Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling are enjoying the rare leisure time without the baby. It is the peaceful, undisturbed world of two that they have wanted for all these years.

Ever since they went to that small world, they have never had the chance to be alone together, even if it was just to simply appreciate the night view and have a cup of tea.

After they arrived at the small world of tomb robbers, either Zhang Qiling was always busy with the Zhang family's trivial matters, or because of the interference of the people behind the scenes, the two of them were separated for ten years.

Because of Pangu's evil interference, Hua Yu's magic had no effect at all in any world. She was even seriously injured because of him. She could only return to the bronze door where she was not disturbed by him and was protected by the Heavenly Dao to heal her wounds.

Even after Hua Yu recovered from his injuries and left the bronze gate, he had been looking for his traces. He went up and down the sky, climbed mountains and crossed the sea. Although he traveled in between, he always encountered some inevitable people and things.

Now, although they used the special geographical location of the Zhang family's ancient building to severely damage Pangu's evil thoughts, they were also teleported by him to this middle world that was not taken over by any gods.

Only here could they enjoy a moment of peace, although such peace was gained by him alone guarding a person, a demon, and a soul for hundreds of thousands of years. But he cherished such time very much, because he never knew when they would return to that small world.

"Brother, what do you think Xiaohua is doing now? No matter where he was or what he was doing before, we were all by his side, but now we..." Hua Yu sat on the swing that Zhang Qiling had made for him, looking at the small garden planted by Li Lun.

"Xiaohua is not a child anymore. He already has the ability to protect himself, and I believe that Xiaohua is absolutely capable of handling everything he should bear. Don't underestimate Xiaohua, he is a hundred times more powerful than you think." Zhang Qiling gently pushed Hua Yu and comforted him.

Before Hua Yu could finish her words, Zhang Qiling stopped her, "Ah Yu, you have to believe that Xiao Hua is capable of handling everything."

"I see."

"We have been together for so long, and we haven't really enjoyed the evening breeze for a long time. While this is a rare opportunity, we should also enjoy our days, right?"

Hua Yu thought about it and it made sense, "This is our own time, we don't have to think about those messy and annoying things."

Hua Yu lay on the swing with her eyes closed, feeling the breeze brushing across her cheeks. The tip of her nose was still filled with the earthy smell of the soil in front of her and the fragrance of the sea of ​​flowers. In her ears were the clear and melodious singing of birds and the sound of water flowing in the nearby pond.

Zhang Qiling gently pushed the swing for him, his eyes looking tenderly at Hua Yu who was in a light sleep.

After their last chat, Li Lun settled down there with peace of mind. He has been staying in the back hills, planting trees and flowers, raising birds, and playing with cats. His life is quite enjoyable.

He suddenly realized that the world was not as bad as he had imagined. It was just that he was unlucky. He met the worst person when he was born, and was bewitched and deceived by him, so that he went against his oath to protect the wilderness.

Now, he has been looking for and cultivating plants and animals that can survive in the wilderness. He wants to cultivate them and then bring them to the wilderness to bring different colors to the desolate wilderness.

However, before that, what he has to do is to make up for the mistakes he has made.

Zhuo Yixuan and his companions rested for a night and set out again.

"Expedition, we still have thirty miles to go before we reach Tiandu, and we will be home soon." Zhuo Yixuan looked at the scenery that was becoming more and more familiar.

"Home?" Gong Yuanzheng's home no longer exists since it was destroyed five years ago, but now someone tells him that he will be returning home soon.

"Yes! Zhuo Mansion will be Yuanzheng's home from now on, and Yuanzheng will no longer be a homeless child." Zhuo Yixuan saw through Gong Yuanzheng's heart at a glance.

When he was at the palace gate, he realized that Gong Yuanzheng isolated himself from everyone else. Except for Gong Shangjiao, who protected him and gained his trust and recognition, he treated the rest of the people just as his own clansmen.

Before the sun set, Zhuo Yixuan and his group arrived at Tiandu City.

"Commander Zhuo!" The gatekeeper saw Zhuo Yixuan's iconic face.

"I found the orphan of the eldest daughter of the Zhuo family who had been missing for a long time, my cousin. This time I brought him back to stay for a while. You can check it out at will, but there are women from my cousin's family in the carriage, so please pay attention during the investigation." Zhuo Yixuan dismounted and briefly explained the situation of the convoy to the soldiers guarding the city.

"I believe in Commander Zhuo's character. He will naturally not bring in those bad people." The soldiers guarding the city had naturally heard of Commander Zhuo, the world-famous Demon Collector, and they immediately opened the city gates to let them in.

"Thank you very much, soldier over there!" Zhuo Yixuan bowed to the soldiers guarding the city, then mounted his horse and led his men straight to Zhuo Mansion.

At the gate of Zhuo's house, the housekeeper had already received a letter saying that Zhuo Yixuan and Zhuo Yichen would be back with the eldest lady's child today, and he was waiting at the door early in the morning.

"Butler Liu, it's the eldest young master! The eldest young master has returned with the younger young master and the cousin!" After the servant saw Zhuo Yixuan at the city gate, he immediately ran back to the Zhuo Mansion to report to the butler.

"Good good!"

Butler Liu said yes three times in a row, and then instructed the maid behind him, "It's late today, the young master and his family must not have had dinner yet. Taohong, you and Liulu go to the kitchen to take a look."

"Dongxue, you and Chunfeng, go check that the guest rooms prepared for the guests are ready!"

"Qiuye, you and Chunhua go check that the young master's room is clean!"

Butler Liu gave out instructions one after another, and the maids behind him, with their respective subordinates, carried out the inspection in an orderly manner.

"Master, are you safe along the way? And so is my cousin!"

As soon as Zhuo Yixuan arrived at the door, before he even got off his horse, Butler Liu grabbed his arm and asked about the situation.

"Uncle Liu! I missed you so much!" Zhuo Yichen saw the familiar butler as soon as he got out of the carriage.

"Hey! My little master! You must have suffered a lot along the way! You have never been away from home far, how can you stand the bumpy journey?" Butler Liu grabbed Zhuo Yichen, turned him left and right, and looked him up and down.

"This must be our cousin! Just as the eldest master wrote in the letter, he and the youngest master are like twins." Butler Liu saw Gong Yuanzheng who was blocked by Zhuo Yichen, and hurried forward to see if he was feeling uncomfortable due to the bumpy road.

"My dear cousin, have you felt unwell along the way? If so, please tell me immediately so that I can arrange for Master Zhang to come and take a look at you." Butler Liu frowned as he watched.

"Master, this cousin is too thin. Is it because the man the eldest daughter married was from a poor family? How could such a good child become so skinny?" Butler Liu pinched the arm in his hand and found something wrong.

"No, let's go! Follow Uncle Liu to the dining place. Uncle Liu is going to make Old Xu, the glutton, bleed. He always brags about what delicious food he has eaten. The whole world and the wilderness combined are not as delicious as his tongue." Butler Liu grabbed one person in each hand and walked straight into the mansion.

Gong Yuanzheng was somewhat uncomfortable with such enthusiasm. He looked at Zhuo Yixuan, wanting him to save him. He also wanted to break free from the iron-like grip, but after struggling for a long time, there was no sign of loosening.

Gong Yuanzheng couldn't help but sigh, maybe their palace sect really has many shortcomings, even a housekeeper of Zhuo Mansion is so skilled in martial arts. Their palace sect has always been complacent and thinks that no one in the world can surpass them.

"Yuanzheng, just go with Uncle Liu without any worries! Uncle Liu is the one who watched Xiaochen and I grow up, and he's also an old man in the mansion who grew up with my father. He won't do anything to you." After Zhuo Yixuan comforted Gong Yuanzheng, he watched the three of them leave.

Zhuo Yixuan turned around and looked at the three siblings of Gong Huanyu who had come behind him, "Master Huanyu, Master Ziyu, and Miss Zishang, please come this way!"

Zhuo Yixuan took Gong Huanyu, Gong Ziyu and Gong Zishang to the guest house first. They entered from the gate, passed a pond, passed a small garden, and then passed a rockery pond, and finally arrived at the guest house.

"This is Master Huanyu's courtyard. Master Ziyu's courtyard is right next to Master Huanyu's. Miss Zishang's female guest courtyard is a little far from here, but not far."

Zhuo Yixuan took the lead and brought Gong Huanyu and Gong Ziyu to the gate of their courtyard.

The three siblings Gong Huanyu looked at the courtyard which was as big as their own palace, but it was just a guest house in Zhuo's mansion.

"Lord Zhuo is so polite. My brother Zi Yu and I can live in the same courtyard. We don't need to have our own courtyard." Gong Huanyu refused to live separately from Gong Zi Yu, and requested that Gong Zi Yu live in the same courtyard with him.

"Young Master Huanyu really cares for his younger brother." Gong Huanyu still listened to Zhuo Yixuan's double-entendre words. He knew in his heart that the people in Zhuo's house must have investigated the palace thoroughly a long time ago.

Gong Yuanzheng's life trajectory and living conditions in the palace must have been investigated carefully without missing a single clue.

He also admitted that because Wu Feng attacked the palace gate, all the direct and collateral branches of Zheng Palace died, leaving only Gong Yuanzheng as the only descendant. After the war, they were busy repairing the damaged part of the palace gate, which led to the neglect of Zheng Palace, resulting in Gong Yuanzheng being bullied by his subordinates.

Later, they learned from Gong Shangjiao that the group of servants stole the gold, silver and jade prepared by Madam Xin for Gong Yuanzheng, made him eat bran and wild vegetables, withheld his monthly salary, and did not prepare any supplies for him to survive the winter.

If Gong Yuanzheng had not cleverly found Gong Shangjiao, who had also lost his parents and brother, and received his protection, they would have probably forgotten about Gong Yuanzheng long ago. No wonder they were angry.

"I am truly ashamed of Lord Zhuo's care for my younger brother. If it weren't for our negligence, such a thing wouldn't have happened." Gong Huanyu said with his head down in annoyance.

"In that case, I will have my servants deliver all the necessary items for the two gentlemen, as well as your guards and maids." Zhuo Yixuan did not respond to Gong Huanyu's show of guilt.

"Miss Zishang, I'll take you to the ladies' courtyard." Zhuo Yixuan turned around to look at Gong Zishang and took her in another direction.

Gong Zishang looked back at Gong Huanyu who was still immersed in regret and Gong Ziyu who was confused. She actually understood what Zhuo Yixuan meant by taking care of his younger brother. It was probably related to Gong Yuanzheng.

However, looking at Gong Ziyu's ignorant expression, he might have already forgotten the massacre of the palace gate by Wu Feng five years ago.

She still remembers that her mother died at Wufeng's hands while protecting her, and her father's legs were also made by Wufeng, which led to her father's unstable temperament now.

She also remembered the Lord of Jiao Palace, his wife, and their little son, who died at the hands of Han Yi Ke, one of the four great monsters of Wu Feng.

After the war, she saw the bodies of all the members of the Zheng Palace, including the bodies of the Palace Master of the Zheng Palace, Madam Xin, and the members of the Zheng Palace's side clans. Except for Gong Yuanzheng, who was protected and came to the secret passage, no one from the Zheng Palace survived.

She even saw the guards and maids who were once most familiar to her, also covered with white cloth, lying there motionless with deathly pale faces.
