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

In the vast twilight, Yu Lingxi and Mr. Wei staggered and fled from Lei Xiao Sect in panic, leaving behind a brief period of tranquility.

Inside the sect, there was panic and everyone saw enemies as enemies. Only when the two men disappeared completely from their sight did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"Little Lord!"

An urgent call broke the silence, and Uncle Zhong and Zhong Ling led several inner disciples to come hurriedly, looking nervous. Their arrival was like a stream of clear water, instantly gathering around Lei Tingyi and bringing a sense of stability.

Lei Tingyi looked up upon hearing the voice, his eyes as sharp as torches as he scanned the crowd, his brows revealing unquestionable majesty.

"Uncle Zhong, Senior Sister, and fellow brothers, you came at the perfect time."

He said in a deep voice, with an irresistible force in his tone.

"Take them back to the medicine room first and check carefully whether each person has parasitic Gu worms. This matter concerns the safety of the sect and cannot be missed."

When Zhong Ling heard this, she frowned, but nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Yes, young master. I will personally supervise this matter and ensure that nothing is missed."

"besides……"

Lei Tingyi paused and swept his sharp eyes over everyone present.

"Throughout the Leixiao Sect, all disciples who have drunk the soup given by Yu Lingxi and Mr. Wei, taken their elixirs, or eaten spiritual food, regardless of their status, must go to the medicine room for inspection. If anyone is found to have concealed something and not reported it in the future, they will be expelled from the sect directly and will not be tolerated!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar all around, but then things calmed down again. Everyone knew the seriousness of the matter and no one dared to raise any objections.

"Senior Sister, you are in charge of this matter. Make sure it is foolproof."

Lei Tingyi turned to Zhong Ling, a glimmer of trust in his eyes.

"Understood, young master."

Zhong Ling responded firmly, and then led a group of disciples away in a hurry, with firm steps and resolute backs.

After everyone left, Lei Tingyi turned his gaze to Uncle Zhong and his two senior brothers Lei Shi and Lei Mi beside him, with a serious expression.

"Uncle Zhong, take Lei Shi and Remi with me to the back mountain. Ling Jiuan's whereabouts are mysterious, we must find her as soon as possible and find out the truth of the matter."

"Yes, my lord."

The three of them answered in unison, their eyes full of determination.

As the group of people moved and quickly headed towards the back mountain, the air was filled with a tense and resolute atmosphere.

The forest at the back of the mountain was deep and foggy. Even with Ling Jiuan's lingering breath as a guide, the search was still extremely difficult as she deliberately hid herself.

Every step must be taken carefully, for fear of missing any clues.

"Ling Jiuan, where are you hiding?"

Lei Tingyi pondered secretly in his heart, his brows furrowed, his eyes showing both anxiety and determination.

Liu Zhu's gaze was fixed on Ling Jiuan, her eyes full of worry and anxiety.

"Master, Liuying's condition is really very bad. I have used up all the elixirs and spiritual medicines I have, but her condition is still getting worse."

Her voice trembled slightly, revealing her inner helplessness.

"Although there is abundant spiritual energy in the back mountain, it should be of great benefit to her recovery, but..."

There was a hint of helplessness in Liu Zhu's words.

"Her condition is too critical. I alone cannot stabilize her vital signs. I need at least three doctors to work with me to save her life."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, his brows furrowed as if they could hold a silver needle.

She knew very well how important Liuying was to her, and she also understood the severity of the current situation.

"How long can we wait?"

She asked quietly, mentally pondering possible solutions.

"time is limited."

Liu Zhu responded anxiously.

"Yu Lingxi and Mr. Wei are leading people to hunt us down. If we go out to look for a doctor now, it will be like walking into a trap. However, Liuying...she really can't hold on for much longer."

Ling Jiuan was silent for a moment, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, as if looking for a possible way out.

She knew that Liuying's life or death depended on this one move, and she had to make the most correct decision.

"so……"

She finally spoke, her voice firm and determined.

"Liu Zhu, you stay here and continue to take care of Liu Ying. Try to stabilize her condition. I'll go out for a while and try to find a doctor to help."

"But, Master..."

Liu Zhu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Ling Jiuan.

"No buts, this is the only way. Liuying must not be in any danger, and we can't just sit there and wait for death."

After Ling Jiuan finished speaking, he disappeared into the dense forest in a flash, leaving behind only a resolute back and Liu Zhu's worried eyes.

As Ling Jiuan stepped out of the cave, he unexpectedly met someone head-on. That person was Lei Tingyi.

His face was filled with joy, as if he had met a long-lost relative, and he walked towards her quickly.

"Jiuan!"

Lei Tingyi's voice was full of excitement, but to Ling Jiuan, this familiar call sounded like a long-lasting alarm bell.

Her expression suddenly changed, and a hint of vigilance and alertness flashed in her eyes.

"Stop, don't come over here!"

She shouted sharply, her voice revealing unquestionable authority.

Lei Tingyi was stunned. He didn't expect Ling Jiuan to have such a strong reaction.

He stopped and looked at her suspiciously, trying to read something from her eyes.

Ling Jiuan stared at him closely, his heart full of vigilance.

She couldn't be sure now whether the Lei Tingyi standing in front of her was really him.

In this world full of intrigue and betrayal, she dare not be careless at all.

If this was Yu Lingxi's transformation using the Disguise Pill, then Liu Zhu and Liu Ying in the cave would be in danger.

"You...what's wrong with you?"

Lei Tingyi asked tentatively, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Ling Jiuan didn't answer, she just stared at him closely, trying to find flaws in his every subtle expression and movement.

However, Lei Tingyi's expression was too real, as if it was really him.

As time passed, the atmosphere between the two became more and more tense.

Ling Jiuan knew that she couldn't continue to stay in this stalemate and had to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Can you... prove that you are real?"

She finally asked, a tremor in her voice.

She didn't want to doubt him, but she didn't want to hurt Liuzhu and Liuying even more.

When Lei Tingyi heard this, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the only way to dispel Ling Jiuan's concerns was to prove his identity.

So he began to slowly recount the past events and secret agreements between the two of them, with every detail as clear as yesterday.

As Ling Jiuan listened to his story, his wariness gradually dissipated.

She knew that these past events and secrets were only known to the two of them. If Yu Lingxi had really transformed herself using the Disguise Pill, it would be impossible for her to know these things.

Finally, when Lei Tingyi finished telling the last detail, Jiuan breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at him with a gleam of trust in her eyes again.

"Ok, I trust you."

She said it softly, to herself as well as to him.
