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

"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission and obtaining the Spirit-Seeking Jade Disc."

The system's voice rang in his mind. Chu Luobai was startled and felt the awe-inspiring gazes from the surrounding disciples. He couldn't help but ask in his mind.

"System, you anticipated this outcome, didn't you?"

"Returning to the host, this is the best result determined based on the logical judgment of this system."

Chu Luobai lowered her eyes, her gaze flickering.

This approach is indeed much better than simply beating Zhao Yunlan up on Xiaoyao Peak.

Although the people on Xiaoyao Peak are not as arrogant as they were in the previous life, Chu Luobai knows this clearly.

The majority of people are still willing to stand on Mu Yurou's side.

If he were to punish Zhao Yunlan on Xiaoyao Peak, although he would be venting his anger, the rumors of him practicing evil arts would still persist.

Keeping this rumor going until the sect competition will only cause big trouble.

"Senior sister, are we going back?"

Qiu Lin's voice brought Chu Luobai back to her senses.

She turned her head and found that everyone from Xiaoyao Peak was silently following behind her, and no one dared to leave.

The intimidation effect of this arena battle is quite good.

Chu Luobai couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"From this day forward, anyone on Xiaoyao Peak who harbors unfounded suspicions against fellow disciples and dares not step onto the arena will be treated as having falsely accused a fellow disciple."

"Article 20 of the Qingyun Sword Sect's rules states that anyone who falsely accuses another shall be whipped and imprisoned in a cold cell for one day."

"Did you hear everything clearly?"

The disciples of Xiaoyao Peak dared not refute at this moment and could only nod silently.

Even Mu Yurou, having just been punished by Elder Zhao, dared not say anything unnecessary.

"Then let's disperse. Those who have been punished should remember to go and receive their punishment."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yurou's face stiffened; she truly did not want to go to the Cliff of Repentance again.

"Senior sister, could you please plead with Elder Zhao for me? The sect competition is just around the corner..."

Mu Yurou spoke softly, but when she looked up, she found that Chu Luobai had already walked far away.

"Senior sister, what are you planning to do next?"

With his morning practice interrupted, Qiu Lin lost interest in cultivating and simply followed Chu Luobai around like a tagalong.

"Go down the mountain."

"what?"

The mountain path was winding, and Chu Luobai didn't use his sword; he just walked down on his own two legs.

By the time we reached the foot of the mountain, it was already noon.

Qiu Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked back at the Qingyun Sword Sect shrouded in mist, and felt as if his legs were no longer his own.

"Senior sister, are we going to have to walk up ourselves later?"

Recalling when I first joined the Qingyun Sword Sect, it took me three whole days to walk up there.

He almost lost half his life, but now that he's started cultivating, his physique has improved considerably.

However, keeping up with Chu Luobai's pace up the mountain was still extremely difficult.

"You're already exhausted after walking such a short distance? As a sword cultivator, your physique is rather poor."

Looking at Qiu Lin's panting appearance, Chu Luobai suddenly thought of her past self.

Master has not yet gone into seclusion, and Chu Luobai is the only disciple on Xiaoyao Peak.

At that time, Master was clearly a cultivator who had entered the Mahayana stage, but he never used a sword to go up or down the mountain and preferred to walk.

And he likes to bring Chu Luobai along.

Poor Chu Luobai was just a child back then, and he felt hopeless about life every day.

Thinking back, my expression back then wasn't much different from Qiu Lin's now.

"Senior sister, I am a sword cultivator, so I should use my sword to travel up and down the mountain, not walk."

Qiu Lin slumped onto a roadside stone, weakly retorting.

"So, you know more about swords than I do?"

Chu Luobai raised an eyebrow, and Qiu Lin quickly shook his head to change the subject.

"Senior sister, you still haven't told me why you came down the mountain."

Although it's called going down the mountain, the scope is limited to this small town at the foot of the mountain.

If you want to go further, you must report to the sect.

"Have you forgotten what we got before?"

Chu Luo swaggered around in her storage ring, which contained many items she had previously obtained from Feng Xiuquan.

Qiu Lin's eyes lit up; he had almost forgotten about this.

"Oh right, senior sister, I know a fairly large trading company. Their prices are reasonable."

"It closes early, senior sister, we need to hurry over."

An hour later, the manager of Wutong Trading Company greeted Qiu Lin and Chu Luobai with a smile and saw them to the door.

"Both of your items are of excellent quality. If you have anything else you'd like to sell in the future, don't forget our shop."

"Our shop will definitely offer the fairest price."

Chu Luo swaggered in her hand, holding a Qiankun bag containing a high-grade spirit stone, more than ten mid-grade spirit stones, and several low-grade spirit stones.

She traded all of these for the spiritual herbs from the Spirit Herb Garden and the wool she had plundered from Feng Xiuquan.

This is the first time Chu Luobai has ever been so wealthy, from his past life to the present.

Standing to the side, Qiu Lin held his Qiankun bag with a satisfied expression. He had also obtained quite a few good things from Feng Xiuquan.

Not to mention that later he followed Feng Xunyuan to investigate and confiscate some of Feng Xiuquan's properties.

In an effort to curry favor, Mingyue Academy also sent Qiu Lin many nice gifts.

At this moment, the two senior and junior disciples could be considered among the wealthiest of the Qingyun Sword Sect disciples.

"Senior sister, what do we do now? Should we go back to cultivate?"

Qiu Lin carefully put the Qiankun bag into his pocket. With these spirit stones by his side, he felt that he had a chance to break through to the Refining Spirit Realm before the sect competition.

Chu Luobai reached out and flicked Qiu Lin's head with her finger.

"After hanging out with Zhao Jingren for so long, you've become like those sword fanatics on Wenling Peak, only knowing how to cultivate?"

Qiu Lin rubbed his forehead in pain.

"Isn't the sect competition just around the corner...?"

"There's no rush, it won't happen in a day or two."

Chu Luobai looked around; it had been a long time since she had been to Qingyun City.

The buildings in the city were both familiar and unfamiliar to her.

After thinking for a moment, she followed the route in her memory and arrived in front of a restaurant.

"Your senior sister is in a good mood today, so she's treating you to a big meal."

Qiu Lin looked at the best restaurant in Qingyun City and blinked excitedly.

"Tianxing Tower? Senior Sister, you're inviting me to eat here?"

Sword cultivators were poor, and as a result, the food served in their sects was also very ordinary.

But most sword cultivators still can't bear to eat a good meal.

Smelling the delicious aroma of food wafting from Tianxinglou, Qiu Lin could hardly resist rushing inside.

"Of course...no."

Chu Luobai turned Qiu Lin's shoulder, making him look at the opposite side of Tianxing Tower.

It was a small, somewhat dilapidated restaurant, and even the signboard looked like it was about to fall apart.

Compared to the Tianxinglou restaurant across the street, this restaurant was extremely shabby.

"Huh? Senior sister, are you sure?"

Qiu Lin pouted, looking at the Tianxing Tower across the street with some reluctance.

Standing in front of the restaurant, Qiu Lin felt a chill in the air; it didn't seem like a place to eat at all.

He couldn't help but swallow hard and tugged at Chu Luobai's sleeve.

"Senior sister, why don't we go back to the sect and eat in the cafeteria? Actually, I think the food there is pretty good."
