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

At the same time, another exquisite invitation was quietly delivered to the Darling family residence.

This invitation is unique, with intricate thunder patterns engraved on it, and it is obviously prepared specially for Lei Tingyi.

He held the heavy invitation with a complicated expression.

Just at this moment, Ling Jiuan came back from outside with a bright smile on his face, like a spring breeze.

"Lei Tingyi, I found an opportunity to conduct an in-depth investigation into the Cheng family!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi raised his eyes indifferently, his tone calm.

"Cheng Xuan's birthday party?"

Ling Jiuan was stunned, somewhat surprised that he would mention this matter so directly.

"You knew already?"

She asked, with a hint of surprise between her brows.

Lei Tingyi gently shook the invitation in his hand, with a faint smile on his lips.

"I got it too. Why, are you planning to go too?"

There was a hint of amusement in his tone, and he was surprised by Ling Jiuan's appearance.

Ling Jiuan paused for a moment, then understood something and nodded.

"Yes, but I think Madam Lan should let Ling Jiuze go as well. However, she didn't mention this matter in the meeting room just now, which surprised me."

Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi's expression became even more indifferent. He gently stroked the lightning pattern on the invitation, as if thinking about something.

"Ling Jiuze? Given his status in the Ling family, it is indeed possible that he would be invited. But Madam Lan did not mention it, which is indeed intriguing."

Ling Jiuan smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Yes, but this is also good. We can take this opportunity to find out more about the Cheng family."

Mrs. Lan's yard was quiet, with only the occasional sound of the wind, which seemed to be telling an unknown secret.

Madam Lan sat at the table, looking solemnly at Ling Jiuze who was standing in front of her, with a hint of tentativeness in her tone.

"You have always had close ties with the Cheng family. Are you willing to let Ling Jiuan go to the Cheng family this time?"

Ling Jiuze smiled slightly, with a hint of deep meaning in his smile, and he shook his head gently.

"Mother, you are worrying too much. The Cheng family also sent me a separate invitation this time. Moreover, the elders of my family are interested in promoting Ling Jiuan, so why should I bother myself?"

As he spoke, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Upon hearing this, Madam Lan sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness between her brows.

"I don't know what kind of charm that girl has. Her position in the Ling family is becoming more and more important day by day."

There was a hint of resentment and jealousy in her tone.

These things should belong to your own children.

Ling Jiuze smiled coldly, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"Strength, mother. You and I have seen how fast Ling Jiuan has grown. If she had been born well and had spiritual roots, she would have been the best in Chenzhou by now."

As he spoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

When Mrs. Lan heard this, her face changed and she slapped the table hard, causing the tea sets on the table to shake.

"Give birth safely? How is that possible?"

There is no doubt that she was also feeling a little scared at this moment.

If she had not taken action at the beginning, allowing Jiuan to be born healthy, with her growth rate and the protection of her family, she would probably be the number one person in Chenzhou now.

If that happens, how will I and my two children survive?

There was a hint of trembling and fear in her expression, and she was obviously remembering the consequences of what happened that year.

Ling Jiuan, this evil creature, is really troublesome!

Ling Jiuze looked at Madam Lan, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He knew that his mother had attacked Ling Jiuan's mother in order to secure his and Ling Jiuxi's status.

Now it seems that that move has temporarily stabilized their position.

But now Ling Jiuan, the "waste" that was supposed to be trampled underfoot, is gradually coming to the fore.

It's really disturbing!

Madam Lan took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her inner turmoil.

She looked at Ling Jiuze with a firm gaze and her tone left no room for doubt.

"Fortunately, your cultivation is improving by leaps and bounds. In time, when your realm is stable, you will be able to make a big splash. By then, no matter whether it is Ling Jiucheng or Ling Jiuan, they will be trampled under your feet!"

Hearing this, Ling Jiuze's mouth curled up slightly and he nodded gently.

"Mother is absolutely right! I will never let them have a chance to turn things around. The future of the Ling family can only belong to me!"

Madam Lan looked at Ling Jiuze, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes.

She knew that her son possessed extraordinary talent and determination. As long as he was given enough time, he would become the pride of the Ling family and trample under his feet those who once looked down on them.

"Okay, mother believes you. However, you can't let your guard down. The Cheng family invited you and Ling Jiuan this time. There might be some conspiracy. You must be careful and don't give them the chance to attack you."

After all, the Cheng family is not a good family either.

Now that we are cooperating, isn't that also seeking the skin of a tiger?

Ling Jiuze nodded, looking solemn.

"Don't worry, mother. I will be careful. Although the Cheng family is powerful, I am not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others. If they have any conspiracy, I will make them pay the price!"

Mrs. Lan felt relieved when she heard this.

As long as he handles it carefully, he will definitely not give the Cheng family a chance to attack him.

"Okay, mother is waiting for the day when you will become a big hit!"

As for that bitch Ling Jiuan, she is not enough evidence in front of the Cheng family.

After Ling Jiuze left, Madam Lan looked towards the door with a worried look on her face, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

Mother Wang at the side sighed softly, with a hint of worry in her tone.

"Madam, now that the Second Young Master has embarked on the path of magic cultivation, if the Patriarch and his men find out, then..."

Mrs. Lan waved her hand, signaling Mother Wang to stop talking. She frowned and spoke in a cold tone.

"Don't worry, no one else will know about this. I will handle it carefully and won't let anyone discover Jiuze's secret."

As she spoke, Mrs. Lan unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

If it weren't for that bitch Ling Jiuan, how could his son have embarked on the path of practicing magic?

She thought to herself that she must find a way to get rid of Ling Jiuan and pave the way for her son.

"Mother Wang, tell everyone in the mansion to keep an eye on Ling Jiuan's movements. If she shows any unusual behavior, report to me immediately."

Upon hearing this, Mother Wang nodded quickly.

"Yes, ma'am. I will give the order. But, ma'am, do we really want to take action against Ling Jiuan? After all, she is the direct descendant of the family..."

Madam Lan sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

"Direct bloodline? Humph, she's nothing but trash. If she was really that important, why would the family let her live like a maid in the medicine garden? Mother Wang, remember, Jiuze is the only hope for our future. For him, we must remove all obstacles!"
