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

"Think of a way."

Madam Lan spoke softly, with an unquestionable authority in her voice.

"Let Ling Jiuan know that the person who drugged her was her biological sister Ling Jiurong."

After hearing this, the old woman bowed slightly and responded calmly.

"Yes, ma'am."

Madam Lan looked towards the door again and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

That bitch's daughter is as disgusting as her mother!

But that bitch is dead.

What kind of trouble could her daughter stir up?

Thinking of this, a scornful smile appeared on Mrs. Lan's lips.

At the same time, Ling Jiurong was still immersed in Mrs. Lan's tenderness and thoughtfulness.

She never imagined that the kind, gentle and considerate Mrs. Lan in her mind was actually planning carefully behind the scenes and pushing her into the abyss step by step!

Madam Lan picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a calculating gleam in her eyes.

……

After a few days of peace and tranquility, the competition finally came to an end.

On this day, Ling Jiuan was brought to the lobby of the Ling family.

She walked into the lobby, her eyes calmly scanning everyone present.

Ling Changfeng and Madam Lan sat in the main seats.

Sitting below in order were Ling Jiuze, Ling Jiuxi, Ling Jiurong and other disciples from other branches, all of whom focused their eyes on Ling Jiuan, with some curiosity, some scrutiny, and some hostility.

Ling Jiuan looked at Ling Changfeng with an indifferent expression: "Father asked me to come here, does he have any instructions?"

Seeing that Ling Jiuan did not salute and his attitude was not very respectful, Ling Changfeng's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Is this how you treat your father?"

There was obvious dissatisfaction in his tone.

Ling Jiuan's expression remained unchanged and he responded calmly.

"Isn't that what I always do?"

There was a hint of provocation in her words, and she seemed not to care about Ling Changfeng's attitude.

Respect your father?

Ling Changfeng is not worthy of it!

Ling Jiuxi, who was sitting nearby, saw this and immediately spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Father, my fifth sister is acting like this, I'm afraid she is holding a grudge against you in her heart!"

Her words were full of sarcasm and provocation, and she was obviously trying to escalate the tension between the father and daughter.

Seeing that Ling Changfeng's face became even uglier, Mrs. Lan quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid!"

She glared at Ling Jiuxi and turned away pretending to be angry.

Then, she looked at Ling Changfeng again and spoke with a smile.

"Don't think too much, Patriarch. Jiuan has been away from home for many years, so it's normal for him to feel unfamiliar with the family for a while."

Her words were full of understanding and thoughtfulness.

However, Ling Changfeng's expression was still ugly.

He snorted coldly.

"Even if you've been away from home for many years, you can't ignore moral principles!"

Ling Jiuan stood in the lobby, watching their acting coldly, and he was already impatient.

She was tired of this hypocritical family dispute and just wanted to get out of this vortex as soon as possible.

Maybe the original owner had the mind to deal with this kind of thing.

But she's not interested!

"Father, do you need anything else? If not, I'll leave first. I'm dull and have no spiritual roots. I really don't have time to waste on such meaningless things."

When Ling Jiurong heard this, she immediately frowned.

"What's your attitude? My father is still alive, and I, your eldest sister, am still alive, and yet you have this attitude?"

There was a hint of annoyance in her voice, and she was obviously dissatisfied with Ling Jiuan's attitude.

It’s fine if Ling Jiuan is born unlucky.

Now that his parents are still alive, he is still like this!

Ling Jiuan just smiled coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

"So they are all here. Then why has no one cared about my life or death over the years?"

Her words were full of sarcasm and questions.

Ling Jiurong was speechless for a moment. She stared at Ling Jiuan with wide eyes, but didn't know how to respond.

Talking about your mother's death?

But if I tell it to others, I'm afraid my father will be furious.

By then, it will not be of any benefit to me.

Seeing that Ling Jiurong didn't get any advantage, Mrs. Lan quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business. Why are you two sisters still arguing?"

Ling Changfeng glanced around the lobby and finally fixed his eyes on Ling Jiuan.

His expression was serious, and his voice left no room for doubt. "This time in the secret realm trial, our disciples will be led by Jiuze, Jiuxi, and you. There are five others, so remember to help each other when the time comes."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, his expression did not change much, he just responded lightly.

"understood."

Ling Jiuan stood in the lobby, his mind as clear as a mirror.

She knew very well that in this family, Madam Lan was controlling the situation behind the scenes. As Ling Jiuze and Ling Jiuxi were her biological children, they would naturally be able to obtain the best cultivation resources in the family.

This kind of preference is not usually visible.

She subconsciously glanced at Ling Jiurong beside her, only to see that her face was full of loss, with reluctance and helplessness flashing in her eyes.

Ling Jiuan had also heard rumors these days about Ling Jiurong and Madam Lan having a good relationship, but now it seems that this so-called "good relationship" is just a superficial phenomenon.

Ling Jiurong may not have realized that Mrs. Lan's kindness to her was just a show to maintain a charitable image in the family.

As for the things that really deserve to be given, such as high-quality training resources, status and power in the family, Madam Lan will not easily give anything.

Ling Jiurong knew that her qualifications were mediocre, but there was still a gap between them.

At this moment, Ling Changfeng took out three storage bags from his sleeves.

"Here are the things I prepared for you. They may be useful in the secret realm."
