Chapter 566: Chapter 536 Loyalty

As the Wenqu Star Lord was about to speak, the Kaiming Beast suddenly interjected, "Don’t say you don’t bet! I’ve seen you make plenty of bets!"

The Wenqu Star Lord snorted and asked Yi Zheng, "What’s the bet?"

Yi Zheng grinned and said, "Didn’t you say your requirements for taking in disciples are high? I’m not betting on anything else; I bet that I can use my own strength to gain entry to your Book Mountain!"

"Hm?!" A glint of light flashed in the Wenqu Star Lord’s eyes, and the Attendant Student behind him couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Little Rabbit, with your abilities?"

"Amongst all the worlds of the All Heavens, so many Great Scholars have failed; you think you can succeed?"

Yi Zheng immediately pointed at him and said, "If I manage to enter the Book Mountain on my merit, you have to beat this guy senseless for me, until he can’t get out of bed for three hundred years. Furthermore, the Star Lord has to teach these disciples of mine, lead them into prominent sects, onto the Righteous Path, with a reputation that will last for eternity."

The Attendant Student wanted to speak again, but the Wenqu Star Lord raised his hand to stop him, smiling, "And what if you can’t do it?"

Yi Zheng spread his hands and responded, "If I can’t do it, we wipe all your black material clean and won’t bother you again."

The Wenqu Star Lord shook his head, "Not enough."

Then, pointing at Liu Fei, Wenqu Star Lord said, "If you can’t do it, I will beat her so she can’t get out of bed for three hundred years."

"Damn! Are you looking for a fight? Ying Zhao, gather the troops!"

Liu Fei was Yi Zheng’s Achilles’ heel. He was already unhappy when she bowed earlier, and now Wenqu Star Lord even dared to wager Liu Fei in the bet, which made him even less pleased.

Within the vast Confucian Sect, she was the only sensible one who could help alleviate his worries.

Not being able to get out of bed for three hundred years would be tantamount to sealing Yi Zheng for three hundred years, wouldn’t it?

This...absolutely not!

The Wenqu Star Lord, unafraid, laughed, "Rabbit, this is a bet. You want to hit my Attendant Student; I hit one of yours. What’s wrong with that?

Could it be you’re afraid to bet?"

Liu Fei looked at Yi Zheng and said, "Sect Master, I can do it."

"You can do nothing!" Yi Zheng pulled Liu Fei behind him, then shouted toward the distance, "Zi Xing, come over here!"

A figure rushed over, and in the next moment, a big rabbit with dazed eyes stood beside Yi Zheng, "Boss, what’s up?"

Yi Zheng pointed at Zi Xing and said to Wenqu Star Lord, "You hit this one!"

Wenqu Star Lord shook his head...

Yi Zheng turned back and called, "Zi Gong, Zi Lu!"

Zi Gong and Zi Lu ran over, and Yi Zheng pointed at the two of them and said, "Add these two to the deal, three-for-one, you’re not at a loss!"

The Wenqu Star Lord kept shaking his head, insisting on Liu Fei, "No, I only want her!"

Yi Zheng ground his teeth in anger, "Damn it, Ying Zhao, grab your weapons!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Fei quickly held back Yi Zheng, "Sect Master, I am willing, and I believe you will definitely win!"

Yi Zheng still wanted to protest, but the earnest and trusting look in Liu Fei’s eyes rendered him speechless.

After a long while, Yi Zheng looked at Wenqu Star Lord and said, "Hey! I want to ask you, what do you... actually test for?"

The Wenqu Star Lord smiled, "People think we of Shushan cultivate poetry and verses, but they don’t know that what we truly cultivate is vast Righteous Qi, the righteous thoughts of heaven and earth, the principles of righteousness!

I won’t make it hard for you, and you don’t need to write any masterful essays that go down in history.

I’ll give you a chance. Next autumn, during the Heaven and Earth Association examination, you can come and take part.

If you pass, then you win.

How about it?"

Yi Zheng agreed almost without hesitation, "Deal!"

Hearing this, Wenqu Star Lord burst into laughter, then with a hint of mockery, said, "Rabbit, I don’t hold back in a fight!"

After speaking, Wenqu Star Lord soared into the sky...

Just then, he heard Rabbit’s voice from behind, "I don’t go easy either, our business is settled.

Brothers, grab your weapons, let’s get him!"

The Wenqu Star Lord’s face changed drastically as he swiftly turned around, just to see Ying Zhao swinging a huge stele towards the back of his head.

At the same time, the Peng Demon King came at him from the front with a mighty swing of his staff.

With two thuds, Wenqu Star Lord was sent tumbling across the sky...

...

After a while, Wenqu Star Lord made his escape with the Attendant Student, his roar echoing from afar, "You damn rabbit, you will absolutely not be admitted to Book Mountain!"

Yi Zheng, holding a large carrot, bared his teeth and said, "Heh, that’s not for you to decide anymore."

Looking worried, Liu Fei watched Yi Zheng, "Sect Master, by doing this, you’ve thoroughly offended him. How will you stand a chance at Book Mountain now?"

Ying Zhao, however, shook his head, "Boss Lady, you’re mistaken.

If Wenqu Star Lord would resort to foul play in the examinations just because we beat him up, then he wouldn’t be the Wenqu Star Lord."

The Kaiming Beast chimed in, "Wenqu Star Lord is a man of integrity. Over the years, I could only catch some small faults of his. It’s only because he is a proud perfectionist that these small faults could compel him to comply.

I just didn’t expect Wenqu Star Lord to be this tough to handle.

But don’t worry, no matter how fierce today’s fight was, it won’t affect the upcoming exam.

It’s just that I had no idea, Rabbit, that you understood him so well. Seems like you’ve done your homework."

Yi Zheng shot him a disdainful look, "I don’t understand him at all; I just genuinely wanted to beat him up!"

After saying that, Yi Zheng gave Liu Fei a protective glance.

Liu Fei felt a warmth in her heart...

By this time, Zi Xing, Zi Gong, and Zi Lu had finally come to their senses, and understood why they were called over, feeling an intense excitement and roaring inwardly, "Indeed, among the millions of brothers, our boss truly values us the most!"

...

"Master, that Rabbit is just too much. Such a person should absolutely not be allowed in Book Mountain!" The Attendant Student, clutching his bruised and swollen face, complained tearfully.

The Wenqu Star Lord countered, "Why not?"

The Attendant Student proclaimed indignantly, "He fights, he’s barbaric, and he’s unreasonable! He hit the teacher, how could the teacher possibly accept him?"

The Wenqu Star Lord shook his head, "Since when has Book Mountain ever rejected someone due to personal grievances?"

The Attendant Student was speechless, but he quickly added, "But this Rabbit is different, he... he’s barbaric, uncouth, and unreasonable."

However, the Wenqu Star Lord chuckled, "Let’s go. Whether or not he can enter Book Mountain will be up to him after a year."

The Attendant Student followed behind, feeling that today’s Wenqu Star Lord seemed different... But he was determined about one thing, no matter what, he would not let that Rabbit enter Book Mountain!

"You damned Rabbit, with your Grandpa Qin here, you’ll never think about entering Book Mountain in this lifetime!"

...

On the other side, Yi Zheng was shoved into a small room by a group of people.

Ying Zhao, Lu Wu, Kaiming Beast, Rare, and Liu Fei, Zi Lu, Zi Gong, Zi Xing, and others all stared intently at Yi Zheng.

Yi Zheng, feeling creeped out, asked, "What are you guys... planning to do?"

Lu Wu asked, "Rabbit, are you really confident about getting into Book Mountain?"

Yi Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "Didn’t I tell you before? I can enter Book Mountain on my own merit."

The Kaiming Beast said with a wry smile, "Rabbit, where did you get that confidence from? Do you even know what Book Mountain is? It’s the only holy land in the hearts of all scholars under heaven!

Even without the previous literary tests, the upcoming Heaven and Earth Association exam is tough as nails.

Even a Literary Sage from a single world might not make it into Book Mountain out of ten million attempts.

What makes you think you can?"

"Is it because you have long ears and big buck teeth?"

"Or because you can insult people for an hour without repeating yourself?" Ying Zhao added.

Lu Wu said, "Rabbit, it doesn’t matter if you lose the bet, we’re all shameless here, we can just deny it. We, your brothers, will back you up, can Wenqu Star Lord really harm a single hair on Liu Fei’s head?"

Rare remarked, "I have a feeling that you’re bound to lose."

Yi Zheng looked at them irritably, "Blah, blah, blah, you’re sentencing me to death before I’ve even taken the exam? Zi Xing, Zi Lu, Zi Gong, what do you think, can I get into Book Mountain?"

Then the three smart-alecks shouted in unison, "Boss, which girl is Book Mountain? We’ll catch her for you right away! Let’s go for it!"

"Get lost!"

Yi Zheng gave each of the three fools a kick, sending them all flying out.

"I believe in you!" That’s when Liu Fei spoke up.

Just like before, Liu Fei looked at Yi Zheng with utmost confidence.

This confidence somehow made Yi Zheng feel less confident about himself. He cleared his throat and said, "Uh, you could believe in me a little less."

Liu Fei shook his head resolutely, "No, I believe you can definitely do it."

Yi Zheng asked with a whining tone, "Why do you believe so much?"

Liu Fei said, "Because over the years, there hasn’t been anything that the Sect Master decided to do that didn’t succeed. Besides, the Sect Master is so committed this time, I believe it will definitely work out."

Yi Zheng was speechless...

In fact, when Yi Zheng previously declared that he would enter Book Mountain by his own ability and made the bet, he had a different plan in mind.

He said he would enter Book Mountain, but he didn’t say he would get in by passing the exam!

His idea was simple: when the time came, he’d just lead his people to storm in...

That’s why he was brimming with confidence.

That’s why he found it all the more incomprehensible why Liu Fei would firmly believe that he, a person from 21st-century Earth and a cultural idiot, could get into Book Mountain through an exam.

Regardless, Liu Fei’s trust moved Yi Zheng deeply.

Yi Zheng patted his chest and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll make it for sure!"

Then Yi Zheng dragged the four troublemakers out. Before long, all four troublemakers were shaking their heads, "This... this just won’t do, this is too crazy!"

Yi Zheng exclaimed angrily, "Damn, since when do you four know the meaning of crazy? Isn’t it just a Little God’s mountain? Weren’t you guys robust in your actions just now? Their Combat Power wasn’t that great, huh?"

The Kaiming Beast shook its head, "It’s not the same, that’s Book Mountain! Book Mountain is graced with three thousand saints, and the Dao permeates the air with Vast Righteous Qi.

On Book Mountain, the Wenqu Star Lord is the Emperor, the supreme ruler!

Forget you and me, even the Buddha wouldn’t dare to raise his voice there."

Yi Zheng was stunned, "What do you mean? Does that mean I can’t fight my way into Book Mountain?"

All four troublemakers nodded together.

Yi Zheng was dumbfounded; he had thought his cunning plan was decent, but he had never expected to fall into a pit – and a bottomless abyss at that!

Ying Zhao patted Yi Zheng’s shoulder and said, "There’s only one way, study hard, improve every day, and strive to enter Book Mountain on your own merit."

In that moment, Yi Zheng felt as though he was back in his childhood, sitting in the classroom, looking at the message on the blackboard—365 days left until the college entrance exam!

Yi Zheng shivered and quickly grabbed the Kaiming Beast’s hand, "Brother Kaiming, you must have a way, right?"

All nine heads of the Kaiming Beast nodded simultaneously.

Yi Zheng’s eyes lit up, full of anticipation.

The Kaiming Beast said, "Don’t worry, I have connections, I can get you many classic texts and history collections!"
