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

"This is my request. I wonder what the Seventh Prince thinks?"

Feng Xunyuan frowned, realizing that he truly couldn't see through the Sword Sect girl in front of him.

The condition for the other party to support this powerless prince was simply to demand one-tenth of all the spirit mines within the dynasty.

You should know that a sect like the Azure Cloud Sword Sect could take ninety percent of an entire dynasty's spirit mines without anyone complaining.

After all, spirit ore is useless to ordinary people.

However, the benefits of gaining the protection of a major sect in return are self-evident.

"You really only want 10%?"

Feng Xunyuan couldn't help but ask again.

"Of course, but you should also understand that all you can get is my protection, Chu Luobai. The Qingyun Sword Sect is just a name."

Although Chu Luobai is only at the Refining Void Realm, he is insignificant in the entire cultivation world.

But it's more than enough to deal with a small, remote dynasty.

Feng Xunyuan fell silent, not because he felt that Chu Luobai alone was not enough.

In this world, who doesn't use the prestige of a sect to do shady things? Even if their collusion is exposed, they just push a cultivator out to take the blame.

He had witnessed too much greed, and he found it hard to believe that Chu Luobai wanted so little.

"This matter is not urgent. Seventh Prince, you can give me your answer tomorrow."

After Chu Luobai finished speaking, he placed the invitation on the table and turned to leave the room.

The room fell into a deathly silence.

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

"Senior sister, are you really planning to let Xunyuan come with us?"

"They haven't come out yet. Could it be that they're unwilling? We don't want to waste an invitation."

Qiu Lin stood beside Chu Luobai, looked up at the door on the second floor, and asked.

"No, he will definitely come down."

Chu Luobai has shown enough sincerity, and someone like Feng Xunyuan certainly won't miss such an opportunity.

Squeak.

The doors on both sides upstairs opened simultaneously.

Feng Xunyuan and Mu Yurou met face to face, one on each side.

This was the first time Mu Yurou had seen Feng Xunyuan after his reply, and a flash of amazement crossed her eyes.

Just as she was about to greet him, the other person had already walked past her downstairs and stood next to Chu Luobai.

It's Chu Luobai again!

Why is everyone siding with that stupid woman who only knows how to cultivate?

"It seems you have made your decision."

Chu Luobai looked at Feng Xunyuan, and the moment the other nodded, she gathered a small amount of weak sword energy in her hand and plunged it into the other's heart.

Aside from the one-tenth of the spirit ore, having Chu Luobai bury a sword aura in Feng Xunyuan's heart was also one of the conditions for helping him.

Firstly, Chu Luobai would be able to know immediately if Feng Xunyuan's life was threatened.

Secondly, if Feng Xunyuan were to turn against them in the future, this small wisp of sword energy could instantly take his life.

Zhao Jingren saw Chu Luobai burying his sword energy, but he only frowned and didn't say anything.

Before the group set off, Mu Yurou quietly followed at the back.

Chu Luobai glanced at Xiao Xuancheng and saw that he looked indifferent, so she understood.

"The opening of the Poet Saint's Secret Realm is truly a rare opportunity. If Junior Sister Mu wishes, you should come along."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding disciples all turned to look back.

He thought that his actions would enrage Chu Luobai on the spot, and that by playing the victim, he could put her on the hot seat.

To my surprise, she actually asked me to come over...

Under the watchful eyes of many disciples, Mu Yurou could only reluctantly speak.

"Thank you for your generosity, Senior Sister. Yu Rou is extremely grateful."

Chu Luobai nodded slightly.

"Just don't make the same mistake again in the future."

The surrounding disciples praised Chu Luobai for her magnanimity and the demeanor of a senior sister.

..........

The Poet Saint Assembly was a grand event held once every ten years during the Tianyuan Dynasty.

When the people from Qingyun Sword Sect arrived, the academy was already filled with disciples from Mingyue Academy and other sects.

The discussion area is divided into east and west sides, separated by a gauze curtain.

The east side is the area for ordinary disciples to discuss the Dao, while the west side is the area for elite disciples from various sects and great scholars from Mingyue Academy to discuss the Dao.

Both Chu Luobai and Xiao Xuancheng are qualified to enter the west side.

The moment Chu Luobai lifted the gauze curtain, he could clearly feel Mu Yurou's jealous gaze fixed on him.

Last time, I wasn't very interested in Confucianism and Taoism, and I gave up the spot to Mu Yurou after Jiang Yuzhe's persistent pleading.

The original intention was to give Mu Yurou more opportunities.

Unexpectedly, this behavior was seen by others as irrefutable evidence that she, as the senior sister, was inferior to the junior sister and was disliked by the sect.

"Could you please show me your invitation, sir?"

Feng Xunyuan, who was following behind Chu Luobai, was kept outside the gauze curtain because he did not have the mark of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

"You are a distinguished guest invited by the Second Prince. This way, please."

"No need."

Feng Xunyuan shook his head and followed behind Chu Luobai.

"Bringing a child to this kind of occasion, Junior Sister Chu really has a good sense of humor."

Xiao Xuancheng glanced at Feng Xunyuan, his expression somewhat intriguing.

"It's a pity that Senior Brother couldn't get an invitation, otherwise Junior Sister Mu could have come in and broadened her horizons too."

Chu Luobai sighed, seemingly with regret.

Outside the gauze curtain, Mu Yurou looked at Feng Xunyuan's back with envy.

"That's great! I wish I could get an invitation. The opportunity to communicate with the great scholars of Mingyue Academy is so precious. It's a pity that I'm not liked by my senior sister."

The Sword Sect disciples around had already noticed the young man following Chu Luobai.

Such a handsome young man made them not connect him with the little beggar that Chu Luobai had rescued before.

Don't mistake them for disciples from some sect who have come to exchange ideas.

Now, after hearing what Mu Yurou said, it turns out that he was someone who was able to enter Mingyue Academy through Chu Luobai's connections.

In an instant, these disciples felt a little resentful.

Chu Luobai had an invitation to enter the inner area, but he chose to give it to someone else instead of a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Even Mu Yurou, a disciple on the same peak as her, did not receive this benefit.

She's really siding with outsiders; no wonder she's called the senior sister.

"Senior Sister can give whatever she wants to whomever she wants; Senior Sister Mu is being far too harsh."

Qiu Lin sneered; Mu Yurou really knew how to stir up trouble.

Before you know it, she starts playing the victim and acting innocent, and surprisingly, quite a few people fall for it.

“Junior Brother Qiu, I just feel that even if Senior Sister doesn’t give it to me, she should give it to other qualified disciples in the sect.”

Mu Yurou pouted, looking like she was standing up for the others.

"Heh, if everyone thought of taking shortcuts like you, then the disciples of my Qingyun Sword Sect wouldn't need to cultivate anymore; they'd all just wait for a windfall."

Zhao Jingren coldly stared at Mu Yurou. As an elite disciple of the Refining Void Realm, his intimidation was not much weaker than Xiao Xuancheng's.

"Senior Brother Zhao, that's not what I meant..."

Mu Yurou wanted to explain, but the other party had already closed her eyes to rest, showing her no respect whatsoever.
