It turns out, they were the main characters.

Mu Zhian poured her a glass of water and said, "Drink some water. You need to drink some water to replenish your fluids after cultivation."

Just now, Mu Zhian and Bai Ruoxi had a close conversation in the room. Mu Zhian explained why he was at the auction house with the Ye sisters today. Bai Ruoxi was no longer as angry as she had been at the beginning.

Bai Ruoxi nodded reservedly, one hand covering her collar to conceal her graceful figure, the other hand taking the water glass. After taking a small sip, she suddenly sighed with worry, looked up at him, and said:

"Mulang, will you be upset that I was so aggressive today, calling you that in front of other women?"

"Now, Senior Sister and the Ye family sisters are probably angry with you. And what if Senior Sister remembers us because of this during the sect assessment later?"

"Senior sister is so scary."

Mu Zhian gently placed his warm palm on Bai Ruoxi's slender hand, gazed into her eyes, and said softly, "What happened today was just a misunderstanding. I'll talk to my senior sister about it in a couple of days when I have time. She'll understand."

"As for Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian... I just told you, I only regard them as my younger sisters."

Bai Ruoxi's eyes flickered slightly, and her eyes were filled with deep apology.

She raised her eyes, her small mouth slightly open, and said, "I'm sorry, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Zhian pulled Bai Ruoxi into his arms, gazing down at the beauty in his embrace, and said:

"Stop talking, let's just let this matter rest."

In the dim light, the beauty's cherry lips were slightly pursed, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes were moist.

Their eyes met, and Mu Zhian gently placed his hand on her cheek, saying softly, "Come back to the Mu residence with me later, Ruoxi."

Bai Ruoxi lowered her eyes shyly and softly hummed in agreement.

The last trace of resentment he felt towards Mu Zhian vanished completely.

"But why 'later'...?" Bai Ruoxi suddenly sensed that something was off about Mu Zhian's words.

"It's nice to stay a little longer in a different environment," Mu Zhian said.

Seeing that Bai Ruoxi didn't understand, Mu Zhian leaned close to her ear and whispered something again.

Bai Ruoxi blushed slightly, feigning annoyance and glaring at Mu Zhian, before softly humming in agreement.

Mu Zhian's brows relaxed, he got up, blew out the candle, and went to bed.

……

The next morning, Mu Zhian woke up refreshed and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Bai Ruoxi.

The two exchanged a glance and then smiled knowingly.

"I'll wait for you outside," Mu Zhian said softly, then lifted the covers and left the room.

Not long after, Bai Ruoxi, who had changed into a white dress and applied a little makeup, pushed open the door and walked out of the room.

She looked at Mu Zhian, who stood tall and straight in front of the courtyard, stepped forward, took his arm, and said with a gentle smile, "Mu Lang, let's go."

She's figured it out after last night.

Whether Mu Zhian is actually thinking about other people is not important.

Among the Ye sisters, Ye Lingxuan is of superior appearance, but her breasts are not large. Ye Qian has large breasts, but her appearance is slightly inferior to her sister's. However, Ye Qian's pure and lovely personality is quite attractive.

As for my senior sister...

After last night, with Mu Zhian's help, Bai Ruoxi felt that she was extremely close to the peak of Qi Refining.

At this rate, she will definitely be able to advance to the Refining Spirit Realm before the sect's assessment.

Even if I can't defeat my senior sister by then, I can still take Mu Lang away... and keep him by my side forever.

Mu Zhian always thought Bai Ruoxi was a little white rabbit, but he never expected that this little white rabbit was gradually evolving into a big white rabbit in terms of body and mind.

He took Bai Ruoxi back to the Mu residence, and then strolled with her in the courtyard for a while before escorting her back to her room.

Then, he went straight to the study, opened a drawer, took out a paper crane, and wrote a letter for Lan Mulian.

Some things were not appropriate to say at the auction house before, because there were too many people there, and no matter which side Mu Zhian favored, it would cause an uproar among the others.

But privately, they said it was fine even if you talked a lot of nonsense.

After writing the paper crane, Mu Zhian did not stop there. Instead, he took out another piece of paper, wrote an invitation, and handed it to the spy.

"Send this letter to the Ye residence, and make sure it reaches Ye Lingxuan." Mu Zhian handed the envelope to the secret agent.

The spy bowed his head in agreement, then turned and quietly left the study.

He wasn't worried that the Ye sisters wouldn't read the letter. They left in a hurry yesterday, and no matter what Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian were thinking, subconsciously they would still want to hear Mu Zhian's explanation.

Even without this reason, given Ye Lingxuan's personality, she would definitely want to return the two thousand spirit stones to Mu Zhian.

In the end, it was all thanks to Ye Yu… Mu Zhian looked up at the scenery outside the window and sighed inwardly.

If Ye Yu hadn't borrowed those two thousand spirit stones from Ye Lingxuan, he might not have been able to arrange a meeting with her today.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the Ye residence.

Ye Lingxuan sat in the Ye family's courtyard early in the morning, propping her cheek up and staring blankly at the letter in her hand.

This letter was just delivered by the eldest son of the Mu family.

To be honest, she didn't dislike Mu Zhi'an. Even when she heard yesterday that Bai Ruoxi and he were cultivating together, she was only surprised, thinking things like, "The number one beauty in Tianxuan City has actually been won over by this Mu Zhi'an."

But to say I was angry, I wasn't really that angry.

In the end, how could Ye Lingxuan be angry that she went to the trouble of refusing Bai Ruoxi and Senior Sister Lan's invitations to come see them?

Should I accept it or not...?

Thinking of this, Ye Lingxuan looked up at Ye Qian, who had been sitting silently beside her, and asked in a clear and pleasant voice, "Qian'er, Young Master Mu has invited us to sit at a teahouse near the arena today. Would you like to go?"

Ye Qian snapped out of her reverie, looked up at her sister, and asked absentmindedly, "Where's my sister?"

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly and said softly, "I need to return the two thousand spirit stones I owed him yesterday, so I should go."

Ye Qian secretly glanced at Ye Lingxuan, who exuded an elegant temperament, and whispered, "Sister, you can just have the servants give him the spirit stones, right?"

Ye Lingxuan shook her head: "One thing at a time, I want to thank you in person."

"If you don't want to go, just wait for me at home today. I'll be back soon," Ye Lingxuan continued.

Ye Qian's pure and pretty face showed a hint of struggle. For no apparent reason, the warmth of that hand from yesterday flashed through her mind. She gently gripped the hem of her skirt with her small hand, and finally, as if making a decision, said:

"I'll go take a look too..."

After that, I never saw him again.

Ye Qian silently made up her mind.

After discussing it, the two put away the letter written by Mu Zhian and set off to leave the Ye residence.

"Strange... Why did Lingxuan and the others leave so early today?"

Not far behind, Ye Yu watched the two sisters' departing figures, his brows furrowed, a strange unease creeping into his heart, and he followed closely behind.

Inside the teahouse.

Mu Zhian sat in a bright and airy tea room, with a window beside him. Looking down through the window, he could see the fighting arena below.

A closer look reveals that the seat he is sitting in is the same tea room where the sisters Lan Mulian and Lan Feiying were last time.

"The view from this teahouse is indeed too good. It seems that my little tricks with Ruoxi in front of the dueling platform last time were indeed seen by my senior sister."

Looking down from the tea room at the young cultivators who were still sparring in twos and threes, Mu Zhian took a sip of tea and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He always felt that he was not particularly lucky. The teahouse had such a good view that even the locals of Tianxuan City might not know about it. How could his senior sister have accidentally come to this teahouse?

Furthermore, given her personality, after I gave her the Luminous Soil, she shouldn't have had any desire to go to the auction house... but she still went anyway.

It's really quite strange.

Does being a 'supporting character' mean you deserve to have worse luck than normal people?

Mu Zhian raised his hand and opened his personal profile.

Suddenly, I noticed that the font color on the side character had changed again. This time, the font color had turned into a light pink, and the square even had a faint heart shape.

"As expected, my guess was right. Every time Ye Yu's luck as the chosen one is weakened, my role as a supporting character will decrease."

Mu Zhian muttered to himself, "But the problem is, even if I strip Ye Yu of his protagonist status, or rather, wipe out all his luck, can I change my supporting character status to protagonist status?"

As a supporting character, Mu Zhian is born with worse luck than others. Even though he is talented, he always encounters some unlucky things. After all, his initial existence was just a stepping stone for the protagonist.

Only when Ye Yu falls from power will his luck gradually improve.

Winning over Bai Ruoxi and the Ye sisters are both ways to weaken Ye Yu's status as the protagonist.

Of course, Mu Zhian himself was also interested in this.

Being able to combine one's tasks with one's interests is actually a pretty good thing.

However... even if Ye Yu's luck is completely depleted, will his "supporting role" character's writing change?

Or will the term "supporting role" simply disappear?

Or will "Heaven's Way" choose a new "Chosen One" as the protagonist?

Mu Zhian picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and shook his head to himself: "If that's the case, wouldn't I have to keep fighting with the 'protagonist' all the time?"

But it doesn't really matter, since there are so many things to exploit from each main character.

If you take advantage of the abundant resources, you might just eventually advance to the Dao Integration Realm.

dong dong.

A soft knock came from outside, followed by a melodious voice like a lark's: "Young Master Mu, is it convenient for us to come in now?"

It's Ye Lingxuan.

"You've arrived quite early..." Mu Zhi'an pondered for a moment and said, "Please come in."

As Mu Zhi'an pushed open the door, a delicate fragrance seemed to waft towards him. Looking up, he saw Ye Qian holding Ye Lingxuan's arm in arm.

These two sisters are quite different; one is serene and elegant, the other is pure and lovely.

In terms of looks, Ye Lingxuan will definitely be a stunning beauty in the future. It's just a little regrettable that her chest is a bit small. But the girl's delicate and charming face, and even the glimpse of her fair skin revealed by her small ankle boots, can make people subconsciously overlook her flaws.

As long as it's pretty, that's enough.
