Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Wu Xie was like being struck by a bolt from the blue, and was completely defeated by the shocking truth thrown out by Xie Yuchen. He stared at Xie Yuchen with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief, and his body trembled involuntarily. The next moment, Wu Xie suddenly turned around and ran towards the gate of Xie's house as if he had suddenly lost his mind.

Fatty Wang, who was not far behind him, followed closely with an anxious and worried look on his face. Along the way, Wu Xie did not even look back, and his pace became faster and faster, as if he wanted to leave all the pain and confusion far behind him.

"Fatty, I'm going to Wen Yue Garden." Wu Xie's voice was a little hoarse and desperate.

Fatty Wang nodded silently, without saying a word of rebuttal or consolation. He knew that any words would be pale and powerless at this moment, and only companionship could give Wu Xie a little comfort. So, the two of them stopped a taxi together in silence and went straight to Wen Yue Garden.

When the car stopped, Wu Xie slowly got out of the car. He raised his head and stared at the plaque hanging above the door lintel. The three characters "Wen Yue Yuan" were written in a vigorous and powerful style. However, at this moment, Wu Xie could not feel the joy brought by these three characters. Instead, he felt only endless sadness and bitterness in his heart.

He tried hard to force out a smile, but his facial muscles seemed to be stiff, and he could not complete this simple action no matter what. In the end, Wu Xie gave up trying to smile bitterly and walked into the garden with heavy steps.

Entering the garden, Wu Xie immediately saw Wu Sansheng sitting behind the counter, playing with the ivory ball in his hand. Wu Sansheng was smiling and looked calm, as if he was completely unaware of Wu Xie's arrival.

Wu Xie took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and said coldly: "What should I call you? Should I call you Uncle Third as I did before, when I was a foolish and ignorant child who was kept in the dark by you and played around by you? Or should I call you by your real name - Xie Lianhuan?" After saying that, Wu Xie stared at Wu Sansheng, with flames of anger and unwillingness burning in his eyes.

Faced with Wu Xie's aggressive questioning, Wu Sansheng paused for a moment. But soon, he returned to normal, still slowly fiddling with the ivory ball, and slowly raised his head to meet Wu Xie's hostile gaze.

"Wu Xie! No matter who I am now, there is no doubt about this - Xie Lianhuan has long died on the reefs of the Xisha Islands. The person standing in front of you at this moment is just an ordinary Wu Sansheng, and from now on he will only be Wu Sansheng forever." Wu Sansheng's voice was low and steady, like a pool of still water, which would not cause a ripple no matter how windy and rainy it was.

Wu Sansheng gently placed the exquisite ivory ball in his hand on the table beside him, and then walked slowly towards the depths of Wenyue Garden. When he was about to enter the garden, he suddenly stopped, looked back at Wu Xie who was still standing there in a daze, and raised his hand slightly to signal him to keep up with his pace.

Seeing this, Wu Xie's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm. He gritted his teeth and followed Wu Sansheng step by step. After walking for a while, Wu Xie finally couldn't help but say, "What about Xiaohua? You actually abandoned your own flesh and blood so easily! Then you ran towards a person who has no blood relationship with you without hesitation, and even gave up everything to care for him? Aren't you afraid that it's too unfair to Xiaohua by doing this?"

Hearing this, Wu Sansheng's body trembled noticeably, but he soon regained his composure. After pausing for a moment, he slowly turned his head, looked at Wu Xie with a somewhat evasive gaze, and said softly: "Xiaohua... Xiaohua will live a good life. Even if he doesn't have a loser father like me by his side, with his own abilities and blessings, he will definitely be able to live his life in peace and smoothly." After saying this, Wu Sansheng, as if afraid of being questioned again, quickly quickened his pace and continued to walk into the garden without looking back.

Wu Xie said nothing, just stared at Wu Sansheng's back in silence.

"Why did you bring me here?"

Wu Xie looked around the room that Wu Sansheng had brought him to. There were countless white papers and innumerable photos piled inside. The old photos had long turned yellow. On them were photos that Wu Sansheng, Chen Wenjin, and Huo Ling had taken at the Demon Lake in Banai, then the Xisha Underwater Tomb, and then there. Wu Xie looked at the photos one by one. He had been to every place in the photo.

"Why do you want me to walk through the same footprints you have walked through? Is it because of the person named Qi Yu in your team? Because I have the same face as him, write in the same handwriting? And have the same drug-making physique?"

Every time Wu Xie asked a question, Wu Sansheng trembled. He didn't seem to expect that Wu Xie had grown so fast.

Wu Sansheng suddenly seemed to have aged several dozen years, and his originally straight spine suddenly bent down, "You know everything. Wu Xie, your grandfather's generation has always lived under an invisible hand, and later you also know how much damage the incident in Siguniang Mountain caused to the Old Nine Sects!

At that time, the people above us threatened that we had to work for them, so Zhang Dafoye took people to ask for help from the former head of our family, but unfortunately the Nine Gates were not strong enough and they failed.

But this operation was too large, and no one had the ability to bear the consequences, so they excluded the Hong family and the Xie family, who were on good terms with Patriarch Zhang. The rest of the people, under the persuasion of Master Zhang Dafo, sent the seriously injured and unconscious Patriarch Zhang out as a scapegoat. "

While sorting out the scattered documents on the table, Wu Sansheng recounted an operation that the Nine Gates had once carried out.

"After all, Zhang Dafoye is an official who works for his superiors, and he is also a meritorious official. In view of his achievements, they will ensure that Zhang Dafoye is safe no matter what.

The Hong family has too many stores and has not been involved in such things for a long time, and Erye just played the role of a mascot in that incident, because with him his adopted son was able to bring countless equipment, so Erye would not be in any trouble at all.

Although the third master of the Li family did not have any background, he dealt with many parties and had leverage over those people. So although the third master Li withdrew, he also destroyed some of the leverage in his hands.

The Fourth Master of the Chen Family did not have any roots here, and the people from the Old Nine Gates looked down on Chen Pi, so they only arranged for him to do some logistical work.

Our Wu family is of humble origins, and the only person we have dealt with is Zhang Dafoye. But at that time, he was under guard and could not even protect himself. Your grandfather gave up everything in Shacheng and ran to Hangzhou penniless. If it weren't for your grandmother who never left your grandfather, I'm afraid we wouldn't be alive.

Liu Ye was a loner who was later shot for revenge.

The Huo family also quickly withdrew back then, and Huo Xian Gu also picked an officer from her suitors to marry into the Huo family. I'm afraid that the Huo family will be one of the ones to be liquidated in the future.

Ba Ye was actually a fortune teller, and those people did not dare to offend the fortune teller, so Ba Ye later traveled around the country and eventually died in a foreign land.

Jiu Ye followed Er Ye to join Wan Chong Shan, and those people above him would let him go for the sake of Wan Chong Shan and his status as a well-known businessman."

Wu Xie's eyes widened, and he listened in disbelief as Wu Sansheng slowly recounted the sins committed when the Nine Sects gathered together. Every word was like an ice thorn, piercing his heart fiercely, making him feel chilled to the bone like never before.

"So that's how it is..." Wu Xie muttered to himself, his voice trembling and low, "They actually pushed the seriously injured Zhang family head as a scapegoat at that critical moment! Why was the respected and powerful Zhang family head seriously injured? Wasn't it to rescue you ungrateful people! Moreover, wasn't it Zhang Qishan who personally came forward to beg for help during that risky operation? But in the end, you sold him out without mercy. What kind of despicable act is this!"

At this point, Wu Xie pointed at Wu Sansheng in anger and shouted, "And you! How could you hide the truth from me so comfortably? In the palace of Prince Lu, you pretended to be indifferent, saying that you were doing it for my own good, but you did such a disgusting thing behind my back!"

At this moment, Wu Xie's chest was heaving violently, and his eyes were burning with anger. He stared at the person in front of him whom he once regarded as a relative, and his heart was filled with disappointment and anger. Facing Wu Xie's questioning and rebuke, Wu Sansheng just lowered his head and said nothing, as if he had tacitly acknowledged all the crimes.

"No wonder the young master treated us like that! Thinking back to the scene at that time, I still feel indignant and keep wondering in my heart whether the young master's attitude towards us was too excessive! You know, we have never met them before and have no intersection with each other. But why does he hate us so much? It is really puzzling! However, now, everything is finally revealed! It turned out to be like this! It turned out to be like this! It turned out that all of this was caused by the sins committed by the older generation! The debts you owed were not willing to be repaid, but in the end, all retribution fell on us young people!"

Wu Xie stretched out his hands in rage, tightly grasping the stack of photos, as if they were the objects of his rage. He gritted his teeth and tore off the photos one by one with all his strength. With a series of crisp sounds, the photos were ruthlessly torn into countless tiny pieces. Then, Wu Xie continued to tear the pieces in his hands one by one, as if he was crazy, as if only in this way could he calm down the surging anger in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, the fragments turned into flying snowflakes, falling from the sky. Some of them happened to fall on Wu Sansheng's face, instantly covering his features; and more fragments fell on Wu Xie's face like raindrops, making his originally clear features gradually become blurred.

"I have never really seen your face clearly! Similarly, I have never been able to see my own face clearly!" Suddenly, Wu Xie seemed to have made a major decision and pushed open the tightly closed door. In an instant, the warm and pleasant sunlight outside the door poured into the house like a tide, illuminating the entire room.

"The Wu family has long been rotten and terminally ill! Huo Xian Gu was right. The Wu family should have disappeared long ago and ceased to exist!" After saying that, Wu Xie took a big step without looking back and walked straight to the door. With each step, he was farther away from Wu Sansheng. Wu Sansheng could only stare at Wu Xie's back with wide eyes, until he completely disappeared from his sight...
