It turns out, they were the main characters.

At that moment, thoughts flashed through Ye Qian's mind. Then, listening to the soft voice that was faintly drifting from the room, for some reason, as if she had thought of something, her heart started pounding faster, and a strange sense of excitement welled up inside her.

The girl held her breath and walked gracefully to the door in her deerskin boots, while the sounds from inside became clearer.

It was indeed Brother Mu!

A hint of joy flashed in the girl's eyes; she hadn't expected Brother Mu to be here.

Judging from their appearance, they must have come to see their master...

Perhaps it would be better for her not to disturb her master right now...

Thinking of this, Ye Qian hesitated for a moment at the door, then suddenly said softly, "Master, if you have something else to do, I'd like to come see you later."

"Is that Qian'er?"

A languid, sweet voice came from inside the room, and then the woman continued leisurely, "Come in, it's alright."

Ye Qian's heart stirred slightly, and she hesitated at the door.

After an unknown amount of time, as if she had made up her mind, she gently pushed open the door.

Time is completely frozen here, so no one can perceive it.

But there are always exceptions.

For example, a powerful being at the Dao Integration Realm can detect the unusual changes here.

At this very moment, a woman stands suspended in mid-air above this sleeping chamber, taking in everything that is happening.

Reincarnated Empress.

She silently gazed at the palace where the Azure Emperor resided, and after a short while, quietly turned and left.

A spatial rift suddenly opened in front of her, and the woman stepped into it, only to find herself back beside her mistress in the next instant.

A young girl in a purple dress was sitting in front of a bronze mirror, combing her hair. Her back was straight, and she had an elegant demeanor. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and she had the air of a classical beauty.

In fact, Ye Lingxuan rarely dressed up deliberately in the past. With her youthful appearance, she was already stunning even without makeup.

However, Mu Zhian has come to the restricted area during this time... In front of his beloved Mu-gege, he should at least dress himself up a little, right?

"I rarely see you go out alone. Is something wrong tonight?"

Ye Lingxuan sat in front of the dressing table and looked at the tall, aloof woman in the bronze mirror, asking a question.

The Reincarnated Empress said calmly, "I was a little worried when I saw Young Master Mu go out tonight, so I went out with him to check on him earlier."

“There are rules in the restricted area. Unless Brother Mu accidentally breaks the rules, he will definitely be safe. It’s good to let him go out and relax. Brother Mu has been in my room for the past two days. He must be very bored.”

Ye Lingxuan paused, then asked calmly, "Is there any movement from the Azure Emperor's side?"

The Reincarnated Empress hesitated for a moment, looking at her young mistress's beautiful back, and said tentatively, "The Azure Emperor is doing well... She's probably instructing your younger sister on some things..."

"Why 'possibly'? Did you not see it with your own eyes?"

Ye Lingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly, glancing at the Reincarnated Empress with some surprise: "You rarely talk about such uncertain things before. Could it be that you're just guessing as well?"

The Reincarnated Empress nodded slightly: "I was just guessing, but... I think it's probably true. The Azure Emperor is probably teaching your sister something."

Ye Lingxuan thought for a moment and took out the Lock of Desolate Time: "Fine, since that's the case, I'll personally check on Qian'er's situation. She said a couple of days ago that she wanted to see Brother Mu, so I might as well take this opportunity to arrange for her to see Brother Mu."

Ye Lingxuan always felt somewhat guilty towards Ye Qian.

After all, the first person to date Mu Zhian was her younger sister Ye Qian, while Ye Lingxuan only became close to Mu Zhian later.

Back then, they even secretly did intimate things together behind Qian'er's back...

Although she later learned that Qian'er had that special hobby, Ye Lingxuan still felt guilty.

However, just as Ye Lingxuan was about to cast the spell, the Reincarnated Queen hesitated and whispered, "Miss, perhaps we should wait a while? Now might not be the right time..."

She was afraid of upsetting the young lady.

"What's wrong with that? I'm not trying to spy on Qian'er's private life. I just want to see how her cultivation is going. Don't let her obedient and well-behaved appearance fool you. She's actually quite competitive. Lately, she's been secretly meditating and cultivating by herself."

Ye Lingxuan pursed her lips and said calmly, "But you're right, it's not good to snoop on other people's private lives."

The reincarnated empress breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Ye Lingxuan murmured to herself thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, do you think Brother Mu would hate girls who spy on his private life?"

The Reincarnated Empress pondered for a moment, then muttered to herself, "I think he probably doesn't mind. It seems the Azure Emperor has been spying on us several times already."

Ye Lingxuan snorted: "That woman only pretends to be an ethereal fairy in front of the world. But if the cultivators of Kyushu knew her true personality, they would probably be very disappointed."

"Actually, many men like this kind of fairy who looks pure but has a natural allure. It makes them very eager to conquer her, and even binds their hearts to her completely," said the Reincarnated Empress.

Ye Lingxuan glanced at the woman: "Is it something written in a book again?"

"Although the knowledge came from reading books, it is mostly correct theory," the Reincarnated Empress explained.

Seemingly noticing Ye Lingxuan's disbelieving look, the Reincarnated Empress frowned slightly and said, "Does Miss think I'm just talking theory on paper?"

Ye Lingxuan was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Could it be that you've had a Daoist partner or been in a romantic relationship before?"

The reincarnated empress opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't say anything.

Then, with a slightly emotional tone, she said lightly, "Miss, you thought I was all talk and no action, but look what happened? I won over Mu Zhian in less than one night."

Ye Lingxuan was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Perhaps Brother Mu needed something from you, which is why he yielded to you back then? After all, he came to the forbidden area this time for the Flower of the Great Dao. You should know the whereabouts of the Flower of the Great Dao, right?"

The reincarnated empress remained silent.

Miss Ye's intelligence exceeded her expectations; she hadn't anticipated that Ye Lingxuan would realize what had happened last night so quickly.

Seeing that the Reincarnated Empress remained silent, Ye Lingxuan couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth slightly.

really.

I knew that Brother Mu would never allow the reincarnated empress to get close to him.

"Besides, you probably didn't actually kiss Brother Mu, right? You were able to sense when I used the Lock of Desolate Time, so you just needed to put on a little act for me back then."

Ye Lingxuan toyed with the Lock of Desolate Time in her hand and continued in a confident tone, "After all, you're the kind of person who gets shy even when talking about kissing."

As she spoke, she stared intently at the aloof woman in front of her. Seeing that the woman remained silent, Ye Lingxuan knew that her guess was correct, and she was in a great mood.

Looking at the silent Reincarnated Empress, she suddenly muttered to herself, "Speaking of which, Brother Mu said he wanted to go for a walk tonight, but where did he go?"

The Reincarnated Empress gazed at her mistress with a wistful look and said, "Aren't you worried that he might go out on a secret rendezvous with some woman? Is Miss really that confident in herself?"

These days, due to the position of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, the forces within the Forbidden Zone have been engaged in open and covert struggles. However, Ye Lingxuan ultimately subdued two of the major forces, which is enough to prove the girl's abilities.

The young girl certainly has the right to be confident.

However… while the young lady may indeed be a genius in her 'career,' she may not be so good at matters of the heart…

Prodigy girls often have a kind of blind self-confidence.

Ye Lingxuan said calmly, "This is a forbidden area. No matter what, Brother Mu wouldn't do anything in a forbidden area, would he? The rules in a forbidden area can be set by the Lord of the Forbidden Area. If I wanted to, I could keep Brother Mu in the forbidden area forever, indulging in my company. But if he really did something with someone else..."

"Humph……"

The girl gave a soft snort, seemingly noticing the suspicious look in the Reincarnated Queen's eyes, and continued, "If you don't believe me, just look at what Brother Mu is doing now and you'll know."

As she spoke, Ye Lingxuan gently raised her fingertips, and the Lock of Desolate Time quietly condensed into a bronze mirror.

"and many more--"

The reincarnated empress then realized what was happening and was about to speak to stop her.

However, at that moment, a sweet, seductive voice, so soft it could melt a man's bones, drifted out from the bronze mirror.

The sound seemed to freeze the atmosphere in the boudoir.

The reincarnated empress seemed to have realized something and silently covered her cold and beautiful face.

However, he couldn't help but peek curiously through his fingers at the image reflected in the bronze mirror.

Ye Lingxuan, standing beside her, subconsciously glanced at the image in the bronze mirror and muttered to herself in confusion, "Qian'er..."

And the Azure Emperor?

But wasn't the person I was spying on supposed to be Brother Mu? Why are Qingdi and Qian'er the ones appearing instead? And why are they hugging each other...?

Could it be that the Lock of Time is malfunctioning?

Just then, as if sensing Ye Lingxuan's suspicion, the Lock of Desolate Time slowly moved downwards in the bronze mirror...

Ye Lingxuan's thoughts suddenly stopped, and she was shocked to see the boy trapped between Yao Meng and Ye Qian.

The girl's composed and confident smile faltered, and she tilted her head slightly, letting out a confused sound.

"Eh?"

Chapter 525 Mu Zhian, Heavenly Tribulation of the Enlightenment Realm! 7.5K

Mu Zhian gently rubbed his waist, turned his head to look at the fairy who was resting with her eyes slightly closed beside him, and then glanced at the pure and charming girl on the other side.

He had actually anticipated the current situation, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

She really understands me so well… Mu Zhian couldn’t help but admire her in his heart again. Gazing at Yao Meng’s flawless face, he couldn’t help but gently squeeze the woman’s soft little hand.

Yao Meng slowly opened her eyes, a strand of black hair clinging to her forehead. She breathed out a satisfied sigh and said, "After this, I will go to Tianxuan City to see if there are any clues left by your parents. You are undergoing your tribulation in the forbidden area this time, with two Dao Integration Realm experts guarding you and the rules assisting you. I believe no one will interfere with you."

"But you still need to be careful."

Mu Zhian nodded: "I know, the difficulty of the Enlightenment Tribulation is much higher than I imagined."

"Besides that, there is one more thing we need to pay attention to."

A faint smile appeared in Yao Mengmei's eyes as she said softly, "The master of the restricted area has the right to modify the rules of the restricted area. This is the authority they possess. The current master of the restricted area is Ye Ning, but if the master of the restricted area were to pass the throne to Ye Lingxuan in the future... you would have to be careful."

Mu Zhian was taken aback, then nodded gently: "Yes, I understand."

Even though he said that, Mu Zhian still couldn't quite understand why Yao Meng would specifically remind him to be careful of Ye Lingxuan.

What's there to worry about, Lingxuan? She's a good sister who cares about Mu-gege.

In Mu Zhian's fishpond, there are only two kind sisters who care about their brother: Ye Qian and Ye Lingxuan.

Mu Zhian was quite at ease with the two sisters.

Yao Meng clearly saw that Mu Zhian hadn't taken her words to heart, but she didn't remind him again. She just glanced casually in a certain direction in the room.

The Lock of Desolate Time, this ancestral artifact has been tempered through nine lifetimes, and its accumulated essence far surpasses that of ordinary ancestral artifacts. Even cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm would not be able to detect it when it is spying on them.
