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

Seeing that the guards and maids were about to arrive, Ling Jiuze realized that this was Ling Jiuan's plan. He wanted to make a noise on purpose to make him afraid to take action!

He was so angry that he clenched his fists, glared at Ling Jiuan hatefully, and had to leave the scene first.

Half an hour later, Ling Jiuan was rescued back to the yard by a maid.

Now the whole Ling family knows that the good-for-nothing Fifth Miss can’t swim and she almost lost her life while taking a walk in the back garden in the middle of the night.

When Ling Changfeng found out about this, he was very angry and said bluntly that he would not come to visit such a shameful thing.

While Ling Jiuan was listening to the maid's message, he was sitting on the edge of the couch, wrapped in a quilt and drinking ginger soup.

She rubbed her red nose and handed the bowl of soup to the maid: "I'm done, you..."

The maid took a step back, deliberately not taking the empty bowl, and said disdainfully: "Since the Fifth Miss is fine, I will take my leave. It was you who didn't want anyone to serve here. If you feel unwell, you can't blame me."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Ling Jiuan was speechless. Just as he was about to get up, a bony hand took the bowl.

"Who wants to kill you?"

Ling Jiuan raised his eyes and met a pair of eyes that were slightly worried and angry.

She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and said sullenly, "It was Ling Jiuze. I couldn't sleep so I went to the back garden to relax. I ran into him secretly refining the Fire Cloud Pill and had his men sell it to those defenders."

"The Fire Cloud Pill is a taboo for practitioners. It can improve strength in a short period of time, but after the effect wears off, it will backfire on the user and even destroy the Qi in the Dantian. He is harming people."

Lei Tingyi frowned slightly.

He didn't expect Ling Jiuze to do this.

Once this matter is exposed, those who have suffered greatly from the Fire Cloud Pill will come knocking on our door.

By then, the reputation of the entire Ling family will be affected.

Ling Jiuan was a little annoyed: "He has already sold three pills, which means at least one person and at most three people will take the Fire Cloud Pill. Is there any way to stop it?"

Lei Tingyi stared at her little face, which had turned pale due to the cold after falling into the water, and couldn't understand it.

"You've become such a mess, and you still have the heart to worry about those who take shortcuts? They are willing to fight and suffer, and they deserve it even if they have to pay the price for it."

"But, but if they could turn back from their mistakes, wouldn't they avoid the backlash?" Ling Jiuan couldn't help but retort.

Perhaps because she was used to persuading people to be good in her previous life, she still held out a glimmer of hope and wanted to help others.

Lei Tingyi sat down and said in a heavier tone: "It's a good thing that you have a sense of justice, but here, the family's reputation and defending the ring are more important than anything else. This is their choice, you can't interfere, and you don't have the ability to interfere."

The words were very sharp and made Ling Jiuan shudder in his bed.

Yes, how could she forget.

She is no longer a special forces soldier serving the people, but a waste that is looked down upon and ignored by everyone in this world.

Everyone bullied her and suppressed her.

With her limited ability, how could she think about saving others?

Here, the strong are the king, and those who do not care about themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.

It's hard enough to survive.

Ling Jiuan closed his eyes and said softly, "You are right. Those people do not work hard to win by strength, but like to hurt themselves and take shortcuts. I can't care so much about that."

"What you have to do now is to be on guard against Ling Jiuze. You hold his secret in your hands, and he will not stop until he gets rid of you. You can use spells to escape once, but you can't escape a second time. You must know that his strength is far superior to yours."

Lei Tingyi walked to the stove and added another bowl of ginger soup to Ling Jiuan.

When Ling Jiuan took it, he smelled the faint fragrance on him and felt very at ease.

"But now, apart from training my body and learning spells day after day, what other methods can I use to improve my strength? If my progress is too slow, my situation will become more and more dangerous."

When she said this, she couldn't help but frown.

Spells are not omnipotent.

Tonight, she was able to block the fatal blow with the help of the power of moonlight and the fact that the spell she learned happened to be water-related, while Ling Jiuze's spiritual power was fire-related.

Next time, Jiuze will be on guard and will never fail again.

Lei Tingyi turned around and said, "There is a spiritual beast in the secret realm, named Blue Bird. It guards an ancient sacred elixir. It is said that eating it can greatly increase your cultivation. Although I don't know what will happen if you eat it since you don't have spiritual roots, if you can get the elixir, maybe you can break through your own limits."

"Really!"

Ling Jiuan was excited and sat up straight.

"Then I must go to the secret realm to find the elixir!"

Lei Tingyi poured cold water on her: "Taking the elixir is not just talk. The blue bird is an ancient spiritual beast. Even a saint cultivator would find it difficult to defeat it. Unless you steal the elixir while it's napping, you'll die if you're not careful. Are you sure you want to try?"

"Try!" Ling Jiuan looked stubborn and determined, and snorted coldly: "If I don't increase my strength, I will be killed by Ling Jiuze anyway, so I might as well give it a try and find the elixir. This time when I open the secret realm, I must get the elixir!"

She sat like a pine tree, revealing a resolute strength that refused to admit defeat. Her face looked a little weak, but her eyes, shining like pearls, had not lost any of their charm.

Lei Tingyi was so absorbed in watching that he looked away for a long while before he said, "I know how to find the blue bird. I'll accompany you into the secret realm then."

"The secret realm is dangerous, you'd better not..." Before Ling Jiuan could finish his words, he met his determined eyes and took back the words.

"Okay, since we are good friends, let's explore the secret realm together! I will repay your kindness in the future!"

The two looked at each other, and a sense of unspoken understanding spread.

Lei Tingyi returned to the house, sat in front of the window, and reached out to his dantian with his hand.

He thought of what his father had said and the secret of his holy thunder spirit root. His eyes became deeper and deeper and he took out a blank piece of talisman paper.

Lei Tingyi bit his fingertips, wrote a few obscure spells on the talisman paper, and threw it out with two fingers.

The talisman paper flew to Ling Jiuan's window, then slipped in through the crack in the window.

He breathed a sigh of relief and unzipped his sleeves.

A red line slowly appeared on the wrist, so red that it seemed like blood could drip out.

Twin Talisman.

It can only be used by the owners of holy spiritual roots. After it takes effect, the two people who have signed the contract can sense each other.

He didn't get to the back garden in time today, and this won't happen again.

He has to continue lying dormant until his spiritual power recovers.

So that nothing can happen to Jiuan.

Thinking of this, Lei Tingyi got up and closed the window.

Day two.

Ling Jiuan got up early to exercise.

The servants came and went outside, only mocking her for accidentally falling into the water and almost dying yesterday, and did not mention Ling Jiuze.

It seems that Ling Jiuze left in time, and no one saw him by the pond.

The Fire Cloud Pill has been sold by Ling Jiuze.

Sold to the Wen family.

So this means that the Wen family member who took the Fire Cloud Pill will definitely appear on the stage today?
