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

It’s Sect Master Lei!

The clan leader's wife stopped in astonishment and stared at her husband in front of her.

"Kill her, and Yi'er and Lingxi will get married!"

Suddenly, he raised his hand violently, and with a fierce palm, he knocked the clan leader's wife to the ground unconscious.

This sudden change stunned everyone present.

Sect Leader Lei's body shook, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned even paler.

He turned his head weakly, his eyes fell on Ling Jiuan, his voice low and weak.

"Miss Ling, you...you should leave first. I'll stay here."

Ling Jiuan shook her head, her eyes firm and persistent.

"I can't leave. If I leave, you and the lady will be in real danger."

Her words made Sect Master Lei frown.

"What do you mean?"

Ling Jiuan sighed.

"The Sect Master knows that the Madam's mind is trapped now. It is natural that someone has done something wrong. And this person is likely to be beside us, waiting for an opportunity to act. If I leave, you will be isolated and helpless, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Upon hearing this, a complicated look flashed across Sect Leader Lei's eyes.

He looked at Ling Jiuan deeply, as if weighing her words.

After a moment, he nodded slowly, his voice weak but firm.

"Okay, then please help me, Miss Ling, to find out the truth."

Ling Jiuan's tone was serious.

"Master, you have extraordinary perseverance. You are able to stay awake even under the control of this poisonous insect and successfully break free from its restraints. This is truly admirable. But I guess you must have suffered a lot of damage in the process, right? You should rest up first. I will stay here for you and ensure the safety of your wife and you."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Lei showed a bitter smile on his face. He indeed felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"Indeed, I need some time to recover now. I'll leave the lady to you, please be careful."

After saying this, Sect Leader Lei slowly sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing to recover.

Ling Jiuan stood aside, looking around vigilantly to make sure no threats were approaching.

Time passed minute by minute, and the sect hall was so quiet that only the light breathing of Sect Master Lei and the occasional sound of wind from outside could be heard.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Sect Master Lei slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at Ling Jiuan, smiled slightly, and there was a hint of gratitude in his voice.

"Miss Ling, thank you for your protection. I have almost recovered now."

Ling Jiuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

At least she's not the only one.

Lei Tingyi is still looking for the sect leader’s wife, so she has to find a way to send a message to him.

Sect Leader Lei looked at Ling Jiuan, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

"Ms. Ling, is there any way to save Madam from this mental entrapment?"

Ling Jiuan shook her head, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"Wait a moment, Liu Zhu and Liu Ying are browsing ancient books in the library, looking for a way to rescue the lady. This kind of mind-controlling method used by this insect is extremely rare, and we need to find a corresponding solution to safely rescue the lady."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Lei frowned, but he also knew that he couldn't be impatient.

"So... can we just wait here? Is there anything I can do?"

Ling Jiuan thought about it and then said.

"Master, can you try to recall whether Madam has come into contact with any special people or things besides Miss Yu recently, or whether she has any abnormal behavior."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Lei immediately began to recall carefully.

After a moment, he spoke slowly.

"I remember that Madam did meet an old friend half a month ago, and that person sent her a pot of exotic flowers. Madam was very interested in the pot of flowers at that time, and she even placed it in her bedroom."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, his eyes lit up.

"That pot of flowers may be the key to the problem! Sect Master, can you take me to see that pot of flowers? Perhaps we can find some clues from it."

Sect Leader Lei nodded, stood up, and took Ling Jiuan to his wife's yard.

The pot of exotic flowers was placed quietly on the windowsill, its petals were delicate and gorgeous, exuding a faint fragrance.

Ling Jiuan walked closer to take a closer look and felt a chill on his back.

What a big chess game!

"There is something wrong with this flower. Its fragrance contains a subtle poison that can subtly affect people's minds."

As she spoke, she took out a pill from her bosom and handed it to Sect Master Lei.

"This is an antidote pill. After Madam takes it, it should help her regain some of her sanity."

Sect Leader Lei took the pill.

"Thank you!"

Afterwards, the two returned to Sect Master Lei's courtyard.

He nodded and carefully fed the pill to his wife.

The sect leader's wife had just taken a pill and looked a little tired. She would not wake up for a while.

Sect Leader Lei stood aside, shook his head helplessly, and finally spoke to break the silence.

"This matter has been going on for too long, and both you and Tingyi have suffered."

Sect Leader Lei's voice was low and apologetic.

This incident caused considerable harm to everyone.

He almost broke up the couple, Ling Jiuan and Lei Tingyi.

Ling Jiuan smiled slightly when he heard this.

"Sect Master Lei, you are too serious. After all, it is normal for Miss Yu to feel aggrieved. She really liked Tingyi, but she didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Sect Leader Lei sighed and nodded.

"Yes, it's a pity that this matter involves the interests of two families, and it's difficult to end it now."

Ling Jiuan stood in front of Sect Master Lei and shook his head gently.

"Sect Master Lei, you are wrong. The current situation is no longer simply a matter involving the interests of the two families, but a critical moment for the survival of the Lei Xiao Sect."

It is obvious that what the Yu family wants is the Lei Xiao Sect.

Upon hearing this, a trace of helplessness and bitterness flashed across Sect Leader Lei's face, and he sighed deeply.

"Yes, now the Yu family can easily control me and my wife. If we continue to be deceived like this, Yier..."

When he said this, his voice choked up, his eyes flickering with worry and reluctance for his son.

Now that I think about it, they were too careless.

Ling Jiuan looked at Sect Master Lei and couldn't help but smile.

"Master Lei, you might as well trust Lei Tingyi a little more. He is your son and the number one genius in the Kyushu Continent. He is actually not that vulnerable. I believe he is capable of handling this."

After all, Lei Tingyi is also her guide!

After listening to Ling Jiuan's words, Sect Leader Lei shook his head in a helpless manner, mocking himself for worrying too much.

"That's right. He is now more advanced than me and has become more mature. As a father, I am too worried about him."

What's more, if he and his wife hadn't been confused for a moment, none of this would have happened.

Thinking of this, Sect Master Lei suddenly felt that they were the ones who dragged down Lei Tingyi and the Lei Xiao Sect.
