Chapter 586: Chapter 556 You Go, I Won’t Go

When the Rabbit rushed up the eight-hundred-thousandth step, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

He really wasn’t quite suited for uproarious laughter...

But he stopped smiling soon, because after rushing up the eight-hundred-thousand steps, the Rabbit didn’t run anymore, he just sat down on the steps and didn’t move.

"What is he doing?" everyone wondered.

Someone quickly released a Qi Shield in front of them, yelling, "Be careful he doesn’t pee!"

"Calm down, it’s too far away. Even if he pees out all his blood, it won’t splatter this far," someone else shouted.

"He sat down—could it be... he wants to poop?"

"Do you poop sitting down?"

"..."

Li Hanlin and Liu Haichao also frowned. "Why... isn’t he running anymore? Could it be that after the eight-hundred-thousand steps, the difficulty spiked so suddenly, just like at six-hundred-thousand steps, to the point where he also can’t move an inch?"

Then, they all saw the Rabbit waving his little hands, shouting, "Wenqu Star Lord, I have completed my task. I’ve come up the eight-hundred-thousand steps, and I even knocked down half of the ruffians from Wenchang Palace before, so now I can enter Wenqu Palace, right?

Once I enter Wenqu Palace, it means I’ve won the bet.

Come on, pack up your things and come with me to the Confucian Sect to teach my disciples, will you?"

This shout instantly darkened the previously proud and joyful face of Wenqu Star.

The candidates were all shocked and bewildered.

Although both Wenchang Star Lord and Wenqu Star Lord were masters of literature, almost indistinguishable in their prowess,

Still, Wenchang Star Lord leaned towards martial arts, while Wenqu Star Lord leaned towards literature, so, intuitively, students always considered Wenqu Star Lord slightly superior when seeking instruction.

And truly, much like a haughty literati, Wenqu Star Lord not only had many rules but was also very strict, not giving an inch.

He never taught outside, never lowered his standards for accepting students, which was known throughout All Heavens.

Yet now, this Rabbit was actually making Wenqu Star Lord leave with him to teach his pupils?

This...

Just shocked everyone’s jaws to the ground!

Internally they screamed, "How is this possible?!"

Wenchang Star Lord burst out laughing, spitting out a mouthful of tea, "Oh, so you made a bet with him too, huh? Hahaha...

Who would have thought, Wenqu Star Lord, you said you would never leave Book Mountain to teach, that those who wanted to learn should come up the mountain, otherwise you wouldn’t teach them.

Well now, a single Rabbit has made you break your own rules, hahaha...

Let me think, where would a Rabbit take you to teach his descendants?

Rabbit’s den?

Vast prairie?

Tsk tsk...

Ah dear, you who only taught the most exceptional talents, will you now only be teaching a bunch of lowly skilled, dim-witted little Rabbits?

In the future, when I see you, will I have to call you ’Rabbit Master’?

A bet’s a bet, Wenqu Star Lord, you can’t go back on your word now, can you? We of Book Mountain are gentlemen whose word is their bond, what’s said goes, what’s thrown can’t be recovered...

You’d better not disgrace Book Mountain."

As Wenchang Star Lord laughed uncontrollably, he took a large gulp from the teapot, reveling in the delightful sensation!

Wenqu Star Lord slowly looked towards Wenchang Star Lord, then smiled and said, "For the coming year, you will help me teach them."

Splutter!

Wenchang Star Lord spat out his tea once again, staring blankly at Wenqu Star Lord, before regaining his senses after a long while, "I won’t go!"

Wenqu Star Lord replied, "A bet’s a bet, Wenchang Star Lord, you can’t go back on your word now, can you? We of Book Mountain are gentlemen whose word is their bond, what’s said goes, what’s thrown can’t be recovered...

You’d better not disgrace Book Mountain."

Repeating the same words, Wenqu Star Lord quoted them back.

Only then did Wenchang Star Lord remember that he lost and had to help Wenqu Star Lord teach some people.

And those people were the very disciples of the Rabbit!

Wenqu Star Lord kindly pointed at the chicken, the Rabbit, and other animals who had just finished berating each other on the mountain path and were now resting, "I forgot to tell you, the ones you’ll be teaching are not little Rabbits like him or his children, but those... um, chicken-like, rabbit-like creatures..."

Wenchang Star Lord was dumbfounded.

He had experienced their sharp tongues, which could really spout impressive speeches, saliva flying everywhere, and each one of them had faces full of muscles, eyes bulging like gongs, the kind who’d rather throw punches than hurl insults, roughnecks to the core!

Teach them?

He’d rather teach a bunch of adorable little rabbit cubs!

Wenchang Star Lord murmured, "Although I believe in teaching without discrimination, doesn’t this seem a bit too much to ask of someone?"

Then Wenchang Star Lord got fired up and, pointing at Wenqu Star Lord, said, "Wenqu Star Lord, you son of a bitch! No wonder you bet me on this; you had a trap set for me all along, didn’t you?"

Wenqu Star Lord shook his head and said, "Wasn’t I the one you found to make the bet with? It was you who came out shouting. You have to accept the loss in a wager, so pack up your official robes."

Then Wenqu Star Lord’s expression turned serious and he said, "Before that, you need to do me a favor!"

Wenchang Star Lord was astonished, "Do you a favor?"

He then jumped up, furiously saying, "You just screwed me over, I’m full of resentment, my anger hasn’t even been vented yet, and I still have to do you a favor? What are you thinking? How can your heart be so big?"

Wenqu Star Lord didn’t get angry and just calmly watched the rabbit in the distance; Wenchang Star Lord also looked over.

The rabbit was still making a fuss on the eighty-thousandth step.

Wenchang Star Lord, who had lived for countless years and was a sly old timer, looked at the rabbit, then at the Path of Duty, and finally stamped his foot and declared, "I’ll help!"

The next moment, Wenchang Star Lord let out a great shout!

"Bold Rabbit, outside Book Mountain you ensnared and killed my Wenchang Palace examinees, do you realize your crime?"

Following that, everyone saw a golden light shining from afar, and then Wenchang Star Lord appeared. His face fierce, his demeanor stern and commanding, his eyes brimming with a murderous aura, he bellowed like the vast ocean, "Rabbit, for murder you shall pay with your life!"

Yi Zheng was so scared that he jumped eight meters high on the spot, screaming, "Holy shit, I’m still taking the exam, you... you can’t kill me!"

Wenchang Star Lord snorted coldly, "I make the rules, what if I kill you?"

Yi Zheng shouted, "I’m protected by Wenqu Palace, not Wenchang Palace!"

Wenchang Star Lord replied, "Wenqu Star Lord isn’t at Book Mountain, I call the shots here! Rabbit, you killed my examinees first, now it’s only fair that I kill you. Today I shall chop off your rabbit head, pluck your fur, burn your body as punishment!"

Yi Zheng’s face turned dark, "You’re not after revenge, you’re just hungry, aren’t you?"

"Impudence! Behead!"

Wenchang Star Lord raised his hand and slapped down.

Seeing that his opponent was serious, Yi Zheng turned around and bolted!

However, he had already been in the state of comprehending the Path of Duty, so even as he ran, he would still hear the sounds of the Path, taking in articles and scriptures. If it had been anyone else, they certainly wouldn’t have been able to run fast.

But Yi Zheng was different from everyone else.

Others strive to thoroughly understand the essence of the articles, the inner coldness of the ideas, relationships between previous and following sentences, underlying philosophies, quoted classics, and the deepest secrets of calligraphy, character, brush, and painting...

As well as all the different "Ways" touched upon in the article!

The complexity was enough to instantly drain anyone’s spirit and energy.

However, Yi Zheng was different; he wasn’t a scholar and couldn’t understand all that stuff.

Because he couldn’t understand it, he was unaffected—regardless of how flowery the language, whether the referenced classics were indeed classic, he only looked at that whiff of "the Way"!

Watching Yi Zheng sprint with all his might, Wenchang Star Lord slightly frowned, realizing something others hadn’t noticed as he got closer.

It was that the rabbit had no Heavenly Demon to distract the mind!

Among all the creatures in the world, without exception, everyone’s cultivation and seeking of enlightenment would attract Heavenly Demons to disturb their minds. One carelessness and they could fall into a demonic state, dying and dissipating.

However, these Heavenly Demons are formless and intangible, difficult to detect without sufficient strength and means.

But Wenchang Star Lord was different; as a scholar with an upright spirit, he naturally restrained Heavenly Demons and could sense their presence.

Almost every person on the Path of Duty had a Heavenly Demon, but this rabbit showed not the slightest trace of such demons, which was quite surprising to him.

"In the world, there have been beings undisturbed by the Heavenly Demons. Such people have pure hearts, devoid of all stray thoughts.

Heavenly Demons feed on stray and evil thoughts, taking pleasure in leading people into a demonic state.

Faced with an absolutely pure heart, they find themselves without sustenance or joy and give up.

But looking at this rabbit, he hardly seems like someone with a pure heart...

He seems more like a hooligan than I was during the examinations.

And yet, why is there no Heavenly Demon harassing him?

Strange, strange...

Could it be that my eyes deceive me?

Could he actually be a pure-hearted rabbit inside?

Otherwise, why would Wenqu Star Lord want to take him into Wenqu Palace?"

Wenchang Star Lord would never guess that this rabbit wasn’t pure of heart but had once used the Kunlun Mirror to fight his way into the Heavenly Demon Realm. The weaker Heavenly Demons were terrified by him, knowing this rabbit ate Heavenly Demons!

He would devour them by the mouthful, crunching them crisply!

Hence, even without the Kunlun Mirror, nobody dared to trouble him.

Because of his ignorance and pure intentions, without any Heavenly Demon to distract his mind, and having consumed various cultivation techniques and different "Ways," his understanding of "the Way" was higher than any of the examinees present, allowing him to charge forward as unstoppable as a broken dam.
