The Six Secret Teachings Was Gone Too
"Knock knock knock~"
Ma Feifei tapped the Four Spirit Pillars and then stroked them with his hand, but found nothing unusual. The tortoise had indeed entered the pillar, leaving no sharp edges.
Even though the turtle was real, its sudden appearance inside was still hard for Ma Feifei to accept, and he felt extremely panicked.
"System, does this mean we killed that turtle?" Ma Feifei asked the system in his mind.
Just a moment ago it was a living, breathing creature, and suddenly it turned into a carving on the wall. It's no different from killing a living person.
"It's still alive," the system replied.
Hearing this, Ma Feifei breathed a sigh of relief, pulled himself out of his thoughts, and carefully examined the tortoise on the Four Spirit Pillars. Ma Feifei found that the tortoise on the Four Spirit Pillars was far more lifelike than the one painted by Luan Feng.
But then I thought about it and it made sense. A live turtle was put inside; it wouldn't make sense if it didn't look lifelike, would it?
However, nothing unusual happened when the tortoise entered the Four Spirit Pillars, nor did the Fenghuang Phoenix God Welfare Event occur as previously depicted by Luan Feng.
As for the Cute Dragon drawn by Yun Qingyang, there were no special events or perks associated with it either.
Ma Feifei didn't care about any of that; what he did care about was that the last of the Four Spirit Pillars hadn't yet been given its proper role.
Thinking of this, Ma Feifei suddenly turned around and looked at Ba Jiu.
"Shop... shop owner, why are you looking at me like that?" Ba Jiu panicked a little and started backing away.
"Nine, why don't you go in too?" Ma Feifei pointed to the blank Four Spirit Pillars opposite and said quietly. Ba Jiu's painting talent was only slightly better than Yun Qingyang's, but that was before Yun Qingyang had grasped the painting techniques of a master. Over such a long time, Ba Jiu's paintings of Qilin were simply unbearable.
"I don't want to!" Ba Jiu shook his head violently and ran towards the backyard.
"Then you better draw Laozi properly. I'll give you another month. If you can't finish it, I'll shove you in here!" Ma Feifei shouted from behind.
Ma Feifei didn't know if Ba Jiu had heard her, but there was no sound. She had no choice but to put away the fish container, glanced at the clock, and found that it was almost nine o'clock.
"Fine, I'll be diligent this time and keep watch at the Bookstore all day." Ma Feifei plopped down on a stool and called out to Yun Qingyang, who was standing to the side, "Waiter, open the door!"
Yun Qingyang flipped through the silver and headed straight for the backyard.
Ma Feifei shrugged helplessly and went to reopen the door that Ba Jiu.
"Crunch~"
At the Bookstore entrance, Ma Feifei happened to see Zhang Yunji and Luan Feng walking towards the Bookstore. The two lived on the same street and would occasionally run into each other when they came to work at the Bookstore in the morning, and then they would come together.
"Shopkeeper!" The two men were surprised to see that Ma Feifei was here even earlier than them, and greeted Ma Feifei with a salute.
"You're too kind, good morning." Perhaps because she had completed her mission, Ma Feifei was in an exceptionally good mood today, and greeted the two of them cheerfully.
After greeting Zhang Yunji and Luan Feng, everyone went about their own business. Zhang Yunji stood at the door to greet customers who came to the Bookstore that day, while Luan Feng wiped the tables and chairs and tidied the bookshelves.
As for Ma Feifei, he returned to the cashier, took out the book "Investiture of the Gods" from the drawer, and walked towards the bookshelf.
As Ma Feifei passed by Luan Feng, he noticed that Luan Feng's eyes kept glancing at the copy of "Investiture of the Gods"Ma Feifei in his hand. He couldn't help but ask, "What? Do you want to read it?"
Luan Feng didn't hold back and nodded in reply, "I want to."
"How's your copy of 'Six Secret Teachings'? How's it going?" Ma Feifei asked with a smile. Because Luan Feng had read it, the copy of "Six Secret Teachings" hadn't been put on the bookshelf yet, and most importantly, the system hadn't given him any task to put the book on the Six Secret Teachings. In other words, it seemed that Luan Feng hadn't triggered the task to put the book on the Six Secret Teachings.
Since it wasn't triggered, it can only mean one thing: Luan Feng didn't understand the book "Six Secret Teachings." If she couldn't understand it, then she couldn't possibly have thoroughly studied it.
But to Ma Feifei's surprise, Luan Feng nodded and said, "I've finished reading it."
"Huh?" Ma Feifei was a little confused. Finished reading it? What did that mean? Did it mean she read it from beginning to end, or that she had fully grasped the principles contained in the book "Six Secret Teachings"?
Luan Feng then put down the rag, took out the book "Six Secret Teachings" from her spatial ring, and handed it to Ma Feifei with both hands, saying, "Thank you for the book, shopkeeper."
Ma Feifei took the "Six Secret Teachings," flipped through it, and found nothing amiss. His expression of doubt deepened.
"Impossible." Ma Feifei shook his head. Luan Feng was the God of War of Yan State, and her understanding of the Art of War was definitely much better than that of ordinary people. If Luan Feng had really finished reading "Six Secret Teachings," it would definitely have triggered the task of putting the book on the shelves. But Luan Feng just said that she had finished reading the book and was now returning "Six Secret Teachings" to him, which proved that what Luan Feng said was true.
But from beginning to end, Ma Feifei never received any notification that "Six Secret Teachings" had been triggered to go on sale!
Thinking of this, Ma Feifei placed the "Six Secret Teachings" in his hand on the fourth bookshelf.
The book was successfully placed on the bookshelf, but surprisingly, there was no system notification sound, which is the so-called "shelf task".
This book, "Six Secret Teachings," was published without any submission requirements!
"No, something's wrong." Ma Feifei took the book "Six Secret Teachings" off the shelf again, tucked "Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods" under his arm, and stood next to the bookshelf to start reading.
By this time, the Bookstore had been flooded with customers who were there to read. Each customer passed by Ma Feifei carefully, not daring to disturb him. Ma Feifei was also engrossed in the book "Six Secret Teachings" and did not notice the flow of people around him.
Some time later, Zhang Yunji approached and whispered, "Shopkeeper."
"Hmm?" Ma Feifei snapped out of her daze, not even raising her eyes, and replied in a somewhat serious tone.
Upon hearing Ma Feifei's tone, Zhang Yunji panicked and bowed even lower, replying, "Cang Lan, the Grand Dean Vast Academy, has arrived."
"Grand Dean?" Ma Feifei finally snapped out of her daze and turned to look at the Bookstore entrance, where she saw Cang Lan in a purple robe standing there. When Ma Feifei looked at her, Cang Lan winked at Ma Feifei teasingly.
Unfortunately, Cang Lan didn't receive a response. Ma Feifei, like a blockhead, withdrew his gaze and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Zhang Yunji bowed and withdrew.
"Shopkeeper, I'm sorry." Luan Feng, who had been standing behind Ma Feifei, bowed to Ma Feifei and said.
"Heh." Ma Feifei sneered, patted the "Six Secret Teachings" in his hand, and said, "I'd like to ask, why is this book still here?"
Yes, the Book Spirit of this Epic-grade- quality book, "Six Secret Teachings," is gone. It's obvious where it went without even thinking. What surprised Ma Feifei was that the book wasn't burned.
"I... I don't know either." Luan Feng seemed to realize she had made a mistake, and her tone softened, a rare occurrence for her.
"When did this happen?" Ma Feifei's face darkened slightly.
"It's been a while," Luan Feng replied softly.
"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?" Ma Feifei's face darkened even more. It had been a while, and Luan Feng still hadn't told him!
"It went back at first, but a few days ago it suddenly jumped into my body and hasn't come out since," Luan Feng said weakly.
"Go back at the beginning?" Ma Feifei noticed this keyword, glanced at Cang Lan outside the door, and finally decided to go and entertain Grand Dean Cang Lan first.
"I'll deal with you later!" Ma Feifei glared fiercely at Luan Feng, then turned and walked towards the Bookstore entrance.
