HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
16 - Xiao Shuxiang (2)

Ling Qing Zhu was seen walking alone, he had just met his mother and grandmother to re-discuss the matter of sealing the strength of his Guardian Saint.


This decision was heavy and difficult for him to accept despite having heard the approval from Xiao Shuxiang himself.


It was not Ling Qing Zhu who would do the sealing, but instead he was the one who was the most worried. As for Xiao Shuxiang himself, he seemed to be acting ordinary instead.


Previously while together with his Guardian Guard, Ling Qing Zhu had intended to say about his mission that should go to a faraway place to Xiao Shuxiang. But because the young man seemed to have his own problems, he also discouraged talking about it.


Ling Chu Zhen who was together with Xiao Shuxiang right now also knew about Ling Qing Zhu's mission. But he had yet to tell the young man beside him because he felt that this Xiao Shuxiang already knew about it.


The mission was related to the appearance of the Upper Realm that Ling Chu Zhen had talked about while with the Mad Beggar Boy. It is still part of the Human World, but separated by a seal and its place is a Floating Island.


If the Sky Pagoda Sect was the Greatest Sect in the Middle Continent, then the sects that were in the Upper Realm were the biggest. Cultivators who lived there-For a person like Ling Chu Zhen would say it as 'Half Gods'. It was at that place that his true cultivation began.


The placement of a Sect was actually better to be in the mountainous region and away from the lay people as well as disconnected from worldly life. Yet it was precisely the Sky Pagoda Sect standing in the middle of that society's life and in a Great City. This one reason was enough to be the flaws of Ling Chu Zhen's Sect.


"......"


Ling Qing Zhu was already in front of his room. He shifted the door and entered to meet his Guardian Guard.


"Mn..?"


Ling Qing Zhu searched for Xiao Shuxiang's whereabouts, including walking towards the wooden bulkhead. It was just that as he had expected, his Guardian indeed could not be left alone for more than five minutes.


Ling Qing Zhu walked out back. He was about to meet his father when he saw Ling Chu Zhen hovering in the air and treading slowly on the ground. Behind Ling Chu Zhen caught up with Xiao Shuxiang, the two people were somehow able to be together.


Ling Qing Zhu took a breath and stomped his feet slowly, he had a great body lightening technique and looked so graceful as he began to tread gently on the ground, right in front of his father.


"......"


Ling Chu Zhen was speechless, his eyes twinkling softened. Although he had seen Ling Qing Zhu grow up, he still had difficulty overcoming the charm of his beloved daughter.


"White Cat," Xiao Shuxiang greeted Ling Qing Zhu as usual. His actions made Ling Chu Zhen come to a realization. He got a strange eye gaze from that Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect.


"Xiao'Er, don't you see it well? That we talked about,"


Xiao Shuxiang frowned, "Mn..? About what..?"


"Are you insensitive or what?" Ling Chu Zhen exhaled, "... Take a good look at my Qing Zhu'Er. Take a good look..!"


"......"


Ling Qing Zhu did not understand what Ling Chu Zhen meant. But it is seen that his father appears to be serious with his Guardian Guard.


Xiao Shuxiang watched Ling Qing Zhu from top to bottom, but his facial expression did not change much. "The White Cat is beautiful, charming, alluring and I could just put it in a sack right now, tie it up and lock it up for myself."


"Shameful." Ling Qing Zhu was so sniffy. He did not know which direction these two people were talking to, but Xiao Shuxiang's remark just now made him startled. It was just that his facial expression remained like a majestic mountain.


Ling Chu Zhen looked at his daughter-in-law, "That's what I meant. My Qing Zhu'Er has a strong allure. But why do you still look so ordinary? Don't you feel... Is your face warming up or is your chest tight?"


"Dad," Ling Qing Zhu wanted to call Ling Chu Zhen shameless.


She was already used to treating Xiao Shuxiang who treated her like an ordinary girl and it made her comfortable talking while with her Guardian Protector. But his father wanted to make Xiao Shuxiang take good care of himself.


Ling Qing Zhu realized that his Guardian was looking at him in silence. He was very nervous now and his hand started to stretch out reaching for the hilt of his sword which was at the waist.


'Baiyi' is a flexible sword that he can use as a belt. He intended to eliminate it if this condition threatened him.


"Father-in-Law, I'm not in the mood to research and admire the beauty of my White Cat." Xiao Shuxiang smiled amiably, his tone of voice completely unchanged.


He clearly has strong self-control. For him, treat gently and well who is always able to make him pound.


Ling Qing Zhu was relieved by it, His Guardian was indeed an unusual young man. It was hard to find a person like Xiao Shuxiang. A figure that is not only amazing, but also difficult to guess.


Xiao Shuxiang looked at Ling Qing Zhu, "What about the sealing? Are you guys done with everything?"


"Mrs. I went to see mom. Now it was only necessary to wait for the other sect elders to attend."


Ling Chu Zhen exhaled, his wife and mother could indeed be said to be the most eager person to suggest sealing would be the strength of Xiao Shuxiang.


Ling Chu Zhen, "Xiao Er... Shouldn't you talk about this to your father, mother and grandfather, or your teacher before deciding? I don't want them to think you're getting unfair treatment in this place."


Ling Chu Zhen's worries were indeed reasonable and Xiao Shuxiang liked that, "Dad. You just calm down. Both my parents, including my grandfather and teacher, trusted me deeply. What you're doing is a good thing, so there's no reason to hesitate anymore."


He put his hands together and paid his respects to Ling Chu Zhen.


When he was inside the room and was about to close the door-Xiao Shuxiang saw that Ling Chu Zhen and Ling Qing Zhu were silent and still wanted to talk to him. It's just that he doesn't want to talk about anything anymore.


The expression on Xiao Shuxiang's face turned cold as the door of his room closed. The young man exhaled and stiffened himself.


"Hu Li..!"


When Xiao Shuxiang called out that name. Suddenly a flash of light appeared and a white-clothed figure was seen kneeling behind him. Those pretty white lines and curves belonged to a young man.


"Young Master Xiao,"


Hu Li had white hair. He was a fox-shaped Demonic Beast that currently looked like a 17-year-old. His posture and face were still the same as before.


Xiao Shuxiang turned around, he saw Hu Li kneeling. "Stand up and give me your right hand,"


Hu Li said, he was alone and not with O Zhan. His sister was staying with Lan Xiao in the Sky Sword Sect that was in the Eastern Continent. Xiao Qing Yan stayed there and studied under Lan Guan Zhi.


Xiao Shuxiang grabbed Hu Li's wrist. An ancient golden-coloured carving moved from behind Xiao Shuxiang--clothed clothes to the back of his hand and moved to Hu Li's hand slowly.


Xiao Shuxiang began to speak, "Since the war with the Blood Skull Party and faced Qian Kun... I haven't completed Elder Da Lin's granting mission. He wanted to be buried in his homeland. Even the Black Cat had not yet returned to his house.."


Hu Li knew that this moving ancient inscription was the form of the Universal Bracelet belonging to his Young Master Xiao. A vast world and the most precious treasure to the point of being extremely priceless.


"Young Master, you previously had the Soul Restraint Seal and the gift seal from the Mad Beggar Boy. If you agree to this sealing, I can't imagine a decrease from your strength."


"Hu Li's. That's why I left my Semest Bracelet to you. You are my most loyal follower. I don't know if I can still enter this Universal Bracelet or take out any objects within it after sealing. And just in case of what might happen, I need you so much."


"I understand."


"Although I know that it is not yet time for the Black Cat to return to her homeland, but there is still a possibility that the child will want to go home. So if he asks, then you have to help him."


"Is this also about burying Elder Da Lin's coffin?"


"I remember never telling him that the coffin belonged to his grandfather..."


!!


The bracelet of the Universe has changed hands.


Hu Li's right arm was warm, but not so with his expression containing shock. "Young Master Xiao? So until now Miss Qing Yan... Don't know?"


"yeah. I actually heavily removed the coffin," Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his chin. "Old Bangka's corpse is too dear to bury. And again, the land in the Southern Continent has changed - but we know that it still seals the sleeping demons. I'm not very willing to let go,"


"Young Master Xiao, you didn't think of resurrecting Elder Da Lin's corpse and making him your follower, did you?" Hu Li was suspicious.


"Just calm down, Hu Li. I am not interested at the moment. More important issues are approaching. We just need to focus on that one..."


Xiao Shuxiang remained calm, "... After sealing it my strength will weaken, so for the next time guarding my life is your duty."


"Young Master Xiao, aren't the man-made seals working on you?"


"I don't know about the seal that the White Cat spoke of and nor am I trying to dig up the information too deeply. After all, the one who would be so frustrated when he knew my power was sealed was not me--but Qian Kun. He's the most obsessed creature to make me stronger. I don't even need to look for it, he will definitely try to remove the seal. Hmph, I'm wondering how she'll react,"


!!


Hu Li was surprised, "The risk you take is too great, Young Master.."


"Mrs. I-i know. But uncontrolled strength is also not good. I wanted to be strong to destroy the world. Now it's... I want to be weak to play around with humans. Just look, what mess I'm going to cause."


"Young Master? Now...?"


"Mh.. What do you think, Hu Li? When I become weak, what do you think I can do?"


"Ehm... A kindness?"


"Ha ha ha, go. When I need it, I'll call you later." Xiao Shuxiang shook his head, he looked too highly at Hu Li.


That White Fox Demonic Beast despite having lived a long life with him in the past, yet Hu Li was still very innocent and naive. He felt sorry for his friend.
