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

Chapter 128 The middle stage of golden elixir

Everything seemed to have returned to calm. The wild beasts stopped attacking the city, and Spark City looked particularly peaceful under the night sky.

The next day, as the morning light broke, everyone was preparing to retreat back to the city, and this sudden crisis ended.

Ling Jiuze woke up from his deep sleep, and a night's rest restored his consciousness.

He walked out of the tent to greet the first rays of sunshine in the morning, but unexpectedly found that other disciples were pointing and talking at him.

"Oh my god, your second son is such a beast in human form!"

A disciple whispered, his eyes full of shock and disdain.

"Yes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. Now I understand this saying."

Another disciple echoed, shaking his head and sighing.

"Tsk, he looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel..."

A female disciple also joined the discussion, her tone even more indignant.

……

Ling Jiuze's face turned pale instantly when he heard these harsh comments.

He was stunned, and an indescribable panic and confusion surged in his heart.

How is this going?

How come his reputation and his image suddenly collapsed?

Seeing this, the subordinates nearby quickly spoke in a low voice.

"Second Young Master, for some reason yesterday you actually said in public that you wanted to kill the Fifth Young Lady, and you even nearly offended the Young Master."

He also felt that something was wrong with the Second Young Master yesterday, but he couldn't laugh at the specific reason.

Hearing this, Jiuze froze, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

what?

Was the reputation he worked so hard to build destroyed just like that?

He saw the reputation he had carefully built collapse into ruins in an instant.

Not far away, Wen Renyi, the young master of the Wen family, walked towards them. He was wearing luxurious brocade clothes, walking steadily, with a hint of contempt on his face.

Seeing Ling Jiuze, Wen Renyi's mouth curled up in a mocking arc.

"Second Master Ling, if you don't like Ling Jiuan, just say it directly. Why bother pretending?"

Wen Renyi's voice was cold and sharp, and his words were merciless.

"It's disgusting to see him pretending to be a good person while trying to kill her."

This made Jiuze's face even uglier. He gritted his teeth and tried to explain himself.

"You...please listen to my explanation. I am not like that..."

This young master of the Wen family is not the young master of the Wen family who used the Fire Cloud Pill before, nor is he Wen Cheng and Wen Lan later. His position as the young master is secure.

It would not do me any good to be on bad terms with him.

However, his voice seemed so pale and powerless amid the discussions of the crowd and Wen Renyi's contempt.

He knew that his reputation had plummeted and could never be restored.

At this moment, he felt unprecedented despair and frustration.

At this moment, Ling Jiuan also slowly walked out of the tent. The morning light shone on her body, giving her a soft golden edge.

Seeing her, Jiuze could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He strode over and questioned her harshly.

"Ling Jiuan, what did you do? Why did I become like this?"

Apart from Ling Jiuan, he couldn't think of anyone else who would resort to trickery against him.

Ling Jiuan knew clearly that Ling Jiuze was probably hit hard by public opinion because of yesterday's incident.

But she would never admit that she had used some tricks to make him tell the truth.

She looked at Ling Jiuze innocently.

"Brother, what did you say? What did I do to make you so angry?"

Mrs. Lan's methods are sometimes really useful.

Ling Jiuze's face looked ugly, like the sky before a storm. A ball of spiritual power suddenly condensed in his hand and attacked Ling Jiuan with a whistling sound.

He demanded again, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

"I said, what did you do?"

Ling Jiuan subconsciously blocked it, but unexpectedly discovered that Ling Jiuze's strength had improved by leaps and bounds compared to before.

She was startled, but her movements were a beat too slow, and she failed to block the attack and was knocked to the ground.

Her eyes were full of astonishment and she looked at Ling Jiuze in disbelief.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ling Jiuze is now in the middle stage of the Golden Core?

In just a few days, he went from the second level of foundation building to the middle level of golden elixir.

How can it be?

Ling Jiuze stood where he was, looking at Ling Jiuan coldly, with no expression on his face.

Ling Jiuan spoke slowly, his voice as cold as a knife.

"I said, I don't know. But can you and Ling Jiuxi change your habit of fighting whenever you disagree with each other? We are brother and sister!"

Ling Jiuan got up from the ground, brushed off the dust on her body, and her eyes gradually became cold.

"Ling Jiuan, you know what you did. Even if I kill you, it won't be unfair to you."

She looked at Ling Jiuze, and there was no warmth in her voice.

"Brother, you are wrong. Although we are siblings, it does not mean that we can tolerate each other without limits. You know what you have done. If you attack me for no reason like this again, don't blame me for being rude."

Seeing that Ling Jiuan refused to admit it, Ling Jiuze became furious and was about to attack again.

However, the next moment, a heavy pressure came down like a mountain, and he felt his knees go weak and he fell to the ground involuntarily.

Lei Tingyi appeared behind Ling Jiuan like a ghost. He glanced at Ling Jiuze coldly, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty.

"Second Master Ling, I advise you to think twice before you act."

In just a few days, he leaped from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of golden elixir.

interesting.

Ling Jiuze subconsciously wanted to resist, but Lei Tingyi just waved his hand lightly and released an even more powerful pressure again.

Under this pressure, Jiuze felt as if he was being pressed down by an invisible mountain and was completely unable to move.

His face was filled with humiliation and unwillingness, but in the face of this irresistible force, he could only grit his teeth and endure it silently.

Lei Tingyi's gaze fell on the faint lines on Ling Jiuze's neck, and his expression became even more mysterious.

"Second Master Ling, as long as I am here, you can't touch Ling Jiuan."

Ling Jiuze's eyes were filled with humiliation and anger. He stared at Lei Tingyi, trying to see through him with his eyes.

However, under Lei Tingyi's mountain-like pressure, he could only lower his head helplessly and swallow all the humiliation and anger back into his stomach.

Lei Tingyi glanced at Ling Jiuan. Her expression was calm and indifferent, as if nothing that had just happened had happened.

He spoke calmly.

"Get ready, get ready, go back!"

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Ling Jiuze and his cronies there.

At this moment, Lei Tingyi was basically certain in his heart that there must be some unknown relationship between that group of demon cultivators and Ling Jiuze.

He narrowed his eyes, and an inexplicable sense of doubt and vigilance surged in his heart.

It seems that the second son of the Ling family is not as simple as he seems...
