It turns out, they were the main characters.

Mu Zhi uttered the name softly, word by word, her usually calm and beautiful eyes now filled with anger.

Three whole days.

Her clone was trapped for three days by the three women around Mu Zhi'an, and during those three days she could only watch helplessly as her fiancé was forced to do things he didn't want to do.

Well... at least from Mu Zhi's perspective, Mu Zhi'an was forced.

This is an unprecedented humiliation for Mu Zhi since she inherited the forbidden land of life, and it is a dark history that she intends to completely seal away from now on.

"Master... are you alright?"

Deep within this gloomy palace, a gaunt-looking old man leaning on a cane respectfully asked.

"What exactly happened during those days in the Great Qian Dynasty?" he asked again.

Nearly a week has passed since the various Forbidden Lords went to the Great Qian Dynasty. About four days ago, the avatars of the various Forbidden Lords shattered one after another. It seems that the Forbidden Land is sending people to investigate something. However, the master of the Forbidden Land of Life has not yet returned. Therefore, the old man guessed that the matter being investigated by the Forbidden Land might be related to the master.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that the clones of those idiots all died in the Great Qian Dynasty."

Mu Zhi gradually calmed down, narrowed her eyes, and her clear, beautiful eyes shone with thoughtful light: "However, the Forbidden Land will not let this go easily. At least Isis has suffered two setbacks in the Demon Realm in succession, and I'm afraid she will soon be unable to sit still any longer."

The Immortal Forbidden Land may not be as strong as the Demon Realm in terms of overall strength, but the top cultivators there are roughly equal in strength.

If the Immortal Forbidden Land truly intervenes, then other forbidden lands will likely also make some moves.

At that time... the real turmoil will begin.

That was also the best time for her to make her move.

The best time to steal the older brother's things.

Although Mu Zhi initially intended to let him have his way... however, after witnessing all that had happened in the past few days, the Lord of Life had completely abandoned that idea.

"Keep a close eye on the Immortal Forbidden Land during this period. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be some activity there soon," Mu Zhi instructed softly.

"Yes, Master." The old man bowed very gracefully.

At this moment, a servant of the forbidden area said with a hint of admiration, "Truly worthy of being called the master. Without exception, all the forbidden masters who went to the Great Qian Dynasty died there, but only the master returned safely to the forbidden area of ​​life."

These words sounded like praise, but to Mu Zhi they were incredibly grating.

The images of the Demon Queen and Mu Zhi'an from those days flashed through Mu Zhi's mind again. She lowered her eyes and gently tapped the skull-inlaid throne with her fingertips.

Then he gave the servant a cold, indifferent look.

“Starting tomorrow, you will no longer need to come to the Emperor’s court. Go to the center of the forbidden area to guard the ancient tree of life for three years.”

The servant was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Master, what did I do wrong...?"

“The formations in this palace are complex. Taking a wrong step will affect the formation’s structure. You entered the palace with your left foot today, which has already affected the rules and order of the forbidden area of ​​life,” Mu Zhi said calmly.

"..."

Anyone would know that this was just a pretext to fire him, but no one in the forbidden zone dared to utter a sound at this moment.

"What's wrong? Do you think three years isn't enough and want to train for a longer period of time?" Mu Zhi looked down at her, a sickly smile on her slightly pale face, and even her eyes seemed to be filled with darkness.

The servant was inwardly miserable, but could only raise his hand in a respectful bow and say, "Your subordinate obeys..."

……

Mu Zhian stretched lazily, glanced at the clothes hanging on the hanger, then opened the window to look at the snow scene outside, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

"It feels like I've returned to Tianxuan City."

With a touch of emotion, Mu Zhian turned to look at Wei Mengrou, who was still curled up in bed.

Her hair was slightly disheveled and fell across her exquisite face. She glanced at the young master indifferently and said, "Back then, you didn't even dare to touch my hand."

Mu Zhian said speechlessly, "Is it because I didn't want to touch it? It's because I was kicked out the door before I even touched it."

In Tianxuan City, which young master is so frustrated that he can't even order his own maid around?

Only Mu Zhian has this kind of business.

However, it was also because Wei Mengrou was too strong and rather aloof that any of the other maids in the Mu family would have refused Mu Zhi'an's order.

"If I remember correctly, some maids would even be punished with sticks if they disobeyed their masters. So it seems I'm quite a gentle person," Mu Zhian said with a sigh.

In this era, human life was cheap, especially since most of the maids and servants were slaves who had been taken in by the families of the household because they had been displaced by the war.

If you disobey your master's orders, no one will know even if you die.

"You don't want to use corporal punishment?" Wei Mengrou glanced at the young master with disdain. "You just clearly don't have the ability to discipline me."

At that time, Mu Zhian was still in the Qi Refining stage, while Wei Mengrou had already reached the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation stage. Even a hundred Mu Zhians combined would not be a match for the maid.

Mu Zhian scoffed, "Now you can easily discipline me with a stick."

Wei Mengrou gave the young master a faint glare, then glanced at the letter that had just flown in from a distant direction outside the window, and pondered, "Judging from the markings on this letter, it seems to have been sent from the Great Qian Dynasty?"

Mu Zhian took the letter, glanced at it, and then placed it on the table: "It should be an invitation from Yongning."

Wei Mengrou: "Aren't you going to open it and take a look first?"

It was obvious that Wei Mengrou's previous cheerful mood had dissipated somewhat. Mu Zhian gently shook his head: "No rush, it's okay to look at it later."

As he finished speaking, he gazed into Wei Mengrou's still moist and beautiful eyes and said softly, "Now it's just the two of us, Mengrou."

Wei Mengrou was momentarily stunned by the young master's sudden "confession".

Then, under those gentle gazes, she grabbed the sheet and covered her face.

After a while, she peeked out and looked at him shyly: "You...you come here for a moment."

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, but still walked to the bedside and sat down.

"You just said that it's very easy for you to educate me now, right?"

Mu Zhian was taken aback by what Wei Mengrou said. He thought to himself, "I was just joking, why did Sister Mengrou take it seriously..."

Now that Wei Mengrou is empowered by the spiritual consciousness of two primordial witches, let alone Mu Zhian being at the Enlightenment Realm, even someone at the Integration Realm would have a hard time educating this maid.

"Hmm...more or less."

Despite his thoughts, Mu Zhian nodded slightly and said half-jokingly, "What, does Sister Mengrou want me to lecture her again?"

"Yes."

The unexpected answer startled Mu Zhian.

At this moment, Wei Mengrou peeked out from under the covers with her small, delicate, white hands, gently hooked them around the boy's neck, and whispered:

"Since you believe you can do it, then let me see for myself, Master~"

……

Just as Mu Zhi had predicted, almost that very night, an extremely terrifying pressure emanated from the Immortal Forbidden Land, and the forbidden rules of the Immortal Forbidden Land turned into gray mist and spread outwards silently.

Although the clone's memories were not inherited by the original body, the master of the Immortal Forbidden Land learned through investigation that her clone would die in the Great Qian Dynasty and was also involved with the Demon Queen.

This is already a provocation, and it's been a provocation time and time again.

It was precisely for this reason that Isis allowed the forbidden rules to invade the demon realm that very night.

That night, many demon cultivators saw an extremely mysterious gray mist drifting outwards along the direction of the Immortal Forbidden Land. Wherever the gray mist reached, the flesh and blood of all living beings instantly disintegrated, turning into the essence of the Immortal Forbidden Land.

That very night, a deafening dragon roar echoed across the Immortal Forbidden Land, its sound so powerful it seemed to tear the heavens apart, forcefully pushing back the gray mist.

A cheer immediately erupted from the demon realm.

They could all recognize that it was the Ancient Emperor Longxu who had made the move.

Although the conflict between the Immortal Forbidden Land and the Demon Realm has temporarily come to an end, it has still sparked much discussion among cultivators, while the Eastern Continent is now enjoying a peaceful and tranquil time.

Located in the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty, the streets are brightly lit, and these days, if you walk on the streets of the capital, you can smell a faint fragrance of flowers.

That was a celebration spontaneously organized by the people to welcome the new emperor's accession to the throne.

The successor to the throne of the Great Qian Dynasty was, of course, Princess Yongning, who was rumored to have received support from three ancient forces.

On the day of his ascension to the throne, Yongning personally hosted a banquet in the palace of the Great Qian Dynasty to celebrate with his ministers. The following day, he privately invited a few people to have a drink and chat.

This includes Bai Ruoxi, Yao Yue, and even Ye Lingxuan.

Yongning was still a little surprised when she saw that the people actually agreed. She thought that these people would be difficult to invite, but she did not expect them to agree so easily.

At this moment, in the main hall of Yongning Palace, maids were bringing in fine wine one after another.

Ye Lingxuan picked up her wine cup, took a small sip, glanced expressionlessly at the fairy in the green dress sitting not far to her left, and then gave a friendly smile: "What brings you here, Sister Qingdi?"

"Sister..." Ye Qian seemed afraid that her sister would have a conflict with her master here, so she reached out and gently tugged at her clothes.

Yao Meng smiled and said, "The new emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty has ascended the throne. Since the forbidden area has been invited, Feng Yaochi will naturally be no exception. Is it any wonder that I would be here?"

Bai Ruoxi said softly, "After Lingxuan inherited the position of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, she must have a lot to do every day. Is it alright for her to leave the Forbidden Zone like this?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxuan's pretty face showed a hint of unease, but she calmly replied, "With the Reincarnation Empress here, she will help handle it, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

"But Sister Ruoxi, I heard that the Sword Palace has been restarted, right? Are you really alright without the Sword Palace?" Ye Lingxuan asked.

"Sword Palace has several elders that I sealed in formations in the past, so I don't really need to do much."

As Bai Ruoxi spoke, her gentle eyes swept over the people present. Almost every one of them was extremely beautiful. Among them, she also saw Lin Keyu and Mu Zhian's master, Yan Ruyu, and others.

Besides them, there was also Lan Mulian, who was sitting quietly in the corner.

Of the three beauties from Tianxuan City, two of them are now in this hall, right?

As Ye Qian watched this scene, she couldn't help but think to herself.

Ye Lingxuan and Bai Ruoxi were both extremely popular back in Tianxuan City. Besides them, there was also Huang Manting, the enchantress from the Morning Dawn Merchant Guild... It's just that no one knows where that enchantress has gone these days, and she hasn't been seen in the sect either...

Just then, Ye Qian suddenly noticed a gaze fixed on her and couldn't help but look up and ask, "Is there something you need, Your Majesty?"

Yongning shook her head gently and said with a smile, "It's nothing... I just think you all seem to have a really good relationship."

As expected of Young Master Mu, any one of them would be a celestial beauty in the Eastern Continent, attracting countless admirers. Such women would naturally be proud, yet he managed to get them to get along harmoniously.

On the surface, the scene before him was indeed very harmonious, but Yongning obviously did not expect that these people had fought each other countless times in private in the past.

"You mentioned earlier that some people hadn't arrived yet. Were they delayed by something?"

At this moment, Ye Qingxin, dressed in a black and red dress and looking alluring, suddenly asked with a smile, her eyes showing a hint of gentleness.

When a powerful figure spoke up, Yongning naturally dared not be negligent and replied, "Replying to Senior, the letter I sent out was delivered to the Liangyi Sect not long ago, and I think he should arrive soon after receiving it."

Ye Qingxin's face showed a thoughtful expression.
