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

Chapter 115 Breakthrough

In Jiu'an Hall.

Ling Jiuan lay quietly on the bed with his eyes closed. His face was pale with an abnormal flush, as if he was undergoing some transformation.

Lei Tingyi stood beside the bed with deep eyes.

Is this a bottleneck?

He slowly raised his hand and lightly touched Ling Jiuan's forehead with his fingertips. A stream of extremely pure spiritual power flowed into Ling Jiuan's body like a trickle, gently but irresistibly.

"Um……"

Ling Jiuan groaned, and fine beads of sweat instantly seeped out of her forehead, as crystal clear as morning dew, revealing that she was in great pain and struggle at the moment.

Her body trembled slightly, silently struggling with an invisible force.

Lei Tingyi's expression was solemn, but he always maintained his indifference and composure. His eyes were fixed on Ling Jiuan, not missing any slight changes on her face.

About a quarter of an hour later, a strange halo suddenly surged in Jiu'an Hall. The halo was warm and bright, wrapping Jiu'an in it, just like the rising sun, illuminating everything around.

But it was only a moment and the halo disappeared.

The third level of foundation building!

She broke through!

A hint of surprise flashed across Lei Tingyi's eyes, then turned into approval.

With the successful breakthrough, the spiritual power around Jiuan gradually stabilized, his breath also stabilized, and a trace of peace finally appeared on his pale face.

Lei Tingyi slowly withdrew his spiritual power and spoke softly

"Okay, let her get some sleep. But, she killed two maids at the third level of the Golden Core today. Although they may not be from the Ling family, we still need to tell your young master about this matter to avoid a big fuss later."

Even if the person was brought from outside, I think it must have cost the other party a lot.

If people knew that Ling Jiuan had killed someone, I'm afraid things would not end well.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhu nodded quickly.

"I will go right away. Thank you, young master."

Having said this, she turned around and was about to leave, but her steps seemed particularly brisk.

Lei Tingyi took out another pill from his sleeve. The pill gave off a faint fragrance. He gently fed the pill into Ling Jiuan's mouth with soft and skillful movements.

After doing all this, he looked at Ling Jiuan deeply, with inexplicable emotions in his eyes, and then turned and left.

Liuying stayed by the bed, staring at Ling Jiuan intently.

She gently wiped the sweat from Ling Jiuan's forehead, her movements so gentle as if she was afraid of disturbing her dream.

"Master, sleep well. I will watch over you and no one will disturb you."

When Ling Jiuze heard the news that Chunxiu and Chunhua had died, he was shocked and confused. His pace quickened involuntarily, and he almost rushed to Ling Jiuxi's yard.

As soon as he entered the room, his eyes met Madam Lan's cold gaze. He quickly collected his thoughts and bowed politely.

"Mother."

Mrs. Lan glanced at him indifferently, with a hint of complex emotions in her tone.

"Are you here to see your sister?"

She could see what her son was thinking, but now was not the time to ask Ling Jiuze to hold him accountable.

Even if someone was responsible for the deaths of those two slaves, it shouldn't be Ling Jiuxi.

Ling Jiuze was stunned for a moment and frowned in confusion.

"Mother, what do you mean? I heard that Chunxiu and Chunhua died. What is going on?"

There was obvious shock and confusion in his tone.

He found it hard to accept this sudden change.

How come two masters of the third level of Jindan died on the second day after they arrived?

Madam Lan spoke coldly.

"Are you sure those two are at the third level of Golden Core cultivation?"

In her heart, she still didn't believe that Ling Jiuan had such strength.

When Ling Jiuze heard this, he looked even more confused, but still nodded.

"Of course, mother should know that their origins have determined that their strength and cultivation cannot be faked."

It would be impossible for people who come out of there to cheat even if they wanted to.

Upon hearing this, Madam Lan's eyes became even colder.

"But they joined forces and were killed by Ling Jiuan."

No matter how strong Ling Jiuan is, he is only at the third level of foundation building and has no spiritual roots. How can he compete with a master in the golden elixir stage?

Ling Jiuze's expression froze instantly, and he widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Ling Jiuan? How is that possible?"

He even felt that his mother was playing a joke on him.

Mrs. Lan sighed.

"I also think it's impossible, but that's the fact. So now I suspect that either Lei Tingyi took action, or... Ling Jiuan might be difficult to deal with."

If it was really Ling Jiuan, Madam Lan's heart skipped a beat and she felt inexplicably panicked.

Ling Jiuze smiled coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

"What is there to worry about, mother? There is no other possibility except Lei Tingyi's action. Mother should have heard that Ling Jiuan and Lei Tingyi have secretly decided to spend their lives together."

How could a useless person have such ability?

Mrs. Lan looked particularly heavy-hearted. She always felt that there was something behind this matter that she didn't know about.

"I don't know what your sister saw in Jiu'an Hall. She was so scared that she fainted. Until now, she hasn't woken up. I always feel that this matter is not simple, and there may be some unknown secrets behind it."

Hearing this, Jiuze was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Fainted from shock? Is it because of Chunxiu and Chunhua's death?"

Although Ling Jiuxi has no ability, he is quite courageous.

It’s just the death of two slave maids, is it that serious?

Mrs. Lan shook her head gently, her eyes deep and complicated.

"That's what the maids said, but I always feel that there is something else. You should investigate it carefully. If nothing works, get rid of Ling Jiuan. I will never feel at ease if she lives one more day."

After all, she is that woman's daughter, and keeping her alive is always a hassle.

When Ling Jiuze heard this, his expression froze. He looked at Madam Lan deeply and then nodded.

"Don't worry, mother. I will handle this matter properly and will not allow anyone who threatens us to exist."

But Ling Jiuan’s existence will never have as much influence on him as Ling Jiucheng!

Afterwards, he did not go to visit Ling Jiuxi, but turned around and walked out of Ling Jiuxi's yard.

Mrs. Lan looked at his back with an even more complicated expression.

She sighed softly and murmured to herself.

"This child... has finally grown up."

During this trip, Ling Jiuze didn't ask a single question about Ling Jiuxi's situation.

Does she still have this sister in her eyes?

For Madam Lan, Ling Jiuxi's existence is to pave the way for Ling Jiuze.

But after all, she is her own child, and she doesn't want Ling Jiuze to not cherish this sister.

You can use it, but you can't be without any affection.

Mother Wang, who was standing by, also noticed her worry and couldn't help but comfort her.

"Madam, those who achieve great things should not be bound by personal feelings."
