It turns out, they were the main characters.

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.

The Chinese language is truly profound and extensive...

Seemingly remembering something important, Mu Zhi'an asked again, "And what about Mu Zhi? Was that also arranged by the sect leader?"

"That was my arrangement."

Mu Wange smiled gently: "Mu Zhi is a very cute child, and she has great talent, so when I took you to the Forbidden Land of Life, I took her in as well."

The One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones is not simply a clone, but rather each clone possesses its own consciousness, equivalent to three different people.

So, this was something outside the sect leader's plan...? Mu Zhian was speechless for a moment.

"Do you know what the sect leader really wants to do?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

Shang Yanfei began planning tens of thousands of years ago, with each of her clones doing different things. It would be a lie to say that Mu Zhian didn't care what she was planning.

Mu Wange was clearly annoyed that her true colors had been exposed, but in front of this child, she still wanted to maintain the proper demeanor of an elder, so she smiled gently and said softly, "I will take you somewhere tomorrow, and you will know then."

"Where to?" Mu Zhian asked instinctively.

If he were to go back now with a bunch of questions, Mu Zhian felt he might not even make it to tomorrow; he'd probably suffocate by the end of the night.

"The ancestral land of the Blue Clan," Mu Wange said.

Go to my senior's 'hometown'?

Is it that mysterious ancient ship...?

After a brief moment of doubt, Mu Zhian's eyes flickered, and he immediately thought of the mysterious ancient ship he had seen in the ancestral land of the Blue Clan.

Just as he was about to ask something else, he suddenly felt his mind becoming increasingly hazy.

Then, he felt that the woman in front of him was so beautiful and charming, with her alluring red lips that seemed to melt at the touch, her mature feminine charm, and even her every smile and frown, all of which seemed to possess endless allure...

At this moment, it seemed that Mu Zhian only had eyes for this woman.

Mu Wange seemed to sense something and subconsciously looked up.

When she met Mu Zhian's burning gaze, her heart skipped a beat, and almost immediately a thought popped into her mind:

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's charm spell has taken effect...

……

……

[I've been experiencing some writer's block these past couple of days, mainly because I've been focusing on pushing the plot forward, and my brain is a bit overwhelmed. But I'm mostly done now, and I shouldn't get stuck again ( ). By the way, I'd love some recommendations, monthly tickets, and a triple dose of encouragement for a new week!]

Chapter 572 The term "big sister" is truly hard to refuse.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's bewitching technique can instantly destroy a person's rationality, making them see only the person with the bewitching body.

Seeing that Mu Zhian's eyes seemed somewhat dazed, Mu Wange reacted almost immediately and subconsciously tried to cover her face with a veil to hide her alluring figure again.

Just now, Mu Zhian was trying to resist the allure of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox because he wanted to know the truth.

But once he learned everything he wanted to know, that unwavering determination gradually faded.

What followed was the constant erosion of Mu Zhi'an's will by the allure of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

"You...you need to calm down. Zhi'er might not be far away. If she sees us, she might misunderstand us."

Mu Wange's tone was as gentle as ever, but she spoke a little faster, which was enough to show the worry in her heart at this moment.

Despite being an avatar of the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Mu Wange possesses her own spiritual consciousness and a furnace/cauldron.

As long as the main body doesn't give orders, she is a complete self.

To others, the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Land of Life is a cold and ruthless ancient creature, but Mu Wange watched Mu Zhi grow up... She also knows how much that child, Zhi'er, really likes Mu Zhi'an.

If Zhi'er knew that Mu Zhi'an was actually 'seduced' by her at this moment... she would probably think that she did it on purpose.

Mu Zhian gently shook his head and said in a low voice, "You must have left some kind of magic to shield yourselves from the secrets of heaven, right? That's why I don't remember anything about you, and I don't know what kind of relationship I have with Mu Zhi..."

"But I know that I actually like you more than Muzhi."

Do you like me more...?

Mu Wange's beautiful eyes widened slightly, as if incredulous.

Does this child even know what he's saying?!

She was just an avatar... and she had almost no interaction with Mu Zhian.

How could this child like her?

No, it's because his will was influenced by his naturally alluring physique; he didn't actually have any feelings for her.

Looking into Mu Zhian's deep and tender eyes, Mu Wange's heart trembled slightly.

As one of the three avatars of the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, and the patriarch of the Ancient Mu Clan, Mu Wange actually possesses her own personality, but this personality still needs to follow some of the arrangements of the original body.

Taking in Mu Zhian was part of the plan arranged by the main body.

Wei Mengrou's matter was also part of a pre-arranged plan.

Even so, Mu Zhian is still the child she watched grow up. It would be impossible for her to say that she has no feelings for him or doesn't like him.

But... that kind of liking isn't love.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have readily agreed to the marriage arranged by the two children when she saw Mu Zhi'an say he wanted to marry Mu Zhi.

But now, she's been confessed to without any warning...

No, we need to calm down first... It's his innate allure that's influencing this child, not that he actually likes me.

Besides, she couldn't let Zhi'er down...

Mu Wange gradually calmed herself down, a forced, gentle smile appearing on her face: "You're just being affected by my alluring body right now. I'll put you into a deep sleep in a bit, and you should be back to normal when you wake up tomorrow."

She had to stop him before he made a mistake; after all, she was Mu Zhian's elder and had to act like one.

Mu Zhian looked disappointed, lowered his head slightly, and said softly, "I see... So you don't like me?"

Seeing that Mu Zhian was able to resist the 'charm' and give up on his own initiative, Mu Wange breathed a sigh of relief.

For some reason, she felt a strange emptiness in her heart, as if she had given up something important.

This is something she shouldn't have done. She firmly rejected Mu Zhi'an's advances, but seeing his disappointed expression afterward, she felt inexplicably anxious and uncertain.

It's not that I don't like you, it's just that my liking for you doesn't stem from love.

Suppressing her inner anxiety, Mu Wange spoke softly in the tone of an elder's admonition, "Compared to the love my true self has for you, my feelings for you are more like the concern an elder has for a junior..."

As she finished speaking, her eyes softened, and she said, "When I brought you back to the Forbidden Land of Life, you were probably only seven or eight years old, not even at the Refining Essence Realm yet. I never imagined you would have grown so much."

Mu Zhian remained silent for a moment, then looked up at the stunningly beautiful mature woman who had once again covered her face with a light veil, and whispered, "Each clone has a different spiritual consciousness, and you have no romantic feelings for me, is that right?"

Mu Wange nodded gently and hummed in agreement.

But for some reason, at the moment of nodding, I felt a vague sense of loss, like a boulder stuck in my heart.

It seems that it's because of the feelings the original body has for him that's causing this problem.

"Would you be happy if I married Mu Zhi?" Mu Zhi'an suddenly asked.

Mu Wange was taken aback, then smiled gently and said, "This is a private matter between you and Zhi'er, so I won't interfere too much."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian suddenly raised his head and stared into Mu Wange's eyes: "So, Sect Leader Sister's feelings for me are the same as yours?"

Mu Wange gently shook her head: "Her feelings for you are complicated, unlike mine... On the other hand, her other avatar simply has romantic feelings for you. You've met her before; she's the messenger of the Sabbath."

She must be referring to Mu Wanwan… Mu Zhian understood.

After suppressing his 'impulse' towards Mu Wange, he got up and prepared to leave.

It was at this moment that Mu Wange finally realized what was happening.

This child probably wasn't bewitched by her at all, was he?

Mu Zhian resisted her allure, and his conversation with her just now was actually an attempt to extract information from her.

Because Mu Zhian did not believe what Mu Wange had said earlier, and even doubted her identity.

It wasn't until Mu Wange inadvertently mentioned the alternate identity of 'Mu Wanwan' that Mu Zhi'an completely dispelled his doubts about Mu Wange.

After all, the only people in the world who know that Mu Wanwan is Shang Yanfei's clone are Mu Zhian and Yao Meng.

Mu Wange stared resentfully at the boy's retreating figure.

When did this child become so calculating?

He used to be a very innocent boy.

"You were just testing whether I was her clone, weren't you?" Mu Wange looked at Mu Zhi'an, who was about to leave the room, and suddenly called out to him softly.

Mu Zhian did not deny it: "I did want to test whether you were lying... I'm sorry."

"You weren't the kind of person who would scheme before."

Mu Wange frowned slightly, a hint of resentment in her beautiful eyes: "So now you believe I'm the sect leader's avatar?"

She had been agonizing over whether to accept Mu Zhi'an's confession, only to find out he was just testing her...

Even with Mu Wange's gentle nature, she felt a surge of shame and annoyance upon hearing Mu Zhi'an admit that he was testing her.

Because it made me, who was just agonizing over whether or not to accept Mu Zhian's confession of love, seem so stupid!

Despite being tens of thousands of years older than Mu Zhian, she was actually manipulated by someone she considered to be just a boy.

And they did it more than once!

"To be honest, I still don't quite believe it," Mu Zhian suddenly said.

"When I saw you just now, I had a feeling of déjà vu... as if I remembered my mother, whom I seemed to have seen before when I was a child."

Mu Zhian said softly, "But I never expected that it was just someone I had imagined."

The forbidden land of life, the ancient shepherd clan, although they all share the surname shepherd, have no relation to him whatsoever.

Mu Zhian is like a ghost wandering in the long river of history, with nowhere to belong.

Mu Wange's expression changed slightly.

For some reason, looking at Mu Zhian's back at this moment felt like touching the softest part of her heart.
