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

Yu Zhengming pursed his lips, sweat gradually beading on his back, and said pretentiously, "So what?"

"Jiang Zui, as a disciple, has shown disrespect to his master and lack of brotherly love. I naturally have the right to deal with him."

He knew about the relationship between Venerable Hongxi and Jiang Zui, and he also knew that he had indeed made a mistake in the matter of the Demon Soul Cave.

But as the sect leader, how could he admit his mistake?

"But... surely it shouldn't warrant being imprisoned in the Demon Soul Cave?" Venerable Hongxi pressed, "There's another matter. Sect Master Yu said that Qi An doesn't value the bonds between fellow disciples?"

Sect Leader Yu, what did Qi An do wrong? Is it because he refused to hand over the Spirit-Nourishing Jade to his senior brother for treatment?

What kind of injury requires the healing of a Spirit Nourishing Jade?

Why don't you tell me, Sect Leader Yu?

Sect Leader Yu, you know how important the Spirit-Nourishing Jade is to Qi An, so why did you force Qi An to hand it over?

Qi An refused to hand it over and was forced to face the wall in the Demon Soul Cave for five years to reflect on his mistakes.

What is the logic behind this?

After Venerable Hongxi finished speaking, he explained to everyone present, "Everyone, Sect Master Yu's disciple is my former patient."

Although he has spiritual roots, he cannot cultivate like a normal person.

I searched high and low for a way to find the Spirit Nourishing Jade. Spirit Nourishing Jade is extremely rare. It was thanks to Jiang Zui's father, Jiang Huai, who went through countless hardships to find this Spirit Nourishing Jade.

Although it can restore him to normal cultivation like ordinary cultivators, his cultivation will be slightly more difficult than others.

However, this Spirit-Nourishing Jade has a flaw: without it, the recipient's cultivation will gradually weaken until they become a mortal.

Upon hearing this, everyone stared wide-eyed at Yu Zhengming.

"If I were in the position of a cultivator turning into a mortal, I wouldn't hand over the Spirit-Nourishing Jade either."

"I'm really curious, what illness does that person have?"

"Spirit-Nourishing Jade... I seem to remember it. It's said to be able to repair damaged spiritual roots and is extremely rare. Even if I had such a rare treasure, I wouldn't want it."

"I sense a conspiracy here. I have a suspicion that Sect Master Yu might want to nurture the spirit jade, but since the other party refused to give it to him, he's harboring malicious intentions..."

"Now that you mention it, I'm starting to suspect that the injured disciple might have been faking it, perhaps with the intention of getting Jiang Zui's Spirit-Nourishing Jade."

"The sect leader of the number one sect in the cultivation world actually coveted his own disciple's possessions. He is simply unworthy of being a master."

Yu Zhengming, Meng Zhe, and Yu Miao tensed up upon hearing the conversation.

Yu Miao bit her lip, looking at Jiang Zui's indifferent face, and felt increasingly bitter.

Meng Zhe secretly glanced at Yu Miao, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes.

Yu Zhengming gestured to Yu Miao with his eyes, then coughed loudly and said, "Qi An, tell me yourself, do you agree with my punishment?"

Yu Zhengming knew that Jiang Zui liked his son, and would definitely listen to Yu Miao and stop the matter.

The reason they appeared at this time is probably because they were unhappy with Meng Zhe and Yu Miao becoming a couple.

Yu Miao quickly chimed in, "Second Senior Brother, today is my marriage ceremony. Even if it's for my sake, please don't do this, okay?"

After saying that, Yu Miao looked at Jiang Zui with a pitiful expression, her eyes full of pleading.

Jiang Zui took in the exchange between Yu Miao and his son.

If it were the Jiang Zui of the past, seeing the look in Yu Miao's eyes now and not wanting to put Yu Miao in a difficult position, he would probably have compromised long ago.

Upon hearing Yu Miao's words, Jiang Zui feigned sudden realization and said, "Today is actually Junior Brother's marriage ceremony. Congratulations, Junior Brother, your wish has come true."

Yu Miao thought Jiang Zui would see her predicament and help her, but to her surprise, he did nothing. Her expression froze instantly.

"Second Senior Brother, are you... are you blaming me?" Yu Miao couldn't help but sob.

Yu Miao showed no regard for Meng Zhe's feelings. This action made Meng Zhe think that he had been cuckolded. He stared fiercely at Jiang Zui, clenching his fists tightly, as if Jiang Zui were his father's killer.

"Junior brother, what do you mean by this?" Jiang Zui asked calmly.

"Second Senior Brother, I know your feelings, but I only feel kinship with you as fellow disciples. Why are you so stubborn? Feelings cannot be forced."

Yu Miao's words portrayed Jiang Zui as someone who, unable to win the heart of another, went to sabotage someone else's wedding ceremony.

"I wondered what was going on. Turns out, he liked someone but couldn't get her, so he wanted to destroy her."

"This kind of person is so malicious. Just because someone doesn't like you, you want to frame them."

...

Jiang Zui did not refute Yu Miao, but slowly took Ji Qiyin's hand beside him.

Seeing that Ji Qiyin's whole body was tense, he couldn't help but feel a little teasing and tickled the other's palm.

Ji Qiyin was startled by Jiang Zui's actions and instinctively tried to escape from his grasp, but Jiang Zui held her tightly, as if prepared.

"Junior brother, you should be careful what you say. My Daoist partner is right here. If you say something that he misunderstands, I'll be in big trouble when I get home." Jiang Zui's casual, joking words cleared up the misunderstanding.

Yu Miao frowned as she watched the interaction between Jiang Zui and Ji Qiyin, and asked, "You...he...you two..."

"I was able to meet Ah Yin thanks to my junior brother."

I was almost eaten by a great demon in the Demon Soul Cave, but luckily Ah Yin saved me in time, thus saving me from being devoured by the monster.

Venerable Hongxi stepped forward anxiously and asked, "Qi An, are you sure you're alright?"

"Don't worry, Venerable One, not only am I unharmed, but I've also had an opportunity," Jiang Zui explained.

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhe and Yu Miao felt a sharp jolt in their hearts.

Everyone was curious when they heard Jiang Zui mention the word "opportunity".

Venerable Hongxi, living up to the trust placed in him, asked, "Opportunity?"

"That's right. After Ah Yin saved me, he took me away from the Demon Soul Cave. I... didn't want to go back to the Lingyun Sect, so we went to the mortal realm. Later, I heard that the ancient secret realm had opened, so I went to the secret realm and obtained the inheritance."

"Host, tell me, did you do this on purpose? Are you deliberately saying these things in front of the official couple? Aren't you afraid they'll be furious?"

The host is so lovable.

Knowing full well that what Meng Zhe truly desired was the inheritance, she deliberately told him at this crucial moment, "Oh, well, I've taken the inheritance."

If Yu Miao had known that Jiang Zui had obtained a great opportunity, she wouldn't have wanted to marry Meng Zhe.

As expected, Meng Zhe and Yu Miao were stunned after hearing Jiang Zui's words.

"What?!"

The two said in unison.

Meng Zhe shouted, "You received the inheritance? How could you possibly receive the inheritance? With your Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, how could that be possible?"

Jiang Zui raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Foundation Establishment stage? Who told you I'm at the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"You're not at the Foundation Establishment stage!?" Meng Zhe asked, though he was already certain in his heart.

"Of course, I am already at the Nascent Soul stage."

After receiving the inheritance, Jiang Zui had long since surpassed the Nascent Soul stage and reached the Integration stage. Furthermore, he had already reached the threshold of the Mahayana stage.

However, he didn't want to tell others his true level of skill.
