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

Ling Jiuan felt somewhat unconvinced. He got up from the ground, brushed off the dust on his body, with a stubborn look in his eyes.

"Your spiritual power has recovered. I always feel like I can't handle it."

There was a hint of helplessness and reluctance in her tone.

Lei Tingyi's expression remained unchanged, like a steady mountain. He raised his hand again, and a ball of spiritual power condensed in his palm, like a bright star, attacking her.

The spiritual energy contained tremendous power, as if it could tear apart all obstacles.

Ling Jiuan managed to catch this ball of spiritual power. Her eyes were firm and her posture was upright, like a pine tree standing tall in the wind and rain.

However, despite this, she was still knocked to the ground by the spiritual power and was in a miserable state.

Lei Tingyi glanced at her indifferently, with a barely perceptible hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes.

"If your mind is not pure, you will not be able to bear it."

Ling Jiuan frowned, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

“I am very pure.”

Lei Tingyi smiled faintly, and that smile contained a bit of wisdom and calmness.

"You have resentment and dissatisfaction in your heart."

Ling Jiuan smiled, with a hint of self-mockery and helplessness in that smile.

"Why didn't you say I was afraid?"

Lei Tingyi had an indifferent expression, his eyes were as deep as a pool.

"Although I didn't see how you fought in the secret realm, but you were able to get those spirit beads. Each high-level spirit bead was obtained by fighting against higher-level spirit beads. It is destined that you are not a person who will be afraid."

Ling Jiuan smiled, and there was a sense of relief and calmness in that smile.

"You know me well."

Lei Tingyi didn't respond, but just looked at her quietly, and then reminded her.

"When practicing, if you have too many distracting thoughts, you will easily go astray and lose all your previous efforts."

Ling Jiuan took a deep breath, as if taking all the spiritual energy around her into her chest. Then she stood on the wooden stake again, closed her eyes, concentrated, and began to practice.

She stood there quietly all night, her body straight and upright like a green pine, and she did not waver even when the night wind blew past her.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and fell on the courtyard, Lei Tingyi slowly walked out of the house.

He looked up and saw Ling Jiuan still standing on the wooden stake, his posture the same as before. He couldn't help but frowned subconsciously, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"are not you tired?"

Ling Jiuan slowly opened his eyes, with a bright light in his eyes like two shining stars.

"Not tired."

Just then, a soft voice came from the door, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.

"Fifth Miss, are you there?"

There was a hint of respect and expectation in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan somersaulted down from the wooden stake with a clean and neat movement, like a nimble swallow.

Then she quickly walked forward to open the door, with a look of curiosity and anticipation on her face.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a group of people standing at the door holding all kinds of gorgeous fabrics and jewelry, looking at her with smiles on their faces.

Ling Jiuan frowned subconsciously, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"What is this doing?"

The leader, Mother Wang, spoke with a smile, her face full of wrinkles, but she looked particularly flattering.

"Fifth Miss, these are what Madam Lan asked us to send over. Please take a look and see if there is anything you like. Feel free to keep it!"

There was a hint of flattery and anticipation in her voice.

Ling Jiuan looked at those gorgeous clothes and jewelry, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

She shook her head slightly.

"It's too complicated. Just leave two sets of plain clothes and get me some spirit stones."

There was a hint of indifference and calmness in her tone, and she didn't care about these mundane things.

Upon seeing this, Mother Wang quickly put on a smile, which contained a hint of flattery and embarrassment.

"To reply to Fifth Miss, we still need to keep two sets of clothes for the banquet the day after tomorrow. Isn't it inappropriate to be too plain?"

There was a hint of caution in her words, as if she was afraid of angering the lady in front of her.

Ling Jiuan frowned slightly, glanced at the clothes, and finally pointed at the fiery red dress.

"That one."

Her voice was calm and firm, without a trace of hesitation.

Mother Wang's expression suddenly became somewhat embarrassed. She looked at the fiery red dress and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

"This one……"

She hesitated to speak, as if it was difficult to start.

Ling Jiuan looked at her leisurely, with a faint smile on his lips.

"What? Inconvenient?"

There was a hint of teasing and amusement in her tone, as if she was watching a good show.

Mother Wang's eyes rolled and she nodded quickly, the smile on her face becoming even brighter.

"Convenient, convenient."

There was a hint of urgency and flattery in her words.

Ling Jiuan nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Then just take those plain sets and that one in. You don't have to put them in the house, just put them on the stone table in the yard."

Her voice was calm and indifferent, as if she was just giving instructions for a trivial matter.

Hearing this, a sly look flashed in Mother Wang's eyes, and she quickly responded.

"Yes, ma'am."

Having said that, she turned around and put her clothes away.

After she put the clothes away, Ling Jiuan smiled coldly, with a hint of sarcasm and amusement in his smile.

“Who were these clothes originally for?”

Mother Wang subconsciously pretended to be stupid. She smiled foolishly and shook her head.

"I don't understand what you are saying, young lady."

There was a hint of embarrassment and concealment in her smile, as if she was afraid that Ling Jiuan would notice something.

Seeing her playing dumb, Ling Jiuan smiled gently, with a hint of amusement and profound meaning in that smile.

"Forget it. If you don't want to tell me, I won't make it difficult for you. But if anyone comes to trouble me later, Master Lei has a stone. He has recorded everything that happened just now. Don't blame me."

She probably knew what Mrs. Lan wanted to do, so she just cooperated.

But who gets into trouble at that time is not her business.

When Mother Wang heard this, sweat covered her forehead, her face turned pale as paper, and her body trembled slightly, as if she was frightened by an invisible force.

She subconsciously knelt down, muttering to herself.

"Miss, slave..."

Ling Jiuan interrupted her gently, a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll go to the accounting office to get the spirit stones later. You can ask them to prepare more. After all, I haven't seen what spirit stones look like in all these years. If there are too few, I will go to Madam Lan in person."

There was a hint of coldness and threat in her voice, like a cheetah ready to pounce.

Mother Wang nodded repeatedly, with a trace of panic and fear in her eyes.

"Yes! Yes! I will go and tell them to prepare right away."

There was a hint of urgency and flattery in her words, as if she was afraid that Ling Jiuan would change his mind.

After saying that, she turned and left.
