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

Chapter 117 Preemptive Strike

Since Ling Jiucheng had already spoken, Ling Jiuan didn't say anything more, but just nodded slightly.

"Then listen to me, I will take good care of you these two days and won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, she smiled slightly, with a hint of playfulness and helplessness in her smile.

Since someone else was taking the blame, there was no need for her to give herself up.

After Ling Jiucheng left, Lei Tingyi spoke lightly with a hint of amusement in his tone.

"You are quite clever. You know how to pass on the blame."

Ling Jiuan spread his hands with an innocent expression.

"They know that the Jindan stage can't deal with me, so next time they might ask the Yuanying stage to take action. I can't beat them..."

Relying on the Sword-Drawing and Heaven-Slashing Art, she can fight against opponents of higher levels, but she is not invincible after all.

It is better to have less trouble than more. She does not want to be wronged, nor does she want to die in vain.

Lei Tingyi shook his head.

"Nascent Soul... Chenzhou doesn't have many Nascent Souls, so you don't have to worry."

What's more, most Yuanying masters would not be willing to be constrained by others.

Ling Jiuan curled his lips, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"I'm not afraid of a thousand things, I'm afraid of one. I cherish my life very much."

Her life is the life of two people.

Lei Tingyi's expression remained calm and he gently changed the subject.

"In two days, I will return to Lei Xiao Sect. If there are no accidents on your side, I will not stay."

He stayed in Chenzhou for too long, which was not a long-term solution after all.

Moreover, most of Ling Jiuan's troubles were caused by himself.

Hearing this, Ling Jiuan was stunned, with a hint of surprise and disappointment in his eyes.

"Are you leaving?"

There was some reluctance in her tone, but also a hint of helplessness.

She knew that Lei Tingyi did not belong to this world.

I don't belong either.

Lei Tingyi nodded calmly.

"I have my responsibilities, and so do you. You have good talents, and without spiritual roots you are not bound. Instead, you can have a broader world."

Ling Jiuan smiled.

"Is there such a saying? Then I must work hard to cultivate and not let you down."

It also doesn't let down my own life and the original owner's life!

Lei Tingyi smiled helplessly.

He knew that this seemingly weak woman actually possessed endless tenacity and strength in her heart.

He believed that she would shine even brighter in the future.

By that time, Ling Jiuan's name will be known throughout the Kyushu continent.

Ling Jiucheng walked with steady steps through the winding corridor and came to Ling Jiuxi's yard.

Mrs. Lan was sitting in the yard, holding a cup of fragrant tea.

However, when she saw Ling Jiucheng appear in front of her, the comfort in her eyes was instantly replaced by surprise.

"Why is the young master here?"

Mrs. Lan murmured to herself, always feeling that Ling Jiucheng's visit this time was not an act of goodwill.

She put down the teacup in her hand and stared at Ling Jiucheng, trying to catch a clue from his expressionless face.

Ling Jiucheng did not respond immediately, but just stood quietly in the yard with a deep look in his eyes.

After a moment, he slowly spoke.

"Today, my third sister took me to Jiu'an Courtyard to make trouble and I got frightened. I came to see you."

When Mrs. Lan heard this, a look of suspicion flashed across her face.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Ling Jiucheng.

"Young Master also knows about this? Why did I hear that Jiuan killed those two slaves?"

Is this really what Ling Jiucheng did?

Or is he trying to hide something?

Ling Jiucheng smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Madam, how do you think a Foundation Establishment cultivator can kill a Golden Core servant? Moreover, Jiuan does not have any spiritual roots. It's just that, except for Young Master Lei, no one present knew that I took action."

There was a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his tone, as if he was amused by Mrs. Lan's ignorance and stupidity.

But he knew in his heart that Madam Lan was not so easy to fool.

Now it is just

Mrs. Lan listened to Ling Jiucheng's words, and her expression became complicated. She stared at Ling Jiucheng's eyes, trying to find traces of the truth.

However, Ling Jiucheng's eyes were as calm as a deep pool, making it impossible for her to detect any useful information.

"Young Master, what you said is wrong."

Mrs. Lan finally spoke up to refute.

"Although Jiuan has no spiritual roots, she has a mysterious power that none of us can understand. Maybe she really has the ability to kill those two Jindan-stage slaves."

She always felt that Ling Jiucheng came today just to cover up something for Ling Jiuan.

Ling Jiucheng stared at Madam Lan with sharp eyes, his expression slightly stern, taking in her every move.

"Madam, whether I killed him or not, or whether Young Master Lei killed him, it doesn't matter. What matters is that Jiuxi has no sense of propriety and has repeatedly gone to Jiu'an Hall to cause trouble. This is a big problem."

Mrs. Lan's expression became uncertain under Ling Jiucheng's gaze. She tightly grasped the teacup in her hand, trying her best to suppress her inner anger.

However, she was the head of the family after all, and she quickly regained her composure and just spoke coldly.

"Don't worry, young master. I know what to do."

Although her voice was cold, it revealed a majesty that should not be underestimated.

Damn!

When Ling Jiucheng heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"That's good. I will also inform my father about this matter and let him know that my third sister was frightened in Jiu'an Hall. After all, as the head of the family, he has the right to know what happened at home."

"But from now on, if Third Sister acts up again, Father will know exactly what's going on."

Mrs. Lan's face turned pale in an instant. She clenched her teeth and seemed to want to say something, but she held it back.

Before she could speak, Ling Jiucheng had already turned and left.

Madam Lan looked at Ling Jiucheng's departing back, her eyes filled with coldness.

Mother Wang, who was standing by, had a worried look on her face and spoke cautiously.

"Madam, this...this matter, what do you think we should do?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Lan curled up the corners of her mouth into a cold smile, but there was no joy in that smile, instead it revealed a chill.

"It seems that what happened today was done by Ling Jiucheng and Lei Tingyi. But it is still unclear who did it."

But Ling Jiuan's role in this matter is probably not innocent either.

Upon hearing this, Mother Wang couldn't help but sigh, her brows full of worry.

"Miss Third...what should we do?"

Mrs. Lan glanced around the room and saw Ling Jiuxi still lying on the bed with no sign of waking up.

Her eyes were filled with heartache and anger, which then turned into a helpless sigh.

"Jiuxi has been greatly wronged this time, so we can't just let it go. But now we have no chance to make use of this issue. Ling Jiucheng took the initiative and spoke to the head of the family. If we continue to make trouble, it will anger the head of the family."

She couldn't offend Ling Changfeng just for Ling Jiuxi!
