Quick Transmigration: After the Backup Love Awakens, He Sacrifices the Official Partner to the Heave

Just then, Yu Zhengming, the original owner's master and also the sect leader of Lingyun Sect, stepped forward to persuade him: "Qi'an, Si Rui is in imminent danger. As his master, I beg you to hand over the Spirit Nourishing Jade."

Jiang Zui, courtesy name Qi'an.

Jiang Huai hopes that Jiang Zui will live a peaceful and safe life.

As for Si Rui, it was the courtesy name Yu Zhengming gave to Meng Zhe.

"metropolitan!?"

"master?!"

"father?!"

No one expected Yu Zhengming to beg Jiang Zui so humbly.

"Second Senior Brother, why don't you listen to Master and hand over the Spirit-Nourishing Jade?"

"Jiang Zui, don't be ungrateful. The sect leader has condescended to beg you like this. Quickly hand over the Spirit Nourishing Jade, or else... don't blame us for not showing any brotherhood."

Jiang Zui stared intently at the person who accused him of being ungrateful, and sneered, "Disregard...fraternal bonds? What? Trying to steal it?"

"You... Jiang Zui, you... If you obediently hand over the Spirit-Nourishing Jade, we will still be fellow disciples. But if you remain stubborn, don't blame us for being ruthless." The man was so angry with Jiang Zui that his face turned red and his neck thickened. He spoke without thinking and spat it all out in one breath.

Then, not forgetting to form cliques, he loudly proclaimed, "Fellow disciples, look at our heartless second senior brother! Our eldest senior brother sacrificed his own cultivation to save our junior brother!"

Jiang Zui clearly possessed a Spirit-Nourishing Jade that could heal his senior brother, yet he refused to use it.

Such an ungrateful, cold-hearted person is utterly unworthy to be our second senior brother, nor to be a disciple of the Lingyun Sect.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone followed suit, shouting, "We dared to call you Second Senior Brother, but we never imagined you would be such a selfish person!"

"This kind of person doesn't deserve to stay in the Lingyun Sect at all."

"Drive Jiang Zui out of Lingyun Sect."

"Expel them from the Lingyun Sect."

"Expel them from the Lingyun Sect."

......

Yu Miao and Yu Zhengming watched silently from the side, without stopping it.

Looking at this scene where right and wrong were indistinguishable, Jiang Zui found it somewhat amusing.

If he doesn't hand over the Spirit-Nourishing Jade, he will disregard the common people and his fellow disciples, becoming a heartless and ungrateful person.

That's ridiculous.

How could Meng Zhe, a mere disciple, possibly be expected to save the world? What about the sect leaders and patriarchs of all the other sects?

Moreover, without the Spirit Nourishing Jade, Meng Zhe's cultivation would only stagnate, remaining at the Foundation Establishment stage. However, without the Spirit Nourishing Jade, his cultivation would gradually decline until he eventually became an ordinary person.

Screw it, the person who wants to morally blackmail Jiang Zui isn't even born yet.

Jiang Zui ignored everyone and said directly, "Everyone, it's not that I'm unwilling to hand over the Spirit Nourishing Jade."

Rather, the Spirit-Nourishing Jade is very important to me. Everyone knows about my illness. My father went through a lot of trouble to find this Spirit-Nourishing Jade, hoping that it would help me live longer.

There may be other ways to save my senior brother in the world, but the Spirit-Nourishing Jade is the only thing that can save my life, and I cannot give it up.

He paused for a moment and then said, "Eldest brother is not in any danger, but his cultivation is a little more difficult than before. He can only cultivate diligently and one day he will achieve enlightenment."

However, there is no cure for my illness; the only way to sustain my life is to wear the Spirit Nourishing Jade year-round.

Fellow disciples, as your fellow disciples, I naturally share your wish for our eldest brother to be well.

Lingyun Sect is the number one sect in the cultivation world. What kind of rare and precious treasures don't they have? I believe that Master and the elders will definitely have a way to cure Senior Brother. Don't you agree?

After Jiang Zui finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Yes, the Spirit Jade is related to Jiang Zui's life or death, while the fact that the senior brother didn't have a Spirit Jade only caused some obstacles in his cultivation.

If it were them, they would have made the same choice as Jiang Zui.

Then, the situation reversed.

"Second Senior Brother, we're sorry, we were wrong."

"Second Brother, we were reckless and didn't understand the situation beforehand."

"We believe in the sect and the sect leader. We are confident that we can cure our senior brother."

Although Jiang Zui is the second senior brother, his father was an elder of the sect, and even though he has passed away, he still has many followers.

Moreover, some people thought of something else: if Meng Zhe couldn't break through in this lifetime, wouldn't they have a chance to become the future sect leader?

After all, a sect would never recognize a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator as its sect leader.

The apologies from everyone made Yu Miao a little anxious.

He was almost about to obtain the Spirit-Nourishing Jade when a mishap occurred.

What's going on with Jiang Zui?

In the past, he only needed to cry and complain to the other party a few times, and the other party would obediently offer it up.

Just as Yu Miao opened her mouth to speak, a hoarse voice rang out, accompanied by a series of coughs.

Meng Zhe, dressed in a white gauze robe and wearing a white jade hairpin in her hair, walked slowly with a deathly pale face.

Seeing Meng Zhe walking, Yu Miao quickly went forward to support him, fearing that he might be in danger. As they walked, she said, "Senior Brother, your injuries haven't healed yet, how can you get out of bed?"

"Thank you for your concern, Junior Brother. I'm perfectly fine now." Meng Zhe said this with a calm demeanor, which made everyone admire his approachable nature.

However, the moment Jiang Zui saw Meng Zhe, she secretly rolled her eyes.

What humility and gentleness?

Shit.

He did smell a hint of innocence.

Sure enough, you won't enter a house unless you're from the same family.

Both the main characters, the seme and uke, are damn innocent and pure.

They're all such good pretenders.

Look at that smeared mouth, and the way she walks, like she's about to die.

Hey, brother, you just find cultivation a little more difficult than others.

Is this really necessary?!

It's truly an eyesore.

"Ahem, fellow disciples, please stop arguing. I know the whole story. As the senior disciple, I naturally won't accept my junior brother's things. Let's just let this matter go."

Meng Zhe's gentle voice, kind face, and upright demeanor prompted everyone present to echo, "Our senior brother is so kind; we are all ashamed of our own inferiority."

"Fellow disciples, the Spirit-Nourishing Jade belongs to our junior brother, and he has the right to dispose of it as he sees fit. As fellow disciples, let's not make things difficult for him. As for my injuries..."

Meng Zhe left his last sentence unfinished, leaving it to the imagination of those present, before turning to look at Jiang Zui.

"Junior brother, this matter... is my fault. The other disciples here were just worried about me. Please, for my sake, forgive them and let it go... is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes filled with gratitude.

Jiang Zui was stunned?!

What the hell?!

A dilemma?! Give up?!

Did he ever say anything that made him feel awkward?

Hey, who's talking to themselves here?

He had been eavesdropping on the whole thing from inside the house, but refused to show himself. Yet he suddenly appeared at this crucial moment. No one would believe there was no conspiracy involved.

Jiang Zui couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Senior Brother, what makes you say that? Have I ever said anything to make things difficult for my fellow disciples?"

"Senior brother... what you said... is somewhat ambiguous."

Upon hearing Jiang Zui's words, Meng Zhe's lips twitched slightly, and then he feigned weakness, saying, "I'm sorry, I misspoke."

"Senior Brother, you did nothing wrong. The one who was wrong was Second Senior Brother. You were unwell, yet you still stepped in to save Second Senior Brother. Instead of being grateful, Second Senior Brother spoke rudely to you," Yu Miao said, speaking up for him.

"Little...cough cough cough...Junior Brother, don't..." Meng Zhe coughed and shook his head at Yu Miao, indicating that there was no need to mention it again.

Everyone felt sorry for Meng Zhe when they saw how weak he looked.

"Second Senior Brother, this matter has been resolved with Senior Brother's intervention. Why are you still arguing so stubbornly and pressing the issue, refusing to let it go?"

"Our eldest brother pleaded for you before his injuries had even healed, and you not only showed no gratitude but also betrayed us. Second brother, you... have disappointed us greatly."

"We beg the sect leader/master to punish our second senior brother," the crowd knelt before Yu Zhengming and cried out.

Before Jiang Zui could act, Meng Zhe pleaded, "Master, I only misspoke. Please be lenient."

"Very well, in that case, lock Jiang Zui in the Demon Soul Cave and make him reflect on his mistakes for five years."

The Demon Soul Cave is a place used by the Lingyun Sect to suppress evil spirits; it is filled with powerful demons.

Even if Yu Zhengming himself went in, he wouldn't survive more than seven days, let alone the original owner who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage.

Having to stay for another five years is tantamount to sending them to their deaths.

However, no one present raised any objection.
