Chapter 89: Night, Cave, Sisters
Mu Zhi’an sat cross-legged under the big tree, eyes tightly closed, quietly feeling the mysteries of this formation in the hazy white mist.
“This kind of wonderful feeling, I haven’t even felt it on women in the past…”
This formation was extremely mysterious. The patterns drawn in the formation were quite complex, but whether it was the mark the Demon Realm Empress had left on Mu Zhi’an before or something else,
Mu Zhi’an could clearly feel that he could analyze the drawing method of this formation one by one.
This feeling, to put it crudely, could be described in one word: awesome!
It was like the refreshing feeling of figuring out a math problem after racking one’s brains, wanting the whole world to know that one had solved a math problem.
Mu Zhi’an had been sitting cross-legged in the eye of the formation for nearly half an hour.
From the beginning, he had been immersed in the wonders of this formation, roughly memorizing the formation in his mind, and even completely forgetting about the outside world.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a slight disturbance coming from beside him.
Mu Zhi’an slowly opened his eyes and saw the purple-dressed girl standing not far outside the formation, and the innocent girl Ye Qian with a rather substantial chest beside her.
The Ye sisters.
And not far behind them, several cultivators were standing there, staring at him. The one in the lead was wearing a four-clawed python robe and was quite handsome.
Who is this person? This skin is quite handsome, but unfortunately still inferior to me by quite a bit… Just as Mu Zhi’an thought of this, he suddenly felt a gaze filled with hostility. Following that gaze, a black-robed youth was staring at him.
It was Ye Yu.
Holy shit… How did you bring all the enemies here?
Mu Zhi’an swept his gaze and saw the somewhat difficult expressions of the Ye sisters. He immediately guessed something in his heart.
He got up, stretched his lazy waist, came to the front of the few people, secretly sized up this handsome young man who was slightly inferior to himself, and said, “This is…?”
“How presumptuous, you don’t even recognize the third prince of the Great Qian Dynasty?!” An attendant beside him scolded.
Mu Zhi’an showed a “suddenly enlightened” expression, raised his head to look at the young man in front of him in surprise, and said, “You are the third prince?”
Those dark circles, perhaps he indulged in beauty even more seriously than me in the past…
The third prince looked down at Mu Zhi’an, lightly “hmm”-ed, but the hostility in his eyes when looking at Mu Zhi’an was obviously not as strong as it was at the beginning. After all, the other party’s attitude made him quite satisfied.
“Who are you?” He asked arrogantly, while unintentionally glancing at the two sisters beside him.
These sisters had obviously rushed over just now after noticing the existence of this young man. Now that they saw the other party being so humble in front of him, they should also consider who could lead them to safely pass through this trial forest and the sect assessment.
Mu Zhi’an cupped his hands and said, “This humble one is the third young master of the Gongsun family in Tianxuan City. You may not have heard of me, but my Gongsun family does have some reputation in Tianxuan City.”
“Gongsun family of Tianxuan City…?” The third prince’s brows unknowingly furrowed as he said, “The Gongsun patriarch seems to have six descendants. What’s your name?”
“Gongsun Cheng.” Mu Zhi’an said with a smile.
Ye Yu beside him slightly opened his mouth, seeming to want to say something, but still endured it.
Although he extremely detested Mu Zhi’an, if he exposed Mu Zhi’an at this time, he might not be able to save the Ye sisters by himself alone.
Gongsun Cheng… The third prince searched for this name in his mind and quickly showed a slightly enlightened expression.
He had heard of the name Gongsun Cheng. After all, the Gongsun family was not only somewhat famous in Tianxuan City, but also in the entire Great Qian Dynasty.
And Gongsun Cheng was also the number one genius of the Gongsun family… This matter was not easy to handle.
The mortal emperor actually didn’t have much control over these cultivation clans. Of course, it’s not that the cultivation clans weren’t afraid of the emperor. After all, the Great Qian Dynasty also had many capable people. The current emperor had cultivated for a hundred years and had quite impressive strength.
The current state preceptor was even more so the anchor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
But generally speaking, even people from the government wouldn’t casually offend a cultivation clan like the Gongsun family.
The third prince indulged in beauty, but it didn’t mean his brain was filled with water, and he at least had the most basic logic.
Seeing Mu Zhi’an smiling and nodding, the third prince stared at the young man in front of him with a changeable expression. After a while, he moved the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, “So it’s the third young master of the Gongsun family. I didn’t expect that you would also participate in this sect assessment.”
“Isn’t the third prince the same? I think we are the same kind of people. We occasionally also want to experience what a sect assessment feels like.” Mu Zhi’an said with a smile.
“That’s right. In the past, there were no opportunities for experience in the palace. This time, there is such a rare opportunity, so naturally we should experience it in order to temper ourselves.” The third prince nodded with a smile.
Mu Zhi’an humbly listened and nodded, “The third prince is right. You are indeed a person of great wisdom. Hearing your words is better than hearing a speech.”
Ye Yu watched as the two of them chatted and their relationship suddenly became good. He couldn’t help but slightly open his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn’t find a chance to interject and could only endure it.
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, the third prince suddenly changed his tone and said, “Young Master Gongsun, I wonder what your relationship is with these Ye sisters?”
Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian heard this and both looked at Mu Zhi’an.
This idiot actually directly poked through the ambiguous window paper between me and the Ye sisters. How am I going to operate in the future… Mu Zhi’an said with a smile, “Third Prince, are you fond of one of them?”
This is the art of answering.
Directly answering the third prince will only disappoint the Ye sisters, because both Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian are present at this time. He can’t possibly say that they are both my wings or they are both my sisters.
The only method is to answer a question with a question.
The third prince was silent for a moment, then said with a smile, “Young Master Gongsun, if you withdraw now, I will remember your kindness today.”
“After this assessment is over, I will give you enough reward.”
Mu Zhi’an thought for a bit and said, “Actually, our Gongsun family doesn’t lack any reward.”
“In other words, you are not willing to let go?” The third prince stared into Mu Zhi’an’s eyes.
Just a moment ago, they were still laughing and chatting, but the next second, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense. The attendants behind the third prince all stared at Mu Zhi’an with hostility.
At this moment, there was a vague sound of footsteps coming from the woods nearby. Mu Zhi’an glanced over slightly.
Gongsun Cheng.
The real person appeared.
Was he attracted by Ye Yu’s physique or by me… Mu Zhi’an suddenly transmitted his voice to Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian, “Follow me!”
After saying that, he immediately took the small hands of Ye Qian and Ye Lingxuan.
An attendant behind the third prince reacted extremely quickly and immediately raised his hand to grab.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt as if his body was bound by something, and he stiffened for a moment.
Ye Lingxuan raised her hand, and a faint green light quietly rose from her hand. As she slightly clenched her fist, she controlled the attendant.
“Don’t let them run away!” The third prince immediately shouted.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw Mu Zhi’an raise his head to look at Gongsun Cheng, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, “Second brother, save me, stop them!”
Gongsun Cheng had just raised his head and saw Mu Zhi’an pulling two girls and coming towards him. Before his brain could figure out what was happening here, the third prince behind him immediately sneered, “You guys stop them, I’ll go chase Gongsun Cheng!”
Gongsun Cheng: “?”
The few attendants were very decisive and rushed towards Gongsun Cheng.
The third prince also didn’t hesitate at all and rushed towards Mu Zhi’an.
The court also didn’t want to easily offend cultivation clans, but this place was the Two Polarities Sect. Neither the identity of the court nor the cultivation clans worked here.
“Mu Zhi’an, stop right there!” At this time, Ye Yu behind him also reacted, chased after him, his face full of anger, staring at Mu Zhi’an.
Mu Zhi’an was not flustered. He grabbed the small hands of Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian, stepped into the woods clearing in front, and activated the formation under his feet.
When the third prince caught up to Mu Zhi’an, he was startled to find that Mu Zhi’an and the others, who had just stepped into this woods clearing, disappeared from sight in an instant.
Behind him, Gongsun Cheng, who had just appeared and was hit on the head by the third prince’s men, had a gloomy face and said angrily, “You were tricked by Mu Zhi’an, I have no relationship with him at all!”
His voice was filled with anger.
…
At this moment, Mu Zhi’an was sitting in a cave, raising his hand to look at his palm, sighing with some regret in his heart,
“This formation is indeed not very skilled to manipulate. If I could completely control it, maybe I could directly send the Ye sisters to the peak of Boundless Sea Peak.”
Just as Mu Zhi’an thought of this, he suddenly felt a faint fragrance quietly floating over. Raising his head, the girl in a purple dress was half-squatting in front of him.
Her features were like a painting, her skin like congealed cream, and a pair of limpid eyes were looking at him with concern.
Under her skirt, she wore a pair of light purple embroidered shoes, elegant and charming.
“Are you okay?” Ye Qian also walked over, her eyes filled with concern, and handed a handkerchief to him.
Mu Zhi’an shook his head with a smile, “It’s alright.”
Originally, he was thinking of entering the forest and rallying some people to deal with Gongsun Cheng.
After all, what Gongsun Cheng could do, he could also do.
He could even do better than Gongsun Cheng.
But now… there was no need to be so troublesome.
The effect of “Friend of the Villain” didn’t seem to be all negative.
If it weren’t for the Demon Realm Empress, Mu Zhi’an might not have been able to experience the mysteries of this formation in the trial forest so smoothly.
Mu Zhi’an looked up at the sky that was gradually getting dark outside and said, “It’s almost night. Let’s rest here for today.”
Mu Zhi’an had already memorized the mysteries of the formation of this trial forest in his mind. He would study it again when sleeping with the Ye sisters at night, and he believed he would soon have greater progress.
However, Mu Zhi’an was not in a hurry.
After all, the sect assessment was also an adventure.
After going through hardships with the girls in this cave, the feelings between them would become stronger.
As for this sect assessment…
After he skillfully mastered the formation tonight,
How many people could pass the assessment at Boundless Sea Peak would be decided by him.
