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

In front of Ling's house, the sunlight sprinkled dappled on the bluestone slabs, making the place seem particularly peaceful.

Remi and Lei Shi stood side by side, their eyes falling on the tightly closed door of the Ling family at the same time.

Lei Shi sighed softly, breaking the silence.

"Now that Miss Ling is alive, it's time for us to return to the Lei Xiao Sect."

There was a hint of relief in his tone, mixed with a hint of fatigue that was barely perceptible.

These days, both of them were very nervous.

Fortunately, everything is settled.

Hearing this, Remi nodded, with a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Let's go then! We've done our best."

Having said that, he turned around and set out on the road back to the clan, with a barely perceptible eagerness in his steps.

One day later, the Lei Xiao Sect was filled with clouds and mist, and the air was filled with fairy spirit.

Remi and Lei Shi stood in front of the main hall and saluted politely.

"See the Sect Master."

Sect Leader Lei sat on a high throne, his eyes were as sharp as torches. After glancing at the two of them, he spoke lightly.

"No need to be polite, how is it?"

Lei Shi reported honestly.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, Miss Ling has now returned to the Ling Family. Although she was injured, she is recuperating and her life is safe."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Lei nodded, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

"That's good, you two have worked hard, go back and rest!"

Walking out of the hall, Remi looked at Lei Shi and couldn't help but sigh.

"What do you think? Should we go to the back mountain and tell Junior Brother that there is a man next to the person he likes?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Shi rolled his eyes at him, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Are you crazy? Junior Brother is in seclusion now, and you are disturbing his mind. Do you want him to go crazy?"

His face was full of dissatisfaction and worry about Remi's proposal.

Remi stuck out his tongue when he heard that, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I was careless. I really shouldn't have disturbed him at this time."

There was a flash of regret in his eyes, and he realized his slip of the tongue.

At the same time, Sect Master Lei flashed and arrived at the back mountain of Lei Xiao Sect.

The back mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist and full of spiritual energy, making it the best place for disciples in the sect to practice in seclusion.

Sect Master Lei's gaze pierced through the layers of clouds and mist and fell on the cave where Lei Tingyi was in seclusion.

He stared at the tightly closed cave door and spoke slowly.

"Yier, you can rest assured now. Ling Jiuan has returned to the Ling family safely. Moreover, all those people in the Ling family who were against her have been killed. She is safe now."

He was well aware of Lei Tingyi's concern for Ling Jiuan, so he came specially to tell him the good news.

After a long time, Lei Tingyi's voice was heard from the cave.

His voice sounded a little tired, but mostly relieved.

"Thank you, father and several brothers. I feel relieved to know that she is safe."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Lei nodded, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

Lei Tingyi has always been very concerned about Ling Jiuan's affairs. Now that he knows that she is safe and sound, he can finally retreat with peace of mind.

"You should practice well in seclusion and don't be distracted. It won't be too late to visit her after you come out of seclusion."

He hoped that Lei Tingyi could concentrate on his cultivation and not be distracted by external affairs.

Lei Tingyi responded from inside the cave, indicating that he understood.

Upon seeing this, Sect Leader Lei said no more and turned to leave the back mountain.

Sect Master Lei returned to the Leixiao Sect with steady steps and a calm expression.

As soon as he stepped into the sect's gate, the chief steward, Uncle Zhong, came to greet him with a smile on his face.

"Master, the new master of the Ling family, Ling Jiucheng, sent someone to deliver a big gift, saying that he was grateful to the Lei Xiao Sect for sending people to protect Miss Ling Wu."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Lei narrowed his eyes, with a hint of surprise in them.

He didn't expect that Ling Jiucheng would know about this. It seems that this new head of the family is not a simple person.

Uncle Zhong smiled when he saw this.

"Ling Jiucheng is also a man of outstanding talent, with a keen mind, so how could he not guess? He did this not only to express his gratitude to us, but also to establish a good relationship with our Lei Xiao Sect."

After listening to Uncle Zhong's words, Sect Leader Lei nodded in agreement.

He thought about it, then ordered.

"In this case, it would be a piece of cake to have someone accept the gift and pass it on to Ling Jiucheng. But tell him that the friendship between our Lei Xiao Sect and the Ling family is not just a small matter."

Uncle Zhong heard this and responded immediately.

"Yes, Master. I will convey your words to Ling Jiucheng's subordinates."

Sect Master Lei nodded with satisfaction, then walked towards the depths of the sect.

Ling Jiucheng sat in the study, listening to his subordinates' reports, and just nodded lightly, indicating that he already knew that Lei Xiaozong had accepted the gifts and conveyed their goodwill.

He waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to retreat, then pondered for a moment, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

"Notify everyone that cleaning up the demon cultivators is urgent."

He said in a deep voice, with unquestionable authority in his voice.

"All branches of the Ling family must be alert and make sure to catch all the evil cultivators hiding in the dark in the shortest possible time."

Ling Jiucheng knew very well that the existence of demon cultivators was a huge threat to the peace and tranquility of the entire continent.

They are secretive and cruel, often carrying out various destruction and killings in secret.

Therefore, clearing out the evil cultivators is the obligation of every responsible family and sect.

……

Inside Jiu'an Hall, sunlight shines through the window lattices onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows.

Chen Yan walked into the house with ease. As soon as he entered, he saw Ling Jiuan sitting at the table, holding a bowl of black medicine in his hand, drinking it with a frown.

He walked quickly to Ling Jiuan.

"Jiuan, aren't you going to take the pills? Who prescribed this medicine for you? Why does it smell so bad?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan smiled bitterly and put down the bowl of medicine in his hand.

"This is the healing medicine that Lei Xiaozong sent to me. Although it smells bad, it is very effective. I have some internal injuries and I need this to heal."

After hearing this, Chen Yan frowned slightly, obviously he was not unfamiliar with the name Xiao Zong.

He was silent for a moment, then asked.

"Jiuan, do you have any connection with the people of Lei Xiao Sect? Why did they give you healing medicine?"

Ling Jiuan knew Chen Yan’s worry and she shook her head slightly.

"It's nothing, actually. I just ran into some trouble in the medicine garden, and Lei Tingyi happened to pass by and helped me out. He gave me this body-building exercise and left some healing medicine for me."

As she spoke, she pointed to a booklet on the table, which was the body-building exercise that Lei Tingyi left for her.

Chen Yan picked up the booklet, flipped through a few pages carefully, and then nodded.

"This technique is indeed quite good. It seems that the people of Lei Xiao Sect treat you very well. However, Jiuan, you have to be careful. Lei Xiao Sect is not an ordinary sect. It is not so easy to repay their favors."

Ling Jiuan smiled softly when he heard this.

"Don't worry, Chen Yan, I know what I'm doing. I won't owe anyone a favor easily, and I won't let the people of Lei Xiao Sect embarrass me."

She didn't want to tell others too much about her and Lei Tingyi.
