seemed to have been obtained by her father from some secret realm and had the effect of "protection".

Noticing Mu Zhian's gaze, Bai Ruoxi bit her lip lightly, lowered her eyelids slightly, and revealed a hint of shyness and annoyance in her cold temperament.

She was still very angry when she returned to the Bai residence, and she was even angrier when she saw Mu Zhian.

But when she saw Mu Zhian sighing and wanting to leave, Bai Ruoxi finally softened... and even let him in.

Bai Ruoxi, clutching her long robe to conceal her graceful figure, walked to Mu Zhian's side.
