Chapter 83: Chance encounter with Zhang Lexuan

Bai Zhou didn't find it appropriate to disturb Ma Xiaotao at this time, so he just wandered around casually.

After all, the Inner Court was completely different from the Outer Court.

The Outer Court was really like a higher-level academy, but the Inner Court was like a fairyland on earth, vast and sparsely populated, with pleasant scenery, and most importantly, the heaven and earth spiritual energy was abundant; cultivating here allowed one to better break through bottlenecks, and the cultivation speed was also faster.

Bai Zhou crossed the bamboo forest, stepped lightly along the gravel-paved path, and was met with a huge courtyard with pleasant scenery.

Various flowers and plants were planted in the courtyard in a staggered and orderly manner, flashing with vibrant brilliance in the sunlight.

In the center was a wide lawn, and when the breeze blew, waves of softness rippled through the grass.

On one side of the lawn was a quiet stream, the water flowing with a gurgling sound, carrying a brisk melody.

The courtyard was dotted with several exquisite pavilions and towers, blending into the scenery here.

If one lived here, it would definitely make people forget the hustle and bustle of the world and immerse themselves in tranquility and beauty.

Of course, Bai Zhou didn't think so.

Because the moment he arrived here, he had a bad premonition...

"This place is not suitable for staying long..."

Bai Zhou muttered in a low voice and turned to leave.

"Who are you, and why do you appear here?"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind Bai Zhou, and immediately after, an incomparably terrifying pressure fell directly on Bai Zhou.

The person who came was a Soul Douluo, but the pressure erupting from the opponent was almost close to the level of a Titled Douluo.

However, although the pressure was terrifying, its main function was intimidation, and it didn't cause much substantial harm.

Bai Zhou turned his head slightly, and then he saw a woman in purple clothes who looked to be in her twenties.

The opponent was tall, a bit taller than Ma Xiaotao, had long black hair, exquisite features, delicate skin, and although her figure wasn't as explosive as Ma Xiaotao's, it was still curvaceous, but the opponent's temperament was extremely cold and elegant, giving a feeling of keeping people at a distance...

Soul Douluo...

In her twenties...

There were few people in the Inner Court to begin with, so Bai Zhou instantly guessed the opponent's identity—the Inner Court's Senior Sister, Zhang Lexuan!

Only Zhang Lexuan's status could allow her to live in such a place.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan was hugging her chest, also sizing up Bai Zhou, with doubt and surprise in her eyes.

Because she discovered that the little junior brother in front of her had almost ignored the Soul Douluo pressure she released, which was a bit interesting...

"Senior Sister... I'm sorry... I'm a student from the Outer Court, I accidentally broke in here, I have no malicious intent..."

Bai Zhou twitched the corners of his mouth and hurriedly revealed an apologetic look.

"Hmph, if it weren't for seeing that you are also a student of Shrek, I would have killed you long ago for breaking into my residence."

Zhang Lexuan gave a soft huff, then asked: "What is your name, who is your teacher, and why do you appear here?"

Although Zhang Lexuan's voice was very pleasant, there was still a thick sense of interrogation in her tone.

And her gaze was completely locked on Bai Zhou; as long as Bai Zhou made any excessive moves, the opponent would definitely strike instantly.

"My name is Bai Zhou, I am Xian Lin'er's student, I have something to find Senior Sister Xiaotao about, so I entered the Inner Court myself, and then I got lost..."

Bai Zhou also didn't dare to hide anything, hurriedly explaining, and even reporting his family background to avoid being beaten up.

Although he was confident he could withstand a beating, he currently couldn't beat a Soul Douluo for the time being. What's more, this was Zhang Lexuan, not an ordinary Soul Douluo...

"Oh, so you are Bai Zhou, I've heard Xiaotao mention you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan slowly withdrew the pressure, and her guard against Bai Zhou also lessened a lot.

And she had also heard of Bai Zhou's talent, which could be said to be unique in both the Soul Tool Department and the Martial Soul Department.

She had actually always been curious about Bai Zhou, but had never seen him; today, she finally saw the real person.

"Senior Sister, I didn't find Senior Sister Xiaotao, can you take me to see her?" Seeing Zhang Lexuan restrain her hostility, Bai Zhou then made his request.

Although Zhang Lexuan was very beautiful, she was a devoted person, and wanting to take her down was even more difficult than taking down Xian Lin'er, so Bai Zhou wouldn't have designs on her for the time being.

It was better to see Ma Xiaotao first; otherwise, even if he had the token given by Xian Lin'er, it wouldn't be easy to move around in the Inner Court.

"Mm, Xiaotao is currently at the training ground, I'll take you to see her." Seeing Bai Zhou so polite, Zhang Lexuan inexplicably developed a lot of good feelings for Bai Zhou.

Because the Bai Zhou at this moment reminded her of Bei Bei when he was young; Bei Bei at that time was also so likable; originally, she treated Bei Bei as her own younger brother in her heart, and later the feelings changed, which was why she truly fell in love with Bei Bei.

Rather than saying she was Bei Bei's child bride, it was better to say Bei Bei was her child husband.

After all, Bei Bei was someone she had raised since he was small...

"Then thank you, Senior Sister~" Bai Zhou looked at Zhang Lexuan and gave her a brilliant smile; suddenly, he thought of something and pretended to ask curiously, "By the way, Senior Sister, you are so beautiful, can I know your name?"

"Pfft~"

Zhang Lexuan already had good feelings for Bai Zhou, and hearing this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Little guy, you're so glib at such a young age, what do you want to do?"

She had been pursued by countless boys in the Inner and Outer Courts; although Bai Zhou hid it extremely well, she still saw through the little thoughts of the other party wanting to flirt at a glance.

"No, I just want to know how to address you, Senior Sister, so that if I enter the Inner Court in the future, I can also thank you." Bai Zhou said very sincerely.

"My name is Zhang Lexuan, but they all call me Senior Sister; if you are willing, you can also call me that."

Zhang Lexuan covered her mouth, holding back her laughter.

If other strange boys asked this, she would definitely refuse coldly.

But when Bai Zhou asked this, she just felt it was interesting and didn't feel there was anything annoying about it.

After all, this little junior brother seemed to be a bit simple, with all his thoughts written on his face; she saw through what the other party was thinking at a glance, much better than those scheming men in the academy who used all kinds of flashy operations to pursue her.

At the same time, a strange feeling also arose in her heart; if it were truly calculated, this little junior brother named Bai Zhou should be considered her youngest suitor...

After all, she was a full 14 years older than Bai Zhou...

"Then I'll trouble Senior Sister to take me to find Senior Sister Xiaotao~" Bai Zhou revealed a shy look toward Zhang Lexuan.

"Mm, let's go."

Zhang Lexuan nodded gently, then took a slight step, came to Bai Zhou's side, gently touched Bai Zhou's head, and said with a serious face: "In the future, don't run around privately without anyone leading you; it's fortunate you met me; if you met some teachers with strange tempers, even if you have Dean Xian's token, you might not be able to avoid a sound beating."

"Mm-hmm, I know!"

Bai Zhou nodded repeatedly, acting very obediently.

After all, what Zhang Lexuan said made sense; the Inner Court was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers; many graduates actually didn't leave the academy but stayed in Shrek as teachers, but their main purpose was still wanting to live in this magical place of Sea God Island to cultivate.

If he broke into the cultivation grounds of some powerhouses randomly, although Xian Lin'er's token could keep him safe and sound, it would also bring trouble to Xian Lin'er.
