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

Nie Muqing feigned shyness and said, "It's nothing. I just asked Senior Sister Ye to say a few words to the Golden Core Elder. As a Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator, I am capable of leading the outer sect team. Is there any problem?"

Seeing Lin Yitang about to leave, Nie Muqing chuckled again: "Could it be that Senior Sister is planning to go to a Golden Core cultivator to request a change of team leader? It's no use. Once the team leader is decided, it cannot be changed. Besides, with such a bad reputation in the inner sect, what qualifications do you have to be the team leader?"

"You'd better just follow my instructions. I'll take good care of you. After all, Senior Sister Ye instructed me to be gentle with you. I can't be so disrespectful to her former junior sister."

Lin Yitang turned around and smiled at Nie Muqing, "You say it's useless to look for someone, but how will you know if you don't try? Don't you think about what the consequences would be if the sect found out that Ye Qiuli was maliciously controlling the allocation of personnel for sect missions?"

Nie Muqing's expression changed, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "You're overthinking it, Senior Sister Lin. Even if you go and complain, what can you do? Senior Sister Ye's status and connections in the sect are not something you can shake. Besides, this personnel allocation was personally arranged by a Golden Core cultivator. Do you think the sect would question a Golden Core cultivator's decision for your sake?"

Lin Yitang snorted coldly: "Is the decision of a Golden Core cultivator necessarily correct? I'm going to try it out and see if this sect values ​​rules or personal relationships! Junior Sister Nie, just wait and see the show."

After saying that, Lin Yitang left without looking back.

She went directly to the sect's deacon disciples to inquire who was in charge of this mission at the highest level.

Unexpectedly, they were quite lucky. The person in charge of this sect's disciple recruitment conference happened to be the Second Elder, who was also the peak master of Lingcao Peak and Fan Niannian's master.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yitang went straight to the Second Elder's residence. She knew that only by finding the person in charge at the very top could the problem be truly solved.

Soon, Lin Yitang arrived at the Second Elder's residence. She took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door knocker.

"Come in." A steady voice came from inside the room.

Lin Yitang pushed open the door and entered, only to see the Second Elder sitting upright behind his desk, holding a scroll of sect affairs in his hand, which he was reviewing.

She stepped forward quickly and bowed respectfully: "Second Elder, your disciple Lin Yitang has something to report."

The Second Elder put down the scroll in his hand and looked up at Lin Yitang: "What is it?"

Lin Yitang told the Second Elder the whole story, including how Ye Qiuli took the captain's position that should have belonged to her, and the possible improper means behind it.

After hearing this, the Second Elder frowned, a look of surprise on his face: "Is this really true?"

He pondered for a moment, then instructed his disciples, "Investigate immediately to see if there are any problems with the personnel allocation for this apprentice recruitment mission. In particular, make sure to find out if Ye Qiuli and Nie Muqing have violated any rules."

The disciple accepted the order and left, returning soon with the results of his investigation.

It turned out that Ye Qiuli had indeed pulled strings behind the scenes. She used her connections and resources to secretly manipulate the personnel allocation, squeezing out some promising disciples and replacing them with her own confidants.

Not only in Lin Yitang's group, but she also tampered with other groups, just to exclude people she disliked and torment those who had offended Ye Qiuli's people.

After hearing the investigation results, the Second Elder's face turned ashen. He slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "This is utterly lawless! Ye Qiuli's actions not only violate the sect's rules but also tarnish the reputation of my Taique Sect!"

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "No, this matter must be reported to the Enforcement Peak so that the sect's Enforcement Hall can make a decision. Ye Qiuli and Nie Muqing's actions have violated the sect's rules and must be severely punished."

Lin Yitang nodded, pleased with the Second Elder's fairness.

The highest authority in a sect is the sect leader, followed by the elders. The Enforcement Peak is a department directly under the sect leader. Matters like Chen Qi's can be handled directly by the elders, but not by the sect leader, who must make the final decision for a disciple of an elder like Ye Qiuli.

The Second Elder immediately wrote a letter reporting the matter to the Enforcement Peak. At the same time, he also ordered a suspension of the personnel allocation for the disciple-acceptance task, pending the Enforcement Peak's investigation of the truth before making a decision.

The news immediately sparked a flurry of discussion within the sect. Ye Qiuli and Nie Muqing were particularly uneasy, fearing that their scheme would be exposed.

Enforcement Peak acted swiftly, sending people to investigate the matter shortly afterward. Faced with overwhelming evidence, Ye Qiuli and Nie Muqing finally bowed their heads and admitted their violations.

Ultimately, the Enforcement Hall ruled that Ye Qiuli, Nie Muqing, and the others must retreat to the back mountain for three months and are not allowed to leave.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Yitang breathed a sigh of relief. She could finally avoid Ye Qiuli for three months. Without the female lead's interference, she could finally have some peace and quiet.

However, Ye Qiuli's situation was far from pleasant. She was stunned when the Enforcement Peak investigated her, and only after asking Nie Muqing did she learn that it was Lin Yitang who was behind it all!

She almost ground her teeth to powder.

"Lin Yitang, you bitch!" Knowing the reason, Ye Qiuli's eyes turned red, and she wished she could devour Lin Yitang alive.

She cursed Lin Yitang a thousand times in the back mountain and secretly vowed in her heart that one day she would make Lin Yitang pay the price, make Lin Yitang kneel in front of her and beg for mercy, and make her let her go!

......

On the other side, Lin Yitang became the team leader under the new assignment of Golden Core cultivators.

She led over two hundred people onto a flying boat and set off in a grand procession towards the sect's southern territory.

On the flying boat, Lin Yitang stood at the bow, explaining the details of the mission to the outer disciples in front of him: "Fellow disciples, our mission to recruit disciples in the southern region is an important task entrusted to us by the sect. Before we reach our destination, I will first explain the specific mission content and personnel allocation to you."

Lin Yitang paused for a moment, then continued, "Our main task this time is to find people with spiritual roots in various cities and towns in the southern region and recruit them into our Taique Sect. Based on the geographical division, we will be divided into three directions, namely the southeast, due south and southwest."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a disciple raised his hand and asked, "Senior Sister, how do we determine if someone has spiritual roots? We don't have spirit-testing stones, so we can't just ask everyone we meet, can we?"

Lin Yitang smiled slightly and said, "That's a good question. Before we set off this time, the sect had already provided us with dozens of simple spirit-testing stones, which can test whether we have spiritual roots and their attributes. If they glow, we have spiritual roots; if they don't glow, we don't."

"Of course, the simple spirit-testing stone is different from the sect's regular spirit-testing stone. It cannot measure the more specific value of the spiritual root. We must bring those with spiritual roots back to the sect for more accurate testing. I will distribute the spirit-testing stones to you later. Please remember not to lose them."

Another disciple asked, "Senior sister, what should we do if we encounter other sects also recruiting disciples?"
