The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

The male cultivator felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body covered in cold sweat, after Lin Yitang's words exposed his secret.

A storm raged within him, a thousand thoughts flashing through his mind, leaving him momentarily at a loss for how to react.

Lin Yitang actually knew that Senior Sister Ye Qiuli was behind it all. How could she know this? Could it be... that he slipped up somewhere? No, that's impossible!

He was just an insignificant outer disciple of Danfu Peak, and had no connection with Lin Yitang. How could she possibly recognize him?

So the male cultivator suppressed his inner panic, tried his best to maintain his composure, and asked in feigned ignorance:

"What do you mean by that, Senior Sister? This disciple is dull-witted and truly doesn't understand what you're talking about. What do you mean by Senior Sister Ye Qiuli instructing me? This disciple is completely baffled. Besides, this disciple isn't from Danfu Peak. Could it be that Senior Sister has mistaken me for someone else?"

As he spoke, the male cultivator straightened his back and tried his best to appear open and honest in order to hide his inner anxiety.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yitang couldn't help but laugh.

She shook her head, pointing helplessly to the token at the male cultivator's waist, and said, "Junior brother, there should be a limit to lying. Before you lie, at least cover up that Danfu Peak disciple token at your waist. The information on the token has already been exposed."

Actually, she had already noticed that the male cultivator was a disciple of Danfu Peak, and had always suspected that he might be Ye Qiuli's subordinate. So she tried to trick him, and it turned out he really was.

Upon hearing this, the male cultivator's expression changed drastically.

He instinctively reached for the token at his waist. Only then did he realize the grave mistake he had made—the information on the token, though small, was still easily visible to anyone with a discerning eye. How could he have been so careless, overlooking even such a detail!

He cursed inwardly, "It's over! I'm exposed! With this token, my identity is known! Now everything I've done is for nothing."

Cold sweat poured down his back. His hands trembled, and he didn't know what to do.

Lin Yitang took in the male cultivator's embarrassed state, a slight smile playing on her lips. She understood immediately; this male cultivator was indeed Ye Qiuli's man. It seemed Ye Qiuli's influence was even greater than she had imagined.

After listening to the male cultivator's sophistry, she sneered, slowly walked up to him, looked down at him, and spoke with a hint of coldness in her voice.

"What exactly is Junior Sister Ye's intention in sending you here? Tell me, and I might spare your life. I don't believe she just sent you to say a few words; that's not her style."

Lin Yitang snorted coldly, "Are you trying to use this third-tier demonic beast to get rid of me, this thorn in your side? Or is there some other ulterior motive?"

The male cultivator was intimidated by Lin Yitang's imposing aura, his face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

He forced himself to remain calm, and said stiffly, "Senior Sister Lin is joking. How could Senior Sister Ye do such a thing? We are fellow disciples, how could she possibly harm you?"

"Fellow disciples?" Lin Yitang scoffed, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. "If she really considered me a fellow disciple, why would she set up so many traps to lure me in? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? We have so many grudges between us, and now she says she won't harm me? Who would believe that?"

The male cultivator was speechless, opening his mouth but unable to find a way to defend himself. Seeing this, Lin Yitang sneered and continued, "Let me ask you, how did this third-tier demonic beast appear here? Logically, the outer beast tide shouldn't have any demonic beasts higher than the second tier. Yet, it suddenly appeared just as our inner disciples came to provide support. Can you explain that?"

The male cultivator was already flustered by Lin Yitang's step-by-step reasoning, and was now speechless when questioned.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he felt incredibly guilty, but he still forced himself to say, "This...this is just a coincidence. Senior Sister Lin is being far too suspicious."

"Coincidence?" Lin Yitang sneered. "I think it was clearly someone's doing this on purpose! Junior Sister Ye is quite the schemer. First, she used tricks to get me to join the support team, and then she secretly released this third-tier demonic beast to try and kill me. If I hadn't been hiding some tricks, I would be the one who's going to die now."

"I thought Ye Qiuli would have limits when it came to harming people, but I never expected that she would go so far as to kill an entire group of disciples in order to harm me. Her intentions are truly vicious."

The male cultivator's face turned deathly pale. He never expected that Lin Yitang would deduce the truth of the whole incident so easily.

This is bad, very bad!

Veins bulged on his forehead, as if he had given up after being punctured. He gritted his teeth and said, "So what? Even if you know it was Senior Sister Ye who did it, so what? You have no evidence. Senior Sister Ye's plan is flawless. You can't do anything to her!"

"Are you planning to harm Senior Sister Ye again? I advise you to think it over carefully. You have harmed Senior Sister Ye countless times in front of everyone. If you don't stop now, aren't you afraid of being branded as someone who harms fellow disciples!"

Lin Yitang seemed amused by the male cultivator, shook her head, and said with pity, "Silly junior brother, you're right, I don't have any evidence, but... have you forgotten that I always have the habit of carrying a recording jade with me?"

"I recorded everything you just said, word for word. Doesn't that count as evidence?"

Upon hearing this, the male cultivator's pupils constricted sharply, as if struck by lightning. His eyes widened; could it be... that his words acknowledging Senior Sister Ye's actions had also been recorded in their entirety?

No, not possible!

Lin Yitang only just found out his identity, so when did she start taking pictures? He clearly didn't see her make a move!

However, before the male cultivator could explain, Lin Yitang delivered a chop to the back of his neck.

The male cultivator groaned and collapsed softly to the ground, his eyes rolling back as he fainted. Lin Yitang frowned in disgust, grabbed his ankle, and dragged him towards the center of the enclosure.

There's no way around it, this guy is just too noisy, it's best to let him quiet down for a while. This is the only way to get him to shut up.

However, it was thanks to this male cultivator's incessant chatter that she obtained extremely important information. Ye Qiuli would never have imagined that her subordinate had betrayed her. Now, there was no need for witnesses or physical evidence; all she needed to do was find an opportunity to expose Ye Qiuli.

Thinking of this, Lin Yitang felt much better, and her steps became lighter. She dragged the male cultivator along without any obstacles to the perimeter of the central area. After confirming that no one was around, she casually tossed the unconscious male cultivator aside and patted the Soul-Nourishing Wood hidden in her clothes.

"Senior Sister Jiang, come out."

As the call arose, a phantom figure slowly emerged from the Soul-Nourishing Wood. It was Jiang Qiushuang's soul.

"Well done."

After learning the details, Jiang Qiushuang nodded approvingly and praised Lin Yitang, saying, "In this way, we have obtained a small handle on Ye Qiuli."

Lin Yitang smiled, her tone revealing regret: "But it's just a minor weakness, not enough to shake Ye Qiuli's position. I can keep it for now and use it later when the opportunity arises."

Jiang Qiushuang nodded in agreement: "That's right. Although this male cultivator knows some inside information, he is ultimately just a pawn of Ye Qiuli. He only knows about this one matter. To bring down Ye Qiuli, we still need a human."

Lin Yitang pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "By the way, Senior Sister Jiang, how's your recovery going lately?"

Jiang Qiushuang replied, "Very good. Thanks to the ghost energy of those ghost cultivators, I have now basically stabilized at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and I don't need to cultivate much anymore."

"Moreover, when I'm not immersed in cultivation inside the Soul-Nourishing Wood, I can see what's happening outside and even sense the aura outside. Ghost cultivators' abilities are very concealed; they won't notice when they sense others."
