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

What Chapter 384 concealed

Since its construction, the guest rooms of the Tongming Sect have rarely been used. After all, the place is located on the edge of the far north and is sparsely populated. Neither the elders nor the disciples of the sect have many friends visiting them.

However, there were two more guests in the room today.

Zhang Lexuan and Beibei sat at the table, neither speaking for a moment. They were both somewhat surprised to see each other here, and wanted to ask something, but didn't know how to begin.

Finally, Zhang Lexuan broke the silence, "When you left the academy, it was to find Tang Ya. Did you find her?"

"Hmm." Bei Bei nodded, glancing at the person in front of him who was like a mother and sister to him. His imposing manner weakened somewhat, and his expression changed slightly when Tang Ya was mentioned.

Zhang Lexuan, however, did not seem too surprised. She simply looked up and glanced at the room's furnishings.

"Senior Sister...you've been here before, haven't you?"

After meeting Zhang Lexuan at the Tongming Sect, Beibei understood many things. Zhang Lexuan's thoughts hadn't changed overnight.

"What do you think of this place?" Zhang Lexuan didn't answer immediately, but instead asked a question in return.

Upon hearing this, Beibei lowered her head slightly, not hiding anything, and simply stated her feelings truthfully, "This is different from any of the evil spirit masters we've encountered before."

"When I first heard your thoughts, Senior Sister, although I didn't have the right to speak because of Xiaoya's matter, I was still a little confused."

“But now, I understand what you’re saying. Their every move… if I hadn’t known beforehand, I would have found it hard to believe that they were a group of evil spirit masters.”

“Yes.” Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly, her eyes slightly vacant, as if she had thought of something. “I never imagined that person would actually be an evil soul master.”

"Now that you've found Tang Ya's trail, aren't you going to take her back?" Zhang Lexuan snapped out of her thoughts and changed the subject.

“Xiaoya doesn’t want to go back yet.” Beibei lowered her eyes slightly upon hearing this. “Although she was coerced, she still did some things she didn’t want to do, and she can’t get over it in her heart.”

Zhang Lexuan glanced at Beibei, her expression changing slightly. "So that's how it is."

"Then you plan to..."

"I plan to stay here with Xiaoya."

"Sigh." Zhang Lexuan sighed softly, "The academy is just an academy, it won't restrict where you go, but what about the Tang Sect? Can you really feel at ease if you're not keeping an eye on things there?"

“Yuhao and the others will handle it.” Beibei had a lot of confidence in Huo Yuhao. “Yuhao is better at these things than I am. He was just too young before. With him around, I am naturally at ease.”

"That's good," Zhang Lexuan replied, and the room fell silent again.

Just as Beibei was thinking about how to start the conversation, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

"Master, a guest has arrived. I have already led her to the guest room."

A hateful voice came from outside the door, and Zhang Lexuan suddenly stood up.

"You've started catching up with me?"

There were guests in the room, so the door was naturally not closed. Before Zang'e could even speak, Lin Xiao had already seen the two people in the room from afar.

Seeing that the three seemed to have something to discuss, Hatred, with a bit of shrewdness, turned and left.

Lin Xiao glanced at Zhang Lexuan and chuckled, "I've only been gone a short while, and there are already more people in the sect. It seems it won't be long before things get lively here."

“I came to see you about something else. I was also surprised to run into Beibei here.”

Bei Bei also stood up, glancing at Zhang Lexuan with slight surprise. In his memory, he didn't recall ever hearing Zhang Lexuan speak in such a different tone than usual.

“He stayed here for Tang Ya. I thought you came to bring him money for food.” Lin Xiao also took two steps forward. “Please sit down. Where were we?” “I’ve finished talking with Senior Sister.” Bei Bei clasped her hands in a fist salute to Lin Xiao and then walked towards the door.

Lin Xiao did not stop him. After he left the guest room and disappeared from sight, she turned her gaze back to Zhang Lexuan.

"Although I mentioned the Tongming Sect to you before, this should be your first time entering this place, right? What do you think?"

"Ah, very good."

"Haha, compared to Shrek Academy, the environment here is much simpler."

As Lin Xiao spoke, he looked out the door. As if to verify his words, the wind and snow outside had intensified, and the chill in the air showed no sign of dissipating.

“No, I really like it here.” Zhang Lexuan also looked towards the door and gently shook her head. “This place is surrounded by ordinary people’s homes, unlike Shrek Academy…”

What happened to Shrek Academy?

"Located in Shrek City, yet without a single gate leading into the city, the academy's high walls seem to divide the academy and Shrek City into two parts."

Lin Xiao recalled for a moment and suddenly realized that what Zhang Lexuan said seemed to be true. People from Shrek Academy who wanted to return to the academy from Shrek City had to leave the city first and then enter through the academy's exclusive east gate.

"Feel sorry."

Before Lin Xiao could speak, Zhang Lexuan softly uttered two words.

Lin Xiao's expression changed slightly as she looked at Zhang Lexuan, "What happened?"

"Actually... I have a marriage agreement with Beibei, whom you just met."

Zhang Lexuan lowered her head, but heard Lin Xiao's tone suddenly soften, "I know."

"How did you know about this? Even most people in the academy don't know." Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan suddenly looked up at Lin Xiao, her eyes full of surprise.

"I know a lot more." Lin Xiao looked at Zhang Lexuan with a smile. "When we have time in the future, I can tell you about everything I know, one by one."

"You knew this all along?"

Lin Xiao nodded.

"You knew a long time ago?"

Lin Xiao nodded again.

Although she found it hard to believe, Zhang Lexuan knew that Lin Xiao had no reason to lie to her, and his reaction just now showed that he was not surprised at all by what she said.

Suddenly, she let out a long sigh.

“I was just talking to Beibei about Tang Ya, and he told me that there’s a hurdle in Tang Ya’s heart that she can’t get over, which is why she’s been staying here and is reluctant to go back with Beibei.”

"Looking back now, I realize that there was a hurdle I hadn't been able to overcome, a barrier that kept me... and you, in front of me."

Lin Xiao's eyes flashed, and Zhang Lexuan was nowhere to be seen at the table. When he turned his head, the beauty was already beside him, gently leaning against him.

"what about now?"

Zhang Lexuan remained silent, only shaking her head.

"You are the vice dean of Shrek Academy, the number one soul master academy on the continent. Aren't you afraid of damaging Shrek's reputation by getting too close to me, an evil soul master?"
