"What is this place? Why didn't you tell me there was a mechanism here just now?"
An Yu rubbed his face that was still hot and swollen. Abao's slap was very real. It seemed that all the women in the Xuanyu Clan were tomboys and couldn't be bullied! However, I deserve it. I didn’t touch anything, but I touched someone else’s rough waves...
"You didn't ask me." Abao looked up at An Yu innocently.
What she couldn't stand the most was this kind of look. He touched her head helplessly and said, "Forget it, let's find a way out first. Do you have any fire seals with you?"
"Bring it."
There is a torch in the secret passage. I don’t know when it was left. Fortunately, it can still be used. With the torch, the dark passage suddenly becomes clear. Abao picked up An Yu who was holding a torch and walked inside. It seemed that this was not her first time here.
"Here we go, this is it!"
A square box lay quietly in several places. Abao happily raised the box in his hand and smiled at An Yu, "I found it, this is it!"
"Is this a forbidden object in your clan?" She frowned, what danger could this thing have
Abao didn't answer her immediately and was about to open the box. An Yu quickly stopped her and said, "Be careful!"
"Don't worry!" Abao looked up and smiled brightly.
"Maybe there's a trap inside, so don't open it yet. Let's open it when we go back! Anyway, you've already got it."
Abao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Let's go, I know where to get out."
"You know?"
"Nonsense, if I can come in, I can also go out!"
I originally thought that it would take some energy when I came out. There should be some forbidden items, hidden weapons and the like, just like the last time I went to the underground ancient city. But to her surprise, there was none at all. It was like a room hidden underground, hiding this shameful forbidden object.
"What exactly is in this?"
As soon as she climbed up, An Yu saw Abao pinching her left and right, but the box in her hand had not been opened.
"Didn't I say it before? It's just a book. I don't know why I regard this book as a forbidden object."
Seeing Abao struggling to open the box, An Yu had no choice but to suggest, "How about we use a stone to smash the box open!"
"This is a good idea!"
Abao did as she said, and found a relatively large stone on the ground. She placed the box on the ground and was about to smash it down. An Yu stopped her again, sighed and said, "I'll do it. You're here." Just watch from the sidelines.”
Abao looked at her doubtfully, and seeing that she didn't want to explain, he had to curl his lips and stand aside. An Yu was just worried that there was some kind of mechanism in the box. It would be bad if he smashed it open at close range and injured the two of them. She put the box far away, then took the stone and threw it from a distance. I didn’t expect to be tricked in one go!
"Wow! Brother An, you are so awesome!" Upon seeing this, Abao jumped up happily.
An Yu squinted and saw a white object exposed in the box, and there was no other movement. It seems that the people of the Xuanjing Clan really want to have this thing stolen! There are no agencies, which really gives her an advantage.
He picked up the items in the box and took a look. The items inside were exactly the same as the parchment rolls he was carrying! An Yu was ecstatic in her heart, but her face remained calm. It seems that the people of the Xuanjing Clan really don't pay attention to this thing, and they don't set up any mechanism to hide it. Even this book was just packed in an ordinary box. I really don’t know what they were thinking.
"Brother An, show this to Brother Chen tomorrow! I'll go back and rest first~"
Watching Abao leave, An Yu raised his eyebrows, still not believing that he had simply obtained the Fengzhan Broken Book.
Before An Yu could figure out how to give the book to Yu Chen, Xie Weixing came to the door.
"You came just in time. I have something to tell you." That's what An Yu blurted out when she saw him for the first time.
"So you are here, and I have something to tell you."
An Yu was stunned and said, "What do you want to tell me?"
"It was stolen last night."
"What?!" An Yu was shocked.
The first thought was whether he and Abao were discovered by others when they broke into the tunnel last night. The second thought was, didn’t they always want this forbidden object to be stolen? Why should the news get out if it was stolen
"Do you know what's going on?" Xie Weixing stared at her closely and asked slowly.
An Yu came to his senses and hurriedly pulled him into the house. After closing the doors and windows, he said in a low voice: "I got the second volume of the Book of Heaven last night."
"Volume 2?" Xie Weixing raised his eyebrows and raised his voice unexpectedly.
"Abao took me to find it. Check to see if there is any problem." An Yu took out the second volume of Feng Zhan's incomplete book from his waist.
The cover of the second volume is the same as the first volume. It is also made of sheepskin, which will not get wet when exposed to water and will not be sunburned when exposed to light. But the cover also changed the wording, replacing volume one with volume two. The content inside is still incomprehensible.
"No problem. It's just...why did Miss Abao take you to find this thing?"
"I promised Yu Chen that I would show it to him. I was thinking about how to show it to him. Now there are reports of things being stolen outside. I don't know if it is related to what happened last night. If it is related..."
If it is related, then it must be related to Abao. But why would she do this? Or did someone instruct her to do this? why? When something is stolen, who benefits the most? Xuanjing clan
"Don't think too much. It's probably not Miss A Bao who let the news out. If it was her, then someone will probably come to arrest you now." Xie Weixing handed the second volume back to An Yu, and took out another book and Feng Zhan came out with a similar book and said to her, "This is a fake heavenly book."
An Yu was stunned for a moment, then took it and took a look. It was indeed very similar to the real book! Does he mean to give Yu Chen a fake heavenly book? But…
"Both the real and the fake are in your hands. You can give him whichever roll you want."
Xie Weixing left these words and went out, leaving this difficult choice to her.

When An Yu came to the main room, there was another group of onlookers. Seeing her coming, they all moved out of the way. Standing in the middle is the clan leader Zhuo Mucuo, and standing on the side are the elders of the clan, and Abao standing in front of them.
An Yu's heart tightened. Could Abao have already admitted it
"Brother An! You're here!"
"Yeah." Not knowing what happened, An Yu could only respond in a low voice, looked at the clan leader, and asked, "I heard it was stolen somewhere. I wonder what happened?"
"That's right, there was a burglar in the main house last night."
It turned out that when the clan leader entered the main house early this morning, the things in the main house were messed up, but after checking, nothing was missing.
"Mr. Patriarch, what are usually stored in the main room?" Last night? When she and Abao passed by the main house, there was no movement inside. Could it be what happened after they left yesterday
"The main house is always used to store medicinal herbs and other things from my clan. If they are valuable, I'm afraid they won't be as good as your ship."
What he said was reasonable. No matter how valuable it was, it couldn't be as valuable as their ship. That was the most important thing!
"I wonder where everyone was last night? If possible, it would be best to need some people to testify."
As soon as Zhuo Mucuo finished speaking, everyone started talking. The nights of the Xuan Yu Clan are very boring, so they will start to fall asleep around eight o'clock until they wake up around five o'clock in the morning. Unless there is a clan festival and a night vigil is required, they seem to have nothing to do but sleep.
"Abba, according to Abao, since nothing has been lost, let's just forget about it!" Abao said while holding Zhuo Mucuo's arm.
"How can this be done? The main house is an important place in our clan, and now something like this happens. It is obvious that someone wants to make things difficult for us. Are we still going to let others take advantage of us?"
"But you won't find any results at all if you search like this. Besides, we didn't lose anything. What will happen if we find the person?"
Although Zhuo Mucuo dotes on Abao very much, when he encounters some things in the clan, he is completely determined to kill his relatives for justice. At this time, Abao will not be allowed to do whatever he wants.
"Abao, your father is right. An important place like the main house represents the face of the Xuanji Clan. Now that the main house is broken into without authorization, it is disrespectful to the Xuanji Clan. If he does this, you should It’s better to understand him and support him.”
Abao saw that An Yu had spoken. Thinking of what happened last night, she could only reluctantly nodded and stood aside.
When no one was paying attention, An Yu winked at Abao, who was stunned and smiled slightly.
Fan Mu watched the interaction between the two, but couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what on earth were these two people doing
Because no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find who entered the main house last night, so Zhuo Mucuo had no choice but to put the matter aside.
After everyone left, An Yu followed Yu Chen. He was so busy thinking about things that he didn't even notice that the two people in front of him had stopped.
"Xiao An, are you looking for me?"
"Ah?" An Yu was startled and looked up suddenly, only to realize that she was only a few centimeters away from Yu Chen. She paused, blinked, and said with a smile, "Yes, I want to talk to you for a while. Are you... free?"
Yu Chen nodded, turned around, and walked slowly towards his residence.
"How is your injury recovering now? Does it still hurt?"
"It's much better." Yu Chen is still as gentle as water, and his words make people feel like spring breeze. For a moment, An Yu wanted to give him the authentic Fengzhan Broken Book, but...
"I heard that Brother Xie is teaching those children in the school recently. Is it going well?"
An Yu remembered the scene when he went to attend the class, smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Well, his class was quite interesting." (To be continued.
