Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

The sun shines through the lush branches and leaves of the locust tree, casting patches of light and shadow in the quiet courtyard. Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling are sitting leisurely under the big tree with white locust flowers in full bloom, concentrating on the chess game in front of them.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence. A man ran to the door in a hurry, looking a little nervous. When he came closer, he first bowed respectfully to Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling, and then said, "Patriarch, the young prince and his men have already entered. According to your instructions, our people have quietly surrounded the area. But..." At this point, the man suddenly became a little hesitant, as if he had some concerns.

Hua Yu's fingertips gently held a white chess piece that was as smooth as jade. After hearing the words of the visitor, he slowly raised his eyes, shooting a cold and sharp gaze at the visitor, and asked softly: "But what? How can you be so hesitant? Just say what you want to say."

Hearing this, the visitor couldn't help but bend down a little more, appearing to be more cautious. He raised his head slightly, quickly glanced at Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling who were sitting there, and then lowered his voice and said, "However, Master Xiaohua suddenly sent a message saying that he wanted Huo Xiangu to be able to walk out of there alive."

Hua Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, but after just a moment he understood Xiao Hua's intention. He raised his lips slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of one more death or one less death. Even if Huo Xian Mushroom can really survive, it must not live long. Let Xiao Hua do what he wants." After that, Hua Yu waved his hand casually, signaling the visitor to leave.

After hearing this, the man bent down hurriedly and bowed respectfully as if he had received a pardon. Then, he turned around at lightning speed and left in a hurry, fearing that staying any longer would cause unnecessary trouble.

On the other hand, Hua Yu was not affected by the incident that just happened. He once again focused all his attention on the chessboard in front of him. His slender and delicate hands gently loosened their grip, and the snow-white chess piece that was originally tightly grasped on his fingertips slowly fell from the air like a soft snowflake. In the end, the white piece landed steadily and accurately on the chessboard.

As the chess pieces fell, Hua Yu's beautiful face suddenly blossomed into a flower-like smile. She chuckled and said, "Haha, checkmate! Brother, it looks like I win this round again." At this moment, Hua Yu's smile was as beautiful as a flower. Her bright and moving face, under the sunlight, was like a gorgeous flower in full bloom, emitting charming brilliance and charm.

Zhang Qiling, who was sitting opposite, heard Hua Yu's triumphant laughter and glanced at the chessboard indifferently. Then, he raised his head and stared at Hua Yu, whose eyes were shining with excitement. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of helpless smile, and asked softly: "What new way have you thought of to torment me?"

Seeing this, Hua Yu winked playfully, stretched out one hand to hold his chin, and kept fiddling with the remaining chess pieces in the exquisite white jade chess box beside him with the other hand. After a while, he slowly said, "How about this, brother~ Let's go to the Zhang Family Ancient Building here. I have never been to the Zhang Family Ancient Building that is tightly protected by those idiots. I am also very curious about what kind of amazing secrets are hidden in this Zhang Family Ancient Building that can attract so many people who are not afraid of life and death to explore it. Maybe this time we can find some unexpected surprises!" After speaking, Hua Yu looked at Zhang Qiling expectantly, his eyes full of excitement.

Zhang Qiling would not refuse any of Hua Yu's requests. Besides, it was just a trip to the Zhang family's ancient building, so what was the problem? "I'll ask Zhang Haike to prepare things, and we'll set off in the afternoon."

Hua Yu smiled so hard that her teeth were not visible. "We won't follow Xiao Hua's path."

As soon as Zhang Qiling heard it, he knew Hua Yu was up to something bad, but he did not stop his prank. After all, Xiaohua had been pampered and had been smooth sailing for so long, it was time for him to suffer a little, otherwise he would make a hole for it one day in the future.

Zhang Qiling had just agreed to Hua Yu's request, and Zhang Haike had prepared everything and was waiting in the courtyard just after dinner.

Zhang Qiling brought Hua Yu, followed by several good fighters from the Zhang family, to the cave that Xie Yuchen and his companions had entered in the morning.

At this moment, a team appeared and broke the peace outside the cave. The people who came were Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling who were far away in Changbai Mountain! Their appearance was like a flash of lightning across the night sky, instantly breaking the tranquility and silence around them. The Wang family members who were responsible for keeping watch here were stunned and terrified, because according to the intelligence they had, Zhang Qiling should be thousands of miles away in the Changbai Mountain area at this time, so how could he appear so suddenly in this Banai land?

However, the Wang family stalkers quickly came to their senses and thought to themselves: Although Zhang Qiling's arrival was unexpected, it was not a bad thing to some extent. After all, his presence here could prove without a doubt that there was indeed a vital Zhang family ancient building here. Just as they were about to report this major discovery to the other Wang family members hiding in the cave, a slight and hurried sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind.

Before they could turn around to see who it was, they felt a heavy blow on the back of their necks, and their vision suddenly spun. Then they lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Then, they were mercilessly tied up like sandbags and thrown casually on the cold, hard ground.

Not long after, a mysterious visitor walked up quickly and whispered into the walkie-talkie in his hand: "Report, all the Wang family members on my side have been successfully captured." This person was wrapped tightly in black clothes from head to toe. Not only was no skin exposed, but even the contours of his face were difficult to distinguish. Even his eyes were firmly covered by a pair of large and thick goggles, making it impossible to see his true face.

A moment later, a low, hoarse and slightly mechanical response came from the other end of the intercom: "Received. I will immediately send someone to support and handle the situation." Due to signal interference and the other party's deliberate lowering of his voice, it was impossible to determine whether the person who issued this order was a man or a woman.
