Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

After Yin Xinyue sent Hua Yu and others back to Hua Mansion, she invited her to have a meal.

After finishing their meal, Yin Xinyue and Hua Yu walked hand in hand in the back garden as if nothing had happened, leaving Zhang Qiling, Zhang Qishan and the other two staring at each other.

Mr. Qi Ba sat on the stool as if his buttocks were pierced by nails, and he kept moving. Zhang Qishan sat at the bottom and thought for a long time. Er Yuehong sat on the side and drank tea to relax. Zhang Qiling sat at the top and looked up at the beam, as if the pillar had grown flowers.

"Xinyue, do you believe what was said at the auction today, that the bronze bell can open the path to immortality?"

"Immortality. It has been the pursuit of emperors since ancient times. However, even the emperors above ten thousand people in ancient times could not find it. This illusory thing suddenly appeared now."

"I'm afraid the water here is as deep as that in Guixu, unfathomable."

Yin Xinyue stayed beside Hua Yu, and the two of them fed the koi in the pond from time to time.

"Yeah! Something ethereal."

"If so, I said that immortality does exist, Xinyue, would you want immortality?"

Yin Xinyue looked back at Hua Yu, trying to see some joking look in his eyes.

However, Hua Yu looked at her seriously.

Two little men, one black and one white, appeared in Yin Xinyue's heart and were shouting at her.

Black villain: "Believe him! He is the young master of Wan Chong Shan. He can get whatever he wants easily."

White villain: "Don't believe him. Immortality is nothing but feudal superstition. It is a lie made up by the upper class rulers to fool the people."

The black man said: "Believe him. Hua Yu never makes a fuss. The bronze bell may really be related to immortality."

White man: "Even if I can live forever, what's the use? If I live too long, I will only suffer in the end."

Black man: "But, life is only a few decades long. If I could live forever, I would have unlimited time to do everything, and I would also have the Crescent Hotel to support me."

White villain: "But, can you bear the fact that the people around you grow old and die one by one, and in the end you are the only one left to endure the endless loneliness?"

Among the two villains in Yin Xinyue's heart, in the end, the white villain defeated the black villain.

"I don't want to live forever."

Yin Xinyue leaned against the railing beside the pond and looked up at the sun above her head.

“Everything that looks good actually has traps.”

"Longevity may seem simple, but no one knows what it is like behind it."

"Besides, I am a human, not a god. I will be greedy. If I gain immortality, I will want the people around me to gain immortality as well. And the people around me also have people they care about. If they also want the people they care about to gain immortality, then it will eventually lead to a catastrophe."

“People are fragile but also very scary.”

"Xinyue, God is not omnipotent."

"Of course I know that God is not omnipotent. Didn't those storybooks also say that they also have times when they are helpless?"

"Those storybooks all ended up praising the gods and boasting about their greatness, but I saw their sadness."

"Even as powerful as gods, there are things they cannot do. When disaster strikes, they will be the first to appear in front of the world, but it is human greed that causes the gods to lose their loved ones forever. But the next time disaster strikes, they will still be at the forefront."

"Heart-deepening, people are good and bad. The same is true for all living things in the world. Gods do not love people who think they are superior, but all things in the world. It is precisely because humans are also part of the world that Gods also love humans."

Hua Yu and Yin Xinyue were still discussing when suddenly several men in black climbed over the wall.

“So, even gods have regrets, let alone humans.”

"Xinyue, you need to find your true self, and then become the identities that people attach to you."

The man in black carefully avoided the servants patrolling the mansion, and at a turning point he met Hua Yu and Yin Xinyue who were walking together.

When the man in black saw the two men, his eyes lit up and he rushed towards them with weapons in hand.

Before the man in black could get within three steps of Hua Yu, he was captured by the secret guards who were hiding in the dark to protect Hua Yu.

The first step after being captured was to remove the limbs and jaws of the men in black to prevent them from suddenly jumping up and committing suicide.

"Young Master, Miss Yin, are you two injured?"

After the man in black was captured, the captain of the secret guard ran to Hua Yu and asked if the two were injured.

Hua Yu shook her head. Yin Xinyue hid behind Hua Yu and looked timidly at the men in black who were pinned to the ground.

Zhang Qiling, who learned from a distance that someone had broken into the mansion to assassinate Hua Yu, also rushed over, followed by a large group of people.

Zhang Qiling came to Hua Yu and first checked if Hua Yu was injured or frightened. Then Zhang Qiling arranged for Hua Yu to go to the room and let the doctor check her carefully before he felt relieved.

“Don’t stay away.”

Hua Yu felt that Zhang Qiling's palm was slightly wet. He knew that his brother was afraid, so he held Zhang Qiling's hand in return.

Yin Xinyue was also arranged by Uncle Tai to be sent back to the Crescent Hotel.

The Hua Mansion is now under tight security. Those men in black have been imprisoned in the dungeon, awaiting severe punishment.
