Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 453 - 5: You Stole My Man (Part 5)

Su Ying was deeply touched, but she felt a bit guilty inside. In her possession were quite a few good things, not just mid-grade spirit stones, but even high-grade ones.

She knew that mid-grade spirit stones were quite precious among ordinary disciples. Her husband was so "selfless," yet she hid secrets, leaving her feeling somewhat regretful.

It’s just that her cultivation system was indeed extraordinary. She merely had Five Spirit Roots, yet Yuan had a Single Spirit Root, making him even more formidable.

If it weren’t for the system, she might have fallen far behind Yuan, which she was not willing to do. Only by keeping pace with Yuan or making Yuan follow her could she feel more secure.

No matter where it is, relying on oneself is far more reliable than depending on others.

So some secrets should remain known only to oneself.

Yu Yuan returned to the sect, and Su Ying began her cultivation.

However, the two had already agreed that if there was a good place for training, they would go together.

Su Ying had a system at hand, and Yu Yuan also had genuine abilities.

When the two teamed up, they indeed acquired plenty of good things, and their luck was exceedingly good.

With various resources, their cultivation speed increased significantly, and their entry into various secret realms and perilous places benefited them greatly.

Yu Yuan had a Nascent Soul Pill in hand and consumed it shortly thereafter, achieving Nascent Soul Formation directly.

Su Ying followed closely behind.

With greatly increased cultivation, naturally the places they were able to visit expanded.

Five years later, Yu Yuan’s cultivation had reached Nascent Soul Sixth Layer. He felt triumphant, believing that his cultivation, at his age within the sect, was indeed noteworthy.

The day Li Shuning ignored him, let her regret it.

These years, Yu Yuan had been outside, spending time with Su Ying, and was naturally unaware of Li Shuning’s news.

When he encountered Li Shuning, he only discovered she had already reached the Divinity Transformation Third Layer by overhearing disciples whispering nearby.

All of a sudden, it felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him, instantly awakening him. He had planned to flaunt his increased strength in front of Li Shuning, hoping to show her what talent she had given up.

Mysteriously, he felt somewhat grateful for meeting Li Shuning prematurely, or else when he went to boast, he probably would have been laughed to death.

No matter how he chased, no matter how talented he was, he still couldn’t compare.

Following several more years, even though Yu Yuan and Su Ying were improving quickly enough, Li Shuning was always ahead of them.

Yu Yuan inexplicably developed a desire for conquest, feeling unwilling unless he conquered this woman.

Such obsession actually left a heart demon, which might cause trouble during future tribulations.

These were not Li Shuning’s concerns, though.

Li Shuning emerged from seclusion to seek her parents.

Upon seeing Li Shuning, the Sect Leader’s Wife sighed: "Ning’er, it’s fortunate you didn’t agree to become Dao Companions with Yu Yuan back then. That boy appeared honest, but he actually had a wife when he was still a mortal, yet he never mentioned it. When asked if he had a beautiful family at home, he said he didn’t."

"You’ve emerged from seclusion and become a Nascent Soul Cultivator. We didn’t seek him out, but he probably understood himself and sought out his wife. Such a person is really good at pretending."

The Sect Leader’s Wife was indignant and somewhat frightened. Had Ning’er not firmly refused then, he might have truly become Ning’er’s Dao Companion. Later, if a mortal wife appeared, it would not only disgrace the Xuantian Sect but also slap Ning’er’s face.

Yu Yuan frequently went outside these years and was always accompanied by a woman during his adventures, naturally being spotted by sect disciples.

The day Li Shuning revealed Su Ying’s location was like setting a trap for Yu Yuan, waiting for the right moment to expose it.

The matter of Yu Yuan having a wife, the rest of the sect might let it go, but among female cultivators, many hearts were shattered. The Third Elder, the Sect Leader, and his wife, as well as some high-ranking members, were acutely aware, further doubting Yu Yuan’s character.

Initially, Yu Yuan was exceedingly eager regarding forming a Dao bond. Such personality, or perhaps because of Li Shuning’s status, Yu Yuan’s actions appeared overly opportunistic.

Li Shuning merely chuckled, knowing about the matter, as she orchestrated it herself: "Mother, don’t be angry. It’s not worth it for such a person. Besides, having no ties with that person only warrants caution towards them. This person is quite calculative, having a wife yet frequently appearing before me."

Yu Yuan recently noticed the sect members looked at him oddly, leaving him puzzled.

Until a junior sister tearfully questioned if he indeed had a wife did he realize his affair with Su Ying had been spread. He felt frightened, fearing the consequences if the Sect Leader knew, but after observing, it seemed the Sect Leader had yet to act.

Yu Yuan felt relieved, though previously ambiguous with female disciples, now none paid him any mind.

Yu Yuan felt deeply frustrated and departed the sect, continuing training with Su Ying.

Each time, he would speak about Li Shuning, praising her as a genius.

Su Ying harbored considerable hostility towards Li Shuning.

Yu Yuan had indeed stirred considerable animosity against Li Shuning.

The pair conversed, suspecting Li Shuning possessed great treasures, hence her rapid cultivation.

Years later, when Li Shuning reached the peak of Divinity Transformation Stage, the mysterious secret realm appeared.

As in the plot, the Sect Leader and his wife prepared to go personally.

Li Shuning, however, went to stop them.

"Father, Mother, let me handle the secret realm expedition."

The Sect Leader frowned slightly: "Ning’er, the new secret realm is not fully understood, likely dangerous. Best if your mother and I go."

Li Shuning replied with a smile: "Father, precisely because of danger should your daughter handle this. Currently, the sect is understaffed regarding strength. If you and Mother left, any incident would be problematic."

"Besides, your daughter has reached the peak of Divinity Transformation Stage. What is there to worry about, knowing your daughter is stronger than you?"

"You cheeky girl."

The Sect Leader gave a wry smile and eventually agreed with Li Shuning. Indeed, the new secret realm posed threats yet promised great opportunities. Their departure would leave no one in charge of the sect, not ideal.

Li Shuning breathed a sigh of relief.

In the plot, both went yet perished. This time, she would prevent it, though life’s unpredictability meant unforeseen events could happen. Alone, regardless of circumstances, she still had a chance to venture into the mission’s small world, while the Sect Leader couple would face certain death if lost.
