Chapter 193: Chapter 192: A Secret Plot? Or a Courier Delivery?_1

Tianpeng called out, "Stop! Here, take this!"

Tianpeng felt utterly humiliated today, but the only consolation was that nobody knew who he was. If that damn rabbit shouted out his name, he really would have lost all face.

Grinding his teeth, Tianpeng took out a golden ring and threw it to the rabbit, saying, "This is the Eight-ringed Golden Circle, which can transform into eight golden rings when thrown, binding a person tightly so they can’t move an inch. It can also be thrown to hit someone, powerful enough to split open mountains and rocks!"

Having said that, Tianpeng turned and walked away. At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to leave this place, not even wanting to stay for a second longer, lest something unexpected happen.

The result was that he heard the rabbit calling from behind, "Hold on, let’s talk about the price for keeping my mouth shut, shall we?"

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng almost fell headfirst to the ground, then scurried away in the most embarrassing manner imaginable...

Qin Shou laughed heartily three times, packed up his belongings, and with a bow to the people around him said, "Thank you for your support, I’m done for the day, time to go!"

The crowd felt slightly disappointed upon hearing this. After all, they were still curious about the scriptures the Shanye Immortal had taken.

Meanwhile, a pair of eyes in the crowd flickered uncertainly, glancing maliciously at Qin Shou before melting back into the throng and leaving.

Qin Shou paid them no mind and said to General Bai Ling, "Thank you, General."

Bai Ling’s originally stern face softened with a smile as he replied, "Don’t mention it. You helped us get back at someone who deserved it, and the higher-ups are pleased. Lending you a hand was only right. However, you can’t conduct your business this way anymore, otherwise, you’ll damage the reputation of Yunding Market."

Qin Shou waved his hand and said, "Don’t worry, it’s not often one comes across such fools..."

Bai Ling was left speechless by the remark... but on second thought, he realized the same trick really couldn’t be pulled off a second time in this place.

Qin Shou waved his hand and left.

Bai Ling smiled, about to leave as well, when a heavenly soldier casually picked up the bowl Qin Shou had pressed against the ground and called out, "General Bai, there’s a piece of paper under this!"

Bai Ling was startled, went over to pick it up and saw a single character written on it: "Dao."

Upon closer inspection, Bai Ling’s eyes suddenly lit up. He treasured the paper as if it were a precious find, tucked it into his chest, and said with a smile, "Take good care of that rabbit if he comes again."

The heavenly soldiers nodded in understanding.

Then, Bai Ling left, feeling cheerful.

Before long, the piece of paper made its way to Bai Ling’s superior, the Grand Marshal of Yunding Market who oversaw all Heavenly Court trade. Soon after, a secret order was issued to the major markets: "Facilitate the rabbit wherever it goes."

At the same time, in the Earthly Immortal Realm’s Wukui Mountain, within the Kuisong cave, three people sat together discussing something.

The one leading the conversation, dressed in black with a goatee, was a middle-aged man who furrowed his brows slightly and said, "When the Old Master left through Hangu Pass to the west, the guard commander of the pass, Yin Xi, obtained a scripture entitled ’the Book of Dao.’ Later, Hangu Pass was attacked at night, and Yin Xi disappeared along with the ’Book of Dao.’ The Tianji Pavilion once expended great effort to divine the whereabouts of ’the Book of Dao,’ ultimately concluding it was not in the Earthly Immortal Realm."

"I never expected someone to bring back ’the Book of Dao’..."

"Kuisong, are you certain this is the ’Tao Te Ching’ left by the Saint of old?" Opposite Kuisong sat a man in a buff yellow robe with a three-ring mark. It was the Sanhuan Cave Master whom Tianpeng had encountered in Yunding Market.

"I can’t be sure, but from what our friend described, the content within the Dao character left by that rabbit can let a Human Immortal break through to Level Nine in an instant; plus, the first time that rabbit wrote the three words of ’Tao Te Ching’ on paper... Sanhuan friend, do you think this is a coincidence?" Kuisong spoke as if asking, but his tone was already affirmative.

Sanhuan Cave Master’s eyes immediately shone with golden light, took a sip of tea, and said, "I have looked into that rabbit, its origins are quite simple, just a wild rabbit from the Moon. Later, a fairy took him in and raised him on the Moon, and only then did he leave the Moon. Such a rabbit, yet in possession of such secrets..."

"Such fortune falling into our laps," Kuisong said with a light smile.

Sanhuan Cave Master also smiled, then looked to the side at the person who had been silent all along, clad in bright red clothes, whose gender was indistinct, and asked, "Sanqian friend, what do you think?"

This person was also one of the powerhouses that Tianpeng had recognized in Yunding Market, Yao Sanqian.

With a delicate pinch of her orchid fingers, Yao Sanqian smiled gently but with a hint of eeriness and said to the two, "What can this servant think? Just sitting here and watching... If the two of you have plans, then go ahead, this servant will not interfere."

"Sanqian friend, you are already at the level of a Heavenly Immortal, and perhaps you don’t care for these scriptures. But I must remind you, this is a scripture written by a Saint, when Yin Xi, guard of Hangu Pass, already a Golden Immortal, still treasured it like a priceless treasure. Thus, you can see, these scriptures are also useful to Heavenly Immortals," Kuisong said with a frown and a touch of displeasure.

It was normal to be displeased, as several people were plotting something that must be hidden from sight. If everyone was in on it, it would be like grasshoppers on a string. But if one grasshopper suddenly jumps out of sync, it adds an element of unpredictability to the mix.

Yao Sanqian pursed her lips and smiled, "Friend, this servant has said, just sitting here watching... Rest assured, whatever you do, this servant will not interfere, just watching, and will absolutely not speak of it to others. If I do, may the heavenly tribulation come even more fiercely."

Yao Sanqian actually took the oath directly, which stunned Kuisong and Sanhuan Cave Master for a moment, but they nodded their heads and no longer pursued the matter.

In the Earthly Immortal Realm, though taking an oath does not guarantee it will come to pass, it still adds a hurdle in one’s heart, which is normally insignificant. However, during a heavenly tribulation, it could turn into a heart demon and thus lead to total annihilation.

This is the fundamental reason why most people are reluctant to make vows.

With Yao Sanqian’s assurance, Kuisong and Sanhuan Cave Master then went to another place to secretly conspire.

Watching the two depart, Yao Sanqian smiled slightly, as if everything in the world was but a fleeting breeze, savoring the tea, squinting her eyes in contentment and pleasure...

In the sky, Tianpeng had just descended from the clouds, returning to the Milky Way Navy camp, when he suddenly froze, then slapped himself across the face!

With a low curse, Tianpeng said, "You fool! You forgot what you went there for. After giving away the money and the magic treasure, how could you forget to follow to the Moon Palace? What a huge loss!"

Tianpeng, not giving up, looked left, looked right, then checked the time, calculating back and forth, it seemed there was just enough time left to visit the Moon Palace.

Tianpeng clenched his teeth and said, "After spending so much, not to take a look would be too much of a loss!"

Having said that, Tianpeng thought of that fat rabbit and felt immense frustration. After pondering a while and sneering, he said, "Well, since Chang’e will return by evening, why must I see that rabbit? I’ll just sneak in, take a glance, and leave. What can he do to me?"

With that thought, Tianpeng rose into the air, heading for the Moon Palace.
