After coming out of the teahouse, He Lian'er took the initiative to climb onto Zhao Yun's arm. They looked so intimate that if you looked from a distance, someone who didn't know them would have thought they had a very good relationship.

Zhao Yun was startled by He Lian'er's sudden action, and her face froze.

However, thinking of the way many female disciples in the sect get along with each other, she forced herself to remain calm and forced a smile.

"Junior Sister Lian'er, do you want to buy anything else? Should we go to a clothing store or a jewelry store?" She asked intimately, imitating other women.

Don’t girls all like these?

Upon hearing this, He Lian'er quickly withdrew her hand and said awkwardly, "No need, Senior Sister Zhao, I have something else to go back to the sect for. If you still want to buy something, go by yourself."

She had to go back to her master to discuss serious matters and not waste time on such meaningless matters.

Also, she had treated the people of Wan Jing Zong like that in front of so many people. Someone would definitely go back and complain, so she had to go back and explain everything as soon as possible.

Zhao Yun felt her arm empty, and when she lowered her head, she saw He Lian'er had withdrawn her hand, and her heart skipped a beat.

He quickly changed his tone and said, "Forget it. Since Junior Sister Lian'er isn't going, then I won't go either. Anyway, I've already bought everything I wanted to buy. I'll go back with you."

He Lian'er naturally had no objection, and went back chatting and laughing with Zhao Yun.

Along the way, Zhao Yun found various topics to chat with He Lian'er, for fear that the awkward scene in the teahouse would happen again.

"By the way, Junior Sister Lian'er, I heard that you have several brothers. How come I didn't hear them come to see you during your retreat?"

He Lian'er's face changed and soon became gloomy.

She was a little angry that Zhao Yun asked about her family affairs, but at the same time she was even angrier because, during the ten years when she was punished by her master to go to the back mountain to reflect on her mistakes, except for her father and mother who came to visit her, her second and third brothers had never shown up.

Her relationship with her third brother He Xingwen had become strained ten years ago, so it was understandable that he didn't come to see her, but her second brother obviously loved her the most, so why hadn't he ever come to see her?

Did the third brother say something to him?

Thinking of this, hatred flashed in He Lian'er's eyes.

Although it was only a fleeting hatred, Zhao Yun still caught it.

She was shocked and wondered who He Lian'er had a feud with again.

The two of them had their own thoughts and were silent all the way. Soon they arrived at the foot of the Mingjian Sect's mountain.

"He Lian'er!" A clear and melodious male voice sounded above their heads, and the two of them looked up at the same time towards the source of the voice.

I saw a man in his early twenties standing in front of the mountain gate, holding a cloth bag in his hand, and looking at He Lian'er.

He Lian'er was stunned and looked at the man in front of her for a long time with confusion in her eyes.

He Xingwen's face darkened in annoyance: "He Lian'er, hurry up, this is something my parents asked me to get for you, take it and hurry up the mountain."

He Lian'er looked at the man's gloomy face and somewhat familiar facial features, and it took her a long time to recognize him.

"Third brother! Are you the third brother?"

Zhao Yun was also stunned.

She didn't expect to see her third brother in this situation.

For ten years, she had always missed her family, but was afraid that they would become suspicious of her current self, so she forced herself to forget about them and practiced tirelessly every day.

The moment he recognized He Xingwen, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

But in order to avoid He Lian'er's suspicion, she quickly turned her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, then pretended to be envious and said: "Oh, look at what I said, I just mentioned your brother, and now you are watching. It seems that your third brother loves you very much. He came to see you as soon as you left the back mountain."

He Lian'er didn't say anything when she heard this.

He Xingwen wouldn't be so kind. He probably came here to give me something because his parents urged him to do so.

He Xingwen glanced at Zhao Yun, walked quickly to He Lian'er, stuffed the thing into her arms, and was about to leave.

"Hey, you are Junior Sister Lian'er's third brother, right? You two siblings finally get to meet, why don't you chat more? Come on, I'll take you up the mountain. Junior Sister Lian'er has suffered so much these years, you should spend more time with her."

Having said that, Zhao Yun grabbed He Xingwen's arm and pulled him into the mountain gate without saying a word.

Ten years had passed, and he touched his third brother's body again. He felt so excited that he didn't even notice that He Xingwen frowned because of the pain from his grip.

He Lian'er was just about to say that her third brother would not be willing to go up, but unexpectedly, the two of them had already walked ahead of her.

She had no choice but to follow them with the cloth bag in her arms, with her head down and sulking.

Zhao Yun pulled He Xingwen aside and asked him questions as they walked.

"I heard that you loved Junior Sister Lian'er very much in the past, why haven't you come to see her in all these years?"

"Also, your second brother doesn't seem to be here either. Did something happen to him?"

He Xingwen listened to the chattering sounds in his ears and his face gradually darkened.

Especially when he looked at the little hand on his arm, he felt annoyed: "Senior sister, can you let me go first? Although we are both cultivators, we still need to be careful about the difference between men and women."

Only then did Zhao Yun realize that she was so excited that she forgot her identity.

She let go of his hand awkwardly, and said sheepishly: "I...I didn't mean it. I just felt that I had a good relationship with Junior Sister Lian'er, and I got along well with her family, so..."

"Please don't mind it. I will pay attention next time."

He Xingwen glanced at her and said nothing more.

He turned around and looked at He Lian'er who was following him with her head down, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother went out to gain experience a few years ago, and he has not been in the sect in recent years, so he has not come to see you, don't think too much."

Originally He Xingwen didn't want to explain, but thinking that his sister was narrow-minded and would tend to think wrongly about many things, he opened his mouth to explain on behalf of his second brother, so that she would not hate him too.

He Lian'er heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that her second brother had gone out to gain experience.

Fortunately, it was not because my second brother believed what my third brother said that he was angry and didn’t come to see me.

He Xingwen was about to turn around and go down the mountain after he finished speaking, but he suddenly remembered something and paused.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to remind you of in advance. Rong'er is invited to Lingyun Sect next month. If you have nothing to do, don't mess with her."

He Lian'er looked up suddenly when she heard this: "Why did she go to Lingyun Sect?"

"This has nothing to do with you. Just remember not to provoke Rong'er, otherwise I, as your brother, will not let you go."

After saying that, He Xingwen strode down the mountain without even a single unnecessary expression.

He Lian'er looked at He Xingwen's distant back as he left, she gritted her teeth in hatred, her eyes full of resentment.

Zhao Yun's mind was still reverberating with He Xingwen's words. Looking at He Lian'er's profile, she slowly recalled the past...
