With Chu Luobai in charge, no one dared to act recklessly during the entire academy assembly.

Feng Xunyuan lived up to his reputation as the man who had once dominated Feng Xiuquan, adapting to his position as vice dean of Mingyue Academy with remarkable speed.

He even subtly won over a group of students to his side.

Under Chu Luobai's instruction, Qiu Lin entered the library of Mingyue Academy and took two mid-grade cultivation techniques treasured by the academy.

Just thinking about Yuan Zhi's hesitant expression and heartbroken eyes...

Chu Luobai felt a surge of pleasure.

These old fogies from Mingyue Academy must have promised Mu Yurou and Feng Xiuquan something to make Mu Yurou dare to shout wildly in the main hall that day.

I need to make these old folks bleed a little bit.

dong dong.

There was a knock on the door, and Qiu Lin pushed it open.

"Senior sister, everything is ready. We can return to the sect at any time."

"Senior Brother Zhao sent a message this morning, saying that the sect leader is very angry and that we should be careful when we go back, and it would be best to go directly back to Xiaoyao Peak."

Qiu Lin's face showed visible worry.

"Senior sister, if you let Mu Yurou go back early like this, she will definitely go and spread rumors and say things that are bad for you."

"What if the sect leader really blames us?"

"He's just an acting sect leader."

Chu Luobai raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

“You new disciples don’t know, but Xiao Xuancheng’s proud master is actually just an acting master.”

In his previous life, his sect suffered a calamity, and Chu Luobai died without ever knowing the outcome of the battle between the sect leader and Fu Cheng'an.

Battles between peak Mahayana cultivators are far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The path of cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses. There is a gap in combat power even among those at the peak of the Mahayana stage, let alone between those at the early Mahayana stage and those at the peak of the Mahayana stage.

Even if he were to be reborn, Chu Luobai would not dare to claim that he could reach the Mahayana stage.

"Acting sect leader?"

This was the first time Qiu Lin had heard of these sect secrets since he joined the Qingyun Sword Sect.

"The real sect leader has been in seclusion for many years. The current sect leader is just an agent. However, most people don't dare to add the word 'agent' when they mention him."

Recalling Chang Feng's protection of Mu Yurou in his previous life, Chu Luobai's expression gradually turned cold.

Although Chang Feng had lost interest in cultivation and started to play power games, he was still a Mahayana stage cultivator.

Chu Luobai was not so arrogant as to think that he, a cultivator in the early stage of the Dao Integration Realm, could directly challenge him, even though he was a cultivator of a higher level.

"Senior Sister, should we ask Lingfeng first when we go back? With Senior Brother Zhao as a witness, even the acting sect leader can't make things difficult for you."

Qiu Lin actually wanted to ask if he should ask his master for help.

But he was scolded by Chu Luobai for asking last time, so he didn't dare to say it again this time.

He didn't want his senior sister to think of him as a man who lacked his own opinions and only thought of asking his master for help.

"Need not."

Chu Luobai shook her head slightly.

Her past life had already proven to her that self-justification was meaningless.

Even if he were to lay bare his heart and soul to prove his innocence, these people would only believe what they already believed.

They don't care what the truth is.

Instead of wasting time trying to prove themselves to them, it would be more convenient to just use force to suppress them.

"We'll handle our own affairs at Xiaoyao Peak; there's no need to involve Zhao Jingren and the others."

"But...."

Qiu Lin wanted to say something more, but Chu Luobai interrupted him directly.

"There's no 'but' about it. Trust your senior sister."

"Let's go, it's time to return to the Azure Cloud Sword Sect."

Chu Luobai packed his luggage, picked up the Lingxiao sword, and went straight downstairs.

Downstairs, a tall, slender figure was standing at the door.

"Has the new prince, who's always so busy, finally found some time to rest today?"

Chu Luobai looked at Feng Xunyuan, who was no longer the beggar he had rescued from a dark alley.

He was now dressed in a moon-white long robe, the hem of which was embroidered with intricate patterns using the most complex needlework techniques.

A handsome face was already taking shape, his eyes were calm, and he exuded the composure of someone in a position of power.

Although there was no one beside him at this moment, Chu Luobai could sense that there were many hidden guards lurking in the distance.

He was acting like a prince who was receiving a lot of attention.

"Fellow Daoist Chu has done me a great favor. Now that he is returning to the Sword Sect, I must come to see him off."

"Otherwise, wouldn't that make him an ungrateful wretch?"

Feng Xunyuan smiled calmly.

Chu Luobai frowned slightly and glanced at Qiu Lin beside her.

After confirming that the other party had not told Feng Xunyuan that he was leaving today, he was slightly surprised.

Although Chu Luobai had witnessed Feng Xunyuan's abilities in her previous life, it was only now that she truly realized the other party's talent in wielding power.

He had only been the seventh prince for a few days, yet he had already become aware of every little thing happening in the entire capital.

Even when I was about to leave, he would receive the message immediately and wait for me downstairs at the inn.

Chu Luobai believed that it wouldn't be long before the entire Tianyuan Imperial City would be under Feng Xunyuan's control.

"There's no need to make this fancy display. Remember what you promised me."

Chu Luobai reached out and patted Feng Xunyuan's shoulder. He was very envious of the entire Tianyuan Dynasty's ten percent of spirit mines.

Moreover, the original contract did not specify that it was limited to the current Tianyuan Dynasty.

If Feng Xunyuan expands the territory of the entire Tianyuan Dynasty in the future, Chu Luobai's benefits will also increase accordingly.

No matter how you look at it, this is a sure-fire way to make money.

"Of course, I will definitely keep my promise."

Feng Xunyuan stared at the scene for a moment, seemingly hesitating about something.

"What, you want me to leave you some magical treasures for protection?"

Chu Luobai was too lazy to guess what the other party was thinking, so she asked directly.

"The cultivation techniques that Fellow Daoist Chu taught me are sufficient for my needs. I only wish to ask, if I were to embark on the path of seeking immortality in the future, would I still be able to see Fellow Daoist Chu again?"

Feng Xunyuan's question startled Chu Luobai.

What's wrong with this guy? Why is he giving up being a proper emperor on earth to come here and cultivate immortality?

What will happen to his spirit stones if he stops being emperor?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Chu Luobai decided to tell the truth.

"Seeking immortality and pursuing the Dao depends on opportunity and talent. If you can truly become an inner disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect, I will take the initiative to invite you to join Xiaoyao Peak. How about that?"

Feng Xunyuan's eyes flashed, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Then I hope Fellow Daoist Chu will not break his promise in the future."

“If a sword cultivator breaks his promise, he will be devoured by his inner demons. Instead of worrying about that, why don’t you think about how to swallow what Feng Xiuquan left behind?”

After Feng Xiuquan's death, Cuiqing Tower became ownerless.

The other princes were eyeing the matter covetously, but the old emperor made it clear he didn't want to get involved.

Without further ado, Chu Luobai led Feng Xunyuan into Cuiqing Tower.

After revealing the evidence and executing three leaders, the others dared not say another word and obediently accepted their fate.

The other princes were surprised that Feng Xunyuan and Chu Luobai would act so bandit-like, but the situation was already settled, and no one dared to provoke a Dao Integration Realm cultivator.

Thus, Feng Xiuquan's largest business was successfully transferred to Feng Xunyuan's name.

This can be considered a small compensation for the raid on Nanfeng Pavilion, in addition to Bai's efforts.

As for the other things left behind by Feng Xiuquan, Chu Luobai had no intention of interfering further.

You always have to pay a price to get what you want.

"The green hills remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on forever. Seventh Prince, farewell."

After finishing speaking, Chu Luobai waved his hand and flew away on his sword.

"Hey, senior sister, wait for me."

Qiu Lin hurriedly followed behind, afraid of being left behind.

Feng Xunyuan watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, his eyes slightly darkening.

There is a whole world outside the imperial city, and he doesn't want to be trapped here.

But some things, in the end, you have to do them yourself.
