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

Chapter 131: Being a father in vain

Ling Changfeng looked at Lei Tingyi with a slightly awkward smile on his face.

"Master Lei, you are joking. Both the palm and the back of my hand are made of flesh. How can I be partial to them?"

In his opinion, Ling Jiuan had not suffered any substantial harm, so there was no need to make a big deal out of it.

Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi curled up the corner of his mouth into a cold smile, which contained endless chillness.

"That's wrong. The flesh on the palm is more than that on the back. Master Ling, have you ever truly balanced the scale in your heart?"

His voice was not loud, but every word was like a needle, piercing Changfeng's heart.

Ling Changfeng's expression almost collapsed. He suppressed the anger in his heart and tried hard to maintain the dignity of the head of the family.

"Master Lei, what do you mean? As the head of the family, I must be fair and just."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, but he didn't dare look directly into Lei Tingyi's eyes.

Even if Lei Tingyi meddled in other people's business, he couldn't do anything to him.

After all, in his heart, Ling Jiuan was just an outsider who refused to obey orders.

But Ling Jiuze is truly his son.

Lei Tingyi met his gaze and spoke bluntly.

"Master Ling, do you think I have wronged you? Ling Jiuan fought one against a hundred on the battlefield and made great contributions to the Ling family, but he did not receive the treatment he deserved. Don't you think this is a bit unreasonable?"

He could clearly see Ling Changfeng's bias, but he insisted on protecting Ling Jiuan.

Ling Changfeng was choked by these words. Although he was dissatisfied, he could not refute it.

After all, Ling Jiuan's strength is there, and as the head of the family, he cannot lie with his eyes open.

"Please, Master Lei, finish the rest of the whipping."

It seems that today, even he can't protect Ling Jiuze.

Lei Tingyi picked up the whip and mercilessly lashed him with the remaining fifteen lashes.

Every time the whip landed on Ling Jiuze's body, he let out screams.

Ling Jiuze had already fainted, and slumped limply on a stool, his face as pale as paper.

After the beating, Lei Tingyi threw away the whip and spoke coldly.

"Okay, take him away!"

None of the people in the Ling family can compare to Ling Jiuan.

One is weaker than the other!

Even Ling Jiucheng is still inferior to Ling Jiuan.

After Ling Jiuze was carried away, Lei Tingyi bowed to Ling Changfeng.

"Please forgive me, Master Ling. I have no intention of becoming an enemy of the Second Young Master. It's just that whoever's family belongs to them should protect them, and Ling Jiuan is mine. Since your Ling family doesn't protect her, I can only step in to do the job for her."

Ling Changfeng looked at Lei Tingyi with mixed feelings.

He knew that Lei Tingyi came for Ling Jiuan, but as the head of the family, he was unable to give Ling Jiuze the protection he deserved.

This made him feel powerless.

At the same time, he was also afraid of Lei Tingyi's strength and identity.

After all, Lei Tingyi is the young master of the Lei Xiao Sect, with powerful strength and noble status.

Although his Ling family is also a force, it is still far inferior to the Lei Xiao Sect.

Therefore, he could only watch Lei Tingyi beat Ling Jiuze half to death, and was unable to stop him.

Seeing that the farce was almost over, Ling Jiuan spoke indifferently. "Thank you, father, for your justice."

Jiuan was actually reluctant to call him "father". A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, as if she was silently protesting against the title.

In her opinion, Ling Changfeng was not a qualified father. His partiality and indifference had already completely destroyed the affection in her heart.

As for the original owner, he was even more derelict in his duty.

It doesn’t matter whether there is such a father or not.

Ling Changfeng glanced at her with a bad tone, seeming to be quite dissatisfied with her attitude.

"That's all for today. From now on, you brothers and sisters must respect and love each other."

He tried to suppress the turmoil by using his status as the head of the family.

However, Ling Jiuan didn't buy it and she smiled coldly.

"Father, you are too serious. You should talk to my second brother about this!"

Since Ling Changfeng didn't care about her, there was no need for her to care about Ling Changfeng's pathetic dignity.

"I have always been a person who will not offend others unless they offend me, but if someone offends me, I will definitely return the favor double. Now, because he is my second brother, and you and Madam Lan are fully protecting him, I am willing to stop here. As for more, you can't ask me for anything else."

If her strength wasn't limited, she wouldn't mind killing Ling Jiuze directly.

Ling Changfeng's face looked extremely ugly. He didn't expect Ling Jiuan to contradict him like this.

However, in front of Lei Tingyi, he couldn't do anything to Ling Jiuan and could only suppress the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.

He looked at Ling Jiuan deeply.

This daughter, with her rebellious appearance, really looks a lot like her mother when she was young.

The entire hall fell into silence, with only the sound of people breathing.

They were all waiting for Ling Changfeng's next move, but he just stood there, staring at Ling Jiuan motionlessly.

In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and turn away.

Ling Jiuan glanced at the other disciples who were still in the hall, his eyes showing a bit of indifference and alienation.

She spoke slowly, her voice cold and calm.

"Now that the elders and the head of the family have left, everyone should go home. Everyone has worked hard these past few days, so go back and have a good rest."

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed and saluted, with a hint of respect in their voices.

"Yes, Miss Five."

After the others had left, Liuzhu and Liuying spoke indignantly.

"The master's partiality is too obvious. The master has suffered such a great injustice, but he doesn't even intend to punish the second young master. If it weren't for Young Master Lei's argument, how much more injustice would the master have suffered!"

There was some excitement in Liu Zhu's words. She clenched her fists and felt sorry for Ling Jiuan.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan just smiled faintly.

"Okay, don't worry about these things, let's go back. We haven't been here for the past few days, and we don't know how the little guy Lingling is doing!"

There was a hint of tenderness and doting in her words, and her heart softened when she thought of the little guy.

Unexpectedly, in her previous life, she didn't understand what those people who kept pets were thinking.

Now that I have traveled here, I understand it.

Liu Zhu couldn't help laughing when he heard that.

"That little fox is so lazy, he must be still sleeping in!"

Although Lingling is weak, she is very beautiful.

With fiery red fur and extremely beautiful eyes, it is one of the best spirit beasts.

Ling Jiuan also laughed.

She didn't know why Lingling was always so sleepy.

Lei Tingyi, who was standing by, looked at her with a serious tone.

"Go back quickly, there is a bloody smell in Jiu'an Hall."

If his guess was correct, the little guy was probably in danger of death.

Upon hearing this, Jiuan's face changed drastically and he immediately ran towards Jiuan Hall.
