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

"He even claimed he was unaware of it, but there was the aura of his refinement on it."

"The aura of the ink on it is so strong that it has probably been refined day and night for many years."

"Mu Changfeng had already reached the Mahayana stage back then, right? A sword move from a Mahayana-level sword cultivator can be a lifesaver. No wonder Feng Mo was unwilling to return it."

"Chu Luobai just said that he was given away when he was three years old. This was probably given to him by his master for self-defense."

"Given away? I think it was stolen."

"They swindled someone out of such a valuable item and were secretly refining it. No wonder they were cornered in this situation and had to get it back."

"Indeed, Chu Luobai was willing to offer compensation at first. If it were me, I would probably have stormed the Longquan Sword Sect to demand an explanation."

"This guy calls himself a gentleman of swordsmanship? I think he's more like a hypocrite."

The cultivators' hushed discussions reached Feng Mo's ears with crystal clarity, word by word.

His face turned deathly pale, and the image he had cultivated over the years crumbled completely on this day, at this moment.

The fingernails were squeezed so hard they dug into the palm, and blood gradually oozed out.

Even the pain couldn't calm him down completely.

"I suppose Fellow Daoist Feng Mo has forgotten, but I didn't want to trouble Fellow Daoist Feng Mo to travel all the way to Qingyun Sword Sect, so I took the liberty of bringing it out."

As Chu Luobai spoke, he circulated his spiritual energy.

In an instant, the aura that Feng Mo had cultivated over the years was completely erased.

This jade pendant now belongs to Chu Luobai again.

“In the future, I will definitely give Fellow Daoist Feng Mo some compensation.”

Chu Luobai spoke frankly and generously, choosing to compensate Feng Mo.

Just by looking at the change in address from Senior Brother Feng Mo to Fellow Daoist Feng Mo, anyone could understand Chu Luobai's thoughts.

If Feng Mo still had any shame, he should have taken the opportunity Chu Luo was offering to back down now.

As for the compensation...

The surrounding area erupted in discussion again, but Feng Mo had no time to pay attention to anything else at this moment.

Feeling the hard-won connection between herself and the jade pendant being so easily erased.

Years of hard work were destroyed in an instant.

At this moment, Feng Mo felt a mouthful of blood accumulating in his chest, ready to be spat out at any moment.

"Senior Brother Feng Mo."

Just as the atmosphere was tense, a soft female voice came from Xiaoyaofeng's group.

Mu Yurou walked lightly to Feng Mo and said with a hint of reproach.

"When you contacted me, you said you wanted to return the jade pendant to Senior Sister Chu and asked me what occasion would be appropriate."

"You originally planned to go to Xiaoyao Peak to apologize in person, but since you've met Senior Sister Chu today, you should return it to her. There's no need to lie about not being prepared to apologize."

"It has caused my senior sister and many fellow cultivators to misunderstand."

Feng Mo, who had been staring at the jade pendant, finally came to his senses. His face was pale, and he could only nod bitterly.

Although the logic was poorly sound, Mu Yurou and Feng Mo had maintained a good image in the public's mind for many years, so the onlookers could barely accept it.

Besides, since his junior sister had already stepped in to smooth things over, if Chu Luobai continued to pester him after getting his things back, it would seem rather petty...

"The spiritual rice in Zhushan had a bumper harvest a few days ago. Didn't you want to invite me to go and taste it with you, Senior Brother?"

"Why not take advantage of today to extend a proper invitation, so as to avoid a small misunderstanding dragging on into the future?"

As Mu Yurou spoke, she tugged at Feng Mo's sleeve.

Feng Mo then seemed to wake up from a dream, looked at Chu Luobai and gave her a sincere smile, his eyes once again revealing a hint of infatuation and affection.

"I did have this plan before, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chu would be willing to do me the honor..."

Feng Mo and Mu Yurou are such a perfect couple, why do they have to drag me along?

Chu Luobai's head ached so badly that she subconsciously wanted to rub her temples.

What were the rumors among cultivators in the previous life?

"Chu Luobai, a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect, had been in unrequited love for Feng Mo, the senior disciple of the Longquan Sword Sect, for many years. Unable to win his affections, she turned to hatred, not only tormenting her fellow female disciples within the sect but also joining forces with demonic cultivators to attack the Longquan Sword Sect and kill its sect leader."

As for the evidence for this rumor, it is the sword mark left by Mu Changfeng on the fatal wound of the Longquan Sword Sect Master.

Mu Changfeng is still in seclusion. Among all the people in the world who can use this sword technique, only Chu Luobai is capable of it.

He was willing to give false testimony for Mu Yurou's favor...

Feng Mo, that heartless bastard.

A murderous intent flashed through Chu Luobai's heart, and he was about to refuse when Zhao Jingren stepped forward.

“My junior sister from the Qingyun Sword Sect isn’t someone you can just ask out with a meal of spirit rice.”

"If Fellow Daoist Feng Mo likes it so much, why don't you go and try it a few more times?"

Qiu Lin also stood on the other side of Chu Luobai, as if he had just figured it out, and said loudly.

"So that's why Junior Sister Mu asked me about the Longquan Sword Sect earlier."

"If Senior Brother Feng Mo's true intentions are not what they seem, he should invite the person he admires directly, so that the misunderstanding over the jade pendant will not be resolved before another misunderstanding over spirit rice arises."

"If the Qingyun Sword Sect and the Longquan Sword Sect can become friends because of this, it would be a very good thing."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators who were watching the show all looked at Mu Yurou and Feng Mo with ambiguous expressions.

If they weren't truly committed, why would anyone stand up for Feng Mo in that situation?

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Feng Mo and I have only known each other since we were young, and now the misunderstanding has been cleared up."

"Once we reach the secret realm, we don't need to hold back."

Chu Luobai said calmly, preparing to end this public confrontation.

"No, Chu..."

Mu Yurou wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the deep sound of a bell coming from the entrance of the secret realm.

Several terrifying cultivators flew in from afar and hovered in mid-air.

It was those elders from the Immortal Alliance.

For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on those powerful figures, and no one had time to pay attention to Mu Yurou and Feng Mo's matter anymore.

Mu Yurou hesitated, her face turning bright red.

She couldn't speak loudly at this moment, lest she attract the attention of those powerful beings above...

Chu Luobai glanced at Mu Yurou, who had instantly become obedient, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Since advancing to the Mahayana stage, my Eye of Insight has also improved.

With the help of her Eyes of Truth, she was able to observe the faint, eerie aura emanating from Mu Yurou.

It might have been left on her by Fu Cheng'an, or it might have been something she obtained through some extraordinary encounter.

At first, Chu Luobai thought it was caused by practicing some special techniques, but after comparing Fu Cang and Feng Mo, he realized that it was not.

Chu Luobai discovered the oddity of the matter.

Normally, that eerie aura is completely undetectable.

But as Mu Yurou approached Fu Cang and Feng Mo, that aura began to appear.

Both of these men were women who fell for Mu Yurou's charms in their previous lives and provided her with crucial assistance...
