Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 208 Zhang Lexuan, you actually betrayed the academy too?
Coincidentally, Zhang Lexuan was also heading towards Tiandou City, but she had not yet left the gates of Xingluo City.

Therefore, Zhang Lexuan saw Wang Dong'er leading a large group of people to her.

Because there were many people, Wang Dong'er directly paid to hire several horned horse carriages with soul beast bloodlines.

"Sister Lexuan." Wang Dong'er jumped out of the car, greeted Zhang Lexuan, and asked, "Sister Lexuan, what are you planning to do instead of going back to Shrek Academy?"

Zhang Lexuan looked at Wang Dong'er with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say.

This incident from her childhood is a secret; no one knows about it except for a few people, and she has kept it to herself for many years.

When Zhang Lexuan encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest and almost lost her life, that was still what she was thinking about.

She thought that once Moon had wiped out that family, her nightmare would disappear without a trace, but in reality, she had never forgotten it.

"I..." Zhang Lexuan began softly, but the distance between them made her hesitate to continue.

“If you don’t mind, I can give you a ride,” Wang Dong’er said.

Zhang Lexuan didn't know what she was thinking; she inexplicably got into the carriage and only came to her senses when the carriage started moving again.

Wang Dong'er hired a total of five carriages, each carrying two people, but the interior space of the carriages was quite large, so Zhang Lexuan did not feel cramped when she sat down.

They traveled in silence, the carriage leaving Xingluo City and resting at an inn outside the Xingdou Great Forest after a long journey.

It was at this moment that Zhang Lexuan finally made up her mind.

As the saying goes, "stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade." Having watched the entire competition, Zhang Lexuan didn't actually think that Wang Dong'er was such a heinous person to Shrek Academy.

On the contrary, it was Wang Dong'er's behavior that made her make up her mind.

The two left the others to rest at the post station, and later arrived at a quiet place along the way.

"Wang Dong'er, regarding what you suffered at Shrek Academy... I have no intention of defending the academy, but I once swore to dedicate my life to protecting it. I want to know if you, in the future, will stand against Shrek Academy."

Zhang Lexuan was a little afraid to look Wang Dong'er in the eye. She didn't really want to ask the question, but she just blurted it out on a whim.

It was clearly Wang Dong'er who suffered unfair treatment from the academy, yet she forced Wang Dong'er to take sides. Just thinking about it makes me feel disgusted.

But to Zhang Lexuan's surprise, Wang Dong'er asked her a question in return.

"Sister Lexuan, I want to ask you a question first. In your opinion, what constitutes standing on the opposite side of Shrek Academy? Or rather, how does Shrek Academy define an enemy? You must have seen the image from that day, right? How can you still ask me such a question after seeing it?"

"Have you ever considered that I'm already an enemy of Shrek Academy?"

"This..." Zhang Lexuan was speechless, unable to refute it at all.

"I'm sorry, I just... I don't know why I asked you such a question." Zhang Lexuan sincerely admitted her mistake.

"Actually, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

As she spoke, Zhang Lexuan recounted the events that happened when she was a child.

"I want to know if you have any way to find out the truth and the whole story of what happened back then."

“Only a god could answer that,” Wang Dong’er shrugged. “For nearly twenty years, apart from you, the only other family members who found you probably know what really happened.”

Zhang Lexuan's eyes dimmed.

Indeed, with everyone dead, who, besides the gods, could possibly uncover the whole truth of the matter? She was already investigating secretly behind Moon's back, so how could she possibly question Moon directly?

Just then, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out.

"Zhang Lexuan, you actually betrayed the academy too?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Zhang Lexuan turned around abruptly.

“Beibei, I…”

"Get out! You're not worthy to call my name!" Beibei said, her eyes red.

Upon returning to the college, he discovered that Tang Ya was gone and had already withdrawn from the program.

This result drove him crazy, but fortunately Moon intervened in time to calm him down.

But Beibei never expected that when she went out to hunt souls with the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils, she would see Zhang Lexuan flirting with Wang Dong'er here.

"Zhang Lexuan, I treated you like an older sister, and you're the senior sister of the inner academy. Is this how you protect Shrek Academy? Have you forgotten the oath you once swore?"

"No, that's not how it is." Zhang Lexuan tried to explain, but Beibei, who was already infatuated, was unwilling to listen to Zhang Lexuan.

Wang Dong'er watched coldly, thinking that Zhang Lexuan's love-struck mind seemed to still be unresolved.

From the story she told, Wang Dong'er could tell that Zhang Lexuan had actually always had self-doubt, but the matter was long in the past, and she could only brainwash herself to forget it.

But if you try to forget something intentionally, the memory becomes clearer.

Just as Beibei was unleashing her verbal barrage, the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils emerged from the dense forest.

This area doesn't belong to the Star Dou Great Forest; it's just a small grove on the outskirts. I don't know how the Shrek group came out from this direction.

The next second, Xuanzi suddenly appeared, his face extremely gloomy.

“Elder Xuan…” Zhang Lexuan looked at Xuanzi who had suddenly appeared, hoping that Xuanzi could help Beibei regain her senses for a while.

But to Zhang Lexuan's surprise, Xuanzi's gaze swept back and forth between her and Wang Dong'er a few times, and then he began to question her!

"Le Xuan, tell me what you and Wang Dong'er were talking about just now."

Zhang Lexuan's expression changed.

How could I possibly say something like that?
The person Xuanzi respects most is Mu En. If Xuanzi knew that she still cared about things from her childhood, it would be a great disrespect to Mu En!
However, seeing Zhang Lexuan's hesitant manner, Xuanzi and Beibei were even more disappointed.

"I never imagined that you, who knelt down and begged me not to resign, would betray the academy now," Xuanzi said coldly. "Zhang Lexuan, do you even care about the academy anymore? Don't tell me you had no intention of leaving the academy before!"

"What? You sneaked out of the academy?" Bei Bei immediately bristled. "You actually sneaked out of the academy? The academy is your home. Where else could you go?"

“No, no! My home is…” Zhang Lexuan retorted subconsciously, then her face turned pale.

"I said, have you guys had enough?" Wang Dong'er picked at her ear.

It was like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy. She hadn't had any thoughts about Zhang Lexuan yet; she simply wanted to maintain a normal attitude towards Zhang Lexuan, this "normal person," before completely breaking ties with Shrek Academy.

But Wang Dong'er never expected that Xuanzi and Beibei would actually push people out.
