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

In the autumn kingdom, in front of the side hall of Taiqing.

Qiu Yue stood calmly at the entrance of the side hall, her gaze sweeping over the many ministers.

Those who had just threatened to resign were now as silent as quails in winter.

"If you all have anything else to say, then please go into the side hall to offer sacrifices for the Second Princess."

"Today is the first day of Qiu Han's body lying in state. Given her contributions to the Qiu Kingdom, she deserves everyone's respect and remembrance."

After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and turned back into the main hall.

The ministers below looked at each other again, none daring to move, but none daring to be the first to enter the side hall.

It wasn't until several more military officers arrived and entered the side hall first that these ministers dared to enter.

Chu Luobai held his sword with both hands and leaned against the pillar by the door.

Whenever a minister tried to enter, he would shiver as he passed by her.

Chu Luobai raised an eyebrow, whether it was the imperial court where 'smart people' gathered or the desolate mountains and fields.

They all follow the principle of the strong being respected and the weak being preyed upon by the strong.

Now that they know the difference in strength between the two sides, these people should behave themselves for a while.

As for what happened next...

Chu Luobai turned her head and glanced into the side hall.

That's Qiuyue's business.

While the ministers were all inside the side hall, Qiu Lin slowly moved to Chu Luobai's side.

"Senior sister, thank you so much this time."

"This is not the place to talk."

As Chu Luobai spoke, he leaped and landed on the roof of an empty side hall.

"There are few people here, which is a good place to chat."

Since Chu Luobai returned, Qiu Lin has been handling the affairs of the Qiu Kingdom.

She could sense that Qiu Lin was somewhat afraid of her and would deliberately avoid her when dealing with matters.

These past few days, although the two have often been in the same space, they haven't had much interaction.

“Senior Sister…”

Qiu Lin had just opened his mouth, only uttering two words, when Chu Luobai interrupted him.

"As I said, we are from the same school, so there is no need for thanks."

"Tell me, why haven't you dealt with that Chen father and son all this time?"

When the Chen family father and son were mentioned, Qiu Lin was clearly taken aback, and then said with some regret.

“The Chen family father and son came to me many times before, asking me to inherit the throne.”

“I thought that my refusal would dissuade them from the idea.”

"I never imagined... their ambitions were so great."

Qiu Lin sighed as she spoke.

“I am worried that Qiu Kingdom’s foundation is unstable at the moment, and that it will bring trouble to my elder sister if I touch them. The karma of killing them should have been on my shoulders.”

"They were just one or two mortals, what karma could they possibly have? Besides, the people I killed weren't exactly good people either."

"If Heaven has eyes, it will certainly not punish me."

As Chu Luobai spoke, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

For some reason, she remembered the system bound to her, a system that could offer so many rewards, which must be related to the Heavenly Dao to some extent.

"Senior sister is so carefree; I'm still too green."

Qiu Lin sighed, saying that every time he was by Chu Luobai's side, he would feel inexplicably at ease.

"By the way, Senior Sister, Fellow Daoist Xiao Lin from the Tianyan Sect helped me a lot this time. I'd like to prepare a thank-you gift for him later."

"But I'm not quite sure what alchemists lack..."

Based on Qiu Lin's stereotype of alchemists, these people are rich and powerful, and ordinary things simply don't catch their eye.

But Qiu Lin couldn't produce those precious materials.

At least until they pass the trials of the mortal world, Qiu Lin and his group of disciples will be allowed by the sect to explore the secret realm on their own.

To obtain rare materials, one must venture into large, secret realms.

Large-scale secret realms are often visited by various sects who organize their own teams to go together, and the good stuff inside is all about scrambling.

Whether you can snatch it or not depends entirely on how strong your fist is.

Of course, if you're lucky, you might find something good as soon as you land.

However, Qiu Lin believed that he did not have such good luck.

"Alchemists, these are rare and precious materials."

Chu Luobai couldn't help but purse her lips when she thought of the Dragon Essence Tree branch she had exchanged with Gu Lin.

It wasn't that he was heartbroken over a mere tree branch, but rather that the item he had brought out was too good. With Gu Lin's intelligence, he would most likely guess that Chu Luobai possessed some extremely rare magical treasure.

They will definitely test things out in every way in the future.

There's no way around it; these alchemists' love for precious materials is no less than that of sword cultivators for fine swords.

"Senior sister, I'm about to leave Qiu Kingdom with nothing. Do I look like I have any rare and precious treasures to offer?"

Qiu Lin helplessly shrugged.

"Leave with nothing?"

Chu Luobai found the term novel, after all, Qiu Lin had once been the crown prince of a country.

To have fallen to this state... is truly too tragic.

"The things in the national treasury were squandered long ago by the previous Grand Tutor."

"I want to leave the little bit of stuff left for my elder sister to find two support cultivators. I can't leave her with an empty shell and a mess after I'm gone."

Qiu Lin sighed deeply, his face contorted with worry.

Just as mortals cannot do without gold and silver, cultivators also cannot do without resources.

Without sufficient resources, no cultivators will come to this remote little country.

"If we can't give you rare and precious materials, then we sword cultivators will give you something we can afford."

"What is the most important thing for us sword cultivators?"

Faced with Chu Luobai's sudden question, Qiu Lin was momentarily at a loss for words.

After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked.

"Is it the Dao Heart?"

"What Dao Heart? It's the sword, Junior Brother."

Chu Luobai was somewhat helpless. When did Qiu Lin learn to say such empty and pretentious things?

"The most important thing for a sword cultivator is the sword and our swordsmanship. If you can't give Xiao Lin rare and precious materials, then just protect him as he searches for them, right?"

"In the future, when you travel the world of cultivation, you two will naturally encounter situations where you need to team up. It is a good thing to lock in a teammate in advance."

"what?"

Qiu Lin blinked; he hadn't thought of this way of 'repaying' before.

"But a cultivator with Xiao Lin's background and cultivation level would definitely have many people wanting to team up with him. My doing this might not be..."

Chu Luobai shook her head. She knew Qiu Lin's concerns, and if you really think about it, his concerns were valid.

Xiao Lin is Gu Lin's junior brother, and like Gu Lin, he is personally taught by the sect leader of Tianyan Sect.

Even looking at the entire Qingzhou region, he can be described as having a very promising future.

There are indeed many people who want to team up with such a person.

However, Qiu Lin has not yet experienced the baptism of the secret realm and does not know that sometimes a trustworthy teammate is far more valuable than a teammate with high cultivation.
