Chapter 42: Hehe, Too Many Villains
The “prison” created by Lan Mulian quietly shattered, and Mu Zhi’an’s figure also appeared in this dark cave.
Lan Mulian looked at this rather handsome young man and asked, “Where’s that demon cultivator?”
“Dead.” Mu Zhi’an said.
He paused and continued, “But not completely dead.”
The black-robed man was dead, but after his death, that Demon Empress of the demon world who was far away in the Northern Realm appeared.
…Even if he said that, probably no one would believe it, right?
A world-shaking empress actually appeared in such a small place and even asked Mu Zhi’an to join the Two Polarity Sect to provide intelligence for the demon world.
…If it spread, probably no one would believe it.
Because Mu Zhi’an was just a little Qi Condensation stage cultivator.
Maybe it was really the title “Friend of the Villain” at work… Mu Zhi’an could only console himself like this.
Lan Mulian frowned slightly and said softly, “What do you mean?”
She didn’t understand Mu Zhi’an’s contradictory words just now. What did it mean to be dead but not completely dead?
“It means he’s dead, but before he died, I was marked. According to him, the Seventh Seat of the demon world should have put me on the blacklist.”
When Mu Zhi’an said this, he glanced at the four large characters “Friend of the Villain” on the interface, as well as the note beside the large characters: Has gained the attention of the Demon Empress.
I really don’t want to be a villain… Mu Zhi’an secretly sighed, raised his head to stare at Lan Mulian’s lively beautiful eyes, and said, “Senior Sister, what do you say I should do in the future?”
The underlying meaning was… Seeking to cling to a big thigh.
Lan Mulian said softly, “If you join the Two Polarity Sect in the future, it won’t matter even if you’re targeted by the Seventh Seat.”
She paused and continued, “However, the difficulty of the sect assessment is extremely high. Less than a handful of people from each county can enter the Two Polarity Sect. If you don’t cultivate diligently, I’m afraid with your third-grade Qi Condensation level…”
Her implied meaning was that she hoped Mu Zhi’an could work a little harder. He obviously had good talent, but he was only a little third-grade Qi Condensation cultivator until now, which was indeed a bit unacceptable.
Mu Zhi’an was slightly stunned and asked, “Is the difficulty of the sect assessment that high?”
Lan Mulian nodded slightly.
Mu Zhi’an fell into contemplation.
Seeing this, Lan Mulian couldn’t help but say, “But you don’t need to be discouraged. Even if you can’t enter the sect this year, if you focus on cultivation for a year, you may be able to pass the assessment next year.”
Mu Zhi’an returned to reality from his previous thoughts and gently shook his head, “It’s fine. I can enter the sect this year.”
Lan Mulian raised her beautiful brows slightly and said softly, “Your aptitude is not bad, but it’s very difficult to enter the sect this year.”
She glanced at Bai Ruoxi, who was also dressed in white with a delicate face, and said, “She should have no problem.”
“I also have no problem.” Mu Zhi’an said.
Lan Mulian glanced at Mu Zhi’an and slowly shook her head, “It’s very difficult.”
Although she was one of the people in charge of this sect assessment, she couldn’t give him special treatment just because she had some dealings with Mu Zhi’an.
This was a matter of principle and could not be easily changed.
“It’s not difficult.” Mu Zhi’an said again.
Before she could speak, Mu Zhi’an continued to explain, “The Mu family has some influence in Tianxuan City, so I’m recommended to the Two Polarity Sect.”
Lan Mulian: “…”
Under the thin veil, Senior Sister Lan’s eyes, which were usually as calm as an ancient well, rippled slightly. She looked deeply at Mu Zhi’an.
He was deliberately teasing her just now, right… Since he was already a recommended person, why ask so many questions?
“The people outside are now looking everywhere for you. You handle the rest of the matters yourselves. I’ll go to Tianxuan City later.” Lan Mulian changed the subject.
She was a disciple of the Two Polarity Sect and it was inconvenient for her to intervene in these outside matters.
Mu Zhi’an nodded, looking much more serious, and said, “Thank you for your help this time, Senior Sister.”
Lan Mulian nodded slightly and turned to leave gracefully.
Mu Zhi’an gazed into the distance until he saw Senior Sister Lan’s beautiful figure disappear, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the girl behind him, reaching out his hand, “Can you still walk?”
Bai Ruoxi softly “hmm”ed, covering her injured shoulder. She reached out to hold Mu Zhi’an’s hand and borrowed his strength to stand up with difficulty.
Her lips were slightly pale. The girl, who originally gave people a feeling of cold and weak, now looked even more sickly, making people feel pity when they saw her.
“Are you really okay?” Mu Zhi’an asked with some concern.
Bai Ruoxi gently shook her head, “It’s fine… The poison didn’t enter my body. I should be able to recover after resting for two days.”
“That’s good then.” Mu Zhi’an felt relieved and nodded.
Then, he glanced at the cave entrance again.
However, it probably wouldn’t be so easy to go back early.
The Heavenly Dao Aura disappeared out of thin air, and he and Bai Ruoxi also happened to disappear. Gongsun Xiong and the others were not fools and couldn’t possibly not suspect them.
There would probably be another big show later… Mu Zhi’an turned his head to look outside the cave entrance, his eyes showing a pensive look.
Bai Ruoxi looked at the young man’s handsome side profile and suddenly asked softly, “What is your relationship with that Senior Sister?”
Mu Zhi’an returned to reality from his previous thoughts, turned his head to look back at Bai Ruoxi, and smiled, “Senior Sister is of course Senior Sister. What other relationship could there be?”
“You plan to join the Two Polarity Sect?” Bai Ruoxi asked again.
Mu Zhi’an nodded as a matter of course, “Naturally, going to the Two Polarity Sect is the best choice if you want to have better cultivation conditions. Don’t you have this plan?”
Originally, joining the Two Polarity Sect was just to improve his cultivation, but now… he had an additional task of being a double agent, which made Mu Zhi’an feel a little heavy-hearted.
He didn’t tell anyone about the Demon Empress appearing here just now, because he didn’t know what divine powers that empress had. It was better not to spread this matter.
After hearing Mu Zhi’an’s answer, Bai Ruoxi gently placed her slender hand on her lofty chest, secretly feeling relieved in her heart, and said softly, “I do have this plan… That’s why I asked you.”
Not only her, when the time comes, most of the talented youths in Tianxuan City will participate in the sect assessment. As Mu Zhi’an’s maid, Wei Mengrou should also go at that time.
However, with Wei Mengrou’s Spirit Transformation stage level, it shouldn’t be difficult for her to pass the sect assessment.
Thinking of this, Bai Ruoxi slightly raised her head to look at Mu Zhi’an. Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, she couldn’t help but ask after hesitating for half a second, “The black-robed man is already dead. Do you have any other worries?”
Mu Zhi’an was slightly dazed, turned his head to stare at Bai Ruoxi, and said, “The landlord is dead, but after the landlord dies, everyone loses their enemy… What do you think will happen?”
Bai Ruoxi was slightly stunned, looking at Mu Zhi’an. Her small mouth opened slightly, not knowing what to say.
Mu Zhi’an grinned and smiled, “There will be infighting… and internal struggles.”
The real show was just about to begin.
