HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
121 - Togetherness (3)

Xiao Shuxiang gasped at Ling Qing Zhu's question, yet he replied in a calm tone.


Xiao Shuxiang, "Because if he's not the one who died, then I'll die."


"......... You're not sorry?"


Xiao Shuxiang looked towards the mirror and saw the reflection of his White Cat face. He smiled gently, "Do I look sorry?"


Ling Qing Zhu flinched, he stood up and then turned around. He looked at his Guardian Protector's face and with a serious-self facial expression asked, "Did you never feel regret even once?"


Shuxiang frowned and felt that the direction of this conversation was very serious. He walked up to one of the chairs and sat there. He gestured for his White Cat to come closer.


As Ling Qing Zhu was already sitting on the other chair, Xiao Shuxiang said. "White cat, instead of me wanting to be cruel. But the rules of the world I see are like that. I mean, if you don't dare take the life of any creature-then don't be a swordsman."


"..............."


Ling Qing Zhu watched carefully his Guardian Protector. He said, "Sometimes I feel that I know you. But sometimes not, either,"


"Shuxiang," Ling Qing Zhu continued. "What is this about you .... Which reflects the real you?"


Xiao Shuxiang stared into his White Cat face and then said, "I don't know what you mean. But .... Are you scared .... To me?"


Ling Qing Zhu shook his head, "Come ...."


"..............."


"..............."


Xiao Shuxiang and Ling Qing Zhu were both silent for a long time. They stared at each other before finally lowering their eyes.


The atmosphere in the room was very quiet before Xiao Shuxiang started the conversation first.


"Actually I don't know what to say, White Cat .... I didn't want to explain anything because it would look like I was defending myself. You must have found out a lot about me. So I just wanted to ask you your opinion,"


Ling Qing Zhu looked at the young man in front of him and breathed slowly. He said, "You .... The worst of the worst,"


"..............."


"From the story I heard, Xiao Shuxiang had no pity at all. Let alone forgiving the lives of others, even the lives of his own parents he did not let go. They said .... Xiao Shuxiang did not have a human heart,"


"..............."


Seeing his Guardian Guard silent made Ling Qing Zhu again make a sound. "I heard .... You don't understand the relationship between humans. You have a lot of bad things and I .... Honestly afraid to hear it,"


Xiao Shuxiang nodded softly, "I do not understand anything related to something as subtle as the feelings among humans. I am kind to people who treat me well. I will repay the evil man for me. And I will honor those who have dared to sacrifice for my sake. I .... Very respectful to you, White Cat."


Ling Qing Zhu flinched. He blinked, "You .... Honoring me?"


"Mn, you once protected me in front of everyone. You took care of me even though I often did bad things to you. I .... Honestly, I don't want you to be afraid of me. I can't apologize for what I did to your uncle. I feel like it would be even more evil to apologize without regret in it,"


Ling Qing Zhu exhaled, his gaze slightly bowed. He said slowly, "......... You don't have to apologize. It was the destiny of the heavens. The missing life .... Can't go back,"


"..............."


The voice as Ling Qing Zhu spoke was so calm. But if you look carefully, there is a tone that sounds a little shake. Xiao Shuxiang could even find such a thin difference.


Xiao Shuxiang's countenance slightly changed, "The lost One cannot return...? Chapter on the Spirit and resurrection .... The Book of the Sun Killer. What is possible ...."


Xiao Shuxiang held his breath, he had just thought of something extremely dangerous but immediately brushed it off. "can't. I'm not that kind of person to have to tell the White Cat my findings. This girl does look like she loves her uncle so much, but I'll never want to do something that's completely unfavorable to me."


Xiao Shuxiang blinked, his eyes slightly different. "I am now the Protective Guardian of the White Cat and replaced his dead uncle. The White Cat now only needed to cherish this Venerable Xiao Shuxiang. Can't be the other one,"


"White Cat...?" Xiao Shuxiang said softly, "So .... Are you still afraid of me?"


"..............." Ling Qing Zhu looked at the charming figure before him, but did not say anything.


Xiao Shuxiang continued, he said slowly. "Actually .... When you were alone with Lan Zhi in this room .... I accidentally heard your conversation. Lan Zhi asked about your feelings for me, but you replied 'don't know'. What .... You .... Actually don't like me?"


Ling Qing Zhu was surprised, but he could still control his emotions to the point of not being seen on his facial expression. But not so with the gaze of his eyes that were as blue as the sky.


"Shuxiang," Ling Qing Zhu interrupted. "I want to treat you right too. But often the feeling of doubt comes and scares me,"


"But I didn't hurt you..." Xiao Shuxiang shook his head, "You made me want to cry. I've been very careful all this time. I don't make jokes that go too far with you, I don't play with your feelings. I'm not even flirting with you like I do with other people out there, though honestly I really want to. But you know, I'm really holding back because to me you're special and you're a person who doesn't want to be played with. You .... Mm... How do I explain it, huh...? You're like .... Like...."


"Star in my heart?"


"Star in the heart-!!" Xiao Shuxiang was shocked to the point of unconsciously opening his mouth when he saw the girl before him smiling.


!!!


A thunderous roar suddenly rang out within Xiao Shuxiang's chest. So shocked, the young man fell out of his chair and moaned because his forehead hit the edge of the table.


"Sw.. Ouch..." Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his forehead.


Ling Qing Zhu was actually startled by the Guardian's exaggerated response. He shook his head slowly and then snorted, "Shameful."


Xiao Shuxiang pulled out his chair and sat back down while rubbing his forehead. Both of his ears somehow since when the red hue even a sense of surprise still appears on his face.


Xiao Shuxiang looked at her White Cat and only saw a very beautiful face, yet with a flat expression. Whereas before, clearly seen a line of smiles painted on the snow-white face of this girl before him.


"Sw... Ouch..." Xiao Shuxiang was still moaning, "What was just my hallucination or just now you .... Really smile,"


Ling Qing Zhu snorted, "Impossible."


"Seriously, White Cat! I really saw you smiling..!"


"No way,"


"You don't lie, White Cat. I saw him," Xiao Shuxiang struck the table before him and clucked in admiration. He looked at Ling Qing Zhu and said, "My heart seems to have collapsed and exploded because of you. I didn't think you could smile,"


"No way," Ling Qing Zhu insisted unwillingly admit it.


"White Cat, you start over-" Xiao Shuxiang will just continue to talk when he hears a knock on the door.


Ling Qing Zhu turned his head. She felt saved by whoever knocked on her bedroom door. He got up and went to get his veil.


Xiao Shuxiang himself walked towards the door, he heard the voice of the girl calling his name. He recognized this voice.


Xiao Shuxiang opened the door and saw a girl who, although beautiful, had yet to rival the beauty of her White Cat.


The one knocking on the door was none other than Zhi Shu, the girl wearing white clothes and with her hair beautifully scattered. He was slightly jolted because the one who opened the door was Xiao Shuxiang.


Zhi Shu asked, "Brother Xiao? You wake up early?"


"Mn? Why do you look astonished? Is seeing me get up so early so surprising?"


Zhi Shu looked at the face of the young man standing before her, saying guiltlessly. "Brother Xiao, just think about it. You're the one who, when you're asleep, will be hard to wake up."


Zhi Shu watched his brother from top to bottom and continued, "Can you see you on this sunny morning.... Could it be that my Brother Xiao and his wife have already done 'this and that'?"


Zhi Shu's smile burst open, he furrowed his brows while teasing Xiao Shuxiang. His actions made the charming figure before him snort.


"Zhi Shu, you're a bitch. I'm in a period of approach and because of this you-ritual and it just doesn't happen." Xiao Shuxiang exhaled, "Haah... For some reason now I want to ravage the Butterfly Sect, tie up all of its disciples and drag them to the Sky Sword Sect to be disciplined."


Zhi Shu poked her lips, "So Brother Xiao thinks I'm a bully, don't you think?"


"It's obvious you're a bully." Xiao Shuxiang replied, "Are you not aware of interrupting time with me with the White Cat?"


"Brother Xiao, this is not my fault." Zhi Shu defended herself, "You should spend a long time at night instead of this early in the morning. Besides, the reason I came here is also to say that you and Miss Ling have been waiting for the others. Is our train ready or do you really want to stay here?"


"Yes, yeah. I'm gonna go. White Cat, come on." Xiao Shuxiang walked out, he also took Ling Qing Zhu along.


Their journey must continue. This time the city they were going to visit was Xiliang City, a place where the rumbling sounds and lightning strikes in the sky never disappeared.
