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

Three days passed by quickly like flowing water, but for Ling Jiuan, these three days were like being in endless darkness.

She was hung on the city wall and endured torture for ten days and ten nights, suffering great physical and mental damage.

When she was finally let down from the city wall, she reeked of rotten eggs, her clothes were tattered, and she looked in a disheveled state.

Upon seeing this, Xinghuo City's Young Lord Xing Tianye felt an indescribable sympathy and pity in his heart.

He subconsciously gave Ling Jiuan a cleansing technique to help her remove the filth and odor from her body.

Ling Jiuan felt refreshed and comfortable in her body, she looked up at Xing Tianye.

"Thank you."

Xing Tianye frowned. He looked at Ling Jiuan's determined and stubborn face, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He shook his head and sighed.

"It's okay, but what Miss Fifth will face today is probably..."

He wanted to help his future sister-in-law, but unfortunately Ling Jiurong was unwilling.

Ling Jiuan curled his lips.

She understood Xing Tianye's worries and concerns, but she was also aware of her own situation and fate.

"Thank you for the reminder, Young City Lord. I know it very well."

Afterwards, she followed the Ling family back to their home.

Although her steps were a little unsteady, her eyes were extremely firm.

Who will be subject to the Fire God Whip family discipline? It is still unknown!

Ling Jiuan was brought back to the Ling family. Along the way, she felt mixed emotions.

The moment she stepped into Ling's house, she saw Liu Zhu and Liu Ying who had been imprisoned for a month.

As soon as the two saw Ling Jiuan, they immediately ran over excitedly, their eyes full of concern and worry.

"master!"

Liuzhu and Liuying shouted in unison, but they had only taken a few steps when they were stopped by the Ling family's guards.

"Don't come near!"

The guard spoke coldly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Ling Jiuan glanced at Liuzhu and Liuying, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

She knew that no matter what happened to her, these two maids would always stand by her side and never leave her.

Maybe it wasn't for her, but for her mother.

She smiled lightly.

"I'm fine!"

Her voice was soft though.

Afterwards, she was escorted to the martial arts arena by the Ling family's guards. In the center of the martial arts arena, there was a high platform on which was placed the Ling family's thousand-year-old Fire God Whip.

The whip was fiery red all over, containing endless flames and power. Just lying there quietly, it gave people a sense of majesty and oppression.

Ling Jiuan was brought to the stage, and her eyes swept over everyone present.

The Ling family members, the people of Xinghuo City, and the cultivators and warriors who came to watch the fun...

Their eyes were filled with curiosity, ridicule, or sympathy...

On the high platform, Ling Changfeng, as the head of the family, sat on the high position. His eyes were cold and majestic.

He looked coldly at his daughter kneeling in front of him, his voice filled with unquestionable majesty.

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

Ling Jiuan smiled coldly, she raised her head and looked at her father.

"I don't know. I didn't do it. Why should I admit it?"

When Ling Changfeng heard this, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect Ling Jiuan to be so stubborn and refuse to repent.

He spoke coldly.

"The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"

Ling Jiuan shook his head.

"Father, evidence can be fabricated, but there is only one truth. I ask for a chance to find out the truth."

Ling Changfeng frowned. He looked at Ling Jiuan's determined and stubborn face, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

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

"Okay, I'll give you a chance. But if you can't find out the truth, then the Fire God Whip family rules will be merciless."

Ling Jiuan was excited when he heard this.

This cheap father is really useful!

Seeing this, Jiuze felt flustered.

He didn't expect that his father would give Ling Jiuan a chance to find out the truth, which instantly made his original plan fail.

He fell to his knees with a thud, his tone filled with a hint of urgency and panic.

"Father, think twice. I found the evidence myself. Are you suspicious of me?"

Ling Changfeng looked at Ling Jiuze, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He understood Ling Jiuze's anxiety and fear, but he also knew the seriousness of the matter.

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

"Jiu Ze, I am not suspicious of you. However, evidence can be forged, but there is only one truth. Giving Jiu An a chance is also giving the Ling family a chance. If Jiu An can find out the truth, then our Ling family can also clear our grievances and restore our reputation."

When Ling Jiuze heard this, he felt unwilling.

He knew that once Ling Jiuan began to find out the truth, his conspiracy would be exposed.

However, he also understood that his father's decision was irreversible.

He could only grit his teeth and nodded reluctantly.

"Yes, I understand, kid."

Ling Changfeng looked at Ling Jiuze, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

He understood his son's thoughts and ambitions, but he also knew that he had to give Ling Jiuan a chance.

He stood up slowly, his tone holding a hint of authority.

"Then do as I say. Jiuan, you have one hour to find out the truth. If you can't do it, then the Fire God Whip family rules will be merciless."

Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath, their faces filled with surprise and doubt.

One hour is too short a time to find evidence of collusion with the devil, and it is almost an impossible task.

They were whispering and discussing among themselves, expressing their doubts about Ling Jiuan's statement.

However, Ling Jiuan just smiled faintly.

She understood that although time was tight, the truth often only needed a glimmer of opportunity to be revealed.

She spoke slowly, her voice clear and firm.

"No need to check. All the famous and upright sects have always been able to test whether a person has evil spirits. Just test directly. This will not only prove my innocence, but also let the truth come to light."

Her proposal stunned everyone present. They looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

However, Ling Changfeng nodded slowly. He understood that this was a simple and direct method that could quickly verify Ling Jiuan's innocence.

"Okay, let's do as Jiuan said. Come on, prepare the ritual to test the evil spirit."

Following Ling Changfeng's order, the guards of the Ling family acted quickly and began to prepare for the ceremony to test for the evil spirit.

Their busy figures shuttled back and forth across the training ground, and soon everything was ready.

Ling Jiuze stood in the audience, staring at Ling Jiuan on the stage with a complicated expression.

Your own people cannot do anything in this situation, and the test results may be unfavorable to you.

He originally thought that by forging evidence and framing Ling Jiuan, he could easily put him to death.

However, it now seems that everything is not as he wished.

Ling Jiuan's proposal caught him off guard. He didn't expect that she would suggest directly testing the evil spirit to prove her innocence.
