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

Ling Jiuan was walking on the rugged mountain road, but his heart was filled with uneasy waves.

She never expected that her reputation in Spark City had been ruined to such an extent that she had become a villain that everyone wanted to kill.

The source of all this was nothing but Madam Na Lan's vicious scheme and the false accusation of "colluding with the devil" against herself.

"Jiuan, look, there seems to be someone in front."

Chen Yan said in a low voice, his eyes alert, always on guard against possible danger.

Ling Jiuan took a closer look and found that they were indeed people sent by the Chen family. However, the strongest of these people was only at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Facing those killers who followed them like shadows, they were undoubtedly sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.

After the group met, Ling Jiuan was ready to go their separate ways.

She was worried and frowned as she spoke to the people from the Chen family.

"I appreciate your kindness. But your strength is limited. Why don't you take your young master and leave first? There are experts behind me who are willing to protect me. It would be dangerous for you to follow me."

Hearing this, Chen Yan's face instantly became a little unhappy, and he widened his eyes.

"Ling Jiuan, what are you talking about? We are following you, so we can at least take care of each other! We have been through life and death together all this time, so how can I abandon you?"

Ling Jiuan shook her head, a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes. She reached out and patted Chen Yan's shoulder, speaking earnestly.

"You saw that the people they sent are either at the peak of the Golden Core stage or Yuanying level. If this continues, it will be too dangerous for you to follow me. I can't let you fall into danger because of me."

Chen Yan had a complicated expression when he heard that. He pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something but held back.

In the end, he just sighed heavily, his eyes revealing reluctance and helplessness.

He knew that what Ling Jiuan said was true and it was indeed too dangerous for them to follow her.

And he also knew that he really wasn't of any help.

"Okay, Jiuan, take care of yourself. Our Chen family will definitely find a way to clear your name."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he turned around and winked at the people from the Chen family, indicating that they should prepare to leave.

Ling Jiuan felt relieved as he watched Chen Yan's departing back.

After the Chen family members left, silence returned to the surroundings again, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the forest.

At this moment, the person who had been following behind in the dark spoke in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Miss Ling Wu. We brothers will escort you to Spark City. But to avoid unnecessary trouble, in Spark City, it depends on your own ability and luck."

Ling Jiuan was stunned. She didn't expect that there was someone following her, and judging from the voice, it seemed that he was an expert.

She turned around and looked around, but found no one.

She frowned and asked.

"There are two of you?"

Lei Shi's voice came again, with a hint of smile.

"Yes, two people, Nascent Soul Eighth Level."

Hearing this, Jiuan felt a little relieved.

She knew that with the secret protection of these two Nascent Soul Level 8 masters, she could at least reach Spark City safely.

She spoke gratefully.

"Thank you for your help, but I would like to ask you to do the same as before and not to take action unless it is necessary. Just think of it as... letting them strengthen my body."

After saying that, Ling Jiuan turned around again and continued walking towards Xinghuo City.

After Chen Yan walked away, his eyes became deep and his heart was filled with worry about Ling Jiuan.

He glanced at the subordinate beside him and gave serious instructions.

"Check where the young master of the Ling family is now, and quickly go and tell him about Ling Jiuan's current situation. He is Ling Jiuan's elder brother, and he is extremely powerful. If he returns to Xinghuo City, he should be fine when Ling Jiuan arrives at the Ling family."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate immediately took the order and left. He knew that Chen Yan's concern for Ling Jiuan was not false, and if the young master of the Ling family knew about his sister's experience, he would definitely help her.

Chen Yan continued on his way, but his heart was unsettled.

He had been thinking about how to help Ling Jiuan clear her grievances and how to make sure she got the protection and respect she deserved after returning to Xinghuo City.

He knew that this was not an easy task, but he was willing to work hard and give it a try for Ling Jiuan.

After all, he is that kind of person!

How could I fall into this unreasonable scheme?

At the same time, he was also indignant at Mrs. Lan's cruel methods.

He understood that all this was a conspiracy set up by Mrs. Lan to consolidate the status of her children in the family.

But such means are too vicious.

However, he also believed that as long as he and Ling Jiuan's elder brother joined forces, they would be able to clear Ling Jiuan's grievances and allow her to regain her foothold in Xinghuo City.

On the way to Xinghuo City, Ling Jiuan encountered increasingly powerful killers, most of whom were masters in the early Nascent Soul stage.

Although she could barely fight against one or two enemies, she could never gain the upper hand and was in danger many times.

However, whenever there was a crisis, there were always two figures quietly appearing behind her to help her resolve the crisis.

Lei Shi and Remi, two Nascent Soul Level 8 masters, have been hiding in the dark, silently guarding Ling Jiuan.

They knew that Ling Jiuan had her own persistence and pride, so they always chose to take action at the most critical moment, ensuring her safety without making her feel overly dependent.

Every time after escaping danger, Ling Jiuan would be grateful to the people behind her. Although she could not see Lei Shi and Remi, she knew they must be there.

She secretly rejoiced in her heart that with the secret protection of these two masters, she could at least reach Spark City safely.

Just like that, after a month, Ling Jiuan finally set foot on the land of Xinghuo City.

However, as soon as she reached the city gate, she was surrounded by Ling Jiuze and his men.

Ling Jiuan looked at Ling Jiuze with a complicated expression. She didn't expect that her second brother would come out in person to deal with her.

"Second brother, what do you mean?"

Ling Jiuan tried to remain calm as she didn't want to cause too much commotion at the city gate.

Ling Jiuze smiled coldly, his eyes full of indifference.

"Ling Jiuan, you are colluding with the devil, do you know your crime?"

His voice was cold, almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

Ling Jiuan sneered when he heard this.

"I colluded with the devil? Second brother, have you lost your mind? How can you pin such a trumped-up crime on me?"

You really are good at confusing right and wrong!

Ling Jiuze shouted angrily, and his face became ferocious.

"If she refuses to repent, come on, capture her and hang her on the city wall. When she admits her mistake, let her down."

His voice echoed throughout the city gate, attracting countless people to watch.

Afterwards, a group of masters rushed forward. Although Ling Jiuan was very powerful, she was still defeated by so many people and was eventually tied to the city wall.
