Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

As soon as Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi arrived under the stone ceiling, Chen Wenjin followed.

"This is my destination." Chen Wenjin looked up at the stone above his head with a firm gaze and an attitude of determination.

"Xiaohua! Why are you here too?" Wu Sansheng followed closely and saw Xie Yuchen next to Heixiazi, with a look of surprise on his face.

Xie Yuchen turned his head and looked at the people behind him. Only now did he realize that Wu Sansheng's acting had always been so bad, and only Wu Xie would believe his nonsense.

"If you can come, why can't I?" Xie Yuchen didn't mind competing with Wu Sansheng in acting skills. He stared at Wu Sansheng with complete dissatisfaction.

"Xiaohua, your Xie family still has a lot of things to deal with. What if something unexpected happens to you here?" Wu Sansheng said with a look of disapproval on his face.

"What bad things could happen to my Xie family? My uncle and his family are loyal to me, how could they betray me? Besides, if someone hadn't deliberately used Xie Lianhuan to lure me, I wouldn't have come here." Xie Yuchen's tone was filled with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Xie Lianhuan?" Chen Wenjin looked at Wu Sansheng in disbelief, her voice rising unconsciously, as if she had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world.

Her eyes were full of confusion and shock, and she seemed to have great doubts about the identity of the person in front of her.

"Lianhuan, haven't you told them yet?" Chen Wenjin's words were like a boulder falling into the water, creating a splash and breaking the originally calm atmosphere. This sentence exploded in the air like thunder, causing everyone present to fall into silence. Everyone's face showed varying degrees of surprise and confusion, and their eyes fell on Xie Lianhuan, waiting for his explanation.

"What did you call him?" Xie Yuchen looked at Chen Wenjin with disbelief, his brows tightly furrowed and his eyes flashing with astonishment.

He couldn't believe the name he just heard, as if this name was a completely strange existence to him. His lips trembled slightly, trying to say something, but he didn't know how to start.

"What about my third uncle?" Wu Xie heard the name from Aunt Wenjin's mouth and realized that since the person in front of them was Xie Lianhuan, what about his third uncle? His face turned pale, his lips trembled slightly, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

An indescribable fear and uneasiness surged in his heart as he realized that something extremely serious might have happened.

"Wu Xie, at first we all thought that person was Xie Lianhuan, but after we were locked up, we got together and reviewed the situation with each other. Finally we found out that your third uncle was the one who died on the rocky beach." Chen Wenjin looked at Wu Xie with sadness, her voice low and sad, as if carrying endless grief.

Her eyes revealed deep self-blame and pain, as if she was carrying a heavy burden.

When Wu Xie heard Chen Wenjin's words, his body trembled violently, and his face turned pale as paper in an instant. He trembled and took out an old-fashioned photo from his arms, staring at the person in the photo, as if he wanted to engrave it in his mind.

"Who is that person up there? Who else could he be if not my uncle?" His voice was filled with despair and reluctance, as if he was questioning the entire world. Tears welled up in his eyes and could fall at any moment.

"Wu Xie, where did you get this photo?" Chen Wenjin's voice trembled a little. She stared at the photo in Wu Xie's hand, eager to know the answer.

Wu Xie bit his lip, his eyes filled with tears, and he choked up and said, "This photo... was found at my third uncle's house after my uncle Lianhuan disappeared in the South China Sea." His fingers trembled slightly, as if the photo weighed a thousand pounds.

Chen Wenjin's face became solemn. She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Wu Xie, this photo was taken on the boat when we went to the South China Sea to do a scientific research project. Although the person in the photo looks very much like your third uncle, he is actually Xie Lianhuan. And the person who took the photo is your third uncle." Her words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Wu Xie's heart hard.

Wu Xie's hands dropped weakly, the photo fell to the ground, his eyes instantly lost their luster, and his whole body seemed as if his soul had been sucked out.

Chen Wenjin sighed softly and continued, "Wu Xie, none of us can be sure whether your third uncle is still alive. Maybe, there is still a glimmer of hope..." There was a hint of hesitation and worry in her voice.

Wu Xie raised his head suddenly, a spark of hope rekindled in his eyes. He tightly grasped Chen Wenjin's hand and asked excitedly: "Aunt Wenjin, you mean..."

Chen Wenjin nodded and said firmly, "Yes, Wu Xie, we can't give up hope of finding your uncle. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should persevere."

"I say, Third Aunt Wu Xie, have you been looking for this stone ceiling for so long? What's so rare about it? If you want it, you can find it everywhere in the courtyard of Yanjing." The fat man stood under the stone ceiling and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't find that it was no different from what he saw in Panjiayuan. The fat man had no choice but to ask Chen Wenjin.

"This is not an ordinary stone ceiling, this is meteorite jade." Chen Wenjin retorted after hearing what the fat man said. When he mentioned the meteorite jade, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, although it disappeared quickly, but it was still caught by Xie Yuchen, Hei Xiazi and the fat man.

"Meteorite jade! Isn't this the material used to make those jade servants that we saw in the alchemy room of the Queen Mother of the West before?" After hearing what Chen Wenjin said, Wu Xie looked at the ordinary stone ceiling in front of him with surprise.

"Yes, meteorite jade. It is also my destination, something many people spend their entire lives searching for." Chen Wenjin murmured to himself.

"Aunt Wenjin, I know I can't stop you, but please hold on to the rope. I've already lost my uncle, and I can't lose you again." Wu Xie knew he couldn't stop Chen Wenjin, so he could only take out a hemp rope from his backpack and hand one end to her.

Chen Wenjin took a deep look at Wu Xie, took the hemp rope from him, and jumped into the passage of the meteorite jade. When Chen Wenjin ran towards the depths of the meteorite jade, he looked back at Wu Xie.

Xie Yuchen also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by the black bear who was trying to break in.

Everyone waited in this open space for a quarter of an hour. The fat man pulled the rope out of impulse, but he didn't expect that the rope would slide down from the meteorite jade cave so easily and quickly.

"Tian Zhen, your Third Aunt didn't take the rope!" The fat man pulled up the rope and took a look. It was obvious that she had untied it by herself and it was not cut off by any sharp weapon.

Wu Xie stood up in shock, walked quickly to the fat man, and looked at the rope in his hand. Wu Xie came to the bottom of the cave with worry, and jumped hard, trying to hook the cave.

The fat man couldn't bear it anymore and pulled Pan Zi over and lifted up Wu Xie together. However, the entrance to the cave was too smooth. Wu Xie slipped down as soon as he touched the entrance. The fat man and Pan Zi, who were building a bridge on the ground, were knocked down by Wu Xie before they could stand firmly.

Xie Yuchen spent a thousand yuan to hire Hei Xiazi to guard Xie Lianhuan. After his young father and father came out, they were taken away directly and taken back to the Xie family.
