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

The box was taken away, but Yao Feiran didn't care. It just so happened that it was Grandpa Jiang's birthday, and Jiang Hezhou invited her over.

"The old man doesn't throw any kind of banquet, just a family meal. Since you happen to be here on the weekend, why don't you come along?"

The Jiang family treated her quite well, so Yao Feiran didn't refuse. It would be a good opportunity to check if there was anything cursed, and maybe she wouldn't have to go to Shuimu Kingdom.

Yao Feiran went to the Jiang family's house, but received a phone call on the way.

"Little girl, is your name Yao Feiran?"

"Who are you?"

"I am Zhao Zhirang's mother. I heard he gave you a box."

"Didn't you have someone take it?"

"Don't pretend you don't know. The box is empty. Where did the things go? You should know that this is the Zhao family's heirloom. The Zhao family values ​​marriage between equals, and you don't meet my standards for a wife."

"Contact Zhao Zhirang, and he will explain."

"Do you think that by using Zhao Zhiran, he will listen to you? His father and grandfather died early, and I raised him single-handedly—"

Yao Feiran hung up the phone immediately and called Zhao Zhiran. Zhao Zhiran's voice was a little hoarse: "What's wrong?"

"Your mom called and said the things in the box are missing, and she wants me to hand them over."

"You don't need to worry about her."

Yao Feiran could hear the pain in Zhao Zhiran's voice; he was breathing heavily as he spoke.

Suddenly I remembered that these days all have been full moons, so I guess he suffered all night.

"Okay, you should get some rest."

Yao Feiran hung up the phone, and Jiang Hezhou asked curiously, "What did Zhao Zhiran give you? His mother said it was for her future daughter-in-law? You're not dating him, are you?"

"You're quite the gossip." Yao Feiran glanced at him. "I made a deal with Zhao Zhiran. That thing was a trade item; it belongs to the Celestial Master's magical artifact. His mother doesn't know about it."

"So that's how it is. His mother is quite eccentric. Originally, the Zhao family was of ordinary background, and all the sons in the family were only born in one generation, and they all died young. Zhao Zhirang is said to have started from scratch. I heard that his mother is difficult to get along with and has a strong desire to control Zhao Zhirang. Anyone who becomes her daughter-in-law must have extraordinary patience."

As they spoke, Jiang Hezhou's car arrived at the old house. Many members of the Jiang family had already arrived. When they saw Yao Feiran coming over, everyone was quite friendly, but what they were thinking in their hearts was anyone's guess.

"Feiran, we're all family, no need to be so polite."

Yao Feiran put the gifts she brought aside. The Jiang family had been Taoist masters for generations. This skill required talent, so apart from the old man, there were few people who could handle it.

The main branch only has Jiang Hezhou, but he can't learn the Celestial Master skill. It is said that a cousin of the branch, Jiang Cheng, will be the focus of his training.

Grandpa Jiang pointed to a man in his twenties and said, "Feiran, this is Hezhou's cousin, Jiang Cheng, who is also my brother's grandson. He is now a Yellow Rank Celestial Master. If he has any questions in the future, he may have to ask you for advice. I can only ask you for help."

"You're too kind, sir. I'm very grateful for your help these past few days."

"Haha, it's a great regret that I couldn't take you as my apprentice back then. Now I'd like to have another granddaughter. You don't mind, do you?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Yao Feiran did not refuse. Back then, the Jiang family had allowed her to enter their library for free and provided materials for free, which was also an investment in her. So she could be considered to be on the Jiang family's side.

Jiang Cheng felt somewhat dissatisfied. A woman younger than him was already a Xuan-rank Celestial Master. He wondered how much resources his great-grandfather had given her, since these were originally his own.

Yao Feiran noticed Jiang Cheng's displeasure and guessed that he regarded the Jiang family as his own, so he couldn't stand that an outsider could use the Jiang family's resources.

After finishing her meal, Yao Feiran played chess with the old man for half a day. After the game, she went to the library to look through the documents.

Jiang Cheng was also there, sporting an innocent smile: "Miss Yao, my great-grandfather values ​​you highly. Even though you're not of the same surname, he's allowed you to access the Jiang family's collection of books for free and provides resources for you to learn talismans. Are you my cousin's fiancée?"

"No, Jiang Hezhou and I are just friends."

Jiang Cheng looked doubtful and continued, "Speaking of which, my cousin doesn't have the aptitude for cultivation, so he probably won't be able to inherit anything from the Jiang family in the future. The Jiang family's ancestral precepts state that the future successor must be a Celestial Master."

Yao Feiran asked indifferently, "What are you trying to say?"

"Now that my great-grandfather has taken me in, I will inherit the Jiang family business. However, I'm currently looking for a girlfriend. Why don't you come with me?"

"You don't like Jiang Hezhou? You want to humiliate him like this? How childish."

Yao Feiran glanced at him expressionlessly, then turned back to reading.

Does Jiang Cheng think she's having an affair with Jiang Hezhou and wants to steal her away to spite Jiang Hezhou? Jiang Hezhou has no cultivation aptitude, so why is he so hated?

Jiang Cheng's face darkened. If Yao Feiran were his girlfriend, it would be fine, as it would be keeping the good stuff in the family. But why should an outsider take up the Jiang family's resources?

Yao Feiran ignored him, and he didn't care what he did openly now, so he could only leave in a huff.

"You're out of your mind."

Yao Feiran said something and continued to look through the information. She happened to see a curse similar to Zhao Hezhou's. To remove the curse, the source needed to be found.

The source of Zhao Zhirang's removal of the curse lies in the Shuimu Kingdom, supposedly due to an immortal black cat, which is considered the mother source of the curse.

There were indeed ways to alleviate the pain, and Yao Feiran, with her photographic memory, quickly memorized them.

Since Zhao Zhiran had given her all his wealth to save her life, Yao Feiran decided to ease his pain.

When the person told the housekeeper what they needed and came to pick it up the next day, the housekeeper looked embarrassed.

"Miss Yao, the special cinnabar, yellow paper, and Sanqing incense you requested have been taken by Young Master Cheng."

"Uncle Zhou, the old man must have said that he would provide whatever I need unconditionally. In your opinion, Jiang Cheng's status is already comparable to that of the old man."

Zhou Xingqiang looked somewhat annoyed: "Miss Yao, Young Master Cheng is the young master of the Jiang family, so he naturally has priority."

"I see."

Yao Feiran didn't argue and turned to leave.

Not complain? Impossible. She had received favors from the Jiang family, which meant she was on their side and would definitely help them if they were in trouble in the future. But she didn't want to swallow her anger at being targeted for no reason.

When the old man saw Yao Feiran coming over, he asked, "Feiran, what's wrong?"

"Grandpa, I gave Uncle Zhou a list yesterday. When he came to pick it up today, he said that Jiang Cheng had taken it and that Jiang Cheng had priority."

Jiang Cheng's face flushed red, probably because she didn't expect the other party to complain so directly. Wasn't she afraid that the old man would have a bad impression of her?

"Miss Yao, how could Uncle Zhou say that? You must have misheard."

"So you mean I'm being unreasonable?"

Yao Feiran immediately took out a recording pen and played her previous conversation with Zhou Xing. Jiang Cheng's face turned green.

There's nothing Old Master Jiang doesn't understand. Even if Yao Feiran hadn't produced the recording pen, he would still believe her. Zhou Xing was lucky enough to become a Yellow-Rank Celestial Master, but he had no idea how strong Yao Feiran's talent was, yet he still did something so disrespectful.
