Hearing Jiang Jue's words, Zhang Lexuan felt as if her deepest feelings had been struck.

As Jiang Jue said, her early life was indeed like that. When she was young, she had to work hard to cultivate for the glory of Shrek Academy. After she entered the inner academy and became the senior sister, she not only had to cultivate for herself, but also help other Shrek Academy students.

As she grew older, she needed to help some of the teachers in the inner academy with their tasks, and even assist with the inner academy's work, leading other students into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings.

As she grew older, she became an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, and a portion of the academy's busy affairs fell on her shoulders. Later, after Xuanzi succeeded to the throne, her workload increased even more.

She had been busy for the first half of her life, but now she realized that apart from cultivation, she hadn't done anything for herself.

Even their cultivation was for the sake of Shrek Academy.

"Fool, didn't we agree before that after we destroy Shrek Academy, we would rebuild an academy here and appoint you as the dean? You can still live here then, and maybe your house will even be bigger and pinker."

Seeing Zhang Lexuan's tearful appearance, Jiang Jue chuckled and comforted her.

"But...but..."

Upon hearing Jiang Jue's words, Zhang Lexuan was slightly taken aback, her red lips parted slightly, but she couldn't say anything.

"But what? If you really want to work, then after Shrek Academy is destroyed, you can work for me by my side." Jiang Jue pretended to understand, coughed lightly, and then said.

"You...I, I didn't mean that," Zhang Lexuan said, her nostrils twitching even more. She quickly denied it, but when she saw the wicked smile on Jiang Jue's lips, she instantly realized that she had been tricked again.

"I'm already in this state, and you're still playing me!"

Zhang Lexuan's pretty face was filled with shame and anger. She raised her delicate hand, as if to strike Jiang Jue.

But Jiang Jue seemed to have anticipated this. He reached out and grabbed Zhang Lexuan's fair hand. Zhang Lexuan did not expect Jiang Jue to grab her. Her delicate body leaned forward and fell directly into Jiang Jue's arms.

"You..." Feeling Jiang Jue's broad chest, Zhang Lexuan's fair face instantly turned as if it could drip blood, and she immediately struggled to get up.

"Alright, you're harder to handle than a pig during the New Year." Jiang Jue patted Zhang Lexuan's back, then casually put his right arm around her slender waist and asked softly, "Since you don't have any goals, what's wrong with working for me?"

"You're the pig." After struggling a few more times and seeing that she couldn't break free, Zhang Lexuan pouted her red lips and retorted in a low voice.

But at the same time, a strange feeling arose in her heart. Feeling the special aura emanating from Jiang Jue and those strong arms, Zhang Lexuan felt a strange sense of security, and even the feeling of unease in her heart gradually dissipated.

For a moment, Zhang Lexuan nestled quietly in Jiang Jue's arms, enjoying this moment of peace.

"From now on, think more about yourself. No matter how much you think about others, it will only ever belong to them." Jiang Jue said softly, looking at Zhang Lexuan in his arms.

Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said fiercely, "Then why do you still make me work for you? Isn't that obviously bullying me?"

"How can that be the same? You're working for me for your own good. At least I won't let anyone else bully you besides me," Jiang Jue said matter-of-factly.

Seeing Jiang Jue's expression, Zhang Lexuan was instantly amused and annoyed, but a warm feeling secretly welled up inside her. However, she still said with some resentment.

"You're pretty domineering, making me work for you the only one."

"Are you coming or not?" Jiang Jue raised an eyebrow and slightly loosened his grip on Zhang Lexuan's waist.

Zhang Lexuan immediately sensed it. Looking at Jiang Jue in front of her, she felt a reluctance to leave. At the last moment before Jiang Jue let go, she quickly said something.

"Come."

"That's right." Jiang Jue smiled slightly, reaching out to stroke Zhang Lexuan's hair. Zhang Lexuan blushed slightly, pressing herself tightly against Jiang Jue's chest, her red lips murmuring, "I'm truly doomed to be in your clutches for life..."

Looking at Zhang Lexuan's appearance, Jiang Jue chuckled, "I never thought that the strong-willed senior sister outside would have such a girlish side."

"If you say that again, I'm really going to ignore you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan's pretty face flushed even more, and she gave Jiang Jue a beautiful, albeit slightly bashful, look.

And in doing so, Zhang Lexuan exuded even more charm.

Jiang Jue held Zhang Lexuan tightly until the sadness in Zhang Lexuan's heart completely dissipated.

"When will you break through Shrek Academy?"

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Lexuan broke the silence by speaking first, asking softly.

"Tomorrow is the time for the Soul Beast Clan to withdraw, and the Sun Moon Empire will seamlessly take over and surround Shrek City again. In the next two days, Shrek Academy will be completely destroyed."

Jiang Jue considered for a moment, then spoke thoughtfully.

Before he arrived at Shrek Academy, he had already discovered the Sun Moon Empire's army hiding not far from the academy, including the Sun Moon Empire's four Beast King-level Soul Master Corps: the Radiant Dragon Soul Master Corps, the Terror Claw Soul Master Corps, the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps, and the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps.

Leading the group was the Royal Soul Master Corps, headed by Kong Deming, clearly aiming to exterminate Shrek Academy.

“At that time, a new academy will be rebuilt on the ruins of Shrek Academy. You can also call out those students who are on good terms with you, as agreed at the time, as long as they are willing to let go of Shrek Academy,” Jiang Jue said softly.

He wanted Shrek Academy to perish, but he was also willing to give a way out to students who were willing to leave Shrek.

“I will. In fact, before this, I had already secretly persuaded many students I was on good terms with, and I believe they will agree to withdraw,” Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly.

"That's good then. Now I should go do what I need to do." Jiang Jue's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke softly.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Lexuan asked subconsciously.

“As I said before, although the Sun Moon Empire rules the entire continent, the current Sun Moon Empire must not be the same as the Sun Moon Empire of the past. After Kong Deming completes his mission, he should also disappear.”

Jiang Jue said meaningfully.

"Well...be safe."

Knowing that Jiang Jue was leaving, Zhang Lexuan slowly released him, but her expression was full of reluctance.

"Let's go." Jiang Jue waved his hand, took Zhang Lexuan away from this space, returned to Zhang Lexuan's room, left a sentence and disappeared from the spot.

"okay."

Zhang Lexuan responded softly, not knowing whether Jiang Jue heard her.

But the moonlight was perfect at that moment, and a gentle breeze caressed her face. Zhang Lexuan gazed at the shimmering surface of the Sea God Lake, and her heart was also filled with turmoil that lingered for a long time.
