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

He Lian'er couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in her heart. She had never expected that even if she tried to keep a low profile, she would still not be able to escape the fate of being suspected.

This sudden trouble made her unhappy, especially when she looked at the female disciple who had been relentless towards her from the beginning, a hint of undisguised hatred flashed in her eyes.

However, the female disciple was completely unaware of He Lian'er's subtle emotional changes. She remained highly alert, and the tip of her sword trembled slightly, revealing her inner excitement and determination.

"Are you pretending not to hear? Our senior sister has already spoken, and you dare to ignore her! If you don't take off your veil, don't blame me for being rude!"

There was unquestionable toughness in her voice, and every word was like a sharp blade pointing directly at He Lian'er's heart.

Faced with this aggressive momentum, He Lian'er took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil.

She knew that resisting at this moment would only make the situation worse.

So, she managed to squeeze out a hoarse and low voice and slowly said: "I know that I am ugly, and I can't bear to disturb your peace. I am not feeling well today, so it is really not appropriate for me to stay any longer. I hope you can show some mercy and let me go. I thank you in advance."

As she spoke, she folded her hands, bowed slowly, and performed a very respectful salute to show her sincerity and humility.

Upon seeing this, Yan Mei and several other Lingyun Sect disciples' originally tense expressions relaxed a little.

They naturally knew that Lingyun Sect had always been known for its chivalry and did not judge people by appearance, but considering the strict orders issued by the sect leader and the various unstable factors in the town in recent days, it was difficult for them to let down their guard easily.

"We, disciples of the Lingyun Sect, naturally won't easily judge others based on their appearance. But this is an extraordinary period, and routine inspections are essential. I hope you can understand. Please cooperate and lift your veil so that we can confirm your identity."

Hearing this, He Lian'er's brows furrowed deeply, as if they could hold a thin needle.

Her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, her fingers unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and her fingertips turned slightly white due to the force.

She knew clearly that she must not lift the veil, as that would mean exposing her identity. At the same time, she was a wanted person in the entire spiritual world, and she might encounter unexpected events wherever she went.

Thinking back to her own situation, He Lian'er's heart sank to the bottom.

Her portrait has long been posted in prominent locations in major cities, and she has become a well-known "big devil."

However, what worried her even more was that Yan Mei in front of her was not an ordinary cultivator. She was a fanatical admirer of her second brother, someone who knew her appearance and identity very well.

They had just met a few days ago, and the sense of familiarity made He Lian'er sure that once the veil was lifted, Yan Mei would recognize her immediately.

Thinking of this, He Lian'er tried to calm her inner panic and said in a calm voice: "I understand your difficulties, and I am grateful for the chivalrous heart of Lingyun Sect. But please allow me to keep this secret, because I have no choice but to do so. Please believe me, I have no ill intentions, and I will not do anything to harm the people."

"Words are not enough. If you insist on doing this, we can only take necessary measures!"

Jiang Hong's voice became increasingly cold, revealing an unquestionable firmness.

She was attracted by He Lian'er's cool temperament from the beginning, but because of jealousy, she deliberately found fault with her.

At this moment, seeing that He Lian'er was reluctant to lift the veil, he became more convinced of his guess - this woman must have a secret that she could not tell anyone.

With a slight flick of her wrist, the long sword in Jiang Hong's hand seemed to have a spirit, and it moved quickly and accurately towards He Lian'er's veil. Her heart was filled with excitement and pride at the truth that was about to be revealed, as if she had already seen He Lian'er's panicked face.

However, at this critical moment, He Lian'er reacted quickly, tilted her body to the side, and dodged Jiang Hong's sword.

At the same time, while everyone was still not reacting, she spotted the gap between a few people and flew out, heading straight for a remote alley.

When the people present, including Yan Mei, saw this, they immediately realized that something was wrong and started chasing after the woman in the veil.

Just as He Lian'er ran to the entrance of the alley, a sudden breeze blew gently, as if it was the hand of fate, inadvertently lifting a corner of the veil, and then as if pulled by some force, the entire veil floated up, revealing He Lian'er's pure and elegant, stunning face.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

The people who were chasing her, including Jiang Hong, were all stunned.

They had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Her face seemed to have walked out of a painting, with an ethereal air that made people feel awe involuntarily.

However, this beauty did not last long as it was broken by a rapid shout.

Yan Mei reacted quickly after a brief moment of shock. She pointed at He Lian'er, her voice filled with disbelief and urgency: "Quick, catch her, don't let her run away! She is...she is..."

Yan Mei's words were full of shock and panic, and it was obvious that she had recognized He Lian'er's identity.

After being reminded by Yan Mei, the other people also came to their senses, drew their weapons, and surrounded He Lian'er. The atmosphere instantly became tense.

He Lian'er looked at the scene around her with mixed feelings. She had never expected that her identity would be exposed in this way.

But she also understands that escape is not a solution, and only by facing it can she find a solution.

So, she took a deep breath and looked at the people in front of her with cold eyes: "You are the ones who are asking for death this time, you can't blame me!"

He Lian'er's voice was cold, and she looked at the people chasing after her as if they were dead people.

The corner of her mouth curled up into a cold smile, and a trace of spiritual power gradually gathered in her hand, which she threw at the disciple closest to her at an incredibly fast speed.

"Boom--" A piece of talisman paper blew the disciple away with an explosive force, and when he landed on the ground, only a blur of flesh and blood was left.

"Junior Brother Zhang!"

Yan Mei widened her eyes in shock at this.

When she looked back at He Lian'er, her eyes were red and filled with terrible hatred.

"He Lian'er, you actually killed a disciple of my Lingyun Sect in the street, you deserve to die!"

After saying that, she took out a stack of talismans and rushed towards He Lian'er regardless of anything.

But before she could input her spiritual power to activate the talisman, He Lian'er took the initiative and quickly attacked Yan Mei.

As he raised his hand, a dagger flew through the air, a severed hand fell to the ground, and the air was filled with flying talismans.

"Senior Sister Yan!"
