Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

"Uncle Wu, I really can't imagine it. When you were planning this plan, didn't you foresee that there might be an outcome like today?" Xie Yuchen stared at Wu Erbai in front of him, his eyes full of doubt and confusion.

Wu Erbai smiled bitterly and said slowly, "Kid, we have certainly anticipated a more miserable ending than this one, but so what? We have no choice."

Xie Yuchen's eyes widened, and he raised his voice in disbelief, "So, you can send Wu Xie away so at ease, and then adopt those innocent children from all over the country, just to create someone who can replace Qi Yu? This behavior is simply outrageous!"

Facing Xie Yuchen's rebuke, Wu Erbai was silent for a moment, then calmly replied: "Yes, everything we did was to protect the Wu family and the remaining people in the Nine Gates.

At least, Wu Xie and the people from the Nine Gates are safe now, right?

And from now on, they no longer have to live under the surveillance of others, and can bask in the sunshine freely and pursue their own path. "

Xie Yuchen took a deep breath, turned his head and looked out the window, muttering to himself: "But, after going through so much, does the Wu family really have a future? Is there anyone left in the Nine Gates?"

At this time, Xie Yuchen turned his back to Wu Erbai, leaning slightly on the table, with his head slightly tilted, and looked at Wu Erbai again. Wu Erbai was still as calm and composed as before, as if he had a clear plan for all situations.

"At least as long as Wu Xie is alive and well, the Wu family will still exist and will definitely have a bright future. As for the other people in the Nine Gates, I can only say that I have tried my best." Wu Erbai said in a firm tone, his eyes revealing an unquestionable confidence.

"Even if the real Wu Xie no longer has the surname Wu? Let him live in ignorance like that, always thinking that he is just an orphan, picked up without a father or mother, taught a lot of skills, and finally used them on his own blood relatives?" Xie Yuchen didn't understand why they wanted to send Wu Xie to the Wang family, and then send him to Pangu through the Wang family.

"Uncle Wu, if Pangu is defeated, Wu Xie will surely die. Those people will never let go of any member of Pangu." The person who spoke looked at Wu Erbai in front of him with a worried look on his face, his voice full of anxiety and worry.

Wu Erbai stood there quietly, his eyes slightly moist, but revealing a kind of firmness and determination. He slowly said: "I know this in my heart, but fortunately before this, Wu Xie should have left Dragon Country safely. By then, the sky will be high and the land will be vast, allowing him to roam freely!" After saying this, Wu Erbai turned around and looked at Xie Yuchen affectionately and reluctantly, as if he was telling him his last words.

Xie Yuchen stared at Wu Erbai, and suddenly a bad feeling came over him. He asked tentatively, "Could it be that... you intend to use your own life as a price to ensure that Wu Xie can survive now?"

Wu Erbai nodded slightly, with a relieved smile on his face: "Yes, I know too many secrets, they will never let me go easily. If I can use my life to exchange for Wu Xie's safety, then even if I die, it will not be in vain."

At this moment, in Xie Yuchen's eyes, Wu Erbai seemed particularly open-minded and calm, as if he had suddenly let go of all his burdens and no longer had any concerns about anything in the world. He showed his innermost thoughts to Xie Yuchen without reservation, as if he was thoroughly analyzing himself.

"You actually want to end your life in one go? What about the piles of bones in the basement of the Wu family's old house? How can their wronged souls rest in peace? To whom can they tell about the injustice they have suffered? Their parents have traveled countless distances and shed endless tears in search of their children. These children originally had a hopeful and bright future, but because of your cruel plan, their young and vibrant lives came to an abrupt end without any warning!" Xie Yuchen was so angry that he was shaking all over. He leaned his hands on the shabby table in front of him, and glared at Wu Erbai, who had a cold face opposite him, with his eyes spitting fire.

"They didn't even have time to bloom before their tender roots were pinched off. So, who should be held responsible for their tragic deaths? Shouldn't it be your Wu family?" Xie Yuchen gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words.

Facing Xie Yuchen's questioning, Wu Erbai was silent for a moment and then slowly said: "The serious sins committed by the Wu family should naturally be borne by the Wu family. If I cannot escape this disaster in the end and unfortunately leave this world, then let me bear all the sins alone." After that, Wu Erbai stood up expressionlessly and walked towards the door of the visiting room without looking back.

Just as he was about to step out of the room, Wu Erbai suddenly stopped, looked back deeply at Xie Yuchen who was still in extreme anger, and said softly: "Xiaohua, in fact, you have always been a kind-hearted person. For Wu Xie, it was both a blessing and an unavoidable tragedy to have met and known you." Before he finished speaking, Wu Erbai resolutely walked out of the visiting room, leaving Xie Yuchen standing there alone with mixed feelings in his heart.

Even when Xie Yuchen got into the back seat of the car and returned home, he was still immersed in his conversation with Wu Erbai today.

"Hua'er! What's wrong with you? You look like you're worried about something?"

"I went to see Wu Erbai today."

Hei Xiazi's hand trembled as he poured himself some tea, and the tea spilled onto the table. "What did he say?"

"He said everything, but it seemed like he said nothing."

Xie Yuchen just quietly curled up in the sofa, looking at the ceiling with empty eyes.

"Xiaohua." Hei Xia Zi just called Xie Yuchen's name silently, but he didn't have the courage to continue.

"Hei Xia Zi, I think I only truly grew up after my father and the others left." Xie Yuchen turned over and curled up on his side.

"I used to think that I had grown up, so I didn't need to rely on my father and the others, and I could do everything. But I seemed to really... sometimes I felt lonely. When I was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, I would always wake up from a nightmare, and then before dawn the next day, I would pack myself up again and shoulder everything again as the head of the Xie family and the young master of Wanzhongshan."

Hei Xia Zi sat on the edge of the sofa, stretched out his hand and took Xie Yuchen into his arms, "Xiao Hua, time flows through everyone in the same way, but everyone spends time in different ways."

"We are all just passers-by in time. No one can stop time, but time can choose to take anyone away."

"Maybe we have to learn to give up, so fate makes those very important things leave us one after another. And life will not become easy, it just forces us to learn to accept and obey. Only then will you start to turn the tide, and you will see that there will be a time to ride the wind and waves, and set sail to cross the vast ocean. There are many things that you can accept within your ability, and it is normal to have more things that are beyond your ability."

Hei Xia Zi could only repeat what someone had said to him before to comfort Xie Yuchen.

Xie Yuchen buried his head in Heixiazi's arms. Heixiazi patted Xie Yuchen's back gently, feeling the wetness in his arms.

When Xie Yuchen saw Wu Xie again after a long time, he just sighed, "The name they gave you is like a spell. You should have lived innocently, but in the end you lost your innocence forever."

"In life, people talk about the good and the bad, but they don't realize that success and failure are limited, and gains and losses are hard to measure."

Wu Xie sat opposite Xie Yuchen, with the same smile on his face that Xie Yuchen had when they first met, but it had lost some of its sincerity and clarity, and was left with only exhaustion.

"Xie Yuchen, I also thought that I would meet someone who loves me at the right age and that I would be with the person I love for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, everything is just a passing cloud!"

"Wu Xie, you are growing up very fast, so fast that it makes people scared and also makes people feel distressed." Xie Yuchen looked at Wu Xie and suddenly laughed.

"Someone has to teach me how to grow up, but their methods are not worth my gratitude." Wu Xie picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.

Xie Yuchen looked at Wu Xie, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses. His posture and expression were very similar to Wu Erbai, who committed suicide in prison many years ago.
