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

"You want to go and watch the ring defense competition?"

Ling Changfeng paused while drinking his tea and glared at Ling Jiuan unhappily: "You fell into the water yesterday and managed to save your life. Why don't you just stay at home? Why are you running around?"

Ling Jiuxi couldn't help feeling suffocated when she saw Lei Tingyi standing in the corridor.

She couldn't help but sneer at Ling Jiuan: "Fifth sister, don't join in the fun. Today, the defenders are all strong people with spiritual roots fighting each other. Even if you come to watch the fight, you won't be able to use the experience."

Madam Lan stood up and said with a smile, "Okay, Fifth Girl, just rest at home. What's so interesting about fighting in the ring?"

Seeing that no one wanted to go out by themselves, Jiuan was speechless.

It would be fine if Ling Changfeng thought she was embarrassing, but why were Madam Lan and her daughter afraid of her going out?

wrong.

Ling Jiuan looked at Madam Lan and suddenly thought of something.

Ling Jiuze was able to refine pills at home and hide it from so many people. Madam Lan must have been helping him!

Madam Lan didn't want her to go out. Was she worried that she would spread rumors about Ling Jiuze reselling the Fire Cloud Pill?

When she thought of this, Ling Jiuan instantly understood why Madam Lan wanted her to stay at home and didn't want her to go out.

But she insisted on going out.

Even if there was no concrete evidence to prove that Ling Jiuze sold the Fire Cloud Pill to the eldest son of the Wen family, she would still go to watch the competition to make those people with guilty consciences nervous and uneasy.

Ling Jiuan immediately revealed a pitiful expression, and said weakly: "I am entrusted with a mission by the Ling family. I know that I am not strong enough, so I want to watch other people's competitions. Even if I can only learn some physical skills, I will have a better chance of finding spirit beast feathers."

She knew what Ling Changfeng cared about most, so she pulled at the feathers of the golden phoenix spirit beast.

Sure enough, when Ling Changfeng heard that she planned to do her best to find the feathers and make as much preparations as possible for it, his expression eased a little.

He hummed and said, "Since you have this intention, then go out and watch how others fight. It will be worth my giving birth to you."

Ling Jiuan's mouth twitched.

Didn't Ling Jiuan's mother give birth to her after ten months of pregnancy? Ling Changfeng had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, yet he had the audacity to say such things.

It's really shameless.

Ling Jiuan secretly complained, but said with a fake smile: "Thank you, father. I will go out with Lei Tingyi."

"Wait, you take this man with you wherever you go, aren't you afraid of what others will say?"

Ling Jiuxi felt a little restless and stood up to question.

Lei Tingyi glanced at her coldly and said calmly, "My words and deeds with Fifth Miss are innocent. I only want to help her improve her strength and have no other intentions. Please rest assured, Third Miss."

"I..." Ling Jiuxi's face turned red.

Lei Tingyi stood with his hands behind his back, still calm and composed: "Your family is so great that I, an unknown junior, dare not approach you. I hope the master of the family will understand."

Ling Changfeng nodded in satisfaction, "Master Lei Ting, please don't take it personally. This time my daughter was able to successfully defend the ring because of your help. We in the Ling family are not ungrateful people."

After saying this, he warned Ling Jiuxi with his eyes.

Ling Jiuxi immediately became obedient, lowered his head and pouted in grievance, feeling more and more resentful towards Ling Jiuan in his heart.

Ling Jiuan was delighted to see her being humiliated, and he escaped with Lei Tingyi.

When they arrived, the competition had already begun.

On the stage, the young master of the Wen family raised his head confidently and made a gesture of invitation to the person who came to challenge him.

Seeing his determination to win, there was nothing Jiuan didn't understand.

It is obvious that he has already eaten the Fire Cloud Pill.

She couldn't understand, what's the point of deceiving others? Even if she was promoted temporarily, wouldn't she be the one who got hurt in the end?

All these practitioners have worked hard for many years and dare not slack off for even a moment.

If you can't accept that you are not as good as others, you will never achieve anything in your life.

As Ling Jiuan was thinking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"You still have the leisure to come here to watch the competition? Didn't you get scared to death when you fell into the water last night?"

Hearing this annoying voice, Jiuan closed his eyes and was too lazy to look at the other person.

"Can you stay away from me? It's bad luck."

Some people looked over and talked in low voices.

"Aren't those the Second Young Master and the Fifth Young Miss of the Ling Family? I've heard that the Fifth Young Miss doesn't have a close relationship with her other brothers and sisters, but it seems that the Second Young Master is quite close to her."

"That's right. The Second Young Master is a very nice person. He never puts on airs in front of us cultivators. He is a very good person."

Hearing this, Ling Jiuan almost vomited.

It turns out that Ling Jiuze pretends to be so decent outside.

Ling Jiuze was smiling and looking at Ling Jiuan with extremely gentle eyes, as if he was looking at his own sister.

"I warned you not to provoke me. I didn't kill you last night, you were lucky to have escaped. Why are you still so reckless and have to come out to provoke me?"

He was smiling, and to outsiders who didn't know the situation, it looked like he was joking with his sister.

Ling Jiuan was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to speak, a figure suddenly blocked her way.

Lei Tingyi blocked her line of sight and looked at Ling Jiuze indifferently: "From now on, I will protect her well. If you dare to deal with her, first consider your own strength and whether you are my opponent."

Ling Jiuan almost choked on his saliva.

This guy, hasn't his inner cultivation been sealed? Now he doesn't have any spiritual power at all, why would he say such things to offend Ling Jiuze?

However, Ling Jiuze did not get angry or mock him. Instead, he looked at Lei Tingyi with fear and asked cautiously, "Who are you? Why are you protecting a loser like Ling Jiuan?"

Lei Tingyi narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: "She is not someone you can scold. Don't let me hear it a second time. Get out!"

As he spoke, he released extremely strong spiritual pressure.

Spiritual pressure is not restricted by the seal of cultivation. It is a kind of momentum that is naturally formed through cultivation over time.

When masters fight, they usually release spiritual pressure to tell their opponents that they are not to be trifled with.

If one's own spiritual pressure unilaterally crushes the opponent, the person affected by the spiritual pressure will feel tremors in the liver and gallbladder, and suffer from headaches and tinnitus.

This naturally made Jiuze feel a little uncomfortable.

He immediately distanced himself from Lei Tingyi, looked at him several times before snorting and leaving.

"Hey, he's leaving now? You told him to leave and he left. Why does he listen to you so much?"

Ling Jiuan looked Lei Tingyi up and down, full of surprise.

Lei Tingyi was about to speak when an excited voice came from behind him.

"Hey, Ling Jiuan!"

Ling Jiuan turned around and saw a man being supported by guards. He was limping as if he had been beaten.

"Chen Yan?"

She raised an eyebrow.

The young master of the Chen family was knocked unconscious by her before, and he probably holds a grudge against her now.

As soon as he saw her, he came over to find trouble.

Ling Jiuan hid behind Lei Tingyi calmly and warned: "Young Master Chen, if you have something to say, please talk it over nicely. It's not a good idea to make too much noise in public, right?"
