I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

He Tianhong and He Lian'er had just walked to the foot of the mountain, but before they entered the town, He Tianhong stopped.

"Second brother, what's wrong?"

"Someone is following us." He Tianhong said in a low voice.

He Lian'er looked back after hearing this, but she didn't see any trace of other people. She looked puzzled and asked, "Where are they?"

He Tianhong glanced behind him, then patted He Lian'er on the shoulder: "Lian'er, wait for me here first, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he leaped and flew back the way they came.

He Lian'er didn't care and just found a stone on the roadside and sat down.

He Tianhong had noticed someone behind him just now, but at first he just thought that the other person was just traveling the same way with them by chance.

But just now he deliberately found a small road and turned in. Unexpectedly, the people behind him followed him. Only then did he realize that those people were following them.

However, the road they took down the mountain only led to Lingyun Sect, so he guessed that the people following them were all fellow disciples.

So he didn't want to make it public and went back to find out the truth.

He Tianhong suddenly turned back, and the two disciples following behind them were really scared. When they were about to turn around and run away, they were discovered by He Tianhong.

"Stop!" He Tianhong held a long stick in his hand and pressed it against the chest of one of the disciples.

"He...Senior Brother He..." The man had no choice but to turn around slowly.

"Why are it you?" He Tianhong looked at the people in front of him with surprise in his eyes.

The brothers Song Ming and Song Lang looked at He Tianhong with embarrassment and lowered their heads in shame.

"Tell me, who told you to follow me?" He Tianhong's face darkened.

"Yes...it's Senior Sister Yan." Song Lang spoke first.

"Song Lang, shut up!" It was too late for Song Ming to stop him, and he glared at Song Lang fiercely.

"Senior Sister Yan? Yan Mei?" He Tianhong frowned slightly.

He has been out on missions over the years and has rarely had contact with the disciples in the sect, let alone made enemies. Why would she send someone to follow him?

"You forgot that she entered the sect at the same time as you, and she even confessed her love to you in public before."

Seeing a puzzled look on He Tianhong's face, Song Lang hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, He Tianhong's face darkened even more. He then remembered Yan Mei whom he had just met at the sect gate. A hint of disgust flashed across his eyes: "Why did she let you follow me? I'm not familiar with her."

Song Ming is tongue-tied and doesn't know how to explain.

Seeing this, Song Lang spoke again: "Brother He, although Sister Yan was rejected by you, she has always been in love with you all these years. Just now, I saw a young woman with you, and I felt unwilling, so I asked my two brothers to follow you to investigate your whereabouts and find out the identity of that person."

"Humph, since when did Yan Mei take charge of He Tianhong's affairs? For the sake of being fellow disciples, I will spare you today. You can go back now."

After saying that, He Tianhong flicked his sleeves, put away the long stick in his hand, turned around and walked back the way he came.

Seeing this, the brothers Song Ming and Song Lang did not dare to follow, but they also did not dare to go back and report in disgrace. They were in a dilemma for a while.

After He Tianhong walked away, Song Lang looked at Song Ming and asked, "What should we do now?"

"If we go back like this, Senior Sister Yan will definitely not let us off. When Senior Sister Yan goes out on missions in the future, I'm afraid she won't be willing to take us brothers with her. Otherwise, we can act according to the circumstances and find that woman directly when Senior Brother He is away, and threaten her to make her leave Senior Brother He on her own initiative."

Song Lang thought about it and nodded: "Okay, let's do it."

He Tianhong walked back, looked at He Lian'er who was sitting on the boulder, smiled and waved at her: "Let's go."

"Brother, have you found the people who followed us? Why did they follow us? Do they have a grudge against you? Did you teach them a lesson?"

"No. It's just that the investigation was wrong. They are just two people traveling together."

He Tianhong didn't want to explain too much, so he smiled and evaded the question.

He Lian'er's eyes flickered, and she smiled and changed the subject: "That's good, then we have to go quickly. I heard that there will be a curfew in this town at night. If we go too late, we won't be able to go shopping."

While speaking, He Lian'er grabbed He Tianhong's arm and walked forward.

He Tianhong looked at the little girl in front of him with a friendly smile: "Lian'er, you still love the hustle and bustle."

Thinking back to his childhood, when he was still young, he would stay for a few more days every time he returned home. When he had nothing to do, he would go down the mountain with his elder brother and take He Lian'er to the town to buy all kinds of gadgets.

At that time, He Lian'er was very cute and called them "brother" sweetly. Both of them competed to buy things for her.

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed. The eldest brother was gone, Lian'er had grown into a graceful young lady, and everything had changed.

The two soon entered the city.

As soon as He Tianhong came up, he asked He Lian'er where she wanted to go. He Lian'er smiled and pointed to a rune shop not far away: "Second brother, I'd better accompany you to do business first. After you sell the talismans, you will have more spirit stones to buy me good things."

"Girl, do you look down on my second brother? Do you think my second brother doesn't have enough spiritual stones to spend on you?"

"No way, my second brother is the best. But if I can sell more spells for you, we will have more money. I'm going to make my second brother bleed a lot today, so don't feel bad later."

"Haha, you. Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go sell the talismans on me first. You come with me."

"Brother, go by yourself. I want to take a look around here first."

As she spoke, He Lian'er pointed to several small stalls in front of the rune shop, all of which sold small items such as accessories and sachets that girls liked.

He Tianhong took a look and nodded: "Okay, you wait here for me, I'll be back soon."

When He Tianhong walked into the rune shop, He Lian'er put away the smile on her face.

With a cold face, she walked to the nearest stall selling rouge, pretending to check the rouge, but in fact she was secretly observing two sneaky figures not far behind her.

Although she did not follow her second brother back to check on the people who were following them, she guessed from their aura and their stealthy behavior that these two were the ones who followed them.

As soon as He Lian'er stood in front of the stall, she noticed two people approaching her not far behind her.

She felt something in her heart and looked around, then walked towards a secluded alley not far away.

Seeing this, the brothers Song Ming and Song Lang behind him were very happy.

They were just about to take the man to a less crowded place to talk, but unexpectedly the man took the initiative to walk into the alley, saving them a lot of trouble.

The two followed He Lian'er into the dark alley.

They were about to yell at He Lian'er to stop, but she stopped early and slowly turned around to look at them.

"Why are you following me?" He Lian'er asked calmly.
