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

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Ling Jiuan went straight back to the guest room with brisk steps.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Chen Yan followed him in like a shadow, with an inquiring smile on his face.

"Ling Jiuan, do you think Lei Tingyi has some hidden reason for doing that?"

There was a hint of curiosity and confusion in Chen Yan's voice.

Ling Jiuan raised his eyes slightly, a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

"You don't believe him?"

Her tone was calm, yet with a barely perceptible firmness.

Chen Yan's face froze slightly, then he pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a slightly forced smile.

"Ling Jiuan, how long have you known him? Do you trust him so much?"

There was a barely perceptible bitterness in his tone.

Ling Jiuan looked at him quietly, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Chen Yan, I don't like to rank people. But for me, Lei Tingyi has saved me many times, and he taught me how to practice, and I am where I am today. What he wants is a clear and bright world, not a dirty and gloomy one. So, instead of believing that he is in league with evil demons, I would rather believe that there is another hidden story."

Her voice was soft yet firm, and every word seemed to contain a tremendous amount of power.

Chen Yan smiled bitterly, with a hint of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

"He is unique in your mind."

There was a hint of helplessness and self-mockery in his tone.

Ling Jiuan spread his hands with a relaxed smile on his face.

"He is both a teacher and a friend to me. I know him better than anyone else."

As she spoke, she walked to the window, looked at the moonlight outside, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

No matter how others view Lei Tingyi, she will stand firmly on his side, because in her heart, he will always be the one who is trustworthy.

Chen Yan sighed, frowned, and his tone was filled with worry.

"Isn't he corrupted by evil spirits? What if...what if he really is colluding with evil spirits? What will you do?"

Ling Jiuan turned around, looked at Chen Yan with a firm gaze, and spoke thoughtfully.

"Chen Yan, are you questioning the Lei Xiao Sect? The largest sect in the entire continent? Do you think they would easily allow someone who is corrupted by evil spirits to take on an important position?"

Chen Yan spread his hands, a helpless smile on his face.

"Which sect doesn't have dirty things? Even the most powerful sects are bound to have internal disputes and dark sides. I'm just worried that you trust him too much. What if..."

Ling Jiuan shook his head slightly and interrupted Chen Yan.

"I understand your concerns, but I also believe in my judgment. Lei Tingyi is not that kind of person. He must have his own difficulties and hidden secrets. Moreover, the Lei Xiao Sect will not let a true traitor go easily. They will find out the truth."

As she spoke, she walked to the table, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and her eyes flashed with determination.

"I believe in him, and I believe in the Lei Xiao Sect. We just need to wait patiently, and the truth will eventually come out."

Seeing that Ling Jiuan believed in Lei Tingyi so much, Chen Yan sighed again, knowing that it was useless to say more, so he shook his head.

"You have a good rest, I will go back to the house."

After saying that, he turned and left the guest room.

After Chen Yan left, Liu Zhu and Liu Ying walked into the room with helpless looks on their faces.

"Master, I always feel that Chang Qing is not right."

Liu Zhu said in a low voice.

Ling Jiuan nodded, frowning slightly.

"If it was before, I would think it was our illusion. But when he saw the Demon Phoenix, his eyes were full of paranoia and madness. This kind of feeling is not something that ordinary people can have."

"I also think that Lei Tingyi must know something, which is why he protected the Demon Phoenix."

Liuying added on the side.

"He is usually so calm, but he was so impulsive this time. There must be a reason."

Ling Jiuan pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"No matter what, we have to believe Lei Tingyi. Since he did this, he must have his reasons."

Just then, a familiar voice sounded at the door, with a hint of teasing and warmth.

"You can trust me so much, it's worth knowing you."

Ling Jiuan subconsciously looked up and saw Lei Tingyi, dressed in black, walking in slowly with his signature lazy smile on his face.

She frowned, her tone tinged with worry.

"Why are you here? Aren't you afraid of the people from the City Lord's Mansion..."

Lei Tingyi smiled, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes.

"They dare not do anything to me. Don't forget, I am a disciple of the Lei Xiao Sect, and I have a friend like you in the City Lord's Mansion."

As he spoke, he walked over to Ling Jiuan, casually pulled over a chair and sat down.

Ling Jiuan looked at him with a helpless smile on his face.

"You are always so confident. But I believe you. You must have your reasons."

Lei Tingyi smiled when he heard this.

"Thank you, Jiuan, for believing in me."

As he said that, he stood up and patted Ling Jiuan on the shoulder.

"You have a good rest, I won't let you down."

After saying that, he turned and left the guest room.

Ling Jiuan looked at his back, feeling an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Just as Chen Yan returned to his room, there was a knock on the door.

He turned and spoke, his tone somewhat displeased.

"Who?"

The door was pushed open, and Lei Tingyi stood there, dressed in black with a calm expression.

Chen Yan's face darkened, and his tone was a little cold.

"Master Lei, why are you here? Don't you know that this is the City Lord's Mansion?"

Lei Tingyi glanced at him indifferently, his tone calm but with some deep meaning.

"Young Master Chen hates evil, I understand that. But sometimes things are not as simple as they seem. If you help the wrong person, you will be aiding and abetting the evil."

Chen Yan's face turned pale. He certainly understood what Lei Tingyi meant. He was hinting that he might be on the wrong side.

He sneered, his tone somewhat provocative.

"I will return this to you. Master Lei, don't think that you can interfere in other people's affairs just because you have a high position in the Lei Xiao Sect. Sometimes, what you see with your eyes is not necessarily the truth."

Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi curled up a faint smile. He did not continue to argue with Chen Yan, but turned and left, leaving behind a meaningful word.

“The truth is always hidden in the deepest darkness. Only when you look carefully can you find it.”

At night, Ling Jiuan was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard footsteps at the door.

She suddenly opened her eyes, got out of bed, and looked towards the door vigilantly.

Who would it be at this time?

I saw Lei Tingyi standing at the door, dressed in black with a calm expression.

"How did you come?"

Ling Jiuan asked in a low voice, feeling a little nervous.
