After All, They Are the Protagonists

Mu Zhian invited her to Mu's house just to sit there for a day, and then send her back to Bai's house when it was almost nightfall...

Facing Bai Ruoxi's eyes full of confusion, Mu Zhian put down his teacup lightly, and said with a smile, "I wonder if Miss Bai has ever tried to sneak into my house at night?"

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly, and said softly: "Why did I go home secretly..."

Bai Yuanfeng supported her daughter marrying into the shepherd's family. If she knew that Bai Ruoxi was at the shepherd's family tonight, she would not say anything.

It stands to reason that she has no reason to sneak home.

Mu Zhi'an glanced at the cold-tempered beauty, and said quietly, "You'll know soon."

Chapter 23

that night.

The carriage that Mu Zhian was riding in was driving through the streets late at night, and stopped before reaching Bai's house.

Mu Zhi'an jumped out of the carriage, came to Bai Ruoxi's side, opened the curtain, and stretched out his hand towards her.

Bai Ruoxi glanced at him in the dark, stretched out her hand to hold the palm, and got out of the carriage.

She glanced at the surrounding environment, and finally couldn't hold back, and asked, "Master Mu, why did we sneak to Bai's house?"

This is obviously her family's mansion, but Mu Zhi'an let her sneak into the White Mansion like a thief at night, it is really unimaginable.

"Miss Bai, where is Uncle Bai after he was seriously injured in the attack?" Mu Zhi'an asked.

Bai Ruoxi was startled, first she was surprised why Mu Zhian knew about this matter.

But after thinking about it, it had been such a long time since he had seen the head of the Bai family. With the power of the Mu family in Tianxuan City, it was not difficult to secretly investigate some things.

She said softly: "My father is healing in a very safe place now, and there are two guards guarding him in turn."

"That is to say, your mother is the one who manages the White House now, right?" Mu Zhi'an asked.

Bai Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"In other words, after Miss Bai leaves, there are only a few servants left in the White Mansion, and Mrs. Bai is alone, right?" Mu Zhian reconfirmed.

"Master Mu, what exactly do you want to say?" Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable inexplicably.

"Miss Bai will find out in a while." Zhi Mu settled down, "However, it may not be until tomorrow night."

While speaking, he turned his head to look at the maid hiding in the darkness, and said, "Sister Mengrou, I'll leave it to you."

Bai Ruoxi looked back subconsciously, only to realize that, at some point, there was a woman behind them, wearing a light yellow dress and a pair of short boots. She was clearly dressed beautifully, but seemed to be hidden in the night.

If Mu Zhi'an hadn't spoken, Bai Ruoxi might not have noticed the existence of this maid until now.

"Don't be surprised, among other things, she is definitely a top existence in the realm of refining gods in terms of covering breath." Mu Zhi'an explained.

Among the cultivators in the God Realm that Mu Zhian knew, Wei Mengrou might not be the strongest, but he was the one with the most convenient abilities.

The error in the black-robed man's information that day was also because Wei Mengrou's ability to conceal his breath was at its peak. He didn't realize that besides the old man, there was another Wei Mengrou in the White Mansion who kept covering his own breath all the time.

Because of this, Mu Zhian never treated Wei Mengrou as a maid from the beginning to the end.

After all, how can you expect others to treat you sincerely if you have never been sincere to others?

"Don't exceed half an hour. Once the time has passed, I can't guarantee that the two of you will not be noticed." Wei Mengrou seriously warned.

Mu Zhian nodded, looked at the girl beside him, and said, "Let's go."

Bai Ruoxi was a little confused, but seeing that Mu Zhi'an had already jumped onto the fence of the mansion, she didn't hesitate anymore, she stepped on the ground, and her whole body jumped up slightly, stepping on the fence.

Then, looking sideways at Mu Zhian, he said softly, "Master Mu, what exactly do you want to do?"

Mu Zhian looked around the mansion, it was night, the moonlight was shining on the yard, the wind moved the leaves, and the leaves rustled in the dimness.

It seems that the Bai family really doesn't have any servants now... Mu Zhian understood slightly in his heart, glanced sideways at Bai Ruoxi, and said:

"Wait for me here for a while, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Before Bai Ruoxi could speak, Mu Zhian had already jumped off the wall.

If the refinement period is just to strengthen one's own physique, then in the qi training period, one can use "qi", the aura in the body.

Using this energy, everyone can fly over the wall.

It's a pity, if I get to the God Refining Realm, I should be patrolling in mid-air with a flying sword now... Muzhi An Xianting strolled in the backyard of the White Mansion, and I couldn't help but feel a little regretful in my heart.

After thinking about it, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and walked quietly in the courtyard of the Bai Mansion, looking for the room where Bai Yuanfeng lived.

His eyes quickly fell on the front of the second room from the front in the backyard. Behind the door, the flickering candlelight could be clearly seen, and a female curve was faintly visible behind the door.

Although Wei Mengrou helped to cover his breath, just in case, Mu Zhian still covered his own breath alone.

He walked forward slowly, came to the door, and listened.

No sound was heard.

It's a pity, I really don't know why there are no paper doors that can be broken with a finger in ancient times, otherwise you can just poke a hole in the door with your finger now to see what's going on inside.

Mu Zhian inevitably felt a little regretful.

But he didn't give up, his eyes searched around, and soon he saw an open window on the side of the house.

He adjusted his breathing slightly, stepped forward quietly, and looked at the scene in the window.

Then, his eyes were suddenly a little disappointed.

In the room, Bai Yuanfeng was the only one sitting on the brocade table, wearing a silk nightgown, she looked much older after taking off the light makeup, but she was considered the best-looking among her peers.

It's just that after removing the makeup, there is still a big gap compared with his own daughter.

Is the man in the black robe lying to me, or is Bai Yuanfeng too cautious...

Mu Zhian thought to himself.

Logically speaking, the man in black should not be able to tell such a lie that can be exposed at the first poke.

In other words, it really was Bai Yuanfeng who was too cautious...

Just when Mu Zhian thought of this, someone behind him patted him lightly on the shoulder.

Mu Zhi'an's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

Bai Ruoxi stood behind him at some point, her beautiful eyes sullen, but she tried her best to lower her voice, and said, "Master Mu, why did you sneak into my mother's room at night—"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Zhi'an suddenly felt a chill run down his back. He covered Bai Ruoxi's mouth with one hand, held her in his arms, hid her by the window, and pressed against the wall.

Bai Ruoxi's eyes widened slightly, and she turned her head to look at the young man behind her in surprise.

After finally pushing away Mu Zhian's palm, he was about to ask.At this time, she suddenly seemed to feel something, and subconsciously turned her head to look into the air.

In the originally silent backyard, a stream of light suddenly fell quietly.

When the streamer's light disappeared, a majestic-looking man stepped on the flying sword and jumped down.

Gongsun Xiong...

Bai Ruoxi's eyes widened slowly, unable to hide the shock in them.

How did Gongsun Xiong appear in the White House?

And then, what made Bai Ruoxi even more unbelievable was that after a while, the door quietly opened, Bai Yuanfeng pushed the door open, and invited Gongsunxiong into the room with a smile on his face.

Chapter 24 It's time to meet the parents

After a short period of sluggishness, Bai Ruoxi seemed a little unbelievable. She wanted to get up and look through the window to see what happened in the room.

Mu Zhian immediately grabbed her hand, put his fingers in front of his mouth, and let out a "shh".

Bai Yuanfeng's realm is average, peeping at her will not be discovered, but Gongsunxiong is different.

Even if he relaxes his vigilance after seeing Bai Yuanfeng, and Wei Mengrou helps cover his aura, there is no guarantee that he will not be noticed.

But even so, Mu Zhi'an could still vaguely hear the sound of intimacy coming from the room.

Just hearing this intimate sound, there is no need to continue to confirm it.

Looking at Bai Ruoxi's pale face, Mu Zhi'an knew that for her, the blow to her heart was enormous.

He yelled twice softly, but Bai Ruoxi didn't respond.

Seeing this, Mu Zhi'an immediately grabbed Bai Ruoxi's hand, hugged her horizontally, turned around and quietly left the Bai Mansion.

It wasn't until she got into the carriage, hearing the sound of the horse's hooves trampling the ground, that Bai Ruoxi seemed to come back to her senses a little bit. She turned her head to look at the late night street scene that was slowly moving back, her eyes were extremely complicated.

Everything is obvious, no wonder Bai Yuanfeng has been unwilling to hand over Tongmai Wan, no wonder Bai's father was seriously injured in an attack on the way back.

All this was not accidental, but the result of the cooperation between Bai Yuanfeng and Gongsun's family that had been planned long ago.

"Master Mu, why do you think my mother said that?" Bai Ruoxi suddenly asked softly.

She turned to look at the young man beside her, "What good will it do her to destroy the Bai family?"

Mu Zhi'an sighed lightly: "It doesn't do any good."

"However, human emotions and behaviors are inherently unpredictable. If we can understand some people's thoughts just by relying on ordinary people's thinking, there will not be so many shocking crimes in the world."

"You can never understand how a person's brain circuits are constructed."

What is really scary has never been a beast, but a human heart.

woman's heart...

After Bai Ruoxi was silent for a long time, as if she had made up her mind, she looked up at Mu Zhian's side face, and said, "Master Mu, if you can save the Bai family, I will offer Tongmai Pills tomorrow."

Mu Zhian glanced at the girl, and sighed, "Miss Bai, do you think Tongmai Wan is still in the Bai family?"

Bai Ruoxi was dumbfounded.

After a long silence, she heard the sound of the carriage moving forward, and soon a helpless smile appeared on her face.

Slightly pursing her pale lips, she forced a smile, and said softly: "That's right... Anyway, thank you, Young Master Mu, today."

As she spoke, she asked the coachman to stop, and then opened the curtain to leave.

"Where are you going?" Mu Zhian asked.

Bai Ruoxi paused slightly when she was about to leave the carriage, and said softly: "I have to deal with the Bai family's affairs."

Now her father is seriously injured in bed, and her mother is the chief culprit of betraying the family. She is the only one who can bear this burden.
