He Tianhong felt heartbroken when he saw his sister, whom he had loved to the core since childhood, crying so sadly.

"Lian'er, stop crying. Go back with your second brother first and tell me the details slowly."

The brother and sister walked towards He Tianhong's residence on the main peak amid the astonished eyes of many disciples of Lingyun Sect.

Many new disciples on the road looked at the two people walking by with surprise and curiosity in their eyes.

"Hey, do you recognize the two people who just walked by?"

The disciple beside him shook his head blankly: "I don't know him. But the man is wearing the uniform of our Lingyun Sect's inner disciples. He should be the favorite disciple of some elder."

At this time, a male disciple passed by on the side of the road and also looked at He Tianhong and his sister. He said with envy: "This senior brother is really lucky to have found such a beautiful Taoist partner. Sigh, it's really enviable."

As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard a woman's scolding voice coming from the side: "Are you blind? Which eye can see that the woman is Brother He's Taoist partner! If you keep talking nonsense, I will cut off your tongue!"

Upon hearing this, several people turned around suddenly and saw Senior Sister Yan walking towards them angrily. They were so scared that they all hid back, took a few steps back and ran away.

Yan Mei looked at the disciples who were fleeing in panic, the anger still in her eyes. She turned around and looked at He Tianhong and the other person who had already walked away.

Her gaze fell on He Tianhong's tall and majestic back, her eyes full of admiration.

But when it moved to the young woman next to him, it suddenly turned cold, like a poisonous snake lurking in the darkness.

"I don't care where you came from, you vixen. If you want to snatch Senior Brother He from me, just prepare to be torn into pieces by me." After saying that, she followed the two of them unwillingly, wanting to see where they were going.

He Tianhong, who was walking in front, only had his sister He Lian'er in his eyes and heart at this time, and did not notice that someone was following them.

He Lian'er cried all the way, sobbing as she spoke, until her eyes turned red from crying. Finally, she threw herself directly into He Tianhong's arms.

Seeing this scene, Yan Mei hated that vixen to the core.

Just as she was about to rush over and separate the two, someone suddenly called out from behind: "Senior Sister Yan, Master is looking for you."

Yan Mei turned around and took a look, then looked at He Tianhong and the woman in his arms from a distance. She was anxious but helpless, so she could only follow her junior brother behind her and leave.

Here, He Tianhong coaxed He Lian'er back to his own courtyard. As soon as they entered the front hall, He Lian'er cried even more sadly, sobbing and showing the wounds on her arms: "Second brother, you must make the decision for me. Look, these injuries were caused by those people..."

He Tianhong walked up to He Lian'er angrily, grabbed her arm, looked her up and down, and then held her in his arms with heartache.

"Lian'er, you have suffered."

He Lian'er was in tears as she cried about how the people He Rong'er had found were hunting her down and how vicious they were.

He Tianhong became angrier as he listened. He clenched his fists and veins bulged.

"This He Rong'er is simply insane! She killed my eldest brother, and now she wants to kill you. This is simply unforgivable!"

He Lian'er took the opportunity to exaggerate and described He Rong'er as an unforgivable criminal.

"Brother, I really don't know how I offended my sister. I have been in seclusion in the sect for ten years. When I came out and had no time to visit my father and mother, my sister bewitched a few disciples of Mingjian Sect and tried to harm me while I was on a mission with them."

He Tianhong was furious when he heard this.

"This bitch! She is worse than a beast. She even doesn't spare her blood relatives."

He Lian'er continued to cry, and He Tianhong felt distressed and his hatred for He Rong'er grew stronger.

"Lian'er, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you. I won't let that bitch get away with it!"

He Lian'er nodded while crying, and only fell asleep in He Tianhong's arms half an hour later when she was tired of crying.

He Tianhong looked at He Lian'er's tear-stained face in his arms, and helped her to the guest room in the backyard with heartache.

After settling He Lian'er, He Tianhong set up a barrier outside the yard before leaving it with peace of mind.

When the people walked away and the footsteps could no longer be heard, He Lian'er, who was lying in the guest room, suddenly opened her eyes. There was no trace of cowardice and grievance in her eyes, only the pride of having succeeded in her evil plan.

"He Tianhong, you are really easy to deceive."

"He Rong'er, my second brother is helping me, so I'll see what you're going to do this time!"

An hour later, He Tianhong walked into the yard with a smile on his face, holding a piece of osmanthus cake he bought from the town at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, He Lian'er was sitting in the yard, staring at the blue sky in a daze.

"Lian'er, you're awake!"

As soon as He Tianhong entered the yard, he saw He Lian'er and shouted at her with a smile.

Hearing the voice, He Lian'er turned her head to look at the gate of the yard, then stood up and rushed over with a look of joy: "Second brother, where have you been? I woke up and didn't see you, so I thought you didn't want me anymore."

As she spoke, she began to feel aggrieved again, and tears fell like crazy.

He Tianhong looked at He Lian'er crying again, and comforted her distressedly: "Okay, Lian'er, don't cry. It won't look good if you cry again. Look what your second brother bought for you?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand, revealing an oil-paper bag in his hand.

He Lian'er wiped her tears and looked at the thing in his hand, then her eyes lit up: "Second brother, you went to Lingshizhai!"

The oil paper bag had the Lingshizhai logo clearly printed on it. She smiled with her eyes curved and snatched the oil paper bag from He Tianhong's hand.

As the paper packages were opened layer by layer, the exquisite sweet-scented osmanthus cakes were revealed.

"It's my favorite osmanthus cake! Thank you, second brother. You still love Lian'er the most."

He Tianhong looked at He Lian'er and saw that she was still grinning from ear to ear like when she saw something delicious, and a doting smile appeared on his face.

"You have loved eating his sweet-scented osmanthus cake since you were a child. My brother and I would bring you a portion every time we went home. Do you still remember it?"

"Naturally remember."

He Lian'er nodded in response while eating.

When He Tianhong said this, he couldn't help but feel sad, and his face darkened: "Oh, it would be great if Big Brother was still alive."

He Lian'er stopped what she was doing and said with a sad face, "Second brother, I know you miss your eldest brother, but the dead cannot be resurrected, so don't be sad. If he knew that you have become the most outstanding disciple of Lingyun Sect, he would definitely be happy for you."

He Tianhong smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Don't worry, I will never let go of the murderer who killed my eldest brother. Especially since she attacked you again this time, I will definitely make her come to Lingyun Sect and she will never have a chance to return alive!"

A smile flashed in He Lian'er's eyes.

"Brother, I don't dare to go back to Mingjian Sect now. Otherwise, you can take me in for a few days. When my injuries are healed, I will leave."

"Lian'er, just rest assured and stay here as long as you want. As long as my second brother is here, no one can hurt you."
