"What?! A nineteen-year-old Soul Douluo!" Dai Huabin was shocked and involuntarily repeated the question.
Zhu Lu continued, "Actually, Teacher Bing Ling has a very good personality. You just haven't been to class these past few days, so you don't know. Besides, the academy has concentrated the top four teams from the first year into Class One, which clearly means that future teaching resources will definitely favor Class One. Huabin, you'll definitely regret leaving Class One later."
Zhu Lu continued to persuade her, "Teacher Bing Ling is very easy to talk to. He will definitely become Titled Douluo in the future, and Super Douluo will not be a problem. You have studied under Teacher Bing Ling, so you will be considered his student from now on. If you build a good relationship with him, Teacher Bing Ling might be able to help you in the future."
"Okay, I'll take it," Dai Huabin said. He then tried to return to the classroom, but Zhu Lu stopped him. " Huabin, Teacher Bing Ling is punishing you by making you run two hundred laps. Why don't you run them first before going back? Or I'll run with you?"
Dai Huabin shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll run it myself. You go back to the classroom first."
Dai Huabin went for a run, Bing Ling naturally noticed. He ignored the troublemaker and continued attending class. Eventually, the first-year students settled down.
In the three months since the start of the school year, Qian Chen has finally managed to resolve all of Tang San's attempts to control Huo Yuhao, the chosen one of destiny. Huo Yun'er's soul is in his Sea of Consciousness, Huo Yuhao is studying at the Shrek Academy, and his own younger brother is his homeroom teacher. Even Wang Dong, sent by Tang San to entangle Huo Yuhao's emotions, was disrupted by Ning Tian's unexpected injury.
Tang San, who was above the Divine Realm, thought he had succeeded when Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong fused their Martial Soul Fusion. He felt that the overall situation was settled and went to Xiao Wu's place to have some fun. He had no idea what happened afterward.
More than half a month passed, Shrek Academy finally returned to complete peace. On this day, Qian Chen once again finished his work as the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department in just over half an hour. He tidied up his desk, and was about to say goodbye to Zhang Lexuan before heading to the Soul Tool Department to diligently study and break through to the Level 7 Soul Engineer.
" Qian Chen, have you finished your work for today?" Zhang Lexuan asked first when she saw Qian Chen packing his things.
"Yes, it's finished. I'm going to the Soul Tool Department now."
" Qian Chen, wait for me. Can we skip going to the Soul Tool Department today?" Zhang Lexuan asked.
Seeing that Zhang Lexuan seemed to have something to say, Qian Chen asked, " Lexuan, is something the matter?"
" Qian Chen, it's like this. Before Mu En passed away, you promised to take Bei Bei as your disciple and pull him out of his despair. You agreed to pick him up after the Freshman Tournament Freshman Tournament, but it's been almost a month since then. Let's go pick Bei Bei up today. It's not a good idea for him to be living in the villa Shrek City," Zhang Lexuan said.
"Okay, then Lexuan, let me handle some of your work. Once we're done, we'll go together."
"Okay." Zhang Lexuan nodded.
Soon after Zhang Lexuan and Qian Chen finished their work and arranged the tasks for the Martial Soul Department, Qian Chen flew on his sword with Zhang Lexuan to the villa Shrek City.
Upon seeing that it was Zhang Lexuan, the dean of the Outer Court Martial Soul Department, and Qian Chen arriving together, the Shrek Academy disciples guarding the area hurriedly greeted them, saying, "Greetings, Deans."
Zhang Lexuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Where is Bei Bei?"
"Young Master Bei Bei is inside. Please, the two deans, go and see for yourselves." The guard didn't say anything about Bei Bei's condition, only telling Zhang Lexuan and Qian Chen to go in and see for themselves.
Zhang Lexuan and Qian Chen went straight inside. Upon entering the courtyard, Zhang Lexuan smelled a strong odor of alcohol, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.
Seeing his beloved frown, Qian Chen gently placed a hand on her shoulder and said, " Lexuan, don't worry, as long as you're still alive, you'll always pull yourself together."
Zhang Lexuan nodded. Walking inside, she saw Bei Bei, completely drunk. Bei Bei's face was unshaven, and his clothes, which hadn't been taken off and washed in ages, smelled sour.
Zhang Lexuan had always treated Bei Bei like a younger brother, and seeing him like this, she was filled with rage. She looked around and saw a vase with a bouquet of flowers in it. She walked over, pulled out the flowers, picked up the vase, and poured the water from the vase onto Bei Bei's face.
Bei Bei was groggily awakened. "Who, who, who dares to treat me like this? Let me tell you, my ancestor is Mu En, the master of the Sea God Pavilion, none of you will escape!"
Zhang Lexuan was shocked to hear Bei Bei speak in such a way, behaving like a spoiled brat. She hadn't expected Bei Bei to say something like that.
Qian Chen was also quite surprised. He hadn't expected that Bei Bei, after only a short time associating with the spoiled brats of Heaven Dou City, would imitate them so well, knowing how to use their connections and influence.
Zhang Lexuan didn't hold back. With a "smack," she slapped Bei Bei across the face and said, " Bei Bei, know who I am!"
"Sister, Sister Lexuan. What happened? Why are you here?" Bei Bei asked, only half-awake at this moment.
"I've come to take you back to the Shrek Academy so you can continue your studies, cultivate your Soul Power, carry on Mu En's legacy, protect Shrek Academy, and ensure your family's continued prosperity," Zhang Lexuan said solemnly.
"Hahaha, Sister Lexuan, stop joking. Protect Shrek? Inherit the legacy of our ancestor? Propagate the family line? I couldn't even protect Xiao Ya, how could I possibly protect Shrek? Our ancestor possessed the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, while I have the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. How can I inherit his legacy? As for propagating the family line, Xiao Ya is dead, and my heart is dead too. I have no interest in other women." Bei Bei said, almost roaring.
Qian Chen saw Zhang Lexuan's eyes instantly redden, and two lines of tears streamed down her face. She grabbed Bei Bei's shoulder, shaking Bei Bei, and said sternly, " Tang Ya, Tang Ya, it's Tang Ya again! What's so good about this Tang Ya? In terms of talent, she's useless; in terms of looks, she's just a pretty face. Bei Bei, don't be like this!"
Bei Bei ignored Zhang Lexuan and reached for the wine on the table. He opened the bottle in front of Zhang Lexuan and Qian Chen and continued drinking.
While drinking, he said, "How could you know how good Xiao Ya is? You couldn't possibly know." Then he burst into tears, " Xiao Ya, where are you? They said you must have died from the plague in Heaven Dou City. But I didn't even see you one last time, I don't even know where you're buried. Hahaha, I'm truly the biggest useless person in the world."
Seeing Bei Bei continue drinking, Zhang Lexuan didn't say anything more. She stood up. She didn't let Qian Chen say anything either. For a moment, Zhang Lexuan seemed to have made up her mind. " Qian Chen, let's go back."
Seeing this, Qian Chen asked, " Lexuan, should I try to persuade her again?"
Zhang Lexuan shook her head, went outside, and said to Qian Chen, " Qian Chen, forget it. I understand what Bei Bei said. If one day you had an accident and disappeared without a trace, and I didn't even know where you were buried, I would be just as devastated. If I could be like that, what about Bei Bei? I can't even do it myself, why should I force him to cheer up now?"
After Zhang Lexuan finished speaking, she turned and went to the outside of the villa without looking back. She said to the guard, "Find two beautiful women to take care of Bei Bei's daily life."
"Yes, Dean," the guard replied.
" Qian Chen, let's go back to the Shrek Academy."
