After Being Reborn, I Refuse To Be The Holy Son Of The Sect Anymore

Chapter 143:

Li Fanyin had no idea what had happened between Xiao Yang and Jiang Ting, Qin Fēi, and the other disciples. However, she could sense that the relationship between Xiao Yang and his fellow disciples was not good.

Xiao Yang simply left on his own.

Except for Sòng Qiang and Lin Wangchuan, no one tried to stop him.

Even the Grand Elder, Cang Xiao, said nothing.

Li Fanyin watched Xiao Yang’s departing figure with a thoughtful expression but soon composed herself and personally received the group from Azure Sun Sword Sect.

That evening, she planned to host a banquet at the City Lord’s Mansion to entertain the Grand Elder and his group.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang arrived outside the best inn in Jiǔxiao City.

Having lived a second life, he was no longer willing to treat himself poorly.

He knew he deserved the best.

in his past life, his hesitation and failure to act decisively had led to his downfall and ultimate demise.

This time, he would never make the same mistakes again.

He raised his head to look at the four flamboyant words on the inn’s signboard: “Xiaoyao inn”

Xiaoyao inn was undeniably the finest in Jiǔxiao City, situated on the main street in front of the City Lord’s Mansion.

To establish an inn in such a prime location was no small feat, especially in Jiǔxiao City.

in his previous life, Xiao Yang had learned the truth behind Xiaoyao inn.

it was backed by Heavenly Desire Valley and Xiaoyao Palace, an influential force ranked just outside the top ten of the Northern Region.

The strength of Xiaoyao Palace was undeniable.

Moreover, the palace was unique—all of its disciples were stunningly beautiful women skilled in charm techniques and dual cultivation arts.

However, Xiaoyao Palace was not considered an evil sect.

its disciples did not actively seduce or deceive male disciples from major sects.

Everyone who entered Heavenly Desire Valley and joined Xiaoyao Palace did so willingly.

The sect emphasized mutual consent, and thus, the major powers of the Northern Region mostly turned a blind eye, merely advising their disciples to avoid interacting with the women of Xiaoyao Palace.

“Xiaoyao Holy Maiden…”

Xiao Yang thought of someone.

in his previous life, a peerless beauty had nearly taken his purity.

Thinking back, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

in his past life, his heart had only been for his junior sister, Jiang Ting.

Now, living again, he finally had the chance to appreciate the world beyond her.

in his previous life, he had rejected all outside temptations for Jiang Ting, staying pure and dedicated.

and what did he get in return?

Until the moment he died, he had remained a virgin.

a thousand-year-old virgin!

it was truly pathetic.

Now, thinking about it, sacrificing so much for Jiang Ting had been far from worth it.

“Guest, are you looking to stay?”

a crisp voice interrupted his thoughts.

Xiao Yang snapped back to reality.

“Yes!”

He replied instinctively while glancing up to see a female inn attendant.

at Xiaoyao inn, all the staff, including the manager, chefs, and attendants, were women.

and this female attendant was quite good-looking.

“Please, follow me!”

She led the way, and Xiao Yang stepped into the inn.

He glanced around the lobby and saw it was relatively quiet, then walked up to the counter.

The innkeeper, a charming woman, subtly exuded an alluring aura with every movement.

However, Xiao Yang paid her no mind.

Just this?

Trying to seduce me?

Not happening.

in his previous life, not even the Xiaoyao Holy Maiden could tempt him with her supreme charm techniques, let alone these minor tricks.

after paying the deposit and receiving his room key, Xiao Yang sat down in the lobby to have breakfast.

He kept it simple with spirit fruits, spirit tea, and some pastries.

Since Xiaoyao Palace catered only to cultivators, the food here was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Even a modest breakfast cost ten high-grade spirit stones.

The so-called spirit fruits and tea merely contained traces of spiritual energy, and the pastries, though delicate, contained none at all.

For most cultivators, such a breakfast was an extravagant luxury.

Lower-level cultivators wouldn’t even use high-grade spirit stones for their cultivation, let alone for food.

This explained why the inn had so few guests.

after finishing his meal, Xiao Yang decided to visit the market within Jiǔxiao City.

Since he was already here, he might as well hunt for treasures.

in his past life, someone had stumbled upon a priceless item in this very market.

This time, he wouldn’t let it slip away.

When he arrived at the stall, he noticed someone was already there.

Xiao Yang hurried over.

Fortunately, the treasure was still there.

Relieved, he asked, “Boss, how much for this item?”

instead of directly picking up the treasure, he deliberately picked up a spirit jade beside it.

The vendor, a cold-looking middle-aged man with a sword in his arms, responded indifferently.

“a simple protective jade talisman—ten low-grade spirit jades.”

“So expensive?”

Xiao Yang examined the jade with a skeptical expression.

“if you think it’s expensive, don’t buy it.”

The middle-aged vendor remained expressionless.

“if you don’t want it, i’ll take it!”

a pleasant voice chimed in.

Xiao Yang turned to see the speaker—

it’s her!

His eyes widened.

it was none other than the Xiaoyao Holy Maiden.

She was also dressed in men’s clothing.

Even in disguise, she exuded an irresistible allure.

For a moment, Xiao Yang was dazed.

The Xiaoyao Holy Maiden was breathtakingly beautiful, an ethereal blend of purity and allure.

She had the grace of an immortal but also a touch of devilish charm.

She was too unique.

This was the woman who almost took my purity in my past life!

“Hey, are you dazed? i’m talking to you!”

The cross-dressed Holy Maiden waved a hand in front of his face.

“Uh… if you want it, take it!”

Xiao Yang handed her the jade talisman.

at this moment, the Holy Maiden was still young and inexperienced—a far cry from the captivating, world-shaking beauty she would become in the future.

in his past life, he had no idea that it was she who had stumbled upon this treasure at the market.

The Holy Maiden took the jade talisman from his hand and paid ten low-grade spirit jades without hesitation.

as she was about to leave, her eyes fell upon the treasure.

“Boss, how much for this?”

Seeing this, Xiao Yang quickly grabbed the item first.
