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

After Ling Jiucheng succeeded as the head of the family, the affairs of the Ling family became increasingly busy.

When the new head of the family came to power, he took drastic measures to clean up many unclean things in the family, and the Ling family gradually restored its former order and prestige.

Ling Jiuan, on the other hand, devoted himself to cultivation in his own Jiuan Hall every day, without caring about worldly affairs.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and Ling Jiuan's cultivation had reached the peak of foundation building.

She knew very well that if she wanted to go further, temper her body and form an elixir, and break through the golden elixir stage, she had to go out and gain experience, and find various medicinal herbs and opportunities.

On this day, Ling Jiucheng took time out of his busy schedule to come to Ling Jiuan's yard.

"Jiuan, are you planning to leave the Ling family?"

There was a barely perceptible hint of worry in Ling Jiucheng's voice.

Ling Jiuan nodded with a firm look in his eyes.

"Yeah, brother, how did you know?"

Ling Jiucheng sighed, his eyes full of pity.

"I see that with your cultivation level at this point, if there is no opportunity, you will have to stay at the foundation-building stage for the rest of your life. So, I know you must be planning to go out and gain experience."

Ling Jiuan smiled, his eyes sparkling with longing for the future. "Yes, I want to go out and gain experience, see the outside world, and look for opportunities for breakthroughs."

She also wanted to see what the world looked like.

Ling Jiucheng nodded to show his understanding.

"Sure, but can you wait until your sister gets married before going?"

Ling Jiuan was stunned, obviously not expecting his brother to make such a request. "Has Ling Jiurong's wedding date been set?"

Just then, a helpless female voice came from the door.

"It's settled. One month later."

Ling Jiurong, wearing a pink dress with swaying hem, walked in slowly.

There was a faint smile on her face, but her eyes revealed a subtle complex emotion.

Ling Jiuan looked at her with an indifferent expression, but there was a barely perceptible concern in his tone.

"Are you sure? Do you want to marry into the City Lord's Mansion?"

Ling Jiurong smiled, with a hint of bitterness in her smile.

"Yes, I want to marry into the City Lord's Mansion. Are you worried about me?"

Ling Jiuan curled his lips and said stubbornly.

"No. I just think you should have your own choice."

Ling Jiurong shook her head gently, with a determined light in her eyes.

"I have made my choice. This is for the Ling family and for myself."

Ling Jiuan looked at his sister with mixed feelings.

She knew that everyone had their own path to take and she couldn't make decisions for her sister.

During these three months, Ling Jiurong did a lot of things.

She also knew a lot of things, and she no longer had the same aversion to Ling Jiurong as before.

So she nodded gently.

"Okay, I'll wait until you get married before I leave."

Ling Jiurong glanced at Ling Jiucheng, a hint of complicated emotions flashing in her eyes.

"Brother, go out first. I have something to say to Jiuan."

Ling Jiucheng also knew that the relationship between Ling Jiuan and Ling Jiurong had always been a little delicate, and there always needed to be a chance to break the ice.

He nodded, his tone gentle.

"Okay, you guys chat, I still have things to deal with."

After saying that, Ling Jiucheng turned around and left the room, leaving the two sisters Ling Jiuan and Ling Jiurong alone.

Ling Jiuan looked at his sister with mixed feelings.

She knew that there had always been some estrangement between her and her sister, but at this moment, seeing the determination and expectation in her sister's eyes, she couldn't help but soften her heart.

"Jiuan, I know there has always been some unpleasantness between us."

Ling Jiurong spoke first, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

"But I hope you can understand my choice. Marrying into the City Lord's Mansion is an opportunity and a dream for me. I have known Xing Tianye for ten years. He knew that I was in poor health, so he stayed with me silently for ten years. I want to marry him."

Ling Jiuan was stunned. She didn't expect her sister to talk to her so frankly.

She looked at the sincerity and expectation in her sister's eyes, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

"Well, I..."

Ling Jiuan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

She knew that she had always been somewhat prejudiced against her sister, but at this moment, seeing her sister express herself so frankly, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"Jiuan, we are a family."

Ling Jiurong gently held her sister's hand, her eyes full of warmth.

"I know you can't forgive me, after all, I did bad things in the past, but I still hope you can bless me."

Ling Jiuan gently withdrew his hand, his tone calm but with a hint of imperceptible concern.

"This is your choice. I'm just afraid that you'll choose the wrong path. But he's been with you for ten years, so I think he's sincere."

Ling Jiurong looked at her empty hands and felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.

She understood that although her sister's words were plain, her concern was real.

She pulled herself together again and looked at Ling Jiuan seriously.

"Jiuan, I still want to say sorry to you. In the past ten years, I have always misunderstood you and ignored you. Then you came back, I..."

Ling Jiuan interrupted her, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

"You are less than three years older than me. I actually understand you. But some things are destined to be irreversible."

When Ling Jiurong heard this, a trace of pain and regret flashed in her eyes.

She knew that her past neglect and misunderstanding of her sister had caused an irreparable rift.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her emotions.

"Jiuan, I know I have done a lot of wrong things in the past. But I hope you can give me a chance to make up for my past mistakes. I will try my best to be a good sister, someone you can rely on."

Ling Jiuan looked at the sincerity and regret in his sister's eyes, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

She knew that although Ling Jiurong's words were simple, the determination and sincerity in them were real.

She nodded slightly in acceptance.

"Okay, I'll give you this chance. But remember, some things, once missed, can never be turned back."

Ling Jiurong looked at her gratefully, tears glistening in her eyes.

She went forward and hugged her sister tightly.

"Thank you, Jiuan. I will cherish this opportunity and try my best to be a good sister."

She knew very well that Ling Jiuan might not have forgiven her.

But she is not afraid. There is still a long time to come, and she will make it up to her.

Ling Jiuan hesitated for a moment, but still hugged Ling Jiurong back.

Ling Jiucheng, who was outside the door, felt relieved when he heard the two people in the room reconciling.

He knew very well that the relationship between the two sisters had always been a little delicate, and it was a good thing for him that they could reconcile now.

He smiled gently, his heart filled with relief.

Mother, you can rest assured.

All the things you were worried about have now been resolved.

Walking out of Jiu'an Hall, Jiucheng's steps seemed particularly relaxed.

He looked up at the sky and saw the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle. Everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful.
