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

Seeing Chen Yan being taken away by the head of the Chen family, Jiuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was hanging on the city wall. Although her body was fine due to the body training, the torment in her heart was indescribable.

Chen Yan’s impulsiveness just now made her both moved and worried.

She knew very well that if Chen Yan had really rushed over just now, the entire Chen family would have been implicated.

Although the Chen family's position in Xinghuo City is stable, it cannot withstand a direct confrontation with the City Lord's Mansion.

She couldn't afford to owe such a favor, and she didn't want to see the Chen family get into trouble because of her.

Ling Jiuan shook his head gently, feeling mixed emotions.

She understood that now she could only rely on herself or wait for Ling Jiucheng's return.

She closed her eyes, tried to calm her inner turmoil, and began to think about how to save herself.

As time passed, the crowd under the city wall gradually dispersed.

Ling Jiuan hung alone on the city wall, becoming a unique landscape of Xinghuo City.

At night, the Ling family mansion was silent, with only the occasional sound of night patrol breaking the tranquility.

However, in Ling Jiurong's yard, an unusual figure sneaked in.

This person is none other than Xinghuo City’s young city lord, Xing Tianye.

At that time, Ling Jiurong had just come out of the bath. She was wearing thin pajamas, her long hair was casually scattered, and she had a relaxed and happy smile on her face.

Her face was extremely similar to her mother's, and she usually had no sense of presence, but at this moment she was free and radiant, like a neglected pearl that finally blossomed with its own light.

As soon as Xing Tianye entered the door, he saw this scene and couldn't help but marvel at it.

"Fortunately, I am the only one who knows this scene, otherwise... I don't know how many more love rivals I would have!"

Ling Jiurong heard the voice and looked back at him. Seeing that it was Xing Tianye, she couldn't help but frowned, with a bit of helplessness and blame in her tone.

"What nonsense! Why are you here?"

Xing Tianye chuckled, moved closer, and spoke with a playful smile.

"I heard that you look particularly beautiful tonight, so I came here specially to see you. It turns out that you are as beautiful as the saying goes!"

When Ling Jiurong heard this, her face turned slightly red. She glared at Xing Tianye and said angrily.

"You are really becoming more and more out of character! Go away before anyone finds you."

Xing Tianye didn't care, he chuckled.

"Don't worry, I won't be discovered. But you, why are you here alone? Have you heard about Ling Jiuan's situation?"

When Ling Jiurong heard this, her expression darkened and she nodded slightly.

Xing Tianye looked at her with a complicated expression, thinking secretly in his heart. He understood that although Ling Jiurong said that she didn't care, in fact, she was still very concerned about Ling Jiuan's affairs.

After all, they are sisters and blood is thicker than water.

he asked tentatively.

"After all, she is your biological sister. Do you want to go and see her?"

Ling Jiurong's face darkened and she looked at Xing Tianye coldly.

"What a joke! She killed my mother. Why would I go to see her? I wish she would disappear from my world forever!"

Xing Tianye looked at her with helplessness.

He knew that the resentment in Ling Jiurong's heart could not be resolved overnight.

He sighed.

"You're just being stubborn. If you didn't care about her at all, why would you have people surrounding her Jiu'an Hall? Aren't you just afraid that Ling Jiuze would slip false evidence into her yard?"

Ling Jiurong was touched by Xing Tianye's words. Her face changed slightly, but then she returned to her cold expression.

She snorted coldly.

"So what? I just don't want her to be wrongly accused. It doesn't mean I forgive her."

Xing Tianye looked at her stubborn look and felt helpless.

He knew that some things could not be changed overnight.

He shook his head gently?

Well, whatever you say. But I still hope you can go and see her. After all, she is your sister. "

Ling Jiurong did not answer, she just looked at Xing Tianye coldly. But she also understood that Xing Tianye's words were not without reason.

Perhaps, she should really go and see Ling Jiuan and see what she has become.

Ling Jiurong sighed, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

Finally, she nodded slowly.

"Tomorrow, I'll go take a look."

Xing Tianye felt a little relieved when he heard this.

He knew that it was very rare for Ling Jiurong to take this step.

But he still hoped that Ling Jiurong would not have any regrets.

He nodded and couldn't help but remind her again.

"You have to be mentally prepared. Ling Jiuze is going to take Ling Jiuan's life this time. You..."

However, Ling Jiurong still had a cold face, and there was a hint of indifference in her tone.

"She's dead. If she really died, it was what she deserved."

Xing Tianye looked at her resolute expression and felt helpless.

The next day, Ling Jiurong went up to the city wall early in the morning with her maid and a food box.

She was wearing gorgeous clothes and walked lightly, but there was a subtle hint of complex emotions in her eyes.

Because Xing Tianye had given notice in advance, no one dared to stop her.

She successfully arrived at the place where Ling Jiuan was hanging. Seeing her sister end up like this, she felt mixed emotions.

Ling Jiuan was a little surprised to see her.

She struggled to raise her head and asked in a hoarse voice.

"How did you come?"

Ling Jiurong sneered and walked closer to Ling Jiuan.

"Let me see how miserable you are now. You killed my mother back then, and now this is your retribution!"

Ling Jiuan's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, he just looked at her quietly.

"Ling Jiurong, would you rather believe these groundless speculations than investigate the cause of your mother's death?"

She stood silently for a while, then opened the food box, which contained some exquisite snacks and tea.

She handed one to Ling Jiuan.

"Eat, at least don't starve to death."

Ling Jiuan was stunned for a moment, then started eating.

In this way, the two sisters ate their food silently on the city wall without saying a word to each other.

After Ling Jiuan finished drinking the water and eating, Ling Jiurong spoke lightly with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll drug you?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan just smiled lightly.

"If you drugged him, how can you face your mother in heaven? She has always taught you and your brother to be upright and not to do such despicable things."

When Ling Jiurong heard this, her expression changed slightly.

She had indeed thought about drugging Ling Jiuan out of resentment, letting her die painfully on the city wall.

However, the thought only flashed through my mind.

Ling Jiuan is her sister after all.

She soon recalled the scene of her mother's death and the grievances and sufferings she had endured over the years.

She gritted her teeth and spoke coldly.

"Hmph, don't think I'll let you go so easily. You killed my mother, I must avenge you!"
