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

At this moment, Ling Jiuxi collapsed on the ground, unable to resist at all.

She looked at Ling Jiuze breathlessly, her eyes full of pleading and expectation.

"elder brother……"

She called out weakly, as if hoping Ling Jiuze could stand up for her.

However, Ling Jiuze did not respond to her immediately.

He looked at Ling Jiuan deeply, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

He knew that at this moment Ling Jiuan was no longer the weak woman who allowed herself to be bullied.

If she really beat Ling Jiuxi again, the consequences would be disastrous.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"Okay, I promise you. But you have to remember, if you dare to do anything excessive again, I will never let you go!"

He stared at Ling Jiuan fiercely and said.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about superficial things.

This is his biological sister!

Ling Jiuan looked at Ling Jiuxi coldly, with an unquestionable coldness in his tone.

"My dear third sister, don't be so excited when you see me next time. Also, don't think about my things anymore. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Hearing this, Jiuxi felt very depressed.

When had she ever been humiliated and threatened like this?

But he could only lower his head and dared not refute at all.

She knew in her heart that she could not beat Ling Jiuan at her current state, and her brother was restrained by Chen Yan and could not come to help.

In desperation, she could only choose to endure and secretly remember this humiliation in her heart.

Ling Jiuan glanced at Chen Yan beside him and his tone became a little calmer.

"Chen Yan, do you want to go together?"

Chen Yan smiled, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Go!"

He answered readily.

Before leaving, Ling Jiuan took out a low-grade pill given by the Ling family from his arms and casually fed it into Ling Jiuxi's mouth.

"Okay, take care of your wounds. Don't complain later, or I'll be at a loss."

There was a sense of mockery and contempt in her words, as if she was mocking Ling Jiuxi's incompetence.

Although the quality of the pill is a bit inferior, the effect is surprisingly good.

Not long after, Ling Jiuxi's injuries recovered. She stood up again. Although her face was still a little pale, her eyes had regained their former sharpness.

At the same time, a dull bell sounded suddenly, echoing throughout the secret realm.

This is the bell that signals the end of the trial. Everyone who is still in the secret realm must leave immediately.

When Ling Jiuan heard the bell, he walked towards the exit without hesitation.

Seeing this, Chen Yan and the Chen family followed.

Ling Jiuxi stared fiercely at Ling Jiuan's receding back, his eyes bloodshot as if poisoned, revealing deep hatred and unwillingness.

The rage in her heart was burning fiercely, but she couldn't vent it out. This feeling of frustration almost drove her crazy.

Just then, Ling Jiuze came over. He gently supported Ling Jiuxi, with a hint of helplessness and concern in his tone.

"Get up first."

Ling Jiuxi raised her head aggrievedly and looked at Ling Jiuze, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Brother, why don't you help me!"

There was endless grievance and unwillingness in her voice.

Ling Jiuze sighed softly. Didn't he also want to stand up for his sister?

But the reality forced him to choose to be patient.

"Chen Yan is now at the third level of foundation building, and his strength is comparable to mine. If he blocks me, I won't be able to get through."

Hearing this, Ling Jiuxi's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Ling Jiuze in disbelief.

"Third level of foundation building? How is that possible? Isn't he at the peak of Qi training?"

Ling Jiuze looked at her with a complicated expression.

"So I am also very curious about Ling Jiuan's current strength. If she also breaks through the foundation-building stage, I am afraid that the Ling family will have to pay attention to her in the future."

If that happens, it will be troublesome!

"This bitch, she deserves it!"

Ling Jiuxi said this through gritted teeth, her tone full of jealousy and unwillingness.

She hated Ling Jiuan so much in her heart. This bitch whom she once looked down upon actually had a chance to turn things around.

But she was suffering humiliation here, how could she accept this?

Ling Jiuze looked at his sister's angry and distorted face with a complicated expression.

Chen Yan quickly followed Ling Jiuan's pace with a curious look on his face.

"You said it depends on your own ability, but the spirit pearl was snatched away by Ling Jiuxi. What can you use to compete with her?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan smiled gently, with a barely perceptible hint of confidence in his smile.

"I killed a water demon beast in the Spirit Valley Abyss. The magic crystal I got from it is of a much higher grade than that spirit bead."

After hearing this, Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, then showed a surprised expression.

"This...your luck is really both good and bad."

He sighed and said that it was fortunate that Ling Jiuan was able to escape from such a dangerous place and obtained such a precious magic crystal; the bad thing was that she always encountered such life-threatening situations.

Ling Jiuan glanced at him indifferently, as if he didn't want to talk more about his experience.

"There is no such thing as good luck. It's just a narrow escape from death."

She didn't even dare to imagine if Lei Tingyi had not arrived in time, would she have sunk to the bottom of that cold pool forever.

So she didn't beat Ling Jiuxi to death, which really showed that she was patient enough.

Chen Yan looked at Ling Jiuan's indifferent yet determined face and couldn't help but sigh.

"let's go!"

After leaving the secret realm, Ling Jiuan looked around and saw Lei Tingyi standing quietly behind Ling Changfeng from afar.

He is like a solitary peak, out of place in the bustling crowd of Ling family members, yet unique and dazzling.

Ling Jiuan nodded slightly towards Lei Tingyi as a greeting.

Seeing this, Lei Tingyi nodded slightly in response.

He glanced at the spirit fox in Ling Jiuan's arms, seeming to be thinking about something.

Later, Ling Jiuxi and Ling Jiuze also walked out of the secret realm. Ling Jiuxi saw Ling Jiuan at a glance, and she glared at him fiercely, with a trace of resentment and unwillingness in her eyes.

However, Ling Jiuan just sneered in her heart. She was already accustomed to Ling Jiuxi's reaction.

Ling Jiuxi really doesn't remember being beaten, but for her now, none of this matters anymore.

At this time, Ling Changfeng also noticed Ling Jiuan. When he saw the spirit fox in her arms, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

"I asked you to go for the trial, but you went to catch a spirit pet?"

He asked in a deep voice, with a hint of dissatisfaction and reproach in his tone.

It's really not presentable!

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan just smiled faintly and did not directly answer Ling Changfeng's question.

She gently stroked the fox in her arms, as if to soothe it.

Seeing that she ignored him, Changfeng looked unhappy.

"What's your attitude?"

Ling Jiurong on the side also joined in the conversation.

"Father is talking to you, how can you be so disrespectful?"
