Quick Transmigration: After the Backup Love Awakens, He Sacrifices the Official Partner to the Heave

Upon seeing that the visitor was Venerable Hongxi, Jiang Zui nodded politely and said, "Venerable One, this matter is a long story."

"Then get to the point," Venerable Hongxi said seriously, not bothering with Jiang Zui's banter, as if he absolutely needed to know the truth.

In fact, after Jiang Huai's death, Venerable Hongxi originally wanted to take Jiang Zui with him, but Jiang Zui was obsessed with Yu Miao and wanted to stay in Lingyun Sect.

When Venerable Hongxi's attempts to persuade him failed, he allowed him to stay at Lingyun Sect.

He himself would visit Lingyun Sect whenever he had free time.

After saying that, Jiang gave the other person a forced, bitter smile, "Previously, Senior Brother was seriously injured and wanted... wanted to use my Spirit Nourishing Jade to heal his injuries..."

"Venerable One, you know how important the Spirit-Nourishing Jade is to me. I...I didn't give it to you...My master and fellow disciples scolded me for being heartless and punished me by sending me to the Demon Soul Cave. If it weren't for Ah Yin, I'm afraid I would have lost my life in the Demon Soul Cave long ago."

Despite Jiang Zui's brief description, Venerable Hongxi discerned the perilous nature of the situation.

Because Jiang Zui deliberately made sure that others could hear what he said, everyone present heard it.

Upon seeing this, Yu Zhengming hurriedly walked up to Venerable Hongxi and carefully explained, "Venerable Hongxi, this disciple was ignorant and please forgive me."

Then, turning to Jiang Zui, he shouted, "Qi An, aren't you going back yet?"

Jiang Zui used to respect Yu Zhengming very much because Yu Zhengming was Yu Miao's father and also his mentor.

But now that Jiang Zui has a different soul, he doesn't care who you are.

Upon hearing Yu Zhengming's words, Jiang Zui remained motionless and silent, as if he had not even seen Yu Zhengming.

For a moment, Yu Zhengming's face froze.

And everyone sensed a hint of scheming in this strange atmosphere.

Seeing her father being harassed by Jiang Zui, Yu Miao was somewhat dissatisfied. Leaving Meng Zhe behind, she strode up to Jiang Zui and questioned, "Second Senior Brother, Father is your master, is this how you treat him?"

"And since you're not dead, why don't you come back?"

Yu Miao looked arrogant, her eyes filled with resentment as she gazed at Jiang Zui.

Jiang Zui scoffed inwardly, thinking to himself: Does he still think he's the same Jiang Zui he used to be, someone you can manipulate and order around at will?

"Come back? Come back and get locked up again?" Jiang Zui scoffed and asked.

"Jiang Zui Ni..."

Jiang Zui had never spoken to him in this tone before, and Yu Miao felt a slight sense of panic.

Having been spoiled by Jiang Zui in the past, she immediately felt unbalanced when she heard that the other party was no longer the same as before.

Meng Zhe followed closely behind, feigning concern, saying, "Second Junior Brother, Miao Miao was heartbroken after learning of your death; her eyes are swollen from crying. How can you speak to her like that?"

"Hmph! My death...wasn't it all your doing?"

"If you truly wanted me to live, you wouldn't have imprisoned me in the Demon Soul Cave, nor would you have stolen my Spirit-Nourishing Jade."

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Zhe and the other two tensed up instantly.

"Qi An, I know you're angry, but do you think what you did was right?" Yu Zhengming asked, trying to appear calm.

He finally understood that Jiang Zui had come today probably to cause trouble.

But who is he?

How could the dignified sect master of Lingyun Sect be manipulated by his own disciple?

To be precise, Yu Zhengming was only Jiang Zui's nominal mentor.

Jiang Zui was unable to cultivate at first because he didn't have a Spirit Jade. Later, Jiang Huai found one for him, which enabled Jiang Zui to cultivate.

Later, after Jiang Huai's death, Jiang Zui formally became Yu Zhengming's disciple. However, Yu Zhengming used the excuse that Jiang Zui's cultivation was difficult to achieve and refused to teach him any techniques.

"As a disciple of the Lingyun Sect, shouldn't you be concerned about your senior brother's serious injuries?"

"When facing your fellow disciples, you not only lacked compassion but also acted aggressively. As your master, was I wrong to punish you by making you stand facing the wall in repentance?"

Yu Zhengming's few simple words reversed public opinion.

Those who heard Yu Zhengming's words thought he was a kind master who wanted to guide his rebellious disciple back to the right path and was trying to persuade him with all his heart.

"Alas, Sect Leader Yu is truly unlucky to have encountered such a land."

"Didn't you see? Sect Master Yu was clearly doing this for his disciple's own good, but his disciple showed no respect for his master whatsoever."

If I had a disciple like that, I would want to expel him from the sect. How could I possibly give him such earnest advice like Sect Leader Yu did?

"Sect Master Yu has really done something terrible to have such a disciple."

"As a disciple, you disregard the bonds of kinship, and even act petty and backstabbing because of Master's punishment. You faked your death and resurrected yourself to appear at today's marriage ceremony. Could it be that you had a conspiracy all along?"

"Now that you mention it, I also have a feeling that Sect Leader Yu's disciple has ill intentions."

Venerable Hongxi frowned, remaining skeptical of Yu Zhengming's words.

Because he knew what kind of person Jiang Zui was, and Jiang Zui would never do such a thing.

Moreover, Yu Zhengming actually wanted Jiang Zui's Spirit-Nourishing Jade...

Doesn't he know how important the Spirit-Nourishing Jade is to Jiang Zui?

And that Demon Soul Cave...

Everyone in the cultivation world knows what kind of place that is.

Standing next to Jiang Zui, Ji Qiyin looked up at Jiang Zui with concern, then glared fiercely at Yu Zhengming.

Is this Jiang Zui's master?

With such a sharp and sarcastic demeanor, she actually turned around and bit back.

Then he turned his head and focused his gaze on Yu Miao, who was standing next to Yu Zhengming. After looking her over for a moment, he thought to himself: Is this the person Jiang Zui used to like?

She's not as good-looking as him!

He's not even as tall as her!

I'm even less likely to beat him!

Ji Xiyin secretly compared Yu Miao to himself.

Finally, a conclusion is drawn.

He is better than Yu Miao.

Then, he nodded quietly, relieved.

After listening to Yu Zhengming's high-sounding words, Jiang Zui smiled sarcastically and said in a sarcastic tone, "Master is so eloquent. This is the first time I've ever seen someone as eloquent as you. It's truly amazing."

"However, Master forgot one thing: the place for self-reflection is the Demon Soul Cave."

"Master is so heartless. What kind of place is the Demon Soul Cave? How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like me dare to step into it?"

Even someone like Master couldn't last seven days, yet I was punished to stay here for a full five years. Isn't this Master trying to send his disciple to my death?

Jiang Zui's words stunned everyone present.

The Demon Soul Cave!!!

The Demon Soul Cave is full of sealed demons and monsters, and ordinary people dare not approach it easily. Yu Zhengming actually locked his disciple up inside. How is this any different from killing the other party directly?

Looking back now, it seems there's more to Yu Zhengming's actions than meets the eye, which led to Jiang Zui's retaliation.

Venerable Hongxi asked urgently, "Sect Master Yu, is what Qi An said true?"

"Did you really imprison Qi An in the Demon Soul Cave?"

As he spoke, Venerable Hongxi stared sharply at Yu Zhengming, as if he would immediately make a move if Yu Zhengming made any attempt.
