Chapitre 145: Chapter 144: Bei Bei’s Outburst, Zhang Lexuan’s Future
"When did Qianran start hanging out with Xiaotao again?"
Dressed in a white dress, Zhang Lexuan looked as serene and elegant as a lotus in water, exuding a gentle charm that invited admiration. But as she saw Qianran holding Ma Xiaotao's hand, she felt a pang of jealousy.
Qianran hadn't come to see her in some time; their last meeting had been when she sought him out. Had he already forgotten about her? If he didn't care, then why did he make those gestures before?
With a slight pout, Zhang Lexuan felt a bit downhearted.
And now, Qianran was at odds with Bei Bei again. Knowing his personality, he'd never yield to Bei Bei.
What would happen to Qianran if Elder Mu decided to take action against him? Even Headmaster Xian Lin'er might not be able to protect him.
"Senior Sister, long time no see." Qianran approached Zhang Lexuan with a friendly greeting.
"Mhm." With Bei Bei right beside her, she couldn't say much to Qianran, not wanting to anger Bei Bei.
"Senior Sister, let's go. Don't bother with him," Bei Bei said, huffing and glaring as Qianran tried to strike up a conversation with Zhang Lexuan. How dare he act so boldly right in front of him! However, Zhang Lexuan ultimately belonged to him.
Bei Bei attempted to hold Zhang Lexuan's hand, but she evaded him gracefully and walked into the Treasure Pavilion. Frustrated, Bei Bei followed her inside.
As he passed Qianran, he sneered, "Qianran, you'd better stay away from Senior Sister. She's been my fiancée since we were young and is devoted to me, far beyond what someone like you can imagine."
Qianran might have won over Tang Ya, but she never accepted Bei Bei's pursuit, and Qianran just happened to act first.
But when it came to Zhang Lexuan, he was confident.
Though he had often treated her with indifference, Zhang Lexuan had always shown him deep affection. A small gesture of kindness from him would bring her into his embrace, and then…
Bei Bei's breathing grew quicker with excitement.
Losing Tang Ya had hurt him deeply, almost making him forget the beautiful, gentle Senior Sister by his side.
Thanks to Qianran's reminder, he saw his path clearly!
Imagine walking around campus holding Zhang Lexuan's hand — how many people would envy them?
Since Tang Ya left with Qianran, Bei Bei had become a joke in the outer court. But what if he ended up with Zhang Lexuan? Who in the outer court would dare mock him?
Tang Ya might be a beauty, but Zhang Lexuan was both the strongest and one of the most beautiful women in the inner court.
In that moment, the real clowns would be Qianran and Tang Ya.
"Thank you, Qianran. I almost forgot," Bei Bei thought, exhilarated. Zhang Lexuan adored him, willing to meet any request he had. Once he secured her devotion, he'd reveal it to everyone in the outer court and bask in the attention.
He might even have her perform some humbling acts publicly, ensuring everyone knew her subordinate position in their relationship. People would be in awe of him.
Meanwhile, Qianran would be forgotten.
Even if Qianran had Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, could they ever compare to Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan?
"Foolish Qianran, soon you'll see who the real clown is!" Bei Bei shot Qianran a venomous look before confidently following Zhang Lexuan inside. From this moment on, she would be his goal.
Once she was his, he could flaunt it to Qianran's face.
Wasn't Qianran known as the "Romance Saint" of the outer court? What good was that?
"What's going on between you and Zhang Lexuan?" Ma Xiaotao asked, sensing an unusual connection between Qianran and Zhang Lexuan. Just now, she'd noticed Zhang Lexuan's gaze when Qianran held her hand. It looked like jealousy!
"What could it be? Nothing yet… but who knows what the future holds," Qianran said with a mischievous smile. He had to laugh — Bei Bei probably hadn't realized that Zhang Lexuan's feelings for him had waned.
Bei Bei was always creating issues.
Qianran never thought much of Bei Bei, but the latter always sought validation. Why did he care about his relationship with Tang Ya or the number of girls he was with? Instead of focusing on petty things, Bei Bei should work on his own strength.
Now, Qianran was set on winning Zhang Lexuan right in front of Bei Bei, and he'd enjoy showing their affection in front of him. What could Bei Bei possibly do?
That day was approaching.
He could feel Zhang Lexuan's emotions toward him changing. Merely holding Ma Xiaotao's hand had brought out her displeasure.
Heh heh…
Could it be that Zhang Lexuan had some possessiveness over him too?
"Are you serious about pursuing Senior Sister? You're really fearless, aren't you?" Ma Xiaotao looked at him in shock, thinking he was unbelievably audacious! His first reaction to a beautiful girl was always… possession?
What did this guy take women for?
"What else? Do you think Bei Bei is a suitable match for Senior Sister?"
Ma Xiaotao shook her head. Bei Bei was narrow-minded and egotistical. If Zhang Lexuan truly married him, she would suffer countless grievances.
"Alright. I support you. Go for it." Ma Xiaotao patted Qianran's shoulder encouragingly. No matter his faults, he was better than Bei Bei.
Qianran was destined to stand at the top of the continent. A little bit of flirtation didn't seem so bad.
In this world, strength determined everything, and being flirtatious wasn't a fault if you were strong.
Here, Qianran's behavior wasn't scorned like it would have been in his previous life, where a viral post could have fueled a whole industry of critics. This was a world where power ruled, and far more scandalous behavior was common. Some strong cultivators even took pleasure in toying with beauties, often with tragic outcomes.
In comparison, Qianran was mild. He simply had a few more affections.
So, Ma Xiaotao just grumbled a bit before accepting Qianran's ways and even encouraged him.
Once inside the Treasure Pavilion, the attendants helped them register and determine their credit limits.
Qianran didn't plan on borrowing any money; with Xian Lin'er's funds at his disposal, he had no reason to go into debt.
"Mr. Qianran, Miss Ma, you are both esteemed VIPs of our Treasure Pavilion. Based on your current status, you are each entitled to select one item from the event each year free of charge," one of the attendants informed him, handing Qianran a red card with a golden design. Ma Xiaotao already had her own card.
"See the benefits of the Treasure Pavilion now?" Ma Xiaotao grinned, showing her red card. As top talents of Shrek Academy, they received the highest privileges. They were future Super Douluos, so binding them with some benefits was wise.
"Mr. Qianran, your VIP card grants a fifty-percent discount on all purchases at our pavilion. Additionally, you can select any item from the Treasure Appreciation Event each year," the attendant explained.
Very few in Shrek Academy held this kind of VIP card. Only people like Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and Qianran, recognized as once-in-a-lifetime talents, had such privileges.
"Now go ahead and choose what you want. Just remember not to reveal your VIP status here," a calm voice warned, and a powerful aura locked onto Qianran.
Judging by the aura, this person was likely a Super Douluo.
