Bei Bei and Dai Yueheng, an Anti-Zhang Yang Alliance?

Xu Sanshi's guess couldn't be called wrong.

If anyone was to blame, it was Bei Bei for being too popular with women.

After all, he was both Tang Ya's boyfriend and Zhang Lexuan's fiancé. If Zhang Yang didn't target him, who would he target?

Zhang Yang had Max-Level Charm and grew stronger by raising affection, so conflict between them was not only unavoidable but irreconcilable.

Reaching this point was the natural result of events.

Their conflict had built to its limit, and now it was all coming to a head.

Hearing his buddy's account, Bei Bei's expression turned frighteningly cold. "Targeting me?" he asked in a voice full of killing intent. "You mean he did it on purpose?"

Xu Sanshi nodded emphatically. The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. "What else?" he continued with certainty. "What ordinary playboy would dare steal your girl? Think about it yourself!"

Having said his piece, he said no more.

Bei Bei stood rooted to the spot, his whole body stiff and his fists clenched.

After a long while, he seemed to grasp something crucial and took a deep breath to steady his emotions.

His anger faded, but not because he had backed down or given up. Instead, it turned into even stronger killing intent, which he merely concealed for the time being.

Even as Shrek Academy's "young master," he couldn't openly go after a fellow student over a romantic affair.

So rather than getting angry, he needed to stay calm.

If he couldn't act in the open, he could do it in secret.

Acting personally would give people grounds to criticize him, but if he found someone else to do it, wouldn't that solve the problem?

Bei Bei instantly thought of suitable candidates: the brothers Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin also had a grudge against Zhang Yang.

Dai Yueheng in particular was not only stronger than him but also secretly in love with the eldest senior sister, his own "fiancée."

In any case, he didn't care what happened to Zhang Lexuan.

That meant the two of them had a natural common enemy.

Dai Yueheng was perfectly suited to being used as a pawn against Zhang Yang.

Last time, my ancestor said Zhang Lexuan gave Dai Yueheng a thorough beating for that bastard's sake and told me not to go looking for trouble.

Hmph, if he hadn't made a move on Xiao Ya, I naturally wouldn't have bothered with him. But things are different now. Zhang Yang has to pay!

Bei Bei trusted his buddy completely and told him the plan.

Xu Sanshi's eyes widened when he heard it, and he promptly gave him a thumbs-up.

After a quick discussion to help flesh out the rest of the plan, the two headed toward the Inner Court.

Thanks to their title as the "Outer Court Twin Stars" and Bei Bei's hidden identity, they encountered no obstacles.

A short while later, they knocked on the door of Dai Yueheng's cultivation room and met the strongest disciple of the Shrek Inner Court after Zhang Lexuan.

"Bei Bei? Xu Sanshi? What do you want with me?" Dai Yueheng looked rather surprised. They weren't well acquainted.

"You know Zhang Yang, right? While he and the eldest senior sister were away, they became a couple. They did everything!" Bei Bei went straight to the point.

Before he had even finished speaking, he felt an intense pressure.

Dai Yueheng was a Six-Ring Soul Emperor who specialized in the Power Attack System.

His current cultivation far surpassed Bei Bei's, and the might he unleashed in an instant made it difficult for Bei Bei to breathe.

Although Dai Yueheng had already confirmed that there was something romantic between Zhang Yang and Zhang Lexuan after the beating he took last time, they hadn't made it completely public.

He had still clung to a sliver of hope, but now that Bei Bei had laid the truth bare, things had taken a sharp turn for the worse. It was even worse than he had expected.

"So you came all this way just to tell me that?"

Thinking of how his goddess had gotten a boyfriend and had even been drilled all night long,

Dai Yueheng was naturally in no good mood. He stared coldly at the two men before him.

Bei Bei didn't mind offending him in the slightest. On the contrary, it was precisely this reaction that made Dai Yueheng suitable to be his "knife."

"No! I came to ask you to work with me, senior brother! Zhang Yang has a special Martial Soul and several girlfriends at once. I'm really unhappy about it!" Bei Bei didn't mention the fact that he had been cuckolded.

"Hahaha, I get it. Did he steal one of those girlfriends from you?" Dai Yueheng sneered. Unaware of Zhang Lexuan's relationship with Bei Bei, he assumed it was Tang Ya.

That was even less polite.

Bei Bei frowned and instinctively clenched his fists.

But on second thought, Dai Yueheng was in the same boat as him and no better off.

For now, dealing with Zhang Yang was what mattered most. He forcibly suppressed the displeasure deep in his heart and nodded helplessly.

Seeing that he didn't deny it, Dai Yueheng was a little surprised. It was actually true. Zhang Yang really had done plenty of harm!

"So how are we going to work together?" He was interested now, realizing this was a chance for revenge.

"Senior Brother Dai, do you know what Mu En's Martial Soul is? He and I are..." Bei Bei stopped hiding the truth and revealed his background to give himself more leverage.

Dai Yueheng's eyes widened when he heard it.

He really had never heard about this before.

But that made things easier. A direct descendant of Mu En had been cuckolded? Zhang Yang was courting death!

"So you want me to step in and teach that fellow a lesson, or even... make him disappear?" Dai Yueheng's expression grew subtle.

"Senior brother, you can decide for yourself how far to go. I can take care of the aftermath and make sure you aren't held accountable." Bei Bei sounded quite confident.

After all, he was Mu En's great-great-grandson.

There was a fundamental difference between him and those distant relatives.

Even if the affair eventually came to light, Zhang Yang had no real background. How severe could the punishment be?

Besides, Bei Bei believed he was in the right. Zhang Yang had cuckolded him, so what was wrong with taking extreme measures?

"All right. I'll take care of it."

After listening for so long, Dai Yueheng finally made up his mind.

Was Bei Bei really Mu En's great-great-grandson? He didn't seem to be lying, which made the plan feasible.

As for whether he might be betrayed, he didn't need to worry too much. The White Tiger Duke's Mansion couldn't compare to Shrek Academy, but it wasn't made of mud, either.

That fellow Zhang Yang had reportedly been brought back by Zhang Lexuan and had no background to speak of. Dai Yueheng figured making such a minor character disappear shouldn't be a problem.

"Senior Brother Dai, remember, don't let a fourth person find out, especially... the eldest senior sister." Though they had reached an agreement to their satisfaction, Bei Bei still didn't forget to remind him.

"Haha, of course I know that. I don't want her to hate me. And as it happens, the eldest senior sister is preparing to enter seclusion soon. No time like the present!" Dai Yueheng snorted, his face turning vicious.

After their conversation, he watched Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi leave.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately decided to act.

After all, Zhang Yang and Zhang Lexuan had become a couple, and supposedly sparred every day and night.

What simp could stand such an intense pastime? The longer he waited, the more drilling the eldest senior sister would take.

I'd better have Huabin lead the hidden guards to do it.

Much as I want to do it myself, that could easily leave evidence against me.

This Bei Bei dared to use Mu En's name to target Zhang Yang. Who can guarantee he won't target me too?

Deep in thought, Dai Yueheng left his room.

His younger brother, Dai Huabin, had not yet left the academy to return home.

That made him just right for this dirty business. Murderous intent and a conspiracy were brewing.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang, their target, had no advance knowledge of any of this.

He remained in his rented room, digesting the Soul Power Tang Ya had delivered when she came to provide "service" not long ago.

Until, one night, faint but rapid footsteps quietly drew near. They didn't sound like any of his girlfriends...
