Chapter 147 Dejected? No, quite excited.
Long You's detection of Tang Ya went smoothly, but his assessment of Bei Bei's condition was slightly off.
After a rather unsuccessful afternoon and being severely criticized by Yan Shaozhe, many people in the Martial Soul Department became irrational.
These people actually accused Bei Bei of colluding with the enemy. They claimed that because Bei Bei had a good relationship with the Soul Guidance Department, she deliberately leaked the situation of the Martial Soul Department during the command process, which led to the Martial Soul Department's eventual defeat and collapse halfway through the journey.
Such accusations are of course unfounded. Beibei immediately produced strong evidence to prove that she did not engage in such "traitorous" behavior at all (without a communication soul tool, Beibei had no means to transmit information).
Because Dean Yan Shaozhe hadn't left yet, those irrational core disciples of the Martial Soul Department were severely punished. However, after this incident, Bei Bei's heart was completely chilled.
The Martial Soul system lost the battle at such a great disadvantage. It's one thing that these elites of the Martial Soul system didn't immediately consider the possibility of incorporating soul tools into the battle, but they couldn't even reflect on their own actions.
Faced with criticism from the dean of the college, he actually lost control of his emotions, and his first reaction after losing control was to make random accusations and shirk responsibility. It's simply incomprehensible; he's unworthy of being called an elite.
So after the meeting of the Spirit Department ended, Bei Bei walked out of the Spirit Department's Panlong Classroom with her head down, feeling very depressed.
Despite her best efforts, Bei Bei was deeply disappointed. She had done her utmost, but all her companions looked at her with distrust (a few directly criticized her, but the vast majority looked at her with distrust).
After crossing Shrek Square, using the anti-gravity soul-guided skateboard and the simulated soul-guided device, Bei Bei created a quiet and undisturbed space for himself and Tang Ya on the Sea God Lake.
"Xiaoya, let's transfer to the Soul Guidance Department. I'm increasingly feeling like I'm not one of them in the Martial Soul Department."
Even though the advantages of soul tools have been so clearly demonstrated, why are the vast majority of students in the Martial Soul Department still so hostile towards the Soul Guidance Department?
The reason they said tonight, in a moment of emotional outburst, that the Soul Guidance Department could win because the Martial Soul Department's situation had been leaked, is fundamentally because they haven't acknowledged the Soul Guidance Department's strength.
They said that because they believed they would never lose in a direct confrontation. But the truth is, given the thoroughness of the Soul Guidance Department's preparations, even if we all arrived at their camp unharmed, it would be very difficult to have a chance.
"I don't object to transferring to the Soul Guidance Department."
Perhaps it was because she hadn't experienced the same pressure as Bei Bei, or perhaps Tang Ya had already foreseen that the Spirit System's victory was impossible, or perhaps it was the immense trauma of losing her parents in childhood that had forged a stronger inner strength. In any case, when Bei Bei's emotions were at their lowest point, Tang Ya remained rational and became the person Bei Bei could rely on in her vulnerable moments.
"However, you should know very well that although Dean Yan knows you didn't do that and severely punished those students who slandered you, none of the core disciples of the Martial Soul Department present at the time would change their minds so easily."
Just like you said, they haven't acknowledged that the Soul Guidance System's strength has increased and that they can now defeat them head-on. Based on this mindset, they'll only look for other excuses for their defeat in this battle.
If we were to announce our transfer to the Soul Guidance Department at this time, it could certainly be interpreted as a sign of disappointment with the Martial Soul Department and a desire for further growth in the Soul Guidance Department. However, it could also be explained as 'you're feeling insecure, you can't stay in the Martial Soul Department anymore, so you're running away.'
Based on the current situation, I'm 99% certain that things will develop into the latter scenario. Then your reputation will be truly ruined, and the pressure you face will be far greater than it is now.
Tang Ya held Bei Bei's arm and said these words, which were met with a long silence.
Being in a low mood doesn't mean Beibei's IQ has dropped. She hadn't thought about it before, but now that Tang Ya has brought it up, Beibei needs to consider it carefully.
So despite the long silence, Tang Ya did not show any signs of anxiety.
“You’re right,” finally Beibei’s voice broke the unsettling silence, “We can’t leave now, or we’ll look guilty.”
Anyway, with Senior Lin, Cai Tou, and Xiao You around, it's very convenient for us to learn about soul tools; there's no need to go to the Soul Guidance Department.
As for future battles between the two systems, just contribute your time and effort, but don't offer any strategies. Next year, the Martial Soul system definitely won't win.
"It's good that you've figured it out. It's already quite late. Xiao You might not mind being disturbed, but it's not appropriate to go back and bother my roommates right now. Let's go to Shrek City and grab some late-night snacks while we're at it. I'm a bit hungry."
[Shrek City? Not going back to the dorm?]
Beibei admitted that she was quite tempted at that moment. With her simulated soul tool on, she didn't even go ashore. Instead, she skateboarded directly on Seagod Lake, taking the shortest route to rush out of Shrek Academy.
At 10 PM, after getting a basic understanding of the semi-finished design blueprints for the Soul Ring Storage Soul Tool, Long You was just about to lie down on the bed when he received a message from Bei Bei on his phone: "I'm not going back tonight, I'm going to Shrek City. Do you want any breakfast? I'll bring it to you."
Overjoyed to receive this message, Long You was truly delighted. He had been craving beef soup dumplings from a soup dumpling shop in Shrek City for a long time, so Long You immediately replied to Bei Bei that he needed a basket of beef soup dumplings.
As a result, after the message was sent out, it disappeared without a trace, and there was no further response.
At first, Long You was a little curious whether Bei Bei hadn't adjusted to her emotions yet. After all, under normal circumstances, Bei Bei would definitely reply to her to show that she had received the message, and it was unlikely that she would be in this situation of reading but not replying.
(Longyou guessed it was read but not replied to, but the reality is, he's with his girlfriend, who would read your messages?)
Long You was initially hesitant about whether to send another message to comfort him, but suddenly he received another message on his phone.
It was a photo taken by the chubby Songhe. In the photo, Beibei and Tangya were walking into an inn, holding oden and chatting happily.
