After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 354 Doubt

Elder Kun agreed with Yang Jingjing's words: "If Yang Tuo really did such a thing, only the young master's status can directly issue a judgment order now."

Hongchen, who was listening nearby, was stunned. Upon hearing the word "judgment," he subconsciously shivered and looked at Xu Xingtian, who had remained silent all along: "Lord Xu, this..."

Xu Xingtian raised her hand, and when she realized what he was worried about, she shook her head and said with a half-smile, "I'm also very curious about this matter, so I plan to follow along. As for the Hong family head, you don't need to worry about Yang Tuo getting into trouble. The Hong family will be blamed by the Dafeng Clan. Jingjing has already been confirmed by the Dafeng Clan of the Upper Realm as the princess of the Dafeng Clan."

Lin Zhao subconsciously looked at Yang Jingjing, thinking to herself that the benefits of that storm were indeed considerable for her, in addition to the improvement in her cultivation, there was also the enhancement of her bloodline.

This has allowed Yang Jingjing, a young woman, to surpass many of her elders in status within the Dafeng Clan.

However, it is clear that this was something Lingtian Pavilion had intentionally planned for her.

Hongchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Jingjing didn't think too much about it. She looked at Lin Zhao and said, "Before we confirm some things, we can't show up in public. My aunt dealt with the people who spied on us. When the two elders and I came, we deliberately avoided the territory of Yehuang Auction House so that Yang Tuo wouldn't know. So, we'll have to rely on you to explore that teleportation array."

Lin Zhao nodded, "Of course." She paused, still intending to ask about it, and asked, "What is your relationship with Master Yang?"

Yang Jingjing's eyes revealed undisguised disgust: "He is my father's cousin."

According to blood relations, Yang Jingjing should call him her cousin.

However, Yang Jingjing's father, the good-for-nothing young master of Lingtian Pavilion who was never designated as the young master, married Xu Xingyi, a young lady with the bloodline of the Thunder Bird. After that, he kept having affairs and his cultivation did not improve. After his wife gave birth to their daughter, he felt that his wife and daughter had no future and no hope. He became even more unscrupulous in finding women outside and had many illegitimate children.

However, his wife, who came from a poor family and whom he looked down upon, quickly surpassed him in cultivation. He considered her to be just a good-for-nothing woman, but his own father soon granted her the qualification to become the young master of Lingtian Pavilion as long as she advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

Ever since Yang Jingjing demonstrated this talent, her biological father has brought her many younger brothers born to other women to visit her.

This made Yang Jingjing extremely disgusted with her biological father, and naturally she had no good feelings towards her father's side of the family, especially this Yang Tuo.

Others might not know what Yang Tuo had done in the capital to be kicked out, but she did.

Yang Tuo was expelled because he conspired with a disciple of another powerful force to kill a disciple of a transcendent force.

Although Lingtian Pavilion and the forces behind that disciple spent a lot of effort to resolve the matter, Yang Jingjing's father was subsequently beaten by the Pavilion Master of Lingtian Pavilion every three days and every two days for protecting his cousin. He was only spared death because of Yang Jingjing's sake.

Lin Zhao, however, was unaware of the key to this matter. After learning that Yang Tuo was actually Yang Jingjing's uncle, even though Yang Jingjing showed great disgust, she hesitated.

After all, they're family. Don't let things get halfway through and they soften their stance.

Knowing Lin Zhao's hesitation, Yang Jingjing said, "Don't worry, as long as he really does something to betray Lingtian Pavilion, I will send him and the ancestors of the Dafeng Clan to apologize."

Seeing this, Lin Zhao said, "The formation is one thing, but I have another question. Do you know that Master Yang harbors resentment?"

Yang Jingjing frowned.

The two elders were furious. Xu Xingtian looked over in surprise, and Hongchen's expression changed drastically as he reminded them, "Young Master Lin, you can't say such things carelessly."

Although Lingtian Pavilion has been very friendly to Lin Zhao, what if Lin Zhao acts and speaks recklessly because of this and completely offends Lingtian Pavilion? If a Nascent Soul cultivator harbors resentment, wouldn't that be blatantly saying that Yang Tuo of Lingtian Pavilion has done something against the righteous path and the natural order?

Just as the two elders were about to get angry, Yang Jingjing raised her hand to suppress them. She looked at Lin Zhao, and her expression gradually became serious.

Her goodwill and trust in Lin Zhao were based on seeing Lin Zhao's performance in the Greedy Wolf Secret Realm and on the premise that she could defeat Ji Wantang and prevent Lingtian Pavilion from being suppressed by the Bright Hall.

So far, Lin Zhao's actions have not conflicted with the interests of Lingtian Pavilion, which is why she has always stood by Lin Zhao's side.

However, Lin Zhao's claim that a leader of their Lingtian Pavilion harbored resentment was a completely different matter.

Yang Tuo may be greedy and lustful, but he must never violate the righteous path and the laws of nature.

A cultivator at the Integration Stage is bound by resentment, and likely has at least a thousand innocent lives protected by the Heavenly Dao on his hands. This angers the cause and effect of Heaven and Earth, causing these beings to condense into resentment after their deaths, resulting in this situation.

Such cultivators are more terrifying than demonic cultivators. At least demonic cultivators know they are on the demonic path and don't pretend or act; they are the opposite of the righteous path.

The fact that he could do something that defied the righteous path and the natural order, yet only be consumed by resentment without becoming a demon, shows that he fundamentally did not believe he was wrong.

They've already gone to the opposite side of the right path, yet they believe themselves to be completely innocent.

If Yang Tuoruo is really like this, it's absolutely terrifying.

The two elders wanted to refute, but Yang Jingjing suppressed them again.

She looked at Lin Zhao, memories of her father and Yang Tuo from back then flashing through her mind. Finally, she pursed her lips and said, "Investigate. If he really did what you said, then it won't be resolved by a judgment decree. I will personally send him to the altar of the Great Wind Clan."

Grandma Honghu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "Sending someone to the altar? This little girl is probably more than just a princess. However, she is also quite ruthless. Those phoenixes sent to the altar will be tormented by the killing aura within the altar until their souls are completely destroyed."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao's expression became more serious: "Thank you."

“But if it’s not true,” Yang Jingjing paused, a cold glint in her eyes, “it’s better to be careful with your words.”

As the young master of Lingtian Pavilion and a member of the royal family of the Dafeng Clan, once she was certain that she was in the right, Yang Jingjing would never back down in protecting her sect and family.

Lin Zhao naturally understood; "If it's fake, Lin Zhao will apologize to Lingtian Pavilion and Master Yang."

The two elders' expressions softened a bit, but Xu Xingtian showed no reaction. When the Hong family sent someone to take Yang Jingjing and the two elders to rest, only Xu Xingtian and Lin Zhao remained in the room. She looked at Lin Zhao and asked, "You can sense resentment?"

Lin Zhao shook her head: "It wasn't me."

It is Granny Honghu.

As a swan who wields the righteous energy, Granny Honghu is extremely sensitive to evil, resentful, and demonic energy—an innate ability of the Honghu clan.

Of course, when a cultivator reaches the True Immortal level, they can generally see the aura of cultivators with lower cultivation levels than themselves.

Xu Xingtian pursed her lips: "If you really want to investigate Yang Tuo, you can go to the second room in his residence. I used to have doubts about his behavior... but when I went to investigate, I almost lost my life there."
