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

Chapter 47:

Xiao Yang and the others were just about to descend the mountain when Junior Sister Jiang Ting and Qin Fei suddenly arrived.

This was unexpected.

Everyone was shocked because Jiang Ting and Qin Fei had no qualification to participate in the Jiazi Grand Competition.

Xiao Yang quickly understood the situation, his gaze landing on Qin Fei.

It had to be Qin Fei stirring up trouble again.

Even after having his… predicament with Lin Wangchuan’s kick, this guy still found ways to create chaos.

Qin Fei was the young master of the Demon Sect, serving as an undercover agent in the Azure Sun Sect. His dedication was almost admirable.

Yet Xiao Yang couldn’t figure out what trick Qin Fei had pulled to make Sect Master Jiang Qitian include them in the team.

The Jiazi Grand Competition wasn’t just an internal sect event—it had strict rules. Not even Jiang Qitian, as sect master, could ignore them.

The list of participants had already been finalized, with only eleven spots allocated. For Jiang Qitian to suddenly forcefully add people into the group… What did this mean?

Did the sect’s competition results mean nothing?

Was everyone’s effort wasted?

Was the Azure Sun Sect now a place where Jiang Qitian’s word alone decided everything?

“Junior Brother, my apologies for… uh, your unfortunate incident. Are you feeling better now?” Lin Wangchuan suddenly turned to Qin Fei, his voice brimming with awkward sincerity.

Hearing this, Qin Fei’s handsome face turned deathly pale.

Everyone couldn’t help but glance toward Qin Fei’s lower body.

Even the Five Elders’ expressions became slightly awkward.

Sect Master Jiang Qitian looked deeply uncomfortable, while Jiang Ting was furious.

Lin Wangchuan had a way of saying the worst things at the worst time.

“Junior Sister…” Qin Fei, looking wounded, quickly hid behind Jiang Ting.

Xiao Yang caught this and couldn’t help but smile faintly.

In both his past and present lives, few people had earned Xiao Yang’s genuine respect, but Qin Fei’s resourcefulness definitely deserved recognition.

“Senior Brother Lin, there’s no need to concern yourself with Junior Brother’s injury,” Jiang Ting said coldly, her face dark with anger.

She glared at Xiao Yang briefly, her eyes burning with unhidden fury.

Xiao Yang, however, remained completely unfazed.

“Junior Sister, it’s not my fault! You all kept boasting about how amazing Junior Brother Qin’s innate Dao physique was. How was I supposed to know he couldn’t even beat me? I was deceived!” Lin Wangchuan said, pouting in protest.

The crowd was speechless.

Qin Fei nearly coughed up blood from sheer anger.

This was utterly humiliating.

As the young master of the Demon Sect, he had never endured such humiliation in his life.

In his heart, he swore that once they descended the mountain, he would ensure Lin Wangchuan suffered endlessly.

Yet, outwardly, Qin Fei had to suppress his rage, putting on a pitifully aggrieved expression.

“Senior Sister…” Qin Fei’s eyes flickered cunningly as he continued his act, feigning a mixture of frustration and helplessness.

Xiao Yang stood silently to the side, watching Qin Fei’s theatrics with mild amusement.

“Senior Brother Lin, stop talking!” Jiang Ting snapped.

“What? It’s true! He couldn’t beat me!” Lin Wangchuan retorted stubbornly.

“You…” Jiang Ting was on the verge of exploding.

“Enough foolishness,” Elder Gu Feng reprimanded Lin Wangchuan with a stern glare.

Lin Wangchuan quickly quieted, lowering his head sheepishly.

“Sect Master, this doesn’t follow protocol,” the Transmission Elder said coolly, glancing at Jiang Ting and Qin Fei before addressing Jiang Qitian.

He had already been upset about losing the position of team leader to the Law Enforcement Elder and wasn’t inclined to stay quiet.

Discontent spread among the disciples, especially Yun Qianxue, Ye Qingyao, and Qi Xuan.

They had all earned their spots in the competition through hard-fought victories.

Now Jiang Ting and Qin Fei were being added to the group, which meant two people might lose their spots.

The most likely to be replaced were Yun Qianxue and Qi Xuan, as they lacked strong backing within the sect.

Nervously, everyone turned their attention to Sect Master Jiang Qitian.

“How is this against the rules?” Jiang Qitian asked calmly, his tone carrying a hint of authority.

The Transmission Elder froze, his anger rising. Wasn’t it obvious? Forcing his daughter and disciple into the group blatantly violated protocol.

“Um… Sect Master, this clearly doesn’t comply with the rules,” the Law Enforcement Elder hesitated but eventually spoke.

As the one responsible for enforcing the sect’s regulations, he represented fairness and justice. Allowing Jiang Qitian to add people to the team would undermine his authority.

“What, you’re unwilling to escort them to the Heavenly Medicine Sect for me?” Jiang Qitian asked, his gaze piercing.

The Five Elders paused, stunned.

It turned out Jiang Ting and Qin Fei weren’t being added as competitors—they were simply accompanying the group and would be escorted to the Heavenly Medicine Sect.

Relief washed over the crowd.

So it wasn’t as bad as they’d feared.

But Xiao Yang’s expression darkened.

He understood Qin Fei’s intentions all too well.

The reason Qin Fei was so desperate to join the journey wasn’t about the Heavenly Medicine Sect—it was to create opportunities to cause trouble along the way.

In the sect, Qin Fei couldn’t touch Xiao Yang directly. His only option was to manipulate Jiang Ting to undermine him. But outside the sect, the situation changed entirely.

Outside the sect, anything could happen.

Who was Qin Fei’s primary target?

It had to be Xiao Yang, the sect’s Holy Son.

Xiao Yang recalled the events of his previous life, remembering the constant ambushes from the Demon Sect’s members during their journey to the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

Once, he had narrowly escaped death at the hands of a Demon Sect elder, saved only because his third junior brother, Song Qiang, sent out a distress signal.

In retaliation, Qin Fei had schemed against Song Qiang after the competition, resulting in his death on their return journey.

Though much had changed in this life, Qin Fei’s cunning and ruthlessness remained the same.

By joining the group, Qin Fei could secretly coordinate with the Demon Sect to eliminate Xiao Yang.

Qin Fei’s persistence amazed Xiao Yang. Even with his injuries, the man was still plotting.

To reach the Heavenly Medicine Sect, they would need to alter their route, passing through Yuanlong City.

Yuanlong City was Xiao Yang’s hometown.

But the Xiao family had been ousted by the Liu family, backed by the Guiyuan Martial Sect—one of the Northern Region’s top powers.

Qin Fei clearly intended to force Xiao Yang back to Yuanlong City, hoping to entangle him in conflicts with the Liu family and their powerful allies.

Xiao Yang smirked coldly.

“Good. Let’s see how you plan to drag me into your schemes this time.”

He met Qin Fei’s gaze head-on, their eyes locking briefly.

In Qin Fei’s eyes, Xiao Yang saw a flicker of malice.

“Disciples, follow me down the mountain!” the Law Enforcement Elder commanded, striding forward.
