It turns out, they were the main characters.

No, it shouldn't just be that Senior Sister is bold; Lan Shih-huai's spiritual consciousness should also be influencing her... Maybe it was Lan Shih-huai's suggestion.

Mu Zhian dared not move at all, fearing that the slightest movement of his would attract the attention of the two, so he could only stand frozen in place, watching the master and disciple play chess.

After a while, seemingly realizing that what she was doing was too obvious, Lan Mulian quickly withdrew her hand.

Just when Mu Zhian thought he could relax, he suddenly felt his other foot being lightly stepped on.

What's wrong with the sect leader today? I don't dislike him, but he's gone too far in front of my senior sister... Mu Zhian's eyelids twitched slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Shang Yanfei, but the woman seemed oblivious, quietly watching the chessboard.

Mu Zhian glanced down, and just as he was about to stop the other person, he suddenly paused.

This is not the sect leader...

This is my senior sister!

Mu Zhian's body tensed slightly. Even though he was used to seeing all kinds of storms, he couldn't keep his composure at this moment.

Calm down, finish this quickly and go home... Mu Zhian kept giving himself these mental suggestions, and finally calmed down.

Then, he quietly summoned the Heavenly Dao Qi within his body.

The Heavenly Dao Qi emitted a faint, soft halo, and then, under Mu Zhian's control, it transformed from the original chains into a ball of light.

The ball of light circled around Mu Zhian for a while, then, as if sensing something, it suddenly flew towards Shang Yanfei.

Then he quickly darted into her arms.

Not only Sister Mengrou, but the Heavenly Dao Qi also felt an innate affinity for the Sect Master... Mu Zhian's gaze narrowed slightly.

He was somewhat bewildered. If the Heavenly Dao Qi hadn't previously shown such affection towards Yuan Luo, Mu Zhi'an would have genuinely believed that the Heavenly Dao Qi's nature was like its master's, and that it would be affectionate towards any beautiful woman.

Aren't you going to take your things back?

Just then, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out. Shang Yanfei's gaze had somehow shifted from the chessboard, and she was now scrutinizing the young man with a smile.

The moment his eyes met those pale golden eyes, for a fleeting instant, Mu Zhian felt as if his entire being had been seen through.

"I'm sorry, but sometimes the Heavenly Qi will disobey me and run out on its own."

Mu Zhian explained, and then, with a thought, the Heavenly Dao Qi that had been curled up in Shang Yanfei's arms quietly returned to his side.

Although Mu Zhian had guessed this possibility long before he came to see Shang Yanfei, he was still somewhat confused when he actually saw the Heavenly Dao Qi taking the initiative to get close to the sect leader.

The Heavenly Qi reacted to both Sister Mengrou and the Sect Master at the same time... It's impossible that there are actually two immortals who have ascended to the Immortal Realm, right?

A subtle silence fell over the courtyard until, after a short while, Shang Yanfei placed a black piece on the chessboard and softly asked, "Is there anything else?"

"without--"

Mu Zhian was taken aback.

He then sighed and said, "That's all. This disciple will take his leave now."

The sect leader already knew why he had come to see her this time.

Lan Mulian glanced silently at the departing young man, then her gaze lingered on her peerless master for a long time with complicated emotions.

Outside the window, heavy snowflakes drifted down from the sky, carrying a hint of chill. In this silvery-white world, Shang Yanfei's attire stood out exceptionally, making her particularly captivating.

After watching Mu Zhian leave, Shang Yanfei turned her gaze back to the chessboard.

Just as he was taking a black piece out of the chess box, he suddenly heard a clear, cold voice beside him: "Does Master like him too?"

Shang Yanfei paused slightly as she picked up a chess piece with her fingers, and her body stiffened slightly.

It wasn't until a while later that I gradually relaxed.

"Did the Blue Lotus inside you tell you that?" she asked softly.

"No."

Lan Mulian said calmly, "It's just a simple intuition. He's not as respectful to Master as he used to be. If it were in the past, he wouldn't have dared to keep spying on you like he did just now."

“I can feel that the way my junior brother looks at you is different from before.”

Shang Yanfei was taken aback, and a rare look of surprise and emotion appeared on her usually cold face. She said softly, "Intuition is really terrifying."

Lan Mulian raised her clear, bright eyes: "Was it part of Master's plan that I would discover the changes in your relationship with him?"

"It was just an accident."

She gazed at her disciple, her beautiful eyes filled with tender pity: "Even I am not omnipotent."

"When did Master start liking him?" Lan Mulian suddenly asked.

Shang Yanfei remained silent for a long time, then parted her red lips slightly and whispered something.

Lan Mulian's bright eyes slowly widened, and she looked at her master in disbelief and astonishment.

……

After returning to Tianhe Garden, Mu Zhian happened to find the two eight-treasure cranes that Lin Ling had secretly hidden in her storage ring in her room, so he caught one and roasted it to eat.

In the afternoon, he enjoyed Nai Xi's lap pillow in Tianhe Garden while exchanging ideas with Yuan Luo in his mind.

"You've been silent ever since you entered Liangyi Peak. Are you afraid of being noticed by the sect leader?" Mu Zhian asked in his heart.

"Also, why does the Heavenly Dao Qi react to both the Sect Master and Sister Mengrou at the same time?"

"Isn't that obvious? The rules within the Liangyi Sect are entirely determined by your sect leader sister. If I had spoken to you when I entered Liangyi Peak earlier, she probably would have instantly sensed my presence."

Iris's languid voice rang out.

He then continued, "I don't know why the Heavenly Dao Qi would be so close to both of them at the same time... Logically speaking, only you and Master Jiyuan should be the ones refining the Heavenly Dao Qi."

Even the self-proclaimed omnipotent New Heavenly Dao is somewhat bewildered at this moment.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment: "How about I try it on everyone after this? Let's see if the problem lies with the Heavenly Dao Qi, or if it's just the two of them."

“That’s fine too.” Yuanluo nodded in response.

Mu Zhian regained his senses and then summoned the Heavenly Dao Qi that emitted a pale white light.

"The Qi of Heaven? Why would Mu Lang summon it out of the blue?"

Bai Ruoxi was sitting on a bench in the courtyard, carefully combing Mu Zhian's hair with her fingertips, when she suddenly saw the soft white light and couldn't help but ask curiously.

The Qi of Heaven had no effect on Ruoxi... Mu Zhian placed his hand on the back of her hand without making a sound and smiled, "It's nothing, I just felt the light here was a bit dim, so I added some brightness."

Bai Ruoxi glanced at the Heavenly Dao Qi with her bright, clear eyes, but didn't think much of it. She gently stroked the boy's hair with her fingertips, enjoying the peaceful afternoon snow scene in the courtyard.

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, the space in the courtyard suddenly rippled slightly, breaking the peaceful moment.

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly, her gentle and weak demeanor softening somewhat. Looking in the direction from which the spatial fluctuations were occurring, she said coldly, "Whoever is there, there's no need to play tricks."

As she finished speaking, a gaping slit, as sharp as an eye, suddenly appeared out of thin air in that space.

A figure could be vaguely seen through the gap.

A gorgeous white dress as sheer as gauze, a delicate and pitiful beauty, and those gentle, all-encompassing eyes... as well as those dainty feet clad in crystal-colored high-heeled sandals.

The space behind her seemed to ripple with each step she took.

Mu Zhian followed the gaze and, after a brief scrutiny, finally recognized the other person's identity.

“…Shee?”

After recognizing the other person, Mu Zhian subconsciously asked, "Why are you here?"

Chapter 607 I'm a fox-eared girl!

After the destruction of the Three Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness, the God of Space became the sole master of the Southern Wilderness, sharing a body with Regina and controlling the Southern Wilderness.

Logically speaking, Xueyi should have a lot of things to do every day now, so why would she come to the Liangyi Sect to find me for no reason...?

Mu Zhian sat up from Bai Ruoxi's embrace, looked up, and saw Xue Yi in a gorgeous white dress in the spatial rift.

Her white dress fluttered in the cold wind. She had clearly applied some makeup before coming, drawing her eyebrows and applying bright, alluring lipstick to her rosy lips.

Noble and magnificent.

She clearly resembles an empress in temperament, yet her beautiful eyes seem to hold tenderness, as if coldness and majesty coexist.

Xueyi glanced at the two of them, then her gaze swept over Bai Ruoxi before landing directly on Mu Zhian.

Snowflakes drifted down from the sky. Mu Zhi'an noticed a strange glint in her beautiful eyes and coughed lightly.

"Xueyi, what brings you here?"

Now that time has passed, the Goddess of Space no longer holds a grudge against Mu Zhi'an for his previous scheming against Xue Yi. However, she still harbors some resentment that he hasn't come to see her since leaving the Southern Wilderness that day. She smiled and said, "Can't you come if there's nothing wrong?"

Mu Zhian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course it's fine if there's nothing wrong... But I think Nanhuang is so busy every day, unless there's something important, you probably wouldn't deliberately make time to come to Dongzhou to see me."

"It was because of this that I hadn't gone to the Southern Wilderness to look for you and Regina."

In the quiet Tianhe Garden, one person sat while another stood outside the courtyard, gazing at each other across the snowy landscape.

Gradually, the resentment in Xueyi's eyes faded, and she said with a gentle smile, "Young Master Mu is as good at making people happy as ever."

Clearly, Mu Zhian had sensed her dissatisfaction, which is why he had specifically explained why he hadn't gone to the Southern Wilderness yet.

It wasn't that she didn't want to go, but rather that she was afraid it would affect her time for governing the Southern Wilderness... This was another layer of meaning behind Mu Zhi'an's previous words.

Indeed, that is the case. The Three Pillar Gods left behind a mess, and even now, Xueyi is still dealing with these complicated and trivial matters.

While Mu Zhian was being polite and gentle, Bai Ruoxi was not so friendly. Her beautiful eyes fell gently on Xue Yi: "The God of Space has traveled thousands of miles to come to the Liangyi Sect to find us. It can't be just for a heart-to-heart talk, right?"

Xueyi smiled brightly: "I'm not here to see you, I'm just here to see Young Master Mu."

"There are some things I need to talk to him about alone."

As she spoke, she completely ignored Bai Ruoxi and turned her gaze to Mu Zhian.

Bai Ruoxi remained silent, simply gazing at Mu Lang with a quiet expression.

"Cough cough."

Mu Zhian cleared his throat and said seriously, "Ruoxi is not an outsider. Just say what you want to say directly. There's no need to worry about her leaking secrets."

Xueyi glanced at the beautiful woman in the palace dress casually, then nodded slightly before gracefully walking into the courtyard.

Then, she took a letter out of her sleeve.

The letter seemed to be enveloped in a soft Buddhist light, making it look quite extraordinary. Mu Zhian could feel the heat emanating from it even before touching it.

"what is this?"
