HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
135 - Shu Zhi

Xiao Shuxiang's limbs were stiff and his throat was dry. He remembered the book belonging to the Butterfly Sect the first time he visited the college.


"Of ...." Xiao Shuxiang gave a pale expression, he tried to calm the murmur that was inside his chest. He took a breath and then shook his head slowly while massaging his forehead. "I .... I want to cry,"


"Brother Xiao, I know you're in shock." Zhi Shu also gave a bad expression, "When I heard about this-I was similarly shocked by you. Not only me, but also Jing's brother, Hou Yong and our other brothers were surprised. Ro Wei fell into a limp so unreliable."


"You don't understand..." Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his face and began to give an explanation to Zhi Shu. "If the book is like my shadow, then most likely the content of the book contains not just one chapter but perhaps the complete Book of the Sun Killer."


Zhi Shu was shocked to hear that. This time it was his flabbergasted turn, "Sa-Brother Xiao... I-you mean the-"


"Have you never thought about it?" Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his face and clucked, "I'm really upset. I don't know who the peanut seller is.... Hiya... When all men risk their lives to get a piece of the book - he has sinlessly made the pages of the book as..."


Xiao Shuxiang shook his head, he was unable to continue his words. "really! Whoever he is, he's so outrageous! His actions that knew nothing about the book were like a baby given a pile of gold. He did not understand the price of the thing he was holding, at all,"


"Don't not understand, Brother..." Zhi Shu scratched his head slowly and smiled bitterly, "The uncle can't even read,"


Zhi Shu looked at Xiao Shuxiang in surprise as he patted his forehead. He had already predicted the reaction of this brother and it was a bit uneasy to go further on the seller.


Xiao Shuxiang took a deep breath and then asked the beautiful girl beside him, "May I see the book sheet you have?"


"Surely, briefly..."


Xiao Shuxiang watched Zhi Shu and froze when this girl nearby instead opened up next to her shoes. He stuttered, "Zhi-Zhi Shu! Ja-don't tell me you kept it in-Yes God! Why do I have such an insane brother?!"


"Brother Xiao, you don't say that." Zhi Shu protested and finally managed to pull out a thin book folded from inside his shoes.


Xiao Shuxiang was so pale, "How could you put it there? Can you wear a Spatial Ring or keep it in your sleeve? Why are you doing such a shocking thing?!"


"Brother Xiao, you don't seem to understand..." Zhi Shu explained, "Cultivators in general often ransack opponents' bodies to retrieve their valuables. But they often forget to check the legs. Of course I don't expect anything bad to come my way, but it's good to prepare for the possibilities that could happen."


"And you chose to wear shoes as your storage?"


Zhi Shu pursed her lips and as if timidly replied. That action made Xiao Shuxiang shake his head again and finally let out a sigh of resignation.


"Brother Xiao, do you want to see him or not? Here," Zhi Shu handed the old book she was holding and frowned when she saw the ogre-looking Xiao Shuxiang grabbing the thing in her hand.


"Brother," Zhi Shu puffed her cheeks, "My feet don't smell at all. I'm a cleaning guy, you know. You're such a bitch..."


"Did I say something, huh?"


"You're so good at tongue-licking," Zhi Shu exhaled and shook her head softly. He gave up, could no longer argue with his Brother Xiao.


Xiao Shuxiang himself began to open the book that Zhi Shu had given him. The book containing these three pieces of writing again made his heart throb pain. He also began to pay close attention to every writing on the pages of the book.


Zhi Shu looked at his brother and said, "While the cover of the book looks old, every single sheet in it is completely age-free. The paper would not even be anything when it was exposed to water, moreover it also could not be burned inside the fire. Awesome, right?"


"How did you know?"


"To test whether it was the Book of the Sun Killer, I and the other brothers tried to destroy it. After giving up, we took him to be examined by the patriarchs of the Sky Sword Sect. That's why I know--uh!" Zhi Shu was shocked because his head was hit by a book by his Brother Xiao. Although not sick, but he spontaneously moaned.


"Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you?!" Zhi Shu pouted.


"What are you doing?" Xiao Shuxiang murmured, "You should first bring this thing to be examined by the patriach, not even-Haah... Oh my goodness."


Xiao Shuxiang let out a heavy sigh and shook his head slowly, he looked up at the sky. "Can't I have a normal brother? What's wrong with these kids?! Haaa... Oh God. I really want to split a big rock and put them in it."


"You can't do that, Brother Xiao..!" Zhi Shu spontaneously withdrew Xiao Shuxiang's hand. He was just about to ask that the young man pull his words, but due to his spontaneous movements - unexpected things happened.


Zhi Shu was shocked when Xiao Shuxiang nearly fell down, he held his brother firmly and ended up hugging. He almost had trouble arranging his sitting position.


"Zhi Shu, you're so late." Xiao Shuxiang let go of his involuntary embrace and rubbed his right arm.


"I was unintentional..." Zhi Shu was not to blame, "Look. My shoes even fell for saving you,"


"You are the one who pulled me first," Xiao Shuxiang also did not want to be blamed. He without a cue directly gave the book in his hand to Zhi Shu and then jumped down from the roof.


The Zhi Shu who could do nothing only seemed to frown and caught up with Xiao Shuxiang descending. He took back his shoes that had fallen off earlier and put them on. The book in his hand was even stored in the same way as before.


Xiao Shuxiang noticed Zhi Shu and was just about to speak when he suddenly heard a rustling sound. He spontaneously turned his head and stared intently at the grove of trees.


Zhi Shu also heard. He gave a serious expression and looked at the trees. He had even prepared to carry out an attack if the foreign voice was the enemy.


!?


Xiao Shuxiang blinked. The woman he saw was not only her messy white clothes, but also her hair. The face that looked like a heavy drunk would not even be forgotten. Xiao Shuxiang was clearly very familiar with the figure.


"Chairman Meng?"


"Mn?" Zhi Shu turned his head, "Brother Xiao? You knew her?"


"He's one of the elders of the Cloud Sea Sect," Xiao Shuxiang unhesitatingly started walking over to the drunk woman who was followed by Zhi Shu.


"Chairman Meng? What are you doing here?" Xiao Shuxiang directly asked without saluting first. He was very different from Zhi Shu who put both hands together and then bowed respectfully.


This drunk woman who was in front of Xiao Shuxiang was none other than Meng Hao Niang. The Jin Cheng Peak Mountain Elder seemed to be squinting and was so attentive to the figure who asked him without any courtesy at all.


"Who .... You're this?"


Xiao Shuxiang gasped at the words of the woman in front of him. He snorted and said, "You don't recognize me? We've met tofu,"


"Hm... What's..." Elder Meng Hao Niang pointed at the figure of the foreign youth in front of him and said, "Do I always have to remember the name of anyone I meet, huh? Are you such an important person that I should remember you?! Move aside! You .... Block my path,"


Zhi Shu was stunned as Elder Meng Hao Niang simply pushed through the air like he had pushed people to shift to the side. He also saw the woman walking in the middle between herself and her Brother Xiao.


Elder Meng Hao Niang stumbled again and it was shocking. It was just that Xiao Shuxiang moved in time grabbing the woman's arm until Elder Meng Hao Niang did not fall down.


"Geez, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Shuxiang was actually shocked to see this behavior of Jin Cheng's Peak Mountain Elder. "You're so drunk. You better go and rest. You can't even walk right,"


"Keep your hands away," Elder Meng Hao Niang's voice was like one who was rummaging, "I want to go fill up my wine jug. Away, you... Both. You guys go and have fun somewhere else,"


"Frauding?" Zhi Shu blinked, "We don't do that kind of thing."


"Hmph, I'm drunk... But not blind. I see you guys hugging up there," Elder Meng Hao Niang brushed off Xiao Shuxiang's hand. He then scratched his head and said, "If you want to double cultivate, then go somewhere else. You guys don't do that in open space. Haay... The boy today is.... There's no shame."


"Hey," Xiao Shuxiang was startled and then protested, "Who would want to do that, huh? I am married and he is my brother. Zhi Shu is by no means my wife,"


"That's right. We are brothers and sisters, so where is it possible to do indecent things," Zhi Shu nodded in agreement.


Elder Meng Hao Niang turned his head and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Zhi Shu. He turned his attention to the young man who was nearby before returning to his voice.


Elder Meng Hao Niang said, "So... You're cheating on your wife's back?"


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, "Away! I didn't do that at all."


"Who .... Your name?" Elder Meng Hao Niang asked and made the young man in front of him sigh.


"My name is 'Shuxiang', my margaku 'Xiao'."


"Little Reliability," Elder Meng Hao Niang waved his index finger in front of Xiao Shuxiang and said, "If you're married... You need to set boundaries with other girls, whether it's your friends or your brothers and sisters."


Elder Meng Hao Niang continued, "There is no prohibition for you to be close to women, but you must also be aware of your responsibilities. You now have two hearts to guard, one is your own and the other is yours. Let no heart turn away and hurt another heart,"


Zhi Shu was stunned as Elder Meng Hao Niang pointed at the chest of his Brother Xiao before stepping away. He blinked a few times and would only talk when his brother first made a sound.


"I'm impressed," Xiao Shuxiang looked straight at the drunk woman and then turned his head towards Zhi Shu. He innocently asked, "Do you know when I unpacked the belly of the White Cat and took her heart? I remember never doing that,"


"Brother Xiao..!" Zhi Shu slapped hard on his brother's arm even to the point of pinching him in a frenzy. "You're not kidding me..! Elder Meng meant nothing like that! Oh my, you're such a bitch!"


Xiao Shuxiang smiled despite feeling the heat and pain in his arm due to Zhi Shu's slap. He said, "Elder Meng talked about 'heart' earlier, so what can I do other than remember the internal organs. Did I speak wrong?"


Zhi Shu lost again. His cheeks bubbled back up as he felt that his Brother Xiao could not be argued. She wanted to tie Xiao Shuxiang up and hide him somewhere. This brother of his is upsetting though, but his smile is very alluring. His heart was really not strong enough to withstand the charm.


"By the way, where did Elder Meng go?" Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his chin. He cared for a while before returning to say, "Yeah... Whatever. Elder Meng going any place is none of my business,"


Zhi Shu's expression looked bad, her lips twitched and she started to make a sound. "Brother Xiao, I now want to split the stone and put you in it."


"That's what I said?" Xiao Shuxiang looked at Zhi Shu.


They were silent for a moment, snorting before finally laughing. Absolutely no one knew how exactly the two people's relationship was, but when he looked carefully - Xiao Shuxiang and Zhi Shu really looked like brothers.


"Brother Xiao," Zhi Shu suddenly spoke. "Do you want to go on a date with me?"


"What?" Xiao Shuxiang flinched.
