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

"The only information I can reveal to you is that, among all my past hosts, your cultivation speed is not the slowest."

Seemingly sensing the resentment and shame in Chu Luobai's heart, the system continued.

"At the same time, as your assistant, you don't need to worry about me."

"I am just like Lingxiao in your hands, merely a tool to help you become stronger."

Is this how I comfort myself?

Chu Luobai was taken aback, suddenly realizing that the system wasn't as cold and impersonal as it had been before.

Perhaps I'm being too anxious.

Reaching the Tribulation Realm is no easy feat.

"My master once said, 'He who travels a hundred miles is only halfway there at ninety.'"

"The closer we get to the end, the more composed we need to be. With the sect competition just around the corner, we should improve our cultivation as much as we can."

Thinking it over, Chu Luobai took a deep breath, trying to calm the strange feeling in his heart.

Then, she glanced at the empty spirit herb garden and raised her hand to dispel the formation.

Previously, quite a few disciples from Xiaoyao Peak had been peering out from the entrance of the Spirit Herb Garden.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Back then, when Chu Luobai released this garden of spiritual herbs for them to use, they were full of disdain.

Now that it's no longer useful, I'm starting to miss it.

"If you want it, then grow it yourself."

After saying that, he turned and left the herb garden, heading towards his bamboo house.

As soon as Chu Luobai approached the bamboo house, he heard a quarrel.

"How dare you come here?"

Qiu Lin's face was full of mockery, and his hands were already tightly gripping Jiang Yuzhe's collar.

"What does my location have to do with you? I am your senior brother. Are you trying to disrespect me and enter the Enforcement Peak?"

Jiang Yuzhe looked impatient and spoke in a cold tone, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

"Senior brother? In the Sword Sect, strength is paramount. You are at the early stage of the Spirit Refinement realm, and so am I. What makes you think you can be my senior brother?"

"Oh, I forgot."

Qiu Lin deliberately dragged out his tone, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

“Junior Brother Jiang, after you came out of the Demon Suppression Tower, your cultivation level plummeted. Now it seems that you only have the strength of Qi Refining.”

"Logically speaking, you should call me senior brother."

"you!"

During her time in the Demon Suppression Tower, Yu Jiangyu was living in the darkest of times.

Qiu Lin's words now are undoubtedly a deliberate attempt to rub salt in his wounds.

Jiang Yuzhe could no longer hold back and started fighting with Qiu Lin.

Fortunately, both of them still had some sense of reason and did not use their spiritual power when they fought.

Boom!

The sound of a fist striking flesh was dull and grating.

Chu Luobai stood at a distance and watched quietly until Jiang Yuzhe was beaten so badly that he couldn't speak before she showed herself.

"Qiu Lin, stop hitting him."

Qiu Lin, who was riding on Jiang Yuzhe, heard Chu Luobai's voice, paused in his swinging fist, and quickly jumped down and ran to Chu Luobai.

"Hehe, senior sister."

"...Heh heh my foot, you really want to hit someone?"

Chu Luobai's voice was slightly deep, indicating that he knew Qiu Lin was doing this to avenge him.

But the necessary reprimands still need to be given.

Otherwise, this kid will probably beat Jiang Yuzhe every time he sees him in the future.

During this period, Jiang Yuzhe was almost universally hated in the sect.

He had been hiding on Xiaoyao Peak, and even the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak rarely saw him.

They actually took the initiative to come forward today?

Surely he couldn't have come out just to get beaten up by Qiu Lin and vent his anger, could he?

When Chu Luobai called out to Qiu Lin, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Yuzhe's eyes.

He quickly got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Senior sister, it's been a long time..."

Chu Luobai did not answer, but just stared at Jiang Yuzhe quietly.

This person has a skin thicker than a city wall. Even after things have gotten this bad, he still dares to show up in front of me.

Could it be that I spoiled him too much in the past, making him feel that he could trample on my bottom line without restraint?

"Senior sister, it was all Mu Yurou and Xiao Xuancheng who lied to me..."

"What are you lying to me about? Do you think that after you expel your senior sister from the sect, that the Chenghuang will be yours?"

Qiu Lin stood between Chu Luobai and Jiang Yuzhe without any hesitation.

"No, they said that Senior Sister won't be expelled from the sect."

"I just..."

Jiang Yuzhe stepped aside from Qiu Lin and looked at Chu Luobai with a bitter expression.

"I'm sorry, senior sister. I just wanted to apologize to you today."

"I was too greedy before, which led to all of this happening."

"I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just want to hear you call me 'Junior Brother' one more time, okay?"

As Chu Luobai listened, he rubbed his temples, feeling a slight throbbing pain in his head.

Jiang Yuzhe was used to determining the extent of his apology based on the severity of his mistakes.

This time, he realized the seriousness of what he had done.

They even resorted to their trump card tactic of retreating to advance.

"How disgusting! You still have the nerve to talk to your senior sister. Even if I have to go to the Enforcement Peak today, I'll teach you a lesson again."

Seeing that Chu Luobai didn't speak, Qiu Lin immediately said fiercely, rubbing his wrist, and was about to move forward.

Chu Luobai raised her hand to stop the person and shook her head slightly.

Upon seeing this action, a dark glint flashed in Jiang Yuzhe's eyes.

"Senior sister, I just want to stand shoulder to shoulder with you. It's not possible today, but I'm sure I will be able to in the future..."

"Are you trying to tell me that everything you've done is to catch up with me, all for my sake?"

Chu Luobai looked at Jiang Yuzhe, and their eyes met unexpectedly in mid-air.

Jiang Yuzhe was clearly a little guilty, but she quickly composed herself.

"No, it's all because I was too greedy..."

"However, I will never do such a thing again. I will definitely cultivate hard and try to catch up with my senior sister."

"Senior sister, please trust me one more time, okay?"

Chu Luobai had heard the same words in her previous life.

But what was Jiang Yuzhe thinking back then?

Oh right, it's for the sword Lingxiao that my master left me.

He led many disciples of Xiaoyao Peak and, using the excuse that Chu Luobai's cultivation was insufficient, removed Chu Luobai from the position of Xiaoyao Peak's eldest disciple.

Then, using the pretext that Lingxiao was left by their master to the eldest disciple of Xiaoyao Peak, they took Lingxiao away from Chu Luobai.

Afterwards, he eagerly came to apologize, saying that he was just too eager to become stronger.

This saying is exactly the same as it is today.

Chu Luobai shook his head, a perfectly measured look of confusion in his eyes.

"It seems I forgot to teach you something back then: the most important thing for a cultivator is to clearly understand their own strength."

"You're only at the Qi Refining stage; you'll never catch up to me in this lifetime."

"If you're trying to tell me 'Don't underestimate a young man's potential,' then I can only tell you that so-called prodigies may achieve fame at a young age, but once they've passed their youth..."

"They can only grow old and die."

"You and I are no longer from the same world."

After saying that, Chu Luobai reached out and patted Jiang Yuzhe on the shoulder before brushing past him.

These were the last words Jiang Yuzhe spoke to Chu Luobai when he broke through to the Void Refinement stage.
