HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
125 - First Mission

The rabbit held by Xiao Shuxiang jumped down when it was seen a wide expanse with a large tree in the middle. The white-haired animal regrouped with other rabbits and appeared to surround the tree.

Liu Wei Lin gasped and held Xiao Shuxiang back from going any further. The vast expanse of grass before them produced bursts of fire and lightning. Even some rocks also bring out the same thing.

Zhi Shu walked up to Xiao Shuxiang and continued to look forward, "Brother. Have I never asked you this before? What exactly are we here for?"

Xiao Shuxiang and Liu Wei Lin gasped at Zhi Shu's question. They looked up and looked at the girl.

The Zhi Shu who was being stared at again said, "I mean. If we want to go to the Thousand Sword Palace, the direction is at the border of Chenqing City before. We don't need to enter this Xiliang City,"

Liu Wei Lin flinched, "That's right. But to the Thousand Swords Palace can also go through Xiliang City,"

Zhi Shu, "But won't it take longer?"

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled, "Zhi Shu. Looks like I haven't said anything to you. We did intend to go to the Thousand Sword Palace, but before that we had to go to Xiliang City first for the lightning. I'm on a mission to collect five types of lightning, man."

Zhi Shu flinched, he blinked. "Brother Xiao, why do you have such a strange mission. What do you do with those five types of lightning and how do you pick them up? Do I want to stand there waiting for lightning to strike you?"

Xiao Shuxiang snorted, "Do you think being struck by lightning can't kill people? Outside of this usually Xiao Shuxiang, I don't want to put myself in danger."

Zhi Shu, "So .... Five types of lightning? What do you want to do, brother?"

"You don't need to know. Clearly this is a mission that is very mandatory,"

Lan Guan Zhi walked up to his good friend and asked, "How many lightning bolts have you gathered?"

Xiao Shuxiang shook his head, "No one yet. This is the first one,"

Lan Guan Zhi exhaled and calmly said, "Wait here."

Xiao Shuxiang and his other companions noticed as Lan Guan Zhi used body lightening techniques and treaded gently amidst the white bunny.

The figure of Lan Guan Zhi was so handsome and full of prestige. His self-image is perfection. He charmed his friends just by watching him stand up.

Lan Guan Zhi always carried two swords with him, he seemed to pull out one of the swords that looked old and rusty. Wang Zhao and Liu Wei Lin froze in disbelief with the weapon belonging to the white-clothed young man.

Despite not saying anything, the facial expressions of the two had said. 'The rusty old sword broke the meaning of 'Perfect' on the figure of Lan Guan Zhi'.

Liu Wei Lin blinked, "The weapon can't even be used slashing. It felt as if it could be destroyed with just a single light---!!" jolt!!"

Liu Wei Lin's eyes suddenly widened when he saw the drastic change there was a rusty old sword that Lan Guan Zhi was holding. The weapon was quickly enveloped in a golden yellow light and made its small blade become wide, the size of the sword was even larger than the one before.

Wang Zhao was also startled, he noticed there was a golden yellow line at the center of Lan Guan Zhi's sword blade. The weapon was shiny and very sharp, especially now there are small lightning bolts that seem to be released by the sword.

The old sword that Xiao Shuxiang had once insulted was named Shanghai, the Heavenly Sword Sect's ancestral weapon that even the previous elders had never managed to pull out of its scabbard.

Zhi Shu was amazed at how amazing and admirable Lan Guan Zhi was, especially when the young man swung Shanghai.

Ling Qing Zhu himself noticed how a huge flash of lightning came out from Lan Guan Zhi's sword and as if provoked lightning up there to strike down.

A fierce loud sound was created and even made Mo Huai close his eyes and close his ears. His heart seemed to be torn down and his body had almost collapsed had it not been held back by Ling Qing Zhu.

Xiao Shuxiang watched as there were two lightning bolts. One came from Lan Guan Zhi's sword and the other was a lightning bolt from the sky. The white rabbits that were around his good friend jumped up and ran around as if avoiding Lan Guan Zhi.

Mo Huai who had opened his eyes in shock with the rabbits, hid behind Ling Qing Zhu and subconsciously held onto the two arms of the girl.

Mo Huai's face was so pale, "Miss Ling. Help me..!"

Ling Qing Zhu reached out and gently rubbed Mo Huai's head. He said calmly, "Don't worry. I'm right here,"

Mo Huai was startled at Ling Qing Zhu's actions, he spontaneously brushed off the white-haired girl's rough hand and took a step back. He made Ling Qing Zhu flinch and the girl immediately turned her head back.

"Pardon me. L'm... I didn't intentionally," Mo Huai lowered his gaze and did not dare to look at Ling Qing Zhu. His voice was even trembling.

"You okay?" Ling Qing Zhu clearly did not mind Mo Huai's shocking actions just now.

"What are you doing in the back?" Xiao Shuxiang walked up to Ling Qing Zhu and then asked, "White Cat. Are you cheating on me?"

"No," Ling Qing Zhu replied expressionlessly. "Mo Huai was afraid of the rabbit, I protected him."

Xiao Shuxiang crossed his hands and shook his head slowly. He also looked at Mo Huai who was still bowed with a body that seemed to tremble. Xiao Shuxiang said, "Mo Huai. Get on the train, I don't want you to faint."

Mo Huai nodded and followed Xiao Shuxiang's words. He immediately entered into the carriage of the horse carriage with a deteriorating facial expression, either from shock with the rabbits or being too shocked over Ling Qing Zhu's treatment of him.

Xiao Shuxiang no longer saw Mo Huai, he nudged Ling Qing Zhu and solemnly said. "I just saw you rub Mo Huai's head, you really want to cheat on me huh?"

"No,"

"Mo Huai's age is younger than yours, White Cat. You can't be like this," Xiao Shuxiang looked at Ling Qing Zhu and continued, "Even if you're as old as you, you still shouldn't pay too much attention to him. What if someone misunderstands and thinks our relationship is not okay? I don't want to take it,"

Ling Qing Zhu blinked as this young man beside her instead embraced his right arm and leaned his chin on his shoulder while whining spoiled. He coldly said, "Keep away."

"White cat, you care about other people but not me. Do you really not like me?"

"This is not the time to be childish, Shuxiang." Ling Qing Zhu reached out and patted slowly on the cheek of his Guardian Protector, he reminded. "Be aware of the situation and stand properly, come on."

"Kiss me first,"

"Don't test your luck,"

"Then let me kiss you-"

Xiao Shuxiang released his embrace on Ling Qing Zhu's arm and turned his head towards Zhi Shu. She clucked, "Can you be empty air when my wife and I are being affectionate? You're ruining the mood,"

"Shameful." Ling Qing Zhu snorted and flicked his sleeves before finally walking up to Wang Zhao. He now focused on seeing Lan Guan Zhi without caring about the debate between the two fellows back there.

Liu Wei Lin shook his head slowly. He walked over to Ling Qing Zhu and said slowly, "Miss Ling? Can I ask you something?"

"Mn," Ling Qing Zhu nodded.

"Miss Ling and Brother Xiao.... Are you really married?"

"Mn, right."

Liu Wei Lin let out a disappointed sigh and closed his fan. However, it was not long before she opened the fan in her hand and asked again, "Did Miss Ling have no intention of parting from her?"

"Brother Liu, I hear you." Xiao Shuxiang stopped his debate with Zhi Shu and stared towards Liu Wei Lin. He said, "You won't be able to get the White Cat. She's mine,"

"I'm just asking..." Liu Wei Lin without hesitation said, "Who knows if Miss Ling finds a mismatch with you and ends up making another decision."

Liu Wei Lin smiled gently at Ling Qing Zhu, "I just want to tell Miss Ling to be able to see me as her next choice. I promise I'll always make you happy,"

Ling Qing Zhu blinked, he looked at Liu Wei Lin and nodded slowly. "Thank you,"

"White cat, you don't listen to him." Xiao Shuxiang was just about to walk over when being held back by Zhi Shu. He flinched and looked at his brother, "You're what?"

"We're not done yet,"

Xiao Shuxiang turned his head back towards Ling Qing Zhu without rebelling as Zhi Shu held onto his arm. He called out, "White Cat..! You can't believe a man promises you 'happiness. Life goes on, there's no way you'll be happy forever. Especially this is a tough world,"

Zhi Shu snorted, "Brother Xiao? Since when did you learn to advise like such a wise man? You don't fit in at all,"

Ling Qing Zhu turned his head and looked at his Guardian Protector. Without a tone, he said. "But you said you wanted to make me happy, remember?"

Xiao Shuxiang flinched, he blinked. "True, too,"

Zhi Zhu held back his laughter and struck Xiao Shuxiang's arm. "Brother Xiao, you are also an unreliable man. Ha ha ha, didn't I tell you being wise doesn't suit you, pffft."

Xiao Shuxiang flicked Zhi Shu's forehead and made the girl moan. He walked over to Ling Qing Zhu and without warning shifted Liu Wei Lin roughly to make the young man end up in Wang Zhao's arms by accident.

Xiao Shuxiang was seen ignoring his actions just now. He instead focused on looking at Ling Qing Zhu and said softly, his eyes shady.

"White Cat, at that time I said I wanted to make you happy. But I never promised it," Xiao Shuxiang grabbed Ling Qing Zhu's hand and gently patted the back of the pretty girl's hand.

Xiao Shuxiang said, "I am the hardest person to make a promise. If the promise is not fulfilled, then you must swallow a thousand needles. So I try not to make any promises,"

Ling Qing Zhu muttered, "That's the promise of the little finger. Too childish,"

Xiao Shuxiang smiled, "Right. But it is still used even by adults,"

"........ Mn, it seems so."

Zhi Shu wagged her bandaged hand. The pain in both of his hands had already moved and became a sultry feeling in his heart seeing Xiao Shuxiang who was filled with tricks.

Zhi Shu exhaled and shook his head slowly. He muttered, "It really sucks. My brother Xiao could have been looking for an opening to take a chance, very cunning. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I have much to learn from him."

Zhi Shu gasped when he saw Lan Guan Zhi walking over. The young man in white clothes was reclining Shanghai. The handsome young man had already lost a lot of interesting spectacle.

Lan Guan Zhi did not know what was going on among his friends, but he still watched Xiao Shuxiang holding Ling Qing Zhu's hand. Somehow he wanted to kick his best friend's ass and tie it to a tree branch.

Wang Zhao walked up to Lan Guan Zhi and looked worried, "You okay?"

"Mn," Lan Guan Zhi nodded in response before finally approaching Xiao Shuxiang and flicking hard at his good friend's forehead.

Xiao Shuxiang spontaneously whimpered and then rubbed his forehead softly. She grimaced and looked at her best friend, "Lan'Er..! What problem do you have?! Ohhh..!"

Lan Guan Zhi took out a glass ball the size of an adult fist formed from the lightning in the sky and the lightning that was on his sword. He thrust it at Xiao Shuxiang.

Lan Guan Zhi said curtly, "Two types of lightning. To you, who are so shameless."

Zhi Shu saw Xiao Shuxiang flinch and blink. He did not waste this opportunity to avenge his Brother Xiao.

Zhi Shu walked over and insinuated, "Haaah... Brother Xiao. Young Master Lan is so loyal and cares deeply for you. Young Master Lan even collected the lightning you wanted and made your work light, but you did.... Haaa. It's a pity that Young Master Lan, his sacrifice is not considered in the least."

Zhi Shu shook his head and exhaled in disappointment, "What a tragic love story. I can't even think about it,"

Lan Guan Zhi, "Miss Shu-"

"Zhi Shu's. You start again," Xiao Shuxiang will not be affected. He looked at Lan Guan Zhi and received the glass ball given by his best friend. Himself smiles.

Lan Guan Zhi asked, "You're not going to tell me anything about the functions of those five types of lightning?"

Xiao Shuxiang replied in a soft voice, "I want to cultivate it so that it can be used to remove some of the roots on the dantian."

Lan Guan Zhi frowned, "You're going to take root again?"

Xiao Shuxiang shook his head, "It's not for me. But for Wang Zhao,"
