Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

After a period of rest, Aning and others, as well as Wu Xie and others, set out again.

Aning fired a flare toward the bottom of the canyon, and the flare that fell all the way down illuminated the entire space below.

"What's on these chains?" The fat man squatted there and looked at the criss-crossing chains below, with something hanging on them.

With the help of An Ning's men, Wu Xie and An Ning put on their speed skating equipment. "Who cares what it is? Let's go down first." After saying that, he slid down with An Ning.

Fatty and Pan Zi followed closely behind, with Wu Sansheng carried on Pan Zi's back.

"Pan Zi, if you find that something is wrong, take Xiao Xie and run away!" A tiny voice came from Pan Zi's ears.

Pan Zi's face lit up with joy. If it wasn't so dark around and no one could see his face clearly, the mercenaries around would probably rush up and surround them.

"Shh! Don't talk, just nod your head. There are too many people here."

Pan Zi nodded and continued to slide down as if nothing had happened.

When the fat man stepped on solid ground, his heart finally settled down. Before he took a few steps, he heard a scream from above.

The people gathered below looked up, but because there was no sunlight coming in, they could not see clearly what was happening above with just the few flashlights in their hands.

There was silence all around, and then there was a "bang" sound, as if something heavy was thrown down.

Aning held a flashlight in one hand and a gun in the other. Wu Xie followed beside her, also holding a flashlight in one hand and a knife in the other, and walked step by step towards the place where the object had just fallen.

"Peter!" An Ning recognized the man as a member of her team.

Judging from the wounds on Peter's body, it seemed that he was attacked by some kind of bird of prey, and it happened in an instant.

"Attention alert!"

Aning didn't find any trace of the bird of prey anywhere, so she could only be on guard.

Pan Zi quietly moved behind Wu Xie and slipped a note to him while An Ning was not paying attention.

Wu Xie also calmly put the note into his sleeve, ready to find a chance to read it. After all, he and An Ning seemed to be in a cooperative relationship, but in fact they were only united because of interests. If something really happened, these four people would definitely be the best candidates for An Ning to take the blame.

"Hey! Tian Zhen, look! There is a big coffin there. Could it be the owner of the tomb above?" The fat man's voice always suddenly broke into my ears.

Wu Xie's eyes quickly moved away from Ah Ning and looked at the big coffin. The fat man was standing next to the coffin with an excited look on his face. Wu Xie secretly complained in his heart: This fat man is really talking about things that are not related to the topic.

Wu Xie cursed in a low voice, while vigilantly observing the movements around him. Ah Ning was discussing something with her men, and had not noticed them for the time being. But Wu Xie knew that if Ah Ning found out that they were fooling around here, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Fatty, don't you see where you are? You still dare to act recklessly. Aren't you afraid of causing the same farce as before? Come down quickly!" Wu Xie lowered his voice, trying not to make his tone sound too nervous.

However, the fat man ignored Wu Xie's warning and patted the coffin excitedly, as if he had forgotten the danger here. Wu Xie shook his head helplessly, thinking that this fat man was really lawless.

"Oh, look at how naive you are." The fat man waved at Wu Xie and smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Wu Xie was extremely anxious, but he couldn't show that he was too panicked. Just then, An Ning finally finished dealing with the matter and walked towards them.

"Don't worry, I've sent someone to help him." Aning said calmly, her eyes fixed on the coffin.

Wu Xie's heart sank when he heard this. He knew he was in big trouble now. Ah Ning would definitely think that he had indulged Fatty's mischief. He secretly prayed that Fatty would not cause any trouble, otherwise he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Ah Ning walked up to Wu Xie and stared at him with a gloomy face. Wu Xie's forehead was covered with sweat, but he tried to stay calm and tried to explain: "Ah Ning, this is not my idea..."

Aning interrupted him: "Wu Xie, don't you and I know this? But I hope there won't be a next time. After all, you still need to look after my equipment and supplies." After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Wu Xie and Fatty standing there at a loss.

Wu Xie glared at the fat man fiercely, but the fat man grinned nonchalantly. The fat man took a look at the coffin and reluctantly stepped down from the stone platform. Wu Xie secretly swore in his heart that he must find an opportunity to teach this ignorant fat man a lesson.

Wu Xie and Pan Zi were giving Fatty a lesson, "Fatty, look at the look on An Ning's face just now. She wanted to eat us. Besides, a coffin was placed there so abruptly. Didn't you notice anything wrong?"

"What's wrong with this? Aren't we here just to open the coffin? Why shouldn't we open the coffin now that we see it?" The fat man was a typical example of someone who forgot the pain after the wound healed, and now he started to stand up again.

"Shut up! Everything we have now depends on An Ning. Don't think that just because she cooperates with us, she will give in to us. Don't forget how cruel this woman was in the underwater tomb." Wu Xie scolded the fat man angrily.

"Yes! Fatty, to be able to stand out among so many mercenaries and make them all believe in her as a woman, you should think about the fact that this woman's ability is definitely no less than that of any man." Pan Zi also added.

The fat man curled his lips and said, "Okay, okay! I will listen to you and I will never do it again next time."

At this time, Wu Xie also remembered the note that Pan Zi had just given him. He took it out and glanced at it using the fat man's body.

"Who gave this to you?" Wu Xie lowered his voice.

"This was given to me by the Third Master on the way down just now." Pan Zi answered truthfully.

"Uncle San is awake? Let's go to his place now." Wu Xie was both surprised and happy. He was surprised that his uncle, this old fox, had schemed against everyone, but he was happy that his uncle was fine.

The three hurried to the tent where Wu Sansheng was resting, and surrounded Wu Sansheng on the camp bed. Wu Sansheng slowly opened his eyes and saw three pairs of Baden-Baden looking at him. The sleepy bug was scared away instantly.

"You're going to die! Wu Xie, your third uncle is old and has a bad heart. Do you really want to inherit all those junk from your third uncle?" Wu Sansheng was so exhausted that he wanted to step forward and hit Wu Xie on the head.

"Uncle San, you are in very good health. I may be the person who most hopes that you live a long life. And if the things in your shop are junk copper and rotten iron, then the things in my shop must be farm fertilizers from the fields." Wu Xie was so angry that he laughed at the first words Wu Sansheng said after he opened his eyes.

Wu Xie turned his back to the tent door, holding up the note in his hand, "Who gave you this? I haven't met any strangers this time. Fourth Grandpa went into the mountains not long ago and turned back. Shunzi also left after finding his father's body."

Wu Xie directly blocked Wu Sansheng's mouth when he wanted to make up a story.

"Wu Xie, the water here is too deep. You simply don't have the ability now." Wu Sansheng looked at Wu Xie's slightly weathered face and sighed.

"I'm doing this for your own good!" x2

"Uncle San, have you ever asked me if I want to do this for my own good? This is just a favor you're forcing on me. What I hate most is the way you act as if everything you do is for me." After Wu Xie finished speaking to Wu Sansheng, he suddenly jumped up, scaring the people who were eavesdropping outside.

"Wu Xie!" Wu Sansheng also had a headache. This child had experienced too much and had no one to help him. It was really becoming increasingly difficult to fool him.

"Uncle San, was it you who arranged the silk book that led to Prince Lu's Palace? And the underwater tomb in the back, and even Lao Yang's, were all of these planned by you?" Wu Xie looked at Wu Sansheng with a bitter face.

Wu Sansheng looked at Wu Xie steadily, and suddenly felt dizzy, and fainted at the right time.

"Third Uncle! Third Uncle!" Wu Xie was so frightened by Wu Sansheng's fainting that he forgot what to ask.
