Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

After hearing the bad news, Zhuo Yichen stood there in shock as if struck by lightning, and the grief in his heart surged like a tide. He widened his eyes, looked ahead in disbelief, and muttered to himself: "This is impossible... This is absolutely impossible!" However, when he saw the solemn and sad expression on the face of the great demon Zhu Yan, a sense of despair gradually crept into his heart.

Unable to suppress his anger and pain any longer, Zhuo Yichen rushed towards Zhen Mei like an enraged lion. He was so fast that he arrived in front of Zhen Mei in the blink of an eye. He stretched out his hands and grabbed her collar tightly, and asked with his eyes wide open: "You are talking nonsense! How could my father and brother die? What are you thinking?"

Zhen Mei was startled by Zhuo Yichen's sudden action. Although he was suppressed by an unknown force, seeing that Zhuo Yichen only needed one more move to push him into the abyss, he still tried to put on a provocative smile and said to Zhuo Yichen, "Whether I am talking nonsense or not, you can ask the great demon Zhu Yan in the hall. He was also at the scene at that time."

Zhuo Yichen didn't believe Zhen Mei's words at all. He suddenly let go of her hand, pushed Zhen Mei away, and then turned and ran towards Hua Yu again. At this time, he was already in tears, his eyes full of sadness and helplessness. After running to Hua Yu's side, he threw himself into Hua Yu's arms and asked with sobs: "Dad, is what he said true? Are my father and brother really no longer alive? Please tell me the truth!"

Hua Yu gently stroked Zhuo Yichen's hair, sighed and said, "Yuan... Chenchen, don't worry. Although I don't know the specific situation, I did give your father and brother two treasures for self-defense before they left. With their strength and these treasures, even if they encounter great danger, they should only be injured and will never die easily. So, we still have to think on the bright side."

Hearing Hua Yu say this, Zhuo Yichen calmed down a little. He tried to recall the scene at that time, and suddenly remembered that when his brother and father came to say goodbye to him, there were indeed two things handed to them by the servants beside his father. Thinking of this, Zhuo Yichen seemed to have grasped the last straw, and looked up at Hua Yu with expectation, hoping to get more news from him about the survival of his father and brother.

"Dad! I want to go to the Great Wilderness! I must see with my own eyes whether anything happened to my father and brother, instead of just believing other people's one-sided words like a fool." Zhuo Yichen suddenly broke free from Hua Yu's warm embrace and stood steadily aside. His face, which had originally revealed a bit of childishness, was now extremely serious, and he looked directly at Hua Yu with a firm gaze.

Hua Yu had never expected Zhuo Yichen to say such a thing. She was so shocked that she stood up suddenly, staring at the stubborn little guy in front of her with disbelief, and shouted: "Yuanbao! Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous the situation in the Great Wilderness is now? There is no news from your father and brother so far, which is actually a blessing in disguise. You just stay at home obediently and don't go anywhere!"

Hua Yu was almost furious at Zhuo Yichen's crazy idea of ​​going to the Great Wilderness. He turned around and shouted to Zhang Qiling beside him without hesitation: "Brother, take Yuan Bao back to his own yard quickly. Remember, no one can open the door and let him in without my permission!"

Zhang Qiling naturally understood that Hua Yu made such an arrangement purely out of consideration for Zhuo Yichen's safety. After all, Yuanbao was not an ordinary human child in the true sense. He was a descendant of the noble bloodline of Bingyi and Yinglong. Unfortunately, so far, the powerful bloodline power in Yuanbao's body was still dormant and had not yet awakened.

In this situation, if he were to be allowed to rush into the wilderness full of dangers, it would be as dangerous as letting an innocent and powerless child walk around the city with priceless gold in his arms.

"Daddy!" Zhuo Yichen shouted loudly, but he could not stop himself from being hugged tightly by Zhang Qiling, and walked towards the backyard step by step. However, deep down in his heart, Zhuo Yichen did not want to be trapped in this small yard, waiting for news about his father and brother all day long. Every minute and every second was a torment for him, as if time had stopped.

Zhu Yan, who was standing by, watched all this silently, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart. He really couldn't bear to see Zhuo Yichen in such pain and helplessness, so he said, "How about I take Second Master Zhuo directly to the Kunlun Mountain Temple? With my ability and experience, as long as I lead the way, I will definitely not let you encounter any danger along the way."

Hearing Zhu Yan's suggestion, Hua Yu cast her eyes on him and looked him up and down carefully. At this moment, Zhuo Yichen, who was originally dragged by Zhang Qiling to the backyard, seized the opportunity and suddenly struggled to break free from the hand that was reluctant to take him to the backyard.

"Zhu Yan, please! Take me to the Great Wilderness quickly! Didn't you mention before that there are still survivors in the Demon Collection Bureau?" Zhuo Yichen said anxiously while tightly grasping Zhu Yan's arm, his eyes full of pleading and expectation.

Zhu Yan looked at Zhuo Yichen, who was holding his hand and begging him, and his heart was in a state of confusion. In the end, he made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and then reached into his arms and carefully took out an extremely delicate incense burner. The incense burner was crystal clear, with exquisite patterns and runes carved on it, and exuded a faint fragrance.

Zhu Yan nodded to Zhuo Yichen, motioning him to hold his sleeve. Then, Zhu Yan took a deep breath, quickly made hand gestures, muttered something, and began to cast a spell.

Just as everyone was in shock, they saw a blazing flame suddenly burning in the antique incense burner without any warning. However, the strange thing was that the flame had no temperature at all, but instead emitted wisps of thick white smoke, which slowly rose like layers of gauze, tightly wrapping Zhu Yan and Zhuo Yichen.

In the blink of an eye, when the wisps of smoke gradually dissipated, people were surprised to find that Zhu Yan and Zhuo Yichen, who had been standing there just now, had disappeared without a trace, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.

"Brother! Why do you always indulge Yuanbao like this! Look, look, now he has run away with the wild monkey that came from nowhere outside!" Hua Yu was so angry that his face turned red. His beautiful eyes were filled with anger and dissatisfaction at the moment, staring straight at Zhang Qiling who let Zhuo Yichen go.

She was seen holding her hands in front of her chest, her body trembling slightly, obviously she was very angry. Zhang Qiling, who was standing beside her, had a calm expression on his face. He slowly walked behind Hua Yu, gently stretched out his arms, and gently embraced the sulking little fat lotus.

"Okay, my good Ayu! Don't be so angry. As the saying goes, 'it is better to guide than to block'. Even if we lock Yuanbao in the backyard by force, with his mischievous temper, he will definitely try all kinds of ways to sneak out. It would be better to find someone who can be controlled to go with him. In this way, we can look for them with a legitimate reason, isn't it better?" Zhang Qiling comforted softly, with an extremely gentle tone.

"Throw this damn Zhen Mei out to me! Right now! Strip him and throw him onto the street! Let everyone see how unlucky he is!" Hua Yu's eyes widened, and raging rage seemed to be bursting out of his eye sockets, burning straight at Zhen Mei, the commander of Chongwu Camp, who was lying on the ground and trembling.

At this moment, Hua Yu was already overwhelmed by anger, and had completely lost his usual elegance and reserve. His delicate face became a little distorted due to extreme anger, and his originally clear and pleasant voice was now full of sharpness and harshness.

Zhang Qiling, who was standing aside, looked at the furious Hua Yu in front of him, and his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He had no dissatisfaction or intention to stop Hua Yu's reckless venting of anger. On the contrary, he even teased with interest: "Since you are so angry, how about I beat up that King Xiang and the Emperor today, so that I can vent your anger? Anyway, Yuanbao wanted to go to the Great Wilderness because of the fake news spread by this hateful Zhen Mei."

"Of course I need to. If it weren't for that King Xiang and the Emperor, how could Yuanbao think of leaving me and following that wild monkey!" Hua Yu got angry when she heard about King Xiang and the Emperor. Her voice rose several times, which shows how much Hua Yu hated King Xiang and the Emperor.
