Chapter 56: Mu Zhi’an: Ninth Level Qi Refinement? Directly Suppress!
After ordering the servants to arrange a room for Bai Ruoxi, Mu Zhi’an personally led Bai Ruoxi towards the guest room.
Bai Ruoxi, wearing cloud-embroidered short boots and a flowing white dress, gracefully followed behind him.
She slightly raised her eyelids, looked at the young man leading the way in front, and said softly, “I’ve stayed in the Mu Family before, so there’s no need to bother you to take me there. You can go and attend to your own matters.”
Mu Zhi’an immediately shook his head, firmly and unwaveringly, “No, since you’ve come to the Mu Family, you’re a guest. If I don’t properly entertain you, my parents will scold me for being inhospitable.”
Bai Ruoxi looked at Mu Zhi’an with some entanglement.
She always felt that Mu Zhi’an had some ulterior motives, but she couldn’t bear to directly ask him to leave, fearing that it would hurt his heart.
In the end, she could only suppress the words she wanted to say in her heart and silently follow behind him.
Before long, Mu Zhi’an led Bai Ruoxi to a quiet and secluded room in the backyard. He pushed open the door and turned around with a smile, “This will be your room from now on. You can freely use the Heavenly Dao energy here to purify the spiritual energy without worrying about being discovered.”
Bai Ruoxi nodded reservedly, entered the room, and poured a cup of tea for Mu Zhi’an. Suddenly, she worriedly said, “I don’t know how my mother and the others are doing.”
Sure enough, she still lacks a sense of security in someone else’s home… Mu Zhi’an gently comforted, “Don’t worry, I’ve already written a letter to your father. If they don’t agree, they would have already sent someone to pick you up, right?”
Upon hearing this, the tightly knitted eyebrows on Bai Ruoxi’s face relaxed a lot, and she softly said “Mm.”
Then, she recalled everything that had happened today and suddenly asked, “What should we do about Gongsun Cheng?”
Now was the time for the Bai Family to rise again. Bai Ruoxi was still a bit worried that Gongsun Cheng’s matter would affect her family.
Sometimes, even with strong strength, one would still be cautious due to many things. If it weren’t for Mu Zhi’an today, Bai Ruoxi probably wouldn’t have heavily injured Gongsun Cheng no matter what.
Mu Zhi’an played with the teacup in his hand, raised his head to look at the worry on the beauty’s face, and said with a smile, “Since you’re concerned about the Bai Family, why did you engage with him at that time?”
Bai Ruoxi hesitated for a long time, seemingly a bit reluctant to speak.
It wasn’t until a long time later that the girl’s voice, which was trying hard to be lowered, faintly came from the room, “You were behind me at that time.”
If she hadn’t made a move at that time, the one who would have been injured was Mu Zhi’an behind her.
No matter what, she had to avoid such a thing from happening.
If she regretted heavily injuring Gongsun Cheng, naturally, she didn’t have such thoughts.
But the other party was the number one genius of the Gongsun Family. He had lost so much face today. If the Gongsun Family retaliated… Bai Ruoxi couldn’t help but have such concerns in her heart.
Mu Zhi’an gently placed the teacup on the table and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Gongsun Cheng can’t affect the overall situation. For the Gongsun Family, he’s just a genius with better talent, that’s all.”
Yes… just a genius.
No matter how good Gongsun Cheng’s talent is and how smart he is, he can’t affect the overall situation.
The current Gongsun Family is already struggling to take care of itself, so how could they have the intention to retaliate against others?
Gongsun Xiong probably wishes that the Mu Family and Bai Family would forget about his existence now, waiting for him to recover from his injuries and rise again.
Although he said that, there was still a trace of worry in Bai Ruoxi’s eyes.
It was a matter of course for Mu Zhi’an not to worry. Let alone the fact that Gongsun Xiong was now seriously injured, even if Gongsun Xiong was at his peak, he wouldn’t dare to openly retaliate against the Mu Family, the biggest powerhouse in Tianxuan City.
But the Bai Family was different.
Because Lan Mulian was in Tianxuan City, Bai Yuanfeng was wary of exposing her identity as a demonic cultivator, so naturally, she wouldn’t dare to make a move.
On the surface, the number of Spirit Refinement realm cultivators in the Bai Family was pitifully small.
If the Gongsun Family took advantage of this to cause trouble…
Mu Zhi’an looked at the worry in Bai Ruoxi’s eyes and suddenly said, “Ruoxi, if one day someone pursued you and got intimate with you on the street, what do you think would happen?”
Bai Ruoxi’s thoughts returned to reality. Upon hearing this, she hesitated for a moment and said softly, “Everyone would know, right?”
The number one beauty of Tianxuan City had a Dao companion. This matter would be a huge shock to many people.
Perhaps it wouldn’t spread throughout the entire city, but at least among those young cultivators, it would quickly spread.
As Bai Ruoxi said this, she seemed to have thought of something. She was a bit dazed, and her autumn water-like eyes stared at Mu Zhi’an, “What you did outside just now… was it for the people of the Gongsun Family to see?”
“Yes, but not entirely.”
Mu Zhi’an said seriously, “There are other reasons, guess again.”
Bai Ruoxi didn’t say anything for a long time. After a long silence, she gently shook her head, “I can’t guess.”
Mu Zhi’an took out a bronze mirror and placed it in front of Bai Ruoxi.
The mirror reflected the beauty’s stunning appearance that could topple nations, wearing a white dress embroidered with small plum blossoms. The collar couldn’t conceal her ample bosom. Two strands of hair fell from the front of her forehead, resting on her full chest. Her temperament was cold and clear, like a delicate young lady living in seclusion.
“Have you guessed it?” Mu Zhi’an asked.
Bai Ruoxi’s eyes first flashed with a hint of doubt, and then she suddenly noticed the burning gaze of the young man sitting opposite her. She immediately lowered her eyelids and said softly, “…I don’t know.”
The meaning of Mu Zhi’an’s words was that he couldn’t resist because Bai Ruoxi was “beautiful.”
Naturally, Bai Ruoxi was too embarrassed to say such words herself.
Mu Zhi’an took the opportunity to hold the beauty’s small hand on the table and said, “The Heavenly Dao energy can only purify the spiritual energy around the person who purifies it. If you want to meditate, you have to be by your side. Can I stay in the room to meditate at night?”
Bai Ruoxi was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked at Mu Zhi’an a few times.
His eyes were sincere, without a hint of falsehood. He earnestly said, “I’ll just meditate and cultivate, absolutely won’t do anything bad.”
“Besides, you’re at the ninth level of Qi Refinement. If I really did something bad, could I even beat you?”
That’s true. The difference between the ninth level of Qi Refinement and the third level of Qi Refinement was probably three or four Gongsun Chengs. Bai Ruoxi’s bronze sword could be used continuously three times or more, which was her current limit, and each sword strike was not something that enemies of the same level could withstand.
Therefore, the difference between the ninth level of Qi Refinement and the third level of Qi Refinement was at least three Gongsun Chengs.
Bai Ruoxi was silent for a moment. In the silence, she sighed faintly, “If you misbehave… I can’t guarantee that I won’t accidentally unleash the bronze sword.”
Her words seemed to carry a threat, but they also seemed a bit powerless.
Mu Zhi’an nodded in agreement.
He sat cross-legged at the foot of the bed, while Bai Ruoxi slightly bent her knees and took off the two white ankle socks on her jade feet.
Then she sat cross-legged at the head of the bed, took out the Heavenly Dao energy, purified the surrounding mixed spiritual energy, and transformed it into spiritual energy that could be absorbed into her body.
Before long, she suddenly felt a slight disturbance beside her. When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw Mu Zhi’an sitting cross-legged beside her.
She hesitated for a moment but didn’t stop him.
After all, the floor was cold at night, so this was understandable.
But after a while, she felt a slight breath falling on her face. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that handsome face staring straight at her.
Bai Ruoxi’s eyes flashed with a hint of slight panic. Her voice trembled slightly as she said softly, “What is it again…?”
“Simply absorbing spiritual energy still seems a bit slow. I’m a natural furnace, so maybe we can try a different method…” Mu Zhi’an gazed at the beauty’s charming face and said softly.
Bai Ruoxi seemed to understand his meaning. She slightly lowered her eyelids, not knowing whether to refuse or accept.
Mu Zhi’an placed his hands on her shoulders and said softly, “If you don’t like it, just push me away.”
As he spoke, he gently pressed Bai Ruoxi on the bed behind her.
Bai Ruoxi’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she peeked at Mu Zhi’an with half-open eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, her two hands gently hooked around Mu Zhi’an’s neck.
Mu Zhi’an couldn’t resist lowering his head to lightly touch the girl’s lips, then leaned close to Bai Ruoxi’s ear and said with a teasing tone, “If people knew that a ninth-level Qi Refinement cultivator was suppressed by a small third-level Qi Refinement cultivator, I wonder what everyone would think?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoxi’s heart inexplicably surged. Her small hands subconsciously gripped her skirt tightly, her back pressed against the bed, and she slightly turned her face away, not looking at him.
She had been tricked again.
Because at the ninth level of Qi Refinement… it seemed she really couldn’t resist this small third-level Qi Refinement cultivator.
