After her senior sister was reborn, she actually became a powerful and arrogant protagonist?!

Gu Lin, who was originally eager to try, had no choice but to give up after seeing this scene.

Even if he didn't know what had happened in Qiu Kingdom, the names Qiu Lin and Qiu Jun immediately suggested a close relationship.

Although clues are hard to come by, but...

Gu Lin glanced at Chu Luobai, who was gradually walking away.

If he wanted to intervene, he would have to see if Chu Luobai, a sword cultivator at the Dao Integration Realm, would agree.

"No wonder Master and Teacher kept saying that sword cultivators are annoying; now it seems that's true."

Gu Lin sighed deeply and finally decided to follow Chu Luobai.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, aren't you afraid that leaving your junior brother alone there like this might cause him distress, damage his Dao heart, and affect his future cultivation?"

"If he can't even handle this little thing, he won't go very far in the path of sword cultivation."

Chu Luobai didn't even turn her head, and said calmly, the worry in her eyes disappearing in an instant.

"You sword cultivators are quite strict."

Gu Lin pursed his lips and glanced back at Qiu Lin with a hint of sympathy.

Qiu Jun was saying something with a sinister grin on his face, while Qiu Lin had his back to him, so his expression was not visible.

But judging from Qiu Lin's slightly trembling body, he was probably not in a good mood.

"By the way, can you do me a favor?"

Gu Lin was still feeling sympathetic when he suddenly heard Chu Luobai say this.

......................................................................

Outside the capital of the Autumn Kingdom.

Xiao Lin looked at the towering city walls and gasped for breath.

"Where did my senior brother go?"

"The red tree disappeared; it must have been my senior brother's doing..."

Once his breathing had calmed down, Xiao Lin continued walking towards the city gate.

"How strange! Such a large town for ordinary people, yet there isn't even a gatekeeper?"

As he flew into the air, Xiao Lin saw a scene of utter devastation in the distance.

In the center of the palace road, a large, dark crowd had gathered.

"Is this... over?"

Xiao Lin subconsciously looked for his senior brother's figure, and soon his gaze landed on the edge of the crowd.

Gu Lin squatted on the ground, his right hand constantly waving, golden mysterious runes flowing from his fingertips.

"Senior brother, why are you running so fast all by yourself?"

Xiao Lin landed beside Gu Lin and complained with dissatisfaction.

"It's not that I wanted to leave."

Gu Lin glanced meaningfully at Chu Luobai.

"The beads that Fellow Daoist Gu gave me are very useful. If you have more in the future, please give me a few more."

Chu Luobai raised an eyebrow, showing no intention of hiding anything.

"...That thing isn't something you can just take out casually."

Gu Lin sighed deeply. If it weren't for the immense temptation of what Chu Luobai offered, he would have been in a much better position.

How could he, an elite disciple of the Tianyan Sect, have fallen to the point of having to set up his own formation?

Xiao Lin watched from the side, finding it quite strange.

When has my senior brother, who became famous at a young age, ever been so obedient except in front of the sect leader?

I was just a little late, but how much did I miss?

Sensing Xiao Lin's teasing gaze, Gu Lin frowned and directly tossed the formation to him.

"The Demon-Trapping Formation, if you don't complete it today, you won't get any rest."

"Wait a minute, senior brother..."

Faced with this unexpected disaster, Xiao Lin was in a panic.

He's not Gu Lin; he definitely can't handle such a massive demon-trapping formation today!

Chu Luobai ignored the two fellow disciples beside him and looked into the distance.

After a long while, Qiu Lin slowly walked over, her expression forlorn.

He silently walked to the tent where Qiu Xue was and sat down, staring at Qiu Xue, who was still unconscious, without saying a word.

Chu Luobai looked at the bloodstains on the hem of his clothes, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Although Qiu Jun's core had changed, his body was still real.

She had been thinking for a while whether it was too harsh to make Qiu Lin bear the blame for 'parricide' alone.

Even now, Chu Luobai cannot guarantee that what he did was definitely right.

Sensing the approaching presence behind him, Qiu Lin merely raised his head slightly without making any further moves.

Chu Luobai stood silently behind Qiu Lin, his gaze fixed on Qiu Xue.

After taking the pill, Qiu Xue's complexion became much rosier, and her breathing became steady.

After a long silence, Qiu Lin finally spoke.

"Senior sister, I'm fine, don't worry about me."

The muffled sound made it seem as if he was about to cry.

Chu Luobai reached out and gently stroked Qiu Lin's head without saying a word.

A silence fell between them. After a long while, Qiu Lin continued.

"Back then, my father sought help from the Frost Frost Sect to protect the Autumn Kingdom. They were clearly the righteous ones."

Why would this happen...?

"If I could have returned sooner, my elder sister and younger sister wouldn't have had to suffer like this..."

Qiu Lin's tone grew increasingly heavy, and his speech became increasingly fragmented.

Chu Luobai knew that saying anything now would be useless, so he just gently stroked Qiu Lin's head again and again.

"Senior sister, I hate it so much."

Qiu Lin turned around, buried her head in Chu Luobai's waist, and began to sob.

far away.

Xiao Lin, unaware of the inside story, looked on with envy.

"It's so nice to have a senior sister... When I'm in a bad mood, I can get comfort from a gentle senior sister."

thump.

Gu Lin reached out and smacked Xiao Lin hard on the head.

"What? Are you being treated badly by having me as your senior brother?"

"This matter is a bit complicated. Don't say anything careless later. If you say something inappropriate and get killed by Chu Luobai, I won't be able to save you."

As he spoke, Gu Lin looked at Chu Luobai in the distance with some concern.

Previously, Chu Luobai said that after Qiu Jun died, he would give him a "big gift" that was related to the Demon Language Insect.

Gu Lin was only willing to help Chu Luobai set up the formation here because of that 'big gift'.

"She hasn't forgotten, has she...?"

Suddenly, Chu Luobai, who was in the distance, lowered her head and said something to Qiu Lin, then looked up and her eyes met Gu Lin's.

“…”

In that instant, Gu Lin felt like he'd been caught red-handed.

Chu Luobai waved to him, as if signaling him to come over.

"Let's have a look together."

Gu Lin patted Xiao Lin on the shoulder.

When the two reached the outside of the tent, Qiu Lin had returned to normal and took a deep look into the tent.

"My younger sister needs to rest. Please come over here to discuss matters."

The four found a quiet spot to sit down, and Qiu Lin began to slowly recount everything he had learned from Qiu Jun.

After Qiu Lin left Qiu Kingdom, the people in the southern border somehow learned that Qiu Kingdom had no successor and began to put pressure on Qiu Kingdom.

They demanded that Qiu Jun send the remaining two princesses to the southern border. Qiu Jun was naturally unwilling, but when he was forced into a corner, he made a decision.

That means seeking help from the nearby Frostfrost Sect.

Within the Frost Cold Sect, Qiu Jun encounters the 'National Preceptor' who claims to be able to save the Qiu Kingdom from its dire straits.

No one knows what the Grand Preceptor did, but the families in the southern border region compromised and sent the detained people back.

From then on, the old emperor Qiu Jun trusted this national advisor more and more.

When the imperial advisor, using the pretext of gathering the power of all the people to protect the entire nation, wanted to plant a blood sacrifice tree in the imperial city, the old emperor did not refuse...

By the time Princess Qiuyue realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

And after Akizuki confronted the Imperial Advisor, Akizuki actually began to agree to this approach.

"These are all things my father told me."

Qiu Lin whispered. Gu Lin and Chu Luobai exchanged a glance. They knew in their hearts that the father Qiu Lin was referring to was the old emperor who loved his people.

But wasn't Qiu Jun's soul already devoured?
