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

The day after Yu Lingxi left, at dawn, Zheng Ze was already pacing in the house, his expression unable to hide his anxiety and unwillingness.

From time to time, he looked at Zheng Yan who was sitting by the window embroidering, and the throbbing and reluctance in his heart surged like a tide.

"Yanyan..."

Zheng Ze finally couldn't help but speak, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

"I want to go to the Lei Xiao Sect and witness their marriage with my own eyes. Perhaps only then can I truly give up."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yan frowned slightly, and the sewing in her hands unconsciously stopped. She turned to look at Zheng Ze, her eyes full of helplessness and pity.

"Brother, why are you doing this? You know it's a relationship that will end in vain, so why put yourself in such a painful situation?"

Zheng Ze sighed softly and looked out the window with empty eyes, as if he could penetrate the clouds and see the Lei Xiao Sect in the distance.

"I just won't give up. I always feel that I can only let it go completely after I witness it with my own eyes."

Zheng Yan felt mixed emotions when she saw this.

She knew that if this matter was not resolved, it would become a permanent knot in her brother's heart.

So she opened her red lips and proposed a compromise.

"Brother, don't worry, wait a few more days. Then, I will accompany you to ask our parents for permission. With me here, they may be more likely to agree. After that, I will go with you, okay?"

Hearing this, Zheng Ze's eyes flashed with gratitude. He nodded, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Then I'll listen to you and wait a few more days."

After saying that, he slowly sat down, clenched his hands into fists, as if trying to calm the waves in his heart.

Seeing this, Zheng Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she reached out and gently patted Zheng Ze's shoulder.

"My brother is good in every way, but unfortunately, he is stubborn and infatuated, which makes people feel distressed. Sometimes he is really stubborn to the end."

Inside the house, the silhouettes of the brother and sister stretched out in the morning light, and the air was filled with a faint sadness and warmth, as if foreshadowing the upcoming journey, which was both a farewell and a rebirth of the soul.

Yu Lingxi was completely unaware of Zheng Ze's thoughts. She had successfully reunited with Chen Yan and Pei Ling, and the three of them gathered beside a scenic forest path.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows, adding a touch of warmth to their reunion.

When Chen Yan and Pei Ling saw Yu Lingxi, bright smiles immediately appeared on their faces, and those smiles contained so many emotions.

Joy, relief, and a barely perceptible sense of relief.

They came forward and greeted warmly.

"Miss Yu, you are finally here! We have been waiting for you."

Yu Lingxi looked at her two close friends in front of her, a warm feeling welling up in her heart, and she responded with a smile.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's set off now."

The three of them immediately got ready to go. Chen Yan was responsible for carrying the luggage, Pei Ling carefully checked the route, and Yu Lingxi walked in the middle, feeling the care and companionship from both sides.

Along the way, they talked and laughed, sharing their experiences and insights during this period.

Yu Lingxi also talked about everything that happened between her and Zheng Ze. Although she had let go of that relationship, she still felt a little emotional when she mentioned it.

As the journey progressed, the shadow of Lei Xiaozong gradually appeared in the distance, and Yu Lingxi's mood became more and more complicated.

She knew that this trip to Lei Xiao Sect was not only to witness a grand wedding, but also to give herself a brand new beginning, an opportunity to completely let go of the past and embrace the future.

As the outline of Lei Xiao Sect became clearer in sight, Yu Lingxi's mood became heavier.

She stopped and looked at Chen Yan and Pei Ling earnestly, with a hint of pleading in her tone that was hard to conceal.

"You two, I know this request may be a bit excessive, but if...if Tingyi really has feelings for your friend, can you...can you persuade her to return Tingyi to me?"

Yu Lingxi's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were sparkling with crystal tears, revealing her inner struggle and reluctance.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan and Pei Ling looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

They know very well that matters of the heart are extremely complicated and cannot be forced, especially when it comes to the happiness of their best friends.

Pei Ling sighed softly, walked forward, gently held Yu Lingxi's hand, and comforted her gently.

"Miss Yu, love is something we can never control. If Tingyi already has someone else in his heart, even if we force him to stop, it will be in vain. You should give yourself a chance to find the happiness that truly belongs to you."

Chen Yan also nodded.

"Yes, Miss Yu, you deserve someone who loves you wholeheartedly. If Tingyi really chooses someone else, it means he is not your ideal person. Believe us, time will heal everything, and you will meet someone better."

Yu Lingxi listened to their consolation. Although she felt bitter in her heart, she also understood that there was some truth in what they said.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions, then nodded slowly.

"Thank you, I know what to do now."

Yu Lingxi's voice was still a little choked.

The three of them continued on their way, although they were in different moods.

When they were still three or four days away from Lei Xiao Sect, the three of them crossed a dense forest and arrived at a small town.

The town was bustling with people coming and going, and a group of disciples dressed in Lei Xiao Sect uniforms were particularly eye-catching.

They gathered in groups of three or five, and their conversations revealed a bit of mystery and excitement.

Yu Lingxi, Chen Yan and Pei Ling approached them inadvertently, and heard one of the disciples speak in a low voice.

"Have you heard? Senior Brother Lei Tingyi brought back Ling Jiuan this time, and it is said that he wants her to be our young lady!"

Upon hearing this, another disciple widened his eyes and said in surprise.

"Really? What about Miss Yu Lingxi? Hasn't she always had a good relationship with Senior Brother Lei Tingyi?"

"Oh, who knows? Who can say for sure about matters of the heart? Maybe Senior Brother Lei Tingyi has already changed his mind."

Another disciple interjected, with a hint of regret in his tone.

When Yu Lingxi heard these words, he felt as if his heart was pierced by needles and the pain was unbearable.

She held back her tears and did not let her emotions get out of control.

Chen Yan and Pei Ling exchanged worried glances. They knew that these words were undoubtedly a heavy blow to Yu Lingxi.

However, just as Yu Lingxi was about to turn around and leave, unwilling to listen any longer, a clear voice suddenly rang out.

"Stop talking nonsense! Senior Brother Lei Tingyi and Miss Yu Lingxi have such a good relationship and are even engaged, how could they change their minds so easily? Besides, Miss Ling Jiuan is just our guest, stop making assumptions!"
