Chapter 453: Evildoers 2
Someone felt that this idea was inappropriate. “But… this doesn’t seem right. Jun Mohuang helped us after all…”
“What kind of help is this? We’ll help her to the end. If she brings us along and guarantees that we can pa.s.s the entrance examination safely, that’ll be called help!”
One of the fawners snorted coldly, obviously disdainful of this explanation.
As a result, those who did not agree with this proposal immediately became fence sitters.
Soon, they rested for a while on the spot and began to leave to look for Bai Leiming in the a.s.sessment area.

By the spring, Jun Mohuang finally had time to take a simple bath. She tidied herself up and roasted another wild boar.
Naturally, these people were stunned by her beauty when they saw her true appearance.
They had seen Jun Mohuang covered in dirt before, but they did not expect her to be so beautiful.
This was especially so for s.h.i.+ Feng. Thinking of how he had previously treated Jun Mohuang as a weak woman to protect, he felt that it was funny.
However, as he was kind at that time and only saved someone’s life, he felt a little regretful thinking about it.
This time, with outsiders around, Jun Mohuang did not use the Gold-Swallowing Fire or the Jade Spirit Cores to season the roasted meat.
s.h.i.+ Feng and his sister, the girl named Xiao Ling, and the other four commoners were sitting together and sharing the meat.
“Wasn’t it… too cruel to kill so many n.o.bles just now?”
Xiao Ling slowly nibbled the roasted pork in her hands. Thinking of the b.l.o.o.d.y scene just now, she couldn’t help but be afraid.
With so many n.o.bles dead, if people knew that she left with Jun Mohuang in the future, would their families come looking for her to get even?
Upon hearing her words, Jun Mohuang pursed her lips and said nothing.
“Cruel, Xiao Ling. Without Sister Jun, Brother and the others would have been beaten to death, and I would have been defiled. Sister Jun killed them, and they deserved it. How could you say that Sister Jun was cruel? Apologize to Sister Jun!”
s.h.i.+ Shan looked at Xiao Ling disapprovingly. The others also had the same expression, obviously disagreeing with Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling looked at s.h.i.+ Feng and realized that he didn’t agree either. She had no choice but to apologize.
“I… Sister Jun, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that. It’s just that this is the first time I’m seeing this scene and I’m a little afraid.”
Xiao Ling shrank her neck and mumbled.
Jun Mohuang said faintly, “If you can’t overcome this emotion, you should withdraw from the a.s.sessment as soon as possible.”
These commoners were not like the descendants of n.o.ble families who had seen the marketplace. It was normal for them to be afraid of killing for the first time.
But if she wanted to continue cultivating, this fear was harmful to her. She might as well give up as soon as possible.
“I’ll get over it.”
But these words sounded different to Xiao Ling.
She felt that Jun Mohuang was looking down on her for being timid.
But Xiao Ling did not show this thought. She lowered her head and easily concealed her emotions.
“That’s good.”
Jun Mohuang wouldn’t deliberately pay attention to an unimportant Xiao Ling. She ate a few pieces of roasted pork and said to them.
“I have other things to do. I can only take you for a day at most.”
In fact, it did not take a day. After half a day, the injuries of s.h.i.+ Feng and the others were more or less healed.
“Okay, Miss Jun. We’ve just discussed it. Many commoners are being enslaved by other n.o.bles. We want to help them.”
Jun Mohuang did not comment. “Think about it carefully. They might not appreciate it.”
