He Xingwen was afraid that Qiao Yun would find out, so he hid his presence.

He saw with his own eyes Qiao Yun sneak out from the back door, walk around and around to a rockery, and then he didn't know where he pressed the button, but the rockery suddenly opened in the middle, revealing a path.

Qiao Yun looked around for a moment and then went in.

He Xingwen followed before the rockery closed.

I thought this secret passage led to a dark room, but after turning left and right a few times, I saw a bright light in front of me.

After He Xingwen came out, he discovered that the exit was actually a small forest on the mountainside.

Before He Xingwen had time to think about it, he saw Qiao Yun's figure not far ahead and hurriedly followed.

Soon he saw Qiao Yun walking towards the disciples' compound near the top of the mountain.

He Xingwen frowned slightly: "Why did she go through so much trouble to come here?"

It was obvious that she could get here just by walking straight out of Tingzhuyuan, but she had to take such a big detour, which He Xingwen couldn't understand.

Not long after, He Xingwen saw Qiao Yun walk into Junior Sister Yin's courtyard.

He didn't dare to alert the enemy, so he hid under the window in the yard and eavesdropped.

"Qiao Yun, why are you here at this time?" It was the voice of Junior Sister Yin.

"Senior Sister Yin, my second young lady asked me to come here to get back the longevity lock I gave you before."

"What? You want it back?"

"Senior Sister Yin, when my young lady gave it to you, she repeatedly told you to hide it, but you actually showed it to others. Since you didn't keep your promise, take it back."

"No, Qiao Yun, I don't have it. This longevity lock contains rich spiritual energy. It is the lifeblood of my spiritual roots. Please don't take it away!"

"Humph, it's not up to you yet. If you don't take it out yourself, don't blame my lady for driving you down the mountain."

Hearing this, He Xingwen's eyes dimmed and he disappeared into the yard in a flash.

It was just by chance that he discovered that the chain on Junior Sister Yin's neck was very similar to the longevity lock that his parents had customized. He used this excuse to deceive He Lian'er, but he didn't expect that he actually guessed it right.

It seems that the sister he dotes on is not as kind and innocent as they see.

In Tingzhu Garden, He Lian'er took the Nine-Turn Spiritual Rejuvenation Pill brought back by He Tianzong, and indeed her complexion looked a little better.

At this time, Qiao Yun quietly returned to the room, stood beside He Lian'er's bed and gave her a reassuring look. Only then did He Lian'er feel relieved.

She grabbed Xi Ruxin's hand and said, "Mother, I really didn't do what Third Brother said. You must believe me."

She didn't know how He Xingwen knew about this, nor did she know why he suspected her.

In short, ever since the last time he heard Qiao Yun say that he went to the bushes in the front yard, the third brother's attitude towards him has become much colder.

It seems that the third brother no longer believes in her, and she decides to give up on him.

But for now, we still have to win over the other members of the family.

As He Lian'er spoke, her eyes became red and tears welled up in her eyes, which made Xi Ruxin feel heartbroken.

"Lian'er, mother believes in you. You won't do such a thing. Your third brother must have heard someone's slander to say that."

He Tianzong and He Tianhong on the side also didn't believe it and both tried to comfort him.

However, He Lian'er seemed to have suffered a great injustice, and cried, "No, brother, mother, I must prove my innocence. Please come with me to my sister's residence to look for it. If the longevity lock is really not there, you can do whatever you want to me."

Xi Ruxin naturally didn't want to let He Lian'er work hard, so she consoled him, "Silly child, mother believes in you. You are not well yet, so it is not suitable for you to get out of bed. You should rest well in your room. We can talk about this later."

He Lian'er shook her head: "No, if this matter is not investigated thoroughly, Lian'er will not be at peace."

Seeing her like this, He Tianzong could only say, "Well, you all stay here, and my second brother and I will go look for it. If we find it, my sister's suspicion will be cleared."

Xi Ruxin had no choice but to agree.

The two brothers He Tianzong and He Tianhong walked out of Tingzhu Garden together and headed towards the woodshed where He Ronger lived.

The firewood room was a little distance away from Tingzhu Garden. The two men felt that the scenery before their eyes became more and more desolate, and disgust appeared in their eyes.

He Tianzong complained dissatisfiedly: "A wild girl from the human world is always bothering people with these trivial matters, humph!"

He Tianhong didn't say anything, but he felt more and more irritated as he walked forward.

He had never known that He Ronger lived so far away before.

Finally, after about half an incense stick of time, the two arrived at the woodshed in the backyard.

He Tianzong ran straight to the door and kicked it open.

He Tianhong was about to stop him but it was too late, so he had to follow him in.

As soon as you enter the door, you see very little furniture, just a bed, a table, and a small wardrobe. There is very little space to store things in the entire house.

He Tianzong stood still in the room, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the crooked wardrobe.

He Tianhong was very conscious. He walked towards the closet and slowly opened the door.

There were only two sets of clothes in the closet, which they all recognized. One set was bought by He Ronger's mother at the market at the foot of the mountain when she first came, and the other set was the patched and worn-out clothes that she wore when she was in the human world before.

They both frowned at the same time.

The wardrobe of Elder Yaofeng's daughter is not only shabby, but it also only has one set of clothes that can be worn out. Who would believe this if I told others?

He Tianzong’s face darkened.

He Tianhong looked down and saw a drawer under the wardrobe. He pointed at it and said, "Brother, do you want to open it and take a look?"

He Tianzong came back to his senses and said in a cold and hard tone: "Open it and take a look."

He Tianhong opened the drawer and saw a longevity lock lying alone inside. It was the one that his mother had customized for He Ronger.

The moment they saw the things, the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

They didn't know why they were so looking forward to the things inside, so without thinking too much, they took the things and walked out.

Speechless all the way.

The two of them quickly returned to Tingzhu Garden. Before they even entered the door, they heard He Lian'er's voice: "The brothers are back!"

Xi Ruxin looked up at the door. Before she could say anything, she saw the thing in He Tianzong's hand. Her eyes suddenly became angry: "I said that the third brother was blinded by lard and even suspected Lian'er. Isn't this thing in the wild girl's room?"

He Lian'er felt proud and at the same time curled the corners of her mouth towards Qiao Yun beside her.

The two people's eyes met and then quickly separated.

He Lian'er grabbed Xi Ruxin's hand and said aggrievedly: "Mother, Lian'er has never hidden sister's things. Sister is suffering in the human world, Lian'er feels sorry for her. If sister is willing, Lian'er is willing to give her all the jewelry and clothes in my house."
