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

"Really? That's karma, isn't it?"

Yao Feiran's expression didn't change much. She had accidentally seen a bad luck charm in the Jiang family's collection of books. Unlike a mind-controlling spell that affects the mind and can be detected by instruments, the bad luck charm is related to luck and ordinary people can't feel it.

Lin Tan came to the dormitory a few more times afterward, probably at Xia Ying's behest, wanting to find the family heirloom. He didn't find it, but he saw the necklace on Yao Feiran's bed and, driven by greed, took it.

Yao Feiran placed those things on top, using special items to carry bad luck; whoever picks them up will be plagued by bad luck.

Lin Tan's broken leg was just the beginning; she would probably lose half her life later. She had deliberately lured the original owner to the bar and then abandoned her. Although Yao Feiran didn't understand why Lin Tan hated her so much, she was still the culprit who caused the original owner's death.

Grandpa Jiang also learned about Jiang Cheng's situation: "Feiran, what an unfilial descendant of the family! To do such a thing, I am so sorry."

"It's alright, sir, this has nothing to do with you."

"You're already a Earth-Rank Celestial Master?" Old Master Jiang stared at Yao Feiran and asked nervously.

"Yes."

"I'm old. Young people these days are something else."

"I was just lucky. I'd appreciate it if you could help me find out about Grandma Xu Fenglan."

"Okay, now a lot of people are looking for her."

"Grandpa, can you tell me something about Grandma? Since she used to be a Grand Celestial Master, why did she stay in that small place?"

Grandpa Jiang sighed, "Xu Fenglan was a genius back then, and later became a Grand Celestial Master. She was originally a high-ranking member of the Qingxuan Dao Alliance. However, her husband perished together with the 'Splitter-Faced Woman,' and she broke ties with the Qingxuan Dao Alliance and left. As a result, her strength dropped drastically, and she is probably no longer at the Earth Rank."

"Afterwards, the Soul-Locking Jar of the Qingxuan Dao Alliance was stolen. Although Xu Fenglan was suspected of stealing it, there was no evidence. However, now that Xu Fenglan has disappeared and is hiding a ghost, it is estimated that she took the Soul-Locking Jar with her."

Yao Feiran recalled the inconspicuous jar in Xu Fenglan's house. If it weren't for the Heavenly Eye seeing the ghost inside, perhaps no one would have known what was inside.

Both she and Xu Yueyin betrayed Xu Fenglan.

If she hadn't revealed what was inside the jar, Xu Fenglan probably wouldn't have left; and if Xu Yueyin hadn't called the police, she wouldn't have been wanted by the entire internet.

"Grandpa, what does an existence surpassing the Ghost King look like?"

"Although the Grand Celestial Master has the power to kill beings that surpass the Ghost King, that is only when you can see their physical form. Most beings that surpass the Ghost King are unpredictable and it is impossible to find their true form. Moreover, they can easily cause casualties in an entire city."

"It happened a few times decades ago, and the news covered it up by saying it was an earthquake or poisoning. Back then, the internet wasn't as developed, so the news spread very slowly. If it happens again now, it probably won't be so easy to cover it up."

Moreover, fear can make vengeful spirits even stronger, creating a vicious cycle.

Yao Feiran recalled Xu Fenglan's Soul-Locking Jar, whose concentration was clearly higher than that of an ordinary Ghost King, and it was probably not far from surpassing the Ghost King.

Can she stop it?

Yao Feiran has no point in thinking about it now. She has just become an Earth-rank Celestial Master, and it will probably take her at least three years to break through to the Heaven-rank Celestial Master and become a Grand Celestial Master.

After chatting with Grandpa Jiang, Yao Feiran continued to immerse herself in the collection of books.

Before they knew it, Yao Feiran and Xu Yueyin graduated and both stayed in Yuancheng.

Upon learning that Lin Tan had to suspend her studies due to paralysis of her lower body, Yao Feiran made a special trip to the hospital to see her, only to find the ward empty.

When Lin Tan saw her coming, his expression froze for a moment, then turned cold.

"Why did you come here? To see me make a fool of myself?"

"Aren't you close to Xia Ying? Why haven't I seen her?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tan's face turned from black to white. Xia Ying had endless money because of Zhao Zhirang, and Lin Tan had only become Xia Ying's lackey for money. Why would Xia Ying care about the well-being of a lackey?

"What's it to you? You're only so smug because you've hooked up with President Zhao. Xia Ying said you'll never be President Zhao's girlfriend. He's just playing around with you because you're new to him."

"So Xia Ying can become Zhao Zhirang's girlfriend?"

Yao Feiran saw the diamond necklace around her neck and was speechless. The more you wear this thing, the more bad luck you'll have. Even now that she's in the hospital, she still wears this necklace. No wonder she became paralyzed so quickly.

She reached out and snatched the necklace from Lin Tan's neck. Lin Tan angrily shouted, "What are you doing?"

"Here's my receipt. Do you want me to call the police?"

Lin Tan stopped grabbing it, staring at Yao Feiran with an uncertain expression. Yao Feiran said in a low voice, "Besides, you'd better not bring this thing. Haven't you noticed how unlucky you've been lately? You're already paralyzed, and you might even lose your life if this continues."

Lin Tan's eyes widened, and he struggled desperately with his upper body: "Did you ruin me?"

"No, this necklace is a special gift I bought for you to repay you for getting me drunk and leaving me with a man last time."

After Yao Feiran finished speaking, she left and destroyed the evidence of the necklace once she got home.

At that moment, she received a call from Jiang Hezhou.

"Feiran, we found traces of Xu Fenglan in Yuren Mountain. We got this information from a villager, but we still need to verify whether it's true or not."

"Tell me your address."

Yao Feiran did not hesitate and went to Yuren Mountain after making preparations. The place was relatively remote with few households. Jiang Hezhou was also an employee whose hometown was here. He accidentally saw the back of an old woman in a photo sent from home. Because the Jiang family had also started searching in secret, they quickly recognized the old woman as Xu Fenglan.

On the bus, Yao Feiran closed her eyes to rest. The bus was an old-fashioned one, and an older woman was collecting cash. She recognized Yao Feiran as a stranger.

"Hey girl, do you live around here?"

"No, I'm here for tourism."

The woman looked surprised: "This place isn't good for tourism. The terrain is complicated and remote. The government used to talk about developing tourist attractions, but nothing came of it. You're just a young girl, you should go back."

"It's okay, I know people here."

"Oh, okay then. You know where to get off, right? Will your friend pick you up?"

"Yes."

The auntie felt relieved when she heard Yao Feiran say that. Yao Feiran had been on the bus for several hours when they finally arrived at an inconspicuous stop.

She got off the bus with her luggage on her back. At the bottom of a small road, there were many houses, but they looked like no one lived there for a long time. The only people who lived there were a few elderly people.

She opened the photos on her phone, along with directions from Jiang Hezhou's company employee, and walked for another half hour before finally arriving at a small, dilapidated house.

However, there was no one inside.

Yao Feiran touched the stove; it was still slightly warm, so she must not have been away for very long. She turned to leave, and at that moment, a middle-aged man appeared in front of her.

"Young lady, what is your relationship with Xu Fenglan?"

"She used to teach me the methods of the Celestial Master."

"So he's that madman's apprentice." The middle-aged man sneered, his eyes filled with barely concealed malice.

Yao Feiran frowned.
