Chi Jun moved his paws and ran in the direction of the ginkgo tree. The autumn sunshine fell on the little lion's fur and turned the tip of the grass yellow. He looked like a little lion following behind a big lion on the grassland to practice catching prey.

The closer he got to the tree, the more excited Chi Jun became. In the last seven years, he didn't know how many times he had seen this tree and touched it. He knew every branch and piece of bark of this tree.

Chi Jun was more and more certain that this tree was Gu Yanzheng and it wasn't easy for him to take small steps.

At least, until he was blocked by the palace wall. The material of this palace wall was different from the building that held him. It was made of a strong concrete mixed with a high-density alloy. It seemed to be a few years old and couldn't be pierced with his paws.

Chi Jun turned his head and looked around. There was no danger in his sight and he was ready to climb the wall. The moment his claws touched the wall, a sense of crisis suddenly emerged. The vigilance developed over the past seven years made Chi Jun roll to the ground. His metal power was thrown behind him and caught the giant mechanical beast. The weapon carried by the mechanical beast already had energy stored and the faint blue light seemed to penetrate.

Fortunately, the main body of the mechanical beast was metal or Chi Jun would probably smell death again. The metal ability penetrated the mechanical beast and Chi Jun once again discovered the lines he had seen before. He immediately broke the lines. The mechanical beast collapsed like flowing water, turning into a high-density alloy card that fell to the ground.

Chi Jun rose from the ground and grabbed the two cards. He showed a bit of interest in the strange metal structure before heading to climb the wall. The other side of the wall contained his ginkgo tree! Nothing was more important than finding his family's tree.

At the same time, the guards at the imperial palace's security department suddenly discovered that the palace's defense system, which hadn't been activated for many years, actually flashed red. The guard on duty was in a trance for a moment before sounding the alarm in panic.

For a time, all the mechanical beasts of the imperial palace were activated and entered an alert state.

Meanwhile, Chi Jun had used the sharp thorns formed by the alloy cards wrapped under his paws to climb the wall before any of the mechanical beasts emerged.

Regardless of the chaos in the imperial palace, the little lion moved carefully using the metal claws to cross the steep rocks and ran towards the towering wall on the other side.

He finally ran to the wall on the other side and looked up. Chi Jun tentatively called out to the hundred year old ginkgo tree.

"Awu?"

The hundred year old ginkgo tree stood by the wall without reacting. Chi Jun moved his tail somewhat uneasily. Gu Yanzheng was a wood based genius but he wasn't a real tree. Chi Jun climbed up and roared. It was reasonable to say that Gu Yanzheng shouldn't have ignored him.

Chi Jun raised his spirit and gazed at the wall in front of him. This wall was much more peaceful than the previous palace walls and didn't contain any strange mechanical beasts. Chi Jun stared at it with big eyes.

The hundred year ginkgo tree in front of him looked exactly the same as Gu Yanzheng's tree form. It was the same body, same branches and same fan-shaped leaves that would turn golden in autumn.

Yet Gu Yanzheng didn't react when he saw Chi Jun.

Chi Jun walked over and raised his lion's paws to touch the tree trunk. He realized that his claws were covered with alloy nails and shook it. He exposed the pad of his paws, pressed it against the ginkgo tree and patted it twice. "Gu Yanzheng?"
