"Are these two... Bei Bei and Tang Ya? Hmm? Who is the third person? Why don't I remember anyone like this in the original story?"
"Forget it, they're probably just some unimportant background characters. But Bei Bei, really, I just can't figure out why he would choose Tang Ya!"
"It's not that Tang Ya isn't good enough; she's quite pretty, after all. It's just... Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan from the Inner Court is clearly a much better choice, isn't she?"
As soon as the content of the diary book updated, the slight smugness that had just appeared on Tang Ya's lips instantly froze on her face.
Before she could secretly rejoice over Ao Yao's praise, a wave of panic instantly washed over her heart.
As Bei Bei's girlfriend, Tang Ya naturally knew about Zhang Lexuan, since the latter often appeared in the role of an elder sister, showing considerable care for Bei Bei in both words and actions.
But she only knew that Bei Bei and Zhang Lexuan had a close relationship; she had no idea they actually had... another story between them?
"Speaking of which, we have to bring up Dragon God Douluo Mu En and Zhang Lexuan's background. Zhang Lexuan came from a noble Family in the Heaven Dou Empire. After offending another noble Family, her entire clan was exterminated.
"After the massacre, only Zhang Lexuan was left alive, and by chance, Zhang Lexuan encountered Mu En, who suddenly appeared there."
"I mean... are you sure there isn't some hidden truth in all this?"
"Although I don't feel like Dragon God Douluo Mu En would be that kind of person, but... Mu En at that time must have already fought with Du Bisi and was in a severely weakened state. Why would Mu En in that state happen to appear in the Heaven Dou Empire, right at the Holy Spirit Cult's lair, and then happen to save Zhang Lexuan?"
"Putting everything else aside, even if you saved her, you insisted on making Zhang Lexuan into Bei Bei's child bride. Old man, didn't you look at how much they differed in age? Even if you wanted to completely tie this Genius with Innate Full spirit power to Shrek Academy, you didn't have to use this method, did you?"
"Was it because you felt the debt of saving a life wasn't strong enough, so you came up with this trick?"
Far away at Shrek Academy, Zhang Lexuan, and Tang Ya, who had approached Huo Yuhao, both trembled, and their expressions shifted almost simultaneously.
The book Zhang Lexuan was holding quietly slipped from her grasp, and a look of contemplation and confusion appeared on her flawless, exquisite face.
For so many years, she had never doubted Old Mu's motives; instead, she was filled with gratitude towards him. But after reading the contents of the diary book, Zhang Lexuan reflected carefully and only then realized some doubts.
When her Family was destroyed back then, was there really a hidden story?
Why did Old Mu, who was clearly in poor condition at the time, appear in the Heaven Dou Empire?
However, Zhang Lexuan did not lose her composure; she merely rubbed her temples lightly and remained silent.
Perhaps... the events of that year were indeed not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
Tang Ya's reaction was more direct. She looked at Bei Bei beside her with some disbelief, feeling that her lover was somewhat unfamiliar.
The Senior Sister from the Inner Court was actually Bei Bei's child bride!
Bei Bei had never told her about this!
Tang Ya instantly felt a sense of being deceived.
The moment she thought about the intimate relationship between the two, Tang Ya felt a lump in her chest, an indescribable feeling.
"I truly cannot understand Bei Bei's choice. I mean, Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan from the Inner Court—a mature, gentle, intellectual, and beautiful older woman, and also the big sister who accompanied him as he grew up. This should have a fatal attraction for a young boy just starting to feel romantic feelings, right?"
"Bei Bei actually rejected such an older sister figure to choose a girl who has the potential to be an Evil Soul Master and could even become the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Seeing this, Tang Ya subconsciously clenched her fists, and the image of Zhang Lexuan instantly flashed through her mind.
Ao Yao's evaluation was correct. In terms of looks, figure, temperament, talent, and Cultivation, she had absolutely no advantage. Moreover, she would become an Evil Soul Master in the future...
No!
I refuse to become an Evil Soul Master!
Tang Ya gritted her teeth, shifting her gaze away from Bei Bei, and unconsciously landed on Ao Yao.
That diary book was so miraculous; there must be a way for her to avoid stepping onto the wrong path!
"Now that we've discussed Bei Bei and Zhang Lexuan, let's return to Tang Ya. Although she will fall and become an Evil Soul Master in the future, it's not really her fault. Who told her that the Cultivation direction for her Blue Silver Grass went wrong?"
"Speaking of which, this Tang Sect is truly bizarre. Just because the first Sect Leader was Tang San, every subsequent Sect Leader's Spirit must be Blue Silver Grass, and they must follow Tang San's Cultivation path. How could that possibly work?"
"Tang San's Spirit was the Blue Silver Emperor, a Spirit almost comparable to the Clear Sky Hammer. Isn't your Blue Silver Grass path purely a joke? Even without the impact of spirit tools, your Tang Sect deserves to decline!"
"Also, who on earth came up with the idea to add poison attributes to the Blue Silver Grass? Isn't that pure foolishness? What is the characteristic of Blue Silver Grass? Blue Silver Grass is the most common plant on the continent, even found everywhere, possessing the strongest vitality! Even in harsh environments, Blue Silver Grass can completely grow."
"Therefore, the spirit ring augmentation direction for Blue Silver Grass should obviously lean towards the Domain of Life, okay?"
"Oh, so it was Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang who came up with adding poison attributes to the Blue Silver Grass? Then never mind. What the hell does Yu Xiaogang know! Without Tang San, he couldn't even figure out his own Spirit, and his own Spirit guidance was just nonsense!"
"It's only because Tang San was also overpowered that Yu Xiaogang's methods didn't ruin him sooner or later."
"Misleading disciples, Yu Xiaogang, hmph! A 'Theory Master'... you think you qualify!?"
The spirit ring augmentation direction for Blue Silver Grass was wrong?
Tang Ya subconsciously wanted to refute this in her heart.
After all, this was the consistent ratio summarized by the Tang Sect over ten thousand years based on the spirit ring configuration of Ancestor Tang San, and it was based on the theory of Ancestor Yu Xiaogang, who was hailed as theory-unbeatable, the teacher of Ancestor Tang San ten thousand years ago.
But quickly, Tang Ya realized that what Ao Yao said seemed... not wrong at all.
At the very least, she couldn't think of any reason to refute Ao Yao's words.
The Blue Silver Grass indeed possessed extremely vigorous vitality, and spirit rings focused on the Life Domain did indeed seem to be the best choice.
Could it be... that their path has truly been wrong all along?
This... This is impossible!
Although Tang Ya vaguely felt that what Ao Yao said might be true, her long-held perception made it difficult for her to accept it immediately.
This meant that her consistent understanding up until now was wrong!
To put it severely, even her previous faith was wrong!
