【Law of the Abyss】

The person who spoke was an old man, dressed in a white shirt, with white hair and a youthful face, eyes like lightning, and he had the majesty of a person who always occupies a superior position.

It turned out that he was Huo Gongming, the head of the Huo family. Mu Bei bowed and saluted him.

Humble and polite, young and accustomed to knowing when to advance and when to retreat, Huo Gongming had a good impression of Mu Bei.

He had just come out of retreat today and noticed something was going on inside the Fire Peak Tower, so he rushed over to take a look. Unexpectedly, he ran into his grandson fighting with someone.

He watched the whole process. Huo Changjin was too arrogant and needed to be tamed, so he just watched from the side and did not take any action.

He didn't expect that the other party was young, but his cultivation was higher than Huo Changjin's. He didn't expect that the other party did not kill Huo Changjin even after being repeatedly forced to do so.

Fortunately, he left some room for maneuver, otherwise that stab of sword would have killed him.

No matter what, Huo Changjin is his only grandson. He can't just let him be killed. The Huo family needs an heir to shoulder such a heavy burden, and he is the only heir.

"Grandpa, why did you come out? Weren't you in seclusion?" Huo Changjin's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

Huo Gongming glanced at him, and said angrily: "You still dare to ask, you have done a good thing, if I don't come out, the Huo family will be ruined by you."

"Grandpa, please at least give me some face." Huo Changjin said fearlessly.

"Why don't you go back and reflect on your mistakes?"

"I'm not wrong." Huo Changjin stiffened his neck and refused to admit it.

Mu Bei could see that, on the surface, the old man in front of him did not intend to make things worse, so he hurried over to smooth things over.

"Senior Huo is very understanding and I am very grateful to you. This is a pure misunderstanding. I hope you will not punish the eldest son."

After saying that, he turned to Huo Changjin and said, "Sir, please let my friend go."

Knowing when to stop and being sensible, Huo Gongming looked at the young man in front of him with a hint of approval.

"You are the only one who knows how to pretend to be a good person." Huo Changjin rolled his eyes at Mu Bei and then looked at Huo Gongming.

"Grandpa, you don't know, he did it voluntarily, it has nothing to do with me."

"Chang Jin!" Huo Gongming called him, his voice sonorous and powerful.

"Okay, okay, I'll let it go. I'll let it go!"

Huo Changjin couldn't stand Huo Gongming calling him 'Changjin' in that tone. It felt like he was back in his childhood. Whenever he did something wrong, he would call him like that without saying anything else, and he would immediately give in.

Huo Changjin took back the soul-binding rope, and Mu Bei stepped forward immediately and helped Lei Yinuo up. He pulled his arm onto his shoulder with one hand and held his waist firmly with the other hand. Seeing this, Mo Dazhuang also stepped forward immediately and put Lei Yinuo's other hand on his shoulder.

"Thank you! Goodbye!"

Mu Bei nodded slightly to Huo Gongming, then took Lei Yinuo out.

Looking at the disappearing backs of the few people, Huo Chang Jin felt indignant.

"Grandpa, why are you helping them?"

Huo Gongming looked at the young and energetic Huo Changjin, as if he saw his younger self, and he sighed.

"Chang Jin, the Huo family will be handed over to you sooner or later. You have to understand that one more friend is better than one more enemy."

"But……"

"Okay, I'm tired. You'll understand later."

Huo Gongming left, and Huo Changjin stood alone in the dim room. He slashed at the wall with his palm, and the wall collapsed with a loud bang.

Friends? Humph! I don't need friends. Grandpa, sooner or later, I will make you understand that in the face of absolute strength, friends are just a joke!

Mu Bei brought Lei Yinuo back to Mo Yunxuan, and helped him heal his injuries. Fortunately, Lei Yinuo's spiritual power gradually recovered and his injuries were slowly getting better.

They stayed here for several days, during which time Huo Chang Jin never came to trouble them once.

"Don't worry, he has been taught a lesson by grandpa, so he won't dare to do anything to us."

Although Mo Dazhuang and Huo Gongming were not very close, it was undeniable that he often admired his grandfather.

Mu Bei recalled what happened that day and felt deeply moved.

"I didn't expect that the head of the Huo family would be so open-minded."

Mo Dazhuang raised his eyebrows, feeling extremely proud.

"Of course, my grandfather is the most sensible person I have ever met."

A question arose in Mu Bei's heart. He always felt that it was not that simple for Huo Changjin to capture the two brothers of the Lei family.

He didn't believe that the head of the Lei family was arrested just because of a concubine, and Lei Yiming could willingly stay in the fire prison for so long. Things must not be as simple as he thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Mo Dazhuang saw that he was a little distracted.

Mu Bei told him the question in his mind, "Don't you find it strange?"

"It does sound a bit strange when you put it that way."

"Cough cough cough..."

When Mu Bei turned around, he saw Lei Yinuo lying on the bed, listening to their conversation attentively.

"You're awake. Are you feeling better?" Mu Bei asked with concern.

Lei Yinuo nodded, supported himself on the bed with his hands, and sat up. His face was a little pale, but he looked much better than before.

"I want to go home."

"it is good."

As Mo Dazhuang sent the two men out, he met a servant who came to deliver a message.

"Please stay, the master would like to invite you two to come over."

Several people followed the servant to the front hall, where only Huo Chang Jin and Huo Gongming were. Huo Gongming gave the servant a look and the servant avoided them.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Huo Gongming smiled kindly, his eyes fell on Lei Yinuo, and he thought to himself: He is indeed a handsome man.

"Little friend Lei, are you feeling better? Are you used to living in your mansion?"

Lei Yinuo bowed politely and said, "Thank you, senior. I feel much better. It's great here."

Huo Gongming was very satisfied when he heard this. He stroked his beard and said, "In that case, why don't you stay for a few more days? It won't be too late to go back after you have recovered."

Lei Yinuo and Mu Bei looked at each other, not knowing the purpose of his words. After thinking about it, they politely declined.

"Thank you, senior. It's really because my elder brother at home misses me so much that I can't bother him any more. To express my gratitude, my elder brother has specially sent a few boxes of jewelry, valuables, and spiritual herbs and medicines over. They should arrive in two days."

Mu Bei contacted Lei Yiming long after Lei Yinuo was released and told him about the situation. He then ordered someone to send some things over.

Huo Gongming smiled, "In that case, I won't force you to stay. Brother Lei is really too polite. It's enough to show your appreciation. Why spend so much money?"

"This is just a small gift, it's just a token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it."

The two of them exchanged some polite words, and Huo Gongming looked at Huo Changjin who was standing beside him.

Huo Changjin stood up reluctantly and bowed to Lei Yinuo in a very perfunctory manner.

"Brother Lei, I apologize for offending you before. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me."

Mu Bei didn't expect that Huo Gongming would ask Huo Changjin to apologize, and he didn't expect that he would actually do it.

Lei Yinuo was also a little surprised, and hurriedly bowed in return, "Okay, okay."

I thought the matter ended here, but unexpectedly, Huo Changjin looked at Lei Yinuo sincerely.

"Brother Lei, I feel very guilty for hurting you so deeply before. To express my apology, I want to escort you back to the Lei family. Is that okay?"

"This……"

Lei Yinuo was confused and didn't understand what this person was trying to do. Before he could open his mouth to refuse, he was interrupted again.

"Brother Lei, you must be blaming me in your heart, so you don't want me to go. I can understand, I just feel too guilty. Only when I send you back safely can I feel at ease. If you don't believe me, you can go ask grandpa if I can't eat these days because of this matter."

Huo Gongming nodded.

"Friend Lei, Chang Jin has been a bit arrogant since he was young, but he definitely has no bad intentions. Just help him. It just so happens that our two families have a relationship."

Lei Yinuo still didn't say anything. He looked at Mu Bei and asked him. Mu Bei said: Brother, you decide.

Seeing that the two did not speak, Huo Gongming sighed and spoke again.

"At the critical point, our three great families, Wind, Thunder, and Fire, have never been close to each other. I have always wanted to have a chance to get closer to everyone. More friends, more paths. What do you think?"

Now that things have come to this, Lei Yinuo can no longer refuse, he simply nodded: "Okay!"

"Friend Lei, you are really straightforward."
