So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Chapter 284: All Concern Leads to Chaos

With the rumbling sound of the carriage, the towering outline of the Lei Xiao Sect gradually became clear on the horizon, but Chen Yan's face became increasingly heavy, as if shrouded in dark clouds.

Yu Lingxi temporarily leaves the team because he wants to visit an old friend whom he hasn't seen for many years, leaving Pei Ling and Chen Yan behind.

Seeing this, Pei Ling frowned slightly, then gently pulled up Chen Yan's sleeve and led him into an antique teahouse.

"What's wrong? The closer you get to the Lei Xiao Sect, the more unhappy you seem to be?"

Pei Ling's voice was soft but contained a concern that could not be ignored, and her eyes sparkled with a searching gleam.

Chen Yan sighed, the conflicted emotions between his brows difficult to conceal, and he spoke in a low voice.

"I... always feel a little uneasy."

For Lei Tingyi, and also for Ling Jiuan.

Pei Ling heard this and a gentle smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen through everything.

"Is it because of Master Lei's engagement that you feel in danger?"

Chen Yan nodded, with helplessness and worry in his eyes.

"Indeed. Ling Jiuan's life has been full of ups and downs. Perhaps she herself has not yet realized it, but I have been with her for many days and can clearly feel her deep and hidden feelings for Lei Tingyi."

Pei Ling gently patted the back of Chen Yan's hand to comfort him, and there was a hint of cunning in her smile.

"Then have you ever thought that even if there is this marriage contract, what if Young Master Lei never truly accepts this marriage? In this case, wouldn't Miss Yu's worry be nonsense? Worrying leads to confusion. I think your worry may be unnecessary."

Chen Yan's eyes lit up slightly when he heard Pei Ling's words, but then dimmed again.

"That being said, the world is unpredictable, and the situation within the Lei Xiao Sect is complicated. How can we outsiders easily get a glimpse of its full picture?"

Pei Ling chuckled, with wisdom glittering in her eyes.

"Indeed, the world is like a new chess game, but don't forget that people's hearts are also changeable. Sometimes, the strongest barriers are often collapsed from the inside. Although you and I cannot predict the future, we can try our best to grasp the present, right?"

As he spoke, Pei Ling poured Chen Yan a cup of tea. The lingering aroma of the tea seemed to remind him that no matter what the road ahead held, he should keep a calm and determined heart.

Chen Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip. The warm feeling seemed to warm his heart as well. He spoke slowly.

"You're right. Instead of worrying about the unknown, it's better to do well in the present. Maybe everything will turn around."

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere in the teahouse became warm because of this tacit understanding, as if even the sunlight outside the window became particularly bright, indicating that the upcoming journey, no matter the wind or rain, will be full of hope.

The gate of Lei Xiao Sect burst open with a bang. Amid the flying dust, Lei Tingyi, dressed in a silver-white battle robe, looked heroic. Beside him followed two maids, Liu Zhu and Liu Ying, who looked nervous but walked steadily.

Among them, Lei Tingyi was holding a woman carefully. That woman was Ling Jiuan who was seriously injured and unconscious. Her clothes were stained with blood and her face was as pale as paper. It was obvious that she was seriously injured.

"Quick! Go get the best doctor!"

Lei Tingyi's voice was low and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.

He rushed all the way, passing through the intricate corridors of Lei Xiao Sect and headed straight for the sect's wing rooms.

Liu Zhu and Liu Ying followed closely behind. Although they were extremely anxious, they did not forget to maintain order around them to ensure that no one disturbed Young Master Lei's emergency operation.

The disciples of Lei Xiao Sect who met along the way were all surprised when they saw this scene, and then quickly dispersed to make way for this sudden emergency.

Inside the wing, the doctors who had been waiting for a long time came forward upon seeing this, took over Ling Jiuan, and began a series of intensive and orderly treatments.

Lei Tingyi stood aside, his clenched fists revealing his inner anxiety and uneasiness. His eyes were fixed on Ling Jiuan, as if he wanted to pass all his worries and strength to her.

"She must be okay..."

Lei Tingyi murmured in a low voice. These words were both his expectation for the doctor and a comfort to his own heart.

Liu Zhu gently tugged at his sleeve and whispered consolation.

"Master Lei, please don't worry. The doctors will do their best. You also need to rest. After all, there are still many things that need you to deal with next."

In fact, the master's injuries are not life-threatening at the moment.

Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi nodded slightly, but he did not leave. Instead, he chose to stay outside the medical room and wait quietly. Only in this way could he feel the subtle connection between him and Ling Jiuan.

Time seems to freeze at this moment, and every passing second carries endless expectations and prayers.

Sect Master Lei, the leader of the Lei Xiao Sect, was somewhat surprised when he heard that his beloved son Lei Tingyi had returned in a hurry with a seriously injured person.

He put down the busy work in his hands and hurried to the medical room to find out what was going on.

It seems that the girl from the Ling family was injured.

When Sect Master Lei stepped into the corridor outside the wing room, the first thing that caught his eye was Lei Tingyi's anxious figure.

His son was usually calm, composed and decisive. When had he ever seen him lose his composure like this?

Sect Leader Lei couldn't help but feel an indescribable complex emotion in his heart. He was surprised by his son's rare expression of emotion, but also worried about the unknown situation.

"Yier, what's going on?"

Sect Leader Lei's voice was steady and dignified, yet it also contained the concern of a father.

Hearing the voice, Lei Tingyi turned to look at his father, a rare hint of fragility flashing in his eyes.

"Father, this is Ling Jiuan. She...she was seriously injured in the Savage Beast Forest."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Lei frowned slightly, his eyes quickly glanced at the unconscious Ling Jiuan, and he had a rough idea in his mind.

He knew very well that the person who could make Lei Tingyi so nervous must be no ordinary person.

"What did the doctor say?"

Sect Leader Lei asked directly, his tone revealing an unquestionable power.

"He is still receiving treatment, and the situation...is not optimistic."

Lei Tingyi's voice was low, and every word seemed to carry a heavy burden.

Sect Master Lei sighed, walked forward, and gently patted Lei Tingyi on the shoulder.

"Yier, things are unpredictable. All we can do is try our best. Relax and use the resources of the Lei Xiao Sect. You must save this girl."

Lei Tingyi nodded, and a warm feeling surged in his heart, which was the support and understanding from his father.

He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, with the support of Lei Xiao Sect, he would not fight alone.

The father and son stood quietly outside the room, waiting and praying.

At this moment, Sect Master Lei seemed to see the growth trajectory of his son, which made him feel gratified.

It seems that this kid really got it this time.
