Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 378 Beibei
"During my absence, you were in charge of all the affairs of the sect. Now that the Tongming Sect has grown in size, I wonder if you would be willing to resume your position as an elder under my tutelage?"

After settling the Holy Spirit Cult disciples who had come to join him, Lin Xiao turned to look at Abomination to the side.

"Me? Am I...?"

"No need to refuse. Look at how the other disciples treat you. Even if you don't agree, you'll be no different from an elder."

"Yes, Master." Abomination finally nodded in agreement.

"You two are quite skilled in cultivation, so please help our elder in the future." Lin Xiao smiled and looked at the Wu Yun and Wu Yu sisters.

Some Holy Spirit Cult disciples, who were quite different from the Tongming Cult, had infiltrated their ranks. Given their hateful nature, they might cause trouble if no one helped them.

"Yes."

"Alright." Lin Xiao nodded, then suddenly sighed and his expression changed drastically. "Now that the affairs within the sect have been settled, it's time to start dealing with some matters concerning outsiders."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening thunderclap suddenly rang out among the disciples. One of them flashed like a bolt of lightning and headed towards the courtyard gate.

However, someone was faster than him, even with his thunderous movements.

With a stomp of his foot, the earth seemed to tremble slightly. His body shot into the air from the impact, before landing heavily at the backyard gate with a dull thud.

His already extraordinary physique instantly grew even larger, with nine soul rings pulsating around him, and his intimidating aura made everyone almost unable to breathe.

It was only at this moment that the disciples suddenly remembered that the seemingly honest and unassuming Abomination was actually a genuine Title Douluo.

Seeing that his path was blocked, the fleeing figure adjusted his position almost instantly and headed into the air. However, this brief delay was enough for the others to react.

Wu Yun and Wu Yu were the two with the highest cultivation levels besides Lin Xiao and Zang E, and as twin sisters, their attacks were as if they were one person. A mournful howl seemed to rang in everyone's ears, and the figure that was about to escape froze for a moment before falling heavily to the ground.

Abomination swiftly stepped forward, his arms a full circle thicker than before, and his clothes seemed unable to support his massive body, making a tearing sound.

However, just as the abomination was about to strike, several dark purple vines grew out of the ground, dragging the figure under the abomination's palm aside.

"Please show mercy, Master. He came for me and has no ill intentions towards the Tongming Sect."

Standing next to Lin Xiao, Tang Ya stepped forward slightly, her spirit rings gleaming.

"Sigh." Lin Xiao sighed softly, "You all come with me."

During the introduction of the group of disciples, one of them was already dead in Lin Xiao's memory; someone had impersonated that disciple.

Now it seems that the person was none other than Beibei, who had come all the way here in search of Tang Ya.

Lin Xiao had been away from the Tongming Sect for some time, but his room was still clean, which suggested that someone cleaned it every day.

Sitting at the table, Lin Xiao looked at the person next to Tang Ya and said, "You don't need to hide it anymore. Take off your disguise."

Beibei turned to look at Tang Ya, sighed deeply, and finally removed the disguise from her face, revealing her true appearance.

Tang Ya subconsciously turned to look at him, but then quickly looked away.

Lin Xiao looked up at the door, and Wu Yun nodded in understanding before closing the door.

"Sit down, there's no need to be so nervous."

“I didn’t expect the cult leader they’re talking about here to be you.” Beibei didn’t sit down, but just looked at Lin Xiao.

He was no stranger to Lin Xiao. When he participated in the Soul Battle Tournament as a reserve team member, Lin Xiao had appeared as the temporary team leader of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. Although it was only for a few days, Lin Xiao left a particularly deep impression on them.

"You are... an evil spirit master?"

“Yes.” Lin Xiao did not deny it. “You should now know about the relationship between the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult.”

"But you, tell me, how did you find your way here?"

Upon hearing this, Beibei turned to look at Tang Ya, his gaze lingering there, but Tang Ya showed no interest in looking at him.

"After the war on the continent began, many disciples of the academy joined the three great empires to resist the attack of the Sun Moon Empire."

"At the time, we were on the front lines. One night, we noticed something unusual happening in Tiandou City. Upon investigation, we discovered that someone had broken into Tiandou City."

“You people of the Sun Moon Empire may not know where that person went, but I know it all too well. That place used to be the Tang Clan’s base.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao also glanced at Tang Ya, "So, you're certain that the person who appeared at the Tang Sect was her?"

“That’s right.” Beibei nodded. “Even if it’s not her, as long as there’s any clue, even if it turns out to be nothing, I’m willing to try.”

"Ahem." Lin Xiao coughed lightly. "Alright, save those sweet words for when it's just the two of you."

As he spoke, he looked at Tang Ya again, "What about you? I said before that I knew you wouldn't betray the Tang Clan with your personality. Now someone has come looking for you. Do you want to go back with him?"

Tang Ya shook her head, then finally turned to look at Bei Bei, "I can't go back anymore."

Upon hearing this, Beibei reached out and grabbed Tang Ya's hand. "There's nothing that can't be undone. We all know you did those things because you were threatened by the Holy Spirit Cult. It wasn't your fault."

Tang Ya tried to pull her hand away from Bei Bei's grasp, but couldn't.

"Come back with me, okay? We've rebuilt the Tang Sect in Shrek City. My junior brothers, junior sisters, and junior sisters are all waiting for you to come back. In addition, we've taken in many new disciples over the years. The Tang Sect is now quite well-established."

Tang Ya's eyes kept flickering, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Suddenly, her soul power surged, freeing Beibei's hands and turning to rush out.

"Master?"

Outside the door, Wu Yun peeked out.

Lin Xiao glanced at Bei Bei, and seeing that he didn't seem to be chasing after them, she looked up at Wu Yun and said, "It's alright, just close the door for me."

"Yes."

"What, aren't you going to chase after them?"

“I…” Beibei hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. “These past few days, she has been avoiding me. If you hadn’t found out, I probably wouldn’t have had this opportunity to see her.”

“I know the pain she’s going through, and I’ll give her time to think it over.” Bei Bei said, then suddenly looked at Lin Xiao, “You just said she didn’t join the Tongming Cult?”

“That’s right. Although she’s avoiding you, it seems she hasn’t forgotten the Tang Clan.”

"Then...can I stay here?"
