"Senior Brother, what brings you here?"
Lin Wanwan immediately suppressed her anger and put on a shy and respectful expression.
She was secretly delighted, never expecting to be so lucky. She had only been reborn for a short time, yet she was able to run into Mu Yuan here.
Mu Yuan's gaze swept over the group of inner disciples of the Tianyan Sect, without giving Lin Wanwan a single glance.
"Senior Brother!"
The disciples immediately bowed respectfully in a tense manner.
Mu Yuan smiled and nodded, his gaze falling on the only person in the room who hadn't turned his head even once since he appeared.
Is this the master's newly accepted apprentice?
Mu Yuan was surprised.
For centuries, he had been well aware of how attractive his physical appearance and the gentle image of the senior disciple he presented to others were to cultivators.
Ordinary cultivators, whether inside or outside the Tianyan Sect, regardless of gender, will react to him to some extent.
They would blush and steal glances, and become incoherent, their admiration and deliberate attempts to get closer making no attempt to hide it.
But this newly accepted apprentice of Yinfeng didn't even glance at him once from beginning to end.
It was as if he, Mu Yuan, was no different from the trees and stones around him.
How can there be people who don't pay any attention to him at all?
"This must be the new junior sister who joined Hidden Peak? Has she run into some trouble?"
"Mu Yuan of Tianyan Peak, if Junior Sister needs any help, please feel free to ask."
Mu Yuan's smile deepened as he walked towards Zi Xi, his voice even gentler than before, carrying just the right amount of concern.
He adopted a humble posture and spoke with such sincerity that it could bewitch people, appearing as a helpful and approachable senior disciple.
Zi Xi then slowly turned her head to look at him, who was full of cunning.
This person must have been Nezha in his past life; he's got all the cunning in him.
"Thank you for your concern, senior brother. I am training with you all and would not dare to trouble you. I can handle these monsters."
Her gaze was calm and unwavering, and she gave a polite but distant nod.
As if confirming who was speaking, her gaze lingered on Mu Yuan's exceptionally handsome face for only a moment before shifting away.
His polite tone shut out all of Mu Yuan's gentleness and goodwill.
Moreover, there was no surprise or shyness in that glance, nor was there any sense of being flattered.
They didn't even show the awe or envy that ordinary people would have when they see a sect's prodigy.
Only pure and complete alienation and calmness.
Mu Yuan's perfect smile cracked almost imperceptibly.
It's clear that this junior sister isn't playing hard to get or feigning aloofness.
From birth until now, has Mu Yuan truly been completely and utterly ignored?
This realization instantly transformed Mu Yuan's slight curiosity into a deep interest.
That's interesting, so very interesting!
How could this junior sister be such a wonderful person?
His fox-like eyes, which always held a hint of a smile, narrowed slightly, a subtle, probing look flashing across them.
Instead of being annoyed by being ignored, he felt his laziness dissipate and his whole body became more energetic.
"Junior sister, there's no need to be so polite. As members of the same sect, it's only right that we help each other."
Mu Yuan's smile grew even more gentle, yet he began to subtly linger beside Zi Xi.
Lin Wanwan watched from the side, almost grinding her teeth in frustration.
She tried desperately to attract Mu Yuan's attention, but Mu Yuan's gaze kept lingering on Liu Zixi, even though Liu Zixi didn't pay much attention to him.
