Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

"Xiaohua, we are not with you now. If you really encounter any dangerous situation, we will be unable to help you even if we want to. So you are alone outside, and no matter what you do, you must pay extra attention to your own safety. In addition, remember to be careful of Di Xin and Qin Fuguang." At this moment, Hua Yu was in the middle world where there was no one in charge, chaos and disorder, and there was no way for her to protect Xie Yuchen in all aspects as before.

"Dad! What's going on? Why do you say that?" Xie Yuchen asked puzzled. He really couldn't understand why his dad, who always loved him, would suddenly ask him to be wary of Grandpa Di and Grandpa Qin. After all, in his impression, these two elders had always been caring and doting on him.

"Child, this matter is too complicated to explain clearly at once. But no matter what, you must remember what your father said to you today. Especially when facing Emperor Xin and Qin Fuguang, you must be more cautious. When talking to them, you must be more careful about everything. Even if it is just ordinary verbal exchanges, you can't tell everything without reservation. When you speak and do things, 60% should be kept in the open, and 40% should be kept in your heart. Never show it to others easily." Hua Yu repeatedly reminded Xie Yuchen tirelessly, asking him to be vigilant against the former King Zhou Di Xin and the great emperor Qin Fuguang.

Although Xie Yuchen was still confused by his father's warning, out of trust and respect for his father, he finally nodded solemnly, saying that he would definitely listen to Hua Yu's request and be careful at all times just in case.

"Xiaohua, if you really encounter some force majeure and you are powerless to do anything, remember to take the sandalwood box on the right side of your father's study, and then go to Changbai Mountain to find the mountain tiger. The mountain tiger will take you to a safe place." Hua Yu instructed Xie Yuchen again with a worried look on her face, as if she was afraid of missing anything, just to arrange all possible retreat routes for her son.

"Dad, don't worry! I've taken note of it. Now the Wang family has been arrested. Although the black hand hiding behind the scenes and manipulating everything has not yet revealed their fox tails, as long as they are still active, they will definitely leave some clues. As long as we find some, the other party will definitely not escape punishment." Xie Yuchen smiled and comforted Hua Yu softly, trying to calm his inner uneasiness and worries.

Until the water mirror in front of him slowly dissipated, Hua Yu still had a frown on his face and a serious expression, and the ominous premonition in his heart still lingered.

He intuitively felt that a huge storm was brewing, but no matter how hard he thought, he could not figure out where the critical node was.

The only person who could make him so upset was Xie Yuchen who was in a distant little world.

After all, Zhuo Yichen and Gong Yuanzheng, who were nearby, were under his close care. If anything unexpected really happened to them, he would be able to rush to their side in the blink of an eye to lend a helping hand and protect them.

However, Xiaohua is different from Zhuo Yichen and Gong Yuanzheng. With his current strength, he cannot break through the barriers between worlds like his father Hongjun and his father Luohou, and can travel freely in any world.

Hua Yu understood this sudden palpitation very well. After all, he was not a mortal who would break at the slightest touch. The palpitations that mortals experienced might just be due to the emotional bond between family members or a serious illness. But for someone like him who was on the path of cultivating immortality, this palpitation often meant that a major life-threatening event was about to happen.

How could he take it lightly in such a situation? He had to take strict precautions! So, Hua Yu couldn't help but pray in his heart: "I hope everything is just my overthinking!" While speaking, he subconsciously held Zhang Qiling's hand tightly, as if only in this way could he slightly ease his inner anxiety.

At this moment, Zhang Qiling sensed Hua Yu's nervousness. She gently embraced Hua Yu and said to him in a soothing voice, "Ayu, don't worry too much. Don't forget that you have already told Xiaohua the location of that crucial item. If he really encountered any unexpected danger, even if he did not bring that item to seek help from the tiger, Uncle Liu and Uncle Yang would certainly be able to detect that he was in danger with their keen perception and protect him in time."

"Daddy! Second Daddy! I..." Zhuo Yichen shouted as he hurriedly pushed open the door. However, the scene in front of him made him freeze in his tracks. Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling were hugging each other tightly, and there was an indescribable atmosphere of intimacy between them.

"Uh... that... I took Yuanzheng to the small garden. I rushed here just now and didn't have time to take a good look." Zhuo Yichen came to his senses and said stutteringly. Before he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Gong Yuanzheng, who was blocked behind him and had not yet seen the situation in the house, and turned around and ran out the door.

Along the way, Zhuo Yichen walked quickly, dragging the confused Gong Yuanzheng all the way to the pavilion in the small garden. The servants guarding the pavilion seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When they saw the two of them coming, they quickly and skillfully served all kinds of exquisite tea and snacks.

"Second brother! Why did you pull me and run just now? Did you see something strange?" Gong Yuanzheng finally steadied his body. He tilted his cute little head and looked at Zhuo Yichen with a puzzled look on his face. His big eyes blinked with curiosity.

Zhuo Yichen blushed slightly when he heard this, and the tips of his ears instantly turned red, like a ripe apple. He avoided Gong Yuanzheng's clear and innocent eyes in a panic, and said hesitantly: "No... nothing, just now Dad and Second Dad may be discussing important things, let's not disturb them for now, let's go find them later!" As he said this, Zhuo Yichen, as if to cover up his embarrassment, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that Zhuo Yichen didn't seem to be lying, Gong Yuanzheng believed him.

"Just now, we found a lot of medicinal herbs in the back mountain of Zhuo Mansion. Can I take them back when I return to the palace?" Gong Yuanzheng suddenly remembered the rare medicinal herbs they found in the back mountain of Zhuo Mansion with Old Wang in the morning.

"Of course you can! Yuanzheng, Zhuo Mansion is your home too. Do you need to ask about things in your own home? Even if you empty out the back mountain, when you come back from the palace, it will grow again, and there will be other varieties." Zhuo Yichen held Gong Yuanzheng's milky face and rubbed it.

"Yuanbao, are you bullying your brother?" As soon as Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling came out, they saw Zhuo Yichen pinching Gong Yuanzheng's face.

"Daddy! How could you bully your younger brother? You love your younger brother so much! Aren't you teaching him? Why do you need to ask about taking things from home?" Zhuo Yichen put down his hands that were kneading Gong Yuanzheng's cheek.

"You! You say every day that you have grown up and can participate in collecting monsters. I see that you have grown older, but your heart is still like that of a three-year-old child." Hua Yu pinched the nipples of Zhuo Yichen and Gong Yuanzheng that had not disappeared.

"Tell me! What did you take a fancy to this time with your brother?"

"Daddy! Yuanbao can't be like daddy, that's why I brought my brother to see you!" Zhuo Yichen pulled Gong Yuanzheng and cuddled together beside Hua Yu.

Hua Yu just sneered, "I know how capable you are. Tell me, what do you like in my private library this time?"

"Dad! Look, my brother has lived in that shabby place for thirteen years. He's almost gone crazy and hasn't seen any good things. I want to take my brother to your private vault to broaden his horizons!" After hearing this, Hua Yu looked at Gong Yuanzheng who didn't know what to do.

Hua Yu looked carefully and found that the clothes looked very luxurious, but they were made of ordinary fabrics that could be bought by ordinary merchants with a little money. The really expensive ones, such as the tribute to the royal family, were only mentioned once or twice in conversations between merchants, and only certain royal merchants could make them.

"It just so happens that I just got a batch of cloth. It's woven by Yunniang, a famous craftswoman in Dahuang. It's invulnerable to swords and guns, and can't be attacked by poisons or water or fire. I'll ask your uncle Lu to get some for you later. When you take it home, ask your brother to find a skilled craftsman to make you some clothes with some pearls tributed by the clam monster." Hua Yu flipped through his memories and remembered some novel things that Dahuang had tributed some time ago.

"Do you have moon-white fabric? My brother wears dark clothes all day long in that place, so bright-colored clothes will bring out his complexion better." Zhuo Yichen found that compared to the dark clothes that Gong Yuanzheng had always worn in the palace, the light-colored clothes that Gong Yuanzheng wore after coming to Tiandu looked better.

"The colors delivered this time are varied. You can take your brother to choose by yourself when the time comes. Even if you want colorful black, you can find it in this batch." Hua Yu looked at Zhuo Yichen, who couldn't wait to take Gong Yuanzheng to search the private vault, and no longer restrained him. With a wave of her hand, a vortex appeared in front of them.

Zhuo Yichen dragged the hesitant Gong Yuanzheng and jumped directly into the whirlpool, "Brother Yuanzheng, let's go! I finally got the chance to come here in your presence, I'll pick out some treasures from daddy's private vault for you." After saying that, Zhuo Yichen dragged Gong Yuanzheng straight to the most inconspicuous boxes in the corner.

"Second brother, isn't this a bit bad? After all..." Gong Yuanzheng was still a little scared.

Zhuo Yichen didn't even look back. He just opened all the wooden boxes and waved at Gong Yuanzheng. "What are you afraid of? I don't know how many pearls and jades my father has in his private vault. Just look at those pearls and jades we saw when we walked over. I don't know how many there are. The better ones are the pearls made by the clam monsters in the wilderness. They are all very big and beautiful. In addition to being big and beautiful and glowing, they only have the effect of beautifying the skin."

Zhuo Yichen suddenly discovered something and reached into the wooden box to pull something out. "This is good. You can use it in making poisons and antidotes in the future." After saying that, he stuffed it directly into Gong Yuanzheng's hand.

Gong Yuanzheng looked at the small and exquisite puppet in his hand?

"What's so special about this puppet!" Gong Yuanzheng fiddled with the puppet's arms and found that the puppet was just like a human, except that it had no life.

"This is made by the great demon Cheng Huang. It looks exactly like a human being. It's called a synesthesia puppet." Zhuo Yichen explained the use of the puppet to Gong Yuanzheng in detail. "As long as you drop a drop of your blood on it, everything you do to the puppet will be transmitted to you in every detail, and you won't get any damage."

After listening to Zhuo Yichen's introduction, Gong Yuanzheng looked at the ordinary puppet in his hand with shining eyes.
