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

"Really?!" Xia Yuan's tone was filled with surprise and a hint of doubt.

He heard from the palace servants that his aunt was the most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms period, stunningly beautiful and capable of captivating a nation.

And his uncle Jiang Huai was an immortal, handsome and with the temperament of a banished immortal, how could he have given birth to such an ordinary person?

He expressed disbelief.

Jiang Zui saw the suspicion in Xia Yuan's eyes and said calmly, "When I'm out and about, I use magic to cover my face."

Hearing this, Xia Yuan was about 60-70% convinced.

His uncle-in-law, Jiang Huai, was a cultivator, so naturally his son should be too.

Unfortunately... he didn't have any spiritual roots.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuan felt a pang of disappointment.

For ordinary people to cultivate themselves is like ascending to heaven; those with spiritual roots are extremely rare.

"Cousin, what are you doing here?" Xia Yuan asked.

Cultivators have long lifespans, and their lifespan increases with the advancement of their cultivation realm.

But ordinary people only live for a few decades.

Therefore, cultivators rarely interact with mortals.

The reason Jiang Huai took Jiang Zui away after Xia Wei's death was probably because of this.

Jiang Zui smiled wryly and said, "This is a long story."

"If you have time, cousin, why don't you come to my Crown Prince's residence for a chat?"

"Since my cousin has extended such a warm invitation, I certainly won't refuse."

Seeing Jiang Zui talking to Xia Yuan, Ji Qiyin, who was standing to the side, became somewhat annoyed and asked, "Who is this...?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, Ah Yin, he's my cousin." Jiang Zui quickly explained, "Cousin, his name is Ji Qiyin, he's my... he's my..."

Jiang Zui was hesitating about how to introduce Ji Qiyin when the other party quickly said, "Greetings, cousin. I am Jiang Zui's Daoist partner."

Xia Yuan was not surprised by the relationship between the two. For cultivators, there are no restrictions on the choice of a Daoist partner, and it has nothing to do with the gender of the other person.

"Young Master Ji." Xia Yuan nodded to Ji Qiyin.

He did not address the other party as an immortal because the other party clearly did not want to reveal their identity and could only use the mortal term.

-

"Bang—"

"hateful!"

"I never expected that the number one sect in the cultivation world would resort to robbery. They simply don't deserve that title," Xia Ming said angrily, slamming his fist on the table.

"Qi An, what are your plans next?"

Although Xia Ming wanted Jiang Zui to stay in the Great Xia Kingdom, Jiang Zui was a cultivator who was free to come and go, so he couldn't interfere.

Jiang Zui took Ji Qiyin to the Crown Prince's residence and told him everything that had happened at the Lingyun Sect.

Xia Yuan was indignant and dragged Jiang Zui directly into the palace.

Then, he told Xia Ming about Jiang Zui.

Xia Ming did not doubt Jiang Zui's identity.

As soon as he entered the Crown Prince's residence, Jiang Zui revealed his true appearance.

Jiang Zui looks very similar to Xia Wei, and in addition, Jiang Zui has the Great Xia royal jade token left to him by Jiang Huai.

Furthermore, before his death, Jiang Huai had sought him out and entrusted Jiang Zui to him.

At the time, he didn't know the reason, and he never expected that it would be waiting for him here.

With the Lingyao Sect as its backer, the Great Xia Kingdom has no need to fear the Lingyun Sect. Even if the other party deliberately makes trouble, it has ways to deal with it.

Sects check and balance each other. Lingyun Sect is known as the number one sect for cultivating immortality because most of its disciples are sword cultivators with high martial prowess.

The other three sects are: the Spirit Medicine Sect, which focuses on medicine cultivation with poison as a secondary skill; the Spirit Beast Sect, which focuses on beast taming; and the Spirit Weapon Sect, which specializes in weapon crafting.

Moreover, the ancestors of the Great Xia Kingdom had made a deal with the Spirit Medicine Sect. If the Great Xia Kingdom were to face a crisis, the Spirit Medicine Sect would have to protect the Great Xia Kingdom's safety.

Jiang Zui bowed to Xia Ming and said, "Since Uncle brought it up, I won't hide it from you."

Actually, the reason I came here is because I wanted a spot in this Ancient Secret Realm.

In the eyes of my fellow disciples at Lingyun Sect, I was already dead. I had no choice but to ask my uncle for help.

Jiang Zui's brows furrowed with bitterness, and his sorrowful expression made Xia Ming agree without hesitation, "Lian Qing, don't worry, I'll reserve one of the spots for you."

He paused, then hesitated, "But... if you go to the secret realm, what if the people from the Lingyun Sect recognize you?"

In Xia Ming's mind, Jiang Zui's cultivation level was not comparable to that of the disciples of Lingyun Sect.

Otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this.

A cultivator with a higher cultivation level can see through a cultivator with a lower cultivation level.

Jiang Zui opened his mouth as if to answer, but Ji Qiyin interrupted him, saying, "Uncle, don't worry, with me here, I will definitely make sure nothing happens to Jiang Zui."

Ji Qiyin's behavior immediately caught Xia Ming's attention.

I had been talking to Jiang Zui the whole time and hadn't seen Ji Qiyin.

It was also strange that Ji Qiyin was so quiet, standing beside Jiang Zui without saying a word.

"Who is this...?" Xia Ming asked, his eyes filled with doubt.

"Uncle, he is my..." Jiang Zui was about to explain when Ji Qiyin interrupted him.

Ji Qiyin smiled and said, "Uncle, my name is Ji Qiyin, and I am Jiang Zui's Daoist partner."

"What?!"

"A Daoist partner?!"

Xia Ming was somewhat surprised and turned to look at Xia Yuan for help.

Seeing Xia Yuan nod silently, Xia Ming reluctantly accepted the answer.

Xia Ming knew that cultivators were not particular about formalities, but he did not expect his own nephew to be like this.

Xia Ming quickly understood.

Ji Qiyin is innocent and kind, without any guile, and only has eyes for Jiang Zui.

Such people are extremely rare in the eyes of the notoriously ruthless royal family.

"Uncle, Ah Yin is very capable, don't worry..."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Uncle, I'm already at the Nascent Soul stage."

"What?!"

"Nascent Soul stage?!"

Xia Yuan and Xia Ming said in unison.

The two men stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with astonishment.

He never expected that his nephew-cousin was actually a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

As far as they knew, in the entire cultivation world, although Nascent Soul stage cultivators could not be considered the top two, they were still a force to be reckoned with.

Jiang Zui, who is standing before us, is young but has already reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Jiang Zui nodded. "Uncle, cousin, you don't have to worry anymore, right?"

And so, the allocation of places was settled.

The four people originally selected by the Great Xia Kingdom were the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, the eldest son of the General's Mansion, and the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

These four were the initial candidates Xia Ming had in mind. The fourth and fifth princes were his sons, and since they possessed spiritual roots, they would naturally participate.

The eldest son of the General's Mansion was his designated candidate for future general. Although this eldest son had spiritual roots, he had four spiritual roots, making the path of cultivation difficult. He had no choice but to switch to body cultivation.

As for the prime minister's youngest son, it was a favor the prime minister requested, which he neither agreed to nor directly refused.

He hesitated. The prime minister's youngest son was already a disciple of a sect, and in principle, he should not be using the resources of the Great Xia Kingdom.

The prime minister had no choice but to plead desperately.

However, Jiang Zui's intervention forced one of the four to leave.

Xia Ming was somewhat relieved that the list had not yet been announced in public.

It wasn't difficult to choose among the four; Xia Ming directly kicked the youngest son of the Prime Minister's mansion out of the game.

You bastard, the disciples of the sect have absolutely nothing to do with the Great Xia Kingdom.

It's no wonder Xia Ming thought that way. Generally, people who have a destiny to become immortals rarely remember their relatives in the mortal world after entering a sect.

Moreover, this was the country they were in at the time.
