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

After Liu Zhu and Liu Ying left, Lei Tingyi slowly walked out of the house. He looked calm and his eyes were deep, as if he could see through people's hearts.

He looked at Ling Jiuan, with a faint smile on his face.

"You not only want to provide those children with a foundation for survival, but also want to build up your own power, right?"

Ling Jiuan looked back at him, helplessness and admiration flashing in his eyes.

"You see clearly."

There was a hint of teasing and self-mockery in her tone.

Lei Tingyi was an unfathomable person, both in terms of his mind and talent.

Lei Tingyi's expression remained unchanged. He slowly walked to Ling Jiuan, his tone calm but with some deep meaning.

"Everything in this world has a price tag. Some good intentions are actually buying other things. You want to save others as well as yourself, and there's nothing wrong with that."

Ling Jiuan smiled, and there was a hint of bitterness and relief in her smile.

"Yes, but I don't seem to be disgusted by your insight. What about you? You don't seem to be disgusted by my plan either?"

Lei Tingyi glanced at her with gentle eyes.

"You want to save others as well as yourself. For you and those orphans, this is a mutually beneficial thing. What's there to be disgusted about? What's more, you give them the opportunity to survive and practice, which is tantamount to being their savior."

Ling Jiuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

"I'm embarrassed by what you said."

Lei Tingyi's tone became more serious and he looked at Ling Jiuan seriously.

“Don’t be embarrassed. What you are about to face has just begun. Build up your power and protect yourself. This is not only for yourself, but also for those innocent orphans. You still have a long way to go.”

Ling Jiuan was stunned for a moment, and she looked at Lei Tingyi with complicated eyes.

She knew that what he said was right.

What she has to face has just begun.

However, she will not back down, because she knows that she has the ability and the responsibility to protect those innocent lives and live well.

Ling Jiuan looked at Lei Tingyi with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"You don't seem quite right today, is there something wrong?"

Lei Tingyi nodded and his expression became serious.

"When I used the eavesdropping charm, I also placed one in Madam Lan's yard."

There was a certain heaviness in his words, and it was obvious that what he heard was not simple.

When Ling Jiuan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"What did you hear?"

There was a hint of urgency in her tone, and she was very concerned about what Lei Tingyi had heard.

Speaking of which, Madam Lan is her biggest enemy in the Ling family.

Lei Tingyi looked at her, his tone serious and solemn.

"Mrs. Lan hinted that Ling Xiaofu had destroyed you, but how she would destroy you is still unknown."

I have to say that this Madam Lan is really well versed in the tactics of household fighting.

Ling Jiuan frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

"Logically speaking, what's the use of my training method, which only cultivates the strength of the physical body?"

However, Lei Tingyi shook his head, his expression becoming more solemn.

"Yes. It is said that there is a poison that can destroy all tendons and veins with just a little bit of it. I don't know if there is any in Spark City. If there is, you must be careful."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes were full of shock.

"so smart?"

She was silent for a moment, then looked at Lei Tingyi.

"Don't worry, I will be careful. Madam Lan and Ling Xiaofu's conspiracy will never succeed."

Lei Tingyi continued to talk about the eavesdropping talisman, his tone was serious and there was some worry in his eyes.

"Also, Madam Lan and Ling Jiuze should have some means that can make the cultivation level advance by leaps and bounds. What I want to know now is whether that means is the one I saw on the demon cultivator before."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, her expression was complicated. She frowned and there was some uneasiness in her eyes.

"If Ling Jiuze colluded with the demon cultivators, according to the Ling family rules, he would definitely die, right?"

Lei Tingyi nodded.

"Yes. No noble or decent sect would tolerate this. If your second brother were to collude with the evil cultivators, not only would he be implicated, but even Madam Lan would be implicated."

Even if he went to the Leixiao Sect and colluded with the evil cultivators, the outcome would be the same.

When Ling Jiuan heard this, he was filled with thoughts.

She was silent for a moment before looking at Lei Tingyi.

"I understand. I will investigate thoroughly. If Ling Jiuze is really colluding with the evil cultivators, I will definitely not tolerate it."

At this moment, the fox spirit in Ling Jiuan's arms squeaked softly, the sound was subtle but full of vitality.

Ling Jiuan lowered his head, and his gentle gaze immediately met the little guy's bright eyes.

Her eyes were full of pampering and tenderness, almost dripping with tears.

"Lingling? Are you awake?"

She spoke softly, afraid to disturb the tranquility.

The little guy seemed to understand. He raised his furry little paw and gently placed it on Ling Jiuan's hand in response to her call.

For a moment, Ling Jiuan's heart was melted by the little guy's gentle behavior, and a happy smile bloomed on her face.

Lei Tingyi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this.

He looked at the intimate interaction between Ling Jiuan and the fox spirit, and a hint of surprise and relief flashed in his eyes.

"This little guy turned out to be a blessing in disguise."

He was almost certain that this little creature's talent and bloodline were the best among all spirit foxes.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan raised his head with some confusion and looked at Lei Tingyi.

"What? A blessing in disguise?"

I'm almost dead, what good can it still be?

Could it be that this little fellow is also practicing body-building cultivation like himself?

Lei Tingyi smiled.

"It has been reborn after being put to death. It has a tendency to cultivate a second tail."

When the second tail comes out, the little guy will have the strength to build a foundation.

By then, people like Ling Jiuxi won't be able to do anything to the little thing?

When Ling Jiuan heard this, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at the little guy in her arms in disbelief.

"Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

She looked for a long time but saw nothing.

Lei Tingyi shook his head.

"You can't see it now. It takes time and opportunity, but believe me, it is growing."

Ling Jiuan couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard this.

A trace of loneliness flashed across her eyes, but was immediately replaced by determination.

"It's okay, I will wait patiently. I believe I will see it one day, and I also believe in Lingling."

She felt that with just a few words, the disadvantages of not having spiritual roots were revealed.

Lei Tingyi could tell what she was thinking and couldn't help but smile.

"It's not because you don't have spiritual roots, but because my spiritual roots have special properties. Apart from me, no one else in Spark City should be able to see it."

In the whole Chenzhou, there are probably not many people who can see through the true colors of this little guy.

After all, this little thing was obviously under a restriction, so it was impossible to tell his bloodline and status.
