Quick Transmigration: The Villainous Female Supporting Character Became the Male Lead's Beloved

Later, when he reached adulthood, the original owner came to retrieve the core. Only then did he realize what was happening, and his desperate fight resulted in mutual destruction, causing the demonic energy sealed within his body to overflow.

Shen Zhaoshu lost both his parents and was bullied by the disciples of the immortal clan. He also loved someone but could not have him. His most respected master saved him only to kill him and extract his demon core. In short, this is the tragic life of the male protagonist.

So he turned to the dark side, disappearing from the immortal realm. Not long after, he rebuilt the demon realm, refining elixirs to improve his cultivation. Given time, he directly attacked the immortal realm and kidnapped the female protagonist, Ye Lai.

If it weren't for the female lead's intervention, the wicked master would have been killed on the spot.

Ni Qing was waiting for Ye Lai to return to the mountain in three months. These days, she had been diligently teaching Shen Zhao calligraphy, but it was all small-scale and impractical. She didn't know if he had noticed.

She stood in her courtyard, not far from a newly built bamboo house where Shen Zhaoshu usually rested.

While Shen Zhaoshu was still practicing his magic, she slowly walked into her room and took out the strange and evil manual.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary book. The page with the Demon Pill has a corner carefully folded and an annotation. The other pages are all new, but that one page looks like it has been turned countless times and looks tattered.

She placed the book in a prominent position.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Lai and the others finally returned, covered in dust, along with Qi Mingjue, who had no cultivation whatsoever.

The three immortals greeted us at the mountain gate early in the morning.

They were dressed in a mess, like a group of beggars, their white robes almost turning gray.

"Why are you all in such a sorry state?" Bodhi asked, puzzled. Even when the three of them went down the mountain together back then, they weren't in such a terrible state.

Xiu Chen's gaze fell on Qi Mingjue, then suddenly stopped, his tone unusually serious: "Why do you seem to have no cultivation at all?"

Only Ni Qing replied calmly, "It's not just that he looks like a cripple."

Qi Mingjue's already gloomy face grew even more somber. He suddenly shifted his gaze to Shen Zhaoshu behind Ni Qing, his voice filled with fervor: "My esteemed immortals, you must avenge me! It's all the fault of this demon race that I lost my cultivation!"

Shen Zhaoshu pursed his lips slightly and glanced at Ni Qing's reaction.

The white-robed immortal stood there indifferently, seemingly uninterested in the fact that his cultivation had been destroyed.

"Oh? What makes you say that?" The two immortals' expressions turned cold for a moment, becoming extremely serious.

Ye Lai no longer looked as radiant as before. These past few days, she had been brainwashed by Qi Mingjue, and she was extremely irritable. Her round eyes glared angrily: "Junior Brother Shen, did you do this! Why did you leave the team without permission after that day?"

Although she didn't like Qi Mingjue, their strength was generally average to begin with, and one of the few Golden Core cultivators had his cultivation crippled. Taking care of him, this burden, for the next three months made things even more difficult.

Moreover, he never gave her a definite answer.

Even if her strength is low, she shouldn't be unable to teach a Qi Refining stage cultivator like Shen Zhaoshu. She doesn't know what he's refusing.

Qi Mingjue gritted his teeth, his hatred blazing: "After we came down the mountain that day, we stayed at an inn, and he attacked me the next day."

Ni Qing felt two extremely resentful gazes fixed on her. She glanced at Bodhi and Xiu Chen, already calm and collected: "There are so many disciples, why did he attack you in public?"

Qi Mingjue had always taken good care of Shen Changsu, and now that his cultivation had been crippled by someone else, he was reaping what he sowed. At first, she thought he had been attacked by that unknown force from the original storyline.

It seems this part was also cut off by the butterfly effect as the male lead was seriously injured.

But was it really Shen Zhaoshu who injured him? She glanced at the black-clad youth out of the corner of her eye and instantly became certain that it was still possible.

After all, he's full of bad intentions.

The boy in black noticed his master's gaze, and his throat tightened slightly. If he were discovered, how would Immortal Venerable Wangyue treat him? Would he stand up for Qi Mingjue, or openly show favoritism?

Immortal Venerable Xiuchen felt this matter was very serious. He said sternly, "Everyone go to the main hall and speak one by one. Do not omit any details. If it was really Shen Zhaoshu who did it, I believe Immortal Venerable Wangyue would not have acted out of favoritism."

He silently passed the pressure on to Ni Qing.

The white-robed girl's light brown eyes remained unchanged, seemingly without objection. Bodhi breathed a sigh of relief; if this girl were to criticize them in front of all the disciples again, they wouldn't be able to handle it.

Shen Zhaoshu lowered his gaze, his expression unreadable.

Before they could even change their clothes, they were summoned to the main hall.

The seats were arranged according to cultivation level, so as soon as Ni Qing entered, she sat comfortably in the main seat, with Bodhi and Xiu Chen on her left and right respectively.

In the center of the main hall, the white-robed disciple stood on the left, while Shen Zhaoshu, dressed in black, stood silently on the right.

The middle line, like a sharp dividing line, isolated the boy on the other side, making him look extremely helpless.

Ni Qing glanced at the Crown Prince, who was feigning pitifulness, and casually propped her chin on her hand, lazily saying, "Since this matter concerns my disciple, I will personally clean up the mess. However, before that, I still have a few questions."

Qi Ming stared at her intently, then suddenly knelt down with a thud, kowtowing to the cold ground, his tone sincere: "Please, Immortal Venerable, investigate thoroughly."

"First point," she began slowly under the eager gazes of the crowd, looking down at them, "Did any other disciples witness this?"

The disciples looked at each other, their faces full of hesitation.

"It seems not." She had the air of someone who could make a quick and decisive judgment.

Qi Mingjue quickly replied, "That day, all the other junior brothers were resting, only Junior Brother Shen and I were there."

They were afraid that Ni Qing would turn and leave at any moment.

Her expression remained unchanged: "Then where are you?"

"In the Gale Forest not far away."

This location does match, and Ni Qing unconsciously frowned.

She continued, "Why are you in the Gale Forest? Given my disciple's cultivation level, he shouldn't dare to enter such a dangerous place rashly."

Qi Mingjue's eyes flickered secretly: "Because I heard that there are powerful spirit beasts deep in the forest, and their beast cores are priceless, Junior Brother Shen insisted on going with me after hearing this."

The next second, the white-robed immortal slammed his hand on the table and sneered, "He went to his death with you? If I hadn't gone to look for him that day, he would have been buried under the teeth of beasts long ago. Why didn't I see you that day?"

He fainted on the spot after the fall.

Shen Zhaoshu silently added in his mind.

Bodhi Immortal and Xiu Chen were startled by the commotion, instinctively straightening up and stammering, "Hey, hey, hey! No personal emotions allowed!"

Ni Qing said "Oh," silently put away her reddened palms, and spoke again, throwing out her trump card: "One last question, how did he attack you?"

Qi Mingjue immediately felt guilty. He had fallen into a coma and didn't know whether it was the miasma in the forest that had entered his body or the work of Shen Zhaoshu.
