In the main hall of the peak.

There are reasons why Yuheng showed this attitude.

Ever since he saw Lin Yitang's performance, he has increasingly felt that Ye Qiuli is not good enough.

Lin Yitang defeated Mo Ziheng right under the noses of a large group of people, making her strength obvious. Ye Qiuli's strength, on the other hand, is mostly based on rumors from those around her; in reality, she has no combat record to prove her power.

Moreover, Lin Yitang has now caught up with Ye Qiuli's cultivation speed, which Yuheng was so proud of.

Now everyone in the Taique Sect says that Lin Yitang and Ye Qiuli are equally ranked as the number one genius in the Taique Sect. Other elders and peak masters have been mocking Yuheng about this for a long time. How can we not make him angry!

So even though he really wanted to continue to pamper Ye Qiuli, when he actually saw her, he immediately thought of these things and subconsciously compared her with Lin Yitang. Suddenly, he didn't want to pay attention to Ye Qiuli anymore.

Especially considering her disheveled appearance after returning from the back mountain, her attempts at being coquettish lacked any charm, and Yuheng had no desire to pamper her whatsoever.

He felt that Ye Qiuli was no match for Lin Yitang at all.

Lin Yitang is a true genius, while Ye Qiuli is nothing but a good-for-nothing who has been built up by resources.

However, Ye Qiuli was unaware of all of this.

All she knew was that her master wasn't as doting on her as before, and tears unconsciously streamed down her face. She wondered why her master had changed; he hadn't been like this before.

In the past, as long as she acted coquettishly, her master would grant her any request. Whether it was better cultivation resources or a more comfortable cultivation environment, her master would find a way to get it for her as long as she asked.

Sometimes, when she wanted resources that exceeded her allotted allowance, her master would try his best to help her obtain them or deduct them from Lin Yitang's allowance for her.

But now, her master is so cold to her.

Ye Qiuli felt uneasy.

She didn't understand why her master had suddenly become so distant. Was it because she had done something wrong? Or had her master found another disciple whom he valued more?

Ye Qiuli sobbed, already having some guesses in her mind.

She knew her master well; Yuheng was a very opportunistic person who only cared about the benefits his disciples brought him. Perhaps he saw that Lin Yitang was more outstanding than her and therefore sided with Lin Yitang.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiuli felt a surge of anger.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, yet she felt no pain. Her eyes turned cold and sharp, as if she wanted to tear Lin Yitang to pieces.

She hated Lin Yitang, hated that she was more talented than herself, and hated even more that she had taken away the attention and affection that should have belonged to her.

The hatred in her heart burned like a raging fire. She secretly vowed that one day she would make everyone know that she, Ye Qiuli, was the most favored person in the Taique Sect, and Lin Yitang was nothing!

Fueled by hatred, Ye Qiuli used the communication jade to contact a junior brother who admired her.

Her tone was gentle, as if the gloom from just moments ago had never existed: "Junior brother, is now a convenient time? I'd like you to help me investigate something."

Upon hearing Ye Qiuli's voice, the junior brother on the other end immediately replied excitedly, "Senior Sister, please speak freely. Do not hesitate to ask for anything you need."

Ye Qiuli smiled sweetly and said, "I want to know what Lin Yitang is doing right now."

The junior brother was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but quickly recovered and said, "Senior sister, please wait a moment, I will go and inquire right away."

A moment later, a message came from the junior brother: "Senior sister, Lin Yitang is preparing to take the assessment for the inner sect teaching class."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiuli's eyes lit up, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

She replied with a flicker of her consciousness, "Thank you, junior brother. You can continue with your work."

As Ye Qiuli put away the communication jade, her expression instantly turned cold.

She stood up and walked towards the inner classroom, pondering how to teach Lin Yitang a lesson.

Since Lin Yitang is going to take the assessment, she'll sabotage it and make Lin Yitang suffer. She'll let Lin Yitang know the consequences of offending her!

......

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Yitang, who was compressing spiritual energy in her cave, also received the message.

Li Lingxuan acted swiftly; she knew about it the moment Ye Qiuli left the cave.

"Senior Sister Lin, Ye Qiuli has made another move." Li Lingxuan's message was brief and direct.

Lin Yitang frowned slightly and replied, "Tell me, what kind of trouble has she gotten herself into this time?"

"According to my investigation, Ye Qiuli and her master seem to have had a conflict. Moreover, she just secretly spoke with one of her junior brothers, seemingly planning to sabotage you in the upcoming assessment."

Messages from Li Lingxuan came one after another, each carrying a hint of seriousness.

Lin Yitang was so angry she laughed when she saw the message.

This Ye Qiuli is really restless. The first thing she thought of after leaving the back mountain wasn't to cultivate and break through, but to take revenge. And she even wanted to sabotage her assessment. Did she think she was a weakling who wouldn't dare to fight back?

Having read many cultivation novels, she knew that such tampering was nothing more than swapping things, launching sneak attacks, or colluding with others.

She then asked Li Lingxuan what Ye Qiuli was planning to do. Li Lingxuan said, "It seems that she has conspired with a junior brother who was taking the exam at the same time to replace your question jade slip."

Lin Yitang's eyes turned slightly cold. It seemed Ye Qiuli intended to use such despicable methods to deal with her. However, Lin Yitang was not one to be trifled with. Since Ye Qiuli wanted to play dirty, she would play along.

So Lin Yitang quickly replied on the jade slip: "Then you should also find a disciple to collude with and replace the jade slip that Ye Qiuli was planning to replace with the one that was replaced. Don't tell anyone about this."

Li Lingxuan's message came quickly: "Yes, I'll take care of it right away."

Lin Yitang nodded and withdrew her divine sense. Ye Qiuli's little actions had no effect on her in the slightest. She still settled the little phoenix in an orderly manner and then went to the inner sect classroom.

There were still 25 minutes until the assessment, and only a few cultivators had arrived.

As soon as Lin Yitang entered, she saw a cultivator acting suspiciously, sitting in a corner and trying to minimize his presence.

She calmly sat down in her seat and closed her eyes to sense the spiritual energy. Sure enough, she noticed a faint, suspicious fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from the small table in front of her.

She secretly probed the table with her divine sense and discovered a small array inside.

Looking around, she saw that Shi Muyue and the others had arrived, so she sent a telepathic message to them to secretly use their divine sense to look at the array on her table and help her identify what it was.

After looking at it, none of them could explain what kind of formation it was, since they weren't from the Formation Peak.

Only Xu Xiping from Danfu Peak knew a little about it.

She secretly told Lin Yitang in a telepathic message: "This is a small teleportation array that can only transport small items, and it's a one-time use item; once it's used up, it's gone."
