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

Lin Yitang turned her head and immediately felt unlucky.

Ye Qiuli!

How did she notice me?

"Junior Sister Lin!" Ye Qiuli walked quickly to Lin Yitang, her eyes slightly red, looking both touched and surprised. "I thought I would never see you again. Master expelled you from the inner sect, and I was really worried about how you were doing."

His tone was full of concern, but Lin Yitang sensed something amiss.

She sneered inwardly, but didn't show it on her face. She simply smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister Ye. I'm doing very well. But you, Junior Sister Ye, look quite thin. Could it be that your cultivation has been too strenuous?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiuli's expression stiffened for a moment, then quickly returned to its pitiful state. "Junior Sister Lin is joking. How can I compare to you? You are exceptionally talented, and even though you are not in the inner sect, you can still make a name for yourself through your own efforts. I, on the other hand, am just mediocre, and I have only achieved what I have today thanks to the care of my master and senior brothers and sisters."

She paused, her gaze lingering on Lin Yitang: "Actually, I've always envied Junior Sister Lin. You are exceptionally talented and deserve a much wider world. Although you're not in the inner sect now, I believe that with your strength, you will definitely be able to carve out your own niche."

Her voice was soft, with a touch of sadness in it, as if she were lamenting for Lin Yitang, or as if she were showing off her own superiority.

Lin Yitang sneered inwardly. This Ye Qiuli was indeed a master; with just a few words, she had praised the other person to a high position while subtly belittling herself. If she didn't have the original owner's memories, she probably would have been fooled by her acting skills.

However, there were indeed people around who believed in her acting skills. Their eyes were full of admiration and respect as they looked at Ye Qiuli.

"Senior Sister Ye is truly beautiful inside and out, caring so much about everyone. She actually went all the way from the inner sect to the outer sect to see a junior sister who was expelled from the inner sect," a cultivator exclaimed.

“Yes, on the other hand, Lin Yitang is really ungrateful. Senior Sister Ye is so concerned about her, and she still acts so sarcastic.” Another cultivator chimed in.

Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, a young male cultivator stepped forward. He was dressed in the robes of an outer disciple, but his eyes revealed arrogance and disdain.

"Lin Yitang, don't push your luck!"

He pointed at Lin Yitang, his tone full of reproach, "Senior Sister Ye came to see you out of kindness, and how did you speak to her? Do you think that just because you were expelled from the inner sect, you can do whatever you want?"

Lin Yitang glanced at the male cultivator and recognized him as Chen Qi, Ye Qiuli's little fanboy.

Although Chen Qi was an outer disciple, in the original book he was Ye Qiuli's errand boy and promoter, doing a lot for Ye Qiuli, such as fetching pills, delivering messages, and managing shops, and was deeply trusted by Ye Qiuli.

Whenever Ye Qiuli defeated a powerful opponent, he was always the first to cheer, explaining Ye Qiuli's moves to others and marveling at Ye Qiuli's strength. When Lin Yitang read the article, he always felt that he was like a shill at an auction.

Now they're suddenly standing up for Ye Qiuli.

Lin Yitang said calmly, "Senior brother, you can't say that. I'm just stating the facts. You, on the other hand, are being far too sensitive."

"Tell the truth?"

Chen Qi's face darkened, and he sneered, his tone full of disdain, "You dare to say that? So weak, I don't know how you became a personal disciple. You're a disgrace to our Senior Sister Ye!"

"If others knew that our Senior Sister Ye's junior sister was someone like you, wouldn't they laugh their heads off? I think you're just jealous of Senior Sister, jealous that she's more talented than you, so you're making sarcastic remarks here!"

Lin Yitang frowned as she listened to Chen Qi's insults. She hadn't wanted to lower herself to his level, but his words had displeased her.

"Senior brother, don't speak so confidently. It's still too early to tell who's stronger or weaker. But you, constantly talking about losing face, are underestimating people too much."

"Underestimate? I think you need to be taught a lesson! Come on, let's go outside and have a fight. I want to see what gives you the right to spout nonsense here!"

Chen Qi seemed to have been hit where it hurt, his face instantly turning bright red, and he got up and walked towards the door.

Lin Yitang also got angry, and after a while, everyone left the classroom and went to the martial arts hall of Taique Sect.

The Martial Arts Hall is the only place within the sect where disciples are allowed to spar. Fighting among fellow disciples is forbidden within the Tai Que Sect. Therefore, the Martial Arts Hall has become an important place to resolve conflicts and disputes and determine the winner based on strength.

In the center of the martial arts hall was a vast arena, and at this moment, the edges of the arena were filled with disciples watching the excitement.

Many of them were outer disciples who had just come from their classes and had come to watch the spectacle. All eyes were focused on the center of the martial arts arena, watching Lin Yitang and Chen Qi confront each other.

At this moment, the people who were originally in the martial arts hall were also attracted and asked what had happened.

The disciples who came from the classroom all offered their explanations: Lin Yitang, who had just been expelled from the inner sect, had a conflict with Chen Qi, an outer sect disciple, and they were going to have a duel here.

The people in the martial arts hall gasped, wondering if Lin Yitang had gone mad to challenge Chen Qi to a duel.

It should be noted that Chen Qi was quite famous in the outer sect. He had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining at the young age of twenty and was hailed as a genius among the outer sect disciples.

Although Lin Yitang had reached the fifth level of Qi Refining at the age of fifteen, she was still two major realms behind Chen Qi. How could she possibly defeat him?

"This Lin Yitang is really overestimating herself. She actually dares to challenge Senior Brother Chen. Does she think that she can beat Chen Qi, who is at the fifth level of Qi Refining? She's not Senior Sister Ye." An outer disciple shook his head, his tone full of disdain.

"Exactly, does she think she's still an inner disciple? She's nothing but a piece of trash now. I heard she hasn't broken through for four whole years, she's definitely going to be stuck here for life," another outer disciple chimed in.

"I heard she used to cause trouble a lot in the inner sect, so her expulsion this time is entirely her own fault. Senior Brother Chen is the pride of our outer sect, with formidable strength. What does Lin Yitang have to compare with him?"

"But since she dared to take on the challenge, she might have some real skills. After all, Senior Sister Lin was once an inner disciple and a direct disciple of Danfu Peak."

"Come on, with her strength, she's not even worth a finger of Senior Brother Chen. Senior Brother Chen often tells us about what happened on Danfu Peak, especially how Lin Yitang bullied Senior Sister Ye. Senior Brother Chen already knows her strength very well. Senior Brother Chen dares to issue a challenge because he believes he can win."

Amidst the murmurs of discussion, the two fighters on the ring began to make their moves.
