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

Chapter 32:

“This little guy is so adorable; who could bear to harm it?” Xiao Yang frowned as he examined the wound on the monkey’s left arm. It was a sword injury.

Although the Violet-Eyed Spirit Monkey wasn’t particularly powerful, it was a rare and intelligent spiritual beast with the potential to evolve into a “demon.”

In Xiao Yang’s past life, by the time Lin Wangchuan fell in battle, this very monkey had grown into a mighty demon beast capable of contending with Sword Saints of the Saint Martial Realm.

“Exactly! Xiao Bai is so cute, and that bastard Qin Fei actually injured my Xiao Bai! I hate him!” Lin Wangchuan exclaimed angrily.

“Qin Fei did this?” Xiao Yang was stunned. He hadn’t heard about this in his previous life.

“Yes, it was him! So vile, so despicable!” Lin Wangchuan stomped his feet, his face flushed with anger.

From Lin Wangchuan, Xiao Yang quickly learned the details.

Apparently, after Qin Fei’s outburst the previous day, Jiang Qitian had taken him back to the Azure Sun Hall. But in the afternoon, Qin Fei returned to his residence.

Lin Wangchuan’s Xiao Bai had merely passed near Qin Fei, but Qin Fei had carelessly unleashed a burst of sword energy, wounding the little monkey, which then fled back to Lin Wangchuan.

This enraged Lin Wangchuan, who had been about to confront Qin Fei when he ran into Song Qiang on the way.

Song Qiang mentioned that Xiao Yang might have spiritual medicine that could heal Xiao Bai’s wound, so Lin Wangchuan decided to follow him to the Holy Son’s residence.

Qin Fei had unintentionally offended Lin Wangchuan.

Xiao Yang fetched some spiritual medicine, carefully unwrapped the bandage on the monkey’s injured arm, and cleansed the wound with spirit spring water. He then applied a salve to stop the bleeding and promote healing.

After re-bandaging the wound, the treatment was complete.

The little monkey remained remarkably still throughout the process, its intelligence evident.

“Senior Brother Holy Son, you’ve healed Xiao Bai! From now on, you’re our big brother!” Lin Wangchuan said happily.

“Alright, you’ll be my little brother from now on!” Xiao Yang replied with a smile. Lin Wangchuan possessed the Immaculate Holy Body, and his future potential was limitless.

Moreover, while Lin Wangchuan often seemed playful and carefree, he had a strong sense of justice and loyalty when it mattered most. Xiao Yang believed only someone like Lin Wangchuan was worthy of being his brother.

“Big Brother Holy Son, keep an eye on Xiao Bai for me. I’m going to settle the score with that despicable Qin Fei right now!” Lin Wangchuan declared, heading for the door.

“Wait!” Xiao Yang quickly stopped him.

Lin Wangchuan was no match for Qin Fei. Confronting him would only result in humiliation.

Lin Wangchuan halted and turned back.

“If you go now, it’ll be too easy on him. Why not try this instead?” Xiao Yang proposed, outlining his plan.

Lin Wangchuan’s eyes lit up as he listened, and Song Qiang, standing nearby, was astonished by the sheer cunning of the scheme.

“Senior Brother, this is ruthless!” Song Qiang thought.

But Lin Wangchuan found it amusing and exciting. He believed Qin Fei deserved such a treatment.

…

The next day, as the sun rose, the bell tolled, signaling the start of the sect competition.

Inner sect disciples began converging at the peak of Azure Sun Mountain.

Soon, the plaza below the sword platform was filled with eager disciples, all ready to showcase their skills.

As Sect Master Jiang Qitian, the Transmission Elder Cang Xiao, the Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie, and the other elders took their seats, the Transmission Elder stood and announced the commencement of the sect competition.

Xiao Yang had arrived early and observed quietly.

Just as the disciples were preparing to take the stage, a figure leaped onto the sword platform ahead of them all.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!”

“He dares to show his face on the platform?”

The crowd buzzed with irritation when they saw who it was—Qin Fei.

His arrogance and antics from the previous day had left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

Not only had his outburst caused the competition to be postponed, but now he was the first to step onto the stage, infuriating the disciples further.

Xiao Yang watched Qin Fei silently, curious about what he planned to do next.

“Senior brothers, sisters, and juniors, I, Qin Fei, apologize to all of you!”

“Forgive me!” Qin Fei bowed deeply, offering apologies to everyone around the platform.

“What is he playing at now?” The crowd was skeptical.

“My sudden surge in cultivation disrupted my mental state, leading to emotional instability and irrational actions. I was on the verge of losing control and nearly succumbed to my inner demons. I deeply regret my behavior and sincerely apologize to everyone!”

Qin Fei’s tone was humble, and his apology appeared heartfelt.

However, the crowd remained silent, watching him closely.

Xiao Yang also kept his gaze fixed on Qin Fei.

At this moment, Sect Master Jiang Qitian stood and declared, “Qin Fei’s behavior yesterday was understandable under the circumstances. Let’s put it behind us and begin the competition!”

Xiao Yang was speechless.

These two, master and disciple, truly treated everyone in the sect like fools.

The plaza erupted with complaints.

No one had expected Jiang Qitian to openly defend Qin Fei.

Even the Law Enforcement Elder and the Transmission Elder looked displeased.

“What more do you want? My junior brother has already apologized!” Jiang Ting’s voice rang out as she stepped forward to defend Qin Fei once again.

As expected, her words silenced much of the commotion.

Jiang Ting was the sect master’s only daughter, and no one dared openly disrespect her. Everyone in the sect also knew about her close relationship with Qin Fei.

Many couldn’t help but sympathize with Xiao Yang. Before Qin Fei joined the sect, Xiao Yang and Jiang Ting had been the ideal pair, childhood sweethearts.

After apologizing again, Qin Fei stepped down from the platform, and the competition resumed.

Disciples took turns competing on the sword platform. Some were defeated and left dejected, while others celebrated their victories.

By noon, Qin Fei still hadn’t participated.

Xiao Yang noticed Qin Fei mingling with the other disciples, apologizing to those he had injured the previous day. He seemed intent on repairing his reputation.

To Xiao Yang’s surprise, even Li Yuhu, Ye Qingyao, and Fang Ritian forgave Qin Fei.

The competition continued in the afternoon, eventually narrowing the participants to the top twenty.

All the personal disciples of the elders made it into the top ranks.

Naturally, personal disciples, who received direct guidance from the elders, were far stronger than ordinary disciples.

Qin Fei was temporarily ranked first.

His performance the previous day had been too overwhelming. With his Sky Martial Realm pinnacle cultivation, no one in the younger generation, aside from Xiao Yang, dared to challenge him.

As for Xiao Yang, as the Holy Son and the acknowledged strongest of the younger generation, he didn’t need to participate. However, competitors were allowed to challenge him.

Finally, Qin Fei couldn’t hold back any longer.

He leaped onto the sword platform and pointed his sword at Xiao Yang.

“Senior Brother, do you dare to face me?”

The crowd erupted in astonishment.

Qin Fei had challenged the Holy Son!

If Qin Fei won, wouldn’t he take the Holy Son’s title?

Only the strongest of the younger generation could lead them. To claim the title of Holy Son, one had to prove their strength.

“You want to challenge me?” Xiao Yang asked, smiling as he looked at Qin Fei on the platform.
