Zou Mubai's eyes were so terrifying that the disciples felt a chill down their spines and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

When He Ronger saw Zou Mubai, her heart was relieved. She smiled at Zou Mubai and said, "Uncle Zou, I'm fine. Let's go."

The two were about to leave, but were stopped by He Xingwen who had chased them: "Rong'er, don't go!"

He hasn't taken her shopping yet, and he wants to buy her a lot of things to make up for the guilt he felt over the past month.

He Ronger frowned slightly, looked up at He Xingwen's eyes and said, "He Xingwen, I didn't do anything to let down the He family today, nor did I steal anything from He Lianer. What exactly do you want to do by pestering me like this?"

He Xingwen knew that He Rong'er had wronged him. Just as he was about to explain, he heard He Rong'er continue, "I have made it very clear just now. From now on, I have nothing to do with the He family. Please let me go."

She was really tired.

She died with resentment in her previous life, and later as a ghost she watched Yu Lu being tortured and killed by He Lian'er. At that moment she had only one thought in her mind: kill He Lian'er and the He family to avenge herself and Yu Lu.

But when she was reborn, she once again suffered the He family's indifference and differential treatment, but her hatred was not as strong anymore.

The greatest revenge against a person is to ignore him.

Now that she and Yu Lu are able to practice, they don't want their own minds and future to be affected by some unworthy people.

However, the premise is that these members of the He family do not provoke them.

He Xingwen didn't expect He Rong'er to be so resolute. He showed resentment on his face: "He Rong'er, I know you haven't had a good life since you came to Yaofeng. My brother, my parents and I didn't give you enough affection and love, but I realized my mistakes. Can't I make it up to you?"

He Ronger seemed to have heard a big joke. She looked at He Xingwen and said sarcastically, "A slap in the face and a candy in return, do you think I will be happy to accept it?"

Besides, the unfair treatment she received was far more serious than being wronged and scolded. How could it be offset by just a word of compensation from him?

"Then what else do you want?" He Xingwen growled.

"You want to compensate me? Sure, you can kill He Lian'er to make amends for me!"

She didn't believe that He Xingwen would really agree.

In the eyes of these people, He Lian'er was like their eyeballs. They were afraid that she would melt if they held her in their mouths, and afraid that she would fall if they held her in their hands. They were reluctant to touch even a hair on her.

Sure enough, He Xingwen was stunned when he heard this. His eyes flickered and his whole body stiffened.

"Rong'er, Lian'er is still young, and she does things a little capriciously, but she doesn't deserve to die, right?"

He Ronger sneered and said, "I know you can't bear to do that. If that's the case, don't provoke me again, otherwise I don't know what I will do. Tell He Lianer to avoid me next time she sees me. I won't let her bully me again!"

After saying that, He Ronger pulled Zou Mubai away.

He Xingwen stood there in a daze, watching the two people's backs getting farther and farther away, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Yan Mei walked up to He Xingwen, touched him, and then said dissatisfiedly: "Is that person really your sister? She is indeed not as sensible as He Lian'er. I don't think you need to be so nice to her. Go back and tell Elder He to beat her up."

She believed that Senior Brother He would definitely dislike a cold-hearted person like He Ronger, so she was not worried about offending He Ronger at all.

He Xingwen suddenly looked up, glared at Yan Mei unkindly, then turned and walked away without saying a word.

Yan Mei was frightened by He Xingwen's eyes. She stood there holding her chest. She didn't come to her senses until the people walked away: "Is there something wrong with this guy?"

At this time, several fellow apprentices who were traveling with her came up to her and asked, "Senior Sister Yan, are you okay?"

"Hmph! If he wasn't Senior Brother He's younger brother, I wouldn't bother with him." Yan Mei spat on the ground and went back to the rune shop angrily to continue shopping.

He Ronger dragged Zou Mubai halfway down the street before slowing down.

She let go of Master Zou's hand somewhat embarrassedly, and said awkwardly, "Well, Master Zou, I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

This was not the first time she had met the He family in front of Uncle Zou, but every time it embarrassed her.

Zou Mubai said coldly: "Were you often bullied at home before?"

Although he had noticed early on that the He family had a bad attitude towards her, he just thought they were afraid that she would lose face for the He family in public.

But after hearing the conversation between the brother and sister just now, he felt that things were not as simple as he thought.

He Ronger is weak and timid, but she would not easily say cruel words like "we have no relationship anymore" to anyone, let alone the other person is her blood relative in this life.

When He Ronger heard Zou Mubai ask this, a look of difficulty appeared on her face.

She didn't want to mention her personal affairs to Uncle Zou because of her inferiority complex and because it was not worth it.

She had already made up her mind that she would follow her uncle-master to learn how to make medicine, and it didn't matter if she didn't go back to the He family.

Seeing that He Rong'er was unwilling to mention it, Zou Mubai did not force her: "Forget it, since you don't want to mention them, I won't ask."

After that, he patted her furry little head and said, "Did you go to the rune shop to buy something? I'll go with you."

It was the first time that He Ronger had her hair touched so lovingly by someone other than her grandmother. She was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses: "Ah, I... I'm just curious about what those rune masters used to draw those powerful spells."

She didn't dare say that she wanted to buy some materials to try, for fear that Uncle Zou would laugh at her for overestimating her abilities.

She had just removed the seal on her spiritual roots, and now she didn't know how to draw the spirit into her body, nor did she know whether she could learn to draw talismans.

Thinking of this, He Ronger asked, "Uncle Zou, how many spiritual roots do I have?"

"Hmm? Didn't you look inward at your Dantian?"

"I've seen it, but I remember hearing someone say that many cultivators in the spirit world have dual or multiple spiritual roots, but those with more than three spiritual roots are useless. Wouldn't I, who have five spiritual roots, be even more useless?"

Anyway, in her understanding, the fewer types of spiritual roots one has, the better; the more types one has, the more useless they are.

Zou Mubai naturally knew the attributes of He Ronger's spiritual roots. He smiled and shook his head.

"No. What you said is the general situation, but there is another situation where all five spiritual roots are complete. This is the rare five-element spiritual root in the spiritual world. People with this kind of spiritual root are more precious than those with a single spiritual root, but there is a disadvantage."

"What shortcomings?"

"Because the five elements of spiritual roots require the five spiritual roots in the body to be upgraded at the same time, the spiritual power required is much more than that of ordinary cultivators, so the speed of cultivation will be much slower."
