After All, They Are the Protagonists

It seems that this Great Elder is also a cultivator... Mu Zhian inevitably felt a little regretful, and nodded: "If the Great Elder is free in the future, remember to tell him, I have something to ask him."

The spy nodded in response.

Unable to meet the Great Elder, Mu Zhian had no choice but to go back to his room, intending to study the secret of the bronze piece by himself.

When passing by the courtyard, she happened to meet the noble and cold Bai Ruoxi.

Standing in front of the yard, she was wearing a long white dress with two thin shoulder straps lightly draped over her attractive shoulders. Her skin was white and crystal clear, and she looked almost perfect from the profile.

A few strands of hair hung in front of her shoulders, adding a bit of charm that was never there before.

As if aware of Mu Zhian's existence, she slightly turned her head to look, and smiled slightly: "Master Mu, good morning."

Mu Zhi'an nodded slightly, and walked towards Bai Ruoxi.

"Master Mu probably went to Chenxi Auction House this morning, right? Did you find the relevant medicinal materials?" When Bai Ruoxi said this, there was a little hope in his eyes.

If the relevant medicinal materials were found, her father would be cured within two days.

The Bai family can only stabilize the situation with this pillar now.

Mu Zhi'an played with the bronze piece in his hand, and said with a light smile, "I found it, and there are unexpected gains."

Bai Ruoxi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she was quickly attracted by the bronze piece in Mu Zhian's hand.

Slightly fixed on the bronze piece, Bai Ruoxi's eyes moved slightly, and she suddenly said, "Can you show me?"

"Of course, but this thing has a mysterious origin, I'm afraid it's not so easy to crack its secret—"

As soon as Mu Zhi'an finished speaking, she saw Bai Ruoxi lower her head slightly, and unfastened the pendant on her chest.

Mu Zhian couldn't help but take another look. From his perspective, what he could see was completely different from usual.

Hmm... big and white.

But soon, Mu Zhian's gaze was attracted by the ornament in Bai Ruoxi's palm.

At this moment, in Bai Ruoxi's palm is also a bronze piece that looks like a crescent moon, which is exactly the same as the bronze piece he took before.

The two bronze pieces seemed to possess spiritual consciousness, and under Mu Zhian's gaze, they quietly melted together.

At the same time, behind Bai Ruoxi, an ancient bronze sword appeared in sight, and a terrifying sense of coercion came oncoming.

Mu Zhi'an looked at this scene in amazement, and couldn't help looking at the elegant and cold beauty, and said, "Ruoxi, where did you get this bronze piece?"

Bai Ruoxi explained: "This is handed down from my father's generation. My father said that this bronze pendant has been passed down for many generations. It is the amulet of the ancestors to protect the Bai family."

As she spoke, she handed the bronze pendant to Mu Zhi'an.

"Young Master Mu, please accept this if you don't mind. Although the Tongmai Pill is gone, this thing may help you in the future. As long as you inject spiritual energy, the ability of the bronze pendant will be activated."

Mu Zhi'an took the bronze pendant and played with it for a while, trying to infuse spiritual energy.

However, to no avail.

It seems that this thing has nothing to do with me after all... Or, is this an ancient weapon that only descendants of the Bai family can use?

Mu Zhi'an soon felt relieved, and walked behind Bai Ruoxi.

"Master Mu..."

Bai Ruoxi subconsciously wanted to turn back, but Mu Zhian had already hung the bronze pendant on Bai Ruoxi's jade-like snow-white neck.

"Since this thing was handed down from your ancestors, then I have no reason to snatch it up. You should keep it for yourself." Mu Zhi'an said.

Bai Ruoxi stared straight at Mu Zhi'an with a pair of smart eyes, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Obviously when he asked Mu Zhi'an for help before, he also said that he would only do it if he offered benefits that would make Mu's heart move.

But now, the Bai family didn't give corresponding benefits, but he still helped.

And he also gave her the bronze piece he got.

Thinking of Mu Zhi'an's actions in the past few days, Bai Ruoxi's heart seemed to be gently poked somewhere soft.

She subconsciously put her hand in front of her full chest, and gently clenched the bronze pendant.

When Bai Ruoxi looked up at Mu Zhi'an again, the light in her eyes softened completely, and the last trace of guard in her heart disappeared quietly.

At this time, Mu Zhi'an suddenly asked: "Can you try injecting spiritual energy again?"

It was only now that Bai Ruoxi came back to her senses, and upon hearing this, she injected spiritual energy into the bronze pendant again.

Behind her, a bronze sword suddenly appeared, and the powerful coercion struck again.

Although this pendant is just two pieces of bronze fused together, judging from the aura emanating from the bronze pendant at this time, if the bronze sword behind it is sacrificed, at least that blow can have the power of refining the gods.

Silently looking at the bronze sword that released terrifying coercion, and then glanced at the girl again, Mu Zhi'an was speechless for a long time.

Could it be that she is the protagonist... Mu Zhian complained silently in his heart.

Chapter 33

This bronze shard looks like it should have been a weapon of some ancient and powerful weapon, and it is suspected to have been left by the ancestors of the Bai family?

That's why now Bai Ruoxi can easily activate the power of this bronze sword after injecting spiritual energy...

Mu Zhi'an looked at the bronze sword behind Bai Ruoxi that seemed to penetrate between the sky and the earth, and secretly guessed in his heart.

Perhaps sensing that Mu Zhi'an's gaze was staring at her directly, Bai Ruoxi's eyes flickered slightly, and a trace of shame flashed across her eyes, and said softly:

"Master Mu, why are you staring at me?"

Although the girls in the high-cold period made people have a desire to conquer, but now Bai Ruoxi, who has added a bit of weakness due to her family's embarrassment, seems to be not bad...

Mu Zhian returned to reality from the thoughts just now, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what will happen in Longshou Forest two days later."

As he said that, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "How high are you practicing Qi now?"

"Eight grades of Qi training." Bai Ruoxi said softly.

Mu Zhi'an froze for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the graceful young girl.

What happened to Bai Ruoxi during this time made him almost forget that this young lady of the Bai family is not just a vase, she is also a genius among her peers.

The demon girl from the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce, the eldest lady from the Bai family, and the former genius Ye Yu from the Ye family, these three are among the top talents in Tianxuan City.

However, Ye Yu is different from the other two. He has such a cultivation speed purely because of the aura of heaven.

"If the bronze sword is activated, it may be able to inflict a certain degree of heavy damage on the condition that the cultivator in the refining realm has no precautions." Bai Ruoxi then added.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly.

These days, it's embarrassing to call yourself a genius if you can't leapfrog to kill.

Only geniuses who can leapfrog kills have real gold content!

Only Mu Zhi'an is still at the second level of Qi training.

It's fun to think about.

In my impression, the supporting villains defeated by the so-called "protagonist" are basically at a higher level than the protagonist, but just not too much higher.

All in all, there will not be too much difference in the realm between the two parties, which just gives the protagonist the possibility to slap his face.

"Master Mu, are you sure you can defeat Ye Yu?" Bai Ruoxi asked suddenly.

Mu Zhian shook his head: "No."

After he finished speaking, seeing the worry in Bai Ruoxi's beautiful eyes, he couldn't help raising his hand and gently patted the girl's head.

"It doesn't matter whether you can win against Ye Yu." Mu Zhian continued.

From the very beginning, Mu Zhian's mind was not on the competition... The real focus is not on the competition, but on suppressing the bandits.

Winning or losing the competition with Ye Yu doesn't matter at all.

"Can I go to Longshou Forest with you that day?" Bai Ruoxi continued to ask.

Mu Zhi'an nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean, and I may have to trouble you with something at that time."

If Bai Ruoxi was just purely practicing Qi, it might not be of much use when "suppressing bandits".

But if she was able to leapfrog the ranks and fight, then she would sacrifice that bronze sword... that would be one of the cards that caught her by surprise.

Hearing this, Bai Ruoxi shook her head lightly, and said, "Young Master Mu, you don't have to be so polite. You can't repay Ruoxi for your kindness. If you need anything, just say it."

Ever since Mu Zhian went to see Bai's father that night, Bai Ruoxi had already made up her mind that no matter what the result was, she must repay Mu Zhian's kindness.

"When the time comes, I will secretly protect you." Bai Ruoxi continued.

Once the battle between the god refining realms broke out in Longshou Forest, even Wei Mengrou might not be able to take care of Mu Zhi'an all the time.

And at that time, this important task should naturally be done by her.

Hearing the girl's earnest words, Mu Zhi'an's expression became slightly subtle.

Although I know that Bai Ruoxi has good intentions, why does it feel weird...

Obviously they are the same age, but the other party actually said that he wants to protect himself...

Seeming to be a little uncomfortable being stared at by Mu Zhian, Bai Ruoxi lowered her eyes slightly, and said softly, "Young Master Mu, you just said something..."

Mu Zhian came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I will trouble you then."

His voice changed suddenly: "However, you don't need to protect me specially. There will be other things you need to do then. And this thing, only you can do it."

Bai Ruoxi slowly raised her head to look at Mu Zhi'an, with a puzzled look in her eyes.

Mu Zhi'an took two steps forward, moved close to the girl's earlobe, and said something softly.

The warm breath whispered in his ears, making Bai Ruoxi's crystal earlobes feel a little hot, and his eyes were even stained with a layer of mist, shining brightly in the sun.

It was not until she heard Mu Zhian's voice ringing in her ears, and it took a while, that Bai Ruoxi calmed down slowly, and nodded solemnly:

"I see... If it really happens as Young Master Mu expected, then I will be the one to complete the final blow."

Mu Zhian nodded in satisfaction: "I will trouble you then."

When the two were chatting in the yard, a maid walked into the yard not far away, and seeing the cold beauty in a white dress with a fairy-like face at this time, her face was flushed like drunkenness, she couldn't help hesitating for a while. I wonder if I disturbed the young master.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say." Mu Zhi'an said calmly.

Only then did the maid come to her senses, and said respectfully, "Master, the servants of the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce are asking to see you outside."
