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

"So you're a distinguished guest from the sect. I saw this fellow Daoist acting suspiciously in the back mountains and thought..."

"Now it seems that it was all just a misunderstanding."

"However, we became friends after our fight, so it can be said that I am destined to meet this fellow Daoist."

Yi Nuan laughed heartily and gave Zhao Jingren a slight bow.

"I suppose you wouldn't hold such a small matter against me, would you?"

Chu Luobai raised an eyebrow, if she hadn't already known the female cultivator's name.

She almost thought that the Yi Nuan in front of her was the one who dared to destroy her cultivation in her previous life.

Nan Yue, Yi Nuan, and this Xue Xuan.

Chu Luobai subconsciously felt that the relationship between these three people must be quite close.

"When someone asks you a question, you're a grown man, you can't be so petty as to argue about such a small thing."

Hearing the slight sarcasm in Chu Luobai's words, Zhao Jingren's face darkened.

"She practically chopped my head off with a sword, and you're not going to hold a grudge?"

Immediately, Zhao Jingren raised his voice and said coldly.

"If it weren't for my high cultivation level, I would probably be dead in your Liuying Sword Sect today."

"Elder Lou, are all the disciples of your Sword Sect like this?"

"You accidentally hurt someone, and you can't even apologize?"

Lou Jiming felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed the oppressive aura emanating from Zhao Jingren, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

He glanced cautiously at Chu Luobai, and only breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that the other's expression remained unchanged.

These are two powerful beings at the Dao Integration Realm.

Lou Jiming dared not even think about how powerful the force must be to cultivate such a young Dao Integration cultivator.

In any case, these three were not people that a small, ninth-rate sect like Liuying Sword Sect could afford to offend.

"Yi Nuan! Apologize to Fellow Daoist Zhao right now!"

"But he was the one who came to the back mountain without saying goodbye."

Yi Nuan showed a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.

"You were wrong to injure someone! Don't try to argue!"

While scolding them, Lou Jiming carefully observed the expressions on Chu Luobai and Zhao Jingren's faces.

They were afraid that if the other party became unhappy, they would wipe out the entire Liuying Sword Sect.

"But it's clearly not entirely my fault..."

Yi Nuan pouted and muttered softly.

"And for a grown man to be so petty is worse than me."

"Enough, Yi Nuan! Apologize! Otherwise, get out of the Liuying Sword Sect!"

Lou Jiming was genuinely afraid and couldn't help but growl.

Yi Nuan was stunned. She had never been treated like this since she joined the sect.

"It's just an apology, so I'll apologize."

"I'm sorry, fellow Daoist, I shouldn't have attacked you so suddenly."

She apologized verbally, but Yi Nuan was clearly not convinced.

"Forget it, I don't want to talk to idiots."

Zhao Jingren hid behind Chu Luobai with a gloomy expression and couldn't help but complain.

"What exactly are you here to retrieve?"

"Can you take it and leave quickly?"

"Aren't we waiting for the sect competition to end?"

This was the first time Chu Luobai had seen Zhao Jingren so embarrassed, and she found it amusing.

"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet."

Meanwhile, a barely perceptible hint of gloom flashed in Yi Nuan's eyes.

The hand hidden in the sleeve was clenched tightly.

"Damn it, how can there be such a petty and calculating man in this world?"

"And he was so cold to me."

"Don't all these self-proclaimed powerful sword cultivators have a thing for this?"

Yi Nuan couldn't understand it; this was the first time she had ever been ignored like this.

Especially when she saw Zhao Jingren and Chu Luobai chatting and laughing, her displeasure grew even stronger.

"However, the young male cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm are indeed much better than the few good-for-nothings in the sect."

On the stage.

Zhao Jingren suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver.

He had a bad feeling that someone was watching him.

"Since it's all a misunderstanding, let's just let it go to avoid hurting our relationship."

Chu Luobai stood up and smiled calmly.

Although there are some inexplicable people in this sect, it is ultimately a sect left behind by the Drunken Sword Immortal, so it's best not to make things too ugly.

As for Nan Yue, such a promising talent, I can also mentor her along the way.

"It seems your sect's competition has completely ended, and the champion must be this Junior Sister Nan Yue, right?"

Upon hearing Chu Luobai's words, Lou Jiming breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Is Chu Luobai interested in Nan Yue?

Although Nan Yue is indeed very talented, she is just an orphan with no powerful backing.

Lacking both resources and connections, it's difficult for such a person to grow.

However, if we could establish a connection with Nan Yue and Chu Luobai...

"Naturally, Nan Yue has emerged victorious in this sect competition."

"but..."

Chu Luobai suddenly changed the subject.

"Just now I heard Fellow Daoist Xue Xuan say that you win? If a real winner isn't decided, I'm afraid Nan Yue's championship won't be convincing to the public."

"How about this, I'll also add my own luck today."

"Anyone who disagrees with Nan Yue may step forward to challenge her. The one who succeeds will be considered the champion. How about I personally reward her with a Cold Bone Grass?"

"Cold Bone Grass?!"

Lou Jiming's eyes widened instantly.

He couldn't help but wonder what Chu Luobai's background was.

He can casually produce a top-grade spiritual herb!

"Since it's meant to add some color, it can't be too shabby. Or does Elder Lou look down on my Cold Bone Grass?"

Chu Luobai looked confused.

Lou Jiming quickly shook his head, his smile remaining unchanged.

"I'm just embarrassed that Fellow Daoist Chu has gone to such lengths."

It should be noted that there aren't many high-grade spiritual herbs in the entire Liuying Sword Sect.

How could he not be happy to have picked up a top-grade spiritual herb for free?

“Then let’s begin. I noticed that Fellow Daoist Xue Xuan was quite dissatisfied with Fellow Daoist Nan Yue’s victory, so let’s start with him.”

"Fellow Daoist Xue Xuan, what do you think?"

Chu Luobai's gaze swept over Xue Xuan, whose face was frozen, and she smiled slightly.

Nan Yue also looked puzzled.

"This cultivator... is a complete stranger to me, so why does he protect me every time?"

"Moreover, the cultivator who just sparred with Senior Brother Xue Xuan seems to have been sent down by her as well."

"How is this going?"

Nan Yue couldn't understand it.

"Fellow Daoist Xue Xuan?"

Seeing Xue Xuan standing still and not answering, Chu Luobai kindly reminded him.

"If I didn't unleash my full potential last time, why not pick up the sword and have another fight?"

Chu Luobai pointed at the longsword that Xue Xuan had thrown on the ground, her tone tinged with anger.

Sword cultivators, if they don't even know how to cherish the three-foot-long sword in their own hands.

Does this kind of person even deserve to call himself a sword cultivator?

and.....

Chu Luobai sensed the thoughts emanating from the gourd in the blessed land.

Nan Yue seems to possess some kind of special constitution.

The gourd sensed it during the previous fight.

However, Chu Luobai is too far away, and the gourd cannot come out of the blessed land, so it's still uncertain.

If it could get closer and fully sense the spiritual energy fluctuations on Nan Yue's body, the gourd would be able to make a judgment.

Chu Luobai also suspected that there were deeper reasons why Nan Yue betrayed the sect back then.

Seeing that only this one promising talent remained in the sect left behind by the Sword Immortal, Chu Luobai could not simply abandon him.
