"Bold thief, how dare you impersonate Grandpa Xuanzi? What crime do you think you've committed?"
Bei Bei roared, his aura reached its peak.
He absolutely refused to believe that the person before him was Xuanzi. Xuanzi will never be this "reasonable."
Whenever there was any discourse unfavorable to Shrek Academy, Xuanzi would definitely retaliate. If words fail, he will resort to direct action, never admit fault like this.
Bei Bei had grown up in Shrek Academy; he knew Xuanzi all too well!
The Xuanzi before him must have been an imposter!
"Hmph, trying to deceive me? You're not qualified!"
Bei Bei sneered, glaring intently at Xuanzi.
At this moment, the participating students in the hotel also began arriving at the entrance.
Without hesitation, they immediately released their martial souls, confronting Xuanzi and Dai Hao.
Watching the show was out of the question; if they could get Bei Bei to owe them a favor, what a wonderful thing that would be!
"Bei Bei, what's going on?"
Tang Ya walked up to Bei Bei, asking with a puzzled expression.
Bei Bei was always gentle and refined, never one to provoke conflicts. As his girlfriend, Tang Ya knew this all too well.
Seeing Tang Ya arrive, Bei Bei realized that some things could no longer be hidden. He said directly, "Xiao Ya, here's the thing…"
Bei Bei revealed his background, as it wasn't much of a secret, and also mentioned the "fake Xuanzi."
"Uh… You're the great-grandson of the Dragon God Douluo?"
Tang Ya was stunned, looking at Bei Bei with confusion.
The Dragon God Douluo, wasn't that the master of the Sea God Pavilion?
"Xiao Ya, believe me, my feelings for you are absolutely genuine, no matter my origins."
Bei Bei turned his head, looking at Tang Ya. Their eyes met, and in Bei Bei's gaze, Tang Ya saw only sincerity.
Thinking carefully, Bei Bei had indeed never done anything to wrong her. The Dragon God Douluo and the higher-ups of Shrek Academy might have been in the wrong, but that had nothing to do with the young Bei Bei.
"Now, you, me, and Yuhao rely on each other. Of course, I believe you."
As the great-grandson of the Dragon God Douluo, Bei Bei was willing to "defect" from Shrek Academy for her, which showed just how deep his feelings were.
For her, Bei Bei had given up too much, far too much.
As the two conversed, the onlookers exchanged glances. This Bei Bei… was truly extraordinary!
The great-grandson of the Dragon God Douluo?
Good heavens, who would have thought there was such a connection?
"My ancestor was foolish. The higher-ups of Shrek Academy refuse to listen to advice, clinging to the ways of ten thousand years ago, with no ambition to progress. They are destined to tarnish Shrek Academy's reputation."
"Grandpa Xuanzi is stubborn, bullies others with his power, utterly lacking in virtue. That's why he offended the Martial God and brought down divine punishment. He deserves this calamity."
Bei Bei spoke with righteous indignation, his expression unshakable.
A noble man born in a small state is not at fault for the state's limitations.
Hearing this, Xuanzi and Dai Hao were left speechless.
Although Bei Bei's words were harsh, they were true.
If not for these events that could destroy Shrek Academy, why would Xuanzi admit his mistakes or believe his views were wrong?
"Bei Bei's words strike like thunder. Shrek Academy has indeed become tainted."
The crowd nodded, understanding Bei Bei's decision to leave Shrek Academy and join Liyue.
If not for their families' disapproval, they would have wanted to go to Liyue too!
After a moment, their gazes turned back to Xuanzi, making him feel as if thorns were pricking his back.
"Bei Bei, I really am your Grandpa Xuanzi!"
Xuanzi sobbed, then released his martial soul.
As the Gluttonous Bull martial soul appeared, Bei Bei was stunned. This martial soul, this soul ring configuration… it really was Xuanzi?
But Xuanzi… why would he admit his mistakes?
"I am the White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao. I can vouch for Elder Xuan's identity."
Dai Hao didn't hesitate either, immediately releasing his martial soul.
The White Tiger martial soul, combined with his Soul Douluo-level strength, was enough to confirm Dai Hao's identity.
Currently, Dai Hao has been designated a Soul Douluo, not yet a Title Douluo.
Bei Bei and the others were dumbfounded. Appearances could be faked, but martial souls couldn't!
These two really were Xuanzi and the White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao…
Something strange was definitely going on!
Bei Bei revised at Xuanzi, then cupped his hands to the crowd, saying, "Today is a day for gathering. Let's go back and continue the music and dance!"
He was absolutely certain that Xuanzi's presence meant no good!
Therefore, he would act as if he hadn't seen Xuanzi.
If he softened this time, the higher-ups of Shrek Academy will keep coming after him, endlessly!
They wouldn't let him go until they had squeezed every bit of value out of him.
As Mu En's great-grandson, Bei Bei knew Shrek Academy all too well.
After saying this, Bei Bei didn't spare Xuanzi another glance. He grabbed Tang Ya's hand and walked back into the hotel.
The others weren't fools either. They understood Bei Bei's intention and quickly withdrawing their martial souls, their faces instantly brightening with smiles as they headed back into the hotel.
"Brother Bei Bei, today we'll drink until we drop!"
Since Bei Bei himself ignored Xuanzi and the White Tiger Duke, they, as outsiders, naturally didn't need to get involved.
In just a moment, the gathered crowd disappeared, and the hotel doors closed once more.
Xuanzi and Dai Hao exchanged glances, both at a loss.
"This…"
"Elder Xuan, did you not treat this Bei Bei well in the past?"
Dai Hao turned his head, looking at Elder Xuan with confusion.
If Xuanzi hadn't treated Bei Bei poorly, he couldn't understand why Bei Bei would leave.
"Bei Bei is the great-grandson of my martial uncle. I watched him grow up. I've never refused him anything. How could I not treat him well?"
Xuanzi was angry, but he was also pondering the reason for Bei Bei's sudden departure.
But with his mind, even if he racked his brain, he couldn't figure it out.
"That's strange. Could it be that Bei Bei is ungrateful…"
"Don't talk nonsense! Bei Bei is definitely not an ungrateful person. He must have some unspeakable reason for doing this!"
Xuanzi snapped, waving his hand.
Bei Bei was someone he had watched grow up, with the demeanor of a nobleman. How could he be ungrateful?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Dai Hao: "…"
Wait a minute, the reason they came here was to meet the Martial God. How did Bei Bei get involved?
Whether Bei Bei was ungrateful or heartless, what did that have to do with Dai Hao?
The urgent matter at hand was saving his eldest son, Dai Yueheng!
With a "thud," Dai Hao knelt at the entrance, kowtowing to the hotel doors.
"Martial God, Dai Hao has come today with no intention of breach."
To save his son, Dai Hao was willing to do anything.
Not far away, the Duchess of the White Tiger was slightly stunned. She had thought Dai Hao had abandoned her and Dai Yueheng, but now… Dai Hao had arrived at the Martial God's door before her and even knelt down.
It seemed Dai Yueheng still held some weight in his heart.
"Seeing as you've gone this far for Heng'er, I'll hold off on giving you that green hat for now."
