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

Chapter 120 Do You Want to Be a Concubine?

Only Ling Jiuxi arrived late. She was pale and her steps were unsteady. It was obvious that her body had not fully recovered yet.

She let the maid support her as she walked over, and every step seemed so difficult.

When she saw Ling Jiuan, her body trembled involuntarily, and a trace of fear and anxiety flashed in her eyes.

Why is this monster here too?

When Ling Jiuan saw her like this, he immediately understood.

She understood that the reason why Madam Lan and Ling Jiuze came to test her was because Ling Jiuxi had woken up.

I'm afraid Ling Jiucheng's rhetoric is no longer effective.

Mrs. Lan still suspected that the person that day was herself, not Ling Jiucheng.

She pondered secretly in her heart but kept calm on her face.

Now it's all out in the open, there's no way to avoid it.

So, she just glanced at Ling Jiuxi indifferently, then turned around and continued to wait for the head of the family to summon her.

Madam Lan and Ling Jiuze walked into the crowd, their eyes occasionally glancing at Ling Jiuan.

However, Ling Jiuan seemed to be completely unaware of their gazes and just stood there quietly.

About a quarter of an hour later, the heavy door of the council hall slowly opened.

Ling Changfeng and the elders filed out, all with solemn looks on their faces. It was obvious that the discussion just now was not easy.

Ling Changfeng stopped, looked around at everyone present, and then spoke lightly with unquestionable majesty in his voice.

"It's an emergency, and after discussion, you will be sent to the front line during this wild beast attack."

The strong men from all the major families are on the front lines, and now these are just new bloods.

Upon hearing this, everyone present bowed and responded in unison.

"I will obey the order of the master of the family."

Then, Ling Changfeng's gaze fell on Ling Jiuan and Ling Jiuze. He pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Among the people present, apart from the major family forces that are already on the front line, the strongest are Jiuan and Jiuze. But Jiuze has been to the front line many times in recent years and has sufficient experience. So this time when we go to the front line, Jiuze will be the commander, and Jiuan will be the second."

In fact, in his heart, he prefers Ling Jiuan.

It’s just that Ling Jiuan is too young, and the family elders don’t agree, so it’s useless even if he is the head of the family.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

They knew that Ling Jiuze and Ling Jiuan were both the best in the Ling family, and having them lead the team to the front line was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

At this time, Ling Changfeng bowed to Lei Tingyi who was beside Ling Jiuan, with a bit of respect and pleading in his tone.

"Master Lei, are you going to the front line?"

Lei Tingyi glanced at him indifferently, then nodded.

"If Jiuan goes, I will go of course."

Upon hearing this, Ling Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief and a look of gratitude appeared on his face.

He bowed quickly.

"Then it's up to Young Master Lao Lei to protect Jiu'an and the disciples of the Ling family."

Lei Tingyi nodded indifferently and said nothing more.

Soon, everyone will set off.

The sunlight slanted onto the square in front of the council hall, stretching the shadows of the people out into long lines.

At this moment, Mrs. Lan's eyes suddenly turned red. She crawled a few steps on her knees and knelt in front of Ling Changfeng.

Her voice was choked and pleading.

"Master, Jiuxi just woke up. If she goes to the front line in this state, she will be a burden. Otherwise... let her stay at home!"

She wants to fight, but her two children have to be well, for her fight to be meaningful.

However, Ling Jiuxi rarely sang a different tune from her.

She struggled to stand up. Although her face was pale, her eyes were extremely determined.

"Mother, I want to go to the front. My second brother and fifth sister have all gone, so how can I not go? What's more, with Master Lei here, nothing will happen to me."

Her purpose was very clear. Since Ling Jiuan was taught by Lei Tingyi, she had to go even more.

If she could gain Lei Tingyi's favor, then both her cultivation and her status would be improved in the future. So she had to go to the front line this time.

She didn't want to be stepped on by Ling Jiuan all her life, so she had to step on Ling Jiuan herself!

Hearing this, Changfeng became a little hesitant.

He frowned, his eyes wandering between Ling Jiuxi and Madam Lan.

He knew Ling Jiuxi's plan, but Ling Jiucheng had also warned that people from the second house were not allowed to touch Ling Jiuan's things, including Lei Tingyi.

He sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and compromise in his tone.

"You should ask Young Master Lei what he thinks about this matter! If he agrees, then you can go with him."

When Ling Jiuxi heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

She quickly turned around and looked at Lei Tingyi who was standing not far away, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.

She knew that this was her chance and she had to seize it.

So she plucked up her courage and walked towards Lei Tingyi.

"Master Lei, can I stay with you on the front line this time?"

Lei Tingyi's gaze fell coldly on Ling Jiuxi.

He spoke slowly, his voice filled with unquestionable rejection.

"No."

Ling Jiuxi bit her lip, looking shaky.

There was a flash of reluctance and grievance in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great blow.

"Why? Master Lei, I... I am not a useless piece of trash, I..."

There was a hint of pleading and reluctance in her words.

I find it hard to accept Lei Tingyi’s rejection.

Why am I inferior to that bitch Ling Jiuan?

However, Lei Tingyi interrupted her mercilessly.

"Miss Ling San, you should know that I am your sister's person. Isn't it inappropriate for you to stick close to me like this?"

Hearing this, Ling Jiuxi subconsciously wanted to quibble, but was interrupted by Ling Jiuan.

She looked at Ling Jiuxi coldly, with a hint of sarcasm and dissatisfaction in her tone.

"Third sister, you knew that Ayi and I were in love, but you kept pestering Ayi. Are you trying to steal her away? To steal your own sister's man?"

Mrs. Lan taught her daughter all her methods without reservation.

Lei Tingyi grabbed Ling Jiuan's hand and spoke in a loud voice.

"She can't take it away."

Ling Jiuan smiled.

This Lei Tingyi, his acting is quite realistic.

But if he cooperates, things will be much easier.

She looked at Ling Jiuxi, with a hint of teasing and sarcasm in her tone.

"So, Third Sister is planning to be a concubine?"

There was a hint of playfulness and sarcasm in her words, as if she found Ling Jiuxi's plan very ridiculous.

For a moment, the disciples around were talking about it.

"Could it be that this Third Miss really has a crush on Young Master Lei?"

"Isn't this normal? Master Lei, who doesn't like him?"

"But Miss Fifth is now both capable and beautiful, and she and Young Master Lei are friends in times of trouble. How can Miss Third compare to them?"

……

Ling Jiuxi's face turned pale and blue, she was so angry that she was shaking all over and almost couldn't breathe.

Seeing that Lei Tingyi clearly rejected Ling Jiuxi's request, Ling Changfeng made a decision in his heart.

He turned his gaze calmly to Ling Jiuxi and spoke lightly.

"In that case, you should listen to your mother, stay at the Ling family and get well soon."

In fact, he was unwilling to let Jiuxi go to the front line.

But sometimes, if he kept helping Ling Jiuan, he would end up hurting Ling Jiuan.

Ling Jiuxi wanted to open his mouth to argue, but was held tightly by Madam Lan.

Madam Lan looked at her sternly and whispered.

"Xi'er!"

Ling Jiuxi curled her lips, a trace of unwillingness and grievance flashed in her eyes, but she still retreated obediently and whispered.

"Yes, father, mother."

Ling Changfeng nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Ling Jiuze and Ling Jiuan.

"It's almost time, you guys should get ready to go!"

After all, the war on the front line is more important. There is no need to waste so much time on these trivial matters.

Upon hearing this, the two men immediately bowed to Ling Changfeng.

"Yes, father."

Afterwards, everyone made hand gestures and prepared to fly into the air.

However, only Ling Jiuan, who is a physical cultivator, cannot fly.

She stood there, watching everyone rise into the air, a hint of helplessness and self-mockery flashing in her eyes.

This is the only downside to physical training!

It seems that she has to find an opportunity to catch a flying spirit beast.

Ling Jiuze looked at Ling Jiuan, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and then he spoke in a pretentious manner.

"Hey, Jiuan, I forgot that you can't fly. How about...I take you with me?"

There was a hint of teasing and sarcasm in his words, and it was obvious that he was deliberately trying to provoke Ling Jiuan.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were cast on Ling Jiuan, some with sympathy, some with ridicule, and some with a mentality of watching a good show.

Ling Jiuan sneered in his heart, he really was letting him pretend!
