HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
122 - Xiliang City

The horse carriage that Xiao Shuxiang and his companions rode on was the same as the horse carriage that had previously been. It was Liu Wei Lin who went to look for their horse carriage and although the passengers were now increasing by two people - in fact the horses pulling this carriage did not find it difficult at all.


"Brother Xiao, how are you doing now?" Liu Wei Lin asked as he had seen Xiao Shuxiang's blood-filled back.


"I was cared for by the White Cat, so it would certainly be fine." Xiao Shuxiang's smiling and handsome face naturally looked extremely charming. It was a kind of charm that made anyone feel watered with warm water from spring.


Xiao Shuxiang obviously wanted to tease Ling Qing Zhu, but somehow the one who responded to his words earlier was Zhi Shu, this fellow disciple of his even embracing his arm.


Xiao Shuxiang blinked and nudged Zhi Shu slightly, he said. "Can you sit somewhere else? You're between me and the White Cat, are you intentionally or completely insensitive?"


Zhi Shu tightened her embrace and leaned spoiledly on Xiao Shuxiang, she said. "I miss you so much, Brother Xiao. We haven't seen each other in a long time and I've held back until I can't get to~ so let me hold you for a bit,"


Mo Huai and Wang Zhao looked pale-faced, they stared at Zhi Shu who was honestly shameless for daring to stick that close to Xiao Shuxiang. Especially in those conditions witnessed directly by Ling Qing Zhu.


"Zhi Shu, you are already like Yi Wen. Let's give it a little space, my arms ache." Xiao Shuxiang felt something warm and gentle on his arm, his words only made Mo Huai and Wang Zhao's expressions worse.


"Aah~ Brother Xiao, but I won't."


"Oh, my goodness, this boy...." Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and shook his head slowly, he gave up. "Yes, just hug as you like."


Zhi Shu smiled and moved Xiao Shuxiang's hand until it looked like the young man was embracing her. He then hugged Xiao Shuxiang's waist and leaned against his brother's body.


Zhi Shu turned his head slightly towards Ling Qing Zhu, he said. "Miss Ling, you don't mind, do you?"


Ling Qing Zhu gasped when spoken to by Zhi Shu, he responded while nodding softly. "Mn, no problem. Just go ahead,"


Xiao Shuxiang heard it and then protested, "White Cat. You shouldn't have let your husband be hugged by another girl. Aren't you jealous?"


Ling Qing Zhu's brows slightly furrowed, he made a calm voice. "Miss Zhi Shu is not another girl, she's your brother."


"But..."


"You don't want to marry a college brother, so I don't mind."


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, "Even if I hug Zhi Shu like this, you won't be jealous?"


"Sa-Brother Xiao," Zhi Shu patted Xiao Shuxiang's chest as this young man gave him such a tight hug. "Your armpits, Brother Xiao..! My face, ouch..!"


Liu Wei Lin endured the laughter of seeing Xiao Shuxiang purposely flanking Zhi Shu in his armpits. He shook his head because it was rare for a young man to behave as attractive as his new friend.


Xiao Shuxiang finally let go of Zhi Shu, he asked. "How now? It smells sour, doesn't it?"


Zhi Shu coughed and then shook his head. His cheeks turned red, "You don't smell at all, Brother Xiao. You smell like baby milk and lotus flowers, but I don't like it because you flank me so hard to breathe. You're a bitch,"


"Zhi Shu! You still dare to hug me?" Xiao Shuxiang flinched as the girl beside him was still willing to cling to him after what he had already done.


Zhi Shu, "I miss you so much. So let me take off the miss first. I love you so much, Brother~"


Ling Qing Zhu and Lan Guan Zhi shook their heads when they saw Zhi Shu's behavior. This was still one person from the Butterfly Sect who met Xiao Shuxiang and was already this excited. What would happen if they met two or three disciples from the sect again?


Mo Huai had trouble swallowing his saliva. Just Zhi Shu, please, all he knew had a calm and graceful disposition could still act shamelessly like this - especially if they met Jing Mi or Yi Wen who incidentally people who could not keep quiet. Just thinking about it had already made Mo Huai's feelings uneasy.


Xiao Shuxiang took a breath and resigned as he re-embraced. He stared at the ceiling of the carriage that carried him, exhaling. "Oh my God, what good has I done in my previous life to get to know someone like Zhi Shu...? Haaa... I'm really loved,"


Xiao Shuxiang turned his head towards Ling Qing Zhu. He could not hide his heart and said, "White Cat. If only you could slightly imitate Zhi Shu's behavior, then it would be very good."


Ling Qing Zhu turned his head and snorted in response. From the look in his eyes alone, Ling Qing Zhu clearly said 'Shameless' and 'Suspicious' to his Guardian.


Liu Wei Lin opened his fan, "I'm becoming more and more interested in your life, Brother Xiao."


"Brother Liu," Xiao Shuxiang smiled and then laughed bitterly, "You better not imagine it. I'm sure you won't be able to stay a minute in my sect if you see the behavior of the children in that place. They're a lot wilder than this girl,"


"Brother Xiao~" Zhi Shu pouted, "What do you think we are, huh? For whose teaching are we like this? The wild nature of our brothers is not down from you?"


"But did I ever teach you to scout and scour people like this?" Xiao Shuxiang looked at Zhi Shu. He does not want to be blamed for anything that is not his.


Zhi Shu of course did not want to lose. He also quipped, "You always buy Young Master Lan and ponder over her. Everyone knows, so we certainly learned it from you."


Xiao Shuxiang was startled not to play, even Mo Huai, Wang Zhao and Liu Wei Lin glared in disbelief. Ling Qing Zhu himself looked towards his Guardian Protector as the young man had already taught a shameful thing to the disciples of the Butterfly Sect. Now he knew why he was always anxious to discipline his Guardian Siblings.


"I-I have never groaned Lan Guan Zhi..! When did I do that?! You don't talk so much..!" Xiao Shuxiang protested, but his refusal seemed unable to shake off the strange shadow that flashed through Wang Zhao and Liu Wei Lin's minds.


Zhi Shu looks innocent, he made Xiao Shuxiang a throb. Protector Ling Qing Zhu asked Lan Guan Zhi for help.


"Lan'Er, explain to them. When have I ever loved you?"


"..............." Lan Guan Zhi stared expressionlessly at his good friend. He said slowly, "........ You don't remember?"


Xiao Shuxiang was surprised, "Lan Zhi-"


"Well, Brother Xiao..." Liu Wei Lin interjected, "I didn't expect you to turn out to be such a person,"


"No, it's not what you think it is..." Xiao Shuxiang tried to defend himself, "Brother Liu--"


"Now I'm jealous," Ling Qing Zhu interrupted and returned making Xiao Shuxiang flinch.


Zhi Shu himself seemed to be holding back a laugh from it.


It did not start from where, but it was clear that Xiao Shuxiang was being teased by his friends. Even Ling Qing Zhu took part. Their journey does not feel long.


The huge stone that became the welcome marker in Xiliang City had just been passed by the horse carriage carrying Xiao Shuxiang and his companions.


They had left early in the morning and arrived in the city at noon. It was just that what greeted Xiao Shuxiang with his friends was not the atmosphere of a bustling and picturesque city - rather a city with many ruined buildings along with a sky covered in dark clouds.


!!


Mo Huai who was only the most ordinary cultivator was aware of the surrounding atmosphere that had suddenly changed drastically. He flicked the curtains of the carriage window and looked out.


"You guys take a look at this--" Mo Huai had just spoken when he suddenly heard such a loud thunderclap. Wang Zhao and the others were shocked.


The horses carrying them could feel the ground trembling. They saw a dark cloud-covered sky above, but before the sky was still bright.


Lan Guan Zhi stood up and walked with definite steps towards the back of the carriage. He saw an unusual sight.


The large stone that became the boundary of two cities is seen to have a line of spans made of sunlight.


Lan Guan Zhi saw the region of Chenqing City so bright and warm due to the sunlight, while the place he was in now had a gloomy, cold and gripping feel.


Lan Guan Zhi knocked on the edge of the gate and made the horse carriage that carried him stop. He went down with Ling Qing Zhu following him behind.


The sound of lightning returned and this time it was louder than before. Zhi Shu immediately stood up as he felt that something had been hit by the lightning strike.


Wang Zhao held his breath, he looked at Xiao Shuxiang as well. "Mr Xiao..."


"Mn, looks like we did get to the right place. Come out and see what happens," Xiao Shuxiang stood up and came down from the carriage, he was followed by Wang Zhao, Liu Wei Lin and Mo Huai.
