Working Together for Mutual Benefit
"The Evil Branch is different from the Righteousness Branch. The books they write are like this one, with vulgar and obscene content. Even worse, they depict cannibalism and are utterly inhumane. They constantly explore the darkest desires in the human heart, arousing them and causing readers to lose their humanity." When talking about the Evil Author Hong Tong Dong's face was full of indignation, clearly showing his extreme disgust for the Evil Branch.
After listening to Chairman Hong Tong's explanation, Ma Feifei roughly understood what Chairman Hong Tong meant by the Evil Branch. In fact, it was the evil side. All bad things, desires, and behaviors were listed as the Evil Branch, while justice and goodness were listed as the Righteousness Branch.
This is just like a person's inner self, possessing desires of good and evil, each unwilling to submit to the other, each hoping to assimilate and destroy the other, thereby reaching the point of dominating the entire body.
However, it seems that the Evil Branch is currently stronger, while the Righteousness Branch is being constantly compressed, falling into a weak position and becoming precarious, needing a savior to save the Righteousness Branch.
Just then, Ma Feifei appeared, so naturally the Hong Tong Association President regarded him as a savior, hoping that Ma Feifei could become the Book God Envoy and lead all the righteous book writers in the Three Prefectures Seven Caves to defeat the Evil Branch.
But then again, Ma Feifei doesn't have that ability.
"My lord, I implore you to shoulder the mission of the Book God Envoy and lead all the righteous writers of the Three Prefectures Seven Caves in war against the Evil Branch." Hong Tong bowed deeply to Ma Feifei and pleaded.
The Steward Elder also bowed deeply.
Ma Feifei hesitated for a moment, then said, "What would happen if I refused?"
Hong Tong paused for a moment, then looked up at Ma Feifei, his cloudy eyes deep and his lips slightly upturned, and said, "Sir, you cannot refuse."
Ma Feifei immediately understood the meaning behind the Hong Tong dialect: this was an attempt to force himself on him! If he didn't agree, he probably wouldn't be leaving this hall today.
After thinking for a moment, Ma Feifei finally nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."
In fact, he was not afraid of Hong Tong's threat, after all, he had the protection of the system. If danger occurred, he could leave the Book Battle Continent in time with the help of the system and return to the Mysterious Bookstore.
The reason Ma Feifei agreed was merely a temporary measure. In any case, the so-called great war was unlikely to break out anytime soon. Having the identity of the Book God Envoy would be quite good, as it would at least bring some power and benefits. Ma Feifei planned to gain some advantages first.
Hong Tong, unaware of the many thoughts swirling in Ma Feifei's mind, exchanged a glance with the Steward Elder, their eyes gleaming with delight, and together they bowed, saying, "Your subordinates pay our respects to the Book God Envoy!"
"You're too kind," Ma Feifei said with a smile, helping the two of them up.
Thus, after some discussion, the two sides reached an agreement to save the world. The agreement stipulated that Ma Feifei would personally serve as the Book God Envoy, leading all the righteous book writers from the Three Prefectures Seven Caves to wage a great war against the Evil Author camp, eliminate the Evil Branch, and restore a bright and Qiankun Myriad Worlds.
In return, Ma Feifei would receive all the rights and benefits of the Book God Envoy. Of course, the specific rights and benefits had not yet been outlined in a detailed plan, and Hong Tong needed to inform all the highest leaders of the Three Prefectures Seven Caves before a decision could be made. Ma Feifei wasn't in a hurry about this; he was just happy to get out.
Under Hong Tong's enthusiastic guidance, Ma Feifei finally succeeded in leaving the Author Assessment Guild.
As soon as Ma Feifei stepped out of the guild, he saw Xun Ling and a group of people standing quietly not far away, waiting. When they saw Ma Feifei, they quickly stepped forward, cupped their hands, and said, "Shopkeeper, I have brought the person you asked for. From now on, we are even."
After saying that, Xun Ling waved his hand, and the servants brought over Li Chenzhou and the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey that had been restrained.
"Master!" Although Ma Feifei had changed his appearance, the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey recognized the stranger in front of him at a glance as Ma Feifei in disguise. It showed an excited expression on its face, knelt down, and shouted.
"Shopkeeper!" In contrast, Li Chenzhou wasn't as excited, but a look of surprise appeared on his face. He was clearly surprised that Ma Feifei had managed to save him, and he bowed in gratitude.
Ma Feifei gestured for the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey to stand up, then looked at Xun Ling and smiled, "Thank you very much Master Scribe Xun."
"You're too kind. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Xun Ling's expression wasn't very good. The feud between him and Ma Feifei was quite serious. If it weren't for the fact that the Author Assessment Guild was involved today, he probably would have gotten into a fight with Ma Feifei. However, even so, one thing is one thing. Releasing the person was a requirement for the examination, which didn't mean that the feud between him and Ma Feifei was over. Things had to be done as before.
"Take care, Master Scribe Xun," Ma Feifei said with a smile.
"Farewell!" Xun Ling cupped his hands in farewell, then turned and left decisively.
Ma Feifei watched Xun Ling's departing figure, her eyes flickering, lost in thought.
"Master, he's not a good person," the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey said Rage beside Ma Feifei.
"Hmm." Ma Feifei raised her hand to stop her, saying, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
After saying that, Ma Feifei took the lead and walked forward, but stopped after only two steps, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "Lead the way."
He doesn't know the way...
Ultimately, Li Chenzhou led the way. Ma Feifei did not let Li Chenzhou take him to Yi He Mansion, but went directly back to Wang Han's house. After settling Li Chenzhou in, he found the system. He planned to bring the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey back to the Azure Dragon Continent.
"Ding! The Host-Exclusive Dungeon only supports solo play." The system gave its answer, clearly indicating that Ma Feifei could not bring the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey back to the Azure Dragon Continent, at least not now.
"What should we do then!" Ma Feifei looked at the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, his head also in a headache. After learning about the situation along the way, Ma Feifei had roughly figured out why the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey and Xun Ling left. It was entirely because Zhang Ke took advantage of the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey's lustful nature and brought several female monkeys to seduce and arouse its Sky-reaching Ape Monkey desires.
Then, when the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey was relaxed, he directly used the Soul-Capturing Secret Technique to control Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, and finally used the power of the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey to take them away from the Azure Dragon Continent.
Therefore, the incident back then actually had little to do with the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey. It was merely mind-controlled. The real masterminds were Zhang Ke and Xun Ling, who were the culprits who killed more than 90,000 people in Dubian Town.
Although the matter had nothing to do with the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, it was all done by the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey himself. So Ma Feifei planned to take the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey back to the Azure Dragon Continent so that it could apologize and repent to the more than 90,000 people in the Book Garden. But now, the system actually reminded him that he could not take the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey back.
