Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 86 I'll be your best friend, and you'll be my sister-in-law?

To be honest, she shouldn't have been here.

Last year, after leading the Shrek Seven Devils team to victory in the Soul Fighting Tournament as captain, Zhang Lexuan rose to fame and became a rising star of Shrek Academy.

As an inner court disciple, why would she come to the outer court to do such trivial things?

Upon seeing the person next to her, Ye Qing nodded knowingly.

Wearing the same red school uniform, she had a slender but not bony face, a delicate and frail body, and eyes as clear as autumn water.

Ye Qing had met this person before; it was Han Ruoruo. After all, they had participated in the Soul Fighting Tournament together last year. Because of Zhang Lexuan, he had also learned a little about the participants from that year's tournament.

Besides Han Ruoruo, there is also Wu Ming, the Golden Crow Saintess, who is also a familiar character from the original work.

So it turns out the two sisters came out to relax and experience life at the outer courtyard.

"Sister Lexuan, it's been a long time." Ye Qing sat down directly opposite Zhang Lexuan and greeted her with a smile.

Hearing the voice, Zhang Lexuan looked up at Ye Qing with some surprise and delight: "Little Ye Qing!"

"You've grown up so much! Come to think of it, it's been a long time since we last saw each other." Her voice carried a hint of wistfulness.

The inner court disciples are not as idle as many people imagine. To graduate from the inner court, the first requirement is to complete thirty Shrek Academy inspection team missions and then pass the graduation examination issued by the inner court in order to obtain the inner court graduation certificate.

The missions of the inspection team are not easy. Sometimes it is normal to be away for ten days or half a month for a mission, and it is not uncommon for them to not be back for two or three months.

There are countless others who will never return...

It has been two or three years since Zhang Lexuan entered the Inner Court, and she has not even completed a third of her inspection team missions. Besides the fact that inspection team missions are not easy to complete, there are also missions available at any time.

Busy with doing unpaid work for the inner courtyard, she naturally rarely saw Ye Qing.

Ye Qing, who had absorbed the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear spirit ring, had already grown taller. After absorbing the Thunderous Hell Vine spirit ring during this holiday, he grew even taller, now exceeding 1.85 meters in height. He looked no different from a young man in his twenties.

Most importantly... he's handsome.

"Yes, Sister Lexuan has become more and more beautiful. At first, I almost didn't recognize her. I was wondering when the outer courtyard had such a beautiful woman." Ye Qing's tone was also a bit teasing.

He did communicate with Zhang Lexuan less than Bei Bei, but it wasn't nonexistent; it was normal for them to tease each other a bit.

Zhang Lexuan wasn't annoyed. She pursed her lips and chuckled, "You little rascal, your words have become so sweet since I last saw you."

"I've always been like this, it's just that we didn't talk much before." Ye Qing spread her hands like a cat. "I didn't expect that just coming back to report for duty would lead me to run into you."

At this moment, Han Ruoruo, who was next to Zhang Lexuan, came over and looked at Ye Qing with a smile: "Your sister Lexuan is really exhausted from this mission. It's only because I, her best friend, feel sorry for her that I came out with her to stroll around the outer courtyard and relax a bit."

"Ruoruo!" Zhang Lexuan patted Han Ruoruo's shoulder and pushed her back. Ye Qing would naturally know about the inner courtyard once he entered it, and she didn't want to complain about anything.

Everyone has gone through this.

"Xiao Yeqing, you don't need to worry about her. Her name is Han Ruoruo. She's my classmate and also my good friend," Zhang Lexuan introduced.

"So possessive of your food, huh? I also want to chat with the handsome little brother," Han Ruoruo complained in a resentful tone, but her pretty face still maintained a bright smile.

She's only in her early twenties now, unlike in the original story when she appeared as a mature and composed woman in her thirties. It's normal for her to be a little more lively.

The same goes for Zhang Lexuan.

Without Bei Bei, who caused her unrequited love in the original story, Zhang Lexuan became much more cheerful. She was even quite happy to see the close relationship between Bei Bei and Tang Ya.

My younger brother has grown up and is finally starting to steal other people's cabbages.

I wonder when Ye Qing will start picking up cabbages again, and whose cabbages he'll be picking.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lexuan glanced at Han Ruoruo beside her, a sly glint in her eyes: "Oh? It seems Ruoruo is quite interested in my brother. How about it, want to learn more about him?"

"Perhaps my younger brother is also very interested in you, don't you think, Xiao Yeqing?"

This time, it was Han Ruoruo's turn to choke.

She admitted that Ye Qing was handsome, but according to Zhang Lexuan's previous statement, Ye Qing would be a second-year student in the foreign language department after the start of the semester, and he would only be eleven years old now, while she was already twenty...

Ye Qing was also speechless.

The two looked at each other, then simultaneously looked away.

"You're going to die!" Han Ruoruo rolled her eyes, ignoring her best friend who was messing with her sister, and continued working on her things.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

The other students in the academic affairs office were dumbfounded. They all knew who Ye Qing was, but none of them had ever imagined that an outer court disciple could be so familiar with an inner court senior, and even joke like that...

Many students admired Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo's beauty, and many of them used the excuse of not leaving to linger near the Academic Affairs Office and secretly observe the two senior students from the Inner Academy. In their eyes, the two sisters were simply goddesses.

However, at this moment, the dream shattered.

The goddess they dared not utter a single word to was chatting and laughing with Ye Qing with a charming smile. What you can't have, she just stands up for... oh wait, no.

In short, Ye Qing felt as if countless sharp gazes suddenly appeared behind him. If looks could kill, he would probably be riddled with holes by the gazes of the other male students by now.

"Alright, I'll report it for you." Zhang Lexuan didn't continue teasing, after all, the atmosphere here wasn't very suitable. If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't seen Ye Qing for so long and was in high spirits after the long separation, she wouldn't have shown her gossipy side.

She is usually very composed.

"One of the hard requirements for advancing to the next level in the second year is obtaining a second spirit ring. Although I know you've already passed that hurdle, we still need to go through the procedures," Zhang Lexuan said with a smile. "Little Ye Qing, why don't you show us your spirit ring?"

Ye Qing nodded, snapped his fingers, and a heavy, oppressive aura immediately emanated from him, instantly enveloping the entire Academic Affairs Office.

Yellow, purple, black, black!

Soul rings inherently possess an aura, let alone two high-quality ten-thousand-year soul rings!

In the academic affairs office, students whose strength was below the third ring were immediately forced to sit on the ground by this aura, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Ye Qing's terrifying soul ring ratio.

"Gulp..." The sound of swallowing saliva rose and fell, even Han Ruoruo was no exception.

"Le Xuan, sister! I don't think dating your brother is entirely unacceptable..."

(Zhang Lexuan: I treat you like a best friend, but you want to be my sister-in-law?!)
