Chapter 574: Chapter 544 Innocent Little White Rabbit

The other party, hearing this, their faces flushed red; they were not here to rescue Rabbit but thought that those pursuing Wenchang Palace’s people must be Wenqu Palace’s examinees. They wanted to catch a big fish, but almost ended up risking themselves.

Just then, one person stealthily made eye signals to another, who instantly understood and quietly pulled out a treasure and walked towards Rabbit’s back.

The man speaking to Rabbit then said, "Rabbit, I know a great secret. Do you want to hear it?"

Rabbit’s attention was immediately caught; his large ears perked up, and his eyes bright and innocent, he looked at the man and asked, "What secret?"

The man’s expression gradually turned fierce, and he yelled, "Move..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone nearby shouted, "The noise is coming from that direction!"

Hearing that people were approaching, the man who was about to act quickly put away the treasure, a look of regret in his eyes.

They were exam gangsters, but no one said exam gangsters could only deceive Wenqu Palace’s examinees. Of course, deceiving Wenqu Palace’s examinees could greatly increase their chances of entering Wenchang Palace.

However, deceiving most of Wenchang Palace’s examinees could also increase their chances of entering Wenchang Palace.

Therefore, the exam gangsters would not be merciful to Wenchang Palace’s examinees.

This is the rule outside Book Mountain!

Unfortunately, they had not yet acted when someone else came over, forcing them to stop.

They thought they were flawless, yet they didn’t know that Rabbit saw everything.

Yet, Rabbit still appeared entirely innocent, maintaining an utterly harmless and naive demeanor of trusting them.

More than a dozen people arrived, not together but in four distinct groups.

They were a bit surprised to see each other, but were even more startled to see Rabbit and the trio all injured.

Someone shouted, "Boss Mo, what happened here?"

Boss Mo also recognized the other, "Jing Huzi? What are you guys doing here? Weren’t you in the south?"

The man with a fierce tiger painted on him, wearing a tiger-skin hat, said, "Nothing much, just heard some fighting over here, so came to have a look, you know?"

They were all old examinees of Wenchang Palace, having participated in the Heaven and Earth Association exams several times, so they knew each other well.

These old ruffians knew each other’s capabilities, being quite equally matched.

Having failed to enter Wenchang Palace several times, they had become familiar with the rules here, rallied some manpower, and gained some influence.

Moreover, they had secretly divided up the territory, agreeing that any Wenqu Palace examinee who entered their area was their target to deceive, and others could not interfere.

Normally, no one would cross the boundary, but this time Jing Huzi had unexpectedly shown up; although he said it was because he heard fighting sounds, everyone knew it was impossible to hear such distant sounds THOUSANDS of kilometers away—it was clear that he was trying to poach territory.

However, since Boss Mo was injured, it wasn’t suitable to start conflict with Jing Huzi but instead he courteously, yet insincerely, bowed and said, "Jing Huzi, Daoist fellow, much appreciated."

Jing Huzi chuckled, "You’re welcome... What happened here, Boss Mo? How did you get injured?"

Boss Mo hesitated for a moment and didn’t really want to say.

But Rabbit shouted, "Just now someone was chasing to kill me, and these three brothers saved me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone finally noticed the chubby Rabbit next to Boss Mo.

Everyone simultaneously looked at Boss Mo as if to ask, what’s with the rabbit?

Boss Mo said, "This rabbit... well, it was being chased, and we helped save it."

As soon as he said this, everyone around laughed. Save someone?

This certainly wasn’t within the business scope of Wenchang Palace’s examinees. While everyone was skeptical, Rabbit stared at them with wide, watery, innocent, harmless, and unknowing eyes and shouted, "Really, really! If it weren’t for Boss Mo showing up, I would have been killed by that man! It was terrifying... truly terrifying,

With a single slap, he sent us all flying. We nearly died.

Fortunately, you all arrived."

The crowd frowned upon hearing this.

If Boss Mo had said this, they might have discounted it somewhat, as Boss Mo was likely exaggerating the enemy’s strength to make his own injuries less embarrassing.

But Rabbit seemed to be a complete novice, not the type to lie.

As the saying goes, children and fools speak the truth.

The crowd chose to believe Rabbit.

Jing Huzi asked, "Boss Mo, did you get a clear look at that person?"

Boss Mo shook his head, "I couldn’t see clearly. That person was enveloped in golden light and moved extremely fast. We were overturned in a single encounter."

The brows of Jing Huzi and the others were tightly furrowed. "What identity does that fellow have? Do you know?"

Boss Mo continued to shake his head...

Someone scoffed, "Near Book Mountain, who else could it be that attacked us?"

"Surely not? The examinees from Wenqu Palace are all Great Scholars from various regions. These people are good-natured, devoted to the path of literature, and hold themselves in high regard. There has almost never been an incident where they attacked the examinees from Wenchang Palace."

Another person added, "Even if they did engage, their vast righteous Qi is merely convenient for suppressing those on the Evil Path and Demon Cultivators, offering us no inherent advantage.

We are not necessarily afraid of them!"

"Hard to say, although those Great Scholars are generally mild, there are also those as fierce as fire among them. If they are annoyed by us ambushing the Wenqu Palace’s examinees, it wouldn’t be strange for them to lash out harshly."

The crowd was buzzing with various speculations.

The disturbance here was too great and continuously attracted more people.

With each person adding their word, the events that had occurred became known.

Just then, someone loudly called, "Everyone is guessing back and forth, all baseless. Why not ask the key figures!"

With that said, everyone’s gaze turned towards Yi Zheng and the three from Boss Mo’s side.

Fearing becoming the target of everyone, Boss Mo immediately clarified, "I’ve told you everything I saw. There’s nothing more to say."

Then Boss Mo led his men away, leaving behind that pitiable, innocent, and adorable Rabbit.

A man with a square scarf on his head stepped forward, "Little Rabbit, can you tell us why that Golden Light Man was chasing you? Spare no details, tell us everything."

Ordinarily, one wouldn’t agree so readily.

After all, it might be someone from Wenqu Palace, representing a chance to enter Wenchang Palace.

But this Rabbit was clearly too young, too naive, too selfless, too foolish; he immediately nodded, blinking his innocent big eyes and said, "Alright.

I came to take the Wenchang Palace examination, and on the way, I passed by a cave.

Me and my few friends were quite curious, so we gathered around.

We then saw a person squatting in the cave, guarding a cyan mushroom surrounded by golden Arrays.

He saw us and immediately cursed us as villains from Wenchang Palace and declared he would exterminate us on behalf of Wenqu Palace.

We were so scared that we turned and ran, but my friends were gradually killed by him.

I barely managed to run here, never thinking he’d actually chase us.

Just when I thought I was surely doomed, Boss Mo arrived."

Coming to the sorrowful part, Little Rabbit’s eyes brimmed with tears, and eventually, he burst into loud crying.

Nobody cared about Little Rabbit’s crying, and naturally, nobody noticed the cunning in the depths of the Rabbit’s eyes.

They murmured among themselves for a long time until someone whispered, "A cyan-colored mushroom, could it be the legendary Spirit Jade Gentleman?!"

"Sss! Spirit Jade Gentleman? It’s said to grow only in places rich with Vast Energy. Consuming it greatly opens one’s Spirit Wisdom and enhances Comprehension, a rare Spiritual Medicine in the world that can improve Spirit Wisdom and Comprehension!"

"No wonder that Golden Light wanted to kill and silence us. He might not be a person from Wenqu Palace..."

"No, he is from Wenqu Palace!" This time, Rabbit spoke out, defiantly shouting.

The crowd was just about to object, but then thought, why should they object?

What a good excuse this was to strike at their opponents and seize the Treasure.

Thus the man with the cyan square scarf laughed, "Right, he is from Wenqu Palace! Damn it, since when can Wenqu Palace’s examinees bully our Wenchang Palace’s examinees?

Don’t be afraid Rabbit, I’ve got your back!"

The crowd internally cursed the other for his cunning schemes, all thinking about how to use such an excuse to also get involved.

As everyone was pondering what pretext to use to intervene,

Rabbit timidly spoke up, "He’s very powerful, you alone might find it hard to win. I think with so many of us here, it’s best if we all join forces and go together."
