The night was dark and the wind was high.
Two figures, one tall and one short, walked along the shore of Sea God Lake.
Although Zhang Lexuan is tall, standing at over 1.7 meters, she is still slightly shorter than Bai Zhou, who is currently 1.8 meters tall.
" Spiritual power " can be described as the top-tier "growth hormone." Bai Zhou has now reached level 60, and is now almost like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, with the childishness on his face almost completely fading away.
Of course, this is also related to Bai Zhou This is related to the ' Body Refining ' Cultivation Technique, which can also make people taller and exceptionally strong, easily turning them into muscular giants.
If he didn't say it, no one would guess his real age.
"With your skills and good looks, you must have a lot of girls pursuing you at Outer Courtyard, right?"
Zhang Lexuan suddenly thought of something and asked Dao in a soft voice.
"Hehe, not at all. With your strength, Grandmaster, as the number one in Inner Courtyard, you should have many suitors."
Bai Zhou gave an awkward laugh and quickly changed the subject.
If Zhang Lexuan found out that Dao was having a harem in Shrek, that would be terrible...
"Hmm, what a pity..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan immediately slowed down, a strange sadness flashing in her eyes.
She has had countless suitors in Inner Courtyard over the years, but she has rejected them all. Even now, her only suitor, Dai Yueheng, is persistent, but she will not develop any feelings for him.
Because she was Bei Bei's childhood sweetheart, her heart belonged entirely to Bei Bei.
Even if Bei Bei doesn't want her, she doesn't belong to anyone, but to Shrek.
She had promised her teacher, Mr. Mu, that she would dedicate herself to Shrek and that she would not have any romantic entanglements with any other boy except Bei Bei.
Even if one grows old alone...
"I'm sorry, Grandmaster, did I say something wrong?"
Bai Zhou noticed Zhang Lexuan's low spirits and quickly apologized.
Bai Zhou was only testing the waters slightly, but he didn't expect Zhang Lexuan to react so strongly. It seems that Zhang Lexuan still has deep feelings for Bei Bei.
Zhang Lexuan and Tang Ya are different.
Tang Ya followed Bei Bei partly because Bei Bei could help her rebuild the Tang Sect and avenge her family. Of course, this was also the promise Bei Bei made to Tang Ya.
Because of this relationship, Tang Ya and Bei Bei's feelings for each other came quickly and ended just as quickly.
As for Zhang Lexuan, she watched Bei Bei grow up and lived with her for countless years.
The emotional bond is incredibly strong, untainted by any self-interest.
Therefore, it would be extremely difficult for Bai Zhou to sway the other party, which is the main reason why Bai Zhou has no immediate plans to pursue Zhang Lexuan...
It's too difficult and risky, and the cost-effectiveness is practically worthless.
"It's okay, it's not your fault, it's my own problem." Zhang Lexuan shook his head gently, forcing a bitter smile.
"Okay, fine..."
Bai Zhou didn't know how to start a conversation with Dao and was immediately at a loss for words.
"Alright, it's getting late. You should head back now. You're not a student at the Inner Courtyard yet, so it's best not to linger there to avoid any misunderstandings."
Zhang Lexuan gazed at the distant bright moon and let out a slight sigh. Dao.
She originally wanted to chat with Bai Zhou a little longer.
Unexpectedly, Bai Zhou directly reopened her deepest wound, making further conversation impossible...
"Well... I'll be going now, goodbye Grandmaster -nee~"
Bai Zhou is also a knowledgeable person. Qi sensed something was wrong and immediately made a run for it, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Sometimes, having too much luck with romance isn't a good thing...
...
...
"Eh..."
Watching Bai Zhou's departing figure, Zhang Lexuan inexplicably thought of Bei Bei and sighed softly again.
Bei Bei hasn't visited her in a long time.
I don't know Dao How are Bei Bei and Tang Ya doing...?
The thought of Tang Ya filled Zhang Lexuan with bitterness.
Although she guessed that this might be an arrangement by her teacher Mu En, she was still unwilling to accept it.
"Buzzing..."
Suddenly, Zhang Lexuan felt a vibration coming from his waist.
Zhang Lexuan snapped out of her daze, took out the Microcard hanging from her waist, and was slightly puzzled, wondering who was sending her a message so late at night.
At the same time, she realized that she hadn't added Bai Zhou's microcard contact number...
Next time you run into her, remember to chat with this junior she seems to have a crush on whenever you're bored...
With that thought in mind, Zhang Lexuan opened his Microcard to check the message and found that it was from Bei Bei.
Inner Courtyard can be considered one of the first testing grounds for Microcard. The moment she got Microcard, she was impressed by the power and convenience of this spirit tool, so she secretly bought one and gave it to Bei Bei for easy contact later.
Of course, it was mostly she who took the initiative to contact Bei Bei.
However, every time she contacted Bei Bei, her tone was perfunctory and dismissive, and sometimes she would not reply at all, which made her feel disappointed. Later, she contacted Bei Bei less and less.
After all, in her opinion, Bei Bei already had Tang Ya. Although she was Bei Bei's 'older sister,' frequent contact might cause Tang Ya to misunderstand, so she stopped bothering Bei Bei later...
The last message I saw was from three months ago...
Unexpectedly, Bei Bei took the initiative to contact her at this time.
Zhang Lexuan opened the message with great excitement, only to be stunned.
[ Bei Bei: Sister, are you free? I'd like to talk to you...]
Although Bei Bei sent a text message, Zhang Lexuan's sixth sense was extremely sharp, and coupled with her understanding of Bei Bei, she immediately noticed that something seemed amiss with Bei Bei.
Because Bei Bei hasn't called her "sister" for a very, very long time.
Since Tang Ya came along, Bei Bei seems to have developed a distance from her... Bei Bei's way of addressing her has also changed from 'older sister' to " Grandmaster sister".
But now, Bei Bei is suddenly saying this, which means something must have happened.
[ Bei Bei, what's wrong? Are you okay? Where are you? I'm coming to find you!]
Zhang Lexuan was immediately flustered, making several typos and could only send a voice message, his voice filled with anxiety.
...
at the same time.
Inner Courtyard, on the shore of Lake Haishen.
Bei Bei sneaked into the Inner Courtyard from another direction, holding a Microcard in her hand, looking quite haggard.
He really couldn't take it anymore...
After returning from the Tian Hun Empire, his mental state completely collapsed. He suffered from sluggish cultivation, his mind was filled with wild thoughts, and he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Moreover, he couldn't talk about this kind of suffering with anyone else.
Just as he was about to break down, he remembered that he had an older sister, Zhang Lexuan, in the Inner Courtyard …
In an instant, countless memories of my childhood with Zhang Lexuan flooded back into my mind...
Only by experiencing despair can one truly cherish what is in front of them.
Although Tang Ya still holds the top spot in his heart, he simply can't take it anymore, and only Zhang Lexuan can comfort him.
Moreover, Zhang Lexuan is an incredibly powerful Spirit Douluo!
Who knows, Zhang Lexuan might be able to help him find Tang Ya!
The moment this thought arises, it becomes impossible to suppress.
Although it was very late, Bei Bei couldn't help but send a message to Zhang Lexuan.
I hope to find comfort tonight.
I thought Zhang Lexuan would be asleep by now, but I was wrong...
Yes, Zhang Lexuan not only didn't sleep, but you could also feel his emotions just by reading his words.
[I just entered the Inner Courtyard, sister, I'm coming to find you...]
After sending the message, Bei Bei felt much more relaxed.
"She's such a wonderful sister..."
He was inexplicably moved, and at that moment he was eager to see Zhang Lexuan and receive some comfort.
Just like when I was a child...
