Bei Bei looked up and saw Ye Qing beaming, with Zhang Lexuan holding his arm, gentle and serene, looking every bit the demure young wife.
"Ye Qing, Sister Lexuan." Bei Bei squeezed a smile onto his bitter face and greeted them.
Absorbed in playing little romantic games with Tang Ya, he often went out with her to have fun in Shrek City. Apart from Sea God Island, which Tang Ya was not qualified to enter, their footprints covered practically all of Shrek Academy's grounds.
On the few occasions Ye Qing had gone out with Zhang Lexuan, they had happened to run into the couple several times, so Bei Bei already knew about Ye Qing and Zhang Lexuan's relationship and was not surprised.
Only, his girlfriend's whereabouts were now unknown, while Ye Qing and Zhang Lexuan remained as loving as ever, instantly lending the scene a somewhat theatrical air.
"Speaking of which, why the long face? Did Tang Ya fail to advance to Soul Ancestor and fall short of this year's enrollment requirements?" Ye Qing asked.
This was called asking a question when you already knew the answer.
Bei Bei opened his mouth, then nodded bitterly. "Tang Ya's soul power was only at rank thirty-eight, below the sixth-year promotion requirement, so she had no choice but to leave the academy. She's probably already reached Heaven Dou City by now."
"Wait, you actually let her go back?" Ye Qing was utterly dumbfounded.
If Tang Ya had run off behind Bei Bei's back, that would have been one thing. After all, there really was nothing he could do if he did not know. But he had known and still let her return to Heaven Dou City alone? Did he not know that the enemies responsible for the Tang Sect's destruction were right there
