Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1629: Original Female Protagonist of the Cultivation Novel

“Are you really certain that was the legendary Divine Beast Golden Crow?” In the Green Sun Sect, Jin Chengzi stared at Chen Nanjin, his expression grave while barely suppressing his excitement.

“After I came back I went through the records in the Book Collection Pavilion. Those golden-red wings, and that golden-red flame—other than the Golden Crow, I can’t think of a second Divine Beast. And now that I think about it, I vaguely feel there really was the Power of the Sun falling upon that Divine Beast at the time. Master, that Divine Beast hadn’t even attacked yet, and my junior sister and I were already unable to withstand the pressure. That’s not something an ordinary spiritual beast could do.”

“But if it truly is a Divine Beast like the Golden Crow, if it really wanted to harm you and Ruixiao, you wouldn’t have had any chance to escape.” Kong Mingzi walked in and said.

“That’s not strange.” Jin Chengzi’s gaze turned sharp. “Senior Brother, this is the Cultivation World, not the Immortal Realm. A Divine Beast descending to the mortal world will definitely be suppressed by the rules. No matter how powerful it is, it shouldn’t be able to act as freely as it does in the Immortal Realm. And Senior Brother, have you forgotten you also went and gave her your Frost Fruit? With that sort of age, such a thing has long since vanished from our Cultivation World—unless she obtained it from the Immortal Realm.”

Hearing Jin Chengzi say this, Kong Mingzi had nothing more to say. He looked at his little disciple, whose face was full of hatred, and let out a light sigh.

“Then Junior Brother, what do you plan to do?”

Jin Chengzi lowered his head and thought for a moment. “Even though the Divine Beast Golden Crow is being suppressed by the rules, it’s still a Divine Beast. With only our Green Sun Sect, I fear we are no match for it. It’s best to discuss this together with the several Major Sects.”

Kong Mingzi wanted to stop him, but he was ultimately not the Sect Leader. No matter how high his cultivation was, he couldn’t overstep Jin Chengzi and make decisions for the sect. Moreover, since this concerned the Immortal Realm, not only could he not stop his own sect, he couldn’t possibly influence the other sects either.

At this, he couldn’t help but feel some worry for that person who had almost become his disciple. If he hadn’t first set a condition back then, perhaps she would have already been his disciple; how would all those things afterwards have happened then?

“Ruixiao, come with me for a bit.” Kong Mingzi decided to have a proper talk with this disciple.

Jiang Ruixiao pressed her lips together. There was some unease in her heart, but she could only obediently follow him out.

Back on his own peak, Kong Mingzi’s gaze became sharp. “Did I not tell you to calm your mind and go into seclusion for Cultivation? Why did you go out to hunt down Ye Qiu?”

“Master is scolding me on behalf of an outsider?” Jiang Ruixiao’s eyes reddened. “I knew it, Master, you’ve never looked up to me. Even when I first became your disciple, it was only because I played schemes to get it. You regret taking me as a disciple, don’t you?”

Kong Mingzi frowned. “What are you trying to quibble about?”

Jiang Ruixiao clenched her hands tightly, her eyes bloodshot. “In what way am I inferior to Ye Qiu that you still keep thinking about her? Is my cultivation not high? Have I not brought you glory? Have I not contributed enough to the sect?”

“Ruixiao, your heart is in turmoil. In your current state, it will be very easy for you to fall into qi deviation.”

“My heart is not in turmoil. I’ve always known exactly what I want. Master is truly blaming me for going after Ye Qiu? But it’s precisely because of her appearance that I feel this Heart Palpitation. Master, you once taught me that when there’s a problem, I should take the initiative to resolve it. I’m merely resolving my problem. In the Cultivation World, the victor is king. I don’t feel I’ve done anything wrong. Just the fact that she ruined my Taoist Union Ceremony is enough for me to kill her a hundred, a thousand times.”

Kong Mingzi fell silent, because he knew that no matter what he said now, this disciple wouldn’t listen. And his disappointment was real as well. He felt he absolutely had to let this disciple suffer a little before she would turn back—and Ye Qiu was precisely the one who would make his disciple suffer. If his disciple couldn’t measure up to her, he could still protect her at the critical moment.

The human heart has always been biased. No matter how disappointed Jiang Ruixiao made Kong Mingzi, she was still his final disciple. One was a disciple who had been with him for a thousand years; the other, a fellow cultivator with a bit of karmic connection. As to whom he would favor, Kong Mingzi had never hesitated. It just depended on whether Jiang Ruixiao could understand his painstaking intentions.

The appearance of the Divine Beast Golden Crow was a matter of great importance. Jin Chengzi quickly contacted the Sect Leaders of several Major Sects. At the same time, the disciples who had gone with Jiang Ruixiao to ambush Ye Qiu also returned to their own sects, and another version of the Jiang Ruixiao story rapidly spread.

These words came from male disciples who had once admired Jiang Ruixiao to the point of obsession, making everyone’s suspicions toward Jiang Ruixiao even heavier. This was the famed Rui Yao Fairy; every one of her actions was closely watched. Her failed Taoist Union Ceremony was already the talk of the town. Now with this new incident, it was inevitable people would start doubting her.

There is no such thing as a perfect person in this world. Jiang Ruixiao’s very existence was a provocation to all the female cultivators in the Cultivation World. The recent events made everyone realize that perhaps Jiang Ruixiao truly wasn’t as good as she was rumored to be. Now that the people who once worshiped her personally confirmed it, saying that Jiang Ruixiao not only used the men who adored her but also disregarded their lives and deaths, her reputation plummeted. It was as if overnight she had become a woman that any man could have.

And the key point was, it was said that Jiang Ruixiao’s fiancé Yan Junyang, after hearing these bad rumors about her, didn’t offer a single rebuttal, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. This made the suspicion in everyone’s hearts even heavier.

Some said Jiang Ruixiao was good at putting on an act, drifting between countless men and playing these geniuses in the palm of her hand. Others said Jiang Ruixiao’s Luck wasn’t actually that good, and all her so-called “fortuitous encounters” were merely things she had snatched from others; many once-brilliant female cultivators had died at her hands.

These tales spread with vivid detail. The strongest evidence, aside from the words of those few male cultivators, was Ye Qiu’s string of fortuitous encounters during this time. Ye Qiu had openly said that Jiang Ruixiao had once harmed her, and that she had only survived by sheer luck and come back for revenge. So what about those who had been killed by Jiang Ruixiao?

Many cultivators thought back on the past and realized that it seemed that aside from male cultivators, anyone who had any entanglement with Jiang Ruixiao had come to no good end. This only further confirmed their suspicions.

By the time Jiang Ruixiao heard these rumors, they had already spread throughout the entire Cultivation World. Even if she wanted to argue, it was powerless against the tide. She truly hadn’t expected that Ye Qiu hadn’t killed those people.

She secretly ground her teeth, knowing this was all deliberate on Ye Qiu’s part—deliberately letting those male cultivators return to ruin her reputation.

Jiang Ruixiao let out a cold laugh. All that “deep, unwavering affection” for her was nothing but a lie. If they truly liked her, would they go and tell outsiders that she hadn’t cared about their safety?

Did they not know how dangerous it had been at the time? She had barely been able to protect herself! Why couldn’t they show a little understanding?

Chen Nanjin looked at his junior sister, who seemed on the verge of madness, and sighed in worry. “Junior Sister, all of this is Ye Qiu’s scheme. You must not fall for it. These things will be settled very soon.”

Jiang Ruixiao took a deep breath. That’s right, these matters would be resolved very soon. So what if Ye Qiu had the Divine Beast Golden Crow? Could she possibly stand against the entire Cultivation World?
