Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

Frustrated, Grandpa Jiang kicked Jiang Hezhou, saying, "It's all your fault for being useless. If you had learned some skills, you wouldn't have gotten into danger."

Jiang Hezhou: He was so wronged! He almost died and then got kicked by his grandfather.

"Old man, you can't be unreasonable."

Yao Feiran looked at the several elderly people around her, who were probably all Taoist masters, with faint energy surging around them. Old Master Jiang looked Yao Feiran up and down, feeling more and more sorry for her. Jiang Hezhou was the only son in the family, but unfortunately, he was a good-for-nothing.

"This is the vengeful ghost of Panshan Road, codenamed Twin Tails. She was a little girl who was tortured and killed when she was seven years old. After that, she turned into a vengeful ghost and has a ghost domain. She recently appeared on Panshan Road. He Zhou didn't tell me you were coming beforehand, so I was led to this road."

Jiang Hezhou retorted, "I did ask the housekeeper, and he said you went here."

Grandpa Jiang's face was serious, and Jiang Hezhou also reacted: "Uncle Hua betrayed us? How is that possible? It's been so many years."

"There is no such thing as eternal loyalty." Old Master Jiang glared at him. "Don't be so reckless next time. You should thank the young girl properly for saving you."

"No, it's all thanks to the old man's magical artifacts," Yao Feiran waved her hand.

"These things were also considered trash by He Zhou. If it weren't for you, they would probably have turned to ashes long ago." Old Master Jiang said, "Transfer one million to the young lady. Don't run around at home during this time."

Yao Feiran thought to herself that Old Master Jiang was really shrewd, and there was even an unexpected bonus. Anyway, the Jiang family wasn't short of money: "Thank you, Old Master. I just happen to be short of money."

"Haha, I like this kind of straightforward personality." Old Master Jiang said, "You should come to the Jiang family more often in the future. If you have any troubles that you can't solve in real life, just call He Zhou. Although he's not very talented, he makes a good living."

I heard that Jiang Hezhou's parents have both passed away, and he single-handedly supports the Jiang Group. Actually, it's not as bad as Old Master Jiang said. I thought it was fake before, after all, he has blond hair and doesn't look like a president.

Jiang Hezhou didn't dislike Yao Feiran, but he was inexplicably a little afraid of her. Yao Feiran chatted with Grandpa Jiang for a while and even played a few games of chess, winning and losing about half the time.

She had studied various things before, including chess, but she hadn't specifically studied it. Even so, the old man would still blush when he encountered a difficult situation.

Jiang Hezhou escorted Yao Feiran back to school, his expression gloating: "Haha, the old man loves to take back moves when playing chess, but he's embarrassed to let you off the hook since you're a junior. This is the first time I've seen him get the short end of the stick."

"......"

"By the way, why did you study that stuff? You'll be dealing with those weird things all the time."

"To avoid encountering a vengeful ghost like you, I only think about becoming a vengeful ghost after death to seek revenge."

If you encounter a vengeful ghost, your soul might be obliterated. How could you possibly become a vengeful ghost to seek revenge? It's like a nested doll.

"......"

Jiang Hezhou was successfully thwarted, and the car instantly fell silent.

As they approached the school, Yao Feiran remembered that Grandpa Jiang had said that if she wanted to learn magic and talismans, she could go to the Jiang family's library and have Jiang Hezhou lead the way.

It is said that the knowledge cannot be passed down personally, but the old man is so generous, most likely because the Jiang family has no successor.

Yao Feiran has no powerful backing, and Grandma Xu should be considered a rogue cultivator or something similar, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed in the village all this time. Yao Feiran is considered to be part of the Jiang family lineage.

After Yao Feiran got out of the car, someone blocked her way. Upon closer inspection, she saw it was Wang Yiyu. She almost didn't recognize him. He looked like he had been drained of his yang energy; his eyes were sunken, he had lost a lot of weight, and he walked with hunched shoulders. He looked completely different from how he used to be.

However, she didn't have any ghostly aura, but we can't be sure she wasn't related to ghosts either, and she hadn't learned any other minor arts.

"Yao Feiran".

"What's up?"

"I didn't expect you to be dating a rich guy. This car must be worth almost ten million. I wonder how much that old man paid you."

Yao Feiran looked at his mocking expression, feeling somewhat confused. They had already broken up, so what she did was none of his business.

"none of your business."

Yao Feiran kicked him in the knee, and Wang Yiyu knelt down in pain.

When Yao Feiran returned to the dormitory, Wu Yao saw her with a dark face and said, "What's wrong? Why does your face look so dark?"

"I met an idiot."

"You didn't see Wang Yiyu, did you? I heard he and Chen Xi broke up."

"So fast? It's only been a few months."

"Yes, Chen Xi's family is said to be very rich. When they were dating, Chen Xi covered all the expenses. Now Wang Yiyu is begging to get back together with her."

No wonder he was angry with her; it turns out he was the one who got dumped.

Liu Ying chimed in, "Chen Xi is probably just doing it for fun. She doesn't have a good reputation to begin with; she changes boyfriends all the time."

The next topic of conversation was gossip about crickets. Yao Feiran didn't respond. Instead, she opened a secret website filled with information about exchanges between Taoist masters. However, most of it was useless, as true Taoist teachings are not easily revealed.

Feng shui masters are more popular, and they generally help wealthy people choose locations for their residences and commercial facilities, and arrange the interior and exterior layouts to improve the family's fortune.

Ghost-catching bounties like these are basically problems that the Paranormal Bureau can't handle, so it's even less likely that ordinary rogue cultivators would accept such a task.

Yao Feiran browsed through some bounties but couldn't find a suitable one, so she quickly logged out.

During that time, she would go to the library of the Jiang family's old house to study Taoist arts every weekend, and Jiang Hezhou would pick her up each time.

As time went by, it was inevitable that someone would notice this place.

The other girls in the dorm had also heard some of the news. Wu Yao hesitated and said, "Feiran, it seems like there's been a lot of discussion about something on the school forum these past few days."

"What are you talking about?"

Yao Feiran had never been to the forum.

"They said a luxury car often comes to pick up students from the school. The license plate seems to belong to the president of the Jiang Group. I think the photo looks like you."

"It's me."

"Oh, do you really have some kind of relationship with President Jiang?"

"No, it's not that, it's about me and his grandfather—"

"What?!"

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise. Liu Ying said, "Feiran, wealth and honor cannot corrupt, and poverty and hardship cannot sway you. How old is the old man of the Jiang family? You might as well go find President Jiang."

"What nonsense are you thinking? I wanted to become his grandfather's apprentice before, but I was rejected. Then I accidentally saved President Jiang, and Grandpa Jiang asked me to learn the things his family left behind. President Jiang is just giving them to me."

The library was guarded, and only Jiang Hezhou could lead people in.

Now, everyone looked confused.

"What did you learn from Grandpa Jiang?"

"Ghost hunting and the like."

"...Similar to shamanistic rituals?"

"almost."

Everyone wore expressions that were hard to describe, but seeing Yao Feiran's serious demeanor, they thought to themselves that Grandpa Jiang was quite superstitious, and it was surprising that Yao Feiran had come up with this way to approach him.

In the end, everyone still felt that Yao Feiran deliberately used this method to get close to Jiang Hezhou and start scheming.

"I heard that President Jiang is not very old, and quite handsome. I also heard that he looks like a member of a boy band. He doesn't have any scandals. Fei Ran has good taste, much better than that Wang Yiyu."

"Hehe, my ex-boyfriend got stolen away by a rich woman, but then he found a super domineering CEO. What a slap in the face."

"I've heard the Jiang family is incredibly wealthy. Fei Ran, if you become a rich wife, don't forget me when you're rich and powerful."

"I only need one spot to join the Jiang family's internal network."

Yao Feiran: .....What exactly are they imagining?

The next day, while Yao Feiran was getting food in the cafeteria, she unexpectedly saw Wang Yiyu chasing after Chen Xi.

"Xixi, why have you been ignoring me lately? Even if we're going to break up, you should at least give me a reason."

"I just don't like you anymore, so please stop bothering me, okay?" Chen Xi looked at him impatiently. "What do you have that I'm still attached to? Every time we go out, you pay for my money, and now you're still shamelessly clinging to me."

"Why should couples be so calculating about gains and losses? I admit I spend a lot of your money, but that's because I'm still a student. Once I graduate and find a job, I'll definitely treat you better."

"Hmph, what good is being nice to me? We'll see when you're old enough to talk about it."

Chen Xi revealed a strange expression, a half-smile.

Wang Yiyu wanted to say something more, but Chen Xi had already left and saw Yao Feiran walking over.

Yao Feiran noticed that his forehead was getting darker and darker.

"Are you laughing at me? You think President Jiang would even be interested in you? You're just daydreaming."

Yao Feiran: "I noticed your forehead looks dark, like you're about to die. Why don't you ask a master to take a look?"

"There's something wrong with it."

Wang Yiyu was in a hurry to catch up with Chen Xi and ran over quickly.

Yao Feiran narrowed her eyes slightly. She wasn't lying; Wang Yiyu was indeed nearing the end.

However, he wouldn't believe her, and she stopped meddling in other people's business.

After some time, Yao Feiran was able to draw talismans. She posted the talismans on the forum to sell, but many people did not believe it and no one bought them.

But Grandpa Jiang called soon after: "Feiran, did you draw this exorcising talisman yourself?"

"Yes, I saw the drawing method at the old man's house before, and I bought some raw materials to try it out."

"Then bring it over so I can take a look."

This talisman requires a seamless completion, and a successful talisman will emit spiritual light. Most people fail at the last step, which even Grandpa Jiang finds hard to believe.

Yao Feiran went over with the talisman in her hand. Several elderly people from the Jiang family were drinking tea. She took out a pile of yellow paper from her bag and casually placed it on the table next to her.

The gaunt old man looked up and said, "What are you going to do with so many talismans? Is the young lady preparing to learn talismans? This stuff isn't that simple."

Grandpa Jiang's eyes were serious. He stood up and touched the talismans, only to find that they were all talismans for exorcising evil spirits and suppressing demons, and that they had already been successfully used.

"I'll buy all of these. Name your price."

"I don't know the prices either, so please just give me whatever you like, sir."

The gaunt old man also sensed something was wrong, and suddenly stood up and snatched it away.

"Huh, it's actually an exorcism talisman. This is one of the most difficult talismans in the Xuan rank. It's needed in many Feng Shui layouts. Jiang Xiaosheng, aren't you afraid of overeating if you take so many? Give me half."

"What? It's a talisman for exorcising evil spirits and suppressing demons. Let me see."

Yao Feiran: "..."

The group started fighting for no apparent reason. Since she had already given the prize to Grandpa Jiang, she naturally didn't intend to get involved. Moreover, she vaguely sensed that she was about to break through to the Xuan rank.

She just didn't expect that all the talismans on that website would sell out, and the website kept urging her to draw new ones.

Yao Feiran guessed it was the old men's doing; she hadn't expected talismans to be so popular. She had originally thought she wouldn't make money in a short time, but now she wasn't in a hurry.

When Jiang Hezhou drove her back, he kept exclaiming in amazement, "You're really amazing! The elders of the Zhao and Feng families and my old man even fought over your talismans."

"...Are talismans difficult?"

"I heard this talisman is very difficult to make. Although it's only a Xuan-rank talisman, it can suppress the Ghost King for a short time. Why did you choose to draw this one?"

"The first page of the complete book of talismans in your family library contains this talisman."

".......hehe."

Now Jiang Hezhou understands why the old man regretted not taking Yao Feiran as his apprentice.

"By the way, don't pick me up and drop me off anymore. We've gotten into a scandal."

Jiang Hezhou is quite popular online, and now everyone says he's pursuing a college student.

Jiang Hezhou shuddered. Thinking about it, it made sense. The old man did want to bring the two together, but he felt that if he married the other, he would never be able to turn his life around, so he decided not to go looking for trouble.

"Okay, next time I'll have my driver pick me up and drop me off."

After Yao Feiran got out of the car, he had just walked down to the dormitory building when he found Wang Yiyu squatting there, so he went over to him.

"Feiran, let's get back together."

Yao Feiran remained silent for a long time before saying, "No, your life is too short."

Wang Yiyu: "......"

Unexpectedly, Chen Xi was also there, her face full of sarcasm: "You think I'd be jealous if you got back together with your ex-girlfriend?"

Yao Feiran was surprised that more than half a month had passed and the two were still arguing. She didn't want to get involved, so she quickly slipped away. Before leaving, she said leisurely, "You should take my advice and find a master to take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xi's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Yao Feiran with a hint of murderous intent.

Wang Yiyu said irritably, "Feiran, I just broke up with you, there's no need to curse me to die young."

Yao Feiran did not miss this hint of killing intent either, and she thought to herself, "As expected."

Wang Yiyu's lifespan was cut short by Chen Xi.

He thought Chen Xi had genuinely loved him, but it turned out she just wanted to kill him. Wang Yiyu even dragged his ex-girlfriend into the mess in his attempt to get back together; this was karma.

In the middle of the night, Yao Feiran opened her eyes, pulled out the talisman and slapped it hard. The dazzling light, accompanied by a mournful ghostly wail, disappeared in just a few seconds.

"Feiran, stop watching TV so late at night and go to bed early. You have an early class tomorrow."

"it is good."

Yao Feiran silently threw the damaged talisman into the trash can.

The next day during a public lecture, Wu Yao was scrolling through her phone when she suddenly said, "Hey, Wang Yiyu fainted while running this morning and was supposedly admitted to the ICU."

Liu Ying asked curiously, "Is it that serious? Did you stay up late last night?"

"I don't know, it wasn't mentioned in the group chat."

"They're classmates, shouldn't we go check on them?"

Although people look down on Wang Yiyu, they can't help but feel worried when they see him enter the ICU, after all, he was a living person before.

Yao Feiran said, "I won't go, I have something to do."

"it is good."
