Bei Bei Tried to Intervene? Tang Ya Gave Him a Scolding

Lin Fan's brows drew together slightly as Tang Ya tightened her hold on him again. He managed to say:

"That's right. This cultivation method is better than all the others, and it has no side effects. It's absolutely top-tier."

After all, the system's reward was a top-tier cultivation method.

Tang Ya nodded emphatically.

"Mm-hmm! Then let's hurry up and cultivate! I can't wait any longer."

Lin Fan's cultivation method was several times better than the Tang Sect's cultivation technique she practiced.

Breathing in a faint fragrance and feeling Tang Ya's soft body against him, Lin Fan replied:

"Then, Tang Ya, could you let go of me first? We can carry on cultivating together after that."

His heart trembled. So soft, like lying on a fluffy quilt. And she smells like a field of flowers.

Tang Ya glanced down, and a blush spread across her cheeks. Catching the milky scent on Lin Fan, she said:

"Sorry, Lin Fan. I got too excited..."

After all, this gave her hope of reviving the Tang Sect. But Lin Fan smelled so sweet that she wanted to squeeze him and hug him all over again.

Then Tang Ya and Lin Fan resumed cultivating Soul Power together, feeling the Soul Power within them rise at a startling pace.

Before long, evening arrived.

By the time Lin Fan and Tang Ya finished cultivating Soul Power, night had fallen.

"This is wonderful! My Soul Power is growing so fast! Cultivating like this is amazing."

Tang Ya opened her eyes again, climbed off the bed, and stretched happily.

"And we cultivated right through to evening without even noticing."

Lin Fan said evenly:

"We did."

Tang Ya turned to Lin Fan with a smile.

"If only time had passed a hundred million times slower!"

Then she could have kept cultivating.

Lin Fan guessed what she was thinking at once and chuckled.

"You want to keep cultivating, don't you, Tang Ya? You think I can't see through a little trick like that?"

Tang Ya gave him a mischievous smile.

"Don't you want to as well, Lin Fan?"

Lin Fan said:

"No. My Soul Power is already at level 38."

Tang Ya sighed.

"All right..."

Lin Fan slowly got off the bed, stretched, and loosened up his limbs.

"Well, we forgot dinner and only had breakfast today. How about we go out and eat together?"

He was starving. Even a Soul Master couldn't go without food and drink.

"Sure! I'd forgotten until you mentioned it."

Tang Ya giggled.

Now that Lin Fan had brought it up, her stomach wouldn't stop rumbling.

Lin Fan took Tang Ya out of the hotel and found a small restaurant. It was nothing fancy, just an ordinary little place.

They sat down at a table and ordered braised fish, roast chicken, and two small side dishes from the menu.

The food arrived fragrant and generously seasoned. Its rich aroma had reached them from afar, and the prices were reasonable.

After eating their fill, Lin Fan and Tang Ya headed back to Shrek Academy at an unhurried pace.

A while later.

They returned to Shrek Academy. All kinds of vendors had set up stalls outside the academy gates.

Students and passersby crowded the road, shopping amid the lively bustle.

Lin Fan and Tang Ya passed through the crowd and entered Shrek Academy, walking slowly toward the Dormitory Building beneath one streetlamp after another.

"Um, Lin Fan, about cultivating... could I... keep cultivating with you?"

Tang Ya sounded shy, stumbling over her words.

"Of course. I have plenty of free time, so you can come cultivate with me whenever you like."

Lin Fan

"Great! But no taking it back!"

Tang Ya immediately brightened and smiled.

Wonderful! It won't be long before I surpass Bei Bei, and the Soul Ancestor realm is practically beckoning to me.

"I won't."

Lin Fan breathed in the night air and answered calmly.

Meanwhile, a dark figure in the distance seemed to be searching urgently for something.

The streetlights revealed Bei Bei. He had come to check whether Tang Ya was all right.

Then he happened to spot a man and a woman walking toward the Dormitory Building beneath the row of streetlights.

They were chatting happily. In the lamplight, they looked so much like a couple that passersby did a double take—and so did Bei Bei.

Bei Bei looked closer and realized they were Lin Fan and Tang Ya. Without recognizing them, he really would have taken them for a couple strolling beneath the streetlights.

Flustered, he hurried toward them.

"Tang Ya!"

Bei Bei caught up and called out.

"Bei Bei!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Tang Ya turned and saw the anxious look on Bei Bei's face as he spoke.

"Tang Ya, come here for a moment."

Bei Bei caught his breath and looked at them both before fixing his gaze on Tang Ya.

"What's wrong, Bei Bei?"

Tang Ya looked puzzled.

"Tang Ya, stay away from Lin Fan. There's definitely something wrong with him. You'd better not listen to what he says."

Bei Bei glanced at Lin Fan as he tried to persuade her.

"Why?"

Tang Ya asked, confused.

"Tang Ya, Lin Fan is trying to win you over. Huo Yuhao told me all about it."

Bei Bei took a deep breath and continued explaining.

If I hadn't heard about what happened with Yuhao's roommate, I wouldn't have believed it myself.

"That's impossible. You must have misjudged Lin Fan. He's a new junior who only just arrived. How could he be that kind of person?"

Tang Ya argued.

"Could you stop slandering him? Besides, Lin Fan is a new junior."

Bei Bei explained:

"I'm not slandering him. And don't let Lin Fan join the Tang Sect."

Tang Ya didn't like hearing that. Anger crept into her voice.

"That's enough, Bei Bei. If you keep saying things like that about him, Teacher Tang Ya is going to get angry."

Bei Bei pleaded earnestly:

"Tang Ya, you have to believe me!"

"I really am angry now! Bei Bei, go away! That's an order from Teacher Tang Ya."

Tang Ya's voice was furious and commanding.

Lin Fan had kindly offered advice and help, while Bei Bei had offered nothing and was even slandering him. This time, she really was angry.

"All right, all right. I'm leaving..."

Bei Bei gave Lin Fan one last look.

He quickly walked away before their eyes and disappeared.

Watching Bei Bei leave, Lin Fan stepped up beside Tang Ya and asked with concern:

"Are you all right, Tang Ya? You two seemed pretty worked up during that argument."

Tang Ya

"I'm fine. Bei Bei just made me so angry. He's never acted like that before."

Lin Fan

"Maybe he hasn't seen enough of the world."

Tang Ya

"Maybe. He actually told me not to listen to your advice or let you join the Tang Sect. It's infuriating."

She wasn't an idiot. Did he think she couldn't tell good from bad?

"Join the Tang Sect..."

Lin Fan froze and spoke up.

He had never even considered joining the Tang Sect, yet Bei Bei had told Tang Ya to stop him from joining...

He almost couldn't hold back a laugh, but instead he comforted her.

"Let's go, Tang Ya. Maybe Bei Bei just lost his head for a moment."

"Maybe so..."

Tang Ya nodded, her eyes clouded with uncertainty.

Soon, they reached the entrance to the Dormitory Building and parted ways to return to their rooms.

Tang Ya headed toward the girls' dormitory.

Lin Fan headed toward his own room, number 100.

Just as they were making their way to their rooms,

Bei Bei circled back. He watched them enter the dormitory with knitted brows and thought to himself:

Tang Ya doesn't believe me. I'll have to find proof. That Lin Fan is despicable. If I could beat him, I'd punch him flying and tell him to get lost.

No. What matters most now is making Tang Ya see that there's definitely something wrong with Lin Fan.
