Beibei was stunned.
He and Tang Ya had discussed it privately before. Those three innocent outer court students who had died were most likely the result of Ma Xiaotao's out-of-control Evil Fire.
But in Beibei's eyes, it was just because of the Evil Fire; it was definitely not Ma Xiaotao's intention to kill them.
But now, in the blink of an eye, according to Yan Shaozhe, the Martial Soul Department's headmaster, it was his girlfriend, Tang Ya, who had killed those three students? Wasn't this just straight-up lying? Even if he wanted to help his disciple, Ma Xiaotao, escape blame, he shouldn't do it like this, right?
Why did his girlfriend have to become Ma Xiaotao's scapegoat?!
Burning with rage, Beibei stared fixedly at Yan Shaozhe in front of him, growling out each word.
"Headmaster Yan! You need to take responsibility for what you're saying! I can guarantee that Xiaoya is definitely not the Evil Soul Master you're talking about! Those three students were definitely not killed by Xiaoya!"
Yan Shaozhe's words didn't faze Beibei at all. Not even his expression changed; he still wore that air of compassion, shaking his head.
"You're too naive, Beibei."
"Do you really think all Evil Soul Masters will admit their true nature? You should know that Evil Soul Masters are hunted everywhere on the Douluo Continent. Since Tang Ya has fallen, how could she possibly admit she's an Evil Soul Master?"
"Perhaps even getting close to you was just a way to use you to hide her identity, to achieve some hidden goals!"
Yan Shaozhe's words were truly cutting, causing Beibei's body to tremble. Deep down, he couldn't help but start to doubt whether Tang Ya's growing affection for him had been calculated.
The sensitive Tang Ya sensed Beibei's change of heart. She slowly released his sleeve, her eyes filled with sorrow and anger as she cried and laughed, shouting, "So, you're the same? You don't believe me either, Beibei?"
Beibei could hear the despair in Tang Ya's words. He hastily defended himself against his earlier hesitation.
"No, Ya, that's not it! I'll go find Venerable Ancestor right now. With Venerable Ancestor's help, no one will be able to call you an Evil Soul Master anymore!"
Yan Shaozhe stopped Beibei.
Mu En had already said he would handle this matter. If even such a small thing required Beibei to go to Mu En, then it would make him, the Martial Soul Department Dean, seem useless!
Yan Shaozhe knew that because of the recent Evil Soul Master incident, the Venerable Ancestor was already very displeased with him. He absolutely couldn't make any more mistakes at this time!
Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe carefully considered his words, looked at the puzzled Beibei, and said with a hidden meaning, "Beibei, some things aren't as simple as you think. Acting rashly will only affect the important people's evaluation of you."
Hearing this, Beibei's breath seemed to stop instantly.
He understood the meaning of Yan Shaozhe's words. Beibei completely understood that the one who truly made the decision to make Tang Ya a scapegoat for Ma Xiaotao was probably his Venerable Ancestor, Mu En!
"How... how could this be... Impossible! The Venerable Ancestor wouldn't do this!"
Yan Shaozhe looked at Beibei with some reproach. He could think these words in his heart, but how could he say them out loud? Didn't he know that doing so would damage Mu En's glorious and majestic image?
But it wasn't a big problem. Anyway, when he appeared in front of Beibei and Tang Ya, he had already used the strength of a Super Douluo to prevent others from hearing their conversation. As long as he dealt with Tang Ya next, this matter wouldn't spread.
Tang Ya, like a Blue Silver Grass trapped in a swamp of despair, struggling desperately to escape her fate, clenched her fists and stared intently at Yan Shaozhe.
Even though he knew his opponent was a Title Douluo, a powerhouse, while he was merely a Three-Ring Soul Elder, he had no intention of just waiting for his fate.
Yan Shaozhe didn't want to waste any more time talking to Tang Ya. He just wanted to quickly eliminate her and then announce that he had failed to notice that Tang Ya, the Tang Sect Master, had secretly become an Evil Soul Master, thus quelling the unrest outside.
Just as he was about to act, Beibei, who had been in the midst of an existential crisis, suddenly jolted and stood in front of Tang Ya. His heaving chest showed how agitated he was.
Even though the decision to make Tang Ya a scapegoat came from the Venerable Ancestor, Beibei absolutely couldn't watch Tang Ya die in front of him!
If that happened, he probably wouldn't be able to escape this shadow for the rest of his life!
One could only say that Yan Shaozhe trying to kill Tang Ya in front of Beibei was something Mu En probably never anticipated.
"Principal Yan, please spare Ya! I'm willing to vouch for her. As long as you let her go, I'll make sure she never appears before anyone again! I definitely won't reveal the truth!"
"Please, Principal Yan, for the sake of the Venerable Ancestor, for the sake of the tens of thousands of years of friendship between Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, please let Ya go! Even if her Martial Soul has mutated, she has never harmed anyone!"
Beibei tried everything he could to plead for Tang Ya, hoping to persuade Yan Shaozhe to spare her.
The most crucial thing was that he was actually threatening Yan Shaozhe, acting as if he would die alongside Tang Ya if Yan Shaozhe didn't let her go.
Faced with this unexpected situation, Yan Shaozhe was also a bit flustered, not knowing what to do.
Yan Shaozhe's character had a tendency to compromise. He also knew better than anyone that it was his disciple, Ma Xiaotao, who had caused this mess, and it had nothing to do with Tang Ya from the beginning.
It was only because Shrek Academy needed a scapegoat that they pushed Tang Ya out.
Now, seeing Beibei's willingness to sacrifice his life to protect Tang Ya, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. After a long silence, he finally sighed.
"You go explain to the teachers yourself."
"Even if Tang Ya survives, from now on, she will no longer be a student of Shrek. She will have no further relation to our Shrek Academy!"
"Afterwards, I will announce in front of everyone in Shrek City that those three students were killed by Tang Ya, and that as the sect master of the Tang Sect, she has fallen and become an Evil Soul Master!"
"Also, one more thing. If I ever hear any bad news about Tang Ya in the future, I absolutely will not give her a chance to live!"
Beibei was overjoyed to hear Yan Shaozhe's promise and bowed repeatedly to thank him, also stating that he would go find the Venerable Ancestor to explain things later.
Yan Shaozhe didn't even glance at Tang Ya and simply walked away.
Yan Shaozhe knew that Tang Ya must hate Shrek Academy with a passion right now, but what could she do?
There were plenty of people who hated Shrek Academy. Even the Sun Moon Empire didn't dare provoke Shrek Academy. As for the lone Tang Sect Master, a Three-Ring Soul Elder with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, even if she really wanted to seek revenge on Shrek Academy, it would only be a suicide mission!
After Yan Shaozhe's figure completely disappeared, Beibei breathed a deep sigh of relief. He turned his head to look at his girlfriend, Tang Ya, wanting to say something, but before he could even open his mouth, Tang Ya coldly said,
"Yan Shaozhe has already said it. From now on, we have no relationship whatsoever!"
After saying this, Tang Ya glanced at the direction of the Seagod Pavilion, her eyes filled with surging anger and immense hatred.
'Shrek Academy! One day, I will personally destroy your so-called ten-thousand-year-old Shrek Academy!!!'
Just a heads-up, this isn't about being a fool.
Yan Shaozhe wanted to kill Tang Ya, but from the beginning, he never considered her, with her useless Blue Silver Grass, a threat.
Since Beibei was willing to risk his life to protect her, Yan Shaozhe, who was fond of scheming, didn't mind giving Beibei face.
In his eyes, whether Tang Ya lived or died wouldn't affect Shrek Academy in the slightest.
He might even think that Tang Ya would be grateful to him for letting her live.
I feel like I've been cursed. I woke up this morning with a headache, and my temples were throbbing. I slept from one to four in the afternoon, and it didn't get better; it got worse. I took my temperature and found I had a low fever. I don't know if I've got the virus.
So, this is the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy's honor? Scared, scared. w(Д)w
