HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
131 - Togetherness (4)

Zhi Shu is seen walking along with Ling Qing Zhu, Liu Wei Lin, Wang Zhao and Mo Huai. They seem to be looking for someone.


"Actually where is Brother Xiao and Young master Lan?" Zhi Shu crossed hands, "We've already looked for him in young master Lan's room, but they're both non-existent."


Liu Wei Lin opened his fan, "Where might I know. This place is your residence and you know better what kind of person brother Xiao and young master Lan are."


"I won't ask you," Zhi Shu replied to Liu Wei Lin's words and then puffed her cheeks.


"We'd better just look for it," Wang Zhao proposed, "Where does young master Lan usually go? Maybe he's taking mister Xiao somewhere,"


Zhi Shu blinked and thought about it for a moment, "In addition to the room... Young master Lan had always spent time inside the library. Let's go there-"


"We're here," Ling Qing Zhu interrupted and expressionlessly walked ahead of his companions.


"Miss Ling..?" Mo Huai gasped, as did the others. They followed Ling Qing Zhu and were curious about this girl.


Ling Qing Zhu actually did not know where his feet were pointing his steps. He just continued walking and was even now in the forest at the back of the Thousand Sword Palace.


Mo Huai blinked as he saw two young men in white clothes walking out of the forest. He recognized them.


"Brother Xiao?" Zhi Shu flinched, he turned to Ling Qing Zhu and felt impressed that this girl could know the whereabouts of her brother.


"Miss Ling? How do you know Mr Xiao is here?" Wang Zhao asked, he was impressed too.


"......... I don't know. Maybe a hunch,"


"You guys...? What made you come here?" Xiao Shuxiang asked as he and Lan Guan Zhi had been near his friends.


"Certainly looking for you, Brother Xiao." Zhi Shu replied. "You left with Young Master Lan and left us just like that, you suck."


"Hey, I don't want it." Xiao Shuxiang defended himself and started walking with his friends, "Lan Zhi who kidnapped me. You saw it yourself, why do you think I'm wrong?"


Zhi Shu was just about to speak when Ling Qing Zhu suddenly interrupted. The thin veiled beautiful girl grabbed onto his Brother Xiao's hand without warning.


"What's wrong with your hand?"


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, not expecting his White Cat to be able to act like this. Liu Wei Lin, Wang Zhao and the others felt the same way.


"Master Xiao, are you injured?!" Wang Zhao looked at Xiao Shuxiang's right hand bleeding, and there was even fresh blood on it.


Mo Huai, "Young Master Xiao?! How did you get to bleed? You just finished doing what?"


Xiao Shuxiang calmly replied, "Mo Huai, you don't normally see me getting hurt. It's not a problem, I did it myself. Although it feels uncomfortable because my body's regeneration has really slowed down."


Xiao Shuxiang shook his head lamenting the healing from his own body that was already not as great as it used to be. Yet yet he had not had time to complain-his self became startled by Ling Qing Zhu's actions.


"White Cat...?" Xiao Shuxiang was stunned. He watched as Ling Qing Zhu tore off his own clothing cloth and then wrapped his injured hand.


Ling Qing Zhu gave a slightly tight knot of ties until the young man in front of him whimpered. "I'm sorry, I hurt you."


"....... You're too tight to tie it, but it doesn't matter."


"Brother Xiao, what exactly are you two doing in this forest?" Liu Wei Lin asked and this also made Wang Zhao and Mo Huai curious.


"It's a long story, I'll tell you as we walk. Come on," Xiao Shuxiang stepped up and began to explain the reason why he and Lan Guan Zhi could be in this forest.


Of course, there were some things that Xiao Shuxiang did not say. One of them was his homemade lubrication pill that he had already refurbished. He indeed did not wish if his alchemist abilities were too outstanding in front of Liu Wei Lin and also Wang Zhao.


Xiao Shuxiang understood. Liu Wei Lin and Wang Zhao had secrets that he did not know and this was related to how the two of them would sometimes be cold to each other.


Xiao Shuxiang was indeed not interested in the matter that bound the two new friends, but it did not mean that he would ignore it. Xiao Shuxiang simply did not want the estrangement between Liu Wei Lin and Wang Zhao to impact betrayal on him.


Is correct. Xiao Shuxiang was friends with these two people. But if the two new friends are actually at odds, then one of them could be a traitor and actually make him into trouble. Liu Wei Lin and Wang Zhao only needed to know as little information about him as possible.


And for this, Xiao Shuxiang needed to figure out a way for Zhi Shu not to say something that no one else should know. The beautiful girl despite looking graceful and dignified-Zhi Shu was still only a part of the Butterfly Sect disciples which meant that she belonged to 'Cerewet instead of playing'.


Elsewhere, the disciples of the Thousand Sword Palace who had previously learned a lesson from Xiao Shuxiang were now able to stand back up. Jian Yang's hand had been clad in cloth by Li Huanshou and he was now led to be taken to the Medicine Pavilion.


Jian Yang's friends didn't say much along the way. Pity was evident on their faces, this was obvious as it was certain that Jian Yang would become disfigured and no longer be able to wield a sword.


The other facial expression that appeared on the young children was 'Fear'. They were actually grudges to the young man who had already treated them like this, yet fear had already torn down that grudge. Even the way to avenge the actions of the young man named 'Shuxiang' was hard for them to think about.


On the other hand, Lan Guan Zhi thought about Jian Yang's fate. He was too quick to pull Xiao Shuxiang away that time, even though he was sure that he had seen Jian Yang's severely injured fingers.


Lan Guan Zhi indeed wanted Jian Yang to be aware of his actions and be willing to change, but Xiao Shuxiang's attitude to discipline the young man was too harsh. Moreover, his friend had already made Jian Yang disabled.


"......... Why is that so?!"


Lan Guan Zhi flinched, he seemed to have too many thoughts to not hear his good friend's talk with Zhi Shu, Liu Wei Lin and the others. The place he was at right now was no longer even behind the Thousand Sword Palace building.


Xiao Shuxiang was seen protesting to Zhi Shu. They talked about room division and were surprised when Liu Wei Lin had to go to the room with her White Cat.


"Brother, that's the rule." Zhi Shu explained, "You represent the Great Elder of the Cloud Sea Sect, right? And here, you brought Young Master Wang as a disciple. Miss Ling also represents the teacher of Young Master Liu and the rules, Master and Disciple will be made one room."


"But--"


"Brother Xiao," Liu Wei Lin interrupted. "You just accept it. We're only here for a few days and I'm not gonna do anything to your wife, either,"


"I can't believe you're obviously after my White Cat. Haaa... Aiya, my head hurts." Xiao Shuxiang massaged his forehead, he shook his head. "I have a wife, but I can never room with her. What kind of fate is this?!"


Mo Huai and Wang Zhao shook their heads, they became sorry for the household life of this enchanting young man.


Xiao Shuxiang exhaled, "The sky is really toying with me,"


"Brother, you don't complain to the sky." Zhi Shu advised, "See Dai Chen. He also often does not live in a room with his wife. His busy life as an emperor made him rarely spend time with big brother Lu Yang Beautiful."


"But Dai Chen has two wives,"


"Then look at Uncle Hao. She with aunt WeiWei doesn't even live at home. One became the Mayor of the Cold Cloud City and the other was the elder of the Butterfly Sect. They are married and rarely spend time together. So don't worry, Brother Xiao."


"Buddy, you don't understand..." Xiao Shuxiang turned his head and looked towards his White Cat.


Ling Qing Zhu who was consciously being stared at seemed to nod slowly and said expressionlessly, "I'll visit you occasionally."


"White Cat. Even though it was a little touching, but I still felt bad. What if you're tempted by Brother Liu's persuasion. He's a poetic man, he's good at talking."


"....... You are too much of a prejudice," Ling Qing Zhu walked up to his Guardian Guard and began to lend a hand.


Xiao Shuxiang was stunned as he felt his head rubbing slowly. The action of the girl in front of him was quite shocking and even her friends did not expect it.


"White Cat....."


"All will be well. I'll see you,"


Xiao Shuxiang blinked, he watched Ling Qing Zhu who started walking away after saluting Lan Guan Zhi, Wang Zhao and his other companions.


Liu Wei Lin walked over to Xiao Shuxiang and patted the young man on the shoulder with his fan. He smiled and said, "Brother Xiao. Take it easy, I will take good care of Miss Ling."


Xiao Shuxiang gasped when he heard Liu Wei Lin say. The young man walked up to his White Cat and seemed to show her a triumphant smile.


"He was very childish," Wang Zhao shook his head slowly at Liu Wei Lin's behavior, he looked at Xiao Shuxiang and calmed the young man down.


"Young Master Xiao--"


"Well, where's my room?"


Wang Zhao was stunned to see Xiao Shuxiang's attitude which quickly changed. Previously this young man was so worried about Ling Qing Zhu and did not want the girl to room with Liu Wei Lin, but now it was the opposite.


Zhi Shu felt the same way. "Somehow I'm so upset with you, Brother Xiao."


Xiao Shuxiang felt a strange look from his friends. He innocently said, "What? Whahuh? The White Cat said he'd see me later. So I'm just waiting for him, yeah,"


Lan Guan Zhi was breathing slowly, "........ You're shameless,"


"Lan Zhi's...!"


"Young Master Xiao, you should have restrained Miss Ling or at least-spoken something before you split up." Mo Huai could not stand it anymore and said, "Miss Ling has given you a chance just now. It should be when he rubs your head, that you hold his hand and hug him. This time you need to be taught?"


Xiao Shuxiang gasped at Mo Huai's words, he now understood the meaning of Wang Zhao, Zhi Shu and Lan Guan Zhi's gazes.


Xiao Shuxiang patted his forehead, "Geez. So anyway...? Ahhh, tsk. Shit, why am I unconscious? I've wasted the opportunity. Aiii.... You stupid, you bitch."


Zhi Shu exhaled, "Brother Xiao. You need to learn a lot about how to be romantic. Learn from Mo Huai,"


Mo Huai gasped and nervously said, "Miss Zhi Shu. I-I just know how to say it. I dare not practice it at all,"


"But at least you're better than Brother Xiao,"


Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and gently rubbed his chest, "I think it might be due to the age factor. I certainly can't compare to young people like you,"


Lan Guan Zhi snorted, "Now you're just acting like an old man."


"Lan Guan Zhi, can you not make a fool of me just once?" Xiao Shuxiang followed his good friend as Lan Guan Zhi began to step up.


Wang Zhao sighed and walked behind Lan Guan Zhi. Mo Huai and Zhi Shu also walked along with him.


Zhi Shu knew where Lan Guan Zhi was going to take them. It was a room specially reserved for guests. The room is a large room with two beds in it.
