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

He Tianzong frowned: "Lian'er, at this time, you are still protecting her? You are just too kind-hearted."

He Lian'er lowered her head and pretended to wipe away her tears, but a calculating light flashed in her eyes.

She didn't feel sorry for Qiao Yun, she just didn't want the girl to feel resentful after being kicked out and tell everyone about what she had done in the past.

Seeing He Lian'er defending Qiao Yun, He Tianzong sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, let's not kick her out for now. But she did make a mistake, so we can't let her off this time. Give her thirty strokes of the cane so she'll learn her lesson."

After saying this, He Tianzong turned to the two disciples who were carrying out the execution in the courtyard and said, "Did you hear me? Beat them hard!"

At this moment, Qiao Yun, lying on the bench, felt extremely aggrieved, but she could not refute.

She raised her head and looked at her mistress, crying, wanting He Lian'er to plead for her, but He Lian'er pretended not to see it, pulled He Tianzong and turned back to the room first.

Hatred flashed in Qiao Yun's eyes.

However, the bone-piercing pain from the board hitting her body made her unable to care about these things and she could only groan.

This board is a magical tool specially made for the spiritual world. It can automatically eliminate the spiritual power of a monk, making it impossible for the person being punished to escape punishment.

Qiao Yun was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. How could she withstand such a heavy beating? She fainted after only seven or eight hits.

He Lian'er and He Tianzong had just sat down in the room.

He Tianzong looked at He Lian'er with a distressed look on his face and said, "Lian'er, don't worry. It was not your intention to falsely claim the credit this time. Big brother will definitely help you cover it up."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on He Lian'er's face, but it quickly disappeared. She took out two pieces of paper from her sleeve and handed them over.

"Brother, I know you are doing this for my own good. I was indeed wrong this time. I happened to get these two recipes a few days ago, and I thought of presenting them to the headmaster as a way to atone for my sins. What do you think?"

When He Tianzong heard this, his eyes lit up: "Prescription?"

Although he is not an alchemist, he has heard from his father and mother that alchemists usually do not pass on their recipes to others easily.

"Yes, it's a pill recipe. The original paper is a bit yellowed and old, and I was afraid of damaging it, so I carefully copied it. But my basic knowledge of alchemy is average, so I thought it would be safer to give it to my father and mother for review first, and then let them pass it to the head and my uncle."

He Tianzong smiled and nodded: "Indeed, this is better. Lian'er is really thoughtful."

"Lian'er, if these two pill recipes are real, then your contribution to the sect is limitless."

He Tianzong glanced at the recipe in his hand with an excited look.

The two chatted for a while and then went to He Kangcheng's study together.

At this time, He Kangcheng was sitting behind his desk reading a book.

He looked nonchalant the whole morning and didn't pay any attention at all.

Xi Ruxin, who was accompanying him, saw her like this and comforted her, "Brother, don't be like this. I believe Lian'er didn't do it on purpose this time. She is the lucky star of the Qixuan Sect and would never take credit for Rong'er's work. It must have been deliberately arranged by someone."

He Kangcheng threw the book on the table angrily, "Can it be arranged? But she clearly knew that this was Rong'er's credit, why didn't she explain it clearly when I praised her twice in front of everyone?"

"This……"

"I have lost face in front of the Sect Master and several Peak Masters! Humph!"

"Brother, don't be like this. Lian'er was raised by us. How could we, as her parents, not know what kind of person she is? Someone must have instigated her." Xi Ruxin believed in her daughter.

"Mother is right. Lian'er didn't come out to explain this time. Someone must have instigated her!" He Tianzong's voice came from outside the door, and then two people, one big and one small, walked into the study. They were He Tianzong and He Lian'er.

He Lian'er bowed as soon as she entered the room, then quickly walked to Xi Ruxin and said aggrievedly, "Mother, it's all Lian'er's fault. Lian'er couldn't stand the instigation of others. She was afraid that my sister would make a contribution this time and snatch away our parents' favor, so..."

Before she finished speaking, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks. She looked very pitiful.

Xi Ruxin hugged He Lian'er and comforted her lovingly, "Lian'er, my dear daughter, mother believes in you. You are mother's most beloved child, how could mother take away her love for you?"

He Kangcheng heard this, frowned, looked at He Tianzong and asked: "You said someone instigated Lian'er, who is it? I will definitely teach her a lesson and then drive her out of Qixuanmen!"

"It's Qiao Yun!"

"Qiao Yun? How could it be her?" Xi Ruxin looked at He Tianzong suspiciously, "That girl looks honest and clean, if not, your father and I would not let her serve Lian'er so closely."

"Mom, people will change. Besides, Qiao Yun was picked up by you from the human world. We don't know her origin and family background. Who knows if she has been pretending all along?"

"How can this be possible? Why don't you just beat the man to death!" He Kangcheng slammed the table in anger.

"No, father, mother, although it was Qiao Yun who instigated my daughter to do it this time, she has been with Lian'er for so many years, and Lian'er has always treated her like a sister, and they have long developed feelings for each other. Please don't beat her to death. My eldest brother has already beaten her with a stick, so let her be a maid in my daughter's courtyard from now on, okay?"

He Lian'er was so anxious that she knelt on the ground and begged.

"Lian'er, you don't have to do this for a little girl. Get up quickly!" Xi Ruxin was about to get up while holding her daughter, but He Lian'er held Xi Ruxin's arm tightly and was unwilling to give in.

Finally, Xi Ruxin had no choice but to look at He Kangcheng and said, "Brother, forget it. Since Lian'er is reluctant to drive him away, then I'll just give him a warning and keep him. If this happens again in the future, I will never tolerate it!"

He Kangcheng nodded: "Lian'er, you are so kind, it's not allowed in the spirit world. You have to know that the strong are respected in the spirit world, and sometimes kindness can become a knife stabbing at yourself."

He Lian'er wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded, "Yes, Lian'er remembers. I would like to thank father and mother for not killing me on behalf of Qiao Yun."

He Lian'er then slowly stood up, but still lowered her head and wiped her tears.

Seeing that everyone had gloomy faces, He Tianzong took two steps forward and said, "Dad, take a look at this first."

He took out the recipe for the medicine that He Lian'er had given him from his sleeve, his expression unable to hide his excitement.

He Kangcheng took it suspiciously, and was stunned when he saw the first line of words clearly.

He pointed at the paper in his hand and asked tremblingly: "This... this is actually a pill recipe! It's the recipe for the long-lost Spiritual Transformation Pill in the Spirit World!"

Upon hearing this, Xi Ruxin quickly let go of He Lian'er and came forward, looking at the names of the herbs on the paper with great excitement: "Tian Zong, where did you get this recipe?"
