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

Feeling the gazes from those around them, the other disciples of Xiaoyao Peak lowered their heads, wishing they could disappear into a crack in the ground.

They longed to reconcile with Chu Luobai.

However, Chu Luobai's cultivation level was too terrifying, so they didn't dare to get close at all.

Lai Qiulin, Xiao Lin, and Feng Xunyuan are too terrifying. Once they have the idea of ​​getting close to Chu Luobai...

These three will immediately discover this, not only keeping them out but also thoroughly humiliating them.

At first, they tried to resist, but unfortunately, they were no match for these three people in terms of skill level.

Xiao Lin had all sorts of strange formations, which left them completely disoriented. On one occasion, they even nearly fell off Xiaoyao Peak.

If Nan Yue hadn't happened to pass by and saved them, these disciples with mediocre cultivation levels would probably have been injured and recovering for a hundred days.

These people instinctively turned their gaze to Nan Yue, hoping that she could help them out of this predicament.

However, Nan Yue had no time to pay attention to them at the moment. She just stood next to Chu Luobai and looked at him intently.

"It seems everyone knows that Junior Sister Chu has advanced, so no one will be so blind as to provoke her now."

As Zu Yang spoke, his gaze swept over the ranks of Qingyun Peak disciples, who had now been excluded from the core and whose title of 'main peak' was somewhat undeserved.

Xiao Xuancheng's brilliance was so dazzling back then that the other disciples failed to notice the problems at Qingyun Peak.

Apart from Xiao Xuancheng, who occupied a large amount of resources, there was not a single disciple on the entire Qingyun Peak who could replace Xiao Xuancheng.

The overall level of Qingyun Peak disciples today is just about average among the various peaks of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

"I was just lucky. Now that you've come down the mountain, it seems your cultivation has improved quite a bit?"

Chu Luobai could sense that Zu Yang's aura was becoming increasingly solid.

His cultivation, which had stagnated for many years, and his accumulated spiritual power were now showing signs of erupting.

All signs indicate that Zu Yang is about to break through to the Mahayana stage.

In his previous life, Zu Yang was trapped on Wenling Peak. When Fu Cheng'an attacked, he also fought a fierce battle.

However, Zu Yang's inner demons from his previous life had not been eliminated, and his cultivation was suppressed too severely.

They were completely defeated in no time.

Now, Zu Yang is also about to break through to the Mahayana stage.

A sense of relief welled up in Chu Luobai's heart.

At least this life is very different from the last one, except...

"Zhao Jingren, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Luobai lightly punched Zhao Jingren's shoulder, full of curiosity.

In his previous life, when Zhao Jingren replaced Zu Yang as the leader of the disciples of Wenling Peak, he even fought with Jiang Yuzhe here.

Why do you look so listless now?

Could it be that the fact that I broke through to the Mahayana stage before him was such a blow to him?

"I'm fine. Who are you planning to go to this conference with?"

Zhao Jingren asked casually, but his eyes subconsciously glanced at Gu Lin to the side.

Originally, many other disciples of the Tianyan Sect had come, and Gu Lin and Xiao Lin should have paired up with the other disciples of the Tianyan Sect.

But this time, Gu Lin wanted to be a hands-off manager and stayed in Xiaoyao Peak's team, unwilling to move. So he listened to Xiao Lin, who also wanted to stay in Xiaoyao Peak's team.

They directly scattered the Tianyan Sect's team, allowing the Tianyan Sect disciples to act together with their chosen teammates.

Most of the disciples of the Tianyan Sect chose to become sword cultivators on Wenling Peak.

Some disciples of the Tianyan Sect even fought over a dull swordsman from Wenling Peak.

I heard that in the end, Gu Lin and Zu Yang had to step in and mediate.

There's no way around it. When the sword fanatics of Wenling Peak are working together, all you need to do is give them some food, leave them alone while they practice their swordsmanship, and they'll never go west if you tell them to go east.

They are also strong in combat and obtain more resources than other sects or even other peaks within the same sect.

Such a useful teammate is naturally highly sought after.

"Me? I haven't decided yet."

A conflicted expression appeared on Chu Luobai's face.

According to other people's opinions, she and Gu Lin are the most suitable team.

At first, she did have this idea.

Things are different now. Teaming up with Gu Lin is no longer a must; it's more like...

Adding flowers to brocade?

Chu Luobai's eyes were deep and serious. Mu Yurou had also secured a spot this time, and now was the perfect opportunity for Fu Cheng'an to get rid of him, a thorn in his side.

If I bring Gu Lin with me, will Mu Yurou and Fu Cheng'an be wary of my fighting strength and refrain from taking action?

No matter how you look at it, it's always easier to be alone.

"You haven't thought about it yet?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingren murmured something in response.

"That's perfect, I don't have any teammates yet, why don't you team up with me?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Luobai's face remained expressionless, but Zu Yang, standing to the side, looked gratified.

My junior brother, who either doesn't have a mouth or whose mouth always makes me want to punch him, actually managed to utter a single human sentence.

Indeed, external crises can greatly improve a person in many ways.

Qiu Lin and Xiao Lin exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying a knowing look.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but glance at his senior brother.

For the past month, Gu Lin has been locked in his bamboo house, seemingly researching some new elixir.

Every time Xiao Lin went to find him, he could always smell a strange medicinal fragrance.

Unfortunately, whenever Xiao Lin tried to ask Gu Lin what he was doing, he was ruthlessly thrown out.

During this time, Xiao Lin also asked Gu Lin if staying at Xiaoyao Peak meant he wanted to team up with Senior Sister Chu.

After all, he had already decided to team up with Qiu Lin.

Gu Lin never answered, neither saying yes nor no.

Xiao Lin and Qiu Lin huddled together and pondered for a long time. They thought that Gu Lin had made too many promises before and now couldn't bring himself to ask Chu Luobai to team up.

That's why he deliberately resorted to this underhanded tactic, intending to first stay on Xiaoyao Peak and subtly make Chu Luobai think that he was a teammate.

Just appear beside Chu Luobai during the Dao Discussion Conference.

I thought that would be the case, but I never expected that Chu Luobai never intended to team up with his senior brother.

miserable...

So sad...

My own senior brother, this is too tragic.

Xiao Lin shook his head slightly, unable to suppress a sense of schadenfreude in his heart.

Feng Xunyuan and Nan Yue exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of sudden realization.

They hadn't understood what Senior Brother Qiu Lin meant by "Asura Field" before.

The atmosphere is like this, with people displaying various expressions, and most importantly, Senior Sister Chu Luobai, who is completely unaware that something is amiss.

Isn't this a complete chaotic scene?!

"Two sword cultivators teaming up?"

Zhao Jingren wasn't well-liked by Mu Yurou in her past life either, so if she were to team up with him...

Chu Luobai raised his hand, his slender fingers unconsciously stroking his chin, his thoughts churning.

If he were to enter the secret realm alone, Mu Yurou might be somewhat wary.

If Zhao Jingren were brought along, firstly, it would dispel Mu Yurou's doubts, and secondly, it would provide a witness when they took action.

"Can..."

Chu Luobai nodded, about to agree, when Gu Lin suddenly spoke up from the side.

"I haven't formed a team yet either, how about I join Fellow Daoist Chu's team?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Lin.

Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity and excitement.

Xiao Lin's mouth dropped open.

This was the first time he had ever seen his senior brother take the initiative to join a team.

Just as Qiu Lin said, what's the difference between doing something you've never actively done and actively seeking a mate?

"Fellow Daoist Gu is joining as well? A team of three is quite common."

"only..."

Chu Luobai's expression was somewhat troubled. With the fighting power of the three of them, let alone Mu Yurou, even Fu Cheng'an probably wouldn't dare to come.

"It just so happens that I don't have any teammates yet. Fellow Daoist Gu Lin, why don't you join me?"

Zu Yang spoke up at the right moment to help Chu Luobai out of the predicament.

"That way, the four of us can work together initially, and then split up when we each have our own needs later."

"This way, we can avoid some of the dangers without reducing the resources we obtain."

Gu Lin did not answer, but his gaze fell on Chu Luobai.

"I think this is a good idea. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Gu?"

Chu Luobai turned her head to look at Gu Lin, asking for his opinion with her eyes.

Their eyes met, and Gu Lin remained silent for a long while. After realizing that Chu Luobai genuinely thought the suggestion was good and had actually asked him, his expression was full of helplessness.

"alright."

After saying that, Gu Lin sighed.

Xiao Lin looked even more disappointed; he had thought he would be seeing something exciting.

Qiu Lin, on the other hand, was beaming with excitement; he had always favored Zhao Jingren more.

"Then our team is complete."

While the group was discussing, Zhao Yushi had already walked onto the stage.

After a brief opening, a strange smile appeared on Zhao Yushi's face.

His gaze swept coldly over the several senior officials standing not far from him.

The elders who had been lost in thought suddenly shuddered, sensing something ominous.

"The Elder of General Affairs has worked hard these past few days, which has greatly increased the number of inner disciples in our sect. The outer disciples also have high praise for the existing promotion mechanism."

"Therefore, I think we can add some activities for outer disciples, such as worldly experiences for inner disciples."

"Many inner disciples have broken through their cultivation bottlenecks during their trials in the mortal world. I believe that if the same opportunity is given to outer disciples, they will also achieve good results."

As soon as Zhao Yushi finished speaking, a cheer erupted from the outer disciples' ranks in the distance.

In contrast, those were the general affairs elders.

Their faces were ashen, but because Zhao Yushi was watching them, they wouldn't dare to lash out even if they had ten times the courage.

Now they can only force a smile and nod awkwardly.

"The sect leader is right, we will do our utmost."

In the past, outer disciples had never participated in any activities, let alone received such preferential treatment.

The outer disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect are numerous, and they basically just receive a few low-grade spirit stones from the sect each month and fend for themselves.

Zhao Yushi's current emphasis on outer disciples is somewhat reminiscent of the secluded sect leader.

"I had heard before that the outer disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect received the best treatment."

"Me too, I just didn't expect it to be like this after I arrived."

"Since Sect Leader Zhao took office, our treatment has been getting better and better."

"I remember that the outer disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect also received this kind of treatment in the beginning."

The outer disciples were buzzing with discussion, constantly reminiscing about the good times the sect had shared.

"Alright, since the sect elders and disciples are so united, I will listen to the opinions of the outer disciples more often in the future."

"If any of you disciples have any needs, you may also raise them with the elders of general affairs."

As Zhao Yushi spoke, a hint of warning appeared in his eyes as he looked at the elders of the general affairs department.

"If the elders of general affairs are too busy, they can come directly to me."

Upon hearing this, the elders of the general affairs looked even more displeased and shook their heads repeatedly.

"We will certainly do our utmost!"

"There is another matter to discuss at today's sect meeting, aside from matters concerning the outer disciples."

As Zhao Yushi spoke, he raised his hand and unfurled the scroll in the air.

"This is the list of Sword Sect members going to the Immortal Alliance Dao Discussion Conference. The disciple leading the team is Chu Luobai."

All eyes were fixed on the list.

Apart from a few disciples whose cultivation and realm were strong enough, the other disciples did not know whether they had a spot.

"Oh my god, my name is on it."

"No way, Xiaoyao Peak really only accepted three spots?"

"Are there many more spots available for other peaks this year?"

The inner disciples looked at the list with expressions of disbelief.

Those disciples with average cultivation levels who thought they had no chance at all actually saw their own names.

"This list was developed jointly by me and Chu Luobai. If anyone has any objections, please feel free to raise them."

Zhao Yushi added casually.

However, it is clear that no disciple would have any objection to such a list.

Many of the disciples whose names were on the list looked at Chu Luo with admiration.

"Luckily, it was Senior Sister Chu leading the team this time. If it had been that Xiao..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, the people from Qingyun Peak are watching."

"What are they afraid of? Over the years, Qingyun Peak has been able to stand above other peaks, isn't it all thanks to Xiao Xuancheng?"

"Hmph, now that those two scoundrels who lined their own pockets are gone, what does your Qingyun Peak have left?"

The other disciples had long disliked Qingyun Peak, and now they glared back defiantly.

Without the protection of the former acting sect leader and Xiao Xuancheng, Qingyun Peak is now nothing more than an ordinary mountain.

The disciples of Qingyun Peak dared not speak out in anger, and could only glare back fiercely.

The atmosphere on the scene became tense.

"It seems that the title of senior sister Chu is more fitting than that of senior brother Xiao Xuancheng."

Zu Yang noticed the escalating conflict among his disciples and jokingly remarked.

"It's just making a contribution to the sect."

Chu Luobai observed Mu Yurou's expression; her expression was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Zhao Yushi's speech was very brief, and he quickly called Chu Luobai aside.

The group was reassembled to go to the conference.

Chu Luobai stood at the front, receiving countless envious or jealous glances.
