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

Ling Jiuan and Chen Yan embarked on a journey to find fire-attributed spiritual fruits. They headed in the direction where they had picked the spiritual fruits before.

Along the way, Ling Jiuan not only picked many rare spiritual medicines, but also practiced the Sword-Drawing and Heaven-Slashing Art to the third level in his spare time.

One sword defeats ten thousand troops!

As the two were walking through the woods, a clear and beautiful female voice suddenly came from the distance.

"Second brother, we have a great harvest today."

Ling Jiuan raised his eyebrows.

Could this voice be Ling Jiuxi?

She turned to look at the source of the sound.

Sure enough, after a while, Ling Jiuze and Ling Jiuxi led the disciples of the Ling family out from the depths of the forest.

When Ling Jiuxi saw Ling Jiuan, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Ling Jiuan, are you still alive?"

Ling Jiuxi blurted out, seeming surprised at Ling Jiuan's survival.

The Wen family failed to kill Ling Jiuan?

Ling Jiuan smiled coldly.

"Of course I'm alive. Why, do you want me to die?"

"Brothers and sisters are one family, sharing honor and disgrace. What is Third Sister thinking?"

Seeing this, Ling Jiuze quickly tried to smooth things over. He smiled gently at Ling Jiuan.

"Don't worry about it, Fifth Sister. Your Third Sister always speaks her mind."

Ling Jiuan also smiled and said he didn't mind.

"I don't care about that either."

After all, Ling Jiuze is a smiling tiger, and no one can pretend like him.

Ling Jiuze looked at Ling Jiuan in front of him and always felt that she was different from before, but he couldn't tell exactly where she had changed.

He looked at Ling Jiuan with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Jiuan, did you hunt any spirit beads this time?"

Ling Jiuze asked, trying to change the subject.

Ling Jiuan smiled slightly and responded.

"There are a few ordinary spirit beads."

Hearing this, a trace of contempt flashed across Ling Jiuxi's eyes.

She said contemptuously.

"Ordinary spirit beads? But it's true. What good things can a loser like you get?"

Facing Ling Jiuxi's ridicule, Ling Jiuan just smiled faintly and said nothing more.

Chen Yan stood aside, watching the confrontation between the Ling siblings and Ling Jiuan with cold eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the Ling family really didn't know their stuff.

In his opinion, Ling Jiuan is not a waste, but a genius with great potential.

She is a person who has reached the peak of physical training but has no spiritual roots, yet she was able to surpass two levels and even almost killed Wen Lan in the confrontation. If such strength and talent are called waste, then there might not be a true genius in the whole Chenzhou.

However, Chen Yan would naturally not say these words directly.

He preferred to observe quietly from the side and see how Ling Jiuan would use practical actions to slap the faces of those who once looked down on her.

He quite enjoyed that thrilling feeling as long as he didn't get slapped in the face.

At this time, Ling Jiuan was ready to leave, and she pulled Chen Yan forward.

However, Ling Jiuze suddenly called out to them.

"Jiuan, let's go together! We'll have someone to take care of us along the way."

Ling Jiuze's voice was gentle and sincere, as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened.

Ling Jiuan stopped, turned around and looked at him coldly.

"Don't you think I'm a burden now?"

She is so shameless that she feels inferior to him.

Ling Jiuze still maintained a gentle smile.

"What are you talking about? Jiuan, the fact that you can stay safe in the secret realm proves that you are capable enough. Wouldn't it be better if we all go together and take care of each other?"

Ling Jiuan didn't say anything, but just looked at him deeply, then turned his head and continued walking forward.

She didn't want to get too entangled with Ling's family, but she also knew that sometimes, she couldn't avoid it just because she wanted to.

Sure enough, even though Ling Jiuan did not explicitly agree, Ling Jiuze and Ling Jiuxi followed them all the way like a dog-skin plaster.

No matter how fast Ling Jiuan quickened his pace, they were always able to catch up, as if they would not give up until they achieved their goal.

Chen Yan couldn't help but laugh in his heart as he watched this scene.

After entering this secret realm, the family’s style of doing things is truly amazing!

Chen Yan walked aside, glancing at Ling Jiuan from time to time, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"They just keep following us like this, aren't you going to say something?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan frowned, his face full of confusion.

"What am I going to say?"

Chen Yan sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Of course I have to find a way to get rid of them! It's a bit uncomfortable to be followed like this all the time."

After hearing this, Ling Jiuan sneered.

"Do you think I don't want to drive them away? But the problem is, I really can't drive them away. Now the time is not right. When the time is right, I will naturally let them leave."

Chen Yan looked at her in disbelief.

"No way? Could they keep following us like this?"

Ling Jiuan spread his hands, expressing helplessness.

"Well, I'll show you."

As she spoke, she stopped and turned to face Ling Jiuze and Ling Jiuxi who had been following behind her.

She glanced between the two of them, then spoke calmly.

"You two, there's really no need to follow me. I'm just digging for spiritual herbs, and I don't need to look after anyone."

When Ling Jiuze heard this, he showed an embarrassment on his face.

"Jiuan, are you still holding a grudge against your brother and sister? We actually just want to act with you, which is safer this way."

Ling Jiuxi sneered, with a hint of provocation in his tone.

"I don't want to follow you either, but I always feel that you are up to something. Ling Jiuan, if you are not guilty, why don't you let us follow you?"

Facing Ling Jiuxi's questioning and provocation, Ling Jiuan just smiled faintly.

"You can follow me if you want. As long as you are not afraid of delaying the progress of the trial, I don't mind."

Chen Yan couldn't help feeling shocked when he heard what Ling Jiuze and Ling Jiuxi said.

He originally thought that he was quite eloquent, but now facing the "shamelessness" of the Ling brothers and sisters, he felt ashamed of himself. The words and actions of these two people were really beyond his expectations.

Ling Jiuan glanced at Chen Yan indifferently, as if he could see through his thoughts.

"See, I didn't lie to you. That's how they are. They won't give up easily."

Chen Yan shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"Forget it, let's do this for now!"

After hearing this, Ling Jiuan smiled and didn't say much.

She turned around and walked to a tree, then climbed up lightly. She picked a ripe fruit from the tree, shook it at Chen Yan below, and said with a smile.

"Come, eat the spiritual fruit, don't let these little things affect our mood."

As she spoke, she jumped lightly down from the tree and handed the spiritual fruit in her hand to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan took the fruit and looked at Ling Jiuan's calm and composed expression, feeling a little helpless.

He took a bite of the fruit, and the sweet taste spread in his mouth, as if taking away some of the previous unhappiness.
