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

"The golden phoenix feather can stabilize the barrier of my Ling family. It is not easy to open the secret realm, and it is even harder to defend it. If you can't find the golden phoenix, get out of the Ling family!"

Ling Changfeng had a blank expression on his face, and his words were irrefutable.

Ling Jiuan looked at him deeply, and finally couldn't help but said, "It turns out that father also knows that it's not easy for me to defend the ring."

Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Ling Changfeng put his hands behind his back and said unhappily, "What do you mean?"

Ling Jiuan smiled, but his eyes were full of mockery.

"I am only a physical practitioner. I fought against two masters at the peak of Qi training and was almost beaten to death. After returning to the Ling family, have you ever shown any concern for me?"

Ling Changfeng's face darkened.

"Let's not talk about today. I was abandoned in Lingtian Courtyard, and you never asked me about my food, clothing, and daily expenses, right?"

"I'm not blaming you, nor do I need you to love me. I'm saying this just to tell you that even though you look down on me today, I will definitely become someone the Ling family can rely on in the future!"

Every word of Ling Jiuan was so powerful that it seemed as if he wanted to smash it to the ground.

Get stronger, get stronger, get stronger.

This was a thought that became stronger and stronger in her mind after everything she had experienced.

If a person has no one in the world who loves him or her, then he or she should work hard to become his or her own supporter!

Madam Lan's eyes flickered, revealing a bit of helplessness: "Jiuan, what you said is too cold..."

She turned her head expecting Ling Changfeng to lose his temper, but found that he was just staring at Ling Jiuan, as if he was looking at someone through her.

Mrs. Lan was stunned, and suddenly thought of what she heard many years ago.

"The daughter of the Bai family, beautiful as peach blossoms in March, proud as white plum blossoms in winter, she is truly a goddess that is unforgettable!"

Proud.

The woman in my memory was indeed so arrogant.

I thought Ling Jiuan's timid character, who didn't know how to resist when bullied, would be very different from her mother's.

I didn’t expect that after body building, the transformation would be so great!

Madam Lan pinched her palms to keep calm, and chuckled, "You two are really stubborn, fifth girl, go back and get ready. Your father came to you because he wanted to tell you to get ready, not because he doesn't care about you."

Jiuan thought this was just nonsense, so he just bowed hastily and turned away.

When she walked out the door, she could still hear Ling Changfeng saying in the lobby that she was ignorant of etiquette and had an arrogant and domineering personality.

Ling Jiuan didn't react at all. He walked through the corridor and almost bumped into someone just as he reached the corner.

She took two steps back to avoid bumping into him.

The woman in front of her had beautiful cheeks as rosy as peach blossoms, and she looked about the same age as her.

In her memory, people like Ling Jiuxi often bullied the original owner, so she could recognize the identities of those people.

The person in front of him left Jiuan with no impression at all.

However, there are only three young ladies in the Ling family. Apart from her and Ling Jiuxi, there is only a fourth young lady.

Could this be the original owner’s sister Ling Jiurong, who has the same father and mother as her but has never visited her?

Just as Ling Jiuan was thinking about it, the maid behind the woman snorted coldly.

"What are you looking at? Miss Four still has to go and pay respects to her father, why don't you get out of the way?"

Ling Jiurong pursed her lips and stared at Ling Jiuan, her eyes filled with a hint of rejection and coldness.

Ling Jiuan showed no emotion and passed by the other person sideways.

She naturally won't like people who don't like her.

What's more, this is the original owner's sister, not hers, so she can't feel any blood-related closeness.

The other party obviously didn't want to give her a good look.

However, just as Ling Jiuan took two steps, he heard a surprised and angry shout from behind him.

"You stop!"

Ling Jiuan paused and frowned.

Why are you still looking for trouble?

Ling Jiurong walked quickly to her and sneered, "You have really grown up now. You came back after successfully defending the ring, but you even ignored me. What? Do you really think you can ignore anyone?"

Jiuan even had the urge to roll his eyes.

She said indifferently: "First, we have never met since we were young. Although I know from the maid that you are the fourth sister, I don't know what to say to you. Second, I ignore everyone, not just you. There is no need for you to feel unbalanced."

Ling Jiurong's face turned pale and her eyes widened in disbelief.

Ling Jiuan just felt annoyed.

Why is everyone so shocked? Could it be that in everyone's eyes, she is supposed to be humble, obedient and easy to bully?

"third."

This time she said something more serious: "Although we are sisters, I don't want to have a good relationship with you. Just treat me as a stranger. If we meet in the future, you don't even need to say anything, so as not to get tired of each other."

After saying that, Ling Jiuan left without looking back.

Looking at her back, Jiurong was so angry that she clenched her handkerchief and didn't recover for a long time.

The maid Ling Shuang quickly supported her and said with a pout, "Don't be angry, Fourth Miss. You should have known that she was this kind of person. She was born with an ominous sign, and even her mother died because of it. How could she be a good person!"

Ling Jiurong's eyelashes trembled and a feeling of hatred rose in her heart.

"Yes! She is the ominous monster! If it weren't for her, how could my mother die during childbirth? She was safe and sound when she gave birth to me and my brother! It's all her fault! She is the one who killed my mother!"

Her eyes turned red, she fell to the ground with a dazed look, and she murmured, "I have no talent, and I have been neglected by my father since I was a child. If it weren't for Madam Lan who loved me, I, I... It's all Ling Jiuan's fault that I lost my mother. Why didn't she die in the back mountain!"

Behind the corner, Madam Lan stood in a secluded corner, taking in all of this.

She deliberately made some noise and walked over quickly, "Rong'er, why are you sitting on the ground? It's easy to get sick in a cold weather. Hurry, get up."

Ling Jiurong suddenly came back to her senses, wiped the tears from her eyes, and smiled as if nothing had happened: "Madam, don't worry, I just fell accidentally while walking."

"Tomorrow I'll have someone come and fix the road here and make it smoother so you won't fall."

Mrs. Lan leaned over and cleaned her clothes.

Ling Jiurong was moved and bowed, "Madam, you are the elder, how can you bend down to help me tidy up my clothes? If others see me, they will probably think I am ignorant."

"Who dares to say that? You lost your mother when you were young, and I love you so much that I can't wait to do anything for you. If anyone dares to talk behind your back, I will smash his mouth!"

Madam Lan hugged Ling Jiurong in her arms.

Seeing her kind look, the maids were moved and their eyes turned red.

Mrs. Lan's eyes flickered slightly, and then she sighed, a look of worry emerging on her face.

Ling Jiurong quickly grabbed her hand and asked, "Madam, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"Your fifth sister just came back and she showed off in front of your father. She is willful and doesn't know the rules, so we can teach her slowly. But the secret realm is dangerous. What should we do if she can't come back?"

Mrs. Lan sighed repeatedly, looking genuinely worried about Ling Jiuan.

Ling Jiurong was dissatisfied and sneered when she heard this: "She has no spiritual roots and brings shame to the Ling family. It would be better for her to die in the secret realm, which would be considered a more glorious death!"

After she said this, something suddenly occurred to her.

Yes!

It would be better for an ominous person like Ling Jiuan to die in the secret realm!
