Seeing that it was He Xingwen, He Tianzong breathed a sigh of relief, and with a thought, the long sword in his hand slowly disappeared.

"If you're here, just come in. Why are you hiding?"

He Xingwen's lips curled slightly: "I was just about to come in, and I heard you and Lian'er talking. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I was about to go back when you found me."

After saying that, he looked at He Lian'er and looked her up and down for a while.

His hair was just a little messy, but he was fine overall, not even a drop of sweat.

It seems that his sister's cultivation is not simple, or she is carrying some magic weapon that can isolate the temperature.

If that were true, being punished to go to the lava cave would be a joke.

Looking to the side, there was a small table next to He Lian'er's feet. The table was filled with food and covered with a layer of spiritual power.

It seems that this was brought by the eldest brother to He Lian'er.

Thinking of his elder brother who was cruel to He Ronger in his dream, He Xingwen felt uncomfortable.

The moment He Lian'er saw He Xingwen come in, she felt panic in her heart and avoided looking directly into her third brother's eyes.

This third brother has been very distant to her recently, and sometimes even embarrasses her in front of her parents. Did he come here today to laugh at her?

Thinking of this, He Lian'er showed displeasure on her face: "Third brother, since you don't like Lian'er, why did you come to see me? Do you want to laugh at me?"

He Tianzong had not been in Qixuanmen these days and did not know about his third brother and Lian'er, so he was a little suspicious when he heard this: "Third brother, what's going on? Did you bully Lian'er? She is our only sister. Why don't you love her and pamper her? Why do you laugh at her?"

He Xingwen sneered and said, "Brother, what you said is not right. What do you mean by the only sister? Isn't there He Rong'er? She was also born after mother carried her for ten months, and she is also our sister."

When He Tianzong heard this, his face suddenly turned gloomy. He stared at He Xingwen, his eyes full of anger and dissatisfaction.

"What did you say?" he roared, "He Rong'er? She is just a country girl, how can she be compared with our Lian'er?"

He Xingwen looked at his angry expression and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He knew that He Tianzong's prejudice and hostility towards He Ronger were deeply rooted and difficult to change.

"Brother," he said calmly, "Although He Rong'er has lived in the human world since she was a child, she has the same blood as us. You can't deny that. She is no worse than anyone else, and she should not be despised and insulted by you like this."

After hearing what He Xingwen said, He Tianzong still looked angry, and in his heart he felt that he had gone too far.

He didn't have any deep hatred with He Rong'er, he just couldn't stand the way she always looked like she was being bullied.

As long as she doesn't have a conflict with Lian'er, he won't be unable to tolerate that girl.

But every time He Ronger took advantage of the fact that no one else at home was around to bully Lian'er, he couldn't tolerate it.

"Third brother, let's not talk about that wild girl today. Lian'er was punished to reflect on her mistakes in front of the wall. Didn't you come to see her? Why did you come empty-handed?"

"Brother, if you are being punished, you should behave like you are being punished. You can't treat her differently just because she is our sister, right?"

He pointed to the small table and the spiritual food beside him and said, "If the headmaster and the great-grandmaster knew about this, do you think the punishment would be more severe?"

He Tianzong's heart tightened when he heard this.

The rules of the Qixuan Sect are still very strict. If they were really discovered by the head master, not only would He Lian'er's punishment be increased, but even he, the person who came to deliver something to her, would be implicated.

He Xingwen noticed his brother's panic, and walked to the small table with a smile, and put away the table with one hand: "This way we won't be discovered. Brother, we've seen the people, it's time for us to leave."

He Tianzong's face turned pale, but he had no words to refute. He turned around and said to He Lian'er, "Take care, Lian'er. Big brother will come to pick you up tomorrow." He flicked his sleeves and walked towards the cave entrance.

He Xingwen's lips curled slightly. When he saw his eldest brother walk out of the lava cave, he looked at He Lian'er and said, "Lian'er, it's not that Third Brother doesn't love you. This punishment was proposed by the headmaster and the great-grandmaster, and we can only obey. Since you are facing the wall to reflect on your mistakes, you shouldn't use some spiritual skills and magic weapons. Third Brother will help you put them away."

After saying that, He Xingwen reached out to grab He Lian'er in the air, and a completely aqua blue bead appeared in his palm.

At the same time, He Lian'er's body was sweating visibly, and soon the sweat wet the hair on her cheeks.

"Third brother, what are you doing..."

"If you are punished, you should be aware of the punishment, right? If you don't accept the pain at all, how can you become a superior person in the future?"

He Lian'er hated He Xingwen in her heart, but she knew that her eldest brother was still at the cave entrance, so she could only say weakly: "Third brother is right, Lian'er did something wrong and should be punished."

Hearing He Lian'er say this, He Xingwen turned around and walked out of the lava cave with satisfaction.

When he was almost out of the cave, he secretly threw a note inside and strode away.

After the eldest and third brothers had walked far away and their footsteps could no longer be heard, He Lianer slapped her thigh angrily: "This damn He Xingwen actually dared to take away all my magic weapons! Damn it!"

There was a viciousness in her words. Where was the obedience and kindness she had just shown?

On the way down the mountain, He Tianzong asked He Xingwen dissatisfiedly: "Third brother, I feel that you have changed recently. Have you been bought by that wild girl He Ronger? Why do you always defend her? Even at the cost of making Lian'er angry for her?"

"Brother, I was not bribed by anyone. I just felt that we were too harsh on He Ronger in the past."

"Too much? How is it too much? Is it too much for her to snatch Lian'er's clothes and jewelry? Is it too much for her to say bad things about Lian'er behind her back?"

"Brother, what evidence do you have to prove that those clothes and jewelry were stolen by He Rong'er? Did you see it with your own eyes?

Also, did you hear her say bad things about Lian Er behind her back? Apart from anything else, even we brothers didn't know about those rumors, so how did she, a little girl who just came from the human world, know about them? And how did she spread them?"

He Tianzong was silent for a moment, still refusing to admit that he had wronged He Ronger: "Anyway, I believe in Lian'er, she won't lie to me."

"Brother," He Xingwen took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, "I know you are prejudiced against He Ronger, but you can't deny her value and efforts because of this. She is a woman with potential, worthy of our attention and cultivation."

"That's enough!" He Tianzong roared, "I don't want to hear any more of your nonsense. In my eyes, Lian'er is the only sister I recognize."

He Xingwen looked at his resolute expression and couldn't help feeling helpless and disappointed.

It seems that only by providing solid evidence can we make everyone believe it.
