What Do You Mean, "Unofficial Histories Record It"? Explain Yourself!
"That's true. How old was Zhang Lexuan at the time? Around eleven or twelve years old. Her whole family was brutally murdered, her spirit was shattered, and all she wanted was revenge. She had almost no other choice but to beg Mu En."
Yin Hongye complained, "I really don't understand what Mu En was thinking back then."
"I remember Bei Bei was with Tang Ya, right?" Qian Renxue asked. "So Bei Bei, while having a fiancée, went and got involved with Tang Ya, right?"
"The truth is, Bei Bei only learned about Zhang Lexuan's situation after she became entangled with Tang Ya. That's how it's recorded in unofficial history, but the real situation is unknown," Mu Hongchen added.
At that moment, outside the Heavenly Screen, Bei Bei pointed at the light screen and shouted, "What do you mean by 'the truth is unknown'? Explain yourself! That's how history records it, why did you add that line? You're slandering me!"
He's truly innocent! This is blatant slander!
He and Zhang Lexuan are innocent.
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Screen, the people were still discussing the matter.
"So, is this life-saving grace just a shackle?" Qian Renxue asked.
"Pretty much, at least it looks like a shackle," Yin Hongye said. "However, with Mu En's strength, killing a few Evil Soul Master is just a piece of cake. If it weren't for the lack of other evidence, and the fact that he died relatively young, only living to be a little over two hundred years old, it would be hard to believe that he had any further plans. After all, a legitimate branch of the Sun Moon faction did eventually enter Shrek Academy Sun Moon Returns to Shrek Academy."
He didn't speculate wildly. Although there Light Martial Soul Liaison, there was little other evidence. The records only mentioned the Heavenly Soul Empire.
"What happened to Tang Ya that?" Qian Renxue asked.
"Afterwards, Bei Bei argued with Mu En, and then, in a fit of anger, moved out of the Inner Court. Later, Mu En felt that Shrek Academy owed the Tang Sect, so he premeditated Tang Ya's situation," Yin Hongye said disdainfully. "But so what? Facts are facts, and what's owed can't be repaid. When Zhang Lexuan was at her weakest and most painful, Mu En restrained her. If I were Zhang Lexuan, with the strength, I would immediately sever Mu En's lineage and kill Bei Bei. If we really had to fulfill the marriage contract, isn't a ghost marriage still a marriage?"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue felt a chill run down her spine. This person was truly from the underworld. Isn't a ghost marriage still a marriage? How could he even say something like that?
But it does fit Yin Hongye's personality; this person cannot tolerate being threatened.
"And what about Protect Shrek Academy for Life?" Qian Renxue asked. "How do you accomplish that?"
"That's even simpler. First, as I've already said, a ghost marriage. Two dead people are fine, one dead person is fine too." Yin Hongye's voice was cold and eerie. "There are many ways to protect Shrek Academy. Wouldn't it be just as feasible if I destroyed everything that posed a threat to the Shrek Academy? After all, protection is a concept, a very broad one."
"As for whether I offend anyone or not, whether I live or die, it doesn't matter. Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre; that's Shrek Academy's motto."
After listening, Qian Renxue felt that everything he said made sense; Yin Hongye had truly figured out all the loopholes in the rules.
If I die, that will be my final destination.
Or perhaps, I'm either on the path of offending people, or on the path of offending people.
Even in death, it is still a lifetime.
How could there be such a person in this world? Perhaps he used to swear to his Martial Soul every day, "I will not kill anyone."
Of course, he's right. Yin Hongye used to use this tactic to defend himself.
He swore an oath to his Martial Soul, how could it be false?
Unfortunately, Yin Hongye and her Martial Soul were inseparable.
Make a vow to yourself!
Its credibility is questionable.
Beyond the Heavenly Screen, it was still the era of the Unrivaled Tang Clan.
Sea God Pavilion.
Yan Shaozhe changed several times as he listened to what Yin Hongye said. If Zhang Lexuan were to imitate Yin Hongye, it would be a real disaster.
I cannot use school rules to oppress others; this is a school motto established by our ancestors.
The laws of our ancestors must not be changed!
His gaze finally turned to Mu En, "Teacher, was Bei Bei's engagement to Zhang Lexuan really taken advantage of her vulnerability?"
Hearing his words, Mu En looked up, but remained silent for a long while before slowly speaking, "Bei Bei's parents passed away when he was still young. I was afraid he would be lonely and have no one to carry on his family line. So when I met Zhang Lexuan, I impulsively arranged a marriage between the two of them, so they could look after each other."
"I didn't think that much at the time, who knew there would be something to do with Tang Ya. Looking back now, I realize... I didn't do it properly."
Yan Shaozhe opened his mouth as if to say something, but wisely kept it closed.
At this moment, Zhang Lexuan sat by the window, listening to the words falling from the Heavenly Screen, one by one. He listened for a long time and remained silent for a long time.
His face was expressionless, and his hands hung limply on his arms, remaining motionless.
He recalled the year he was twelve, when his entire family was brutally murdered, and at that time he had no other choice but to plead with Mu En.
But the person in the Heavenly Screen spoke very bluntly: this was an agreement made when he was at his weakest and most miserable. From their perspective, it was indeed taking advantage of someone in distress.
Just then, a voice rang out outside his room; it was Cai Mei'er's.
"Lexuan, don't overthink it. What the Heavenly Screen said was just a suspicion."
She was genuinely afraid that Zhang Lexuan would follow suit. This plan was something anyone could execute; it was incredibly simple, requiring only the ability.
This is truly terrifying.
Zhang Lexuan will spend her whole life repaying a debt of gratitude that she can never fully repay.
Zhang Lexuan looked out the window. The sky was overcast, much like his mood at that moment—sadness, an indescribable sadness.
In the Sun and Sun Moon Empire, although Kong Deming was unclear about the specific meaning, it seemed that the moon was in contact with him.
"No, Shrek Academy must be bombed again!"
Under the Heavenly Screen, Yin Hongye and her group returned to Mingdu.
On the way, Qian Renxue was still pondering those words, her brows furrowed slightly. "How could Mu En be so muddle-headed?"
"Who knows if he's genuinely confused or just pretending?" Yin Hongye leaned back in her seat, her tone casual. "Bei Bei only started officially helping Tang Ya establish the Tang Sect after Tang Ya left Shrek Academy. Before that, he was saving money with Tang Ya."
"Young Master, you're experiencing life with a poor girl. For example, in a certain book, the Pope the Spirit Hall falls in love with the penniless Grandmaster Fart."
Qian Renxue's lips twitched. Wasn't this the truth?
Return a certain book.
This probably isn't a history book.
Mu Hongchen added, "I still recommend 'Bread is Too Expensive to Afford, Sweep the World and Be Yourself,' that one's better."
"You can also read 'I Couldn't Get into a Famous Soul Master Academy Soul Master Academy, But I Made It In,'" Yin Hongye added.
Qian Renxue's lips twitched. These two really read all sorts of books. "So, saving money to revive the Tang Sect? With Bei Bei's status, even if she skimmed a little from between her fingers, she'd earn more than she would working a regular job."
Yin Hongye was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "You don't even have Wang Baochuan's mindset? That's a miracle."
Who is Wang Baochuan?
"Never mind that!" Yin Hongye continued, "Since he's so rich, acquiring a piece of land shouldn't be difficult. He doesn't even need to be Shrek City; as long as he reveals his identity, there are plenty of people eager to give him land."
"The Tang Sect can build wherever they want, and with the Shrek Academy's reputation, who dares to offend them?"
"But ten thousand years ago, there was a sect that didn't even have Soul Emperor with the best Soul Ring Configuration, yet it dared to attack the Tang Sect."
