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

The Huixiang Stone in Ling Jiuan's hand floated up gently, suspended in the air, emitting a faint light.

The next moment, everything that happened today was clearly displayed before everyone's eyes like a scroll.

From Ling Jiuxi deliberately putting the spirit beast into the medicine garden, to her turning the tables and accusing Ling Jiuan of hurting her spirit pet, to her trying to beat Ling Jiuan, every detail was vivid in her mind.

About a cup of tea's time passed, and everyone took a close look at the whole process.

Ling Changfeng's face became increasingly gloomy. He glanced at Ling Jiuxi with an expression as cold as ice.

"Ling Jiuxi, you not only want to steal your sister's clothes, but also her spirit fox? You want to hurt others when you don't get what you want? Who taught you the rules?"

There was a hint of anger and disappointment in Ling Changfeng's words.

Hearing this, Mrs. Lan's eyes flickered. She looked at Ling Jiuan thoughtfully, secretly amazed in her heart.

She underestimated Ling Jiuan and didn't expect that she would have such means.

She knelt on the ground, her tone full of guilt.

"Master, I am the one who failed to teach my daughter well. Please punish me."

Mrs. Lan lowered her head, her voice trembling a little.

Mrs. Lan's words diverted Ling Changfeng's attention.

He sighed, picked up Mrs. Lan from the ground, and his tone was filled with helplessness and tolerance.

"How can I blame you? You've been taking care of the Ling family for so many years, so it's normal that you can't take care of the children."

Ling Changfeng gently patted the back of Mrs. Lan's hand to comfort her.

Then, he looked at Ling Jiuxi coldly, his tone stern and questioning.

"Tell me, do you know you are wrong?"

Ling Changfeng's eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Ling Jiuxi's heart.

Ling Jiuxi clenched his fists, his heart filled with resentment and resentment, but he still had to bow his head and admit his mistake.

She lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs and grievance.

"Father, I know I was wrong."

Ling Jiuxi's eyes reddened, but she forced herself not to let the tears fall.

She knew that crying at this time would only make her look more pitiful and helpless.

Ling Jiuan watched this scene nonchalantly, but his heart was like a surging river or sea, with waves rising and falling.

She was curious about how Ling Changfeng would punish Ling Jiuxi now. Would he punish her rudely and let her go lightly, or would he be fair and just to serve as a warning to others?

She secretly guessed in her heart that with Madam Lan around, Ling Changfeng probably wouldn't punish Ling Jiuxi severely.

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes, but it also made her more resolute.

Now that she has fought back, there is no way she can let this matter go so easily.

She looked at Ling Changfeng and softened her attitude, which was rare for her, with a hint of grievance and helplessness in her voice.

"Father, it's my fault. In the secret realm, my third sister stole my spirit pearl. I was so angry that I argued with her. I was young and ignorant at the time, and I didn't know how to be patient, so I made father worry."

When Ling Changfeng heard this, his expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Ling Jiuan to suddenly give in, and he didn't expect her to mention the things in the secret realm.

He looked at Ling Jiuxi, with a hint of blame and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Seeing this, Ling Jiuan continued speaking.

"Father knows that I have lived alone in the medicinal fields in the back mountains since I was a child, with no one to rely on. It was only when I met Young Master Lei Ting by chance that I had the opportunity to practice. To me, that spirit fox is not only a spirit beast, but also my good friend. So when my third sister fought with me for it several times, I was very anxious, afraid of losing it. So when I fought back, I might have been a little heavy-handed, but I was also helpless and wanted to protect myself."

Speaking of this, Ling Jiuan's eyes reddened slightly, she lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs and pleading.

"Father, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have argued with my third sister, let alone hit her so hard. But please believe me, I didn't mean to hurt her. I was just... just too scared."

Her voice trembled, as if she was really a child who had suffered injustice and fright.

Isn’t it just tea talk?

As a 21st century spy, she is more than just a man of steel and loyalty.

After all, there are some necessary things that they also need to learn.

When Ling Jiuxi heard Ling Jiuan's words, her face turned pale instantly. She could no longer hold back the anger in her heart and started cursing.

"Ling Jiuan, you are talking nonsense! What right do you have to slander me!"

Her voice was sharp and piercing, wanting to pour out all her dissatisfaction and resentment.

Damn Ling Jiuan!

Then she turned to look at Ling Changfeng, her eyes flashing with pleading, and she argued eagerly.

"Father, she is framing me. I didn't do that! I really didn't steal her spirit pearl, and I didn't bully her!"

There was a hint of anxiety and grievance in her tone, as if she was really a child who had been wronged.

Ling Changfeng frowned and looked a little ugly.

He glanced at Ling Jiuan, then at Ling Jiuxi, and sighed inwardly.

What are you still trying to argue about now?

He spoke in a deep voice.

"You fought for the clothes and the spirit fox, that's all true. But you stole Jiuan's spirit pearl, which one was it? The Red Feather Beast's? Or the other one?"

He knew Ling Jiuxi's strength too well, so he could tell who was lying.

Ling Changfeng was very clear that if this matter got out of hand, Ling Jiuxi's third place in the trial would be lost, and the Ling family would lose face.

There was a hint of severity and questioning in his words, which made it impossible for Ling Jiuxi to escape.

Mrs. Lan standing by also knew this, so even though she was extremely dissatisfied, she did not say anything at this moment.

She just stared at Ling Jiuan closely, with a complicated look in her eyes.

This little bitch is really hard to deal with.

It was because I was careless for a moment and underestimated her.

Ling Jiuan looked at Ling Changfeng with an indifferent expression.

"Father, the matter of the spirit pearl concerns the reputation of the Ling family, so let's leave it at that! We all prosper together and we all suffer together. Third sister's glory is also my glory, and my glory is naturally also Third sister's."

Changfeng felt very relieved by these words. He nodded with satisfaction, with admiration gleaming in his eyes.

"You have improved a lot. I wronged you for what happened today."

However, Ling Jiuan did not stop there.

"But father, please give me justice for what happened today. Otherwise, anyone in the Ling family will follow the example of my third sister and bully my daughter by filing a complaint first."

Although her voice was calm, it contained a firm strength.

She looked at Ling Changfeng, her eyes flashing with an unquestionable light.

She knew that this time, she had to fight for justice for herself, otherwise she would never have peace in the Ling family.

If Ling Changfeng doesn't give her justice, she will force him to give her justice.

One day, she will give herself justice.
