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

Ling Jiuan looked at Ling Jiurong's still cold face, feeling helpless.

She sighed softly, her eyes full of sincerity.

"Fourth sister, you might as well check whether it was Madam Lan who did it. To be honest, I have been secretly investigating this matter and have already got some clues."

When Ling Jiurong heard this, a sneer appeared on her lips, and her eyes were full of disdain.

"Ling Jiuan, are you trying to evade responsibility? You're trying to evade the responsibility of killing your mother, right?"

Mrs. Lan?

How can it be?

How could my mother give Madam Lan the opportunity to take advantage of me at that time?

When Ling Jiuan heard this, he felt a pain in his heart.

She looked at Ling Jiurong, her eyes full of helplessness and sadness.

"Seeing that you won't listen, I can do nothing about it. Forget it, if you don't believe me. But I'm curious, if you don't believe me at all, why did you send me food and drinks today? Did you do it to laugh at me?"

There was a hint of bitterness in her tone and her eyes were full of disappointment.

Although she has no expectations, it does not affect her being sad about it because of the influence of her bloodline.

Ling Jiurong looked calm and did not feel the slightest bit of guilt or uneasiness because of Ling Jiuan's words.

She spoke coldly.

"What else? I came to see your miserable state, so naturally I have to laugh at you."

Her tone was relaxed and natural, as if this was really the only reason she was here.

But in fact, she herself didn't know why she had to come here.

Ling Jiuan was speechless for a moment. She looked at Ling Jiurong's cold face and an indescribable sadness surged in her heart.

She shook her head, with a hint of helplessness and pain in her tone.

"Why are you so stubborn? All of this is just a trap set by Ling Jiuze. Regardless of whether I have colluded with the demon cultivators or not, he will definitely come up with false evidence in seven days and put me to death."

Ling Jiurong shook her sleeves and spoke coldly.

"That's your business. I'm not your eldest brother and I won't care about you."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving behind a cold back.

Ling Jiuan looked at Ling Jiurong's departing back and felt helpless.

She sighed softly, her eyes full of helplessness and sadness.

I don’t know if Jiurong will regret it when she finds out the truth one day.

Seven days passed quickly like flowing water. Just as Ling Jiuan had expected, Ling Jiuze put on an awe-inspiring look in public.

He held a forged piece of evidence in his hand, and sternly accused Ling Jiuan of colluding with the evil cultivators and bringing endless disasters to Xinghuo City.

"Everyone, take a look at this evidence. It clearly shows Ling Jiuan's collusion with the demon cultivators! For her own selfish interests, she is willing to sacrifice the safety of the entire Xinghuo City!"

Ling Jiuze's voice resounded through the sky, trying to nail Ling Jiuan to the pillar of shame.

Ling Jiuan, this time, you just have to wait for death!

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in anger and curses.

Countless rotten eggs fell on Ling Jiuan like raindrops, accompanied by bursts of harsh curses, as if to drown her in the endless darkness.

However, despite the barrage of insults and insults, Ling Jiuan did not give in.

She clenched her teeth and tried her best to keep her balance and not fall down.

Ling Jiuan will never give in easily!

This farce lasted for a long time until people from the City Lord's Mansion stepped in to stop it, and it gradually subsided.

Xinghuo City Lord Xing Zeluo slowly descended in front of everyone. His eyes swept across everyone present and finally stopped on Ling Jiuze.

He spoke calmly, his voice revealing an unquestionable majesty.

"Since the evidence is conclusive, how does the Ling family plan to deal with Miss Ling Wu?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuze immediately bowed humbly with a sinister smile on his face.

"To the city lord, of course, Ling Jiuan will be punished with the Fire God Whip in public at the Ling family's martial arts arena. This is the punishment she deserves for colluding with the demon cultivators, and it is also necessary to maintain the reputation of the Ling family."

Xing Zeluo narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he slowly nodded.

"In that case, let's follow what Second Young Master Ling said. Three days later, we will execute the Fire Whip family law at the Ling family. As for these three days, Ling Jiuan will continue to hang on the city wall! This is also a warning to her, so that the people of Xinghuo City can see how miserable the fate of colluding with the devil cultivators is."

After saying that, Xing Zeluo turned and left, leaving behind a dead silence.

Ling Jiuze turned around and looked at Ling Jiuan with pretended pain, but a hint of coldness and complacency flashed in his eyes.

He shook his head and sighed.

"Fifth sister, tell me, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? If you hadn't colluded with the demon cultivators, how could you have ended up like this? This is really heartbreaking!"

Ling Jiuan smiled coldly. She looked at Ling Jiuze's hypocritical face and felt an indescribable anger in her heart.

All of this was Ling Jiuze's conspiracy and frame-up. He always used any means to achieve his goals.

She spoke coldly.

"Ling Jiuze, God is watching what people do. The truth will always come out. Do you think you can cover up everything? Do you think you can get away with it forever? I tell you, one day, I will find out the truth and clear my name!"

Ling Jiuze shook his head disapprovingly. He looked at Ling Jiuan's determined face, and a feeling of disdain and ridicule surged in his heart.

"Since Fifth Sister refuses to repent, then reflect on it! Three days later, the Fire God Whip family rules will show no mercy. When the time comes, don't blame me, your brother, for not reminding you."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Ling Jiuze returned to the Ling family and hurried straight to his father Ling Changfeng's yard.

His face looked solemn, but his heart was full of pride and anticipation.

As he entered the yard, he immediately bowed to his father.

"Father, regarding Jiuan's matter, only the Fire God Whip family rules can calm the public anger."

Ling Changfeng glanced at him indifferently, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.

"You have already spoken in front of the city lord, so naturally I have no choice. The Fire God Whip Family Law, let's just use the Fire God Whip Family Law."

When Ling Jiuze heard this, he felt secretly delighted.

He understood that once the Fire God Whip family rules were implemented, Jiuan would have no chance of recovery.

"Don't worry, father. I will definitely take care of this matter."

After Ling Jiuze left, Ling Changfeng sat alone in the yard, staring at the distant sky, with an indescribable regret in his heart.

He recalled Ling Jiuan's intelligence and cleverness when she was a child, and thought she would be a genius in the Ling family, bringing endless glory and honor to the family.

However, the facts today make him heartbroken.

Ling Jiuan actually colluded with evil cultivators and practiced evil ways.
