So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

As Mu Zhian finished speaking, the small room fell into a brief silence.

The candlelight flickered gently, illuminating Lan Shihuai's cold and beautiful face.

Compared with Lan Murian, this woman seemed to have more mature charm and less "girlish" innocence.

If Lan Shihuai and Lan Murian walked on the street, I'm afraid many people would think they were a pair of sisters or mother and daughter.

"Why do you think this world has been restarted more than once?" Lan Shihuai broke the silence and asked softly.

"When I went to the Dongzhou restricted area with Lingxuan before, I accidentally learned something."

Mu Zhian said softly: "Sister Lingxuan is also my Taoist partner."

"But not in this life, but nine lives ago, Ye Lingxuan, who had not yet been reincarnated, had become my Taoist partner."

"But I was sealed in the forbidden land for tens of thousands of years, and I never left the forbidden land during this period. How did I become a Taoist partner with them?" Mu Zhian said again.

This is also the biggest reason why Mu Zhian had this doubt.

He had been wondering before, if he had been sealed in the forbidden land by Mu Wan Ge, how did he get to know the girl in his previous life?

Did he sneak out during the seal?

But after Lan Shihuai said "restart", Mu Zhian had another guess in his mind.

Before, Mu Zhian often had some very strange hallucinations, a feeling like "I have seen this woman before".

But now it seems that it may not be an illusion, but he did experience some things with Ye Lingxuan and others in the past, but when the world was restarted, everything was "reset".

From the first round to the second round, and then to the third round, someone was constantly restarting the whole world.

And in this life, a woman named Mu Wan Ge appeared and sealed him in the forbidden land.

"The master said before that every time a butterfly flaps its wings, it may affect the direction of the future. In other words, every time the world restarts, it means that the future results will change due to some small actions."

Mu Zhian said: "Maybe you have never boarded the second ark in the past, but you boarded the second ark until a certain round."

Lan Shihuai's eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly: "So in my opinion, the world has only restarted once... But in fact, this world may have restarted more than once?"

Her breathing suddenly became a little faster, as if she had an epiphany at this moment.

Yes, since the whole world can be restarted once, it seems that restarting the second and third time is not impossible.

"What about Shang Yanfei?"

Lan Shihuai suddenly said: "Is she someone who only appeared in this round, or..."

"I don't know either."

Mu Zhian shrugged: "I don't know much about the master."

He has only experienced the taste of the master's sister, but Mu Zhian is still a little confused about what that woman is thinking.

But judging from the current performance, even if the sect master is not the one who restarted the world, he must have participated in it, or he must have been an observer who observed all of this.

After all, judging from the current performance of the sect master's sister, she looks like a reborn person who has experienced reincarnation.

"Ancestor, are you in there?"

At this time, a cold and pleasant voice suddenly came from outside the small room, pulling the two back to reality from their contemplation.

"It's Lian'er... Why is she here?" Lan Shihuai said to herself in surprise.

Then, she quickly realized something, looked down at her slightly messy dress, and her cold and pretty face blushed slightly: "You go out to see her first, I'll go out after I tidy up my clothes."

Mu Zhian glanced at Lan Shihuai's snow-white skin exposed to the air, and couldn't help but smile secretly.

Although he usually behaved very indifferently, when he was intimate, Lan Shihuai showed a great contrast...

"Senior, remember to tidy up your dress, senior sister is a very sensitive person." Mu Zhian reminded.

Lan Shihuai glared charmingly: "Who do you think is to blame? Get out of here."

"Okay."

Mu Zhian grinned, then bent down and walked out of the small room of the pleasure boat.

Not long after, he saw the cold and noble Lan Mulian by the Taichu Lake.

Even in the dim light, the senior sister's face was still bright and beautiful.

Compared to his ancestor, this senior sister has more girlish aura.

The senior sister really looks similar to Lan Shihuai, but the temperament is a little different...Mu Zhian secretly admired and smiled: "Senior sister, why are you here?"

Lan Mulian glanced at the boy and said lightly: "I came to see the ancestor."

After saying that, he paused again and continued: "She didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

It is obvious that Lan Mulian learned from someone what happened outside the ancestral land today, and that Mu Zhian was taken away by Lan Shihuai privately. She was worried, so she came to see her ancestor.

Senior sister is really arrogant, caring about me in a roundabout way... Mu Zhian felt warm in his heart and smiled: "I'm fine, don't worry, senior sister. Your ancestor just talked to me about something."

Lan Murian nodded gently at first, then frowned and said: "I'm not worried about you, I just asked by the way."

Mu Zhian smiled but said nothing, seeing through but not saying it.

Feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by her junior brother, Lan Mulian changed the subject and asked, "Is the ancestor in the pleasure boat?"

As she spoke, her eyes passed over Mu Zhian and fell on the pleasure boat on the lake behind her.

Lan Mulian was not surprised that Mu Zhian would appear here.

The fact that Lan Shihuai appeared in the ancestral land not long ago had already alarmed the two sisters, so they all knew that the ancestor had come forward for them.

They also knew that Mu Zhian was taken away by Lan Shihuai not long ago.

As for where Lan Shihuai would go, it was not difficult to guess with just a little thought.

As the ancestor of the Lan clan, the first thing he would do after being born was either to go to the Lan clan's ancestral hall or to Taichu Lake.

Taichu Lake seemed to have some kind of important meaning to the ancestor.

Previously, the two sisters acted separately, Lan Feiying went to the ancestral hall, and Lan Mulian came to Taichu Lake.

"The senior seems to have something to do. She should be out soon. If you have something to talk to her about, let's wait for her together."

Mu Zhian crossed the pleasure boat and came to Lan Murian's side, smiling and asked: "By the way, senior sister, is there anything important that you came to see your ancestors for?"

"Not long ago, many elders of the Blue Clan came to the ancestral land, and the noise outside woke Feiying and me up." Lan Murian said lightly.

These elders have a deep influence in the Blue Clan, and they are arrogant in their bones.

However, not long after Mu Zhian and Lan Shihuai left, these elders came to Xianhuang Mountain to see the two sisters.

Lan Murian was a little confused at first, until she heard the whole story, she knew that Lan Shihuai had scolded the younger generation of the Blue Clan not long ago.

No wonder, I was still wondering why Senior Sister was so well-informed. It turned out that she was awakened by the elders of the Lan Clan... Mu Zhian reached out to touch Senior Sister's hand, but Lan Murian gently took a half step back, avoiding his intimate action.

"Is Senior Sister still angry?"

Mu Zhian showed a bitter look: "You should know that many times I can't help myself..."

"Heh."

Lan Murian immediately gave the boy a sneer: "Do you want to say that it was Qingdi and the others who took the initiative to have sex with you, not you who took the initiative to be intimate with them?"

Although he said so, in fact, what Junior Brother said seemed to be fine...

If those powerful people in the Hedao Realm wanted to do something... Can Junior Brother stop them?

In the final analysis, she was still too weak.

Although Lan Murian was not afraid of anyone among the cultivators of the same realm, if she faced an old woman with an age advantage like Qingdi and Gong Lianyue... then there was nothing she could do.

After all, she didn't know how much less time she had spent in cultivation than those old women.

Lan Murian looked at her junior brother with her bright eyes, but she felt a little frustrated.

As the recognized number one of her peers in Jiuzhou, she should have been at the age of glory, but facing those empresses who had already stood in Jiuzhou for thousands of years, she had no advantage at all.

"The secret of your natural furnace is now known to many ancient forces in Jiuzhou. I'm afraid that more and more people will come to you in the future."

Lan Murian's beautiful eyes, as clear as a pool of water, seemed to dim a little, and she said softly: "In the future, there will be more and more people around you. When I merge with the Tao in a few years, I'm afraid there will be no place for me around you."

"Sister, this is not like you at all."

Mu Zhian showed a helpless smile: "If I have to say it, it should be that I am worried that you will still be interested in me, a little cultivator, after you merge with the Tao in the future... And do you really think I will abandon you?"

"You are the only disciple of the sect master. In fact, even now when I walk with you, I feel inferior... Your talent and appearance are so perfect. In fact, I am not worthy of you, sister."

The sincere tone, coupled with the gentle eyes and handsome face, made Lan Murian's heartbeat slightly faster.

She suddenly realized something very important.

If it weren't for going to Yuzhou to meet the Medicine King, Mu Zhian might still be hovering at the beginning of the Return to Void realm.

So what Junior Brother said about him worrying about these things... seems to be possible.

"Or does Senior Sister regret it?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

He looked at the Senior Sister in white dress in front of him, who was as cold and flawless as the white moonlight, and whispered: "Do you regret being with me?"

Silence permeated the two of them, and the atmosphere seemed a little lonely.

After a long time, a familiar cold voice broke the silence: "I do regret it a little."

"But I don't regret being with you..."

Lan Murian looked at Junior Brother coldly, with a chill in her eyes, and her cold beautiful eyes seemed a little dark: "I regret why I didn't tie you up in the basement of Liangyi Peak after you entered the sect."

Mu Zhian: "..."

For some reason, seeing the serious look on Senior Sister's face, Mu Zhian inexplicably felt a slight chill on his back.

For some reason, he always felt that this Senior Sister was not joking, but really thought so.

Mu Zhian coughed lightly, trying to stay calm, and said jokingly: "If we really do this, the elders of the sect should find out soon, right?"

"No?"

Lan Mulian tilted her head slightly and smiled: "Only my master and I live in Liangyi Peak, and no disciples will pass by."

"Perhaps there will be people looking for you everywhere at first, but no one will think that I imprison you in Liangyi Peak...and then in a month or two, this matter will be over."

It's not like this kind of mysterious and strange things have never happened in the Aye Yi Sect before.

The disciple mysteriously disappeared within a few days of joining the sect.

At first, the elders in the sect were still looking for someone, but in the end, nothing happened.

"Senior sister, can you please stop making such dangerous jokes as if nothing happened..." Mu Zhian couldn't help but complain.

Lan Mulian glanced at him with contempt in his smile: "I'm not sure whether it's a joke or not."

There was always a hint of threat in his tone. Seeing Mu Zhian's worried look, Lan Mulian couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth slightly.

In fact, she had never had such dangerous thoughts about Mu Zhian... But seeing Mu Zhian's subtle look now, Lan Mulian felt an indescribable sense of joy in her heart.

Suddenly a bold idea came to me.

If one day he really used that talisman to teleport his junior brother back to Liangyi Peak, and then threw him into the basement... what would his expression be like?

Just as he was imagining throwing someone into the basement and playing around with him, Lan Mulian suddenly felt a pair of affectionate eyes looking at him. His voice was gentle and low: "Senior sister, so you don't regret being with me." Together, right?"

Why does this guy keep asking such things so well... Lan Mulian came back to his senses, feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by the young man. His cold face was stained with a faint blush, and he silently looked away.

After a long silence, he nodded lightly and said "Yes".

Mu Zhian finally felt relieved. He put his hand on Lan Mulian's slender waist, and then without Lan Mulian even reacting, he lowered his head and kissed her red lips gently.

The spiritual energy of the Tiansheng Furnace was quietly circulating at this moment, and then continued to flow into Lan Mulian's body.

The familiar breath and warm embrace were almost intoxicating, and made Lan Mulian's eyes slightly dazed.

Just the gentle contact between lips makes one's heart beat.

Mu Zhian's kiss was very skillful, making people's minds go blank and wanting to be completely immersed in it.

The spiritual energy in his body had been poured into Lan Mulian's body at this moment, and the warm breath filled the nose, making Lan Mulian's heart gradually intoxicated.

She knew that she could no longer leave her junior brother...

Not only because of the natural furnace cauldron.

She wants everything from her junior brother, and wants to get closer to him...

Lan Mulian slowly closed her eyes and allowed Mu Zhian to press her against the big tree behind her to plead with her.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a very familiar and reassuring aura.

That was not the aura of the natural furnace, nor was it the aura of Mu Zhian.

Lan Mulian opened her eyes in a daze, looking at the young man's handsome face so close at hand, she gently hooked her hands around his neck, and held her delicate body in his arms even more affectionately.

At the same time, her beautiful eyes quietly changed from the original coldness to a majestic golden color.

The Holy Body of Destiny was completely activated at this moment. Even though Lan Mulian could not see through people whose realm was higher than his own, it was not difficult to see through Mu Zhian's origin.

She wanted to see which woman had left this breath of comfort in her junior brother's body.

Lan Mulian looked directly at Mu Zhian's body.

Mu Zhian's origin was clearly visible at this moment, and the spiritual energy flowing in his body was completely reflected in his field of vision.

As if he had seen something, Lan Mulian's body froze slightly, and his eyes were dull and stunned as he stared at the aura in Mu Zhian's body that seemed to exude a hint of chill.

At the same time, a name came to mind: ... Ancestor.

"..."

If Lan Mulian was full of tenderness and affection for Mu Zhian before, now her eyes have gradually become colder.

At this time, Mu Zhian let go of Lan Mulian's soft lips, looked down at the beauty in his arms, and said softly: "Senior sister, do you still like the aura of the natural furnace?"

"I like it." Lan Mulian said expressionlessly.

Then, she continued to say quietly: "But there is something I don't know if I should remind you."

Mu Zhian showed a gentle smile like sunshine: "What?"

"The spiritual energy you just gave me contains the breath left by our ancestors."

Mu Zhian's smile faltered.

At this time, he saw Lan Mulian silently take out a golden talisman.

For some reason, the moment he saw this talisman, Mu Zhian felt an indescribable sense of crisis.

Senior sister seemed to have turned dark... Mu Zhian glanced around, using his eyes to send a distress signal to the woman in the darkness: "Sister Mengrou, help, help, help!"

However, I could only vaguely hear a mocking sneer coming from the darkness.

Mu Zhian forced himself to calm down and tried to stabilize his senior sister: "Senior sister, you should know that your ancestor's spiritual consciousness is weak, so..."

Lan Mulian glanced at the young man lightly and said softly: "Do you still remember what this talisman is?"

Mu Zhian said nothing.

"This is the reward of the Immortal Ascension Conference, the teleportation talisman hand-refined by Master."

Lan Mulian smiled sweetly: "It has only one function."

The next moment, Lan Mulian burned the golden talisman in his hand.

The black fog that originally permeated the Taichu Lake seemed to be quietly moved by the wind, silently enveloping Mu Zhian.

The black fog was like a woman's hand, gently caressing his face.

Then, the black fog quietly wrapped him in it.

Then, a strong suction came, and Mu Zhian disappeared very abruptly.

When he came back to his senses again, what appeared in his vision was no longer the Taichu Lake just now, but a very familiar boudoir.

Mu Zhian tried to move his body, but found that several black chains appeared at some point to restrain his hands and feet.

Oh, Senior Sister is serious? !

Mu Zhian finally realized the seriousness of the problem. He originally wanted to let Senior Sister accept all this little by little, but he didn't expect that the Heavenly Destiny Holy Body was so tricky that even the breath of someone in his body could be seen clearly...

At this moment, footsteps were faintly heard at the door.

After a while, the door quietly opened.

Mu Zhian turned his head and said subconsciously:

"Sister Sect Leader?!"

Shang Yanfei looked at the tied-up boy with curiosity, and seemed to not understand what was going on.

Then, after taking a few glances at the black chains on Mu Zhian, she seemed to gradually understand everything, and smiled softly, "So, did Mu Lian use the teleportation talisman I made?"

"It's a long story... Anyway, can you ask the Sect Master sister to help me unlock the lock first? By the way, what kind of chain is this? I can't get rid of it at all."

After Mu Zhian finished speaking, he saw Shang Yanfei blinking her beautiful eyes and smiling, "This is a replica of the Immortal Gold Lock. It's normal that you can't unlock it."

"But do you really want to unlock it now?"

Mu Zhian answered as a matter of course: "Of course, after all, no one wants their freedom to be restricted."

"It's just a temporary restriction."

Shang Yanfei said lightly: "I said before that the first place in the Ascension Conference can get Mu Zhian as a reward..."

"So don't you consider my freedom?" Mu Zhian complained.

Although this time he also made his senior sister angry and let the other party use the talisman.

Shang Yanfei pondered for a moment, nodded thoughtfully: "That's true... I can't force another disciple to do something he doesn't like just to satisfy the wishes of one disciple."

"But if I don't do this, I'm afraid that the disciples of the sect won't take my words seriously in the future. They will think that I am a sect leader who can't keep my promises."

She seemed to be really distressed, with a bit of thought in her tone.

Mu Zhian: "So you want to temporarily sacrifice my freedom to keep your promise...? This doesn't seem to be in line with the style of a sect leader, right?"

"You're right, it's really not good to force disciples of the sect to do something you hate."

"Unless the other party voluntarily sacrifices his freedom temporarily."

Shang Yanfei walked to Lan Murian's bed and sat down slowly, with her beautiful legs crossed under her gorgeous dress.

Then, she showed a charming smile that captivated people.

She supported the edge of the bed with one hand, and placed her other cool jade hand on Mu Zhian's thigh. With a slight curve at the corner of her mouth, she whispered in a charming voice: "How about as compensation for the temporary sacrifice of freedom... Sister, can you satisfy you now?"

"You can do whatever you want to me?"

Mu Zhian's body stiffened.

Even though he had suppressed the fire of Shang Yanfei before, there were still a lot of mysteries about this woman that had not been solved.

And at this moment in this secret room, the woman's every frown and smile, and even the soft words lingering in her ears, were full of different temptations.

This proposal...Mu Zhian couldn't refuse.
