Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 43 Zhang Lexuan!

Poseidon Lake.

As the most important area of ​​Shrek Academy, Poseidon Lake is very large, occupying about one-third of the entire Shrek Academy area. The lake water is clear, and many students from other academies gather around the lake. Occasionally, figures can be seen flying out or in from the small island in the center of the lake, which always elicits envious cheers from the students on the lakeside.

Those were all students from the Inner Court.

Shrek Academy's inner court is arguably the place with the most geniuses on the Douluo Continent. Every outer court student's ultimate goal is to enter the inner court and become a true Shrek member. However, entering the inner court is undoubtedly a very difficult thing. Under normal circumstances, outer court students who want to enter the inner court not only need to meet the outer court's graduation standard, namely, a four-ring Soul Master, but also need to go through a battle. Only by winning the battle can they enter the inner court.

However, this is just the normal way. There is also a special way, which is to have high enough talent to attract the interest of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion to take on disciples. As long as you are accepted as a disciple by these elders, no matter what your cultivation level is, you will definitely become an inner court disciple.

Of course, this is only a very small minority. There may be many geniuses, but there will never be more than a handful of truly exceptional geniuses in the same era.

Lakeside path.

Zhu Ziyang and his three companions walked along the lake, with Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya leading the way, and Zhu Ziyang and Yu Beibei following behind them.

The lake breeze was cool and carried a faint dampness, gently caressing their skin like a mother's tender touch, making them feel very comfortable.

"Ah! How pleasant!" Tang Ya lazily stretched her delicate body and exclaimed.

"Yes! This is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful view." Jiang Nannan said softly with a faint smile on her pretty face and her eyes, like autumn water, reflecting the waves on the lake.

Zhu Ziyang and Yu Beibei walked behind, quietly watching the two women in front of them, feeling quite pleased.

"Beibei?"

When the four of them reached the middle of the lakeside path, someone suddenly called out to them from behind, or rather, called out to Yu Beibei.

They couldn't help but turn around and saw a woman in her early twenties walking towards them. Her black hair reached her waist, her face was delicate, fair and flawless, and she wore a faint smile. Her gentle and serene temperament was unforgettable.

She is a very gentle woman.

This was the consensus of Zhu Ziyang, Jiang Nannan, and Tang Ya. After the woman appeared, Yu Beibei became very awkward. Although he tried to hide it, Zhu Ziyang, who had keen observation skills, and Tang Ya, who knew Yu Beibei very well, both noticed it.

Beibei knows this woman!

They realize.

"Sister Lexuan!" Yu Beibei's reaction proved their thoughts. His tone was full of joy and surprise, and a rare hint of filial piety flashed across his handsome face.

Tang Ya's expression immediately changed, because Bei Bei had never mentioned this Sister Le Xuan to her before. Although Tang Ya was very confident in her appearance, she still felt a sense of crisis when facing Zhang Le Xuan, a mature and gentle older sister who had a close relationship with Yu Bei Bei.

Upon hearing Yu Beibei's address, Zhu Ziyang's heart stirred, and a name surfaced in his mind.

Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan!

In the few fragments of "Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect" that I remember from my past life, there is a scene where the name Zhang Lexuan appears. She is the senior sister of Shrek Academy's inner court.

The woman in front of me must be Zhang Lexuan, the one mentioned in the book, right? It seems there's a story between her and Yu Beibei!

Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.

"When did you arrive?" Sister Lexuan walked up to the group, glanced at Zhu Ziyang, Jiang Nannan, and Tang Ya, and then spoke to Yu Beibei in a gentle tone, like a sister caring for her younger brother, yet subtly revealing a wife's concern for her husband.

"I arrived yesterday," Yu Beibei replied happily to Sister Lexuan. "Sister Lexuan, how come you have time to come to the outer courtyard?"

"I came out to take care of some things. Are they your classmates?" Sister Lexuan asked vaguely. She naturally couldn't say that she came specifically to see him, but her eyes darted around, looking at Zhu Ziyang and the other two. Her gaze lingered on Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan for a moment before she said, "Hello, I'm Beibei's older sister."

When Yu Beibei heard Sister Lexuan paying attention to Tang Ya and the other two, she smiled and said to Sister Lexuan, "Yes, Sister Lexuan, this is Zhu Ziyang, and this is Jiang Nannan, Zhu Ziyang's childhood sweetheart. Also, this is Tang Ya, I think you should have heard of her. Everyone, this is my sister, Zhang Lexuan, a disciple of Shrek Academy's inner court! I was raised by Sister Lexuan since I was a child."

Yu Beibei spoke somewhat shyly when introducing Tang Ya, but her last sentence was clearly meant for Tang Ya. Yu Beibei's intuition was quite sharp.

Listening to Yu Beibei's introduction, Zhang Lexuan smiled, nodded to Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan, and said, "Hello."

"Hello," Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan said at the same time.

Zhu Ziyang calmly observed her, his mind churning with thoughts, while Jiang Nannan's gaze towards Zhang Lexuan held a strange intimacy that left him somewhat puzzled.

When Zhang Lexuan looked at Tang Ya, a ripple appeared in her usually calm gaze as she said, "You must be Xiao Ya, hello."

"Hello!" Tang Ya replied, a hint of unease creeping into her heart as she looked at the gentle woman. For the same reason, she had never heard Bei Bei mention having an older sister! And she clearly sensed that this sister's attitude towards Bei Bei seemed somewhat strange. It was a woman's intuition!

"Beibei, you catch up with this lady first. Nannan and I will go ahead and take a look." Tang Ya said, feeling a little uncomfortable, and then pulled Jiang Nannan ahead.

Jiang Nannan was suddenly pulled away, somewhat bewildered, and could only look at Zhu Ziyang. Zhu Ziyang naturally wouldn't stay there, so he followed the two women.

"Xiaoya?" Yu Beibei was puzzled when she saw Tang Ya leave suddenly. She didn't bother to talk to Zhang Lexuan anymore and only said, "Sister Lexuan, I'll come to see you when I have time. Bye-bye!" before hurrying off to catch up with Tang Ya.

Zhang Lexuan stood there blankly, watching Yu Beibei's nervous expression after catching up with Tang Ya. For some reason, she felt her heart was in turmoil, filled with pain, joy, confusion, and countless indescribable sorrows. Unconsciously, a cool tear slid down her smooth face.

Zhu Ziyang glanced back unintentionally and discovered that Zhang Lexuan had disappeared.

After this incident, Tang Ya lost interest in strolling around anymore and dragged Jiang Nannan back to the dormitory. Although Jiang Nannan really wanted to continue walking along the lake with Zhu Ziyang, she couldn't bear to see Tang Ya so downcast. After all, Tang Ya was the first female friend her age she had made, so she had no choice but to say goodbye to Zhu Ziyang.

Zhu Ziyang naturally didn't object. Jiang Nannan wasn't his possession; as a living, breathing person with feelings, she needed one or two friends her own age. In Anyang City, because of her exceptional talent, no girls her age were willing to associate with her, which meant that Zhu Ziyang was the only person Jiang Nannan knew. Now that she was at Shrek Academy, Zhu Ziyang naturally hoped she could make one or two close friends, and Tang Ya, as her roommate, was a very suitable candidate, both in terms of her status and Zhu Ziyang's considerations.

The girls left quickly, and Zhu Ziyang and Bei Bei, being two grown men, naturally had no interest in boating on the lake together, so they returned to their dormitory.
