Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1856: Chapter 1836: Rakshasa and the Five Emperors

”Back then, were there so many sects? The Rakshasa was rumored to be the most likely to break through that barrier and transcend this world. But obviously, she failed,” Mo said calmly. ”Because she failed, the Five Emperors came to be.”

”The Rakshasa and the Five Emperors were from the same era?” Luo Qianqian was bewildered. It felt like someone so formidable shouldn’t have been chased from all sides, building her own network, killing whoever stood in her way, like a divine intervention.

”Yes, not only were they from the same era, but the former Five Emperors were companions of the Rakshasa. And only after Rakshasa’s failure did the Five Emperors emerge,” Mo said calmly.

”Oh my gosh, was it some plot to sabotage her future, or did the Rakshasa exploit her companions and then suffer a backlash from them?” Luo Qianqian asked, confused.

Just as she spoke, she felt the Little Black Bow on her arm tremble discontentedly.

Luo Qianqian furrowed her brows: ”The Rakshasa shouldn’t be a bad person. If she were, wouldn’t this little bow be tainted with evil power too? But I don’t feel any negative energy.”

Just as she finished speaking, she felt a warmth emanating from where the Little Black Bow was stored, making her entire arm comfortable.

She was immediately taken aback. Does the Little Black Bow have its own emotions?

”No one knows the truth,” Mo said calmly. ”But undeniably, the Rakshasa disappeared without a trace after her promotion failed. There is not a single record of her left in the world.”

”Could it be that the Five Emperors were jealous of her and banned all mentions of her?” Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but ask. After all, history taught us about Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s burning of books and burying of scholars, leaving a significant mark.

Moreover, the Five Emperors had the power to dictate fate and wield supreme power. Isn’t anything possible then?

Mo shook his head calmly: ”You know where there is oppression, there is resistance and struggle. The more something is forbidden, the more people want to do it, because achieving it means making history, even if it isn’t for positive reasons.”

”In this world, the victors are always justified,” Luo Qianqian nodded, feeling deeply touched, as she understood this point well.

”Even if the Five Emperors could silence the influential, they couldn’t completely suppress the words and actions of ordinary people. Stories passed by word of mouth or recorded in writing should remain, but there isn’t a single news,” Mo sighed. ”Sometimes, the power of ordinary people is immense. I once saw on TV a phrase that said ’Water can carry a boat as well as it can overturn it,’ and I deeply agree.”

Luo Qianqian twitched her lips, not refuting, however, the Five Emperors seem to all have left positive impressions? And what Mo knows, perhaps common people wouldn’t even be aware of?

Mentioning the Five Emperors, across the mainland, everyone goes mad over them.

Much like the academy’s back mountain, it’s just a potential entrance, right? And yet, even with absolute protection, they still need to form a patrol team, patrolling the academy’s back mountain.

Furthermore, when the mist disappears, the academy might have to open to everyone, because even with backing, it cannot withstand all the forces on the continent.

A sense of sadness envelops.

Mo, meanwhile, seemed accustomed: ”There are still good things, though. At least... under everyone’s gaze, the academy is much safer now. And you can take this time to strengthen yourself. As long as you’re strong enough, people will back off.”

”Aren’t you the strong one now?” Luo Qianqian looked helpless, ”But suddenly it feels like the world isn’t as simple as it seems.”

”Many things aren’t as bright as they appear, after all, our family is originally from the family of the Emperor of Fire, so knowing a little more is normal,” Mo said calmly, then looked at Luo Qianqian and smiled, ”In the future, what you encounter may be even dirtier.”

”Huh?” Luo Qianqian was suddenly dumbfounded.

Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth: ”The bigger the family, the more dirt there is. Not every family is like your family in Nine Heavens Pavilion. You must know, the more power you have, the more eyes are on you, and the more people will try to sabotage you. The harder you fall, the more delight others take.”

He spoke with a tone full of helplessness, continuing: ”But being with me is slightly better because no one can outsmart me with deceit. If you follow Yan... I would poison you daily.”

Luo Qianqian burst out laughing, crying with laughter, revealing her little white teeth: ”Stop kidding around.”

Mo looked at Luo Qianqian and laughed too, but there was an unparalleled seriousness in his expression.

Because he knows that Yan was already serious. Luo Qianqian accepted their family’s secret life-saving formula, which only heirs can possess, so she must marry one of their direct heirs.

However, there’s no specific requirement on who.

And they look alike, offering no particular advantage over each other.

Yan possesses the most extreme Fire Attribute, and Luo Qianqian possesses the extreme water attribute. Perhaps they have something in common.

And Luo Qianqian is the Heavenly Palace Saintess, whoever marries the Saintess gains the world.

Many want to compete for the Saintess.

Mo sighed, but now, after all, he is the one taking the lead.

Though it’s obvious... because he moved a bit faster, he might have to leave sooner, with family inheritance assessments looming, providing a chance for Yan.

Nevertheless, there’s no alternative, since he broke through first.

Also, previously, he had been interacting with Luo Qianqian, which was slightly against the rules, but Yan hadn’t minded, had he?

”... Mo!” Luo Qianqian waved her hand in front of Mo, with a strange look.

Mo suddenly snapped back: ”Hmm, what’s up?”

”You didn’t hear me calling you? What were you thinking so deeply about?” Luo Qianqian pouted.

”Just pondering on what poison to give you,” Mo chuckled, ”What’s the matter?”

”I want you to sneak out some meat; this little glutton’s stomach is growling again...” Luo Qianqian helplessly pointed to Tantan, who was still sweetly sleeping, shaking her head, ”I really suspect there’s a black hole in her stomach?”

She reached out and surprisingly found... Tantan’s stomach was already flat, much different from when it was full.

”Alright, do you want anything else?” Mo smiled while getting up, and only after seeing Luo Qianqian shake her head did he walk over to He Wenyu, and after squatting to say a few words, He Wenyu expertly sliced some meat and brushed it with sauce.
