Quick Transmigration: Finding a Successor for a Sect in JX3

When Qi Mushan and Ling Po heard that Hong Fei knew what had happened to Li Xiangyi, they were about to ask Hong Fei for details.

"cough!"

A cough came from the couch. The three looked up and saw that Li Xiangyi had woken up.

"Oh, you woke up pretty quickly," Hong Fei said in a slightly cheeky voice.

Hongfei pattered as she ran from the doorway to Li Xiangyi's side. As she looked at Li Xiangyi, she clicked her tongue and said, "How did you wake up so quickly?" She seemed quite disappointed.

Li Xiangyi had just woken up and his mind was still a bit foggy. Hearing Hong Fei's words and seeing her expression, he couldn't help but retort, "What? Did waking up ruin your plans?"

"Wow! You can even roast people." Hong Fei replied politely, "Of course, if you had woken up any later, I would have told you everything about your life, from the most important events to the smallest details. What a pity, how come you woke up so just in time?"

Upon hearing Hong Fei's words, Li Xiangyi was so angry that he choked and coughed.

"Cough, cough, cough!!!"

Qi Mushan and Ling Po's lips twitched as they overheard the conversation. But the smiles in their eyes were impossible to hide.

When Ling Po saw that Li Xiangyi was choking, she quickly went over and patted his back.

Li Xiangyi coughed for a while until he caught his breath. Then he remembered what had happened before he fainted. He grabbed Ling Po's hand and cried out, "Master's wife, senior brother, senior brother. I killed senior brother." His voice was choked with sobs and disbelief.

"Why? Why is that person my senior brother?" After saying this, he turned to Qi Mushan and said, "Master, what exactly is going on? Why is that person my senior brother? How could he be my senior brother? How could he be my senior brother?" Li Xiangyi was so sad, upset and shocked that he couldn't continue speaking.

Li Xiangyi couldn't believe it. His senior brother, who should have been dead, was not only alive but had also tried to harm their master, and had been killed by him. Although he hadn't known it was his senior brother in the heat of the moment, his senior brother had truly died at his hands. What he found even more unbelievable was that his senior brother had actually tried to betray their master and harm them. How could his senior brother dare to do such a thing! That was the master who had found them from the beggars' pile and raised them. Moreover, he had thought his senior brother was dead, and in order to retrieve his body, he had led the Si Gu Sect in a fierce battle against the Jin Yuan Alliance, losing so many brothers. His duel with Di Feisheng had also ended in mutual destruction, and he himself had been poisoned. Now he was being told that his senior brother wasn't dead at all. What about that so-called body? Everything was shrouded in mystery. For a moment, Li Xiangyi didn't know what to do. He could only bury his head in Ling Po's arms, calling out again and again, "Master's wife! Master's wife!" repeatedly asking, "Why? Why?" Li Xiangyi hugged Ling Po's waist, crying like a child in her arms.

Qi Mushan sat down next to Li Xiangyi, patted his back, and comforted him, "Xiangyi, your master is still here. Xiangyi has a master."

Hongfei felt a pang of sadness seeing Li Xiangyi like this, but thinking of Li Lianhua from the original TV series, compared to the Li Xiangyi crying in Lingpo's arms now, she realized that the current Li Xiangyi was better. After all, only children who are loved cry.

Li Xiangyi cried for a while, gradually calming down. He lifted his head from Ling Po's embrace, intending to tell his master and mistress not to worry about him. Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he met Hong Fei's bright, sparkling eyes, which were staring at him with great interest. When she saw that he had noticed, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

Li Xiangyi sat up straight immediately, his face turning as red as a tomato, practically steaming. The current Li Xiangyi was not the Li Lianhua who would suffer so much later; he was still quite thin-skinned.

Seeing Li Xiangyi's flushed face, Hongfei didn't go too far. She turned around and found a stool to sit down.

Seeing that Hong Fei was no longer staring at him, Li Xiangyi slowly relaxed. He had truly forgotten that Hong Fei was still there, and in his moment of sadness, he couldn't help but lose face.

However, Li Xiangyi was, after all, the leader of the Si Gu Sect. Although he wasn't exactly thick-skinned, he wasn't exactly thin either. He was only embarrassed for a moment, but quickly adjusted his mindset.

Li Xiangyi looked at his master, Qi Mushan, and asked, "Master, how are you feeling?"

Seeing that Li Xiangyi had calmed down, Qi Mushan replied with relief, "It's alright. He took the medicine the little girl gave him. And with the internal energy you passed on to your master, he's much better now. As long as he takes good care of himself, he'll be fine. Don't worry."

"It's good that you're alright." Li Xiangyi felt a little better after hearing his master say that everything was alright.

He looked again at Shan Gudao's corpse, his eyes filled with sorrow. Li Xiangyi stood up, walked to Shan Gudao's body, knelt down, and took the Junior Master Sword from the corpse, placing it aside. Looking at Shan Gudao's body, he asked Qi Mushan, "Master, Senior Brother~"

Before Li Xiangyi could finish asking, Qi Mushan sighed and said sadly, "He told me that you and Di Feisheng were dueling when you fell into the East Sea and needed someone to rescue you. In my haste, I suffered a qi deviation, and to get him to rescue you, I transferred my internal energy to him. Unexpectedly, after I transferred my internal energy to him, he told me that he had deliberately provoked me, and I angrily rebuked him. I never expected that he would try to kill me. Just as he was about to attack me, you arrived and accidentally killed him."

"I didn't expect it to be my senior brother. When I arrived, I saw someone trying to harm you, Master. In a moment of panic, I killed them," Li Xiangyi said, still feeling sad.

"Xiangyi, it's not your fault. He brought this upon himself," Qi Mushan comforted Li Xiangyi.

"But senior brother, why would you do this?" This was something Li Xiangyi couldn't understand. In his eyes, his senior brother had always been a good one. Why would he do something so disloyal and treacherous?

"I don't know either." Qi Mushan couldn't understand it either. Why did Shan Gudao become like this?

"I told you Shan Gu Dao wasn't a good person, but you didn't believe me?" Granny Ling said angrily.

"But..." Upon hearing Granny Ling's words, Qi Mushan wanted to say something but didn't finish. He just frowned and pondered, just like Li Xiangyi.

Hongfei looked at them helplessly; they had forgotten about her again. She had already said she knew, but no one asked. Was her presence really that insignificant?

"I told you, why didn't you ask me? I know all along." After drawing everyone's attention to her, Hong Fei raised her hand and shook it at Li Xiangyi and the others.

Qi Mushan was the first to ask, "Little girl, do you know?"

“I know! And my name is Hong Fei, not ‘little girl’,” Hong Fei said confidently.

Li Xiangyi followed up by asking, "You know about Red Jade, so can you tell us about it?"

“Sure, there’s nothing wrong with saying it,” Hongfei readily agreed.

Li Xiangyi then asked, "So what exactly happened?"

"It's a long story. Aren't you going to offer me a cup of tea?" Hong Fei said, licking her lips.

Granny Ling then remembered that Hong Fei was a guest. She and her husband, along with Xiang Yi, hadn't even greeted Hong Fei; it was truly impolite. She quickly said, "Oh, we're so sorry. We forgot about what happened earlier, Miss Hong Fei. We're so sorry. I'll go prepare some tea right away." With that, she hurried out.

After Ling Po left, Hong Fei looked at Li Xiangyi and his apprentice and said, "We're going to talk here. Hmm, you don't need to~" Hong Fei pointed to Shan Gu Dao's corpse and continued, "Take care of it."
