Chapter 250: Mu Zhi’an’s Fish Pond Plan p1
T/N: I’ll return the translation for ‘My dear’ or ‘Dear’ that Bai Ruoxi says to “Mu Lang”.
The term ‘Lang’ basically means ‘dear’ or ‘darling’, a term of endearment.
After Bai Ruoxi regained consciousness, Mu Zhi’an released Ye Lingxuan’s hand and turned his attention to Bai Ruoxi.
She was once again dressed in her usual white palace dress adorned with plum blossoms. Even the dress couldn’t conceal her ample bosom, and her beautiful eyes held a hint of vulnerability.
She and the Sword Palace Master are truly two different types of beauties… Even though he had seen Bai Ruoxi countless times, Mu Zhi’an couldn’t help but admire her.
“Ruoxi, is the Sword Palace inheritance complete?” he asked.
Bai Ruoxi nodded slightly. “It’s complete, but it might take some time for me to master that first-grade cultivation technique,” she replied softly.
Her gaze softened as she looked at Mu Zhi’an.
Thinking back, from Tianxuan City to now, she owed everything to him. He had helped her selflessly, even facing danger and trouble for her sake.
And now, she finally had the strength to protect him.
Bai Ruoxi walked towards him and said softly, her eyes filled with tenderness, “I’ve caused you so much trouble in the past. From now on, let me protect you.”
If Ye Lingxuan weren’t present, Mu Zhi’an would have pulled Bai Ruoxi into his arms and showered her with affection. However, he was a fish pond master with self-control. He maintained a gentle smile and said, “There’s no need to be so polite between us, Ruoxi.”
“Let’s leave the Sword Palace first. We’ve been away from the sect for too long. The peak masters must be worried.”
They were both valued disciples. Moreover, Mu Zhi’an had just recently been in danger. Being away for too long would worry the peak masters, who cared deeply for their disciples.
Bai Ruoxi nodded slightly, then turned to Ye Lingxuan and said softly, “I’m sorry, Sister Lingxuan, for causing you so much trouble.”
Ye Lingxuan shook her head and smiled. “It was the Sword Palace Master who acted on her own, not you, Sister Ruoxi. There’s no need to apologize.”
Bai Ruoxi smiled faintly and fell silent.
The relationship between the two women was complicated. Ye Lingxuan knew about Bai Ruoxi’s relationship with Mu Zhi’an. After all, Bai Ruoxi had revealed it once before, even calling him ‘Mu Lang’.
However, Bai Ruoxi was still unsure about the relationship between Mu Zhi’an and Ye Lingxuan.
The reason was that whenever Mu Zhi’an was in bed with her, he would occasionally mention Ye Lingxuan, always saying: She’s just my younger sister.
Many people within the sect were fond of Ye Lingxuan, who was beautiful and innocent.
Therefore, Bai Ruoxi had a vague idea about their relationship but couldn’t be sure.
Mu Lang has been busy lately. It feels like we haven’t had a proper conversation in a while… Bai Ruoxi looked at Mu Zhi’an with a gentle gaze, her thoughts racing.
Perhaps I should use the Heart-Binding Lock tonight and ask him about his feelings for Lingxuan and the Jade Empress…
“What’s wrong, Ruoxi?” Mu Zhi’an asked, noticing her gaze.
“It’s nothing.”
…
“It’s nothing,” Bai Ruoxi replied softly, shaking her head slightly. Her gaze shifted to Wei Mengrou, who was still concealed.
“Let’s go back and talk,” she said.
Mu Zhi’an nodded and prepared to leave with them.
Before departing, he scanned the Sword Palace with his Spiritual Sense one last time, checking for anything he might have missed.
Having been granted access by the Sword Palace Master, Mu Zhi’an, who now controlled the palace’s formations, could easily sense everything within.
After confirming that he hadn’t missed anything, he was about to withdraw his Spiritual Sense.
Suddenly, he paused. His Spiritual Sense scanned a certain cave within a mountain peak repeatedly, a strange expression appearing on his face.
“What’s wrong?” Bai Ruoxi, noticing his unusual behavior, couldn’t help but ask.
“You two should head back first. I’ll join you later,” Mu Zhi’an said.
“Do you have other matters to attend to, Brother Mu?” Ye Lingxuan asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.
“The Jade Pool Holy Land’s Holy Maiden is trapped in a Celestial Realm within the Sword Palace. I need to modify the formations to release her,” Mu Zhi’an explained.
He had just discovered, while scanning the Sword Palace with his Spiritual Sense, that Yao Yue had somehow entered a sealed Celestial Realm. He didn’t know what she had obtained inside, but she was clearly trapped.
The Sword Palace was filled with complex Celestial Realms. If he didn’t help her, she might still be trapped there by the time the Ascension Ceremony ended.
After informing Bai Ruoxi and Ye Lingxuan, Mu Zhi’an flew towards a Celestial Realm on the south side of the Sword Palace.
The Celestial Realm on the south side was an ancient-looking hall, flanked by vibrant, unknown flowers and two glowing golden swords.
The massive doors of the hall were tightly shut. Mu Zhi’an tried to push them open, but they wouldn’t budge.
He closed his eyes and
After a moment of silence, she smiled, her smile as warm and gentle as a spring breeze.
“Alright, it’s a deal.”
