Douluo Continent: I'm writing a diary, and something's not right with you guys.

A child bride? Zhang Lexuan... is Beibei's child bride?

Her mind went completely blank for a moment, as if she had been struck by lightning, and her ears were ringing.

She and Beibei grew up together, childhood sweethearts, inseparable. She had never heard of this, and Beibei had never mentioned a word about it to her!

Beibei, standing to the side, looked puzzled and kept calling out to Tang Ya, but Tang Ya didn't respond at all.

Chapter 24 Tang Sect's Suspicious Actions

Speaking of which, there's something else that I've always thought made perfect sense.

Tang Ya's later descent into darkness and her gradual descent into the path of an evil spirit master was likely largely due to learning that Zhang Lexuan was Bei Bei's childhood sweetheart.

Beibei and Tang Ya are true childhood sweethearts, and together they supported the crumbling Tang Clan.

Tang Ya had lost both her parents and her sect was on the verge of destruction. She had long regarded Bei Bei as her only support and only light in this life.

Then he discovered that the person he had been longing for and trusting with all his heart had already been arranged for him by his family to be a suitable, powerful, and even childhood sweetheart fiancée of the senior disciple of Shrek Academy's inner court. Anyone in that situation would be devastated!

Tang Ya felt a chill run through her body, her hands and feet turned icy cold, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

So that's how it is... So that's why I later became a universally hated evil spirit master?

Why did Beibei keep this from me? Why did he never tell me?

Countless grievances, anger, and unease surged into her heart in an instant, overwhelming her like a tidal wave. She bit her lower lip tightly to prevent the tears from falling.

"Xiaoya... Teacher Xiaoya, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

When Beibei saw Tang Ya crying, she was very anxious, but Tang Ya couldn't hear anything at the moment and was just struggling to keep herself from collapsing.

[This mental breakdown, coupled with the immense pressure of reviving the Tang Sect and the complex external environment, caused Tang Ya's mental state to completely collapse, leading her step by step into the abyss of becoming an evil soul master.]

More importantly, his Blue Silver Grass malfunctioned, gaining the ability to devour the flesh and blood of others. This series of coincidences, in turn, led to the formation of Tang Ya, a saintess of the Holy Spirit Cult, which is quite reasonable.

The Tang Clan is really outrageous. Not to mention their own martial arts techniques, the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, and the techniques for making hidden weapons are all censored versions.

Tang San is truly a beast. He founded his own sect, and before leaving Douluo Continent, he even took away its most core elements. I don't believe anyone but a beast could do such a thing.

Tang Ya forced back her tears, ignoring Bei Bei's repeated calls beside her. Upon seeing the newly updated diary, a nameless anger surged within her. So this was the answer?

Tang San? Sea God? Ancestor?

Which normal ancestor would take away the core of the sect's signature skills and leave a castrated version of the Tang Sect for future generations?

[Tang San, the founder of the Tang Sect, was already eccentric, but the subsequent sect leaders were equally bizarre. Just because Tang San was the first sect leader, every subsequent sect leader had to have Blue Silver Grass as their martial soul and follow Tang San's cultivation path. It almost made me die laughing.]

Tang San's martial soul is the Blue Silver Emperor, which is the most top-tier martial soul. How could an ordinary Blue Silver Grass martial soul possibly replicate Tang San's path? That's ridiculous!

[These idiots from the Tang Clan often hate soul tools, saying that if it weren't for their existence, their hidden weapons wouldn't have declined, and if their hidden weapons hadn't declined, the Tang Clan wouldn't have fallen into ruin.]

[This is purely an excuse for his incompetence. Even without the appearance of soul tools, Tang San would still be unable to stand firm in the Tang Sect of Douluo Continent II, even if he had taken some of the most powerful hidden weapons.]

[Wait, wasn't this supposed to be about Shrek Academy? How did it get to the Tang Sect? Let's get back to the point. The Tang Sect is just a marginal entity, something nobody cares about. The fact that I even glance at it is a blessing for the Tang Sect.]

When Wang Dong'er saw the last paragraph of the diary, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. Lin Ye looked up in confusion at Wang Dong'er, who quickly covered her mouth.

"Dong'er, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just remembered something happy."

Lin Ye mentally scoffed at how inexplicable it was, then ignored Wang Dong'er and closed his eyes again to continue updating his diary.

[Back to Shrek Academy, Zhang Lexuan is significantly older than Bei Bei. The saying goes, "A woman three years older is a lucky charm," but Bei Bei's lucky charm is probably too heavy for him to carry.]

[Tsk tsk, that old guy Moon has a knack for playing matchmaker.]

When I first watched Douluo Continent II, I really thought that Mu En, the old dragon god, was an untainted monk and the pillar of Shrek Academy.

The more I analyzed it and read many other people's analyses, the more I realized that this old man was probably not as simple as he seemed, and not as kind as he appeared.

The core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest, at the bottom of the Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her golden vertical pupils.

The suppressed fear that Di Tian expressed when he mentioned Mu En countless times still seemed to echo in his ears.

She knew the hypocrisy of the human powerhouses, but she never imagined that even the strongest human being, whom Di Tian had to avoid, would have such unknown schemes.

Zhang Lexuan's family, an old noble family in the Heavenly Soul Empire, was wiped out overnight because they offended a rival of the same level.

Strangely, why was it that only this talented young girl survived, and why was she picked up by Mu En, who was severely injured after his battle with Du Bisi?

In the quiet attic of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard.

Zhang Lexuan had been reading the diary, but after seeing the newly updated entry, the bloody storm of the night the family was massacred came flooding back like a tidal wave.

The towering flames dyed half the sky red, and there were images of her parents lying in pools of blood, and of her hiding in the gap of the wardrobe, watching those vicious killers search every corner, but missing the place where she was hiding.

At that time, she thought it was just good luck and that her parents were watching from heaven. But now, Lin Ye's words have exposed the truth, and those details that she had deliberately ignored for decades have suddenly become incredibly glaring.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth, and two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks without warning.

Yes, if she were to wipe out the entire family, how could she have left such a huge oversight?

How could a girl with a soul power of around level 10 possibly hide herself from an assassin capable of annihilating an entire noble family, no matter how well she concealed it?

What a coincidence! It's like a pre-written script.

Putting aside the seriously injured Mu En, instead of going back to Shrek Academy to recuperate, he insisted on wandering around right under the noses of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect.

The timing is perfect—not too early, not too late—it happened right after the family annihilation case ended, the murderer had just left, and Zhang Lexuan hadn't yet died of fright or frozen to death. If you didn't think there was something fishy going on, nobody would believe it.

[And what I don't understand even more is, what did Mu En do after saving Zhang Lexuan? He actually made Zhang Lexuan a child bride for Bei Bei?!]

[I really don't understand. You saved that young girl's life, gave her a place to live, and taught her cultivation. Isn't that a great favor? Would she betray you or Shrek Academy?]

Zhang Lexuan's delicate body trembled violently, and she stumbled, almost falling off the chair. She gripped the edge of the table, her face as pale as paper.

The words "child bride" were a thorn in her heart for many years.

Chapter 25 Diary Settlement, Fragments of the Truth?

She wasn't without doubts or grievances, but every time she thought of Old Master Mu's life-saving grace and his guidance, she suppressed those thoughts, simply acknowledging that she was being immature and had failed the old man's good intentions.

But now, Lin Ye's words are like a sharp knife, directly revealing the truth she had deliberately concealed for decades.

Yes, Elder Mu had given her a second chance at life, and she would have spent her whole life repaying Shrek. Why did they have to use a "child bride" approach to bind her so tightly?

In Old Master Mu's eyes, was her gratitude and loyalty so untrustworthy?

Did that old man she respected her whole life have a backup plan for her from the very beginning?

Why must we tie someone to our great-great-grandson, label them a child bride, and nail them to Shrek's chariot for life?

How insecure are you? Or is it that Moon never had any pure good intentions in saving her from the beginning, but rather wanted to find a loyal protector for your precious great-grandson, Beibei?

In the inner courtyard dormitory, Ma Xiaotao looked at the words in her mind, her brows furrowed tightly, her heart churning with turmoil.

When her martial spirit went out of control, Elder Mu even stepped in to stabilize her evil fire. In her memory, Elder Mu was a very kind elder.

Despite possessing extraordinary cultivation, he treated his juniors with the gentleness of a true elder.

But now, watching Lin Ye dissect Zhang Lexuan's ordeal, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Some people defended the idea by saying that Moon had just finished fighting Poisonous Death and was seriously injured and on the verge of death. His mentality changed drastically, and he became full of doubt about the whole world, which is why he did this.

Come on, this isn't how you drastically change your mindset.

[If you're really afraid they'll turn against you, you can simply not rescue them, or rescue them and then send them somewhere else. Why give them top-notch resources, teach them all their skills, and then use such underhanded methods to bind them? Isn't this just pointless and unnecessary?]

To put it bluntly, they want other people's talent and want them to work hard for Shrek Academy, but they are also afraid that other people will become uncontrollable.

That's why they use favors and titles to trap people in Shrek for their entire lives.

With that kind of magnanimity, let alone a Limit Douluo, I think he's not even as good as the sect leader of an ordinary sect.

Bottom of the Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena's lips curled into a cold smile.

Human scheming has always been so dirty and ridiculous.

So what if he's a Limit Douluo? Even standing at the top of the human world, he can't escape these petty scheming and plotting.

To save someone by first offering them a reward, then binding them with shackles to make them willingly risk their lives for you, is hardly a respectable tactic.

"The powerful figure whom even Emperor Tian feared was nothing more than a cunning mortal."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was also puzzled. Although she was young, she had heard many stories of human powerhouses from Di Tian and the others. The name Mu En was mentioned repeatedly by Di Tian, ​​who said that he was the most untouchable being in the human world.

But now, this powerful figure, who was like a god among men, has been stripped bare by Lin Ye, leaving him with nothing but his underwear.

It shook its furry head, thinking that the human world was too complicated. Such a powerful being was actually full of bad intentions.

It flicked its tail, curled up into a ball, and stared more intently at the diary in its mind.

Of course, there's no point in saying all this now, since that old guy Moon doesn't have many years left to live.

It's a pity for Zhang Lexuan; she lived her whole life within this meticulously woven scheme, and in the end, she never truly saw what the person she respected her entire life was really like.

……

Lin Ye has written enough in her diary today and plans to stop.
