Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

The three elders, Gong Hongyu, Xue Yuehua, only said that they would think about it and give Hua Yu a reply after they had considered it.

Hua Yu did not care about the time issue, but said with some embarrassment: "Of course it needs to be carefully considered. But..." Hua Yu paused for a while, and when he looked up at the four people opposite, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "But, I hope this time will not be too long. After all, I am not a patient person. I want to hold the sword at the palace gate, but I don't want to see the scene of a large army, right?"

A stronger spiritual pressure was exerted on Gong Hongyu and the other three, causing them to turn pale and tremble. They said tremblingly, "This is natural, this is natural."

Hua Yu stood up and walked out of the room, turned around and looked at Gong Hongyu and the other three as if he was looking at an ant, "Then I will wait for Mr. Gong's reply." After saying that, he took Gong Yuanzheng in the direction of Zheng Palace.

Gong Shangjiao was still sitting there motionless, his eyes slightly lowered, no one knew what he was looking at or thinking about.

After Gong Hongyu, the three elders Xue Yuehua and others left, the spiritual pressure on their bodies disappeared, and they instantly collapsed to the ground, raising their trembling hands to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.

Gong Hongyu looked at Gong Shangjiao who was as dumbfounded as a wooden stick, "Shangjiao, which of the plans given by the Zhuo family just now do you think is more suitable for us?"

Gong Hongyu knew very well that no matter which one they chose, the final result would be that Gong Yuanzheng would be alienated from Gongmen. The first plan proposed by the Zhuo family was more like using the last seven years to buy out everything Gong Yuanzheng had in Gongmen.

However, no one can guarantee that the poisonous miasma of the palace gate will not mutate again. Once Gong Yuanzheng leaves the palace gate, who will guarantee their safety? The poisons that Gong Yuanzheng researched are the main source of income for the palace gate. Without Gong Yuanzheng, the entire palace gate will be reduced by more than half. How will they fight Wufeng in the future?

The second plan seemed good, arranging Gong Yuanzheng to stay in Tiandu and Gongmen for half a year respectively. However, in Gongmen, the only person who could really make Gong Yuanzheng worry was Gong Shangjiao. Only Gong Shangjiao, the elder brother, would sincerely care for and cherish this so-called "monster" who lost both his parents when he was young and could not even shed tears.

But the Zhuo family in Tiandu was completely different! They actually treated the heartless weird kid Gong Yuanzheng as a treasure. In this way, during the six months he spent in Tiandu, who could guarantee that Gong Yuanzheng would not be bribed or even used by the Zhuo family with ulterior motives? After all, human hearts are hard to predict!

You know, Gong Shangjiao is not a stupid person. He was able to make a great name in the martial arts world, making the Wufeng people fear him, and making many martial arts people afraid of him. It is not just luck. This person must have extraordinary means and extraordinary wisdom and strength.

At this moment, Gong Shangjiao slowly said: "Go back, in my opinion, the second plan may be more in line with our current situation and the status of Yuanzheng." Having said that, in fact, deep down in his heart, Gong Shangjiao was looking forward to hearing the other party propose the first plan - to let Gong Yuanzheng completely leave the palace and fly to the vast and free world.

Unfortunately, as a member of the palace, he had been repeatedly instilled with the idea that he must protect the safety of the people in the palace since he was a child. Under such a heavy responsibility, he had no choice at all. But even so, he still sincerely hoped that his expedition brother could have the right to independently choose his own life path.

In his deep eyes, there was a firm and warm light, as if it could penetrate the endless darkness and reach the distant sea of ​​stars. In his eyes, his brother Yuanzheng was like a pearl shining in the sky, exuding unique charm and light, and he deserved to have a vast and dazzling starry sky that belonged only to him.

"Shang Jiao! I need to discuss the relevant matters with the elders in detail. You can go back for now." Gong Hongyu said solemnly. He did not think too much about other possibilities. After all, among the younger generation of the current Gongmen, if we talk about who is the most loyal to the Gongmen, then there is no doubt that person must be Gong Shang Jiao. Because of this, Gong Hongyu will also carefully consider the suggestions and opinions put forward by Gong Shang Jiao and give them a certain degree of reference.

After receiving the order, Gong Shangjiao slowly turned around and left the Blade Hall with heavy steps. Along the way, he remained silent, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the gate of Zheng Palace.

Before entering the palace, he could hear a hearty and cheerful laugh coming from inside. Gong Shangjiao knew without thinking that the laugh came from Gong Yuanzheng.

Since Gong Yuanzheng came to his side, he has always behaved well and obediently, following him closely like a docile little lamb. Even if he occasionally smiled, it was always soft and gentle, appearing particularly reserved.

However, at this moment, when he heard this unrestrained laughter, Gong Shangjiao suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of sorrow welling up in his heart, and this feeling instantly filled his heart with bitterness.

"Brother!" Gong Yuanzheng turned around and saw Gong Shangjiao standing at the door. He quickly stood up and ran to him, pulling him to sit down.

"I just heard brother Yuanzheng's laughter at the door. What did he hear that made him laugh so happily?" Gong Shangjiao had already calmed down and was concerned about Gong Yuanzheng as usual.

"Brother Chen is telling me in vivid detail the interesting things that Brother Zhuo experienced on his journey to catch monsters! Moreover, he also mentioned many cute and interesting little monsters in the wilderness." Gong Yuanzheng was so excited that he danced with joy, and couldn't wait to share these wonderful stories with Gong Shangjiao without any omissions.

At this moment, Gong Shangjiao's eyes were as gentle as water, quietly gazing at the young man in front of him whose heart and eyes were filled with him. Somehow, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart, causing his deep eyes to gradually turn red, and crystal tears rolled in his eye sockets.

This sudden scene really frightened Gong Yuanzheng. Since he entered Gong Shangjiao's world at the age of five, so many years have passed, except for that heartbreaking day when the Wufeng organization brutally attacked their palace and brutally killed the kind and gentle Madam Ling, the lively and lovely brother Lang, and the brave and fearless Gong Hanjiao.

It was on that terrible day that he panicked and ran to Jiao Palace like a frightened deer to seek shelter. As he shivered and hid in the corner, he witnessed Gong Shangjiao standing alone in the empty and lonely courtyard, waving the gleaming long sword in his hand over and over again. Every time he swung the sword, it seemed as if he had used up all his strength; every movement seemed to carry endless grief and anger.

Until the end, the exhausted Gong Shangjiao finally couldn't hold on and knelt on the ground, but he still held the long sword tightly, refusing to relax. At this moment, Gong Shangjiao noticed Gong Yuanzheng in the corner, walked to his side and looked at Gong Yuanzheng, who had also lost his parents and became an orphan.

He heard Gong Shangjiao, who was hugging him, whisper in his ear, "From now on, you are my younger brother." At that moment, Gong Yuanzheng felt the tears falling from the corners of Gong Shangjiao's eyes dripping on his shoulder.

However, since then, even though Gong Yuanzheng returned from the palace after many hardships with his body covered with shocking scars, Gong Shangjiao's eyes were never seen red, let alone tears.

"Brother, why are you crying? Did they embarrass you again?" Gong Yuanzheng's face was full of anxiety, his hands tugged at the corners of his clothes in panic, his big eyes full of worry and concern. He was even a little at a loss, wondering in his heart whether the hateful Zhi Ren and those pedantic elders took the opportunity to embarrass his brother Gong Shangjiao after they left. When he thought of this, Gong Yuanzheng couldn't hold back his inner impulse, he stood up suddenly, and was about to rush out the door to have a good argument with those people.

However, just as he was about to take a step forward, a warm hand gently rested on his shoulder. Gong Shangjiao shook his head slightly, and said with a choked voice: "No, brother Yuanzheng. Zhiren and the others did not embarrass me." Hearing this, Gong Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief, but still stared at Gong Shangjiao, as if trying to see some clues from his expression.

Gong Shangjiao slowly raised his head and gazed tenderly at the energetic young boy in front of him. His eyes were full of love and satisfaction, as if he was admiring a unique treasure. He said softly: "The reason I shed tears is because I am too happy. My brother Yuanzheng can finally get rid of this small world and freely pursue the vast sky that belongs to him."

At this point, Gong Shangjiao couldn't help but recall the little things he had experienced with Gong Yuanzheng over the years. He had devoted all his efforts and energy to nurturing his younger brother. Now that he saw his younger brother about to spread his wings and fly high, the joy he felt was indescribable.

"Brother is just happy. Happy that my Yuanzheng will no longer be like a canary trapped in a cage, depressed in a small space. Instead, he can be like a bird flying freely in the sky, embracing the blue sky and chasing white clouds." Gong Shangjiao said as he reached out and gently stroked Gong Yuanzheng's hair, tears flashing in his eyes but a happy smile on his lips.

Hua Yu sat by the window lattice, drinking tea, leaning on Zhang Qiling's arms, with a medical book in her hand that she had found somewhere, reading it with great interest. However, her attention was always focused on Zhuo Yichen and Gong Yuanzheng's every move.

Hua Yu knew that if she wanted to completely free Gong Shangjiao's heart that was bound by the palace rules, she would have to take another drastic measure, but not now.
