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

Chapter 86: Madam Lan Fishing

Lei Tingyi looked puzzled when he heard this. He gently stroked his chin, as if thinking about something.

"It seems that Madam Lan needs a few more helpers. She is quite resourceful."

Ling Jiuan looked nonchalant and waved her hand gently.

"Isn't it just the Wen family and Ling Xiaofu? It doesn't matter. I only care about getting stronger. I want to practice. Can you help me again? Why can't I break through the third level of foundation building?"

There was a hint of helplessness and anxiety in her tone, and she was obviously quite dissatisfied with her own training progress.

Hearing this, Lei Tingyi raised his hand and threw out a ball of spiritual power with thunder, which hit Ling Jiuan directly.

As the pain came, Ling Jiuan felt a powerful force surging into her body, and she vaguely felt that she had signs of a breakthrough.

She gritted her teeth, her eyes gleaming with determination.

"Come again!"

After being beaten for a whole day, Ling Jiuan's body seemed to be disassembled and reassembled, with pain and fatigue intertwined.

But in this extreme pain, she finally broke through to the third level of foundation building.

Lei Tingyi stood aside, looking at her face covered in sweat and fatigue, with a complicated expression.

"Your way of practicing is really life-threatening."

There was a hint of helplessness and reproach in Lei Tingyi's voice. He knew very well that Ling Jiuan's training method was extremely extreme, and he was literally exchanging his life for an increase in strength.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan just smiled faintly, with a bit of tenacity and indomitable spirit in that smile.

"The stronger we can become, the better. The so-called celebration party will be here soon. Who knows how much trouble we will encounter by then!"

Lei Tingyi didn't say anything, but was about to throw out another ball of spiritual power to help Ling Jiuan consolidate his cultivation.

However, Ling Jiuan quickly called a halt.

"Okay, that's it! I'm going to go back to bed. I'm so sleepy."

As she spoke, she yawned and looked really tired.

Hearing this, Lei Tingyi was unusually surprised.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Jiuan with a playful expression.

"You still sleep? I thought you only knew how to practice desperately!"

There was a hint of teasing and amusement in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

"Please stop your taunting. You are so strong, but haven't you worked hard in your training? The pot calling the kettle black, we are the same."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction and rebuttal in her voice, and she was obviously a little unhappy with Lei Tingyi's teasing.

Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi just smiled faintly.

He knew very well that what Ling Jiuan said was not unreasonable.

After all, he had walked the same path before and knew the price he had to pay to become stronger.

However, his spiritual root is a top-grade thunder spiritual root, so his path of cultivation will be relatively easier than hers.

But even so, he never dared to slack off.

At the same time, the night fell and the moon was dancing, making Xiaofu sneak into Madam Lan's yard like a kitten stealing the night air.

Madam Lan had already anticipated her arrival. When she heard the servant's report, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes.

“She really came.”

She deliberately let someone spread the news that Jiuxi was punished just to fish.

Mrs. Lan was playing with the jade bracelet in her hand. The bracelet shone with a warm luster under the light. She raised her hand nonchalantly.

"Let her in!"

The next moment, Ling Xiaofu came in from outside. She looked flustered and her steps were disorderly. As soon as she entered the room, she knelt down in front of Madam Lan with a plop, her voice sounding a little tearful.

"Ma'am, save me!"

Mrs. Lan looked at her in feigned surprise, her brows slightly furrowed, and her tone was filled with confusion.

"Xiao Fu, what are you doing? If you have something to say, get up and talk."

However, Ling Xiaofu was still kneeling on the ground, her head lowered, her voice trembling a little.

"To be honest, Madam, I also fought with Ling Jiuan yesterday. It's just..."

When she said this, her tone was full of helplessness and fear.

Mrs. Lan looked at her, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes, and she sighed softly.

"You are confused. Do you know that Jiuxi was punished because he attacked Jiuan?"

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

When Ling Xiaofu heard this, she was so anxious that she was about to cry. She raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes and there was a hint of pleading in her voice.

"Madam, please save me. My father doesn't love me and my mother doesn't care about me. If the head of the family finds out, I'm afraid I will die."

There was a hint of despair and helplessness in her voice.

Mrs. Lan gently helped Ling Xiaofu up, her tone full of helplessness and sorrow.

"You know, she is the eldest daughter, and I am just a concubine. I can't make the decision on this matter. But, I will do my best to plead for you on the side of the head of the family. In the future, you must not be so impulsive."

As she spoke, she gently patted the back of Ling Xiaofu's hand to comfort her.

Mrs. Lan pretended to be a good wife and mother. Her gentle words and concerned eyes made Ling Xiaofu burst into tears.

She looked at Mrs. Lan with tears of gratitude.

"Thank you, Madam! Madam, you helped me, and I will repay you. From now on, I will follow your lead. As long as Madam gives the order, I will fight to the death even if it means killing Ling Jiuan!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Lan just smiled faintly.

"What nonsense! We can't do something so extreme."

After saying that, she sighed pretending to be worried, and she looked like she was really worried about Ling Jiuxi's fate.

"I'm just worried about Jiuxi. Tomorrow is her big day. She should have been congratulated by others together with Jiuan, but now she can only kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment. This is really a headache."

But in fact, she had arranged everything for Ling Jiuxi perfectly.

Hearing this, Ling Xiaofu's heart moved. A fierce light flashed in her eyes, and she immediately thought of a brilliant plan.

She leaned close to Mrs. Lan's ear.

"Madam, how about... we ask Ling Jiuan not to attend? In this way, Miss Jiuxi can become the only focus. What do you think?"

There was a hint of coldness and cunning in her voice, and she couldn't wait to implement this plan.

Mrs. Lan covered her mouth in shock.

"How is this possible..."

She murmured softly, with a hint of hesitation and struggle in her tone.

She seemed a little overwhelmed by this sudden idea.

Madam Lan looked at Ling Xiaofu deeply, with a hint of complicated emotions flashing in her eyes.

She sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and worry in her tone.

"Xiao Fu, you are so impulsive. How can you just say something like this?"
