【Law of the Abyss】

"Do you know each other?" Feng Hengsu was surprised.

"I don't know him." Feng Yelan said with a cold face.

Mu Bei smiled. It was true that they didn't know each other. How could they know each other when they had only met once? At best, they could only be considered to have met before.

"I thought you two knew each other." Feng Hengsu was overjoyed, and then said, "It doesn't matter. It's not too late to know each other now." Feng Yelan immediately became alert: "What do you mean?"

Feng Hengsu looked at Feng Yelan and said, "His name is Mu Bei. He will live here from now on. You will be responsible for guiding him in his training."

"I don't agree!" Feng Yelan immediately refused.

"Ye Lan, it's time for you to grow up." Feng Hengsu said earnestly.

Feng Yelan left with an angry face.

Mu Bei stayed where he was, looking embarrassed. Feng Hengsu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, she's just like that. She'll be fine after a while." Just as he finished speaking, an energetic old man walked in.

"Uncle Wang, take him to the room and show him around so he can get familiar with the environment." Feng Hengsuo ordered.

Mu Bei followed Wang Bo, and soon they arrived at a villa.

"You'll live here from now on." said Uncle Wang.

The Feng family’s house is very big and has many rooms. The ceiling of any room can be the same as the room where Mu Bei lived.

He put away his luggage and was taken by Uncle Wang to walk around Feng's house. His feet were sore after the walk, so he returned to his room, fell exhausted on the bed, and fell asleep soon after.

Halfway through the sleep, the room was kicked open by someone from outside, and Feng Yixing and Feng Yelan rushed in angrily.

"It's you again. What did you say to Uncle Feng? Why would he let you live here?"

Mu Bei was woken up and felt a little unhappy. He turned over and covered his head with the quilt, thinking out of sight, out of mind. "It's so noisy!"

Seeing him like this, Feng Yixing became even angrier: "Why are you so arrogant? If you have the guts, come out and compete with us. If you lose, go tell Uncle Feng that you are leaving the Feng family."

Alas, Mu Bei opened his eyes, pulled back the quilt and sat up from the bed.

"Ah! Shameless!" Feng Yelan screamed and covered his eyes, "Put on your clothes quickly."

Mu Bei shook his head, put on his shirt, and yawned: "Are you two done yet? Are you going to let me sleep?"

Feng Yixing glared at him fiercely, "Your figure is not a big deal, I have what you have, what's so great about it?"

Mu Bei was speechless. Who on earth broke in without knocking? Besides, wasn't he just wearing a vest? What's the big deal? Who doesn't wear a vest when sleeping?

"Excuse me. First of all, you should knock before entering. Secondly, it was Uncle Feng you mentioned that asked me to live here. If I remember correctly, he is the head of the Feng family, right? If you are dissatisfied, you can go and tell him. I don't mind. In addition, I will not compete with you in any way, and I will not leave here in the short term. I think you should all get along well."

Mu Bei had never realized that he could speak so fluently. He could say so many words at once without any stuttering. Feng Yixing's face turned red. He couldn't find any point of rebuttal, but he was unwilling to do so and didn't want to lose face in front of Feng Yelan.

"A coward is indeed a coward. He doesn't even have the courage to compete. Let's go, Ye Lan, let's ignore him."

"No, I want to." Feng Yelan looked at Mu Bei stubbornly.

Mu Bei looked at her and shook his head in his heart: A summer insect cannot talk about ice.

"Were you laughing at me just now? What do you mean?" Feng Yelan took a step forward and grabbed Mu Bei's collar fiercely. He lowered his eyes and saw a pair of white hands.

"Miss Feng, isn't this inappropriate?"

Feng Yelan suddenly let go of her hand as he thought of something. "You have no right to say that to me! You are not welcome here!"

Mu Bei ignored her unreasonable behavior and looked her straight in the eyes: "I want to know why Miss Feng insisted on driving me away."

"No reason, I just don't like you, okay?"

"Okay, that's your question. Do you two have anything else to say? If not, please go back, or do you want to stand here and watch me sleep?"

"Okay, you wait!" Feng Yelan threw down these words and ran away. Feng Yixing glared at him fiercely and hurriedly followed him.

It's amazing!

Mu Bei couldn't understand why she kept pestering him, since he hadn't offended her. Could it be that she had malice for no reason?

The next day, as soon as Mu Bei opened the door, he saw Feng Hengsu standing at the door, followed by Feng Yelan and Feng Yixing.

"Uncle Feng? Why are you here?" Mu Bei was surprised.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Feng Hengsui coughed a few times.

"I'm sorry! I was wrong yesterday. I shouldn't have broken into your room." Feng Yixing stepped forward and apologized to Mu Bei. He was humble and polite, and he was completely different from last night.

"This..." Mu Bei didn't know what to say.

Feng Hengsu smiled and said, "I know everything about the two of them breaking into your room last night. They were wrong in this matter. I asked them to apologize to you. Please don't bother with them."

After saying that, Feng Hengsuo turned around and glanced at Feng Yelan.

She said to Mu Bei reluctantly, "I'm sorry." Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Feng Hengsu added: "Let Ye Lan accompany you to the library today to pick out a technique that is suitable for you to practice."

The Feng family's library has a total of twelve floors, arranged in the order of the twelve Earthly Branches. Each floor is divided into ten areas, arranged in the order of the ten Heavenly Stems. The combination of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches just makes up the sixty Jiazi.

Every sixty years, the library's protection mechanism will be triggered, and all the books will be reproduced in the formation. After the reproduction is completed, they will be automatically destroyed. The formation will be hidden, and only the head of the family from generation to generation can enter the formation.

At this point, the old library disappeared and a new library appeared.

There is a book spirit in every library. The book spirit was born in the library and will be responsible for managing and guarding the library. Anyone who wants to come in must answer a question from the book spirit. Only when the book spirit is satisfied can they enter.

After hearing all this, Mu Bei was stunned. Although he didn't understand, he respected it.

So, when the book spirit, wearing a bellyband, with two pigtails on his head and a baby face, appeared, Mu Bei was stunned again.

Whose three-year-old kid is this, sneaking out?

When he saw Mu Bei, he stumbled towards him as if he had seen some rare toy, opened his arms, hugged Mu Bei's thighs, and rubbed his little face against his pants again and again.

"Brother, give me a hug!" Shu Ling blinked her big eyes and asked for a hug.

Feng Yelan rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are already over 500 years old, and you are still pretending to be young. Can you be more promising?"

More than 500 years old? Mu Bei was completely torn apart. What kind of setting is this? So disjointed.

Shu Ling was exposed by Feng Yelan and burst into tears. He cried and shook Mu Bei's trouser legs: "Brother, she is bad! She is bad!"

"Shut up!" Feng Yelan shouted, walked up to Shu Ling, grabbed Shu Ling's arm and pulled him aside.

"You'll have ten seconds to ask a question."

Feng Yelan held onto Shu Ling tightly and refused to let go. “Ten, nine, eight…”

Shu Ling's whole face wrinkled, "You rude woman, let me go!

“Five, four, three…” Feng Yelan kept counting down.

"Hmph, brother, who do you think Feng Yelan will marry in the future?"

Huh? As soon as these words came out, the three of them were stunned. Shu Ling didn't expect that the question that came out of his mouth would be this one. Feng Yelan loosened his hand, and Shu Ling immediately hid behind Mu Bei. He also stuck out his tongue at Feng Yelan and snorted coldly: "Bad woman!"

Mu Bei couldn't figure out whether the question was serious or a joke, and looked at Feng Yelan with a puzzled look.

"Just answer it. The book spirit's questions are never joking."

"Brother, please answer seriously, who will Feng Yelan marry in the future?"

Feng Yelan is the only jewel in the crown of the Feng family patriarch. According to the novels and TV dramas Mu Bei has read in the past, such women usually do not decide their own marriages. They enjoy the protection of their family and will also protect their family, and can only end up in the most advantageous position for the family. Therefore, their marriages are bound to be victims of family interests.

However, since Shu Ling asked this question, the answer would definitely not be that simple.

Mu Bei thought for a moment and slowly said, "Feng Yelan, she will marry... someone she knows."

Shu Ling was stunned, "Brother, are you serious?"

Mu Bei nodded, "Of course, she will marry someone she knows."

"Okay, I lose to my brother." Shu Ling let go of him, closed her eyes, and pulled the pigtails on her head.

A dark wooden boat suddenly appeared, with an oil lamp lit at each end of the bow.

Feng Yelan jumped up first, then turned to Mu Bei and said, "Come up quickly, time is running out!"
