Chapter 1183: Chapter 341: Capturing the Second Venerable!
Upon hearing her mother’s inquiry, Mandy looked embarrassed and said awkwardly, “I… I actually don’t know anything.”
“I was just walking on the road when suddenly everything went black. When I woke up again, I was already in a cell.”
“Then, my master opened the door of the cell and let me out. After I got out, I wanted to resist him, but he easily subdued me….”
Next, Mandy’s mother also described the whole process of being controlled. The three of them compared notes, filling in the gaps, and roughly pieced together the entire process of Fang Ze’s triple jump this time.
After figuring out how the three of them each fell, their curiosity satisfied, they couldn’t help but start pondering what to do next.
Although faith isn’t exclusive, in cases like theirs where they’re completely controlled, a Venerable would definitely notice something abnormal just by sensing it. So, they were already destined to only follow Fang Ze down a singular, dark path.
Therefore, Fang Ze was their heaven now. With just a little thought, they knew they had to find every way possible to please Fang Ze and gain his favor.
Before Fang Ze went to control Venerable Moon Rabbit, he didn’t give them any tasks; he just told them not to give themselves away and to maintain the order in the Moon Rabbit Palace.
But this was evidently the most basic work, so the three of them wanted to do some extra work that would make Fang Ze see them differently.
As she thought of this, Mandy’s mother suddenly brightened up and said, “I know what we can do.”
“And… it just so happens we have this opportunity.”
Upon hearing Mandy’s mother’s words, the Moon Rabbit Divine Officer couldn’t help but look over.
Mandy’s mother quickly explained the details of how Fang Ze intentionally incited a conflict between the soldiers of the Moon Rabbits.
When they heard that Fang Ze only injured the elite disciples among the Moon Rabbit soldiers without harming the lower-ranking ones, the Moon Rabbit Divine Officer couldn’t help but brighten slightly.
She said thoughtfully, “So… during his transformation, the master might have felt some sympathy for those lower-ranking Moon Rabbit soldiers. That’s why he showed preference during the unrest.”
Mandy’s mother nodded and said, “I think so too.”
She continued, “So… I think we can favor the lower-ranking Moon Rabbit soldiers when handling this conflict, giving them compensation and resources. Improve their lives. And then scold the elite disciples.”
Upon hearing Mandy’s mother’s words, the Moon Rabbit Divine Officer pondered for two seconds, then slightly shook her head and said, “Doing so is too extreme and overboard.”
“The master’s first requirement is for the Moon Rabbit Palace to be stable. If we do it as you said, it might easily cause discontent among the elite disciples, and since the lower-ranking Moon Rabbit soldiers have never received such preferential treatment, it could easily cause them to overthink. This could easily raise new issues.”
“Therefore, let’s stick to the previous method, favoring the elite disciples and scolding the lower-ranking Moon Rabbit soldiers. But…” she changed her tone, “also give some resources and compensation to the lower-ranking Moon Rabbit soldiers.”
“This way, the elite disciples will save face, and the lower ones will gain substance, so there won’t be any upheaval. And, when distributing the resources, have Mandy handle it, inquire a bit more carefully, and give a bit more. Then, when reporting to the master, we only mention the care for the lower-ranking Moon Rabbit soldiers.”
“This way, we can both quell the unrest and probe the master’s attitude. And, if we’re right, it might even endear us to the master.”
A simple balancing method was put forth by the Moon Rabbit Divine Officer, immediately gaining the approval of Mandy’s mother and daughter.
Thus, soon, Mandy’s mother, with the authorization of the Moon Rabbit Divine Officer, began dealing with the matter. She first used the most common attitude for disputes: siding with the elite disciples and scolding the lower-ranking Moon Rabbit soldiers.
Seeing that the Moon Rabbit Divine Officer and Mandy’s mother still stood on their side, the elite disciples felt their dignity preserved, each one became extremely arrogant, and their mood improved.
Subsequently, Mandy’s mother had Mandy go house to house to find out the needs of the lower-ranking Moon Rabbit soldiers and distribute resources to them. The usually humble lower-ranking Moon Rabbit soldiers were immediately convinced and even moved to tears.
Fang Ze’s first target for transformation: Little Loli Beibei, held a bag of cultivation resources personally delivered by Mandy, along with two bags of food, clothing, and a red handkerchief specially prepared by Mandy for her. Her eyes reddened, and she kept thanking Mandy….
She was like a miniature reflection, highlighting the kindness of the lower-ranking Moon Rabbit soldiers.
The whole process of distributing resources saw Mandy, accompanied by the Moon Rabbit Divine Officer observing silently, and Mandy’s mother, all fell silent watching the expressions of gratitude from the lower-ranking Moon Rabbit soldiers for the insignificant resources….
And again, sensing the talents of these Moon Rabbit soldiers vastly surpassed those of the elite disciples.
What they initially did to please Fang Ze made them, for the first time, start thinking about whether the Moon Rabbit Palace’s social structure—class rigidity and hyper-competition—was excessively distorted…..

The sky was already lightening. Director Pang, Wu Hu, Wen Long, and Gu Qing, all drunk and staggering, with arms around each other’s shoulders, walked toward the hotel.
