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

I followed Zhao Zhirang to a basement in the old house. It was pitch black down there, and there were many sealed things inside.

Zhao Zhirang, worried that Yao Feiran might be frightened, said, "This seal was set up to prevent the contents from being leaked, so you don't need to worry."

Yao Feiran smiled calmly: "I'm not worried. Mr. Zhao is a gentleman."

The Thunderstorm Talisman is still in the space, along with several muskets. I told Jiang Hezhou beforehand, so there's nothing to worry about.

Zhao Zhirang breathed a sigh of relief and took out a box from the safe in the basement. The box was engraved with sealing patterns. He tore open the white paper and found a sword that shone with golden light inside.

"This sword has been passed down through my family. The blade is made of thousand-year-old peach wood struck by lightning. It is called the Evil-Slaying Sword. However, this sword cannot be easily exposed to the world, as its aura can be easily detected by the Grand Celestial Master."

Yao Feiran also learned some basic information. This sword is famous in history and is a temptation that even the Grand Celestial Master could not resist. However, this item alone could not arouse her interest.

"I am willing to transfer all my property and stocks to Miss Yao, as long as Miss Yao is willing to lift my curse. I am very sorry for my previous offense. As long as Miss Yao is willing to try, regardless of success or failure, these rewards will remain unchanged when I turn forty."

Yao Feiran stared at him for a long time; this could be considered a desperate gamble.

"You trust me that much? You could ask the Grand Celestial Master to handle these rewards."

"I don't believe in the Grand Celestial Master, but I believe in Miss Yao's character. If it weren't for Miss Yao providing the talisman free of charge during the high-speed train incident, there might not have been any survivors."

"You know, while I wouldn't mind doing a good deed, it's all based on my own life, and I won't take that risk now."

"Then let's wait until Miss Yao is absolutely certain before making a move."

Seeing the weariness between his brows, Yao Feiran took the sword and the box without hesitation.

"If Miss Yao is not strong enough to keep this sword, she should not reveal herself or open this box for the time being."

"OK."

After signing the agreement, Yao Feiran immediately sent the sword from her bag into her spatial storage, leaving only an empty box. When she returned to school, Xu Yueyin asked, "Why did you go out with President Zhao?"

"He wants me to lift the curse for him, and he's willing to give up everything he owns in exchange."

"Is there some kind of scam? And even if it's all your savings, you can't risk it."

"Don't worry, unless I have the ability myself, there's no need to take risks." Yao Feiran hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What's your opinion of Zhao Zhiran?"

"I don't have any opinion, what's wrong?" Xu Yueyin blinked. "I don't like people who play with feelings, but if you like it, I won't say anything."

Yao Feiran shuddered; she would never have anything going on with Zhao Zhiran.

"It's impossible between us."

"I thought you felt sorry for him, but with such high benefits offered, I believe you can definitely become the nation's top strategist. However, if you go to the Kingdom of Shuimu, I will go with you."

Xu Yueyin smiled slightly. Because of Xu Fenglan's disappearance, Xu Yueyin's brows were furrowed with worry. Now, whenever there was any clue, the two of them would go and check it out together.

"...You really think highly of me, First Master. By the way, I'm applying for off-campus accommodation in a while. Will you come with me?"

Xu Yueyin nodded: "Okay."

With the acquisition of magical artifacts and the growing fame, Yao Feiran began receiving invitations to help resolve ghostly encounters. Xu Yueyin was also diligently cultivating her skills, all because of Xu Fenglan's situation.

Yao Feiran always felt that Xu Fenglan's ghost was a significant hidden danger. Because Xu Yueyin was the female lead's destiny, she needed too much energy. When she calculated the fate line last time, she did not fully calculate it. She guessed that dealing with this ghost later would also be related to Xu Yueyin.

When Yao Feiran was carrying her luggage out, she suddenly realized that the box containing the Demon-Slaying Sword was missing from her bag.

Her expression hardened slightly.

"Yaoyao, has anyone else come into the dorm?"

"Lin Tan seems to have come looking for you, but I was taking a shower in the bathroom and told him you weren't there."

Tan Lin? This is someone unexpected. This person caused the original owner's death. Could it be that she took the sealing box this time? She's not a Taoist priest, so why would she take this thing?

Since the sword was stored in her spatial storage, she casually placed the box on the upper bunk of her bed.

Yao Feiran did not contact Tan Lin. There was no surveillance in this place, and it looked like just a broken wooden box. The other party would never admit it.

Yao Feiran called Zhao Zhiran.

"My sealed box was stolen?"

"What?"

Zhao Zhirang's expression changed drastically, and Yao Feiran continued, "I've already hidden the sword inside."

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened?"

"I want to ask you what happened. I took the box from you, and then it was stolen. Most people wouldn't think this thing is valuable."

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Zhao Zhirang hung up the phone, his expression grim. Just then, his mother called.

"Mom, that box was stolen. Did you take it?"

"How dare you say that? Your grandfather said that thing can only be passed down to your future children. You're giving it to that woman? Do you think you can marry her? You've only known each other for a short time. And what about Xia Ying?"

"I didn't intend to marry her, how could you make such a decision on your own?"

Zhao Zhirang frowned. Because her father was afraid that the curse would spread, he had not told her mother about it, and she had no idea what the curse was.

"Anyway, I had someone retrieve that thing. I couldn't contact the other party before. This belongs to the Zhao family, and an ordinary girl isn't qualified to own it."

Zhao Zhirang angrily hung up the phone.

Yao Feiran also received a call from Lin Tan: "President Zhao's mother said that thing was a gift from her family to her future grandson, so she wanted to take it back, but I took it first since you weren't here."

"......"

So that's the reason. That thing was probably a family heirloom, but it's been empty for a long time. What's the use of an empty box?

Yao Feiran hung up the phone immediately, and Zhao Zhiran called back quickly: "I'm sorry, my mother did this."

"Do you know Lin Tan?"

"I don't know him."

"That must be Xia Ying's friend. Your mother must have been informed by Xia Ying. Don't let them come to me next time."

Hearing Yao Feiran's cold tone, Zhao Zhiran felt a lump in his throat. He was a promising young man, and most people treated him with great courtesy or even flattery. Only Yao Feiran was completely rude to him.
