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

It took Xi Ruxin a long time to recover from the shock. Her fingers trembled as she pointed at the pill in the claws of the spirit marten on the table, and her voice became intermittent with excitement.

"Hurry... look, that... that is actually... the 'Rejuvenation Pill'!" Every word she said seemed to be struck out by a heavy hammer, filled with incredible shock.

Upon hearing this, He Kangcheng frowned and quickly turned his gaze in the direction Xi Ruxin pointed.

When his eyes fell on the spirit mink, who was concentrating on enjoying the delicious elixir and had no idea that he had become the focus of everyone, his expression froze instantly.

Those originally careless eyes were now wide open, as if they wanted to imprint the scene before them deeply in their minds.

"You...you mean, it's eating the 'Rejuvenation Pill'?!"

He Kangcheng's voice also trembled with disbelief. He simply couldn't believe what he saw and heard.

The Rejuvenation Pill is an extremely precious elixir in the world of cultivation. It can quickly recover from injuries and even has miraculous effects on some stubborn diseases. It is priceless and is simply beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

Now, such a precious pill was actually being enjoyed by a spirit marten like a snack. How could he not feel heartbroken?

"Oh my, what a huge waste!"

He Kangcheng couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. His tone contained both blame for He Ronger's behavior and regret for the pill that was wasted.

In his opinion, even if He Ronger took the pill herself, it would be far more meaningful and valuable than what was happening now. However, the fact had already happened, and he had no choice but to sigh.

At this time, the atmosphere in the yard became extremely heavy. He Tianhong, He Xingwen and "Zhao Yun" also gathered around. They looked at the wooden box and the spirit marten on the table, their faces also filled with shock and confusion.

He Xingwen's fingers trembled slightly. He could hardly believe his eyes, and he couldn't believe that He Ronger would do such a shocking thing.

He raised his voice, his tone filled with surprise and reproach: "Rong'er, what on earth are you thinking? This is a half-step high-level elixir that is rarely seen in the entire spirit world. How could you give it to a spirit beast so easily? Do you know that such an elixir is enough to make many cultivators dream of it, and even willing to exchange their lives for it?"

He Ronger raised her head slightly, and her eyes met He Xingwen's, her eyes were cold and indifferent.

She shook her head gently, and her eyes fell gently on the spirit marten on the table again: "My elixir, I can give it to anyone I want, you have no right to interfere."

Upon hearing this, Xi Ruxin became even more furious. She stepped forward quickly, her tone full of dissatisfaction and anxiety: "Rong'er, you are so ignorant! Do you know the value of this elixir? How can you so easily..." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by He Rong'er.

"What are you going to do?" He Ronger's voice suddenly turned cold.

She suddenly raised her head and stared at Xi Ruxin with a sharp gaze, as if she could see through her. Xi Ruxin was stunned by the sharp look, as she had never seen He Ronger like this before.

"I...I just want to get this pill back. It shouldn't be wasted like this."

Xi Ruxin spoke incoherently, but she did not stop and still tried to snatch the pill from Ling Diao's hand.

"Enough!" He Ronger stood up suddenly, hugged the spirit marten tightly in his arms, looked directly at Xi Ruxin, and said word by word: "Elder Xi, this is mine, I have the right to decide where it goes, and you have no right to interfere!"

Although her voice was soft, every word was sonorous and powerful, like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.

Xi Ruxin was so shocked by her aura that she was speechless for a moment.

The whole room fell into a brief silence, with only the occasional "squeak" from the mink breaking the depressing atmosphere.

At this time, He Kangcheng once again shouted in anguish: "It's not worth giving such a good pill to a beast!"

"Whether it's worth it or not, I know it in my heart. You don't need to judge it, and it has nothing to do with you."

He Ronger's words revealed an unquestionable determination. She gently held the spirit mink in her arms, then slowly moved back, sat up straight, and faced Xi Ruxin and others with a more determined attitude.

Xi Ruxin was stunned. She never expected that her daughter would speak to her in such a cold and distant tone. What made it even more difficult for her to accept was the sentence "It has nothing to do with you."

Her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was trembling: "You...how can you talk to me like this? I am your mother. I gave birth to you after ten months of pregnancy and raised you up with great effort. How can you be so heartless?"

Hearing this, the sarcasm on He Ronger's face became even stronger. She shook her head gently, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. That smile was full of helplessness towards the past and mockery of reality.

"Elder Xi, please allow me to remind you once again that the relationship between us no longer exists. We are just strangers now."

Xi Ruxin's face turned red after hearing what He Ronger said.

Yes, they have just signed a severance agreement and they have no relationship anymore.

But there was still reluctance in her eyes, especially when she saw half a pill in Ling Diao's hand, she revealed a hint of greed.

"You...you! Since you have such a precious elixir, why don't you give it to us?"

"Oh? Elder Xi is wrong. Your accusation is too far-fetched. I did generously place this box of pills in front of you just now. It was you who looked at it with a worldly eye and easily regarded it as an ordinary thing without asking for details. You threw it away like a rag. Now that you know the truth, you turn around and accuse me. Isn't this unfair?"

He Ronger's tone was full of contempt and helplessness. She glanced coldly at He Kangcheng and Xi Ruxin out of the corner of her eye, as if she was mocking their ignorance and short-sightedness.

Xi Ruxin and He Kangcheng blushed at He Ronger's words, and felt mixed emotions.

They recalled what had happened just now. Indeed, He Ronger had simply handed the pill to them without specifically explaining its value. And because of their usual prejudice against He Ronger, they made hasty judgments without further investigation.

"You... why didn't you just say that this was a half-step high-level elixir?" Xi Ruxin asked unwillingly, she tried to save a little face with words.

"Why should I tell you? Besides, if you two really care about my affairs, how could you not even know about my ability to refine medicine?"

There was a hint of sarcasm and sadness in He Ronger's words. She shook her head gently, as if she had become indifferent to all of this.

She has been studying alchemy with Sect Master Yuan in Qingling Sect for ten years. During this period, except for He Xingwen who occasionally appeared in front of her, where were the other members of the He family?

If they only inquired carefully, they would find out that they had already been reborn and even appreciated by Sect Master Yuan.

But they didn't.
