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

Chapter 147:

The morning market in Nine Heavens City was bustling with activity, and the crowd around Xiao Yang continued to grow. News of him acquiring an extraordinary treasure spread rapidly, drawing more people to the scene.

“The Divine Jade Profound Flame Immortal Furnace, which had disappeared for countless years, has appeared?”

Ning Shu, who had just entered the city with her entourage from the Heavenly Medical Sect, immediately rushed to the market upon hearing the news. As a practitioner of the medical arts, she naturally wanted to witness the legendary immortal furnace.

At this time, Nine Heavens City was filled with a mix of different people. Countless cultivators had poured into the city since it was the necessary passage to Yuanwu Immortal Domain. With the Grand Competition approaching, the majority of these outsiders were here to participate in the once-in-sixty-years event.

Of course, not everyone could enter Nine Heavens City, but even so, the city was packed to the brim.

Soon, Xiao Yang and his group were surrounded by layers of people. When they saw the furnace cradled in Ning Chengfeng’s hands, they were awestruck.

“It truly deserves to be an immortal treasure!”

By now, the crowd had also learned about the bet between Xiao Yang and Qin Fei. No one expected Xiao Yang to slap Qin Fei into a swollen mess right in front of everyone.

With both old and new grievances combined, Qin Fei was so enraged he nearly coughed up blood.

“You all just wanted to see me make a fool of myself, didn’t you?” Xiao Yang’s gaze swept over Qin Fei, Lei Renjie, and Zheng Fan.

“Senior Sister…” Qin Fei pretended to be frightened, shrinking behind Jiang Ting.

Lei Renjie and Zheng Fan, however, lowered their heads in embarrassment, not daring to meet Xiao Yang’s gaze.

“No matter what, as the eldest senior brother of the Azure Sun Sword Sect, you shouldn’t have hit your junior brother!” Jiang Ting shouted angrily at Xiao Yang.

She was truly infuriated by Xiao Yang’s repeated slaps on Qin Fei. It had provoked her protective instincts for Qin Fei.

At this moment, Jiang Ting had lost control of her emotions. Without considering right or wrong, she blindly scolded and blamed Xiao Yang.

In her eyes, no matter what happened, it was Xiao Yang’s fault.

How could her poor junior brother be in the wrong?

In the past life, Xiao Yang would have argued with Jiang Ting endlessly over Qin Fei.

But now, he didn’t want to argue anymore.

Because he no longer cared.

Seeing Xiao Yang’s calm demeanor, Jiang Ting felt a little strange.

Every time she defended Qin Fei before, Xiao Yang would always get angry and argue with her.

But now, he wasn’t arguing?

She found it unsettling.

Xiao Yang quietly watched Jiang Ting’s outburst.

At this moment, Jiang Ting looked like an angry, irrational woman.

In his previous life, he had been blinded by his feelings for Jiang Ting, ignoring all her flaws and seeing her as the perfect girl.

Back then, she was the girl he most wanted to marry.

But now, he no longer liked her.

Without the rose-tinted filter, he realized that the girl he once considered perfect was just ordinary.

“Do you even know why I hit him?” Xiao Yang asked coldly.

“No matter what mistake Junior Brother made, you shouldn’t have hit him!” Jiang Ting retorted, her face flushed with anger.

Xiao Yang initially wanted to explain, but seeing Jiang Ting blindly defend Qin Fei without any regard for the truth, he felt there was no point.

“I hit him. So what?” Xiao Yang said indifferently.

“Senior Sister, don’t ruin your relationship with Senior Brother because of me.” Qin Fei weakly said from behind her.

“Xiao Yang, you have no sense of camaraderie. You’re unworthy of being our eldest senior brother, and you’re even more unworthy of being the sect’s Holy Son!” Jiang Ting was so furious she lost all reason.

The surrounding crowd was dumbfounded.

The Holy Son of Azure Sun Sword Sect was being scolded by his junior sister in public?

Ever since Xiao Yang had defeated Li Xingyao, he had become famous across the Northern Territory.

Compared to Xiao Yang, who even knew who Jiang Ting was?

A junior sister daring to yell at her senior brother—it was outrageous.

Clearly, there was a story behind this trio.

Many people sensed that something was off between Xiao Yang, Jiang Ting, and Qin Fei.

Li Fanyin, standing nearby, chose to remain silent.

This was an internal matter of the Azure Sun Sword Sect. As an outsider, it was best not to get involved.

The crowd was merely there to watch the drama unfold.

Qin Fei, hiding behind Jiang Ting, secretly smirked at Xiao Yang in provocation.

“You’re right,” Xiao Yang said calmly, looking at Jiang Ting. “I am unworthy of being your senior brother, and I am unworthy of being the sect’s Holy Son. Don’t worry, soon I won’t be either.”

Xiao Yang’s voice was calm, but his words shocked everyone.

He was planning to win the Grand Competition, and in front of everyone, announce his departure from the Azure Sun Sword Sect.

He wanted to give them a big surprise.

Titles like senior brother and Holy Son?

He didn’t care about them anymore.

“You… What do you mean by that?” Jiang Ting was stunned, staring at Xiao Yang in confusion.

“Take it literally,” Xiao Yang replied, then ignored her.

“Senior, would you consider this furnace a treasure?” Xiao Yang asked Ning Chengfeng.

“This is more than a treasure. This is an immortal artifact of the celestial realm,” Ning Chengfeng sighed with admiration. “Unfortunately, it has been sealed.”

“Junior Brother, do you admit your loss?” Xiao Yang asked, his gaze fixed on Qin Fei.

Xiao Yang coldly stared at Qin Fei, who was hiding behind Jiang Ting.

“This…” Qin Fei’s expression changed repeatedly.

“Senior Brother, what are you trying to do?” Jiang Ting stared nervously at Xiao Yang.

“A bet is a bet. Everyone, don’t you agree?” Xiao Yang raised his voice, addressing the surrounding crowd.

“That’s right, a loss is a loss.”

“If you lose, you must honor the bet.”

The crowd immediately began to cheer in agreement.

Qin Fei’s face turned deathly pale. He clung pitifully to Jiang Ting’s sleeve, his fragile appearance evoking sympathy from onlookers.

“According to the bet, Qin Fei, what should you do now?” Xiao Yang’s gaze was unwavering as he turned to the crowd again. “Everyone here is a witness. Tell me, what should he do?”

Xiao Yang’s voice rang clearly through the marketplace, reaching every ear.

He wouldn’t let Qin Fei off the hook so easily.

“At your disposal!”

“At your disposal!”

“At your disposal!”

The crowd shouted in unison.

“What…” Jiang Ting’s face changed dramatically.

Only now did she realize the gravity of the situation.

Only now did she understand the bet that her dear junior brother had made with Xiao Yang.

“Junior Brother, the beating earlier was just an appetizer,” Xiao Yang said with a smug smile.

“Senior Brother, you’re going too far!” Jiang Ting shielded Qin Fei behind her, glaring angrily at Xiao Yang.

“Am I going too far? Everyone, tell me, wasn’t it Qin Fei himself who agreed to be at my disposal if he lost? Wasn’t he the one who asked you all to bear witness?” Xiao Yang asked loudly.

“That’s right, it’s true!”

“We’re all witnesses!”

“We can all vouch for it!”

The crowd echoed in support.

Qin Fei remained silent, still hiding behind Jiang Ting, pretending to be scared.

“Senior Brother, there’s no need for this,” Lei Renjie stepped forward to mediate.

“Senior Brother, after all, we’re fellow disciples. Is this really necessary?” Zheng Fan added.

“Shut up, both of you!” Xiao Yang shot them a cold glare.

Lei Renjie and Zheng Fan were visibly displeased but didn’t dare say another word.

“Junior Brother, it’s time for you to honor your bet. I won’t make things too difficult for you. Just crawl under my legs, and we’ll call it even,” Xiao Yang said as he spread his legs apart.

You, Qin Fei, wanted to humiliate me in public?

You wanted to see me embarrassed?

Dream on!

As soon as Xiao Yang’s words fell, the entire place fell silent.

All eyes were fixed on Qin Fei, who was still cowering behind Jiang Ting.

With so many people watching, would he crawl or not?
