After listening to Zhang Lexuan pour her heart out, Xiao Yi's lips twitched slightly. He suddenly felt that he should not have tried to be the good guy.
Fine, she was confused, upset, and wanted to run away—but what did she mean by wanting to beat him up because of Bei Bei?
Even more outrageous, the ultimate purpose of secretly watching him all afternoon had actually been to find a chance to teach him a lesson?
Xiao Yi decided to let Zhang Lexuan know that her guilt had come far too early.
"Senior Sister, Bei Bei and I actually made up a long time ago. He has already let go of his distracting thoughts and plans to return to the Tang Sect to devote himself to cultivation."
Zhang Lexuan abruptly looked up, and the guilt in her eyes instantly surged even stronger. She really was an idiot.
With a trace of regret in his tone, Xiao Yi continued, "And I had originally planned to help Bei Bei completely stabilize the Bright Sacred Dragon bloodline within him someday, so that his Martial Soul could undergo its final transformation."
The moment those words came out, the self-reproach in Zhang Lexuan's heart nearly overflowed. Her lips moved as she was about to offer a sincere apology, but Xiao Yi cut her off directly.
"Unfortunately, because of your unreasonable tantrum today, I've decided to take back that idea." Xiao Yi put on a deeply wounded expression, his tone carrying faint regret. "I had meant well and planned to pave the way for his advancement, yet you took out your anger on me for no reason and started a fight. There's no need for me to keep doing something so thankless."
Zhang Lexuan froze on the spot, her pupils trembling slightly as dense bitterness welled
