Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

"Liuli, I'm back!"

Ji Chaoxi was overjoyed as soon as she returned to her own courtyard.

Liuli immediately put down her pen and ran out. She was about to hug Ji Chaoxi and cry when Ji Chaoxi picked her up, tossed her into the air, and then caught her steadily.

With that, she caught and tossed the object, then hugged her arms, silently looking at the sky, her tears dried by the wind.

Ji Chaoxi got tired after tossing it a few times and quickly put the glass down.

"Liuli, I have so much to tell you!" Ji Chaoxi said breathlessly.

She had originally intended to show off her strength to Liuli, but she ended up overdoing it.

Liuli took a piece of paper and a pen and started writing something on it.

"Miss, you were incredibly strong just now! You were a true Hercules!"

"I think Miss is stronger than that butcher Master hired!"

Liuli's face turned bright red.

Genius! Genius!

Ji Chaoxi felt increasingly embarrassed as she listened to Liuli's praise.

Because the butcher her father found was really big; he could carry a whole pig by himself, and he could see the scene in another alley from where he was standing.

Others had to look up at him when they spoke to him.

In the past, when Ji Chaoxi ran away from home and hid in a corner, her mother would always send the butcher to look for her, and he would always find her very quickly.

"Miss, I think you can now rival the butcher. You're much better than him!" Liuli became more and more excited as she spoke.

Ji Chaoxi coughed guiltily, "Really?"

Liuli nodded vigorously: "Really! Miss, you just shook me so many times, don't you feel tired?"

Ji Chaoxi felt even more guilty. She had only put Liuli down because she was tired.

But seeing how much Liuli admired her, she decided to train even harder and try to make herself stronger than the butcher.

The Heavenly Absolute Sect was bustling with activity, everyone talking about Ji Chaoxi and Wen Shubai's return.

Triangular-eyed man naturally knew they had returned.

He stood in the courtyard, his brows furrowed. He hadn't expected Wen Shubai to actually come back alive.

He really should have gone down and checked; he took that step too hastily.

At this moment, Wen Shubai was in the Elders' Courtyard.

The Second Elder wiped away his tears: "Shubai, thank goodness you're back."

Other elders also expressed their concern.

"Shubai, have you fully recovered? Are there any other wounds?"

Just then, the man with the triangular eyes walked into the Elders' Hall. As soon as he saw Wen Shubai, tears involuntarily streamed down his face: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother! Is it really you?"

Wen Shubai politely said, "Junior brother, it really is me."

The man with the triangular eyes cried even harder: "Senior brother, it's all our fault. We were trying to find someone to save you, but we also got into trouble on the way. Luckily, we were found by the locals."

Wen Shubai said gently, "Junior Brother, there's no need to feel guilty."

The man with the triangular eyes kept talking about what happened that day, and the other elders looked rather grim, but they didn't know what to say.

Because training should not hinder other disciples, this is indeed a rule of the Tianjue Sect.

But Wen Shubai was exceptionally talented and would ascend to immortality sooner or later. Such a promising talent was almost wasted, which inevitably made them very unhappy.

The man with the triangular eyes was crying his eyes out, making solemn vows and cursing himself, while Wen Shubai watched him gently.

Triangular eyes: ...

Seeing that he had finally finished crying, the Second Elder said, "Alright, alright, go back now that you're done crying."

He cried so much his head hurt.

Wen Shubai nodded gently to him: "Junior brother, don't worry, it's all over now."

The man with the triangular eyes stood there, conflicted, but eventually left.

As he left, he saw Wen Shubai talking to the other elders.

He frowned deeply, wondering whether Wen Shubai had actually obtained the Ice Marrow Pill.

If he can get out safely, then he must be able to get the Ice Marrow Pill, but the elders didn't mention the Ice Marrow Pill at all.

The man with the triangular eyes frowned more and more deeply. Could it be that Wen Shubai had secretly consumed the Ice Marrow Pill for the upcoming sect examination...?

He quickly put the idea out of his mind again.

Probably not. Wen Shubai always puts the sect first; it's unlikely he'd hoard the Ice Marrow Pill. Is that Ice Marrow Pill still there...?

The sky was completely dyed red by the setting sun. The Second Elder touched his belly; it was so full of hunger.

"Second Elder! Second Elder!"

The starving Second Elder asked weakly, "Miss Ji, what's wrong?"

Ji Chaoxi was a little embarrassed: "Second Elder, what you said is indeed true. I didn't believe you before. It turns out I really do have a hidden spiritual root."

The Second Elder stopped touching his stomach, staring blankly at Ji Chaoxi, still somewhat bewildered: "What?"

The other disciples of the Heavenly Annihilation Sect had already finished their training and were chattering as they left the training ground.

Wen Shubai saw the two people not far away and walked over to them.

"You said I had a hidden spiritual root before, and I really do! Now my hidden spiritual root has manifested!" Ji Chaoxi's eyes shone brightly.

She had previously thought that the Second Elder was only good at eating, but it turns out he was also a person of great wisdom.

Seeing Ji Chaoxi's happy expression, Wen Shubai couldn't help but smile as well, wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.

The Second Elder was dumbfounded upon hearing this. What do you mean by "manifestation"? Wasn't he just making that up?!

That was purely a flash of inspiration on his part.

Wen Shubai said softly, "Second Elder is highly skilled and knowledgeable. This disciple did not know about the existence of hidden spiritual roots before."

The second elder stared wide-eyed, his expression somewhat blank.

"Miss Ji, you really do have spiritual roots now?"

Ji Chaoxi nodded vigorously and said in a clear voice, "Senior Brother can be my witness!"

Wen Shubai laughed again, and Ji Chaoxi pushed him in anger. Wen Shubai then took her hand.

Ji Chaoxi snorted and turned her head away.

The Second Elder's lips trembled, still lost in his own world: "What kind of spiritual root does Miss Ji have?"

"Ice Spirit Root!" Ji Chaoxi said proudly.

The Second Elder nodded and murmured, "Good thing, good thing."

To be honest, the reason he hasn't ascended to immortality after cultivating for so many years is because he has too many desires.

But the Hidden Spirit Root was just something he mentioned casually, so why would it actually exist in this world?

Is he someone chosen by Heaven...?

But he still can't bear to part with the delicious food of the mortal world. Now, the Heavenly Dao is giving him a hint that he might be a genius. How should he choose between the Heavenly Dao and the delicious food?

"Senior Brother, what's wrong with the Second Elder?" Ji Chaoxi whispered in Wen Shubai's ear.

Wen Shubai lowered his voice and, mimicking her, whispered, "Junior Sister, the Second Elder is probably starving. Let's go first."

The two glanced at the Second Elder, who was caught in a dilemma, and left silently.
