I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.
Chapter 250: Petty Thoughts Abound
After talking with Moon, Xu Xingyu headed towards the Qiling Tower branch in Shrek City. Accompanying him were Ma Xiaotao, whom Xu Xingyu had just started teaching, and Zhang Lexuan, who had been forced to be taken care of by him.
To be honest, Xu Xingyu couldn't understand why Mu En insisted on having Zhang Lexuan follow him, saying that she should be the middleman between Shrek and Qiling Tower, and to serve as the next generation's Sea God Pavilion Master's cultivation.
But why does Xu Xingyu feel like she's seen a similar script somewhere before? It seems like Xu Jiujiu was used as an intermediary between the Spirit Tower and the Star Luo Empire back then, right?
Surely Mu En isn't plotting the same thing as the Star Luo Empire? You know, the marriage between Xu Xingyu and Xu Jiujiu that was blocked was arranged before he was even born.
In addition, Xu Xingyu has great respect for her grandfather in this life and considers him family. Moreover, Xu Jiujiu is a good person. Xu Xingyu has long since tried every means to break off the engagement.
According to Xu Xingyu's recollection of Mu En in the original work, Mu En did indeed ask Zhang Lexuan to marry his grandson Bei Bei in exchange for helping her after saving her.
However, in his old age, Mu En regretted this matter. So when he saw that his grandson had no interest in that kind of relationship and had someone he liked, he began to often persuade Zhang Lexuan not to care about the vow she made back then and to be free to date.
At the same time, he did not directly tell Xu Xingyu that he was entrusting Zhang Lexuan to the other party in a forced transaction; he wanted Zhang Lexuan to make her own choices and move forward based on her own consciousness.
However, Zhang Lexuan was a bit stubborn, and since she had also fallen in love with Beibei, she chose to spend the rest of her life alone.
Therefore, Mu En's actions this time were probably just to train Zhang Lexuan's decision-making ability in this regard. After all, as the head of the Sea God Pavilion, one cannot only have strength; one must also have a certain understanding of business matters.
However, the reality is that Mu En does intend to give Zhang Lexuan to Xu Xingyu. Part of his intention is to ease the awkward relationship between Qiling Tower and Shrek Academy, and part of his intention is to free Zhang Lexuan from the constraints of the childish vows of the past.
Although Xu Xingyu was only with Shrek for two years, according to Moon's own observation, Xu Xingyu is still a good child.
Sometimes he is quite mature in his thinking, but sometimes he can be a bit naive in some aspects. He values promises and feelings for others, and you could say he is someone you would entrust Zhang Lexuan to without hesitation.
Moreover, Zhang Lexuan herself has very high standards. Ordinary people's talents simply cannot catch her eye. In all these years, Mu En has only seen one person, Xu Xingyu, who can surpass Zhang Lexuan in talent.
Xu Xingyu's only problem is that he's quite a womanizer at such a young age. Not only does he have two beautiful fiancées, but he also has girlfriends like Jiang Nannan and Xu Yanxue, which makes people truly envious and jealous.
Fortunately, Xu Xingyu is quite responsible in this regard. She is not the kind of person who falls in love with every guy she meets, but rather someone who values the relationship between two people very much.
Look at Ma Xiaotao! This poor girl has been launching her own offensive against Xu Xingyu ever since, but Xu Xingyu has been completely unmoved, like a rock. She doesn't accept Ma Xiaotao just because she's a rare beauty. Instead, she seems to be subtly rejecting her because of her personality.
Of course, if Mu En knew what Xu Xingyu and Ma Xiaotao had done during the treatment, then this argument could not be used as an example.
As for whether the two will eventually develop a relationship, Moon doesn't know. In any case, whether they do or not, it won't cause Moon any loss.
At worst, it would make Mu En feel even more apologetic towards Zhang Lexuan, that poor child. He shouldn't have made such a vow to such a young child in a moment of impulsiveness because of the deaths of his son and daughter-in-law.
Honestly, if Mu En could travel through time, the first thing he would do is beat up the version of himself that made Zhang Lexuan make that vow.
Back to the present, Xu Xingyu and her group have left Seagod Island and entered the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy, and are preparing to go from the outer courtyard to the Spirit Tower in Shrek City.
On the way, Zhang Lexuan kept asking questions about the Soul Guidance Devices and Soul Spirits of the Spirit Pagoda. It seemed that in addition to wanting to find out what the Spirit Pagoda could sell them, she was also preparing for the negotiations with Gu Yuena later.
As long as Zhang Lexuan's questions don't involve the secrets of their Spirit Tower, they'll just talk about the basic knowledge; it's like promoting a product.
As the two began to discuss things while traveling, Ma Xiaotao, who was traveling with them, felt that she couldn't get a word in edgewise, since knowledge about the merits and demerits of soul tools and soul spirits was completely foreign to her.
This made Ma Xiaotao feel somewhat aggrieved. Although she understood that the two were just dealing with ordinary official business, she felt a little jealous of their conversation.
Of course, this might also be because Ma Xiaotao felt during their conversation that she couldn't help Xu Xingyu no matter what she did. Her only advantage was her strength, but Ma Xiaotao's combat power was weaker than Xu Xingyu's, and Xu Xingyu also had a peerless expert like Gu Yuena as her wife.
To be honest, if it weren't for that accident during the treatment when an internal fire broke out, Ma Xiaotao wouldn't have been very confident in winning over Xu Xingyu and getting him to join her family.
Thinking about the embarrassing incident during treatment, Ma Xiaotao knew that she would likely face attacks from the other sisters later, even though Gu Yuena had made it clear that she would not get involved in this matter.
However, such behavior of a mistress who forcibly intrudes into someone else's family is still very annoying. Among all the sisters, Jiang Nannan is probably the only one who can forgive herself. Otherwise, she might turn evil because of the pleasant things she had with the other woman's boyfriend and then take drastic measures against herself.
Sigh, I hope I won't get into trouble with the other girls when I go. It would be even better if we could get along harmoniously.
As for the so-called position of the main wife, Ma Xiaotao dared not even dream of it. Putting aside Gu Yuena's strength, her own charm was terrifying.
Even though she had forced herself on him, he could still calmly accept her as family. This magnanimity truly befits the first person Xu Xingyu fell in love with.
Just then, the three of them finally arrived at the Spirit Tower, where an unexpected person came out to greet them.
The gates of the Spirit Tower slowly opened, and a black-haired girl in a Spirit Tower uniform greeted them with a cheerful smile, "Welcome to the Spirit Tower! May I ask if you are Junior Xu?!"
