Ye Chen: Bei Bei, Then Leave the Tang Sect

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao felt a knot of frustration lodged in his chest, with no way to vent it. His face flushed slightly red.

At that moment, Ye Chen had already arrived in front of Huo Yuhao's stall.

He could not be bothered to pay Huo Yuhao any attention. Instead, he sat directly beside Tang Ya and said with a smile, "Sister Xiaoya, are you free? Let's have dinner together tonight~"

Without even thinking about it, Tang Ya agreed.

Grilled fish might be delicious, but it was not filling. She still had to meditate and cultivate that night, so she definitely needed a proper meal.

Although she had already agreed to have dinner with Bei Bei, she ate with him every day and was getting a little tired of it. Missing one or two meals made no difference.

Bei Bei surely would not mind.

"Xiaoya! You can't eat with him!"

Just then, an angry voice came from a nearby corner. It was Bei Bei!

Bei Bei strode quickly toward Ye Chen, unable to suppress the fury on his face.

It seemed that Bei Bei had been lying in wait here for quite some time.

And that was indeed the case.

Bei Bei had originally come specifically to wait for Ye Chen.

Yet he had not expected to run into this scene.

Tang Ya had clearly planned to have dinner with him today.

The moment Ye Chen arrived, he was trying to steal her away. This was outrageous!

Bah... Tang Ya was his girlfriend. What right did Ye Chen have to eat with Tang Ya?

This was completely backwards!

"Bei Bei, what are you doing? Ye Chen is the Tang Sect Vice Sect Master. Can't you be a little more polite?!" Seeing Bei Bei, Tang Ya did not feel the slightest bit guilty. Instead, she was rather annoyed!

After all, there was nothing between her and Ye Chen. They were only having a meal together.

She was the Tang Sect Master, and Ye Chen was the Vice Sect Master. It was perfectly normal for them to have a meal and discuss the Tang Sect's future development.

On the contrary, Bei Bei's attitude toward Ye Chen made her somewhat displeased.

Bei Bei was at least a senior student. Treating a junior student like this—anyone unaware of the situation would think he was bullying the weak with his status!

"What? Tang Sect Vice Sect Master? When did that happen? Why didn't I know about it? Xiaoya, why didn't you discuss something this important with me?"

Bei Bei's reaction was even more intense than Huo Yuhao's.

After all, Tang Ya had never told him anything about a Tang Sect Vice Sect Master.

He had followed Tang Ya for so long and was still only the senior disciple.

Now Tang Ya was suddenly telling him that a new disciple had arrived and become the Vice Sect Master outright, stepping right over the head of him, the senior disciple. Who could tolerate that?

"What is there to discuss? Ye Chen is strong and talented. If we don't make him Vice Sect Master and give him benefits, why would he join our Tang Sect?"

"Because our Tang Sect has nothing at all?"

Tang Ya looked at Bei Bei as though he were an idiot.

At the same time, a trace of dissatisfaction and disappointment flashed through her eyes.

Bei Bei was being far too immature.

He constantly talked about restoring the Tang Sect's former glory, yet he offered no help whatsoever.

Ye Chen was someone she had painstakingly persuaded to join the Tang Sect. It would have been one thing if Bei Bei did not help, but now he was actually here causing trouble!

This was simply too much!

"But Xiaoya... he, he..."

Bei Bei's face reddened slightly, but he could not get out a single sentence.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing."

At that moment, Ye Chen stepped in to smooth things over.

He looked at Bei Bei and said, "Since you think I'm the problem, then... you can leave the Tang Sect."

"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you... No, wait..."

Bei Bei instantly came to his senses. He nearly exploded with rage as he shouted, "Fuck, why should I leave the Tang Sect instead of you?!!!"

Bei Bei was so angry at that moment that he was starting to lose his mind.

He had thought Ye Chen would obediently get lost from the Tang Sect.

He had not expected this bastard to be so shameless as to tell him to leave instead. This was completely backwards!

"I'm the Tang Sect Vice Sect Master, and I'm also a Soul Ancestor. You're just an ordinary disciple with only the cultivation of a Soul Elder. Of course you should leave the Tang Sect. Is that so hard to understand?"

Ye Chen looked at Bei Bei as though he were mentally deficient as well.

He had been unable to find an excuse to make Bei Bei get lost, but now Bei Bei had delivered himself right to his door. Ye Chen could not let this chance slip away.

The Tang Sect would no longer recruit male disciples in the future. With Bei Bei being a man, it was naturally inappropriate for him to remain in the Tang Sect.

"I..."

Bei Bei choked again.

Seeing that he could not argue with Ye Chen, he turned to Tang Ya for help.

"Xiaoya, he's trying to drive me away. He definitely has ulterior motives. There's absolutely something wrong with this guy!"

"Enough, Bei Bei. You're a fifth-year senior student, so can't you be a little more mature?"

Seeing Bei Bei actually argue with Ye Chen, Tang Ya rolled her eyes helplessly.

It was like an adult arguing with a child—completely meaningless and rather childish.

Bei Bei was at least a senior student, yet he was arguing with Ye Chen until both their faces were red over such a minor issue. It truly disgraced the Tang Sect.

As for Ye Chen...

She even felt that Ye Chen had a point.

Since Bei Bei and Ye Chen had a conflict, one of them had to leave the Tang Sect if its development was not to be affected.

Ye Chen was powerful and a pillar of the Tang Sect, so naturally he could not leave. That meant it could only be Bei Bei...

"Xiaoya..."

Bei Bei still wanted to say something, but Tang Ya interrupted him. "Alright, Bei Bei, calm down. We'll do as Ye Chen says. Leave the Tang Sect temporarily first, and in three months, we'll decide whether you can rejoin based on your performance. As for the Tang Sect secret technique, I won't take it back."

Tang Ya seemed to be taking Ye Chen's side, but she had her own thoughts as well.

After all, Ye Chen had said he would help her take revenge within three months.

Once she had successfully taken revenge, she could let Bei Bei rejoin afterward. As for the relationship between Bei Bei and Ye Chen, she could mediate between them. There should not be any problem.

After all, her feelings for Bei Bei had not faded. It was impossible for her to stand completely on Ye Chen's side.

Of course, that was only Tang Ya's thinking. Bei Bei did not know that...

"Xiaoya... y-you're saying you want me to leave???" Bei Bei looked at Tang Ya in disbelief, and more than half his heart shattered in an instant.

He had thought Tang Ya would stand on his side, but he had not expected her to hesitate not even a little before completely taking Ye Chen's side.

Anyone unaware of the situation would think Tang Ya was Ye Chen's girlfriend!

Damn it!

"Of course. As a senior student, isn't it perfectly normal for you to give in to Junior Ye Chen a little?" Tang Ya said as though it were only natural.

She was doing all this for the Tang Sect's development.

After she and Bei Bei had run it for years, they had only recruited Huo Yuhao, who sold grilled fish.

She felt that the main reason was that the Tang Sect did not have a Vice Sect Master.

She was merely a mascot, so naturally she was of little use.

Bei Bei had not matured yet, and he had his own pride. He was unwilling to borrow even the slightest bit of his family's power, making him equally unable to offer the Tang Sect any help.

But now that they had Ye Chen, she felt that he was highly capable. If she gave him enough authority and freedom, he might bring them some surprises.

So Bei Bei could only be wronged for the time being.

She hoped Bei Bei would understand her good intentions.
