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

"You must be jealous of the love Lian'er receives, right? Yes, you must be. You just can't stand to see our Lian'er doing well, so you spread rumors everywhere and slander my Lian'er!" Xi Ruxin shouted to the crowd.

He Ronger, standing at the back of the crowd, had a calm and deep gaze, as if it could penetrate the chaos before her eyes and see straight into the indifference in the deepest part of her heart.

She listened to He Lian'er's words full of pleading and excuses, and her parents' heartbroken yet resolute verdict that followed, but not a ripple formed in her heart.

To her, those words were more like distant and vague echoes that could no longer touch her heart that had experienced so much.

In her previous life, she had regarded family affection as the most precious wealth in her life, and she would protect and cherish it at all costs. However, that pure emotion eventually turned into a sharp blade, piercing her heart deeply.

The betrayal, deception and hurt were engraved like a brand deep in her soul, causing her to struggle in despair and pain until the end of her life.

The pain was so heavy and deep that after her rebirth, she chose to let it go and let it go.

She understood that rebirth was not to repeat the tragedy of the past, but to give herself a chance to start over.

She learned to be independent, to be strong, and more importantly, how to protect herself from getting hurt.

She has been able to look at the actions of the He family with a detached attitude, no matter their past love or later indifference.

She no longer expected any warmth or comfort from them, nor was she sad or disappointed by their words or actions.

At this moment, she was like a bystander, quietly observing everything in front of her.

She knew that all this was a cycle of cause and effect that they had to face and endure.

At this moment, a figure slowly emerged from the crowd. The figure gradually became clearer and it turned out to be the second son of the He family, He Tianhong.

His face was stern, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes. He stared straight at He Lian'er not far away. His fingers trembled slightly with anger, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable indignation.

"He Lian'er, you are such a wicked person who has lost all conscience. I thought the blood of our family could awaken a trace of conscience in you, but I didn't expect that you would even want to kill me. Do you still have any humanity in your heart?"

He Lian'er was shocked by this sudden accusation and her face turned pale. She slowly raised her head and her eyes met He Tianhong's. There was not only fear in her eyes, but also a trace of indescribable panic and despair.

"You... why are you back? You... actually..." Her words were intermittent, as if every word was as heavy as a thousand pounds and difficult to speak.

Seeing this, He Tianhong curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer, which was full of bitterness and ridicule.

He strode forward, his voice cold and firm: "Seeing me standing here intact, do you feel unprecedented frustration and disappointment? Do you think you can hide the truth forever and play with us in your hands?"

This scene attracted the attention of the people around and a lot of discussions.

The elderly couple He Kangcheng and his wife, who were standing nearby, had expressions of shock and confusion on their faces.

They looked at each other, Xi Ruxin's eyes were red, and her voice was trembling: "Tianhong, what is going on? Why do you blame Lian'er like this?"

He Tianhong took a deep breath, turned around, looked at his parents firmly, and explained word by word: "Dad, Mom, listen to me."

"For a long time, He Lian'er has been maintaining family harmony on the surface, but secretly harboring evil intentions.

Just yesterday, she framed me and tried to make me lose my ability to move forever. If it weren't for the help of a noble person, I would probably be a walking corpse with only a body left.

Everything she did was to satisfy her own twisted desires. She didn't care about family affection at all, and she even disregarded the basic moral bottom line of being a human being!"

Upon hearing this, He Kangcheng and Xi Ruxin's faces turned pale as paper in an instant. They looked at He Lian'er again in disbelief. Those eyes that were once full of love and care now seemed to be covered in ice, so cold that it was chilling.

"You...you are so cruel! He is your biological second brother, the one who has loved you since childhood."

Xi Ruxin's voice trembled and tears welled up in her eyes. She could never have imagined that her daughter, whom she regarded as the apple of her eye, would do such a heinous thing.

Under He Tianhong's gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, He Lian'er's eyes became more and more flustered. She subconsciously took a small step back, clenched her hands into fists, her nails deeply embedded in her palms, but she didn't feel the pain at all.

There was a mixture of pleading and justification in her voice: "Mom and Dad, Brother, please listen to me. Things are really not what you think. The situation was complicated at the time, and I was impulsive at the moment, so I... did that."

Her words were intermittent, and she was obviously trying to weave a lie that even she couldn't fully believe.

He Tianhong became even angrier when he saw this. His chest rose and fell violently, as if he had thousands of words to say: "Impulsive? I'm your biological brother! How could you have the heart to do this to me?"

"This is not just a misunderstanding, it's a betrayal and a shame to the family!" His voice was full of disappointment and anger, as if at this moment, the once gentle and lovely sister had become strange and distant.

Just when the atmosphere was so tense that it almost froze, Zhao Yun's cold but firm voice rang out from the crowd, like a chilly winter breeze, piercing everyone's hearts.

"He Lian'er, do you think you can cover up everything by evading and quibbling? Do you know that the pain and hatred caused by you have been growing wildly in my heart like weeds, and have not diminished in the past ten years?"

There was a heart-pounding determination in her words, and the sword in her hand flashed a cold light in the sunlight, as if it could become the sharp blade that would end all grudges at any time.

He Lian'er felt the overwhelming chill and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

She looked up at Zhao Yun, feeling an inexplicable regret and unwillingness in her heart, but more of it was helplessness and resentment towards her own fate.

"Zhao Yun, you should have died long ago! I only regret that I couldn't get rid of you sooner."

Zhao Yun sneered, and the long sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and quickly placed it on He Lian'er's neck, and said coldly: "I have more than one account to settle with you, how about I help you recall what happened ten years ago?"

"Ten years ago? You mean I didn't save you from the quagmire in time during the swamp competition?" He Lian'er sneered, "I don't know you well, why should I take risks for you? Besides, this kind of thing is common in the spirit world, you can't blame me."

Zhao Yun shook her head: "That's not what I'm talking about."
