I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 60
“Well, that’s…”
I’d always thought that even if I were exceptional, there would still be countless others far more outstanding in the world—and after what happened last time at the Seongchang Merchant Guild, I’d even realized that being outstanding meant nothing if you couldn’t actually use it. So, it couldn’t be helped.
But replying like this might seem like I was talking back, so I simply swallowed the words. Anyway, Grand Elder wasn’t really asking me for a reason—he just didn’t expect an answer from me.
“Of course, remaining calm like this is far superior to strutting about arrogantly without knowing heaven from earth. Still, I wonder how things might have turned out differently if you’d had more peers around you. Though, given that both of you have acted like adults since you were children, perhaps it wouldn’t have changed much after all.”
Grand Elder shrugged his shoulders and shifted the topic again.
“In any case, enlightenment isn’t something easily attained. Even if something seems trivial at first glance, don’t assume it truly is. There are far more people in this world who never achieve even the tiniest insight you occasionally gain through cultivation. Even moving your body entirely according to your own will isn’t something just anyone can do.”
Is that so?
Hearing it now, it did seem plausible. After all, in my previous life, I hadn’t been particularly skilled with my body either. Grand Elder, having finished speaking, lightly tapped the small wooden box containing the spirit pill with his fingertip.
“When you happen to gain insight, absorbing the energy of a spirit pill at that moment proves especially effective. Take it now—I’ll watch over you.”
Though he’d spoken at length, in the end, it simply meant: “You did well, so here’s a reward.”
Still, no matter what he said about practicality, this was undeniably a precious item—far beyond a simple gift. Considering Grand Elder was also the Head of the Medical Pavilion, his ability to personally craft spirit pills made this a privilege few could claim.
‘Perhaps my unique position within the sect plays a small part in this too.’
Various thoughts flickered through my mind before dissipating. Ultimately, since this was an opportunity, I had no reason to refuse it, so I expressed my gratitude.
“Yes, then I’ll gratefully accept it.”
“Good, good.”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
