Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

At noon, Gong Yuanzheng had just finished lunch in the Corner Palace and was lying on a chair with his eyes squinting, enjoying the rare good sunshine in the palace gate. Gong Yuanzheng only heard a "bang" and the dust on his head fell from the house.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Jin Fu rushed in with his guards.

Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng stood up immediately, looked at each other and went outside.

Looking from the corner palace, we can see the guard camp. The entire guard camp is shrouded in dust.

"Jin Fu, take people to check out what happened in the Guards Camp. Was it the eldest lady...did the pillars of the training camp break during the training of the Guards Camp?" Gong Shangjiao thought of Gong Zishang first, but recently he heard from them that Gong Zishang was very well-behaved and had been staying in her Shang Palace.

Jin Fu took the order and took a few guards to investigate the situation.

"Brother Yuanzheng, what happened?" Zhuo Yixuan also rushed over from Zheng Palace.

Gong Yuanzheng saw that only Zhuo Yixuan was there, but he didn't see Zhuo Yichen and the monkey. He couldn't help but feel curious, "Brother, where is Brother Chen? And the white monkey?"

Just as Zhuo Yixuan was about to answer, he heard Zhuo Yichen running over in a panic, "Brother!"

Zhuo Yixuan and the two brothers of the Gong family looked over and saw that the young master who was so exquisite and handsome in the morning was now running back covered in dust and dirt.

"Xiaochen, what's wrong? Where did you get into trouble and come back?" Zhuo Yixuan cast a spell to clean the dust off Zhuo Yichen's body and hair.

"Brother! I didn't mean it. They provoked me first, so I fought back." Zhuo Yichen widened his cat eyes and said angrily.

"What is this, Young Master Zhuo?" Gong Shangjiao pieced together something from Zhuo Yichen's words.

"Yuan Zheng, the martial arts of the guards at your palace gate are too poor. None of them can fight well." Zhuo Yichen looked at Gong Yuan Zheng as if he had found someone to talk to.

"So? The Imperial Guard Battalion is..." Gong Yuanzheng swallowed the words he hadn't finished.

"After lunch, I just wanted to stroll around in your beautiful little garden with Zhu Yan to relax. I never thought that when we passed by your guard camp, suddenly, I don't know who the guy was, he started to sneer and challenge me." While Zhuo Yichen was speaking, he deliberately glanced at Gong Yuanzheng who was standing next to him.

Gong Yuanzheng was confused when he saw him like this, and he didn't understand why Zhuo Yichen looked at him like this. However, Zhuo Yixuan and Gong Shangjiao knew the reason.

"So, Xiaochen, in a fit of rage, you directly dismantled the entire guard camp at the palace gate?" Zhuo Yixuan, who was sitting behind Zhuo Yichen at this time, stretched out his hand and gently smoothed Zhuo Yichen's tangled hair, and then skillfully braided it into exquisite little braids, and carefully hung small and exquisite bells on them.

"Humph, that's right! It's obvious that they are not as skilled as others. They even refused to admit their defeat. What's worse is that these guys are too weak. Even if they all swarmed over me, they still couldn't beat me!" Zhuo Yichen became more and more angry as he spoke. He continued angrily, "Zhu Yan and I were too lazy to care about them and were ready to turn around and leave, but these rude guys actually took advantage of our unpreparedness and launched a sneak attack! This really pissed off Zhu Yan, and in a rage, he even tore down the house they lived in!"

Hearing this, Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng looked at each other, obviously shocked by Zhuo Yichen's unfathomable martial arts. However, after hearing this, Zhuo Yixuan's face showed no surprise at all, as if he had expected such a thing to happen.

Zhuo Yichen turned his head and looked at Gong Yuanzheng, "Brother Yuanzheng, are all the guards at your palace gate so useless? How can such weak guards protect you? Is there anyone in your palace gate who is stronger than them? Can I have a sparring match with them?"

"Lord Zhuo! Young Master Zhuo?" Gong Shangjiao had never expected that the hundred or so men in the guard camp could not beat a man who had not yet reached adulthood. Fortunately, the Zhuo family was not an enemy, otherwise Gong Men's face would have been torn off and thrown to the ground and stepped on.

"Xiaochen has been learning swordsmanship from his second father. Because what we have to deal with are the monsters in the wilderness, and those guards are just mortals. It is completely reasonable that they cannot beat Xiaochen." Zhuo Yixuan was not surprised at all that Gong Shangjiao raised such a question.

"Brother Chen, if I go to Tiandu, can I be as awesome as you?" Gong Yuanzheng blinked his big eyes and looked at Zhuo Yichen expectantly, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

Zhuo Yichen was stared at by Gong Yuanzheng with such a fiery gaze that he was a little at a loss for a moment. He scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Second Daddy's training is extremely hard, and if you don't meet his requirements a little bit, it will hurt so much. I once didn't do well enough and he beat me so hard that my legs were swollen." As he said this, Zhuo Yichen touched his calves with lingering fear.

"Yuanzheng, regarding this issue, you can go and ask Mr. Zhang in person after you arrive in Tiandu. But shouldn't the most urgent thing right now be to find a way to properly resolve the trouble caused by Xiaochen?" Zhuo Yixuan interrupted Gong Yuanzheng's intention to continue asking questions at the right time.

"Master Jiao, Master Zheng, Zhi Ren and the elders have invited you, please come quickly. In addition, Lord Zhuo and Master Zhuo II, please also come with us." The man who spoke stood there with his head held high, wearing a bright red jade on his hand, which sparkled brightly under the sunlight.

After hearing this, Zhuo Yixuan and Zhuo Yichen simultaneously cast their eyes towards the newcomer. They saw that the newcomer had an arrogant look on his face, which made the two brothers feel dissatisfied. They looked at each other and frowned involuntarily.

"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid he has bad intentions." Zhuo Yixuan thought to himself. With his understanding of the current situation, he could guess the purpose of this summons without thinking too much.

Zhuo Yichen, who was standing by, was even more angry, with his mouth pouting. He glared at Zhuo Yixuan indignantly and said, "Brother! It was obviously those guards who provoked me first, but after I defeated them, they even resorted to underhanded tactics and attacked from behind. Now, they can't stand losing and are running to complain. This is simply too much!" Zhuo Yichen had not seen many people since he was a child, and he had always been by Zhuo Yixuan's side, so he really couldn't say anything bad about them.

Okay, Xiaochen, no matter what, this time it was because you accidentally collapsed someone's house, so it's normal for Mr. Gong and the others to come and ask about the situation. Zhuo Yixuan gently patted Zhuo Yichen's shoulder and patiently comforted the little guy who was throwing a tantrum.

At this time, Zhu Yan came forward very tactfully, holding a cup of steaming hot tea in his hand. He handed the cup to Zhuo Yichen and said with a smile: "Come on, my young master, drink a cup of tea to calm down first, don't get angry." Zhuo Yichen took the tea and took a sip. The warm tea seemed to have really eased his mood a little.

Zhuo Yixuan turned his head to look at Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng who were standing beside him, and said, "In that case, Mr. Jiao, Yuanzheng, let's go together. Oh, by the way, I would like to take this opportunity to bid farewell to you two, especially Lord Zhiren. I plan to set off back to Tiandu tomorrow." After saying that, he nodded slightly towards Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng as a gesture of approval.

So, the four people plus a monkey stood up together, closely followed the Red Jade Guard who led the way, and slowly walked towards the Blade Hall. Along the way, no one said much, only the sound of light footsteps echoed in the silent corridor.

Not long after, the group finally arrived in front of the Blade Master Hall. When they pushed open the door and walked into the hall, a heavy and oppressive atmosphere instantly hit them. In the center of the spacious hall, in addition to Gong Hongyu, the high and mighty Blade Master, sitting on the main seat, there were also three highly respected elders, Xue, Yue, and Hua, sitting on both sides.

In addition, on one side of the palace, there were two young men standing upright, one tall and one short. The taller one had a stern face and sharp eyes, while the shorter one looked a little silly, like an old ox, with a faint smile on his face. Finally, near the door, there stood a plump woman with a blessed face and a sweet smile.

"Hold the blade, Elder Xue, Elder Yue, Elder Hua, and Young Master." Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng bowed deeply and respectfully toward the four people on the stage and the slightly older man below the stage.

At the same time, Zhuo Yixuan and Zhuo Yichen also clasped their fists and bowed to Gong Hongyu and the three elders, but their eyes did not linger for too long. Zhu Yan stood quietly behind the two of them, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, one hand behind his back, the other hand naturally placed on his abdomen, the whole person looked calm and relaxed.

At this time, Gong Hongyu slowly said: "Master Zhuo, Second Young Master Zhuo. There is a reason why you are invited here today. The guard camp collapsed just now, and we have sent people to inquire about the reason. According to those guards, it was Second Young Master Zhuo who relied on his own unfathomable martial arts to provoke them and collapsed the house to humiliate everyone." After that, Gong Hongyu glanced at the people in front of him sharply, thinking in his heart: How much real ability can such a young Zhuo Yichen have? Presumably, this matter was mostly done by the mysterious demon Zhu Yan behind him.
