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

"I know very well that marriage should be based on mutual affection, not imposed by outside forces. Lingxi and I, although from the same sect, have no romantic feelings for each other, let alone any intention of getting married. Therefore, I implore Brother Lingyuan to understand my position and cancel this engagement, so that we can each find our own happiness."

"I believe that with Brother Lingyuan's open-mindedness and wisdom, he will understand my difficulties. Please rest assured, Brother Lingyuan, although I, Lei Tingyi, cannot be your sister's good man, I will protect her and the Yu family's peace like a real brother."

After writing this letter, Lei Tingyi breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.

He sealed the letter and prepared to send someone to deliver it to the Yu family the next day.

He knew that once this letter was sent, it would mean that the engagement between him and Yu Lingxi would become a thing of the past.

But this is good for both him and Yu Lingxi.

Holding the secret letter tightly in his hand and after confirming that it was correct, Lei Tingyi turned around resolutely and strode towards the room where Ling Jiuan was.

When he pushed open the door of the wing room and walked in gently, he saw Ling Jiuan had just woken up from a deep sleep, with a little haziness in his eyes.

When the two maids Liuzhu and Liuying saw Lei Tingyi coming, they immediately bowed respectfully and called out in unison.

"Young Master Lei."

Then, the two looked at each other, retreated tacitly, and closed the door gently.

Lei Tingyi slowly walked to the bedside, sat down gently, and his eyes fell tenderly on Ling Jiuan's slightly pale face.

He asked softly, his eyes full of heartache and concern.

"How do you feel? Can you handle it?"

Ling Jiuan smiled slightly, his voice was weak but firm.

"It's okay. Is this the Lei Xiao Sect?"

She looked around, trying to take in her surroundings.

Lei Tingyi nodded, with a hint of helplessness and relief in his tone.

"Your condition was not good at the time. The only thing I could think of was to bring you back to Lei Xiao Sect. At least it's safe here."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan smiled helplessly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

"It's already good. That person was planning to destroy me. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and was only injured."

She gently stroked her wound, as if to comfort herself and Lei Tingyi.

Lei Tingyi felt even more distressed when he saw this.

He took out a warm jade token from his bosom, gently placed it in Ling Jiuan's hand, and spoke softly.

"You need to rest for the time being because of your injury. We will stay in Lei Xiao Sect for the time being. When your injury is healed, we will go to find Man Wu. With this jade token, you can freely enter and exit all places in Lei Xiao Sect except the Sect Master's Courtyard and the Elders' Courtyard. Don't worry about anyone disturbing you."

Ling Jiuan took the jade token, felt the warmth from it, and a warm current surged in his heart.

She looked up at Lei Tingyi.

"Thank you, Lei Tingyi. You always show up when I need you most."

Lei Tingyi smiled slightly and patted the back of her hand gently.

"We are friends, aren't we? Friends should help each other."

Lei Tingyi carefully took out two bottles of pills from his seemingly inconspicuous storage bag.

One bottle contains a crystal clear healing elixir with a faint medicinal fragrance, while the other bottle contains a purifying elixir with a deep color and a faint purifying power.

He gently placed the two bottles of precious pills on the low table beside the bed and looked at Ling Jiuan with gentle eyes.

"You should take one of each of these two pills every day."

"The healing pill can help you speed up the healing of your wounds, while the evil-purifying pill can remove the remaining evil energy in your body."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, her eyebrows slightly frowned and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Is that person a demon cultivator?"

There was a hint of disbelief in her tone, and she was obviously surprised by the identity of the opponent she encountered this time.

Lei Tingyi nodded heavily, his eyes revealing a bit of solemnity.

"The doctor said that there is evil spirit attached to your wound, which means that the opponent is not only a demon cultivator, but also has a cultivation level not lower than the early stage of the Spirit Severing Realm. Such an opponent is definitely not an ordinary person."

After hearing this, Ling Jiuan was silent for a moment, then he sighed softly.

She knew that she was able to survive this time thanks to Lei Tingyi's timely help.

"Lei Tingyi, thank you. I will take good care of my injuries and recover as soon as possible. When I am better, we will go find Manwu together and uncover the conspiracy behind this."

Seeing how strong she was, Lei Tingyi couldn't help but feel admiration for her.

He gently held Ling Jiuan's hand and gave her the most sincere encouragement.

"Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine. You just need to rest and recover, I will take care of the rest."

Lei Tingyi stayed in Ling Jiuan's room for a while, and after making sure that she had taken the pills and rested well, he decided to go to the back mountain.

He was always concerned about Ling Jiuan's injuries and hoped to find more resources to help her recover.

The back mountain is a quiet and mysterious place in Lei Xiao Sect.

Not only is there abundant spiritual energy here, but there are also many precious herbs and spiritual objects hidden here.

When Lei Tingyi was in seclusion to purify the evil spirit, he had left behind some magical instruments and special medicinal herbs that he had carefully crafted.

These things may be able to help Ling Jiuan recover.

He walked through the lush forest path and came to the cave where he was in seclusion.

The cave remained the same as when he left, and everything was in order.

Lei Tingyi walked deep into the cave and took out an exquisite wooden box from a hidden corner.

Inside the wooden box, there were a few spirit stones that sparkled with a warm light and a few bottles of special medicines that he had personally made.

These spiritual stones contained pure spiritual energy, which could help practitioners recover their physical and spiritual strength faster; and those potions were made by him based on the unique herbs in the back mountain, which had miraculous effects in expelling evil spirits and nourishing the body.

Lei Tingyi carefully put away the wooden box and prepared to take it back to Ling Jiuan.

He knew that although these things were precious, they were insignificant compared to Ling Jiuan's safety and health.

When he returned to Ling Jiuan's room again, it was almost dusk.

Liu Zhu and Liu Ying were busy preparing dinner for Ling Jiuan. When they saw Lei Tingyi returning, they immediately bowed and greeted him.

Lei Tingyi nodded, signaling them to continue their work, and he walked lightly to the bedside and gently placed the wooden box in his hand in front of Ling Jiuan.

"These are some things I left behind when I was in seclusion in the back mountains. They should help you recover."

Lei Tingyi's voice was gentle and caring. He gently opened the wooden box and showed Ling Jiuan the spirit stones and potions inside.

When Ling Jiuan saw this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

She knew that these things were also extremely precious to Lei Tingyi, but he took them out to help her without hesitation.

"Lei Tingyi, you are so kind. I...I really don't know how to thank you."

Lei Tingyi smiled slightly and shook his head gently.

"You're welcome. We are friends and it's only natural for us to help each other. You just need to rest and recuperate as soon as possible. That will be the best way to express your gratitude."
