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

"What's going on? Our Qingyun Sword Sect has always had strict rules and will never allow any charlatan to abuse their power for personal gain."

Xiao Xuancheng spoke with righteous indignation, but Chu Luobai clearly saw the disdain on the faces of the Qingyun Peak disciples standing in the crowd.

“Indeed, the Qingyun Sect has always had strict rules. Disciples who are being punished are not allowed to leave the sect. Senior Brother Xiao, do you still remember this rule?”

Chu Luobai pointed to the jade disc in Mu Yurou's hand and said.

"However, beyond the law, there is also human sentiment. Opportunities are especially important to us cultivators. In order not to delay Junior Sister Mu's cultivation, I agreed that if she could find someone to take her punishment, the name on the jade plate would be changed to Junior Sister Mu's. Is that wrong? Or does Senior Brother Xiao think that my concession is an abuse of power for personal gain?"

Xiao Xuancheng frowned. He had thought that Chu Luobai was deliberately making things difficult for Mu Yurou, and that he had come back to save the day.

I never expected things to develop this way.

“Indeed, it is beyond the bounds of law and reason, but still within the bounds of human sentiment. Junior Sister Chu’s idea is very thoughtful. However, in my opinion, the punishment should wait until after the opportunity arises. If I encounter such a thing again in the future, I will suggest to Master that we amend the sect rules and wait until after we return to continue the punishment.”

This person can make grand promises in public without batting an eye; no wonder he could appear virtuous on the surface while secretly smearing himself.

Chu Luobai glanced at the indignant group in the distance, then spoke.

"Since Senior Brother Xiao is like this, why not promote it more today?"

"I've heard that several disciples from Qingyun Peak have recently been punished for minor matters. Sword Sect disciples are all proud and upright, and there are often frictions among them. It wouldn't be fair if they lost their chance to attend Mingyue Academy because of such trivial punishments. Senior Brother Xiao, why don't we add their names to the Jade Register today?"

Xiao Xuancheng was taken aback, as if he had just remembered this.

"Fighting among fellow disciples in private is a major taboo."

"It's just a contest of fists and feet, no one is using spiritual energy, it's just a small-scale fight."

Chu Luobai laughed, realizing that the tricks those disciples had deliberately kept were now proving useful to her.

Disciples who embark on the path of sword cultivation are often hot-blooded and prone to fighting at the slightest provocation. When they do fight, if they use spiritual power and swords, it becomes fratricide, a situation that is extremely serious.

But it's just close-quarters combat, a fight where you throw a punch and I kick. This kind of petty squabble that can't kill or seriously injure anyone is no big deal.

Those disciples of Wan Chi who ganged up on him had this intention in mind when they made their move.

Therefore, when Xiao Xuancheng questioned them, he only punished them slightly on Qingyun Peak and did not send them to the Enforcement Peak.

With the charges firmly established, whether or not one can go to Mingyue Academy is essentially a matter of a single word from Xiao Xuancheng.

Xiao Xuancheng's words, "The matter of punishment will be decided later," just gave Chu Luobai the opportunity.

With so many Qingyun Sword Sect disciples watching, Xiao Xuancheng can't very well contradict himself, can he?

"Junior Sister Chu is so thoughtful. I was so busy with other things today that I almost forgot about this."

Xiao Xuancheng's face turned ashen as he turned to look at his disciples.

"Since you're all here, let's add your names to the jade register."

The disciples, who thought they had no chance left, all looked at Chu Luobai with grateful eyes.

Wan Chi, standing to the side, watched Chu Luobai hesitate, unable to speak, and could only place his hopeful gaze on Mu Yurou.

He knew that Mu Yurou and Xiao Xuancheng had a close relationship. If Mu Yurou could plead with Xiao Xuancheng on his behalf, he might be able to continue going to Mingyue Academy.

Unfortunately, Mu Yurou's heart and eyes were completely occupied by Xiao Xuancheng, and she had no time to pay attention to him.

The two, one on each side, chatted and laughed softly in the crowd like a golden couple, each holding a jade disc as they walked toward the elder.

Wan Chi was left standing alone, looking at Mu Yu Rou's back with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

On the way back to Xiaoyao Peak, Qiu Lin and Chu Luobai walked side by side.

"Senior sister, your trick of sowing discord is so insidious. That disciple will definitely be grateful to you in the future."

"Oh? You could tell that?"

The more Chu Luobai learned about Qiu Lin, the more she realized that he was no ordinary person.

Not only is his cultivation speed fast, but he also has a good network of connections within the Qingyun Sword Sect. No wonder he was able to get along well in Wenling Peak, a place frequented only by sword fanatics, in his previous life.

“How can you not see that? In the art of war, the best strategy is to attack the mind, the worst is to attack the city. You want those disciples to see Xiao Xuancheng’s true colors and remember your kindness, so that you can know about any disturbances on Qingyun Peak in the future.”

After Qiu Lin finished speaking, he turned to look at Chu Luobai with a "See? I was right, wasn't I?" expression.

"Not bad, not bad. You joined the Qingyun Sword Sect at a young age. Where did you learn all these military strategies?"

Chu Luobai was speechless. If he hadn't died too young in his previous life, he would definitely have seen Qiu Lin shine brightly in the Qingyun Sword Sect.

"Senior sister, don't worry about that. Look at how down and out Senior Brother Wan looks. I wonder when he'll see that woman's true colors."

Qiu Lin spoke in a low voice, pointing behind him.

Chu Luobai looked in the direction he pointed.

Mu Yurou had been taken away by Xiao Xuancheng, leaving Wan Chi alone at the back, looking extremely pitiful.

"I don't know, he looks so pitiful, Mu Yurou didn't even know to plead for him."

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

Meanwhile, the law enforcement peak suppresses the demon tower.

A bone-chilling cold accompanied by overwhelming demonic energy surged within the Demon Suppression Tower.

Outside the Demon Suppression Tower, a haggard-looking Jiang Yuzhe was carrying a large bucket of water and staggering as he walked into the tower.

The Demon Suppression Tower is located in a remote area with strict restrictions. Except for disciples and elders who have the Demon Suppression Mark on their bodies, no other people are allowed to enter.

Therefore, these disciples had to fetch all the living supplies they needed from the foot of the mountain themselves.

Jiang Yuzhe was the least popular among the inner disciples who were punished by being sent to the Demon Suppression Tower. With the deliberate isolation from others, most of the work fell on his shoulders.

Seeing Jiang Yuzhe swaying as he carried the water, Deng Huang, who was sitting in a chair drinking, mocked him.

"Oh dear, so this is our exceptionally talented inner disciple? After cultivating for so long, how come he can't even lift a bucket of water?"

Deng Huang was the leader of the group of disciples guarding the Demon Suppression Tower. He had failed the inner disciple examination multiple times and was extremely disgusted with people like Jiang Yuzhe who did not cherish their inner disciple status.

"She looks so fair and delicate, could she be a young girl?"

"Don't say that, or they might go back and tell on you."

The people at the same table echoed Deng Huang's words with mockery.

"Damn it, if it weren't for that bitch Chu Luobai, I wouldn't be in this state today!"

Jiang Yuzhe clenched his fists at his sides, cursing inwardly, but still managed a fawning smile on his face.

Seeing that Jiang Yuzhe thought this way, Deng Huang and the others burst into laughter.

The array within the Demon Suppression Tower suppresses both demonic and spiritual energy, making him no different from those disciples with low cultivation levels.

At first, Jiang Yuzhe tried to resist, but after being ganged up on and beaten several times, he began to behave himself.

"When I return to Xiaoyao Peak, I will kill all of you!"

Jiang Yuzhe carried the bucket away, her eyes growing colder.
