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

Chapter 161:

Junior Sister Jiang Ting had gone all out, hosting a grand birthday banquet for Qin Fei.

The banquet hall was bustling with activity, filled with the elite and powerful of the city.

Even the Heavenly Medical Sect had sent representatives, including their saintess, Ning Shu, along with several disciples.

All the influential figures from the Ten Directions Sect stationed in the city were also in attendance.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was lively and vibrant.

When Xiao Yang was personally invited in by Li Fanyin, he immediately became the center of attention.

Xiao Yang brought out the gift he had prepared for Qin Fei: three wooden boxes, which he placed directly in front of him.

Everyone around was curious to see what these three wooden boxes contained.

“Senior Brother, you actually prepared a gift for Junior Brother?” Jiang Ting exclaimed in surprise.

After all, Xiao Yang had never celebrated Qin Fei’s birthday before.

In fact, every year when Jiang Ting celebrated Qin Fei’s birthday, Xiao Yang would always get upset, and it would inevitably lead to a heated argument between him and Jiang Ting.

Today, had Xiao Yang suddenly changed?

Even Qin Fei was stunned.

To him, his birthday had always been an opportunity to disgust and humiliate Xiao Yang.

Every year, his birthday celebrations would enrage Xiao Yang, causing him to argue with Jiang Ting.

On these occasions, Qin Fei would delight in watching Xiao Yang’s impotent fury.

The Holy Son of the Azure Sun Sword Sect, the revered Senior Brother of the younger generation, was unable to do anything to Qin Fei.

Instead, Qin Fei’s antics repeatedly disrupted Xiao Yang’s mental state, hindering his cultivation for years.

And now, Xiao Yang had actually prepared a gift for Qin Fei?

Qin Fei could hardly believe it.

Xiao Yang had never given him a birthday gift before.

Qin Fei stared at the three wooden boxes in front of him, momentarily unsure of what to do.

The crowd also watched the boxes with curiosity.

“Brother Xiao, you and your Junior Brother must have a great relationship—three gifts all at once!” Tang Chen remarked sarcastically.

“Junior Brother Qin, why don’t you open them and see what your Senior Brother has gifted you?” Tang Chen said, smirking as he glanced at Xiao Yang.

Could Xiao Yang really be so magnanimous?

Many present were familiar with the dynamics between Xiao Yang, Jiang Ting, and Qin Fei.

Especially Lei Renjie, Lin Wangchuan, Ye Qingyao, Song Qiang, and Li Yunhu—they were all puzzled about what Xiao Yang was planning.

Over the years, they had seen Xiao Yang grow furious countless times because of Jiang Ting’s closeness with Qin Fei, leading to frequent arguments between Xiao Yang and Jiang Ting.

But this time, their Senior Brother seemed different.

In the past, after quarreling with Jiang Ting, Xiao Yang would always try to reconcile with her.

Yet now, even after so much time, he had made no effort to appease her.

Was their Senior Brother deliberately taking a step back, using reverse tactics to win her over?

And now, at Qin Fei’s birthday banquet, Xiao Yang had surprisingly brought three gifts for him—something entirely unprecedented.

“Senior Brother, I knew you were soft-hearted despite your tough words. Since you’ve given Junior Brother a gift, why not make peace with him? Senior Brother, stop bullying him from now on,” Jiang Ting said happily.

“Yes, very soon, I won’t bully Junior Brother anymore,” Xiao Yang said, looking at Qin Fei with a smile.

Jiang Ting assumed Xiao Yang’s words were because he knew Qin Fei’s life was nearing its end.

Her eyes reddened at his response, and tears welled up, almost spilling over.

Xiao Yang calmly observed her reaction.

Qin Fei’s impending death upset her that much?

When I pretended to die last night, she didn’t seem this sad.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yang felt nothing in his heart.

Feelings only cause turmoil when you care about someone—joy at their happiness, sorrow at their pain.

But once those feelings are gone, even if that person were to die before your eyes, you wouldn’t feel a twinge of heartache.

Because they no longer matter. They’re just a stranger.

Xiao Yang looked at Qin Fei with a faint smile.

“Junior Brother, aren’t you going to open them?” Xiao Yang said with a grin.

Qin Fei hesitated, glancing at Xiao Yang, unsure of what he was planning.

The entire hall fell silent.

Everyone’s attention was focused on Qin Fei, all curious about the contents of the three wooden boxes.

Qin Fei’s right hand reached for the lid of the first box, trembling slightly.

“Junior Brother, stop dawdling and open it already!” Lin Wangchuan said impatiently.

Qin Fei slowly opened the first wooden box.

The crowd grew tense.

As the lid opened a crack, a faint scent of blood wafted out.

“Blood?”

The crowd immediately caught the smell and their expressions changed.

“Senior Brother, you…”

Jiang Ting thought Xiao Yang was trying to humiliate Qin Fei.

She looked at Xiao Yang with disappointment in her eyes.

Qin Fei’s gaze also darkened with anger. Was Xiao Yang really trying to ruin his birthday banquet?

Had he forgotten how Qin Fei had disrupted Xiao Yang’s birthdays every year?

Only Qin Fei was allowed to cause trouble on someone else’s birthday, but others couldn’t do the same to him?

The crowd watched with mixed feelings.

Xiao Yang, however, smirked, the corners of his lips curling upward.

Qin Fei abruptly opened the wooden box.

In the next moment, his pupils contracted sharply, and his entire body froze, staring intently at the contents of the box.

“This…”

When everyone else saw what was inside, they were utterly dumbfounded.

The wooden box contained a severed head.

It was Qin Fei’s birthday banquet.

Who would bring a severed head as a gift to a birthday celebration?

Everyone stared at the head in disbelief.

It belonged to a middle-aged man.

“Senior Brother, this is outrageous!” Jiang Ting erupted in fury.

Her eyes turned red as she glared at Xiao Yang.

Her Junior Brother was already nearing death, yet Senior Brother had done something so absurd—bringing a severed head to his birthday banquet?

Li Fanyin, Ning Shu, Tang Chen, and everyone else present could never have imagined that Xiao Yang’s birthday gift for Qin Fei would turn out to be a severed head.

“Am I outrageous? Open your eyes and take a good look at whose head this is,” Xiao Yang said loudly.

“What?”

Jiang Ting froze for a moment before quickly taking a closer look at the head inside the wooden box.

“This is… a demonic sect remnant?”

Han Bin exclaimed.

“How is that possible?”

Everyone gasped in shock.

“I wouldn’t mistake this face. This is the very person who injured me in Black Wind City,” Han Bin said bitterly.

Had he not been injured by this man, he wouldn’t have lost the opportunity to compete in the Grand Sixty-Year Competition.

“It really is the demonic sect remnant that appeared in Black Wind City!”

Li Yunhu and Song Qiang also recognized the man’s head in the box.

“That’s right. This man is indeed a demonic sect remnant. His name is Ming He, and he is a protector of the mysterious young master of the demonic sect,” Xiao Yang declared.

“Have you all forgotten the terrible ordeal our poor Junior Brother suffered in Black Wind City? My poor Junior Brother was violated by two burly, hairy-chested men from the demonic sect.”

Xiao Yang’s voice echoed across the room, drawing everyone’s attention.

“What?”

“Such a thing happened?”

“Those demonic sect remnants are truly depraved! They even target men?”

The banquet hall instantly erupted in chaos.

Qin Fei, however, was filled with humiliation and rage.

Xiao Yang had just publicly disgraced him, revealing the incident in Black Wind City that only the Azure Sun Sword Sect knew about.

Now the whole world knew what had happened—that he had been assaulted by demonic sect remnants.

“Are those demonic sect men really so desperate?”

“Looking at Qin Fei’s delicate skin and frail appearance… Wait, could he actually be a woman in disguise?”

“Are you blind? Can’t you tell the difference between a man and a woman?”

Some whispered among themselves, their glances at Qin Fei filled with suspicion and amusement.

The atmosphere in the room shifted, and the way people looked at Qin Fei changed entirely.

Xiao Yang, you’re ruthless.

Not only did you bring a severed head to the banquet, but you also exposed this humiliating story, leaving Qin Fei utterly disgraced and humiliated.

“Pfft!”

Qin Fei was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The crowd gasped in shock.
