Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Chapter 522

Xie Yuchen later didn't know how he talked to that woman. Anyway, he heard from others that the hotel was later renovated. As for the woman at the front desk, he didn't know what happened.

Thinking back to the present, Xie Yuchen looked with amusement at Zhao Yuanzhou, who was scratching his head but couldn't find a solution, and Wen Xiao, who was so anxious about the peace of the team that his mouth was full of blisters.

Even though Zhuo Yichen was completely focused on his brother, he was aware of some changes in the atmosphere in the team. But no matter who he asked, no one could explain it clearly, not even Zhao Yuanzhou, who always told him everything he knew.

"Brother Xiaohua, what do you think they are thinking? Why don't they want to tell me what happened to them after I asked everyone?"

Zhuo Yichen was a little depressed. He always thought that their team was very harmonious and everyone had their own strengths, just like a family.

Xie Yuchen naturally would not tell Zhuo Yichen the truth. After all, this matter had to be resolved by themselves. Otherwise, if they couldn't even resolve their own internal problems, how could they really deal with those difficult and complicated problems?

Xie Yuchen comforted Zhuo Yichen's injured heart, "Yuanbao, maybe they just think they can handle it, but they don't know where to start?"

"But I am also a member of the team and their leader. Shouldn't I know what conflicts there are between them?"

Zhuo Yichen was very dissatisfied with what Xie Yuchen said, "Brother Xiaohua, I am their leader and the captain of the team. If there is a conflict among the members, I should take the lead."

Zhuo Yichen still blamed himself for not noticing the conflict between Zhao Yuanzhou and the others earlier. "Brother Xiaohua, do you think I am not suitable to be their captain? Otherwise, why did I discover the conflict between them so late!"

Xie Yuchen certainly knew why Zhuo Yichen was the last one to know, because all of them were hiding it from him, not for any other reason or because they wanted him to be at ease accompanying his brother. They all knew how long it would take for Zhuo Yichen's brother to see Zhuo Yichen again.

"Yuanbao, you should let them resolve the conflict themselves. Not everything can be said out loud. Everyone has a secret in their heart that they don't want to tell others."

Fortunately, Zhuo Yichen did not dwell too much on this matter. When Zhao Yuanzhou and others realized that the conflict between him and Bai Jiu had affected the team, Bai Jiu took the initiative to talk to Zhao Yuanzhou and Wen Xiao.

"Zhao Yuanzhou, I took the initiative to talk to you not because I forgive you, but because I don't want Brother Xiao Zhuo to know about the conflict between us and affect the peace of our team."

Bai Jiu had a blank expression on his face, but there was a hint of struggle in his eyes. He and Zhao Yuanzhou sat face to face, and Wen Xiao sat on one side of them as a witness.

"Xiaojiu, I know. I'm really sorry about what happened to your mother! I'm also trying my best to make up for my mistakes. I know I can't make your sadness completely disappear, but I still want to make it up to you."

Bai Jiu was very excited, but was interrupted by Zhao Yuanzhou, "Your mother also heard from Lord Xiao Zhuo's brother before that she is the descendant of Baidi Shaohao and the Jianmu sacred tree, and the Bai Ze Ling was made from the Jianmu sacred tree."

Zhao Yuanzhou explained to Bai Jiu why his mother had changed back to her original form. "When the Bai Ze Ling was separated from the body of the previous Bai Ze Goddess Zhao Wan'er, Wen Xiao should have been able to directly inherit the Bai Ze Ling. But for some reason, Wen Xiao inherited the complete Bai Ze Ling but was unable to use it. Moreover, because he could not use the Bai Ze Ling, his body became weak."

Wen Xiao also added: "Xiao Jiu, you usually diagnose our pulses and have used many prescriptions, but my body is still getting weaker day by day, just like a broken porcelain, no matter how much water is poured into it, it will quietly flow out in an invisible place."

Bai Jiu knew Wen Xiao's physical condition very well. Not only he had taken Wen Xiao's pulse, but even Xiao Zhuo's younger brother had taken her pulse and prescribed medicine for her. However, she only felt better for a while, but after a while, she would start to become weak again.

"At that time, I helped Ran Yi because I wanted to use Ran Yi's ability to control dreams to find out whether there was a third person present when Wen Xiao succeeded Bai Ze Ling. But."

Zhao Yuanzhou and Wen Xiao looked at each other and sighed together, "We haven't seen everything yet, and Wen Xiao has already woken up, and he was woken up manually. But Wen Xiao and I also returned to the scene, but we didn't find any trace of the fifth person besides us and Ran Yi."

Bai Jiu opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out.

Ever since Xie Yuchen reminded Zhao Yuanzhou of the problem with his five senses, he quietly returned to the Great Wilderness and, with the help of Grandpa Yingzhao, completely solved the problem of his two blocked senses.

"Xiao Jiu, I know you are working for Chongwu Camp, but you can usually see what Chongwu Camp is doing privately. I think you should be very resistant to some of the Chongwu Camp's styles of doing things."

Zhao Yuanzhou once again brought out his cards. "Xiao Jiu, even without my reminder, do you think no one knows about your daily behavior? Except for Master Xiao Zhuo, who believes in you wholeheartedly, everyone else in the team has heard about it."

When Bai Jiu heard Zhuo Yichen's name, there was a slight fluctuation in his heart, "Me!"

Wen Xiao added fuel to the fire, "Xiao Jiu, your mother is the descendant of the sacred tree and the White Emperor Shaohao, and she has now returned to her original form, not dead, which means that she may still be able to return to her original appearance."

When Bai Jiu heard Wen Xiao mention his mother, the moment he raised his eyes, Wen Xiao saw expectation and trust in his eyes.

Zhao Yuanzhou knew Wen Xiao. She knew only a little about the Great Wilderness, which she learned from Zhao Wan'er. However, before she had learned much, she was forced to become the Goddess of Bai Ze, and a Bai Ze Goddess without any prestige at that.

Zhao Yuanzhou immediately spoke up to help Wen Xiao out. "Only if the Bai Ze Ling can be used, your mother can transform from the vine state back to human form. But the problem now is that the Bai Ze Ling cannot be used at all, and Ran Yi is already dead, and the scales on his body have lost their function."

Bai Jiu's heart instantly sank to the bottom. He got angry at Zhao Yuanzhou and Wen Xiao without thinking, "You guys have been talking to me for so long! In the end, isn't it true that you still can't save my mother?"

Bai Jiu knew in his heart that Wen Xiao was not to blame for this matter, but he could not control his temper and not take his anger out on her.

"You've been talking to me here for such a long time! You have been telling me your story and your helplessness! You are just making excuses for your incompetence!"

Zhao Yuanzhou hurriedly explained: "Xiaojiu! Listen to me first! I just want to explain to you why your mother became like this! Ran Yi's talent is only one of the ways. Another way is to find Cheng Huang! He has some magical instruments that can also control dreams."

Bai Jiu's emotions were slightly calmed down. "Is it really like you said! As long as we find Cheng Huang and solve Bai Ze Ling's problem, my mother can return to her original appearance?"

Zhao Yuanzhou answered Bai Jiu's question affirmatively, "Of course! Your mother and Bai Ze Ling are from the same sacred tree. The loss of Bai Ze Ling will naturally affect Lord Bai Yan, who is also a descendant of the sacred tree."

Bai Jiu lowered his head, his heart was in great torment. His master told him that as long as he got Zhu Yan's inner elixir, his mother would be able to come back to life, because his mother was devoured by a tree demon.

But now everyone is telling him that his mother is a demon! And it is the vine demon that he always thought swallowed his mother.

"Zhao Yuanzhou, I will trust you this time! If Bai Ze Ling is repaired and my mother is not restored to her original state, then you should give me your inner elixir as compensation!"

Although Zhao Yuanzhou was puzzled as to what Bai Jiu wanted his inner elixir for, he still agreed to Bai Jiu's conditions.

"Okay! I promise you! If you are worried, I can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao in front of the White Ze Goddess! If you break it, your soul will dissipate!"

Bai Jiu looked at the serious Zhao Yuanzhou. Although he hated Zhao Yuanzhou, because of him, his mother could no longer hug him, talk to him, play games with him, and could no longer find him no matter where he was as before.

However, Bai Jiu had worked with Zhao Yuanzhou for several years, and he knew very well that Zhao Yuanzhou was actually a very kind-hearted but beautiful demon. Although he always scared him on weekdays, whenever the team was in danger, he was always the first to rush to the front and stand together with Brother Xiao Zhuo to resist everything for them.

"No! I still believe what you say! I..." Bai Jiu didn't know what to say, because he didn't want Zhao Yuanzhou's life.

After Bai Jiu and Zhao Yuanzhou reached an agreement, when Zhuo Yichen paid attention to the situation in the team again, they were getting along as usual. Although Zhuo Yichen was a little confused, he didn't care much. After all, as Brother Xiaohua said, everyone has secrets in their hearts.

When Zhuo Yichen brought Xie Yuchen to the palace gate, Gong Yuanzheng had already been waiting at the gate with Li Lun. They were waiting for the carriage of the Demon Collection Bureau to stop and then they would rush forward immediately.

"Second brother! Brother Xiaohua!"

When Gong Yuanzheng opened the curtain, he saw Zhuo Yichen and Xie Yuchen sitting together in the carriage, looking at him with smiles.

"Yuanzheng! Long time no see!" Xie Yuchen looked at Gong Yuanzheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Looking at his chubby cheeks, he knew that the food was good on weekdays. He was a little fatter than the last time he came.

"Brother Xiaohua! It's really you! When my father wrote me a letter before, I thought it was fake!"

Gong Yuanzheng climbed directly onto the carriage and buried his head in Xie Yuchen's arms.

Xie Yuchen hugged Gong Yuanzheng who was leaning into his arms, "Like a kitten, we are here to accompany you through the so-called difficulties at the palace gate this time!"

Gong Yuanzheng raised his head, his eyes sparkling, "Really? Will Brother Xiaohua and Brother Er really stay with me for so long?"

Xie Yuchen couldn't help but feel a little guilty about Gong Yuanzheng's words. He always thought that Yuanzheng was a good boy who could understand his busy schedule, but he forgot that he was just a minor who had only seen a small part of the world.

Xie Yuchen recalled that when he was the same age as Gong Yuanzheng, every time he did something bad, his father would be so angry that he wanted to beat him up, but he was unwilling to do so. It was his father who disciplined him, but he just pretended to do so in order to get his father to listen.

But what about Yuanzheng? In this place where even birds are unwilling to shit, he can only be trapped in a cage called family, and devote all his value to those selfish old guys in the family for his whole life.

When Xie Yuchen looked down at the top of Gong Yuanzheng's head, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Yuanzheng, don't worry! Your brother Yuanbao and I are here to support you! You are the young master of the Hua family! You have the capital to be spoiled! As long as you don't violate the laws of the court, no matter what you have done, we can settle everything for you!"

Gong Yuanzheng listened to what Xie Yuchen whispered in his ear, "Brother Xiaohua! I live a very good life in the palace, no one can make things difficult for me! Dad has prepared enough for me! And I don't need to do anything for those useless people. Those people and doctors who have benefited from Zheng Palace will also fight against the elders for me."

The carriage of the Yao Jisi went straight through the palace gate and arrived at the gate of the Zheng Palace.

The people standing in a row at the entrance of Zheng Palace were Elder Xue and Elder Hua who had just received the news, as well as Elder Yue who had just gotten out of the sickbed. Even Gong Ziyu, who was rumored to have hysteria, was dragged out of Yu Palace.

A trace of disdain flashed in Xie Yuchen's eyes. "It seems that we are not important enough! Otherwise, why would they bother the palace gate elders and the palace gate swordsmen to greet us at the gate of Zheng Palace!"

Zhuo Yichen did not say anything, but silently stood behind Gong Yuanzheng with the demon-collecting team.

Gong Shangjiao, who hurriedly rushed in from the palace gate, looked at the elders and Gong Ziyu standing at the gate of Zheng Palace, and couldn't help but feel a headache. He had instructed early in the morning not to let the elders know that someone from Yuan Zheng's mother's family had come.

He was just afraid that Elder Xue and the others might offend someone without thinking, and as a result, they still found out despite all his warnings.

Gong Shangjiao now had no choice but to bite the bullet and go over to greet his mother's family who were on the expedition.

"Thank you, young master! King Yi!"

Xie Yuchen squinted his eyes at the late-coming Gong Shangjiao, "It's hard for you to take time out of your busy schedule to entertain the unwelcome Zheng Palace Master's maternal family!"

Gong Shangjiao was shocked, but he had to make excuses for the palace gate, "What are you talking about, Master Xie! How can Yuan Zheng be an unwelcome person! He is obviously the most indispensable pearl of the palace gate!"

Xie Yuchen was somewhat pleased by Gong Shangjiao's words, but it still did not satisfy him. "Mr. Jiao's words are very beautiful, but sometimes people's hearts and words are never the same."

Xie Yuchen finally agreed to face Gong Shangjiao, "Of course, I can ensure that Master Jiao treats Yuanzheng like a pearl, but others may not be able to do the same as Master Jiao."

Xie Yuchen smiled and turned to Elder Xue and others who were blocking the entrance to Zheng Palace. "You're right, aren't you? Elders?"

Elder Xue was suddenly asked a question. Relying on his age, he wanted to take advantage of his seniority in front of Xie Yuchen, but it depended on whether Xie Yuchen would accept his move.

"Don't try to take advantage of your age in front of me. I won't fall for it! You look healthy and strong and you can live another 20 years. You don't look like someone who is about to die as you say." Elder Xue was very angry when Xie Yuchen said this.

Xie Yuchen suddenly remembered and continued, "Elder Xue, your thoughts are more tangled than a spider web and more complicated than a maze. It is really hard to guess and understand. I have wasted my eyes."

Elder Xue couldn't win the argument, and he didn't dare to fight. He held his breath in his heart and fainted.

Gong Yuanzheng immediately assigned someone to send Elder Xue back to the Elders' Council. "Didn't you see that Elder Xue had fainted? You are still standing here stupidly, waiting for me to help him up?"

Elder Hua didn't want to bring humiliation upon himself, and Elder Yue was still ill, but he was troubled by what Elder Xue said, so he could only come along reluctantly.

Now, Elder Xue fainted and was carried back to the Elders' Council, and the two of them took this opportunity to leave Zheng Palace.

When Gong Ziyu saw Wen Xiao, who looked exactly like his mother, his eyes widened. Jin Fan, who was standing by, thought Gong Ziyu was having a hysterical attack and quickly grabbed the person and ran away.
