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

As soon as Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan sat down, Cheng Xuan ordered the servants to bring a lot of fine wine and delicious food, and the table was immediately filled with delicious dishes.

However, before they could start tasting, several people in black suddenly came in from the door, looking hurried, as if they had something urgent to do.

Cheng Xuan's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan and bowed.

"Wait a moment, you two. I have some things to take care of."

Lei Tingyi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.

"Master Cheng, please go do whatever you want. Don't worry about us. We will enjoy the food here."

Cheng Xuan nodded gratefully, then turned around and whispered a few words to the men in black, then hurriedly left the banquet hall.

Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan were left looking at each other, secretly wondering in their hearts whether there was some unknown secret hidden behind this sudden change.

Ling Jiuan looked at Lei Tingyi with a complicated expression.

"Who are those people?"

She already had a vague guess in her mind, but still hoped to hear Lei Tingyi's confirmation.

Lei Tingyi's tone was cold, without a trace of emotion.

"Demon cultivator."

Ling Jiuan's face changed. She didn't expect that the evil cultivator would appear so openly at the Cheng family's banquet.

"Is it so aboveboard?"

Lei Tingyi shook his head.

"They have magical instruments on them that can conceal the aura of demon cultivators, so other people can't see it. Only those who have reached a certain level of cultivation, or are particularly sensitive to the aura of demon cultivators, can detect their true identities."

Ling Jiuan looked at Lei Tingyi with an even more complicated expression.

She didn't expect that Lei Tingyi could see the identities of those people so easily.

"You really are... gifted."

Lei Tingyi's expression remained unchanged, and he responded indifferently.

"Thanks for the compliment."

But he knew in his heart that behind this extraordinary talent was the result of countless times of training and experience, as well as many experiences of fighting against demons.

Ling Jiuan looked around and realized that Ling Jiuze, who came with them, was missing, and he couldn't help feeling curious.

"Where's Ling Jiuze? Why is he gone?"

Lei Tingyi spoke lightly, with a barely perceptible sneer in his tone.

"After those demon cultivators left, he showed up. He is always good at seizing opportunities."

Ling Jiuan's face darkened, and she vaguely guessed something.

"So, those people are not here to celebrate the birthday, but to make connections?"

Lei Tingyi nodded, looking solemn.

"Most likely. The Cheng family is colluding with the demon cultivators. This is not a good thing. We have to be careful."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel worried.

If the Cheng family is really in collusion with the evil cultivators, then the conspiracy and danger hidden behind this banquet may be far beyond their imagination.

She glanced at Lei Tingyi and found that his expression was also extremely solemn, and it was obvious that he attached great importance to this matter.

About half an hour later, the group of men in black finally left, as if their appearance was just a brief episode at the banquet.

Ling Jiuze also appeared behind Cheng Xuan at the right time, with a nonchalant smile on his face, as if everything that happened before had nothing to do with him.

Cheng Xuan looked at the guests and spoke with a smile.

"Today is my birthday party, just for fun, you can enjoy yourself. Whether it's admiring flowers, tasting wine or enjoying music, please feel free to do so."

His tone was full of confidence, because he knew in his heart that he had kept his contacts with the demon cultivators very secret and there was no way other people would know about it.

So, no matter how these guests watch and have fun, they will not find any problems.

However, Ling Jiuan and Lei Tingyi looked at each other, and they both understood what was hidden behind Cheng Xuan's confidence.

The banquet gradually reached its climax, with melodious music, guests laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was very lively.

However, in this joyful atmosphere, Ling Jiuan and Lei Tingyi looked at each other.

They know that now is the best opportunity

So, the two of them quietly left the table and decided to secretly investigate the identities and purposes of those men in black.

They shuttled through the corners and corridors of the banquet hall, avoiding the bustling crowd, looking for possible clues.

Ling Jiuan said softly to Lei Tingyi.

"Who do you think those men in black are from? Why did they appear at the Cheng family's banquet?"

Lei Tingyi frowned and pondered.

"I don't know their exact identities, but what is certain is that they are related to the demon cultivators. As for their purpose, I think it may be related to Cheng Xuan or Ling Jiuze. We must act carefully and not alert the enemy."

As they talked, they continued to look for clues.

At this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed Ling Jiuan's arm. She subconsciously thought that she was in danger and punched him.

Only after hearing a cry of pain did Jiuan realize that it was Chen Yan.

She looked at Chen Yan speechlessly.

"What are you doing? You suddenly appeared and scared me."

Chen Yan covered his eyes, looking aggrieved.

"I was wondering what you were doing. You reacted so violently. It hurt me so much. I just wanted to talk to you, but I didn't expect you to suddenly do that."

Ling Jiuan withdrew her hand somewhat embarrassedly. She had not expected that her reaction would be so strong.

She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that no one else was paying attention.

"I'm sorry, I was too nervous just now. Things are a little complicated here. I thought you were those men in black."

Chen Yan rubbed his eyes and said with a wry smile.

"I know things here are complicated, but I'm not a man in black. I just want to talk to you and see if I can help."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, his heart moved.

She thought about it and felt that Chen Yan might be able to help.

So, she nodded.

"Okay, let's find a place to talk."

The two men pulled Chen Yan to a relatively secluded room. As soon as Ling Jiuan entered the room, he glanced at Chen Yan and spoke bluntly.

"Undress."

Chen Yan widened his eyes and looked at Ling Jiuan in astonishment, suspecting that he had heard it wrongly.

"What are you doing? I am the young master of a family after all, you...how can I accept this?"

Ling Jiuan curled his lips and looked at Chen Yan speechlessly.

"Aren't you going to help me? Then stop dawdling, take off your clothes, and change clothes with Lei Tingyi."

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, then he understood Ling Jiuan's intention.

He glanced at Lei Tingyi and saw that he also had a serious expression on his face, so he stopped hesitating and began to take off his coat.

"You want us to pretend to be you?"

Chen Yan asked as he took off his clothes.

Ling Jiuan nodded.

"That's right. I want to see what those men in black are doing, but Lei Tingyi and I's identities are too sensitive and easy to be discovered. So, we need you to cover for us."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan immediately understood Ling Jiuan's plan.

He quickly took off his coat and exchanged clothes with Lei Tingyi.

The two have similar figures, and after changing clothes, they do look somewhat similar at first glance.

"That'll be fine?"

Chen Yan put on Lei Tingyi's clothes and asked a little uncomfortably.

Ling Jiuan looked at him carefully and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yeah, that's good. You are now 'Thunder Bling', remember not to reveal yourself."
