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

Seeing that the crisis was finally resolved, Ling Jiuan secretly glanced at Lei Tingyi beside him and whispered a suggestion.

"Let's leave quietly and try not to let anyone discover our whereabouts."

There was a hint of caution and alertness in her eyes.

At this moment, she didn't want to be discovered.

Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi frowned thoughtfully.

"Why? Afraid of trouble?"

Ling Jiuan nodded slightly, his eyes becoming more serious.

"Under the current circumstances, the fewer people who know that we are investigating this matter, the better. After all, the enemy in the dark has not yet fully surfaced."

Lei Tingyi agreed with this. He held Ling Jiuan's hand tightly, raised his hand and made a gesture, and in an instant, the two of them appeared in Jiuan Hall.

Ling Jiuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed both physically and mentally. She looked at the stains on her body left by the battle, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Is there any purification spell? I don't want to bother Liu Zhu Liu Ying anymore."

There were some things that she hid from Liu Zhu Liu Ying.

Although they were loyal to her, there were always some things that were not suitable for them to know.

Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi smiled, nodded, and patiently taught her the formula of the cleansing spell.

Although Ling Jiuan has no spiritual roots, her comprehension is extremely high.

Under Lei Tingyi's guidance, she learned the cleansing spell in one go.

She cast the spell and felt a fresh breath flowing through her body, and the stains on her body disappeared instantly.

She smiled with satisfaction and walked towards her room.

After she returned to the house, Lei Tingyi slowly took out a jade pendant and frowned in thought.

He remembered clearly that the man in black had given Ling Jiuze a jade pendant like this that night.

There was a sharp gleam in his eyes, and he was speculating secretly in his heart.

So, they are really in the same group?

In Ling Jiuze's yard, he was practicing with full concentration with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, he sensed a breath approaching, and he immediately restrained his spiritual power and opened his eyes.

The next moment, Mrs. Lan hurried into the yard with an anxious look on her face.

"Jiu Ze, what's going on with the demon cultivators attacking the city?"

Mrs. Lan asked straight to the point, with a hint of urgency and worry in her tone.

Ling Jiuze's eyes flickered, as if hesitating whether to tell the truth.

"Mother, I don't know the details either."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lan's face darkened slightly, and she was obviously not satisfied with Ling Jiuze's answer.

"Are you going to hide this from me too?"

There was a hint of blame and disappointment in her tone.

How could she not understand her own son?

Ling Jiuze sighed. He knew he couldn't hide it from his mother, so he had to confess.

"No, it's... the Cheng family has arranged for someone to kill Ling Jiuan for me. If nothing unexpected happens, that group of demon cultivators are coming for Ling Jiuan."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lan's expression became even uglier.

"Nonsense! If this is discovered, how can you inherit the Ling family in the future? How can you do such an impulsive thing?"

Ling Jiuan is going to die, but her death must not affect her son's future.

Ling Jiuze lowered his head and remained silent.

He knew that his behavior was indeed inconsiderate, but the jealousy and resentment in his heart made him unable to let go.

So when the Cheng family proposed it, he had no intention of stopping them.

Mrs. Lan looked at her son and her tone became unusually serious and solemn.

"Jiu Ze, you have to be patient! It's just Ling Jiuan. She will die in your hands sooner or later. What's the point of offending the entire family for Ling Jiuan?"

"You have to understand that the interests of the family are always the most important. It is very unwise to destroy your position and future in the family for the sake of a mere Ling Jiu'an."

Why should we be afraid of the bastard born by that bastard?

As for everything that happened during this period, it was not because Ling Jiuan was too strong, but because they underestimated the enemy.

She hopes her son can understand that a truly strong person must not only have strength, but also wisdom and patience.

Only in this way can you gain a foothold in the family and become a true leader.

How can you achieve great things if you can’t keep calm?

Ling Jiuze couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart when he listened to his mother's words.

He knew that he was indeed too impulsive and did not consider the consequences.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down the fluctuations in his heart.

He understood that his mother was right.

He cannot ruin his future because of momentary impulse and resentment.

Seeing that Ling Jiuze gradually calmed down, Mrs. Lan spoke again, with a serious tone in her voice.

"The people I arranged for your father just sent a message that all the demon cultivators outside the city have been destroyed."

When Ling Jiuze heard this, his expression changed slightly.

"How is it possible? Those demon cultivators are quite powerful, how could they be destroyed so quickly?"

Mrs. Lan sighed.

"I don't know the specific situation. However, it is said that some mysterious people took action and captured all those demon cultivators. Moreover, they did not leave any traces, making it impossible to track them down."

Ling Jiuze was silent for a moment, secretly guessing the identities and origins of those mysterious figures.

He looked up at his mother.

"Mother, I understand. I will be patient and wait for a better time. I will not destroy my position and future in the family because of momentary impulse and resentment."

Mrs. Lan felt a little relieved when she heard this.

She nodded and spoke earnestly.

Jiuze, I am glad that you think this way. Remember, a truly strong person must not only have strength, but also wisdom and patience. Only in this way can you become the pride of your family and gain a foothold in this world of cultivation. "

After dealing with Ling Jiuze's affairs, Mrs. Lan and Mother Wang hurried to Ling Jiuxi's yard.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Ling Jiuxi lying on a chair, her face pale, her eyes dull, having lost all her former energy and vitality.

Mrs. Lan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly walked towards Ling Jiuxi and called out softly.

"Xi'er? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

However, Ling Jiuxi did not react at all. He was immersed in his own world and lost perception of everything in the outside world.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lan became even more worried.

She quickly reached out and touched Ling Jiuxi's forehead and found no signs of fever.

She carefully examined Ling Jiuxi's body again and did not find any external injuries or abnormalities.

"What exactly happened here?"

Mrs. Lan was secretly anxious, and she turned to look at Mother Wang.

"Mother Wang, please go get a doctor and see what's wrong with Xi'er."

Mother Wang responded quickly and turned away hurriedly.

Mrs. Lan stayed beside Ling Jiuxi, gently stroking her hair.

"Xi'er..."

However, Ling Jiuxi still did not react.

Mrs. Lan was heartbroken when she saw her daughter's appearance.
