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

Xia Ying went to find Zhao Zhiran and played the recording for him.

"Brother Zhiran, that woman doesn't like you at all; she's only after your money."

Zhao Zhirang's expression was one of disgust, but his face remained unchanged: "I told you not to look for her, Xia Ying. From now on, you'll have to figure out how to pay for your father's hospital bills yourself."

He had been tormented by illness since childhood. If his mother had been attentive, she would have noticed long ago. Just when there was hope for a cure, they started arguing over money. They had already said they would leave her some money for her retirement, but she was still not satisfied.

He built the company from scratch; his mother didn't help him at all and is now constantly hindering him.

He was on the verge of death; what use was money to him? He'd been tormented for decades and was mentally and physically exhausted. Once the curse was lifted, he wanted a different kind of life.

"Zhi Ran, are you really going to treat me like this because of this gold-digging woman?"

"Xia Ying, whatever you do, this is none of your business. I reminded you once before, and since you haven't changed, then I should take back everything I gave you."

Although Xia Ying and he were childhood sweethearts, she had to step aside when it came to his life and death. Yao Feiran and he didn't have much of a relationship. She wasn't short of money, and if he angered her, it might be too late to regret it.

He had also sought out the Grand Master back then, but the other party was arrogant and indifferent, and when he asked, he mentioned all of his assets, saying it wasn't enough.

Xia Ying's tone softened: "Zhi Ran, please don't treat me like this. We've known each other for so many years, didn't you say you would always protect me?"

"You can leave now. Assistant, you've gotten her pregnant with my body time and time again. Please ask her to leave."

The male assistant approached and said, "Ms. Xia, please leave, otherwise I'll have to call security."

When Xia Ying saw Zhao Zhiran turn and leave, she wanted to follow him, but was blocked by the male assistant.

Panic welled up in her heart, and she felt unwilling. Could it be that Zhi Ran loved Yao Fei Ran so much that it didn't matter if the other party only liked his money?

Having known each other for so long, he certainly wouldn't have the heart to do this to me.

Xia Ying opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't even see the other person's back anymore.

Zhao Zhirang made a phone call: "Ms. Yao, I'm sorry, Xia Ying has come to our door again."

"It's alright, what's the deal with the transfer?"

"I heard that you are already a Celestial Master of the Earth Rank. I believe that Miss Yao will definitely be able to solve the curse problem. I am transferring some assets to you in advance, hoping that you can help me alleviate the pain of this year's curse."

"OK."

Yao Feiran nodded. If there's money to be made, why not take it? She was planning to move to a new house, since Xia Ying had come to her door last time.

When they arranged to meet at the company again, Xia Ying appeared again, but this time she was blocked outside the door, her face covered in tears.

In the original storyline, Zhao Zhiran would not have treated Xia Ying this way.

In the original storyline, Xu Yueyin allowed Zhao Zhiran to act recklessly because she fell in love with him. Now, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Zhiran has no choice but to give up on Xia Yingluo.

Yao Feiran was in the car and drove straight in without Xia Ying noticing.

Led by her assistant, Yao Feiran went to Zhao Zhiran's office and gave her the agreement.

Xia Ying is looking for you downstairs.

"I know, she's too arrogant."

"She just wants to marry you. I've seen that Mr. Zhao doesn't object to her, so why don't you marry her?"

"I only see her as a younger sister; I have no romantic feelings for her."

Yao Feiran inwardly scoffed. Although he was only her sister, he was definitely aware of Xia Ying's feelings for him.

However, she had no interest in asking any further questions. After reading the agreement, she signed it without hesitation. The two agreed to help him alleviate the pain of the curse on the next full moon night, and then Yao Feiran left.

After that, Yao Feiran devoted herself to cultivation and searching for Xu Fenglan, while Xu Yueyin was also searching.

Jiang Hezhou called.

"Feiran, have you been to Yuren Mountain?"

"Yes, let's go find Xu Fenglan."

"A big shot from the Qingxuan Dao Alliance has gone missing over there. They suspect Xu Fenglan was behind it, and they'll probably come looking for you."

"Actually, you're just doubting me, aren't you?"

"...Yeah, be careful."

A few days later, there was a knock on the door. Yao Feiran opened the door and saw two serious-looking men staring at her.

"Hello, I am from the Qingxuan Dao Alliance. I am Liu Qing and he is Chen Mingtao."

"What's the matter?"

"I have something to ask about Master Wu."

Yao Feiran sensed an invisible arrogance emanating from the two, especially Chen Mingtao, whose imposing aura suggested he was also a Earth-rank Celestial Master.

As expected, the Qingxuan Dao Alliance is a place where talented people emerge in large numbers.

"Miss Yao, you visited Yuren Mountain some time ago."

"Yes, I heard that Xu Fenglan was there."

Liu Qing frowned deeply: "So, have you found her?"

"I saw her, but she was gone, and I couldn't catch up with her."

Chen Mingtao seemed somewhat excited: "Did you see any other Celestial Masters?"

"no."

"Impossible! Master Wu is a Heavenly Master; Xu Fenglan couldn't possibly kill him alone. It must be the two of you working together!"

Chen Mingtao's expression was full of anger: "You better not hide it from us, or we'll make sure you're not spared once we find out."

"I did not see the Taoist priest Wu you mentioned."

Yao Feiran remained calm, letting the other party gesticulate wildly. Liu Qing quickly pulled Chen Mingtao back, saying, "Brother Chen, calm down."

Chen Mingtao narrowed his eyes and suddenly took out a palm-sized bell covered with patterns. The bell rang strangely and long, carrying an eerie aura.

"Did Master Wu's death have anything to do with you?"

Yao Feiran's mind was shaken, and a ripple of emotion surged within her.

Her eyes were clear as she looked up and said sarcastically, "No, this is a society governed by law. Even if you are a member of the Qingxuan Dao Alliance, you still need evidence. Using magical artifacts without authorization is not the act of a gentleman."

The next second, the bell suddenly shattered, and with a bang, it fell down in pieces.

Both of them took a few steps back.

Chen Mingtao stared at Yao Feiran in shock. The Soul-Capturing Bell had actually been shattered. Just how strong was the other party's divine sense?

Although Liu Qing didn't understand, he didn't feel any sense of sternness and quickly said, "I'm sorry."

"Can you leave now?"

Chen Mingtao was seething with anger. Not only had he failed to extract any information, but he had also broken the Soul-Capturing Bell: "Fine, very well. I hope Miss Yao can remain so resolute."

"Get out!" Yao Feiran said coldly.

If she weren't afraid of damaging her own house, she would have thrown out a stack of explosive talismans long ago. What the hell is this? It actually uses a soul-capturing artifact on her. This kind of thing can easily damage the other person's consciousness.

For the Celestial Master, this was tantamount to a declaration of war.

Watching the two leave, Yao Feiran remained calm, guessing that after today, the Qingxuan Dao Alliance would blacklist her.

However, the Qingxuan Dao Alliance has always been ambiguous about her attitude. Despite her talent, no one has invited her to join, probably because of Xu Fenglan's matter. But she is happy to be relaxed.

When Xu Yueyin returned that evening, she asked seriously, "Did the people from the Qingxuan Dao Alliance come over tonight?"

"yes."

"You need to be careful. There are many corrupt people inside them. My grandfather died because of the selfishness of those in power, which is why my grandmother defected."

"Those two even used the Soul-Capturing Bell on me, but I managed to break it."

"What?! This is outrageous!" Xu Yueyin's expression changed slightly. "What is the Qingxuan Dao Alliance? What right do they have to use a soul-capturing technique on you!"

"It's alright, there's no harm in being angry now."

Yao Feiran remained calm, but Xu Yueyin suddenly remembered something: "Hey, I don't know where my mom found a matchmaker, but she found me a blind date and insists that I go back home for the New Year."

"..."

To be honest, Yao Feiran's parents have been urging her to get married, but Yao Feiran has always said that she is against marriage and has sent a lot of money to them, so they don't dare to urge her anymore.

Yao Feiran and Xu Yueyin still live together, and they go back together for holidays.

Let's go back together for the Chinese New Year.

Speaking of which, Xu Yueyin didn't fall in love with Zhao Zhiran, and I wonder if that ruined her chances of finding a partner.

"If Zhao Zhirang were to break the curse, what would you think of him?"

Xu Yueyin's expression was indifferent: "Not so much. I had contact with him a few times later on regarding work issues, and I found out that he had a female assistant named Xia Ying. He clearly knew that she liked him, but he didn't reject her, and they haven't confirmed their relationship in all these years."

Yao Feiran wholeheartedly agreed. Couldn't Zhao Zhiran see that Xia Ying liked him? He already knew, and he had been keeping her hanging on without rejecting her.

Yao Feiran did not mention this matter again.

When the two returned home for the New Year, Yao's mother complained again, "Look, Yueyin is willing to go on blind dates, and you still say you don't want to get married."

"Mom, if you're bored, go on a trip. Didn't I already send you money?"

Yao's mother said irritably, "What would I need so much money for? It's all for you to save. You work too hard outside."

"I have plenty of my own, so don't keep them for yourselves."

Yao Feiran was speechless, but they only said it once and then stopped.

After the Lunar New Year, the two returned to Yuancheng. Xu Yueyin's blind date fell through, and Yao Feiran gossiped, "How did it go?"

Xu Yueyin calmly said, "The other party seems to be a civil servant from Yuancheng, and he looks down on my single-parent family."

"......All right."

Just then, a phone call came in; it was from Jiang Hezhou.

"Feiran, something terrible has happened! Bei County has fallen. It's an existence that surpasses even the Ghost King. The entire county has been turned into a ghost realm. The survivors who escaped say they saw Xu Fenglan."

"What?"

Yao Feiran's expression changed instantly, and Xu Yueyin also heard the phone ringing and stopped in her tracks.

"I'm going back to Yuancheng to find you."

Seeing that Yao Feiran had hung up the phone, Xu Yueyin asked anxiously, "What exactly happened?"

"It's possible that the ghost in your grandma's jar has escaped and has surpassed the existence of the Ghost King. Something bad has happened in Bei County."

Xu Yueyin's legs went weak, and Yao Feiran also turned on her phone. Beixian County had fallen, and she wondered if the internet would be in an uproar.

She tried to find information about Bei County, but found that the search results showed an error.

As expected, the news has been blocked.

However, with so many people, it was impossible to block them; she indeed saw related comments under various videos.

"Something's fishy! We can't get into Bei County anymore, and we can't contact anyone. Please spread the word."

"Why are you blocking news from Bei County? We just want to know the truth: where did the people inside go?"

"Are there really ghosts in this world? My brother is from Bei County, and his last message to me was terrifying."

........

Yao Feiran refreshed the page again, and the comments started disappearing again.

The two hurriedly arrived in Yuancheng. Beixian County is located near Yuren Mountain, and its residence is in a remote area, so there are not many permanent residents.

Yao Feiran and Xu Yueyin both went to the Jiang family.

Grandpa Jiang was also there, and his expression was more solemn than ever before.

"A fixed ghost realm has formed there, and now it's completely sealed off from anyone entering. Those inside are probably in grave danger. You'll likely be investigated, and the culprit behind this is Xu Fenglan."

"A fixed ghost domain? How can a vengeful ghost be fixed in one place?"

"It seems that some kind of ritual failed, and the vengeful ghost is trapped in Bei County. Fortunately, it is trapped, otherwise the casualties would be even more severe. Now all the Grand Celestial Masters in the country have gone there, and two of them have already lost contact."

When the two left the Jiang family, Yao Feiran saw that Xu Yueyin looked gloomy and disappointed.

"Grandma... she killed too many people."

"She probably wanted to do something, but she failed. There's no use in us being anxious now. Let's think of something when we're stronger."

......

After returning home, Yao Feiran asked Niming, "What will happen if I go in?"

The Reversal of Fate Bead said, "Your physical body will be destroyed. There's no use in going in now. It's been so long; there are no survivors inside."

"...Was this part in the original plot? I don't remember this happening in my previous memories."

"Xu Yueyin is a favorite of Heaven, requiring too much energy. Based on speculation about her early fate, the Bei County incident was originally supposed to happen a few years later. You have dealt with a lot of vengeful ghosts in recent years, which should have broken some kind of balance, creating a butterfly effect."

Just as Yao Feiran was about to ask something, people from the Paranormal Bureau arrived at her door.

"Miss Yao, Miss Xu, you need to come with me."

"it is good."

After the two arrived at the Paranormal Bureau, the acquaintances they had met were no longer there. They were probably people transferred from the higher-level Paranormal Bureau to interrogate Yao Feiran and Xu Yueyin.

Yao Feiran saw that there were instruments on the other side, probably a lie detector or something.

As expected, they resorted to technological means.

Before the interrogation, Yao Feiran was ignored for several hours, probably to put her under mental pressure and make it easier to extract information from her.

"Reversal of Fate Pearl, read me a novel."

The Fate-Defying Bead: "......."

Time passed quickly as she listened to the story. During the interrogation, they ultimately failed to extract any information. Yao Feiran had indeed only met Xu Fenglan once, and Xu Fenglan had not told her anything.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Yao, but the matter in Bei County is quite serious, so we have to interrogate you. You have already been cleared of suspicion."

"Has Xu Fenglan still not been found?"

"no."

When Yao Feiran went out, Xu Yueyin was already waiting on the side. Her eyes were slightly red, probably because she felt guilty and sad about what Xu Fenglan had done.

After this incident, Xu Yueyin worked even harder in her cultivation. Two years passed in the blink of an eye. Bei County was still under lockdown, and Yao Feiran was on the verge of a breakthrough.
