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

Song Lang took a step forward, his eyes sharp and direct. His voice was not loud, but it carried unquestionable authority: "First, tell me who you are? Why are you so close to Senior Brother He?"

He Lian'er's eyes flickered when she heard this, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She seemed to have already seen through the two men's intentions and sneered in her heart.

Recalling the female disciple with a complicated expression whom she met by chance at the mountain gate, she became more certain of her guess.

So, she opened her red lips slightly, with a tone of disdain and determination: "Oh, I understand, it turned out that the senior sister I met in front of the mountain gate sent you here, right? If she really wanted to, she should come and talk to me in person instead of doing these little tricks behind my back. Go back and tell her, Brother Hong, his heart only belongs to me, He Lian'er. If she knows what's good for her, she should retreat when she sees difficulty and stop trying to get in between us."

After saying this, He Lian'er turned around and was about to leave, leaving behind a resolute and proud back.

When Song Lang and Song Ming heard what He Lian'er said, their faces instantly became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from them.

They exchanged glances, quickened their pace tacitly, and approached quickly from the left and right, blocking He Lian'er's way.

"Miss, please stay. We have no ill intentions, but there are some issues that need to be clarified. I hope you can listen patiently." Song Lang tried his best to make his tone sound calm and sincere, but the determination in his eyes could not be ignored.

He Lian'er stopped and glanced at the two of them coldly, with an inviolable light flashing in her clear eyes.

She sighed softly, and the slightly provocative smile on her lips gradually faded. "It seems that you really don't intend to let me leave easily. However, I am not someone who can be manipulated by others. If you think you can threaten me with this, you are very wrong."

Having said this, He Lian'er paused deliberately, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.

"As for Brother Hong, if he knew that someone was doing something behind my back, especially that senior sister he might have had a crush on, how do you think he would feel? Would he think that I was being unreasonable, or would he cherish our friendship even more and become alienated from that senior sister?"

Song Lang and Song Ming's faces changed when they heard this.

They obviously did not expect He Lian'er to be so direct and cleverly use Senior Brother He's feelings for her as a bargaining chip.

For a moment, the two fell into silence, at a dilemma.

They knew that if they continued to pester her, it would probably backfire and greatly reduce Senior Brother He's impression of the female disciple.

Finally, Song Lang broke the silence first. He took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound calmer.

"Miss, we don't mean to embarrass you. It's just that there are some things that need to be clarified. Since you mentioned Brother He, we should be more cautious so as not to cause him unnecessary trouble. How about we try another way to communicate?"

He Lian'er raised her eyebrows slightly, seeming to be surprised by Song Lang's proposal, but then nodded. "Okay, as long as you are not here to cause trouble, I am willing to have a good talk with you."

As she spoke, she slightly turned aside, indicating that they could let her pass, but at the same time she also expressed her willingness to continue the conversation.

In the darkness that the two of them couldn't see, a hint of murderous intent flashed across her eyes.

Song Ming and Song Lang behind her relied on their higher cultivation level than the woman in front of them, and since there were two of them, they did not set up defenses.

Just as they followed He Lian'er towards the entrance of the alley, they suddenly felt a strange breath coming towards them, and then the two of them lost consciousness and lay on the ground.

He Lian'er looked at the two people who had lost consciousness on the ground and revealed a hint of sarcasm: "With your strength, you still want to negotiate with me. You are really stupid."

After saying that, she raised her hand and put the two of them into the space of her jade pendant.

These two people have a faint trace of ice spiritual roots, which can help her practice and improve her cultivation.

After doing all this, He Lian'er walked out of the alley as if nothing had happened, and went to the roadside stall to look around.

Not long after, He Tianhong walked out of the rune shop. When he looked up, he saw He Lian'er standing not far from the door. He smiled and waved at her: "Lian'er!"

He Lian'er came up to him with a happy look on her face, and took him for a walk on the street with a smile.

"Lian'er, have you seen anything you like? Tell your second brother and he will buy it for you."

"Second brother, you are so kind to Lian'er. Lian'er wants to eat Lingshizhai's cakes and pastries. Please accompany me to buy some."

He Tianhong agreed with a smile, but he felt that it was not enough. He directly stuffed the tens of thousands of intermediate spirit stones he had just exchanged for the talisman into He Lian'er's hands: "Lian'er, my second brother has not visited you in these years. These are just compensation for you. You must accept them."

"Second brother, these... these are too many, I can't accept them." He Lian'er declined.

"Don't refuse. These are nothing to worry about. Second brother has the ability to draw talismans. It's easy to get the spirit stones if you want. Just keep them. You are a disciple of Mingjian Sect. Many resources require spirit stones. If you don't have enough, come back and talk to second brother."

He Lian'er pretended to refuse and then accepted it.

She smiled and hugged He Tianhong's arm, saying coquettishly: "Second brother, if you love me, please draw some practical talismans for me, such as blasting talismans, acceleration talismans, wind talismans, etc., which can help me escape if I encounter danger."

When He Tianhong heard this, he was annoyed: "Hey, Lian'er, why didn't you tell me earlier? Look at my brain. I only want to exchange the talisman for spirit stones."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to walk back the way he came.

"Second brother, where are you going?" He Lian'er quickly grabbed him and asked.

"I'm going to get back the talisman I just sold."

"Second brother, you have sold all your things to others, so why should you ask for them back? Besides, you gave me all the spiritual stones, do you want to take them back and redeem those talismans?"

He Tianhong's expression was grim: "But..."

"Forget it. If you feel guilty, then accompany me to buy more tools for drawing talismans. Then you can draw a few more powerful talismans for me yourself."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." He Tianhong scratched He Lian'er's nose and said with eyes full of doting.

They were going to buy talisman paper now. He wanted to draw some better quality talismans for his sister, which would be several times better than the ones he had just sold.

He Lian'er felt very satisfied seeing that her second brother still doted on her so much.

This is the feeling, the feeling of being pampered, it is so enjoyable. A happy smile appeared on her face.

Now that she had the talisman given to her by her second brother, she wouldn't have to worry too much even if she faced Zhao Yun and her gang alone.
