HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
99 - Courage

Mo Huai along with Liu Wei Lin and Elder Meng Hao Niang came to a room, where Xiao Shuxiang was treated.


Inside the room were Ling Qing Zhu, Dao Fang An, Zhao Lu Si and some disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect. They were anxious because Xiao Shuxiang had not been conscious until now.


In another room in the Medicine Hall, another disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect was also treated. The Sacred Peak Mountain Elders and their disciples checked the condition of the people in each room.


"Young Master Xiao..?!" Mo Huai looked anxious, he even cried.


Meng Hao Niang looked at Dao Fang An who was sitting on the side of the bed, he said. "I heard everything and what this boy did. Why are none of you .... Ah, no. But you. Why don't you help him as the Chief Servant of this sect?"


Dao Fang An heard it and looked at Meng Hao Niang, "You already know all the stories. You must have also heard how talented this Delinquent Boy is. Everything is fine until you come. This delinquent will not be seriously injured if you do not stand before him."


Dao Fang An continued, "He pulled back the attack he should have slammed because he didn't want it to hurt you. Because of this action, the powerful drawn spirit energy actually exploded and made it this way. Thankfully .... Not to take his life."


"We don't know anything either," Meng Hao Niang defended himself, "We know that something is wrong when he sees the seal that traps the sect. But when it succeeded in destroying it and intending to check your condition, we had no idea that at the same time-this kid wanted to make a final attack."


Dao Fang An exhaled, "I know. You and the other elders are not to blame. Now how..? Are you just gonna stand there or help me treat this kid?"


Meng Hao Niang exhaled and walked over. He was just about to grab Xiao Shuxiang's hand when suddenly someone held his wrist first.


Meng Hao Niang flinched and immediately turned his head, the one holding his wrist was none other than Mo Huai. Dao Fang An and those in the room were shocked.


Dao Fang An, "Mo Huai..?"


"What are you doing?" Meng Hao Niang looked at the young man who had dared to hold his wrist.


Mo Huai's face was not clearly visible as he lowered his head. But his voice was still heard, he said. "Don't .... Don't touch him,"


Dao Fang An frowned, "Mo Huai? Elder Meng was only checking this Delinquent Boy. Why did you stop him?"


"I'm sorry ...." Mo Huai began to look at Dao Fang An, his countenance looking solemn. "Please let me check on Young Master Xiao, please,"


Mo Huai put his hands together and bowed apologetically to Meng Hao Niang. "I'm sorry Elder Meng, I'm just too worried about Young Master Xiao. It's the first time he's been hurt this badly, I .... Can't hold myself back. Please just let me treat him,"


Mo Huai bowed even deeper. Meng Hao Niang watched him expressionlessly. He said, "This is also the first time I've seen you speak so boldly."


Meng Hao Niang flicked his hand and turned around, "Give up. If you can treat your friend, then do it. I'll see the other students,"


"Thank you, Elder." Mo Huai returned in salute. He also nervously looked at Dao Fang An, Ling Qing Zhu and Zhao Lu Si in turn.


Mo Huai apologized again. He requested permission for Dao Fang An, Ling Qing Zhu, Zhao Lu Si and the other disciples who were in the room to give him the opportunity to treat Xiao Shuxiang personally.


Mo Huai requested that they all wait outside the room. Zhao Lu Si and his comrades gasped. They tried to resist, but Dao Fang An stopped the girls.


Just once a look, people could see that Mo Huai was so deeply worried about Xiao Shuxiang. This young man was even able to forget his nervousness and fear.


Ling Qing Zhu felt that way too. He patted Mo Huai's shoulder gently before stepping away leaving the room. He believed in the young man, Mo Huai had never asked for anything as bold as this before. It was obvious that Mo Huai was looking after his Guardian Guard.

Mo Huai was now left alone with Xiao Shuxiang. He tried to win himself even though his heart had been pounding uncontrollably ever since he grabbed Meng Hao Niang's wrist.


Mo Huai sat on the side of the bed and held Xiao Shuxiang's hand. He could feel how cold the hands of this unconscious young man were.


Mo Huai took a breath and said softly, "I'm sorry... I'm sure Young Master Xiao will support me. This is all I'm doing for your own good. If elder Meng were to conduct an examination and find an anomaly, he would know that you are actually an alchemist."


Mo Huai felt a pain in his throat, he again apologized. "Young Master Xiao .... I also don't want elder Meng to know who you really are. I don't want you in trouble. I'm really sorry,"


"Not necessary,"


!!


Mo Huai gasped in surprise. His eyes widened when he heard Xiao Shuxiang's voice, even though the young man's eyes were still closed.


"Young Master Xiao?" Mo Huai somehow felt somewhat scared.


"Mn," Xiao Shuxiang muttered in response. He was still closing his eyes, but he was already awake.


"Young Master, you... Be okay? Please open your eyes,"


"I can already hear your voice, but my body is still very weak. Don't talk to me just yet" Xiao Shuxiang coughed in blood and his forehead seemed to constrict.


The Dragon Breath Pill was indeed the most precious and extraordinary medicine. When touching the tongue, the pill melts so much that anyone taking it does not have to force themselves to swallow.


Mo Huai prepared the water and helped cleanse Xiao Shuxiang's body. He was shocked when he saw the back of that young man who was still bleeding, even he could see a little bit of Xiao Shuxiang's backbone.


Mo Huai gave a horrified goosebump, "Tu-Tuan Xiao? Don't you feel any pain?"


"Who said it didn't hurt?"


"I ... I see the blood on your back has stopped flowing out. But the wound I saw wasn't closed yet,"


"Help me get it-Ah, no. You call me the White Cat,"


Mo Huai who was cleaning the wound on Xiao Shuxiang's back looked shocked when he heard this young man's words just now. He blinked and then exhaled.


Mo Huai said, "Young Master Xiao? Do you want Miss Ling to see this terrible wound of yours? My hands were trembling, let alone Miss Ling. I can't explain how bad the wound on your back is. It's really a miracle you're alive and able to sit quietly,"


"Mo Huai, I'm holding back a shitty pain! Ouch--" Xiao Shuxiang whimpered, the pain intensified as he raised his voice. He said, "You call me the White Cat. I don't always want to be helped by men. It's gonna be so shitty,"


"Hmph, just say Young Master Xiao wants to be alone with Miss Ling." Mo Huai shook his head softly, "Young Master should focus more on your recovery, not on thinking about others instead,"


"White cat is not just anyone, you know. She was my wife," Xiao Shuxiang slightly raised his arm as Mo Huai began to bandage the wound on his back with a bandage.


"Young Master Xiao, it's not that I want to keep you away from Miss Ling. But do you remember the incident when my arm was injured and bandaged by Miss Ling? Miss Ling did not know how to clean the wound, how to dress it carelessly and she tied the bandage so tight. I thought by then my arm was completely gone because of it, "


"G ...." Xiao Shuxiang began to remember. It happened about three months ago.


"Trust or not..." Mo Huai continued saying, "Miss Ling can make you feel the true meaning of 'dying."


"Mo Huai's? Between the White Cat and me, who do you think is scarier?"


Mo Huai had finished bandaging the wound on Xiao Shuxiang's body and helped the handsome young man lie down.


He heard the question just now and said, "Young Master Xiao was already famous before. But I don't know anything about Miss Ling. His attitude was indeed full of dignity, graceful and wise. But as people say, 'The calm lake does not mean it does not contain danger,'"


Mo Huai enveloped Xiao Shuxiang and asked her to rest. "Young Master should sleep. I'll ask Miss Ling to bring you some food. He'll take care of you from now on, but to change bandages-let's still me do."


"No problem. But you know what to say, right?" Xiao Shuxiang smiled faintly.


Mo Huai exhaled, "Yes. Ja. I-i know. I'll tell you that Young Master Xiao was so badly injured that he shouldn't be left alone. He also cannot eat alone and must be helped. Miss Ling needs to look after Mr. Xiao for the whole day. I see, right?"


Mo Huai shook his head softly and began to exhale, "You are really taking advantage of your situation, Young Master Xiao."


Mo Huai was actually insinuating, but Xiao Shuxiang did not seem to be aware of it. He plainly said, "I'm really sick. I'm not lying,"


"Right, Young Master didn't lie. But you asked someone else to lie in your place."


"When did I ask you to lie?"


"Young Master!" Mo Huai pouted, "Truly annoying. Why is it so hard to argue with you?!"


"What did I say wrong? When did I ask you to lie? I just want to be helped,"


"Sleep," Mo Huai puffed his cheeks. He was indeed unable to win against Xiao Shuxiang. This young man is very clever quibbling and it's very annoying.


Mo Huai started to clean up the cloth and water he had used to wash away Xiao Shuxiang's body. He walked out and actually asked Ling Qing Zhu to bring food and take care of Xiao Shuxiang attentively.


Not only that. Mo Huai even said that it was good if Xiao Shuxiang was taken care of by a few people. Dao Fang An who was aware of Mo Huai's intentions also asked Zhao Lu Si and his girl colleagues to go check on the condition of the other students.


Although some girls refused and wanted to take care of Xiao Shuxiang, Dao Fang An still did not let them. Dao Fang An said that a Ling Qing Zhu was enough, moreover this white haired girl had more right to take care of Xiao Shuxiang than anyone else.


To Ling Qing Zhu, he actually did not mind if Zhao Lu Si and the girls wanted to help him take care of his Guardian. But not yet had time to say such a thing, Mo Huai had already first pulled him to go to the sect kitchen.


It felt as if Mo Huai had not let him talk. Ling Qing Zhu could only blink and calmly followed Mo Huai who pulled his hand.


On the other hand, Chu Gu Xiang who had arrived at the Demon Valley Sect appeared to be furious. He shouted and destroyed one of the pillars that was on the edge of the sect training arena. His eyes were so angry.


"Sekte Oceans of Clouds and the lowly steward .... I will definitely repay him! I'll kill them all... I'LL KILL THEM ALL..!!"


Throughout life. This was the first time Chu Gu Xiang had felt humiliated. He would never forget the face of the person who had dared to insult and humiliate him.
