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

Otherwise, you would be losing the big picture for the small.

Upon hearing this, Mother Wang also looked worried.

"Let's wait a little longer until Miss Three wakes up. It's been two hours, why hasn't she woken up yet?"

Even if I'm overly frightened, it shouldn't be that serious, right?

Upon hearing this, Madam Lan also looked solemn.

"Yeah, let's wait a little longer. I hope Jiuxi can give us a clear answer after she wakes up."

However, deep in her heart, she was hiding a deep worry and anxiety.

Ling Jiucheng left Madam Lan's yard and walked steadily all the way to the main courtyard of the family.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold, a sudden surge of spiritual power pounced towards him like a tiger descending from a mountain.

Ling Jiucheng's expression became stern, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes. He quickly mobilized his spiritual power and lightly blocked the opponent's attack. His movements were smooth and flowing, without showing any panic.

However, this was just the beginning. The next moment, even more surging spiritual power came like a huge wave, with the power to destroy the world.

A faint smile appeared on Ling Jiucheng's lips. He raised his hand calmly, and a folding fan appeared in his hand without him noticing.

With a gentle wave of the folding fan, like a spring breeze and rain, the violent spiritual power was instantly dispersed, transformed into points of spiritual light, and dissipated into the invisible.

He glanced inside the door calmly, his tone filled with confusion and inquiry.

"Father, why is this?"

His eyes were as clear as water, yet they concealed a deep light.

Is it a test?

Still dissatisfied?

The next moment, Ling Changfeng's hearty laughter was heard from the room, and the voice was full of satisfaction and appreciation.

"Now it seems that your cultivation has become more and more advanced. Come in and tell me what happened?"

Ling Jiucheng rarely set foot in the main courtyard unless there was something important going on.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiucheng smiled slightly and then went into the house.

He saw Ling Changfeng sitting at his desk, holding official documents in his hands, brows furrowed, as if he was worried about trivial family matters.

He bowed to Ling Changfeng, saluted, and then spoke slowly.

"Father, today Jiuxi brought two maids in the Jindan stage to Jiu'an Hall to cause trouble. Those two maids wanted to kill Jiu'an, so I killed them."

In his view, this was just a formality.

As for the rest, he doesn't need to care too much.

When Ling Changfeng heard this, he was stunned, frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"A maid in the Jindan stage? This..."

How come the Ling family has a maid in the Jindan stage?

Did Ling Jiucheng kill someone by accident?

Ling Changfeng slowly put down the document in his hand, looked up at Ling Jiucheng with a sharp gaze, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Are you sure those two are really maids?"

Ling Jiucheng looked determined and nodded.

"Yes. Jiuxi has been causing trouble in Jiu'an Hall these past few days, but she is no match for Jiu'an. I don't know where my second brother got these two maids to protect Jiuxi."

Ling Changfeng's suspicion was within his expectations.

People in high positions are very stubborn and will never trust anyone easily.

Hearing this, Ling Changfeng's face instantly turned ugly. He frowned and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"They are really good brothers and sisters to be able to hire a Jindan-stage expert as a maid!"

His voice was cold, with a hint of sarcasm and dissatisfaction, and he was very angry about this matter.

Ling Jiucheng remained silent, just stood quietly by the side, waiting for further instructions from his father.

After a long time, Ling Changfeng spoke coldly.

"Go check where those two maids came from. Also, tell Jiuxi not to go to Jiu'an Hall to avoid any more trouble."

Ling Jiucheng bowed again.

"Yes, father. I have already reminded Madam Lan to keep Jiuxi under control."

His goal has been achieved, and he no longer cares about anything else.

Upon hearing this, Ling Changfeng sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and worry in his eyes.

"After all, Jiuxi is not as sensible and well-behaved as her mother."

There was a hint of regret and emotion in his voice. He was very disappointed and sad about Jiuxi's behavior.

He looked at Ling Jiucheng deeply, with a complicated look in his eyes.

After Ling Jiucheng left, the room fell into silence again. At this moment, a black shadow landed silently in front of Ling Changfeng and bowed respectfully.

"Master of the house."

Ling Changfeng raised his head, staring at the man in black in front of him with sharp eyes.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly, with an unquestionable coldness in his tone.

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly. I want to know the origins of those two maids and their purpose behind them."

Upon hearing this, the man in black bowed again. His movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation.

Then, his figure flashed and disappeared in the house in an instant, leaving only a residual image and a faint murderous aura.

Ling Changfeng looked at the direction where the man in black disappeared, and a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes.

He understood that there were unknown secrets and conspiracies behind this matter.

As the head of the family, he must unravel the mystery and protect the peace of the family.

He sighed softly, then lowered his head again and immersed himself in the tedious official documents.

Ling Jiucheng slowly walked into his yard, his steps steady and powerful, revealing an aura that should not be underestimated.

He returned to the house and immediately ordered his men to deliver some things to Ling Jiuan.

After his men left, he turned around and glanced at the person who had just come in, with a questioning tone in his voice.

"How is it?"

The man bowed.

"The owner of the house has already sent someone to investigate."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiucheng stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his lips. However, there was no warmth in that smile, but instead a chill.

"It also planted a seed of doubt in him. Madam Lan and her son have been too rampant over the years."

Upon hearing this, the man bowed again.

"Then my subordinate will go down first."

His movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation, and he immediately turned and left.

Ling Jiucheng looked at the man's departing back, a hint of deep thought flashing in his eyes.

He knew that what happened today was just the beginning and the real battle was yet to come.

He sighed softly, then turned around again, staring at the scenery outside the window, with complicated thoughts surging in his heart.

In Jiu'an Hall, Ling Jiuan sat at the table, his eyes fell on the things that Ling Jiucheng had sent, and he couldn't help feeling helpless.

She rubbed her temples gently, muttering to herself,

"Brother, you are so mean. I don't need anything here. Why are you sending me more things?"

There was a hint of headache and helplessness in her tone.

I was a little overwhelmed by this elder brother's excessive concern for me.

She looked at the items on the table carefully and found some exquisite pastries and some of her favorite little gadgets.

A warm feeling surged in Jiuan's heart, and she knew that this was her elder brother's love and care for her.

However, she also didn't want her elder brother to always worry about her like this. After all, she had grown up and was capable of taking care of herself.

Even the original owner himself no longer needs it.
