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

Uncle Zhong looked at Lei Tingyi, with a look of respect and pride in his eyes.

"This is my Lei Xiao Sect's Young Master."

Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard throughout the banquet hall.

For a moment, everyone was in an uproar.

The man who had always been following Ling Jiuan was actually the young master of Lei Xiao Sect?

Everyone looked at him with surprise and envy, as if they saw infinite possibilities in Ling Jiuan.

When Ling Jiuxi, who was sitting next to Ling Jiuze, heard this, her eyes instantly widened and she stared straight at Lei Tingyi.

The young master of Lei Xiao Sect?

This Lei Tingyi, is his background so powerful?

There was a blazing light in her eyes, and her eyes were filled with burning ambition.

She thought to herself, if at the beginning, she was only attracted by the man’s handsome face, then now, she felt that Lei Tingyi was the only man in the world who was worthy of her.

That bitch Ling Jiuan is really lucky!

But it doesn’t matter. With my stunning appearance and outstanding talent, this man will definitely be mine.

When Madam Lan heard Lei Tingyi's identity, she subconsciously clenched her palms and thought secretly in her heart.

Lei Xiaozong, this person's background is really not ordinary.

Such a person must not be allowed to get away with it, Ling Jiuan.

Thinking of this, she quickly stood up and walked gracefully to Ling Changfeng with a smile on her face.

"You are such a distinguished guest who has come from afar. It really brings honor to our humble home! Please take a seat and have a drink of our wine."

At the same time, her eyes also glanced at Lei Tingyi secretly.

Uncle Zhong glanced coldly at Madam Lan, a meaningful sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Master Ling, can a concubine now attend a proper banquet? As far as I know, this lady is just a concubine. The real wife of the master has passed away for many years."

Hearing this, Ling Changfeng's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Uncle Zhong to mention this matter in such an occasion, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Master Zhong is joking. She is now in charge of the household affairs. Although she is a concubine, she is still an important member of the family."

There was a hint of helplessness and embarrassment in his voice, but he was also trying his best to maintain Madam Lan's status.

But Lei Xiao Sect is the largest sect, and he can't afford to offend it.

However, Uncle Zhong just smiled coldly, and that smile was full of disdain and ridicule.

"That's true. It's rare for a concubine to be in charge of household chores."

Then he turned and looked at Lei Tingyi, his tone filled with some respect and politeness.

"Young Master, you and Miss Ling Wu please take a seat first!"

His attitude changed instantly, but it also slapped Mrs. Lan in the face.

Lei Tingyi nodded and glanced at Ling Jiuan.

"Let's go!"

Mrs. Lan, who was completely ignored, felt extremely humiliated. She clenched her teeth, but couldn't get angry.

She could only follow Ling Changfeng back to his seat in silence, her heart filled with resentment and anger.

Ling Changfeng also knew that Mrs. Lan had been wronged, so he held her hand and tried to give her some comfort.

"Lan'er, don't take it to heart."

There was a hint of apology and helplessness in his voice.

As the head of the family, he has to consider the Ling family in everything he says and does.

Lei Xiaozong just raised his hand, and the Ling family was gone.

So at this time, he couldn't do anything to Manager Zhong.

Madam Lan gave Ling Changfeng a bitter smile, her smile was full of bitterness and helplessness.

"Don't worry, Master. I'm fine."

There was a hint of strength and forbearance in her voice, which made Ling Changfeng feel even more distressed.

Ling Jiuan's gaze shifted between Ling Changfeng and Madam Lan, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind.

She remembered that the original owner's mother died of childbirth complications. After her death, Ling Changfeng did not remarry, but supported Madam Lan, allowing her to maintain her status in the family.

From beginning to end, the only beneficiary of this incident was Mrs. Lan.

So, does this mean that the death of the original owner’s mother might not have been an accident?

Thinking of this, she subconsciously clenched her fists, and an indescribable anger and grief surged in her heart.

Lei Tingyi, who was standing next to her, noticed her abnormality and frowned slightly.

"what happened?"

Ling Jiuan shook his head and forced a smile.

"nothing."

She knew clearly that she had no evidence at the moment. If she accused Mrs. Lan without any reason, it would not only be useless but might also alert the enemy.

At this moment, the head of the Chen family suddenly spoke. His voice was deep and powerful, breaking the silence in the room.

"Master Ling, Chief Steward Zhong, I think Chief Steward Zhong has come from afar today to see if there are any disciples who are destined to be with the Lei Xiao Sect. In this case, why don't we let the young disciples from each family here have a fight or two?"

Uncle Zhong smiled when he heard this.

"What Patriarch Chen said is absolutely right. I have no objection."

Having said this, Ling Changfeng had no choice but to go along with it. He nodded.

"In that case, then I'll follow your advice and stop there."

The next moment, Chen Yan was the first to stand up, and he spoke with a smile.

"Chen Yan from the Chen family challenges the second young master and the third young lady from the Ling family."

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the banquet hall, attracting everyone's attention.

Hearing this, Ling Changfeng's expression changed slightly. He did not expect that Chen Yan would challenge the two sons of the Ling family at the same time.

"Young Master Chen, are you challenging both of them together?"

Chen Yan smiled, that smile was full of confidence and arrogance. "Yes, I want to challenge both of them at the same time."

Ling Jiuze stared at Chen Yan sinisterly, his eyes flashing with anger and disdain.

"If you want to compete, I can just compete with you. Why bring Jiuxi along?"

There was a hint of questioning and dissatisfaction in his voice, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Chen Yan's behavior.

Chen Yan smiled coldly, that smile was full of ridicule and disdain.

"I'm just worried that you can't win! Stop talking nonsense, do you two want to fight?"

Ling Jiuze and Ling Jiuxi looked at each other, feeling a little stuck in a dilemma.

They knew that if the two of them defeated Chen Yan together, others would think that they were outnumbered and their victory was unfair.

And if you lose, you will lose all face.

Seeing that the two were reluctant to respond to the challenge, Chen Yan deliberately provoked them.

"Are you afraid? Haha, the children of the Ling family are just like this!"

There was a hint of sarcasm and contempt in his laughter, deliberately angering Ling Jiuze and Ling Jiuxi.

Hearing this, Ling Jiuxi couldn't keep calm anymore and she agreed immediately.

"Just compete, don't regret it if you lose!"

Damn Chen Yan, he is also a waste, what is he so rampant about?

Today, she must let Chen Yan know how powerful she is.

Chen Yan looked calm and composed.

"It's still unknown who will win or lose! Come on, let me see how capable the children of the Ling family are."
