Source of "It Turns Out I Was Really the Protagonist":

The following morning, under a cloudless sky, a large group of cultivators suddenly appeared above the Luoyun Sect, hovering in mid-air a variety of magical artifacts. The leader, with a thick beard and bushy eyebrows, exuded an imposing aura and shouted down at the main hall of the Luoyun Sect below:

"Chang Sheng Dao Ren, we have come on the orders of the academy to capture the murderer who killed Bai Guo. We hope that your sect will not show favoritism or protect him, and will not become an enemy of the Bu Er Academy!"

Before the steel-bearded giant could finish speaking, the Immortal Daoist had already led his disciples to prostrate themselves outside the main hall, appearing ready to await their fate. At this moment, Jue Mingzi squeezed through the crowd from the Incomparable Academy, bowed to the steel-bearded giant, and slowly landed beside the Immortal Daoist, whispering:

"Master, the matter has been handled as you instructed. The Bu Er Academy will not make things difficult for the Luo Yun Sect."

Upon hearing this, the kneeling Taoist priest's face lit up with a hint of joy, and he said in a deep voice:

"Okay, very good, thank you for your hard work!"

During the brief pause in their conversation, the grand procession from the Incomparable Academy slowly descended before the main hall. Each member was expressionless, their faces grim and imposing. Upon seeing this, the Immortal Daoist rose and bowed, saying:

"I am the Sect Master of Luoyun Sect, greetings to Elder Bai!"

It turns out that this burly man with the steel beard was actually an elder of the Bu Er Academy, whose real name was Bai Shu. He was Bai Guo's uncle. Upon hearing the news of Bai Guo's death, he immediately summoned his confidants to come. On the way, he bumped into Jue Mingzi, who was covered in dust from his journey, and they ended up arriving at Luo Yun Sect together.

"Sect Master, no need for formalities. Jue Ming has already told me the whole story. Based on the images on the soul tablet, I am not an unreasonable person and will not implicate innocent disciples. Just hand over that villain."

Following the orders of the Immortal of Longevity, Jue Mingzi endured the excruciating pain in his chest and carried eight hundred longevity pills accumulated by the sect in recent years. He originally intended to go to the Bu Er Academy to apologize, but unexpectedly ran into the aggressive Bai Shu. After explaining the situation, he rushed back together. If it weren't for those eight hundred longevity pills, Bai Shu probably wouldn't have been so understanding.

The Immortal Daoist, having discerned everything from Bai Shu's tone, understood without further ado and quickly said:

"It is truly regrettable that Deacon Bai has suffered such a calamity. The villain was my sect's grand-uncle, but more than a thousand years ago, he had basically become detached from the sect and had almost no contact with the sect. Who would have thought that he would commit such a heinous crime as soon as he reappeared!"

"Hmph! Changsheng, enough of this idle talk, where is that villain? Lead the way now!"

Changsheng Daoren hurriedly bowed and straightened his way, while Jue Mingzi, carrying his ailing body, took the lead and walked at the very front of the crowd. The group headed towards Li Sisui's residence in a grand procession. At this time, Li Sisui was still immersed in the booklet and had no idea what was happening outside.

"It's just ahead, Elder Bai, please be patient!"

"There he is!"

When everyone saw Li Sisui sitting cross-legged at the door, they were immediately stunned. What time is it? They have already come to the door, and the situation is urgent. Instead of running away, he still has the leisure to cultivate. Does he have absolute confidence, or does he really not take the Buer Academy seriously?

"Hey! You villain! Prepare to die!"

The twenty-odd cultivators brought by Bai Shu had originally prepared a binding formation to trap Li Sisui and prevent him from escaping. After all, he was someone who could kill Bai Guo with a single blow, and they could not afford to underestimate him. However, seeing that he not only did not run away, but was also sitting at the door cultivating in a swaggering manner, they were immediately enraged and roared, ready to make a move!

Just then, a ripple came from the void to the side. Bai Shu subconsciously reached out and caught it. A white light entered his palm, revealing a uniquely shaped jade pendant. A solemn expression crossed Bai Shu's face. This peculiar jade pendant was the sect's long-distance communication talisman. It would never be wasted like this unless it was something important. After all, this thing only existed on the mountain, and there were no materials needed to refine it in the Wulipo area.

A flicker of doubt crossed Bai Shu's eyes, but without hesitation, he crushed the jade pendant. The shattered pendant emitted a burst of white light, forming a crystalline cloud resembling a giant mirror. Immediately from within the cloud came a majestic voice. Upon seeing this, everyone, including Bai Shu, bowed respectfully and shouted in unison:

"We greet the Dean!"

The voice from within the crystal clouds was none other than the Dean of the Incomparable Academy. No wonder everyone held him in such awe. The Dean's authoritative voice slowly spread out:

"All disciples of the Incomparable Academy, listen to my command! Due to the theft of a large number of Longevity Pills from within the academy, and following an investigation by the academy's elders, it has been discovered that Bai Guo, due to repeated consumption of forbidden pills, is nearing the end of his life. Without the academy's permission, he not only impersonated the dean and embezzled hundreds of Longevity Pills, but also went so far as to tarnish the academy's reputation by demanding that the Luo Yun Sect provide an additional large number of Longevity Pills. He has seriously disregarded the dean and violated the academy's rules, and according to the rules, he should be executed!"

Given that Bai Guo has now been executed, this matter is hereby closed and will not be pursued further. No one is permitted to use this as an excuse to incite conflict between sects. The Unique Academy has always upheld reason and persuasion; no one is allowed to bully the weak or engage in any behavior that dishonors the academy. All disciples must immediately return to the academy. Those who disobey will be punished according to the academy's rules. This order is effective immediately and without delay!

There was an uproar around them. They were about to get revenge, so why was it suddenly stopped?

The cultivators of Bu Er Academy exchanged bewildered glances. The magical artifacts they had already sent out could only hang awkwardly behind them. Who dared disobey the Dean's order? After a moment's consideration, the cultivators could only helplessly say:

"Elder Bai, you see... there's nothing we can do about this right now. We need to get back to the academy as soon as possible. Is that alright?"

Bai Shu's face turned bright red, and he was ashamed. After all, he had gathered so many people by using the name of the academy. The academy's original intention was to investigate the matter first before taking any action. However, Bai Shu was so eager for revenge that he couldn't wait for the academy to investigate, so he summoned everyone to come here!

It seems that the academy had already secretly investigated Bai Guo long before this incident, but no one expected the results to come out at this critical juncture. This kid's luck is truly extraordinary. Bai Shu couldn't help but grit his teeth and think to himself, then turned his head and said:

"Gentlemen, since the Dean has given the order, we cannot disobey it. Now that this matter has nothing to do with the academy, it has become my personal matter. I cannot trouble you all to step forward and cause trouble. Besides, this villain has not escaped. Whether you are here or not makes little difference. You may return on your own. You do not need to worry about the rest."

Elder Bai, aren't you coming back with us?

"No matter what Bai Guo did, he died under mysterious circumstances. As his senior uncle, how can I just walk away? We must get an explanation to comfort his soul. As for the dean, you don't need to worry about him. After this matter is settled, I will personally go to the dean and let him handle it according to the academy rules!"

As he spoke, Bai Shu's eyes reddened, unable to control himself. He was clearly unable to accept Bai Guo's sudden departure. The two had cultivated together for over a hundred years, supporting each other along the way. Although they addressed each other as uncle and nephew on the surface, they were actually teacher and friend. How could Bai Shu remain indifferent to Bai Guo's sudden death?
