Chapter 521 Your 4th Uncle, Crimson Flame Pine, is Going to Drop a Lot of Gold Coins

Shui Wutong, in a fit of anger, snapped.

Looking at Chi Yansong's indifferent expression, he grew angrier the more he thought about it.

They're both uncles, and their relationships with Li Luochen are pretty much the same, so what's the meaning of you giving a girl to him?

"Red Flame Pine, that's not very fair of you." Water Wutong crossed her arms, her tone turning serious. "What's the meaning of sending your trusted confidant to your nephew's side ahead of time?"

Chi Yansong remained unfazed: "It doesn't mean anything."

Seeing the Crimson Flame Pine's state, the Water Wutong raised its voice again:

"You're just trying to get closer to him! I, as his uncle, haven't even gotten to know my nephew properly yet, and you're already pushing him closer to you. The hearts of scholars are filthy!"

Chi Yansong adjusted his glasses, a slight smile playing on his lips, but he didn't refute her.

Li Luochen stood in the middle, looking at the angry water sycamore on the left and the calm and serene red flame pine on the right, and sighed silently.

"Nephew, tell your third uncle, what kind of girl do you like?" Shui Wutong grabbed Li Luochen's shoulder, patting him hard. "Just tell me, your third uncle will definitely find you a good one!"

Crimson Pine glanced at him sideways: "Heh, how many people can someone like you, who's on the flight path every day, possibly run into?"

Shui Wutong's smile froze on her face. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Chiyansong was telling the truth.

A shipping route is a shipping route, and a port is a port. It's always the same few faces coming and going. Unlike Crimson Pine, which is on land every day and can meet new people wherever it goes.

"My master likes me just like this."

Huo Yan walked over at some point, reached out and pulled Li Luochen away from Shui Wutong's arm around his shoulder, then snuggled into Li Luochen's arms, tilting her head up and smiling at Shui Wutong.

Following Huo Yan's movements, Li Luochen lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on her forehead.

Huo Yan's cheeks flushed red instantly, her previous composure shattering in an instant. She buried her face in his chest, refusing to look up, but her fingers gripped his clothes tightly: "You're so annoying, your two uncles are still here."

Water Wutong: ......

Chi Yansong adjusted his glasses, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Damn it!" Shui Wutong slammed her fist into her palm, her eyes practically spitting fire. "I'm going to ask Quanmei; she must know a lot of girlfriends!"

After saying that, he turned and walked out, his steps so big it looked like he was going to fight someone. As he walked, he took out his phone from his pocket, his thick fingers poking around on the screen, muttering something under his breath.

Chi Yansong watched him disappear through the door in a flurry, then calmly pushed up his glasses: "He's looking for Quanmei. No matter how many people Quanmei knows, can they be as useful as Huoyan?"

Li Luochen glanced at him but didn't reply.

Huoyan peeked half her face out from his arms, her ears were red, but the corners of her mouth were curved.

Shui Wutong slammed the door and disappeared at the end of the corridor. Chi Yansong remained expressionless, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The noisy brute finally left, and the air became a bit quieter.

However, this tranquility lasted only a moment before another thought quietly surfaced.

Did Li Luochen prepare any gifts for himself?

After all, both Wutong and Daigo received gifts. As Li Luochen's fourth uncle, and having appointed Huoyan as Li Luochen's secretary, he couldn't possibly receive nothing, could he?

Chi Yansong's gaze fell on the floor, but her thoughts were elsewhere.

He doesn't really want anything.

What hasn't the Crimson Flame Pine seen?

Material possessions have never been his primary focus.

The problem is, Water Wutong has it, but he doesn't!

It's one thing if others have it, but it has to be that brute whose voice is louder than the waves and whose brain is full of seawater.

He sent Huoyan there, real people to Li Luochen's side, serving him tea and water and organizing documents, doing everything wholeheartedly.

He knew Huo Yan's abilities; with her around, Li Luochen could at least reduce his worries by half.

Chi Yansong mentally went over this score again and again, but his face remained calm and composed.

Of course, he wouldn't ask for it willingly.

He is a Crimson Flame Pine, not a Water Wutong like him who always has "Why didn't you give it to me?" on his lips.

But Li Luochen is a smart kid, he should be able to figure it out, right?

I guess so...

Chi Yansong exhaled softly, suppressing the surging thoughts in her heart. She raised her eyes again, her gaze calm and serene, as if nothing had happened.

Huo Yan leaned against Li Luochen's chest, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Chi Yansong's hesitant expression, and guessed what was going on.

She remained outwardly calm, but she knew all too well the intricacies of her inner thoughts.

So she looked up and whispered to Li Luochen, "Master, I have found out about what happened in the Central Plains."

"We detected a violent fluctuation in a secret realm. The energy is very strong and it is related to a first-level god."

"A first-level god?" Before Li Luochen could speak, Chi Yansong opened his mouth slightly, his gaze behind his glasses suddenly freezing.

"Yes." Huoyan nodded. "My master heard that earthquakes often occur in the Central Plains, so he asked me to keep an eye on this."

Chi Yansong swallowed hard.

Li Luochen then said, "That's true. I was just thinking of seeing if it's related to Groudon."

Groudon!

Crimson Pine's breathing suddenly became rapid.

You should know that Shui Wutong had previously shown off the photos of the variant Kyogre that Li Luochen had sent him.

That smug look on Chi Yansong's face was an eyesore.

But now, Huoyan says that Li Luochen asked her to inquire about Groudon.

Isn't that something I prepared for myself?

Chi Yansong's complexion visibly improved, and even his eyebrows relaxed.

He knew that his nephew was on his side.

It's not that I don't want to give myself to someone, it's just that I haven't found Groudon yet.

What does it mean to be mindful?

This is what it means to put your heart into it!

Chi Yansong's lips curled up slightly, then quickly suppressed it. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and gazed out the window at the distant scenery, as if looking at something very far away.

Then, Chi Yansong took out a crimson pearl from his bosom and solemnly handed it to Li Luochen.

The pearl had a dark red luster, and inside it seemed as if a solidified flame was slowly flowing. Just by holding it in your palm, you could feel its scorching and ancient aura.

"This is a crimson jewel, closely related to Groudon," Crimson Pine's voice was deep and earnest. "It might be useful if we encounter Groudon again."

Li Luochen waved his hands repeatedly: "Fourth Uncle, absolutely not."

How could this be?!

The crimson orb is the key to Groudon's Primal Reversion.

The thing that the Lava Team went to great lengths to find back then, which Crimson Pine treasured, is now being handed over to him?

Li Luochen put his hands behind his back and shook his head even more resolutely than before.
