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

Chapter 148:

“You want me to crawl under your legs?”

“You want me to suffer such humiliation?”

Qin Fei was filled with shock, anger, and disbelief. The next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

“Junior Brother!”

Jiang Ting was horrified and rushed forward to catch him. Qin Fei had fainted from rage, his fresh blood splattering onto Jiang Ting’s pristine white dress, forming patterns like blooming plum blossoms.

“Junior Brother, what’s wrong? Wake up!”

Jiang Ting’s panicked voice carried a trace of sobbing as she frantically called out for help.

The surrounding crowd was stunned by the scene.

No one expected Qin Fei to be so enraged that he would spit blood and faint.

Zheng Fan and Lei Renjie quickly stepped forward, while Xiao Yang stood there, slightly surprised.

He hadn’t expected Qin Fei to resort to such a trick just to avoid crawling under his legs.

Xiao Yang had to admit—Qin Fei was clever in his desperation.

This tactic was simple yet effective.

Now that he had fainted and vomited blood, how could he still be expected to crawl?

Not only did Qin Fei avoid the humiliation, but he also gained the sympathy of the crowd by playing the victim.

“Someone, please help my Junior Brother! Please save him!” Jiang Ting cried out anxiously, looking around in panic.

Seeing this, Xiao Yang couldn’t help but feel a sense of injustice.

He recalled the past life when he had returned injured from training outside, and Jiang Ting had completely ignored him.

Yet now, when Qin Fei suffered a minor setback, she was on the verge of tears.

Jiang Ting had never been this worried about him before.

“Is there a healer here?”

Li Fanyin’s voice rang out above the crowd, filled with authority.

She didn’t want an incident involving disciples of the Azure Sun Sword Sect to occur in Nine Heavens City, especially since they were now her guests.

The surrounding crowd exchanged hesitant glances, but no one stepped forward.

Even Jiang Ting and the others dared not recklessly give Qin Fei any pills.

In this world, no medicine could cure all ailments.

Without a clear diagnosis, taking the wrong pill could lead to disastrous consequences.

If something happened to Qin Fei after taking a random remedy, the person who gave it would bear the responsibility.

“Please step aside!”

At that moment, a voice rang out from outside the crowd.

Xiao Yang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a veiled woman dressed in white, walking quickly toward them with a group of followers.

“Six gourds on her robe… it’s the Six-Gourd Heavenly Physician from the Heavenly Medical Sect!”

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

“What? She’s from the Heavenly Medical Sect?”

“The Six-Gourd Heavenly Physician?”

The crowd gasped in shock and quickly made way.

The woman’s collar was embroidered with six small gourds, symbolizing her status as a Six-Gourd Heavenly Physician.

That meant she was a grandmaster in both martial arts and medicine at the Heavenly Martial Realm!

Xiao Yang instantly recognized her—Ning Shu, the Holy Saintess of the Heavenly Medical Sect.

Ning Shu swiftly approached Qin Fei.

“Please, save him!”

Jiang Ting’s expression changed from shock to joy upon seeing Ning Shu.

Xiao Yang, however, smirked internally.

With Ning Shu here, Qin Fei’s act was about to be exposed.

The Heavenly Medical Sect was known for its unparalleled diagnostic technique—using spiritual threads to detect conditions.

Once Ning Shu’s fingers touched Qin Fei’s pulse, her spiritual threads would instantly scan his entire body and uncover any deception.

There was no way to fake an injury before her.

As soon as Ning Shu placed her fingers on Qin Fei’s wrist, her expression grew serious.

“How is he?” Jiang Ting asked anxiously, panic growing in her voice.

Ning Shu didn’t reply immediately. Instead, she channeled her spiritual threads into Qin Fei’s body, letting them roam through his system.

After a moment, Ning Shu sighed heavily, her expression filled with concern.

“This…”

Jiang Ting’s heart tightened at the sight of Ning Shu’s reaction.

“He was previously poisoned. Although the poison was cured, he’s also been afflicted by a deadly blood parasite—one of extreme potency!” Ning Shu said with a deep frown.

“What?”

Jiang Ting was stunned.

She had known about the poison when she had to choose between Xiao Yang and Qin Fei earlier.

But she had never imagined Qin Fei was also infected with a blood parasite.

The surrounding crowd erupted into murmurs of shock.

“A blood parasite? Isn’t that the signature ability of the Blood Demon from centuries ago?”

“Could it be that the Blood Demon has returned to plague the world again?”

People around them were visibly shaken.

What they didn’t know was that the Blood Demon had long since perished in the underground blood pool of Black Wind City.

Xiao Yang knew very well that Qin Fei had been infected by the blood parasite.

After all, he had overheard Qin Fei and his accomplices plotting with the Blood Demon back in Black Wind City.

However, Xiao Yang didn’t expect that the blood parasite in Qin Fei’s body was still present.

Given Qin Fei’s abilities, it was impossible that he couldn’t remove it.

Though the blood parasite was formidable, Qin Fei was the heir of the demonic sect. If he couldn’t even get rid of a mere parasite, he wouldn’t be worthy of that title.

And yet, Qin Fei had deliberately left the parasite that the Blood Demon had implanted in him back in the underground blood pool of Black Wind City.

Even though the Blood Demon was dead, the parasite still lingered inside Qin Fei.

Xiao Yang couldn’t help but be impressed—Qin Fei’s schemes, blending truth with lies, were truly ingenious.

“Please, save him!”

Jiang Ting pleaded desperately with Ning Shu.

For Qin Fei, she was even willing to beg others.

“Let’s take him back first. This is not the right place to remove the parasite,” Ning Shu said with a frown.

Zheng Fan and Lei Renjie quickly carried Qin Fei away.

Jiang Ting’s eyes were filled with concern for her junior brother. It was as if she had completely forgotten about Xiao Yang, not even sparing him a glance before leaving protectively with Qin Fei.

Ning Shu and the disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect followed closely behind.

Although she was eager to examine the legendary celestial furnace, saving a life took priority.

The onlookers did not disperse.

The news of the celestial furnace’s appearance had already spread, causing a sensation throughout the entire city.

Xiao Yang, however, felt somewhat unsatisfied.

He had only slapped Qin Fei in public; it felt like letting him off too easily.

“Young friend, would you be willing to lend me this alchemy furnace for study?”

Ning Chengfeng held the celestial furnace in his hands, looking at Xiao Yang with anticipation.

“This…”

Xiao Yang hesitated. After all, this was the Divine Jade Mysterious Flame Celestial Furnace, a treasure of the celestial realm.

In his previous life, this treasure ended up in the hands of Xiaoyao Palace’s Saintess, Hua Mengli, and became the sect’s most prized artifact.

But in this life, it had fallen into his hands.

Previously, he had obtained the rare Phoenix Nirvana Fruit from the northern mountains of Yuanlong City. With this celestial furnace, once he reached the Saint Martial Realm, he could refine the legendary Phoenix Nirvana Pill.

However, the furnace was currently sealed, and with his current cultivation, he couldn’t yet fully control it.

“Old master, how long do you want to borrow it for?”

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yang asked.

“How about a year or so?” Ning Chengfeng suggested.

“What’s in it for me?”

Xiao Yang looked at Ning Chengfeng with a sly smile.

“Benefits? What do you want in return?” Ning Chengfeng asked eagerly.

Xiao Yang pondered and replied,”I haven’t decided yet.”

“Hmm…”

After a moment of thought, Ning Chengfeng flipped his hand and produced a jade token, tossing it to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang caught it.

“This is my Elder’s Token from the Weapon Refining Sect. When you’ve decided what you want, bring this token to the sect. We will do our utmost to fulfill one of your requests. How does that sound?”

Ning Chengfeng’s expression was sincere.

Xiao Yang examined the token, smiling. “Anything?”

“As long as it’s not murder, arson, or anything against justice and morality, it can be done!”

Ning Chengfeng replied solemnly.

“Deal!” Xiao Yang agreed without hesitation.

He knew that Ning Chengfeng was obsessed with refining weapons and had an excellent reputation in the cultivation world. Most importantly, Ning Chengfeng was also the great-grandfather of Ning Shu.

At this point, Ning Shu didn’t even know she had a great-grandfather.

In his previous life, Ning Shu had only reunited with her great-grandfather many years later.

Xiao Yang recalled that, in his past life, when Ning Chengfeng learned of Ning Shu’s tragic death at the hands of the demonic sect, he had stormed the Demonic Abyss alone in vengeance, ultimately dying heroically.

How could Xiao Yang not trust such a man?

“What?!”

The surrounding crowd was shocked.

This was the Divine Jade Mysterious Flame Celestial Furnace—the finest alchemy furnace in the entire Northern Region, perhaps even across the entire Yuanwu Continent.

Though it was currently sealed, who could guarantee the seal wouldn’t be lifted someday?

And yet, Xiao Yang had agreed to lend it out so easily?

The crowd found it hard to believe.

“Haha! Young man, I’ll be off then!”

Ning Chengfeng laughed heartily, storing the furnace before soaring into the sky as a streak of divine light, disappearing through the city gates in an instant.

Clearly, he couldn’t wait to study the celestial treasure.

Seeing that the excitement was over, the crowd gradually dispersed.

“Brother Xiao, tonight I’ll be hosting a banquet at the City Lord’s mansion…”

Li Fanyin invited with a smile.

“Not interested!”

Xiao Yang rejected her outright and turned to leave.

“…”

Li Fanyin was surprised. She hadn’t expected such a blunt refusal.

By now, everyone knew he had stumbled upon an incredible treasure. Wandering the market any further would only invite trouble, as people would surely hike up their prices the moment he showed interest in something.

As for the City Lord’s banquet, he truly had no interest.

Returning to the inn, Xiao Yang sat cross-legged on his bed and began cultivating.

Today wasn’t without its gains—he not only obtained a celestial treasure but also secured a great favor from the Weapon Refining Sect’s Grand Elder, Ning Chengfeng.

After the Grand Competition, he planned to leave the Azure Sun Sword Sect.

When that time came, he would venture into the world alone, but with this favor in hand, he wouldn’t be entirely without support.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was evening.

As Xiao Yang sat in meditation, his eyes suddenly snapped open.

In the next moment, a cold gleam shot through his window, aimed directly at his chest.
