Chapter 111: You Are the One I Love the Most Among Everyone I See and Love
Wei Mengrou stepped on the flying sword, taking Mu Zhian to the Jade Glass Palace.
Below their feet was a bottomless cliff, and the surroundings were filled with abundant spiritual energy and lingering fog.
Mu Zhian stretched out his hand to hug Wei Mengrou’s waist, his chest tightly pressed against the maidservant’s back.
Wei Mengrou glanced at him coldly. Mu Zhian didn’t mind at all and explained, “I’m a little afraid that I might fall.”
Wei Mengrou immediately gave him a cold laugh.
What “afraid”? Why weren’t you afraid just now in front of Lan Mulian?
Isn’t it just to maintain your image in front of that Senior Sister?
Heh, men.
Although she thought so, Wei Mengrou didn’t say anything, after all, they were almost at the Jade Glass Palace.
Under Wei Mengrou’s lead, Mu Zhian quickly returned to the Jade Glass Palace.
Before long, the two entered the Garden of Heavenly Harmony together and saw Bai Ruoxi in the quiet and elegant pavilion.
It was mid-autumn, but this garden was full of birdsong and flowers. The beauty with an exquisite face was wearing a white palace dress that matched her personality. Her hair naturally fell down like a waterfall without any styling, and a strand of hair on her forehead rested on her cheek, adding a touch of lazy charm.
“You’re not hurt, are you?” Bai Ruoxi looked up at the young man, showing a faint smile.
“It’s fine. Although a lot of things happened after entering Senior Spirit Dragon’s grotto heaven, private fights are strictly forbidden inside, so it’s not a big problem.” Mu Zhian responded with a smile.
Only then did Bai Ruoxi feel relieved. She invited Mu Zhian and Wei Mengrou to sit down and said, “Just before you came back, news came from the Third Prince, saying that you broke your promise and abandoned the others, and obtained the Spirit Dragon’s destiny inheritance alone.”
She paused and said softly, “What an annoying guy. Even though you’re both prodigal sons, why is the difference so big?”
You mean I’m also a prodigal son? The problem is that I’ve already turned over a new leaf and started anew… Mu Zhian smiled, inwardly retorting, and decided to give Bai Ruoxi some stick education tonight.
“As for the Third Prince’s words, just listen and forget about them. No one will care.” He took a sip of tea and smiled.
Now those sect disciples had more or less received Mu Zhian’s help, what could the Third Prince use to spread rumors?
Actually, it was quite good. When he was tired from meditating and cultivating, he could still watch the clown performance in the circus. Thinking about it, it was quite interesting.
“Did Young Master Mu obtain the destiny inheritance from Senior Spirit Dragon?” Bai Ruoxi suddenly asked.
Mu Zhian raised his hand and took out three palm-sized tokens from his storage ring.
Each token contained a wisp of purple aura.
Bai Ruoxi’s eyes showed a trace of surprise, and she looked up at Mu Zhian, “Heavenly Dao aura?”
As one of the holders of the Heavenly Dao aura, Bai Ruoxi naturally sensed the aura of the Heavenly Dao at first glance.
Undoubtedly, all three tokens contained a wisp of Heavenly Dao aura.
Bai Ruoxi stared at the three palm-sized tokens. After a moment, she raised her eyes and said, “Although these three wisps of Heavenly Dao aura are not much, they will greatly benefit your future cultivation. When the time comes, I will assist you in absorbing them into your body.”
“I don’t need it.” Mu Zhian gently shook his head.
At that time, he could obtain more Heavenly Dao aura from the Spirit Dragon. The three tokens also contained the mystery of the destiny inheritance. It would be too wasteful to consume them just to absorb the Heavenly Dao aura.
“Sister Mengrou, try to see if you can absorb it into your body today.” Mu Zhian handed one of the tokens to Wei Mengrou.
Wei Mengrou silently took the token, then raised her eyes to look at him, but saw him with a bright smile on his face. He continued, “If one is not enough, tell me again.”
Wei Mengrou hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she parted her lips slightly and said softly, “Thank you.”
Although she was clear that her young master often secretly looked at her body with a strange gaze, Wei Mengrou still found it very difficult to refuse Mu Zhian’s good intentions.
Because she could clearly feel the young master’s sincerity.
Although he seemed to be equally sincere to other girls…
Bai Ruoxi watched the conversation between the master and servant, silently picked up the teacup and took a small sip, not saying a word.
At this moment, she suddenly noticed that Mu Zhian was staring at her intently at some point. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes shyly and said in a small voice, “What’s wrong? Why is Young Master Mu staring at me?”
Mu Zhian reached out his hand across the table and gently placed it on the back of Bai Ruoxi’s hand.
“Ruoxi, I missed you so much during the time I was away.”
“You were only away for less than half a day.” Bai Ruoxi glanced at him and said softly.
“A day apart seems like three autumns. If we calculate it, it’s normal for me to miss you after being apart for half a day.”
Mu Zhian gazed at Bai Ruoxi’s pretty face.
Under the sunlight, her face was as warm and flawless as a piece of beautiful jade. Although she was a classically beautiful woman with a cold temperament, when facing her lover, her pair of peach blossom-like eyes were covered with shining misty water, enchanting and seductive.
The phrase “good enough to eat” could be perfectly demonstrated at this moment.
If she wore modern clothes, Bai Ruoxi would probably be the aloof campus belle in everyone’s eyes, with her long hair cascading down, wearing a simple T-shirt and white pleated skirt, revealing a pair of straight jade legs, and the T-shirt would probably bulge out with two full breasts.
Wei Mengrou glanced at Mu Zhian coldly, her eyes full of disdain.
Hmm, Sister Mengrou’s contemptuous gaze looking at me like a scumbag is indeed the best… Mu Zhian enjoyed Wei Mengrou’s “disdainful” and contemptuous gaze, but held Bai Ruoxi’s soft little hand.
Noticing that Wei Mengrou got up and left gracefully in the next moment, Mu Zhian simply sat beside Bai Ruoxi, gazing at her face.
The beautiful snow-white jawline, the upturned nose, the seductive cherry-like mouth slightly pursed, with a bit of moist luster due to the tea just now.
Mu Zhian placed his hands on her shoulders, lowered his head slightly, wanting to taste the residual tea on Bai Ruoxi’s lips.
But Bai Ruoxi was a little shy and tried to gently push Mu Zhian away, saying softly, “Don’t do this in the courtyard…”
“Don’t worry, no outsiders will come in.” Mu Zhian slowly approached the cold beauty’s lips, about to have a taste.
At this moment, he vaguely felt that there seemed to be a breeze beside him, and a somewhat familiar aura appeared beside him.
Mu Zhian subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw the Spirit Dragon girl wearing a loose plain robe, completely hiding her beautiful figure inside.
She stood beside Mu Zhian, holding an Eight Treasures Crane in her hand, letting it flap its wings, but still unable to escape her “claws”.
“Senior Lin Ling…?” Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment and said, “Why did you come here?”
Lin Ling pointed to the words on the table.
“You continue.” She wrote on the table.
“I can wait for you.” She added.
The two looked at each other. Bai Ruoxi quickly broke free from Mu Zhian’s embrace, gently tidied the hair on her forehead, maintaining her usual aloofness and coldness.
Then she turned her head to look at Mu Zhian as if nothing had happened, trying to maintain her usual image, and smiled, “Young Master Mu, who is she again?”
She deliberately emphasized the word “again”.
“This is Senior Spirit Dragon.” Mu Zhian transmitted his voice.
Spirit Dragon, a powerhouse that had existed since the founding of the Two Polarities Sect, why would she be here… Bai Ruoxi’s eyes flashed slightly. When she looked at this silver-haired and red-eyed mature beauty again, her eyes were much more respectful, and she said, “Greetings, Senior.”
Her tone was respectful, but at the same time, it wouldn’t give people a feeling of flattery. This was also one of the ways of dealing with people that Bai Ruoxi had learned in the Bai family in the past.
It’s just that she obviously didn’t know that this senior didn’t care about these things at all.
“Senior, what did you come here for?” Mu Zhian asked in confusion.
Lin Ling picked up the Eight Treasures Crane that was tied up and placed it on the table.
“Eight Treasures Crane?!” Mu Zhian’s eyes condensed slightly.
Eating a little of this thing could improve one’s cultivation, and it was effective before reaching the peak of the Spirit Refinement stage, without any side effects… According to Senior Sister’s previous explanation, this kind of immortal crane was only raised a little by the head seat of Boundless Sea Peak and was treasured very much.
Lin Ling wrote on the table, “Take it to be stewed and enjoy it together tonight.”
Mu Zhian said with difficulty, “Senior Lin Ling, if you eat this Eight Treasures Crane, that head seat of Boundless Sea Peak may not say anything, but if we eat it, I’m afraid…”
Lin Ling tilted her head slightly, her eyes showing confusion, and asked, “Aaaa?”
She’s asking me why… Mu Zhian very magically understood her meaning and said, “The Eight Treasures Crane is raised by the head seat of Boundless Sea Peak. He rarely enjoys it himself and uses it more to reward outstanding sect disciples.”
Mu Zhian continued, “Such a precious item, even Boundless Sea Peak probably only has a few, right? It’s a bit inappropriate for me to eat this Eight Treasures Crane.”
“Aaaa!”
Who knew, at this time, Lin Ling shook her head seriously, as if wanting to say something.
Then, under Mu Zhian’s gaze, she raised her finger, and instantly, another Eight Treasures Crane that was tied up and as big as half a person was thrown out from the storage ring on her finger.
Then, she lightly waved her right hand, and a total of more than a dozen Eight Treasures Cranes were successively poured out from the storage ring. The wings of each crane were tied up, unable to move, and could only make a wailing sound.
They look so pitiful, but they sound so nice, they must be delicious when eaten… Mu Zhian was quite greedy.
He glanced at the words that appeared on the table: There are a total of seventeen. You won’t be discovered if you secretly eat one or two.
So you knew this was secretly eating, Sister… Mu Zhian looked at Lin Ling’s bright and clear red eyes wordlessly.
From a certain point of view, this Lin Ling was quite similar to Mu Zhian.
Mu Zhian would pluck wool from Ye Yu, this sheep, every few days.
And this Lin Ling was more ruthless than Mu Zhian, openly carrying a sheep and running away… Mu Zhian silently looked at the silver-haired beauty in front of him.
She was still holding an Eight Treasures Crane in her hand, with a lush garden as the background. She was wearing an ordinary loose plain robe, but it was difficult to hide her clear and beautiful appearance.
“If doing this makes you unhappy, I can release them too.” The Spirit Dragon wrote on the table again.
Mu Zhian looked at the words on the table, and for some reason, he felt that he understood her thoughts.
Senior Lin Ling didn’t catch so many Eight Treasures Cranes simply because she wanted to eat them herself. It was probably also out of her concern as a senior for a junior, so she brought them to share with him.
This woman had lived for maybe tens of thousands of years, but her heart was as simple as a child’s.
However, they definitely couldn’t eat these Eight Treasures Cranes.
But they could sell a good favor.
The Spirit Dragon’s starting point was good. In her view, transferring her own destiny to Mu Zhian was her gain, so she wanted to compensate Mu Zhian.
…Of course, it was probably also because she wanted to eat them herself.
However, if the Spirit Dragon ate the Eight Treasures Cranes, that head seat wouldn’t say anything and wouldn’t dare to say anything.
But if they ate them… Even if the head seat of Boundless Sea Peak didn’t say anything out of respect for the Spirit Dragon, he would still feel a bit uncomfortable in his heart.
But even if they couldn’t eat them, they could sell a very, very big favor.
“If you don’t mind, Senior, please sit in our garden for a while first.”
Mu Zhian glanced at the Eight Treasures Crane in Lin Ling’s hand that had lost the will to live, and smiled, “I’ll deal with this Eight Treasures Crane later and let Senior enjoy it.”
Then, they just had to wait for the arrival of that head seat of Boundless Sea Peak.
…
Boundless Sea Peak!
In a floating pavilion at the peak, four or five people were gathered together.
A pot of wine was burning on the table. The person at the head was none other than the current head seat of Boundless Sea Peak, Yi Hao.
Beside him were the pavilion master of the Medicinal Cuisine Pavilion, Yi Huayun, and the pavilion master of the Book Pavilion, Yan Ruyu.
In addition, there were two cultivators who were invited by Yi Hao to enjoy the Eight Treasures Crane together.
“Senior Brother, you seem to be in a good mood today, even inviting us to enjoy the Eight Treasures Crane. Could it be that something good happened?” Yan Ruyu asked with a smile, her temperament as ethereal as an immortal.
Yi Huayun picked up the wine cup, took a sip of the burning wine, and smiled, “I think Senior Brother’s good mood is probably because of the sect assessment of Boundless Sea Peak two days ago.”
The junior brother beside him followed, “Boundless Sea Peak hasn’t had so many assessment disciples pass for a long time, but this time, almost all of them passed, and each one has quite good talent. It’s indeed worth celebrating.”
Yan Ruyu played with the wine cup in her hand, squinted and smiled, “That Mu Zhian does have some skill.”
Yi Hao nodded with a smile, “Being able to comprehend a bit of the formation left by Master, even if it’s just a little superficial understanding, this talent is already quite amazing.”
“In that case, does Senior Brother Yi plan to choose him as the inner sect disciple this time?” Yan Ruyu asked.
“No rush, let’s observe a bit more.” Yi Hao shook his head and smiled.
“Each main peak only selects one inner sect disciple. We have to make a careful decision.” Yi Huayun followed.
“This time, there are quite a few sect disciples with extraordinary talent. If I choose an inner sect disciple, I probably have to give an Eight Treasures Crane as a gift.” Yi Hao laughed loudly, seemingly in a very good mood.
The Eight Treasures Crane, if taken before reaching the peak of the Spirit Refinement stage, could at least jump up one grade. If taken in the Qi Condensation stage, the effect would be even better. Not only sect disciples but also many pavilion masters in the sect coveted the Eight Treasures Crane.
However, no one had dared to secretly eat it so far. After all, Yi Hao spent who knows how many rare medicinal materials to raise these Eight Treasures Cranes, and there were more than ten years of feelings. No one dared to challenge his bottom line.
“By the way, didn’t Junior Sister Lan just say that Senior Spirit Dragon took away an Eight Treasures Crane? Senior Brother, aren’t you going to ask her for an explanation?” Yan Ruyu teased.
Yi Hao smiled indifferently, “Since it’s Senior Spirit Dragon, let alone one, if she wants them, I can give her all the Eight Treasures Cranes.”
This is called “having a broad mind”.
The Spirit Dragon was the guardian divine beast of the sect. In the past, it had repelled the demon race together with the sect master. One word from it could annihilate the enemy army. For such an existence, even if all the more than a dozen Eight Treasures Cranes were given away, it wouldn’t matter.
Of course, it’s easy to say, but when it really comes to doing it, one might not be able to be so magnanimous.
After all, who can’t say some nice-sounding words… The people present all understood, but they wouldn’t go so far as to expose him.
After chatting for a while, Yan Ruyu looked up at the twilight sky and suddenly asked in puzzlement, “By the way, don’t those Eight Treasures Cranes usually fly back at the hour of the rooster? Why haven’t we seen any signs of them even though it’s so late today…?”
Yi Hao looked up at the empty sky, his brows slightly furrowed, and he also vaguely felt that something was a bit off.
At this moment, Yi Hao suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up at a paper crane flying over lightly from not far away.
He raised his hand and grabbed, and the paper crane turned into a letter in his hand the next moment.
The others subconsciously looked at him.
Yi Hao glanced at it and said, “A letter from Mu Zhian.”
Then, he took a closer look at the contents of the letter. In an instant, these junior brothers and sisters saw the indifferent smile on this head seat’s face completely freeze.
After a long time, Yi Hao finally came back to his senses.
He slowly exhaled a breath and said in a deep voice, “I have to go to the Jade Glass Palace.”
