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

"Nowadays, too many people believe the rumors, which is not a good thing for me, for Fellow Daoist Feng Mo, or for the two sects behind us."

Chu Luobai's expression was serious, her amber eyes filled with an unyielding air as she calmly looked at Feng Mo opposite her.

Actually, that jade pendant wasn't anything special.

It was just a sword jade that Mu Changfeng casually gave to Chu Luobai back then.

It contains a sword move by Mu Changfeng, which can be used to defend against enemies or imitate the move to grasp some of the true meaning of swordsmanship.

It is of great benefit to cultivators below the Mahayana realm.

This is why Feng Mo half-coaxed and half-tricked Chu Luobai into giving him the jade pendant back then.

However, this jade pendant was only a semi-finished product that Mu Changfeng was trying to make into a sword jade. After learning that Feng Mo had taken it away, he did not blame Chu Luobai.

Instead, they gave Chu Luobai a well-made one for self-defense.

Later, everyone forgot about it.

And it was this jade pendant, forgotten by everyone, that became the sharpest weapon aimed at Chu Luobai.

Now, Chu Luobai needs to get it back as soon as possible.

When Chu Luobai so directly asked for the things he had once given him, Feng Mo's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

However, Feng Mo, who was responsible for taking his disciples out to participate in various activities all year round, had long since developed the ability to speak to people in a way that suited them.

However, in the blink of an eye, his complexion returned to normal, and his smile remained as warm as a spring breeze.

"What jade pendant? Junior Sister Chu, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Besides, there's no reason to take back something that's been given away."

"If you like jade pendants, I'll take you to buy one you like after this Daoist conference ends..."

Feng Mo smiled, his gaze falling on Chu Luobai's bare longsword.

"How about I fall onto your sword someday?"

For a swordsman, the sword that accompanies him every day is like another part of himself.

If the object attached to the sword is not a gift from a respected master, then it is... a cultivation partner.

The Qingyun Sword Sect's team was already conspicuous, and now Feng Mo had brought the Longquan Sword Sect's team over in a grand manner.

The exchange between the two teams attracted considerable attention, and many people had been secretly watching this scene for some time.

Now that Feng Mo said that, many people looked at Chu Luobai with ambiguous expressions.

"I'd long heard that the Azure Cloud Sword Sect and the Dragon Spring Sword Sect had a close relationship, so that's how it is..."

"Feng Mo and Chu Luobai are both prodigies of their respective sects. If they were to marry, would other sword sects still have a chance to rise in the future?"

"I had heard before that Chu Luobai and Feng Mo had a marriage agreement, but I thought it was fake. Now it seems..."

The disciples watching whispered among themselves, but to Chu Luobai, whose five senses had been enhanced, such whispers were no different from whispers right next to his ear.

Chu Luobai narrowed her eyes and looked Feng Mo up and down.

"There's no reason to take back what's been given away. But I was only three years old back then, how could I know anything about love and romance?"

"Furthermore, the jade pendant was a gift from my master, and it contains one of my master's sword moves. If the sword techniques of the Qingyun Sword Sect were to be revealed, I would not only be unable to explain to my master, but also to the sect."

"As long as Senior Brother Feng Mo is willing to return it to me, I am willing to compensate him with something else."

Chu Luobai revealed the secret hidden in the jade pendant without hesitation.

In this way, even if they can't get the jade pendant back today, it will be easy to explain why Feng Mo uses this unique sword technique belonging to Mu Changfeng elsewhere in the future.

At least we won't have to let others smear us and our master anymore.

"This... I didn't bring that jade pendant with me today..."

Seeing that Chu Luobai had made it so clear, Feng Mo had no way to deny it even if he wanted to.

The only thing to do is to find an excuse to keep Chu Luobai calm.

"I was unaware that the jade pendant held such a profound history. Once this Dao Discussion Conference concludes, I will personally return it to the Qingyun Sword Sect and apologize to Senior Mu Changfeng."

Feng Mo spoke quite sincerely, and the onlookers who were initially somewhat resentful that he had lied to the children were now nodding in agreement.

"Feng Mo's humble attitude suggests that he truly has feelings for Chu Luobai."

"Nonsense, Chu Luobai is a disciple of Mu Changfeng. It was rumored that she defeated Xiao Xuancheng in the sect competition. Such a talented woman, even I, let alone Feng Mo, couldn't help but fall for her."

"In my opinion, it is better for women to be more docile. Look at Fairy Mu Yurou, who is also a disciple of Qingyun Sword Sect. She is so gentle and tender, and she even saved my life from the hands of a demonic cultivator."

As the discussion veered further and further off course, Chu Luobai couldn't help but frown.

Zhao Jingren, also looking on with amusement, lowered his voice and teased Chu Luobai.

"Oh, it seems your rumored fiancé still has feelings for you."

"I'll find an opportunity to go to the Qingyun Sword Sect to apologize to you."

“…”

Chu Luobai was speechless. Had this kid been driven mad by Chu Wang? He was even speaking in a sarcastic tone.

But thinking about it, it's understandable. In the past, whenever the topic of this kid following Feng Mo around and calling him "Brother Feng Mo" for several days for the sake of the Longquan Sword Sect's sword skills came up, he would get so angry that he would go crazy.

He didn't go crazy today, so it seems he's restrained himself quite a bit.

"How about you keep Feng Mo as your fiancé? Once I spread the word that you call him Brother Feng Mo, I'm sure many cultivators will think that you two have a deep and lasting relationship."

Chu Luobai retorted coolly, raising her voice before Zhao Jingren could speak again.

"It's just an ordinary object, not worth Brother Fengmo's concern."

Hearing this, Feng Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If we can keep Chu Luobai calm today, then everything is possible.

Anyway, he had almost completely refined that sword jade. As long as he fully mastered the sword moves within it, it didn't matter whether he kept the jade pendant or not.

But Chu Luobai's next words made Feng Mo, who had finally breathed a sigh of relief, freeze in place.

"It seems that Senior Brother didn't notice that he had that jade pendant with him."

As Chu Luobai spoke, he raised his arm and gestured slightly.

The next second, a blue and white jade pendant flew out of Feng Mo's arms.

Feng Mo's eyes widened, and his fist, hidden in his sleeve, clenched into a tight fist.

How can it be?

For so many years, he has been working hard to refine that jade pendant, and now he is just one step away from success.

With so much of his aura remaining on the jade pendant, how could Chu Luobai possibly summon it away so easily!

Feng Mo tried his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart, not revealing a trace of it on his face.

"This jade pendant has been with Senior Brother Feng Mo day and night, and has absorbed a lot of his aura."

Chu Luobai deliberately examined the jade pendant from top to bottom, revealing the aura that Feng Mo had refined within it.

The cultivators around who had initially been optimistic about Feng Mo instantly showed expressions of disdain.
