Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

After breakfast, Lu Lingyuntian and Lu Lingxiyao returned to the Lu Ling residence. Lu Lingyuntian, dressed in a brocade robe, walked hurriedly, already immersed in the complicated affairs of the residence. His figure shuttled between the study and the council hall.

As Lu Lingxi wandered aimlessly through the well-arranged pavilions and towers of the mansion, a thought slipped through her mind like morning dew: Nalan Rongzhi seemed to have disappeared since the Lin family. People are always like this; when he's around, they find him annoying, but when he's not around, they miss him. The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, so she decided to go for a stroll in the streets.

Just as they arrived near the gate of Lu Ling Mansion, a commotion surged from not far away, a cacophony of fear, curiosity, and various speculations. It turned out that the people of Guiyun City, who had just dispersed from the edge of the Lin family ruins, were returning with lingering shock and discussions.

"Did you witness it with your own eyes? The Lin family's tragic state was simply hell on earth!" A middle-aged man with a terrified face spoke, his hands trembling as he tried to erase the horrific scene from his memory.

"Yes, I mustered my courage and went closer. I saw the ground covered in crimson, like a river bursting its banks. The scattered human fragments were horrifying. At that moment, I almost suffocated." A young woman next to me said, her voice trembling with tears. Her eyes were vacant, clearly still unable to shake off the bloody scene.

"Sigh, don't even mention looking at it. Just standing there from a distance, the strong smell of blood mixed with the stench of decay hit my nose and made me gag on the spot." Another old man shook his head and sighed, his face full of感慨 about the impermanence of life.

"We ordinary folks dare not even glance at it. We just hope to leave that place of trouble as soon as possible," someone in the crowd echoed, their voices filled with fear and helplessness.

"Speaking of which, I'm really curious. What kind of expert could have such ability to remove the Lin family from Guiyun City overnight?" This remark immediately resonated with those around them, and everyone cast puzzled glances, but no one could provide an answer.

"Who knows? We ordinary folks should stay out of these family feuds and avoid getting caught in the crossfire. All we can do now is chat about this shocking event over tea and after dinner, just for the sake of gossip," a seemingly knowledgeable old man concluded. His words were like a dose of cooling oil, calming the chaotic thoughts of the crowd, but the fear left behind lingered for a long time.

Ling Xiyao's brows furrowed involuntarily. Just as she was about to return to the mansion to find a quiet place, she suddenly heard a "thump". She turned around in surprise and saw a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties kneeling on the ground, staring intently at her with eyes full of gratitude.

“Young Miss, I am Liu Kun. I have come here to express my deepest gratitude to you.” The man’s tone was sincere and earnest.

Seeing Lu Lingxi's puzzled expression, the man continued, "If you hadn't taken action to eliminate the Lin family, my granddaughter would probably never have come back. That villain Lin Wenkang actually kidnapped my precious granddaughter to the Lin residence yesterday. His actions were outrageous. Your heroic act not only brought light to my granddaughter but also to countless people who were oppressed by the Lin family."

As Liu Kun finished speaking, the surrounding crowd seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, casting astonished glances at him.

Among them, some whispered among themselves: So, the young lady who was rumored to be considered "useless" in the Lu family was actually the mastermind behind the destruction of the Lin family? This news exploded in everyone's hearts like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

Immediately, speculation arose one after another. People's faces were filled with astonishment and disbelief. They whispered among themselves, questioning whether this sudden news was true.

Amidst the noise, a slightly aged yet clearly audible voice suddenly rang out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Old Liu, do you have any evidence to support your claim?"

"It wasn't exactly something I saw with my own eyes. My granddaughter was taken to the Lin family, and I planned to sneak into the Lin residence under the cover of night. However, I didn't expect that Miss Lu Ling would arrive just as I got to a spot not far from the Lin family. Because of the barrier she set up, I couldn't get in, nor could I see or hear what was happening inside. It was only after Miss Lu Ling came out that I sneaked in, only to find that the Lin family members had died in bizarre ways, and none of them had survived. Isn't that enough to prove that Miss Lu Ling did it?"

Lin Kun glanced around at the crowd who had once scorned the Lin family and mocked the young lady. His voice was deep and powerful, each word seeming to strike a chord in everyone's heart.

“In the past, you all mocked the young lady for being useless, and even made her the laughing stock of Guiyun City. Have you ever thought that a person’s value cannot be measured solely by superficial strength or talent?”

Lin Kun paused slightly, a complex light flashing in his eyes, and continued, "Now that the Lin family has been wiped out, shouldn't you be thanking the young lady you looked down on? She may have been the 'good-for-nothing' you spoke of, but she single-handedly eliminated this tyrannical and wicked family for the people."

Lin Kun's words were like a torrent, assaulting everyone's mental defenses. His tone became even more severe as he recounted the evil deeds of the Lin family, word by word.

"Don't forget how the Lin family bullied others in Guiyun City, how many fertile fields they seized, leaving hardworking farmers homeless; how many women they abducted, destroying the happiness of countless families; and how they oppressed the people, making the innocent people of this land live in fear and despair!"

Lin Kun's words were like a sudden clap of thunder in spring, instantly awakening their long-dormant memories. The scenes of being oppressed by the Lin family surged back like a tide, but this time, it was no longer repression and helplessness, but anger and awakening.

In an instant, an indescribable emotional resonance surged through the crowd. Without words or instructions, everyone seemed to be of one mind, and knelt down in unison, facing Lu Lingxi Yao, expressing their most sincere feelings.

Some had tears in their eyes, relieved that they had finally been freed from the humiliation they had suffered for so long; others bowed their heads in apology, a self-reproach for their past silence and weakness. It was as if, at this moment, they were all willing to put everything down, just to express their deepest respect to this hero.

After returning from watching the commotion at the Lin family's place with Huan Yue, Zhi Xia's eyes welled up with tears of relief upon seeing the scene before her. How long ago was it that when the young lady walked with her on the streets of Guiyun City, she always kept her head down, enduring the open and covert mockery and bullying of passersby, as if she were someone forgotten by the world.

Now, all of this has vanished like smoke in the wind. The people of Guiyun City are no longer indifferent bystanders, but instead cast grateful and admiring glances at them. Some even spontaneously kneel down, constantly expressing their gratitude to Lu Lingxi Yao.

All of this is because of Miss Lu Lingxi Yao!

Lu Lingxi stood there, her eyes calm, her voice soft yet clear enough to reach everyone's ears.

"Everyone, get up. I destroyed the Lin family for my own sake, not for yours." After saying this, Lu Lingxi turned and went back to the mansion without lingering or explaining further.
