Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Xie Yuchen was still working at his work leisurely, as if all the disturbances in the outside world had nothing to do with him. Not long after they camped by the lake halfway up the mountain, Jude Kao, who was already dying like a dying beast, was finally carried up with difficulty by the concerted support of his remaining subordinates.

Jude dragged his exhausted body and walked towards the mountain step by step. When he reached the top of the mountain, the first thing he did was to command his men to quickly set up camp to ensure the smooth implementation of subsequent operations.

He himself sat on the worn-out wheelchair, breathing in the oxygen that sustained his life, his eyes revealing a trace of weakness and struggle that was difficult to conceal. Then, he slowly pushed the wheelchair towards the tent where Xie Yuchen and the others were.

At this time, Xie Yuchen was completely immersed in the tent, busy dealing with various important matters in the company. Long hours of work made him feel dizzy, and his heart was filled with anger and he had nowhere to vent it.

At this moment, Qiu Dekao appeared in front of him as if he had come to him on purpose. With such a perfect outlet in front of him, how could Xie Yuchen let it go easily? His originally lazy expression suddenly became serious, and he secretly thought about how to teach this ungrateful guy a lesson.

However, despite his anger, Xie Yuchen still suppressed his emotions and continued to focus on the work at hand. It was not until the people sent by Jude Kao urged him repeatedly and invited him four times that he reluctantly moved his heavy buttocks, stood up from the comfortable chair, and slowly walked out of his tent.

Xie Yuchen slowly walked up to Qiu Dekao, with a flash of disdain and disgust in his eyes. He looked down at this man who was gray-faced, barely breathing but still stubbornly trying to survive, sneering in his heart.

"Jude Kao, you'd better not hold on like this. Look at how miserable you are now. Why bother? Persuading others that it is better to live than to die is because they still need to live. Do you have any need to live?" Xie Yuchen shook his head slightly, as if he saw a poor wretch who was about to die.

Huo Xian Gu sat quietly, her eyes revealing a complex emotion. She watched the confrontation between Xie Yuchen and Qiu Dekao, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This once arrogant foreigner has ended up like this, which can be regarded as karma. She looked back and seemed to see her own shadow in Qiu Dekao. Perhaps her current experience is also the result of her betrayal.

Huo Xian Gu lowered her head calmly. Xie Yuchen couldn't see her face clearly, but he knew in his heart that Huo Xian Gu probably really regretted treating his father like that. "Master Huo, I would like to give you a piece of advice here. 'Not all mistakes can be forgiven, and not all pain can be healed. There are always things that time cannot do anything about.'"

Huo Xian Gu's heart trembled when she heard what Xie Yuchen said, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that Xie Yuchen might be soft-hearted and let her go.

When Qiu Dekao heard Xie Yuchen's words, a struggle flashed in his eyes. He knew that his current situation was extremely critical, but the unwillingness in his heart made him unable to give up easily.

"Master Xie, you don't understand... What I am pursuing is not something you can understand." Jude Kao breathed hard, trying to explain his behavior.

"Oh?" Xie Yuchen raised his eyebrows, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, "The immortality you seek is to turn yourself into a monster and then threaten us? If so, then you are really stupid. You have become what you are now, it is entirely your own fault, there is no point in blaming anyone else."

Jude Kao closed his eyes helplessly, his face showing a tired and slightly desperate expression. He knew that all his persuasion words had fallen on deaf ears, and the heart of the man in front of him was as hard to melt as ice. Perhaps, from the beginning, his fate was like being firmly controlled by an invisible hand. No matter how hard he tried, it was like fighting against the torrent of fate, and he could not change the established status quo.

In this silence, suddenly, a noisy sound came from outside the tent, like a stone thrown into a calm lake. The sound was sharp and piercing, as if countless sharp blades were colliding and rubbing against each other, or like thousands of wild beasts roaring and roaring.

The sudden sound made everyone, who were already on edge, even more frightened. Huo Xian Gu's originally calm eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of vigilance, which was like lightning in the dark night, instantly illuminating her inner uneasiness.

Xie Yuchen also frowned tightly, thinking rapidly in his mind about what might happen. The people outside were either his men, Qiu Dekao's men or Huo Xiangu's confidants. But now that the heads of the two families were here, such a commotion should not have happened.

"It seems that someone can't control his temper." Xie Yuchen murmured in a low voice, his words revealing deep helplessness and worry. His right hand tightly grasped the soft yet tough whip at his waist, as if this whip could give him strength and courage to face the upcoming unknown danger.

Xie Yuchen strode out of the tent with firm and powerful steps. Every step seemed to step on everyone's heart, making people nervous.

Huo Xian Gu took a deep look at Qiu Dekao who was sitting in a wheelchair. Her eyes showed both worry for her old friend and hesitation about what was about to happen. Then she looked at Xie Yuchen who was about to disappear at the end of her sight. She was very conflicted. After thinking it over again and again, she finally decided to follow him to find out what was going on.

Xie Yuchen, surrounded by the Xie family and the Zhang family, came to the noisy place. At this time, Xie Yuchen saw who was coming, "The second son of the Wu family?"

Xie Yuchen looked at Wu Erbai who suddenly appeared, but did not see Wu Xie and Fatty Wang. He thought to himself: This damn old fox was actually acting for me in the room at that time. I wonder if that idiot Wu Xie knew about it.

Huo Xian Gu arrived a few steps late. He looked at the newcomers through the crowd and was shocked. Why did the second son of the Wu family come here? I didn't know what happened to Wu Xie here. Is there something here that can attract this person?

"Boy from the Xie family, don't be so rude. Although I, Wu Erbai, am not as orthodox as those elders of your Xie family, but after all, the Xie and Wu families are relatives. If you treat your elders like this, you will suffer in the future." Wu Erbai frowned slightly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Elder? You? You and I are relatives in many ways, and you still have the nerve to act like an elder in front of me? Are you going to make everyone laugh to death?" Xie Yuchen curled his lips in disdain. "Besides, my father's ancestral grave is here. I haven't come back to worship my ancestors for so many years. I'm here to worship my ancestors on behalf of my father. Do you still want to interfere in this matter?"

"How can you not listen to advice, kid?" Wu Erbai sighed helplessly, "This is not a place you can wander around in. It's full of dangers. You should go back quickly."

"When I was little, my father took me into the ancestral tomb." Xie Yuchen looked at Wu Erbai who was repeatedly obstructing him in confusion.

"You..." Wu Erbai was so angry that he was speechless. He didn't expect this kid to be so stubborn. "Forget it, go ahead. I hope you'll be safe." After saying that, Wu Erbai led his men away, leaving Xie Yuchen standing there alone, with an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
