It turns out, they were the main characters.

"They know my identity, so they settled me in a guest room... I was originally thinking of finding a way to rescue Young Master Mu, but it seems that the princess and Young Master Mu have a good relationship," Lin Keyu said.

But this time, there was a hint of disappointment in his tone, which made people feel a little sorry for him.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian's heart softened as well, and he was about to speak.

Just then, Luo Tan suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?" and whispered, "Mysterious Yin Body?"

"Has Your Majesty also heard of the Xuan Yin Physique?" Mu Zhi'an asked telepathically.

Luo Tan gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Alchemy emphasizes Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. Fire is Yang, and high-level natural treasures are usually difficult to refine, so they need to be refined with spiritual fire... But there is also a problem, that is, the temperature of spiritual fire is difficult to control, and sometimes the medicinal materials are refined to death while refining."

"Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is necessary to manually control the temperature of the spiritual fire. A good cauldron is the key to alchemy, but controlling the temperature is also of paramount importance... The Xuan Yin Body is born with the most Yin constitution in the world, and the owner of this constitution can often control the temperature of the spiritual fire on his own."

"This is a promising talent for alchemy," Luo Tan said with a hint of admiration.

Mu Zhian understood the implication in Luo Tan's words, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then how about we consider taking her as our disciple?"

The Alchemy Empress rolled her eyes at the young man, exuding charm: "Do you really think my Yuzhou is some kind of shelter? You want to shove all sorts of people into my place. Last time it was your family's guest, and this time you want to shove your little lover into my place too."

She paused, then continued, "But if she's willing, I'm willing to make an exception and take her as my disciple, allowing her to stay in the Yuzhou Imperial Palace for a period of time."

"Does this mean His Majesty has also begun to appreciate talent?" Mu Zhian couldn't help but laugh.

Luo Tan lazily stroked the boy's face with her fingertips, her eyes full of affection: "Of course I cherish talent, but more importantly, it's because you are the one making the request."

She lifted the sheet, and a blinding white light enveloped her delicate body. The next moment, her elegant white dress quietly covered her sexy figure, and her long, flowing hair cascaded down, slightly disheveled and languid.

As expected of a wealthy and sophisticated woman, even her dress was made of some special, top-quality silk. No wonder she always seemed to have a faint, pleasant fragrance... perhaps it was because of this dress.

Mu Zhian sighed inwardly: Sister, I don't want to try anymore.

"Young Master Mu, since you have something to say, I'll head back now."

Just then, a girl's voice, tinged with disappointment, came from outside the door, followed by the sound of her footsteps as she turned and left.

Mu Zhian glanced at Luo Tan, and under the woman's teasing gaze, called out towards the door, "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

……

After a short while, Mu Zhian left the boudoir and soon caught up with the sickly girl who was about to leave.

"Is there anything else, Young Master Mu?"

The girl turned around and looked at him. Her voice was soft and fragile, without a trace of the arrogance one would expect from a young lady.

Her long, smooth hair fell naturally down, and she gazed at him with a pair of beautiful eyes as clear as the sky.

The girl's appearance evokes the image of a finely crafted doll, petite and delicate.

If this were modern times, she would clearly be a high school student, but her petite figure gives the impression of someone who has just started junior high school.

This is the inconvenience that the Xuan Yin Body brings to the girl named Lin Keyu. Although she possesses the strongest physique in the world, even if she embarks on the path of cultivation, she will still get fevers and colds like an ordinary person, and this feeling of weakness accompanies her at all times.

Mu Zhian gave a gentle smile: "Let me take you back. You're weak, and it's not convenient for you to go back alone."

The moonlight shone on the girl's slightly pale, beautiful face, and the scattered silver light added to her fragility.

Lin Keyu glanced at Mu Zhian in surprise, then lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement.

The two strolled under the peach trees, the moonlight hazy, and before they knew it, they were almost at the bedroom where guests were entertained.

At this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly said, "Miss Lin's constitution has been like this since she was a child. Has your father ever said if there is any way to restore your constitution?"

Lin Keyu gently shook her head: "Father once said that the Reincarnation Water can allow a person's physique to advance once, and perhaps it can also allow the Xuan Yin Body to evolve... but there are also some risks involved."

"Because it's uncertain whether the evolved Xuan Yin Body will evolve in a positive direction or become worse."

After all, the Xuan Yin Body is different from other physiques; its negative effects are too obvious. If it evolves again... will it become even weaker, or will it evolve in a positive direction?

Nobody can say for sure right now.

“Yao Meng and the Empress of Yuzhou are old acquaintances. Miss Lin, would you be interested in making a trip to Yuzhou after this? With the extensive knowledge of the Medicine Emperor, perhaps he can help you resolve the troubles of the Xuan Yin Body,” Mu Zhian suddenly said.

Lin Keyu glanced at him silently and shook her head gently: "Never mind... It would feel a little awkward to ask the Azure Emperor for help because of my matter."

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "Actually, it's not that troublesome. You just need to tell Yao Meng."

Upon hearing this, Lin Keyu couldn't help but chuckle: "How long does Young Master Mu intend to keep this from me?"

"Actually, I know that Young Master Mu and the Azure Emperor's grand wedding in Holy King City was just a cover-up," she continued.

"When the Azure Emperor ascended to heaven, she was destined to be watched by countless people. At that time, only by using that grand wedding to confuse the public could she have a chance to ascend smoothly."

"So Young Master Mu was forced to sacrifice his innocence just to help Senior Qingdi with his ascension tribulation? That's what my father also guessed."

She seemed to have guessed correctly, but not entirely... Mu Zhian was silent for a while before saying, "Senior Medicine Emperor is familiar with countless kinds of pills. Perhaps she will be able to refine a pill to suppress your Xuan Yin Qi in the future. Moreover, she has always admired you and considers you a rare talent."

"If I go to Yuzhou, will I still be able to see Young Master Mu?" Lin Keyu asked.

While the prospect of learning alchemy from the Medicine King was certainly tempting, her biggest concern was whether she could still see Mu Zhi'an once she arrived in Yuzhou.

Mu Zhian nodded and said, "Actually, I have been learning alchemy techniques from the Medicine Emperor during this time, and I will naturally go to Yuzhou afterward."

A faint smile appeared on the girl's face, and she said softly, "Okay, let's go then."

"But will Senior Medicine King really agree? Will she be very strict?" She asked with a hint of worry in her voice, lowering her head slightly.

"Young Master Mu, I am very scared."

Mu Zhian couldn't help but reach out and pat the girl's head gently, saying in a warm voice, "Senior Medicine Emperor is a person who cherishes talent, so she won't mistreat you."

Lin Keyu couldn't help but close her eyes slightly. Just as she had thought, the boy's hands were warm and had a magical power that made people feel inexplicably at ease.

She looked up to observe Mu Zhi'an's expression, then took a small step closer and gently rested her forehead against Mu Zhi'an's chest.

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, then naturally pulled the girl into his arms and looked down at her sickly, pale face.

With her slightly pale lips, soft and delicate body, and slender, slightly cool hands, Lin Keyu was probably the most frail and petite of all the girls Mu Zhian had ever known.

Mu Zhian reached out and put his arm around the slender waist of the sickly and beautiful girl, and the girl let him hold her, pressing her forehead against his chest.

Seemingly under his comforting words, the girl's initially uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

But when she inadvertently looked up at the boy's handsome face, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

……

At this moment, Ye Lingxuan was on her way back to her boudoir.

She had even planned out how to stop the conflict between the reincarnated empress and Luo Tan, fully demonstrating the composure and calmness of a 'palace master' in strategizing.

However, at that moment, she suddenly felt a figure gracefully appear beside her.

Reincarnated Empress.

Ye Lingxuan turned her head and looked over, surprised, "You... how did you get here?"

At this point, the girl suddenly realized something and said, "Oh... I see. Have you already given up on the idea of ​​winning over Brother Mu?"

"I told you long ago, Brother Mu isn't someone who's so easily won over—"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the Reincarnated Empress looked at her young mistress with a puzzled expression and said, "Mu Zhian has already agreed to that condition, so there is no need for me to stay there any longer."

Ye Lingxuan was taken aback: "You mean..."

The Reincarnated Empress continued, "He has promised to stay by your side, Miss, and assist you until you successfully ascend to the throne of the Forbidden Zone Empress, so I am leaving."

"Brother Mu agreed to stay?" Ye Lingxuan asked with a hint of surprise and delight.

But soon, Ye Lingxuan realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute... Didn't you encounter the Medicine King when you came out just now?"

The Reincarnated Empress asked in confusion, "The Medicine Queen? She's also here to see Mu Zhi'an?"

She had barely finished speaking when she noticed a change in Ye Lingxuan's expression.

Without saying a word, she headed towards her bedroom.

According to the girl's original plan, she was supposed to have the Medicine King disturb the Reincarnation Empress's good deed, so that she would win the bet between the master and servant.

However... the Reincarnated Empress did not see the Medicine Emperor when she left!

The plan was completely disrupted.

The girl had just returned to her bedroom when she saw Mu Zhian escorting Lin Keyu out of the bedroom. He noticed the girl's gaze, looked up at her, and then smiled, "Lingxuan, have you finished everything?"

"Ah."

Ye Lingxuan nodded with mixed feelings, then tentatively asked, "Is Brother Mu alright? Senior Medicine King said he had something important to discuss with you, so I had someone bring her here."

"It's nothing...she just brought me the Refining Void Pill." Mu Zhi'an shook his head and smiled, but his heart was filled with complicated feelings.

I never imagined that my little sister Lingxuan would have that kind of hobby... As he thought this, he looked at the classically elegant girl in the purple dress with a strange expression.

At this moment, Mu Zhian still thought that this innocent-looking girl was someone who liked being cheated on...

"Has she left?" Ye Lingxuan asked, completely unaware of the situation.

“She said she was going to the Heavenly Immortal Palace to say goodbye to your mother and then planned to go back, since she has other matters to attend to in Yuzhou tomorrow,” Mu Zhian said.

"Senior Medicine King is so busy." Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Since you're so busy, you can't possibly have the leisure to do anything with Brother Mu, can you?

Moreover, this is also her bedroom.

After relaxing, Ye Lingxuan's attention quickly fell on the pill in Mu Zhian's hand, and she asked, "Brother Mu, when do you plan to break through to the Enlightenment Realm?"

"If it's in a restricted area, it can avoid a lot of trouble."

After all, there are rules and restrictions in the restricted area. Even if the secret of the innate furnace is exposed later, the powerful figures in Kyushu will only take action after Mu Zhi'an leaves the restricted area.

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and said, "The Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill only lasts for seven days. After seven days, the effect will quickly wear off. I can't wait for Senior Spirit Dragon to ascend to immortality. I'll make some preparations tomorrow and start."

Ye Lingxuan gave a soft "hmm" and was about to continue speaking.

But just then, she suddenly sensed pink smoke drifting from afar.

The smoke was as ethereal as clouds, yet it was filled with an aura of extreme power and violence.

"Huh? She actually did it?"

Suddenly, a woman's languid and charming voice echoed in Mu Zhian's mind, but there was an unusual hint of envy in her voice.

Nine-tailed Celestial Fox.

"Your Majesty, do you know where the commotion just now came from?" Mu Zhi'an asked in his heart.

"Are you an idiot? With such a strong demonic aura, who else in this world could it be but her?" the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox lazily rebuked.
