So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!
Chapter 22 Being drugged
The moonlight was like water, quietly falling on her body, complementing the spiritual energy in her body, as if opening a whole new door for her.
As the surrounding spiritual energy continued to pour in, Jiuan gradually felt that his meridians seemed to be filled, and even a little swollen and painful.
This feeling made her feel both novel and nervous, and she didn't know whether she could withstand such a change.
At this moment, Lei Tingyi's figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
He looked down at Ling Jiuan, a hint of worry in his eyes.
He raised his hand and gently placed it on several key tendons of Ling Jiuan. As he moved, Ling Jiuan suddenly felt the uncomfortable feeling of his body disintegrating disappear without a trace.
She let out a long breath, slowly stood up and looked at Lei Tingyi.
"What happened to me just now?"
There was a slight tremor in her voice.
The feeling just now was completely different from the pain I usually feel during practice.
Lei Tingyi looked at her with a complicated expression.
He was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.
"You used too much force and nearly exploded and died."
Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan frowned deeply.
"How could this be?"
Lei Tingyi's face looked a little ugly.
He looked at Ling Jiuan deeply.
"Someone added something to your food."
The Ling family really doesn't want Ling Jiuan to be alive at all!
"Added something?"
Lei Tingyi nodded.
"The drug that blocks the tendons is just in a small dose. If you don't use too much force, it won't be noticeable in the short term."
Ling Jiuan looked unhappy.
"How long has it been?"
Lei Tingyi's tone was indifferent.
"Either the body explodes and dies, or the bloodline reverses and dies."
Ling Jiuan had a sad face.
People are iron rice and steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be very hungry.
But now, what does she eat?
She can't cook, and Lei Tingyi knows nothing about cooking. If she has no food to eat, she will go crazy.
For a physical cultivator, she does not have much spiritual energy reserves and relies entirely on her physical strength. Now she cannot bear the hunger at all.
Lei Tingyi looked at her pitiful appearance, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Show your hand. Since you have already shown your hand, there is no need to do anything else. Madam Lan will naturally not let you get into trouble in the Ling family in order to protect her good reputation."
Before Ling Jiuan could react, Lei Tingyi suddenly swung out a bolt of lightning, which instantly hit her hard.
This sudden attack made Ling Jiuan unable to react for a moment, and he screamed in pain.
"what!"
The noise was too loud, and the scream soon attracted Ling Changfeng and Madam Lan.
Ling Changfeng looked at Ling Jiuan, who was lying on the ground unable to move, with impatience in his eyes.
"Why are there always so many troubles since you came home? What happened?"
He really doesn't like this daughter.
Madam Lan looked at Ling Jiuan with a complicated expression, wondering in her heart, what was this little bitch doing?
Just then, Lei Tingyi walked out of the house slowly, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
"What's going on here?"
Ling Jiuan grimaced in pain, but he still glared at Lei Tingyi secretly and cursed him in his heart.
dog man!
What a cruel attack!
But she also understood that Lei Tingyi must have his reasons for doing this.
But the pain made her unable to think too much for the time being.
Lei Tingyi walked to Ling Jiuan, helped her up and leaned her against the wooden stake.
Then, he placed his hand on her pulse, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Ling Changfeng stood aside and really didn't want to care about his daughter's life or death.
But when he thought that the Ling family still had to rely on her to get things from the secret realm to reinforce the barrier in order to ensure the safety of the family, he had to suppress his disgust, forced a trace of concern on his face, and asked.
"Master Lei, what happened to Jiuan?"
Mrs. Lan narrowed her eyes, and had already guessed about 70% of the truth.
She looked at Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
Lei Tingyi spoke in a serious tone, with a hint of seriousness in his voice.
"Miss Fifth was given a drug that blocks her tendons. This drug is insidious and vicious, and can silently block the circulation of a practitioner's meridians. Just now, Miss Fifth's blood flowed backwards while she was practicing, and she suffered considerable damage."
When Ling Changfeng heard this, his face instantly turned extremely ugly.
"Something that blocks the tendons? What unclean thing did she eat outside?"
Ling Jiuan couldn't help cursing in his heart.
What a rubbish dad!
She answered coldly, still keeping calm.
"Father, you are joking. I am penniless and cannot afford to eat outside. My daily diet is nothing more than the meals prepared by the chef in the mansion."
Mrs. Lan's mind was as clear as a mirror. She knew clearly that the medicine was most likely given by Ling Jiurong.
She did not have much sympathy or worry for this daughter who was not her biological daughter.
However, she also understood that if this matter continued to escalate, it would inevitably have an adverse impact on her reputation and status.
So, she quickly said, "I was negligent in this matter. I failed to manage the servants properly. Jiuan returned to the mansion this time and performed well. It is inevitable that some servants in the mansion will feel dissatisfied."
Hearing this, Ling Changfeng snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with this matter.
"No matter how bad she is, she is still a master. These people are too unruly."
A hint of coldness flashed through Mrs. Lan's heart, but she showed no expression on her face and continued to respond with a smile.
"What the head of the family said is true. I will deal with this matter strictly and ensure that such incidents do not happen again."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ling Jiuan with a meaningful look...
Ah!
No matter what, I can't jump around for long!
The next morning.
The sunlight shone through the treetops into Ling Jiuan's yard, but failed to dispel the dullness in the air.
The cook in the yard had been replaced, and this change was like a stone thrown into a pond, causing ripples.
Mrs. Lan acted decisively. Not only did she quickly replace the cook, she also directly ordered the cook who was suspected of drugging to be beaten to death.
This action caused an uproar in the Ling family, and the rumors about Ling Jiuan became increasingly unpleasant.
Ling Jiuan stood in the yard and shook his head gently.
She had to admire Mrs. Lan's methods, but at the same time she felt sorry for the innocent cook.
A life became a victim of the power struggle.
Lei Tingyi looked at the food that had just been delivered and spoke lightly.
"No medicine, eat it!"
At the same time, in Mrs. Lan's yard.
Mrs. Lan looked at Ling Jiurong who was sitting next to her, with helplessness and pity in her eyes.
She chided softly.
"What are you doing, kid? No matter what, Jiuan is your biological sister. How could you drug her?"
Ling Jiurong subconsciously defended herself.
"Ma'am, it's not me."
But her eyes flickered.
Mrs. Lan looked at her, her tone full of pity.
"You are too naive, girl. I have been in charge of the household for so many years. If I can't find out this, I will be laughed at."
Ling Jiurong felt guilty and lowered her head.
"Madam, I..."
She really hated Ling Jiuan.
If she hadn't killed her mother, she would now be a glorious legitimate daughter.
How come I am still like now, in poor health and not valued by my father?
Mrs. Lan sighed and gently patted Ling Jiurong's hand.
"Fortunately, I have suppressed this matter now, and I have also dealt with the cook. Don't be stupid again in the future."
When Ling Jiurong heard this, her eyes turned slightly red.
"I understand, ma'am..."
After Ling Jiurong left, a cunning look flashed in Madam Lan's eyes. She slowly turned her head and glanced at her confidants around her.
