"Okay, then you take her down to rest first."
Zhang Lexuan could only agree to Beibei's request.
And Beibei did as he said, quickly returning after settling her down.
"Xuan Jie, just speak your mind. There's no one else here."
From Zhang Lexuan's earlier hesitation, Beibei knew she had something to say to him.
"Listen to my advice, stay away from Tang Ya. I can feel it, she's definitely not an ordinary person."
Zhang Lexuan said seriously.
"Why?"
"Are you going to listen to me? I don't have any reason, or rather, my only reason is a woman's intuition!" Zhang Lexuan said earnestly, "I know what your feelings for Tang Ya are like, but trust me, I'm not wrong. Back in the Aquipeia Forest, it was relying on my intuition that I was able to slay the hundred-thousand-year soul beast!"
Despite this, Beibei couldn't help but retort, "If your intuition really is effective, reliable, then why did all your teammates die? Couldn't you have warned them ahead of time?"
"Beibei, do you even know what you're saying?" Zhang Lexuan's expression abruptly changed.
The events of the Aquipeia Forest years ago were a pain she never wished to mention.
Beibei's words were reopening her scars.
No.
It's not just reopening her scars anymore.
It's placing the primary cause of the events at her feet.
How could Zhang Lexuan accept this?
"I most certainly know what I'm saying, I'm only talking about something that happened back then. To me, it's as common as saying the Zhang family lost a cat, the Wang family lost a dog," Beibei jeered.
Beibei's defiance grew stronger as he spoke.
At that moment, he weighed 150 pounds, of which his rebelliousness constituted 140.
"Slap!"
Beibei kept challenging her limits, and Zhang Lexuan could no longer restrain herself.
She raised her hand and fiercely slapped Beibei's face.
"You hit me?"
Beibei was stunned by the strike.
He hadn't expected Zhang Lexuan to lose her composure like this.
"I truly wish I could slap some sense into you."
"No matter what Tang Ya's experiences were, you'd better stay away from her!" Zhang Lexuan said very seriously.
"That's impossible, Tang Ya has finally returned to my side after so much difficulty, I will never leave her again. Unless I die!" Beibei was equally resolute.
"You are beyond cure!"
Zhang Lexuan, frustrated by his stubbornness, raised her hand again.
"Stop!"
It was then that Tang Ya's cry suddenly rang out.
Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but stop herself.
She looked behind Beibei and saw Tang Ya, who had appeared in the corridor without anyone noticing, slowly stepping forward.
"Xiao Ya, haven't I told you? You should rest well in the room and not come out no matter what happens."
Seeing Tang Ya, Beibei's expression changed drastically.
"No, if I hadn't shown up, you might have ended up killed!"
Tang Ya shook her head, pale, looking very pitiful.
Who wouldn't feel pity seeing her?
Beibei felt his heart was about to break.
And at that moment.
Tang Ya had already walked up to Zhang Lexuan, "If you didn't want me to stay, you could've said so earlier rather than make it hard on Beibei. He's a good man and hasn't done anything wrong; you shouldn't treat him that way."
Hearing her words, Beibei felt his inner softness had been touched.
Looking at Tang Ya, his gaze was filled with emotion.
"Xiaoya, don't say that, I'd do anything to make you stay," Beibei said affectionately.
"Enough, it's not your place to interfere in matters between me and my brother," she replied curtly.
Zhang Lexuan frowned tightly, "Since you've already overheard our conversation, there's no point in hiding it from you. I don't agree with you getting too close to Beibei, but since it was Elder Mu's wish for you to come to Sea God's Pavilion, I can only accept it.
All I can do is keep Beibei away from you. Now that I've said what had to be said and done what had to be done, the choice to stay or leave is yours."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ya's expression changed, "Beibei, I'm sorry."
Her eyes filled with remorse, she turned and walked away from Sea God's Pavilion without looking back.
But how could Beibei possibly let her leave?
She stepped in front of Tang Ya, "Just like when facing Elder Mu, I won't let you go again. If you really want to leave, I'll accompany you!"
"No, leaving Shrek Academy, you'll lose a bright future," Tang Ya shook her head in refusal of Beibei's proposal,
"Without you, what future do I have?"
Beibei shook his head, then said very resolutely, "Neither of us is leaving, you go!"
Saying so, he pointed accusingly at Zhang Lexuan.
"Me?"
Zhang Lexuan was stunned.
She could never have anticipated Beibei would say such a thing.
It completely caught her off guard.
"Why are you still here if you're not leaving?"
"Can't you see that you're the only one who's surplus?"
"Without you, Xiaoya and I are just fine!"
Beibei bombarded Zhang Lexuan with accusations.
Zhang Lexuan was completely bewildered.
She had never imagined that despite her wholehearted planning for Beibei's sake, she would end up in such a predicament.
Truly, no good deed goes unpunished.
"What are you still doing here? I feel disgusted just looking at you! Just you wait!"
Suddenly, Beibei tore off a piece of his garment, bit his right finger till it bled, and started writing furiously on the large cloth.
He scribbled over a hundred characters.
Then, as if discarding trash, he threw the rag in front of Zhang Lexuan.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Lexuan bent down and picked up the rag.
When she saw what was written on it, she was truly shocked.
Without going into details,
The large characters for "divorce letter" fiercely assaulted her senses.
This moment felt more terrifying than a Soul Douluo's spiritual attack.
"You, you actually wrote a divorce letter to me," Zhang Lexuan said, trembling with anger.
"Why not! I've told you before that we have nothing to do with each other, but you refuse to see reason,"
"I know you've been waiting for this divorce letter as a way to get back at me, haven't you? Now that you have it, just scram!" Beibei waved his hand impatiently, "Don't let me and Xiaoya see you again!"
"Fine, fine, fine, Beibei, you've truly grown up. You're not the child I once knew. I can't believe you could be so heartless!" Zhang Lexuan felt she had indeed misjudged.
She had wholeheartedly helped Beibei, only to end up being deserted by everyone.
"Stop your pretense," Beibei said with a frown, "I don't want to see you again."
"Ha, I don't want to see you again either. I always thought about repaying Elder Mu for his kindness, so I was willing to stay with you even though you were unworthy,"
"But today, this divorce letter proves that our fate has ended."
Zhang Lexuan laughed bitterly, "Elder Mu, if you have a spirit in heaven, you should be able to see that it's not that I broke my promise, but that your grandson's actions are too decisive.
From today on, I owe you nothing anymore!"
