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

friend?

When did they become friends?

Shouldn't they be enemies?

When Ling Jiuxi heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.

She didn't expect that Chen Yan would stand so firmly on Ling Jiuan's side.

There was a cold light in her eyes.

"Young Master Chen, you are joking. If you don't believe this, you can go back and ask your father after you leave the secret realm."

Chen Yan looked at Ling Jiuxi expressionlessly.

"Once the trial is over, I will naturally ask for clarification."

Chen Yan spoke slowly, his voice was calm but with a hint of coldness.

"But, Miss Ling San, aren't your intentions too obvious?"

He shook his head slightly, as if feeling sorry for Ling Jiuxi's behavior.

"We are of the same roots, why are we so anxious to hurt each other? No matter what Ling Jiuan is like, she is still your half-sister. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by others for ostracizing her like this?"

Ling Jiuxi's face turned extremely ugly.

This Chen Yan really doesn't know what's good for him!

However, before she could open her mouth to explain, Ling Jiuze hurriedly took over the conversation.

"Young Master Chen is joking."

Ling Jiuze put on a hypocritical smile, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"It's just a quarrel between sisters. It's not to the extent of ostracizing each other."

Chen Yan glanced at Ling Jiuze and sneered in his heart.

He was too lazy to continue entangled with these hypocritical people, so he glanced coldly at the Chen family disciples standing beside him.

"What? You're not going to leave yet?"

There was a hint of displeasure in his voice.

"Are you planning to follow the Ling family?"

Upon hearing this, the Chen family disciples immediately realized Chen Yan’s dissatisfaction.

They looked at each other, knowing clearly that no matter what, Chen Yan was still the young master of the Chen family, and there would be no good consequences if they disobeyed him.

As a result, everyone responded and expressed their willingness to follow Chen Yan and leave.

"Young Master, calm down. We are leaving now."

One of the disciples said respectfully.

Chen Yan nodded and said nothing more.

He turned and left, followed closely by the Chen family disciples. Their figures gradually disappeared at the entrance of the secret realm, leaving the Ling family brothers and sisters staring at each other in bewilderment.

Ling Jiuxi looked at Chen Yan's departing back, a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes.

She knew that her plan to use the Chen family to exclude Ling Jiuan had completely failed.

It's just nothing!

The days of trial are still long!

There was a glimmer of cunning in Ling Jiuxi's eyes. She glanced at Ling Jiuze who was deep in thought beside her and suggested softly.

"Brother, since they have all left, let's go too."

She didn't believe it!

My appearance and talent are far superior to Ling Jiuan, but I still can't defeat Chen Yan!

When Ling Jiuze heard this, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.

He instantly understood Ling Jiuxi's intention, so he looked at everyone with a gentle smile on his face.

"This is Jiuan's first time entering the secret realm, and she is not familiar with the environment here. As her elder brother, I am really worried about her. Please forgive me, we will follow her today and protect her."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in praise and started talking about it.

"Your Second Young Master is truly a kind and righteous man!"

"If it were me, I wouldn't bother to care! After all, people without spiritual roots are just a burden in the secret realm."

"That's right, the Second Young Master is not only very powerful, but also so loyal and righteous. I really admire him."

……

Ling Jiuze felt secretly proud when he heard these compliments.

Ling Jiuan, this bitch, is not completely useless!

He curled his lips and showed a humble smile on his face, as if all this was what he should do.

Afterwards, he waved his hand to signal everyone to follow, and the group chased in the direction where Ling Jiuan left.

On the other side, Chen Yan quickly caught up with Ling Jiuan and walked side by side with her.

He glanced at the expressionless girl beside him and started to talk in a rambling manner.

"Let me tell you, this secret realm is actually not as dangerous as they say."

He paused and continued to explain.

"It's just an ordinary training. Those fierce spirit beasts are basically sealed in the barrier. As long as you don't wander in, you won't encounter them."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan glanced at Chen Yan indifferently without saying anything.

Chen Yan walked beside Ling Jiuan, looking at her cold profile, and couldn't help feeling helpless.

"Don't be so cold, at least talk to me!"

I don’t know what’s going on with Ling Jiuan?

Wasn't she quite lively when she was outside the secret realm and with that man?

How come I became a different person after entering the secret realm?

Ling Jiuan frowned slightly and looked at Chen Yan with some confusion.

In her opinion, Chen Yan has his own family and team, so there is really no need for him to form a group with an ordinary person like her who has no spiritual roots and no spiritual power.

"You have your own family, there's really no need for you to team up with me."

Ling Jiuan said lightly.

"I can't give you anything, and you won't get any benefit from being with me."

However, Chen Yan looked disapproving.

"What's wrong with that? I'm protecting the weak! Isn't it for the purpose of protecting the weak that a cultivator strives to become stronger?"

Ling Jiuan was stunned. She didn't expect to hear such words from Chen Yan in this world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak.

She smiled softly.

"You can't even beat me, how can you protect me?"

If this Chen Yan is really as he said, he actually shares the same ideals with her.

However, the trial only lasts for a month, and she doesn't want to waste time on these things.

The smile on Chen Yan's face froze slightly, but soon returned to normal.

He scratched his head in embarrassment.

"You... Oh, that was just my carelessness! Let's compete again when we have the chance. I will make sure you lose sincerely."

Chen Yan thought that if he had another chance, he could still defeat Ling Jiuan easily.

Therefore, protecting Ling Jiu'an means protecting the weak!
