Chapter 61 Listen to your sister, the water is deep and you can't control it 5K (1/2)

Mu Zhian took a carriage to Chaohai Inn and bought the famous local osmanthus cake. Soon he arrived at the inn where Lan Murian was.

After getting off the carriage and entering the inn, Mu Zhian knocked on the door of the guest room.

"Come in." A clear and cold voice came from the room. This crisp and pleasant sound like ice cubes thrown into a water cup makes people feel a kind of charm that can calm down the anxious heart.

Mu Zhian pushed the door open and saw his senior sister who had been in Tianxuan City for a few days but still stayed in the inn and rarely went out.

Lan Murian seemed to have just finished meditating and slowly opened her eyes. The moon-white long skirt set off her snow-white skin, revealing a translucent beauty in the dim light. A pair of clear eyes was enough to make people feel inferior at first sight.

However, this would not affect Mu Zhian, nor would it make him respect him.

Even if Lan Murian was a cultivator in the Refining God Realm and had a noble status, it would not work... He was LSP.

Mu Zhian put the box in his hand on the table, turned his head and smiled: "I told you in the letter yesterday that I would invite you to taste the osmanthus cake of Chaohai Inn, so I brought it to you today."

"By the way, have you read the letter, senior sister?"

"No." Lan Murian said lightly.

Mu Zhian subconsciously glanced at the opened paper crane on the table, pretended not to know, retracted his gaze, and smiled: "This osmanthus cake tastes great, senior sister can try it."

Lan Murian nodded slightly, and said reservedly: "Put it aside for now."

It seems that there is no way to see the beauty of senior sister under the veil...Mu Zhian can't help feeling a little regretful.

When he came to Yangfeng Inn, he thought that when Lan Murian eats osmanthus cake, he will naturally take off the veil, and then he will be able to see her beauty.

Unfortunately, the other party does not seem to intend to show his true face in front of others.

"By the way, the snow lotus seems to have withered before. I'll replace it with another one for my senior sister."

Mu Zhian noticed that the snow lotus in the bottle beside him had withered and died. He took out a snow lotus that exuded a faint and quiet fragrance as if by magic and placed it in the bottle.

"It's a pity that there is no Liuguang soil, otherwise this flower can be preserved for a few more months." Mu Zhian sighed with some regret.

Lan Murian looked at the snow lotus in the vase, and for the first time there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, and said: "Did you give me that snow lotus last time?"

Why did he sound like he gave me that snow lotus before?

If I remember correctly, wasn't the waiter of Yangfeng Inn put that snow lotus here as a decoration a few days ago?

How did he give it to me?

Mu Zhian turned his head to look at his senior sister who was sitting upright, and smiled: "This snow lotus is only cultivated in such a small pond in the Mu Mansion. In Tianxuan City, I am afraid that only the Mu family has it. The snow lotus on the paper crane last time was given to my senior sister by me."

As he said this, he seemed to recall something and continued: "Oh, I heard a few days ago that the owner of Yangfeng Inn seemed to be cultivating some snow lotus artificially, but it is not as good as the snow lotus in the Mu Mansion after all. At least in terms of fragrance, the snow lotus in the Mu Mansion is better."

Lan Murian's eyes moved slightly, and he stood up and walked to the table. Looking at the snow lotus standing quietly in the bottle, which looked pure white, he lowered his head and sniffed it.

The faint fragrance with a little mint floated into the nose, and there was a feeling that the sluggish state was suddenly refreshed.

It is different from the snow lotus placed in the inn last time... The fragrance and even the quality of this snow lotus are better.

Then the question is... Mu Zhian said that he sent a snow lotus with a paper crane last time.

So where is the snow lotus now?

Lan Murian's eyes flickered slightly, as if she thought of something, and her eyes slowly widened a little.

Last time she had not changed the position of the paper crane... In other words, the paper crane flew to the back mountain of Liangyi Sect.

Did the snow lotus finally fall into the hands of the master...

Given the master's personality, what would happen if he received the snow lotus?

For some reason, the delicate face of the cold beauty under the veil inexplicably had a faint smile.

Mu Zhian couldn't help but look at Lan Murian twice more. Her skin was as white as cream, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and her beautiful face could be vaguely seen under the veil. Her temperament was clear and cold, and a bit mysterious.

At this moment, Mu Zhian had the urge to take off the veil on her face.

But considering that this was a very favorable thing, he still held back.

At this time, Mu Zhian suddenly found a thin booklet on the table. The booklet was open and had several names written on it.

Mu Zhian was very familiar with these names, Bai Ruoxi, Gongsun Cheng, Huang Manting, Ye Yu, and even Ye Lingxuan, etc.

Behind these names, there were written the life experiences of these people. Although not detailed, the basic content was true.

Among these names, three names were circled, one was Bai Ruoxi, one was Huang Manting, and the other was Ye Lingxuan.

Is this the candidate that the senior sister is more optimistic about in this sect assessment? Mu Zhian thought secretly.

Not to mention Bai Ruoxi, since the fusion of the bronze piece, his strength has skyrocketed, and with the increase of the Heavenly Dao Qi, he is now invincible among his peers.

Huang Manting has always been regarded as the second person besides Gongsun Cheng in the past, and she is also the best among the best among her peers.

Ye Lingxuan... This girl is a bit surprising. Apart from being a little pretty, there is nothing outstanding about her.

Her personality does seem a bit like that of a young lady...she should not just be an heir of the Ye family.

And Ye Yu's name was not circled... Could it be that the Chosen One is useless to Lan Murian?

After taking a look, Mu Zhian saw his own name under the dense text.

The introduction introduced his life experience, and at the end added a sentence: Slippery tongue, a little pervert, be careful.

Mu Zhian raised his eyebrows slightly, unhappy.

He raised his head and asked calmly: "Senior sister, where did you get this booklet? Such a detailed introduction does not seem to be investigated in just a few days."

Lan Murian glanced at him slightly and said lightly: "I have my own way."

From the tone, she didn't intend to elaborate...Mu Zhian changed the question and asked curiously: "This circled name represents the candidate you are more optimistic about this time, right?"

"Didn't Ye Lingxuan just reach the Qi training stage? Could it be that she has a good talent?"

Lan Murian looked at Mu Zhian deeply and said: "Don't offend her."

"Do you know her?" Mu Zhian asked.

Lan Murian shook her head: "I don't know her, but the elders have specifically told me that Ye Lingxuan must be one of the candidates for joining the sect this time."

Mu Zhian took a look at the introduction of Ye Lingxuan in the booklet. She looked no different from an ordinary person. She grew up in the Ye family and condensed the cauldron before the age of fifteen to enter the Qi Refining Realm. Apart from that, there was nothing special about her.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said: "The person who wrote this booklet has hidden agenda. You can't trust him completely."

Lan Murian looked at him sideways, and there seemed to be a hint of displeasure in her eyes, which were always calm.

Mu Zhian frowned and continued: "How can I be as bad as the booklet says?"

What do you mean by being obsessed with beauty when you were young, and knowing how to suppress your desires a little when you grow up, but you are still a little pervert in essence... What is this about?

Complete slander!

Unexpectedly, Lan Murian glanced at Mu Zhian coldly and said, "Go out if you have nothing to do."

Why was she angry...Mu Zhian said, "Sister, I will take you to Tianxuan City in a few days. I promised to take you out to play in the previous letter, but you stayed in the inn all the time. This is not okay."

Lan Murian shook her head gently: "I can't leave casually, it will cause unnecessary commotion."

Now all the cultivators in Tianxuan City know that Lan Murian has come to Tianxuan City. It was okay when there were not many people at the competition arena last time. If she went to a place with more people, she would inevitably be pointed at.

She doesn't like too many eyes focusing on her.

Mu Zhian heard this and glanced at Lan Murian's obviously unhappy look again. She had to nod and smiled: "In this case, wait for the next opportunity to take you around."

After that, Mu Zhian left the guest room. As soon as he entered the carriage, he noticed a tall beauty in a red cheongsam from the corner of his eye.

It's not the slender figure of a young girl, but it's as plump and attractive as a peach, which makes people's eyes involuntarily attracted to her.

"Strange... Why does Sister Feiying come to Yangfeng Inn so frequently these two days?"

Mu Zhian looked at Feiying's back as she walked into the inn, and only said to himself in his heart until her back disappeared from his sight.

He shook his head gently, no longer thinking about it, got into the carriage, and leaned leisurely on the soft couch. The afternoon sun shone through the curtains. Mu Zhian narrowed his eyes slightly in the breeze, which was very leisurely.

Now everything has been handled. What he needs to do next is to wait for the start of the sect assessment with peace of mind, and then go directly through the back door to Liangyi Sect.

As for other things... they are just appetizers before the sect assessment.

The carriage passed Chaohai Inn unknowingly, and he opened his eyes slightly, and the corner of his eye just fell on a girl standing at the door of the inn.

That pure and sweet face, like first love, was particularly bright and charming under the eyes. Her figure was slender and graceful, and the thin belt around her waist outlined her willow waist. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, giving her a kind of classical beauty.

It was Ye Qian.

"Stop for a moment." Mu Zhian signaled the driver to stop, and then he opened the curtain and got off the carriage.

Not far away, Ye Qian, wearing a light blue double-breasted dress, stood at the door of the inn, looking like she was in a daze.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a shadow quietly covering her. She raised her head slightly. When she saw the boy clearly, she was immediately surprised and said, "Master Mu, why are you here?"

"I just happened to pass by here when I was taking a walk, and I saw you. Thinking about it carefully, this may also be a kind of fate."

Mu Zhian glanced at the bustling crowd in Chaohai Inn and smiled, "Miss Qian'er, what are you doing here in such a hot day? Are you eating alone?"

Ye Qian looked up at Mu Zhian, and after a while, she nodded gently: "This morning, Sister Lingxuan and I said that the osmanthus cake here is delicious, but she didn't believe it, so I wanted to bring one over for her to try, but..."

She took a look at the flow of people inside and couldn't help sighing.

This Chaohai Inn has always had good business, and the osmanthus cake here is basically not available if you don't make an appointment in advance.

Ye Qian obviously didn't know about this kind of thing, because in the past, the servants of the Ye Mansion went to buy it. This was her first time coming here by herself.

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Wait for me here."

Under Ye Qian's puzzled gaze, Mu Zhian walked into the Chaohai Inn.

Not long after, Ye Qian saw him walk out of the inn with a box of osmanthus cake and handed it to her.

Ye Qian blinked, subconsciously glanced at Mu Zhian, and said: "Master Mu, why can you buy osmanthus cake...?"

She had just asked the waiter, and the other party answered her that it was sold out today.

As a result, Mu Zhian went to the inn for less than an incense stick of time, and he bought it...?

Mu Zhian showed a mysterious smile and said: "I have my own way."

Mu Zhian can buy osmanthus cake directly because he is Mu Zhian, and the Mu family is behind him... Even if the osmanthus cake is booked out, this inn will find a way to prepare another one for Mu Zhian.

But other people don't have such special treatment.

Ye Qian hesitated and politely refused: "Sorry, I can't accept your things."

"Miss Qian'er, this osmanthus cake is not a valuable item. I just want to invite you and Miss Lingxuan to enjoy it. Don't worry so much." Mu Zhian smiled.

Seeing that Ye Qian still had a hint of hesitation on her face, Mu Zhian asked, "Did someone tell you something?"

It stands to reason that the Qi-training pill yesterday should have been enough to make Ye Qian let down her guard against him, but she was so hesitant today. I think something must have happened after she went back.

Ye Qian hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Sister Lingxuan and Brother Ye Yu both told me not to get close to you."

It's okay for Ye Yu, but I didn't expect Ye Lingxuan to remind her sister after she went back...Mu Zhian sighed, "Sister Qian'er, do you think I look like a bad person?"

Ye Qian raised her head slightly and peeked at the boy in front of her, and the kind and gentle smile on his face, like a neighbor's brother.

"No..."

"Isn't that enough? Your brother Ye Yu and I do have some conflicts, but it has nothing to do with you." Mu Zhian smiled.

Ye Qian's originally frowned brows gradually relaxed, holding the small wooden box containing osmanthus cake in both hands, nodded shyly, and said "um" softly.

In the sunshine, a faint smile appeared on that pure and lovely face.

Although mature and charming ladies are great, this kind of weak girl who can cry for a long time after being punched seems to be pretty good... Mu Zhian thought to himself.

"Sister Qian'er, you can come to my house when you are free next time. I will treat you to the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made in our house."

The little girl looked up at him. When Mu Zhian looked at her, her beautiful almond eyes flickered shyly, as if covered with a layer of mist. She lowered her eyes slightly and nodded like a chicken pecking at her head. The vigilance in her heart had been relaxed.

"It's hot, I'll let the driver take you back." Mu Zhian continued.

Ye Qian opened her mouth slightly, looked at Mu Zhian in surprise, and said quickly: "No, wouldn't Brother Mu have to walk back by himself?"

"Just take it as a walk, it's okay here." Mu Zhian smiled.

The beautiful 15-year-old sister lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the shyness and joy in her eyes, and said in a clear and sweet voice: "Then I'll trouble you."

This feeling of being taken care of meticulously really made her very happy.

...

Ye Mansion.

Ye Yu slowly opened his eyes, feeling the mixed spiritual energy in his body filling his whole body, and the cauldron in his body had begun to take shape.

The bottleneck of the peak of refining essence!

Next, as long as I refine the Qi-training pill today, I'm afraid I can break through the refining essence realm within two days!

Such results made Ye Yu quite satisfied.

I never thought that after losing the Qi of Heaven, I have a stronger talent for cultivation than before.

Although this road is more difficult, as long as I can become stronger, it is worth it.

Wait until the day of the sect assessment, defeat Mu Zhian squarely, and get rid of a worry in my heart, and then I can start my own adventure outside.

Ye Yu thought of this and felt very happy. After opening the room, he felt that the unchanging scenery had become extremely beautiful.

The clan members were fighting in the yard. Ye Yu looked around and soon fell on the pavilion not far away. In the pavilion, a girl in a lavender skirt sat on a stone chair, revealing a small part of her snow-white calves, and seemed to be resting.

Ye Lingxuan.

Lingxuan's appearance is probably not inferior to Bai Ruoxi...

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I haven't chatted with her for a long time since I lost my talent... Ye Yu thought of this and was about to step forward and say hello.

At this time, his eyes suddenly fell on the snow lotus in Ye Lingxuan's hand.

Ye Yu's body stiffened slightly, and his eyes stared at the snow lotus.

In Tianxuan City, the only place where snow lotus is artificially cultivated is Mu Mansion. Although Yangfeng Inn also cultivates snow lotus, it is ultimately a form without soul.

Yesterday, I heard from the tribe that Ye Lingxuan went to the Mu Mansion, and this snow lotus... I'm afraid it was taken from the Mu Mansion.

Ye Yu's eyes were a little colder, and he turned and left the yard.

Just when he arrived at the gate of the yard, he saw a carriage parked in front of the Ye Mansion.

"Mu's carriage..." Ye Yu stared at the carriage, and the innocent girl who opened the curtain and walked down from the carriage.

Ye Qian raised her head slightly, holding a box of osmanthus cake. When she raised her head and saw Ye Yu with an ugly face, she hesitated, forced a smile, and said: "Brother Ye Yu, do you want to eat osmanthus cake?"

"No."

Ye Yu replied coldly, staring at the carriage of the Mu Mansion, and said in a deep voice: "Did you just go to the Mu Mansion?"

The tone did not sound like a brother's concern for his sister, but more like questioning.

Ye Qian obviously noticed Ye Yu's abnormality, and couldn't help but look at his cousin twice, then shook his head gently: "I happened to meet Brother Mu when I went to Chaohai Inn to buy osmanthus cake. He asked the driver to take me back."

"Don't get close to him in the future. That person definitely has no good intentions." Ye Yu said lightly.

Ye Qian lowered her head, and her originally cheerful mood suddenly became much heavier.

"Oh."

She lowered her head and walked into the Ye Mansion silently holding the osmanthus cake.

Recalling the cold look of Ye Yu when she saw him at the door just now, Ye Qian held the box of osmanthus cake in her arms, feeling very aggrieved.

Originally, she was in a good mood, but she was scolded by her cousin as soon as she arrived at the mansion. No one would be in a good mood.

Ye Qian walked into the courtyard of the Ye Mansion wearing deerskin short boots. It was not until she saw the beautiful girl in purple dress in front of the pavilion that her eyes gradually regained some brilliance.

She took small steps forward and took the initiative to call out: "Sister Lingxuan."

She wanted to share everything that happened today with her sister.
