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

On Xiaoyao Peak.

Chu Luobai sat cross-legged on the bamboo bed, carefully recalling the guesses that Qiu Lin had told him before.

"Something that Qiu Lin, a child, could see clearly, I myself couldn't see clearly in my past life."

No wonder I lost so miserably in my previous life.

However, in this lifetime, it will probably not be so easy for Xiao Xuancheng to continue using his 'prestige' to suppress people.

Ever since Chu Luobai humiliated Xiao Xuancheng at the Enforcement Peak, the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak have become much more well-behaved.

When he went to class, he encountered disciples from other peaks within the sect, and their attitudes towards Chu Luobai improved considerably; some were even somewhat fearful.

Thanks to these events, Chu Luobai has been having an exceptionally easy and pleasant time these past few days.

Boom!

Suddenly there was a knock on the door of the bamboo house, and an anxious voice came from outside.

"Senior sister, come out quickly! Junior sister Yu Rou is in trouble."

As soon as Chu Luobai opened the door, he saw Wan Chi, Mu Yurou's number two supporter, standing anxiously at the door.

"The Qingyun Sword Sect is heavily guarded; what could possibly happen there?"

"Yes, it's those people from Qingyun Peak."

Through Wan Chi's intermittent descriptions, Chu Luobai finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Ever since Mu Yurou was punished by being forced to sweep the stairs of Qingyun Peak, she hasn't actually done a single day of cleaning herself.

Xiao Xuancheng left all the work of sweeping the stairs to the disciples of Qingyun Peak.

After several days of this, the disciples who were forced to work overtime couldn't take it anymore.

But they dared not say anything to Xiao Xuancheng, so on this day when the sect was distributing spirit stones, they surrounded Mu Yurou and demanded an explanation from her.

These disciples were not particularly skilled, but they had the advantage of numbers.

Wan Chi and Mu Yurou were both just pretty faces at the Qi Refining Realm, so they could only sneak off to Chu Luobai for help.

"No, as cultivators, we have to ask them for help even for such a small matter. Why don't you just let me cultivate for you?"

Chu Luobai frowned and refused without hesitation.

"There are so many people on Qingyun Peak. Junior Sister Mu is a weak woman. She will definitely suffer."

"Senior sister, please do me a favor and help Junior Sister Mu."

Seeing that Chu Luobai was not going to help, Wan Chi rushed forward and grabbed Chu Luobai's sleeve.

"open."

The cold voice made Wan Chi panic, and he subconsciously let go of her hand.

“Sweeping the stairs of Qingyun Main Peak is Mu’s job. Now that she’s leaving her job to someone else, something bad is bound to happen.”

"You asked me to help her, but what kind of help do you expect me to do? Do you want me to clean those 6,721 steps, or beat up those Qingyun Peak disciples who are suffering for her for no reason?"

"Putting aside the fact that private duels are forbidden within the sect, if you truly care about Junior Sister Mu, why didn't you help her with the cleaning before?"

When asked the question, Wan Chi stammered for a long time and still couldn't say anything. After all, who would actually want to sweep so many steps?

“If it weren’t for you, Senior Sister, insisting on punishing Junior Sister Yu Rou back then, she wouldn’t have to suffer like this today.”

Chu Luobai looked down at Wan Chi and sneered.

"Do you know why Mu Yurou still doesn't like you even after you've been circling around her for so long?"

"Jiang Yuzhe may not be smart, but at least he's willing to actually help. You, on the other hand, are just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to talk."

After saying that, Chu Luobai didn't bother to pay attention to Wan Chi's expression anymore and simply closed the door.

Outside the door, Wan Chi glared fiercely at the tightly closed bamboo door before leaving with a gloomy expression.

"A bunch of ingrates who love to get something for nothing."

Chu Luobai pouted. She had left this punishment behind precisely for today.

The disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect are not pushovers to be easily manipulated.

Chu Luobai wanted to see how much of a role his title as the senior disciple of Qingyun Peak would still hold after Xiao Xuancheng's behavior had aroused public outrage.

Chu Luobai cultivated in his room until evening before rubbing his rumbling stomach and heading towards the cafeteria.

When cultivators reach a certain level of cultivation, they can feed on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and no longer need to eat the grains and cereals of the mortal world.

But most disciples haven't reached that level yet; they can't miss any of their three meals a day.

As Chu Luobai entered the dining hall of Xiaoyao Peak, she could feel countless slightly disdainful gazes fixed upon her.

A group of people surrounded Wan Chi and Mu Yurou, their faces showing visible sympathy.

It seems that Wan Chi spread the news that she 'failed to save someone in distress'.

However, Chu Luobai didn't care.

After getting herself a meal, she saw Qiu Lin waving at her from the corner.

As soon as he sat down, Qiu Lin started talking non-stop.

"Senior sister, have you heard? Wan Chi and the people from Qingyun Peak got into a fight, and it was only Xiao Xuancheng who intervened and stopped it."

"A fight started?"

Chu Luobai subconsciously looked at Wan Chi and saw that his face was covered with bruises from being beaten.

"Of course, those disciples from Qingyun Peak didn't dare to touch Mu Yurou, so they took Wan Chi and gave her a good beating."

"Moreover, I also heard that in order to be less severely punished, those disciples of Qingyun Peak did not use their spiritual power and simply beat him up with their fists."

"It's a pity I wasn't there, otherwise I would have clapped my hands up and down."

Seeing Qiu Lin's gloating expression, Chu Luobai felt somewhat helpless.

I didn't expect this kid to have such a bad temper.

"You, it's one thing to not train properly, but why do you spend all day worrying about these gossips?"

Qiu Lin instantly dropped the gloating on his face and said with a serious expression.

"You can't say that. My father once told me that I should be good at observing the people and things around me. The relationship between people is very mysterious, and sometimes it can even become a weapon in your hands."

"With Xiao Xuancheng so openly defending Mu Yurou this time, I'm afraid few of the disciples of Qingyun Peak will be willing to submit to him in the future."

In his previous life, Xiao Xuancheng had many supporters on Qingyun Peak. Chu Luobai staged this event to sow discord between him and the disciples of Qingyun Peak.

Trust between people is easily broken, especially when there is a long-term imbalance of power.

People of lower status will quickly switch sides and choose a new ally once they realize that their interests have been harmed.

Just like those disciples from Xiaoyao Peak who chose to stand on Xiao Xuancheng's side back then.

"Oh right, Senior Sister, I heard that there will be an important announcement at the sect's morning meeting tomorrow. It seems to be about the opening of some important secret realm."

Qiu Lin recalled what he had learned in the sect that day.

"The secret realm is open?"

Chu Luobai lowered her eyes and began to desperately recall things about the secret realm in her mind.

In her previous life, this point in time was a very long time after Chu Luobai's death, and her memories were somewhat hazy.

Chu Luobai only vaguely remembered that the Poet Saint's Secret Realm of Mingyue Academy in the Tianyuan Dynasty had opened.

Mu Yurou shone brightly in the secret realm and even managed to win the heart of the second prince of the Tianyuan Dynasty.
