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

Chapter 130 Whipping

Seeing this, Ling Jiuan spoke in a serious tone with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Do you understand? The twists and turns here can't be seen through at a glance."

Her words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake. For a moment, all the disciples started talking and the scene became very lively.

"The Patriarch is indeed... somewhat partial to the Second Young Master."

A disciple whispered, his eyes full of confusion and doubt.

"Although the Second Young Master is usually modest and elegant, he really wanted to kill the Fifth Young Lady yesterday!"

Another disciple interjected, his tone filled with a hint of indignation and dissatisfaction.

"Hey, didn't you hear him mention the young master? If he hadn't been knocked unconscious, he would have said he wanted to kill the young master!"

A female disciple interrupted, her voice filled with fear and worry.

"Who says it's not true? Although the Second Young Master is excellent, he is far inferior to the Young Master!"

An older disciple sighed, his eyes revealing a bit of admiration and regret for the young master.

Obviously, Ling Jiucheng is the future head of the family in everyone's eyes and is irreplaceable.

……

Listening to everyone talking, Jiuze's face turned pale. He clenched his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and dug his nails deeply into his palms.

However, he did not dare to lose his temper and could only suppress the anger and resentment in his heart.

Ling Changfeng subconsciously clenched his fists.

"Ling Jiuze killed his brothers and sisters, which is an unforgivable crime. However, considering that it was his first offense and he had done a great job in resisting the wild beasts, he will be given thirty lashes and confined to his house for one month to atone for his crime."

If we don’t punish him now, this matter will become a big deal and it will be difficult to resolve.

Hearing this, Madam Lan was visibly relieved.

She knew in her heart that Ling Changfeng was now on the side of her and her son.

She glanced at Ling Changfeng, then hurried to Ling Jiuze and helped him stand up.

Her eyes were full of concern and worry.

Child, be patient, everything will pass.

Soon, Ling Jiuan will pay the price!

Ling Jiuze stood up with the help of Madam Lan, his eyes flashing with humiliation and unwillingness.

He knew that he had lost this time, miserably.

But it's just this time!

Ling Jiuan's expression was indifferent, like a pool of deep autumn water, and he stood there without saying a word.

Her eyes swept lightly over the crowd, but her heart was like a mirror, clearly reflecting the insignificance of this punishment.

However, the corners of her mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc, and she knew that her goal had been achieved.

Continuing to make a fuss will do you no good and will only make you appear too ostentatious.

After talking about Ling Jiuze's punishment, Ling Changfeng turned his attention to Ling Jiuan.

"Jiu'an did a great job this time. After discussing with the elders, I decided to give her a token of the elders' successor. Do you have any objection?"

Upon hearing this, everyone responded in unison, and their voices echoed throughout the hall.

"Master, no objection."

If it were in the past, they would not be willing to do so.

But on the battlefield, Ling Jiuan fought against a hundred people alone and intimidated everyone.

Then, Ling Changfeng handed an exquisite token to Ling Jiuan.

"From now on, you are no longer an ordinary disciple of the Ling family. Apart from the head of the family, the elders and your eldest brother, you are the number one."

This token is also to appease Ling Jiuan.

Ling Jiuan took the token.

Then she bowed slightly and saluted, her voice clear and pleasant.

"Thank you, father, and thank you, elders."

It's really unfair to give someone a sweet date after being slapped in the face.

It’s a benefit that comes to your doorstep, so don’t miss it.

Not far away, Ling Jiuze was lying on a stool, and the servants were preparing to whip him.

His eyes were full of humiliation and unwillingness, like a trapped beast, unable to struggle.

Seeing this, Lei Tingyi on the side spoke lightly.

"and many more.

If those servants take action, Ling Jiuze will be alive and kicking in less than two days.

Ling Changfeng was stunned. He looked at Lei Tingyi with some surprise, with a hint of doubt in his voice.

"What instructions do you have, Master Lei?"

Lei Tingyi pointed at Jiuze and gave him the command.

"I'll take his punishment."

Mrs. Lan's face changed drastically when she saw this.

She had arranged for people to show mercy to Ling Jiuze's men in advance. If Lei Tingyi intervened, wouldn't all the efforts be wasted?

Just as she was about to beg for mercy, Ling Jiuan just smiled calmly.

She spoke softly, with a hint of laziness and casualness in her voice.

"Father, I think this is a good idea. Young Master Lei personally carries out the punishment, which also makes our family more fair and strict. What do you think, father?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Changfeng could only nod his head.

He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of heaviness.

"In this case, I'll trouble Young Master Lei."

Lei Tingyi chuckled, and there was a hint of imperceptible coldness in that smile.

"No trouble."

Then, he took a step forward and slowly walked towards Ling Jiuze.

If it was really Ling Jiuze who provided the elixir to the evil cultivator, it would be right for me to kill him.

He picked up the whip, and the whip drew a sharp arc in the air, then fell down, accompanied by a scream, leaving a shocking scar on Jiuze's body.

Lei Tingyi used all his strength and was merciless with every whip.

Everyone present looked at each other, but no one dared to stop it.

They all knew that Lei Tingyi's identity and strength should not be underestimated, not to mention that he was currently executing the orders of the head of the family.

However, Ling Jiuze fainted halfway through the fight. His body slumped limply on the stool, his face as pale as paper, and his breath barely catching.

Mrs. Lan felt distressed when she saw this. She quickly knelt on the ground, tightly grasping the corner of Lei Tingyi's clothes with both hands, and her voice was filled with tears.

"Master Lei, please show mercy! Jiuze has realized his mistake, please forgive him this time!"

Damn it, Lei Tingyi was planning to take her son's life!

However, Lei Tingyi just smiled coldly. He shook off Madam Lan's hand and continued to swing the whip.

"Compared to Ling Jiuan's life and death, this injury is nothing."

Madam Lan had an unpleasant look on her face, but she could do nothing to Lei Tingyi.

She could only watch her son suffer like this, feeling helpless.

Ling Changfeng was afraid of offending Lei Tingyi, so he had to glance at the servants around him and shouted sternly.

"Why don't you help the lady down quickly?"

To offend Lei Tingyi is to offend Lei Xiaozong.

The entire Ling family is no match for the Lei Xiao Sect.

Upon hearing this, the servants hurried forward to help Madam Lan up, and hurriedly took her out of the hall.

Lei Tingyi glanced coldly at Ling Jiuze lying on the ground, then threw the whip aside.

"Master Ling, sometimes, you have to treat everyone equally! Moreover, there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. You are treating Ling Jiuan, your legitimate daughter, too badly."
