HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]

HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
17 - Sealing

The atmosphere when it was nighttime in the Sky Pagoda Sect was actually so beautiful. Yet none of those beauties were currently able to attract the attention of Xiao Shuxiang. 


The young man who was now dressed in white was already too tense to dare to enjoy the calm atmosphere of the night.


Although he had made up his mind, but did not deny the fact that he was nervous and his heart was pounding - it felt even worse than during the wedding ceremony.


"......"


Ling Qing Zhu walked beside Xiao Shuxiang. He momentarily turned his head to pay attention to his Guardian Protector.


The look on the face of this young man was calm and full of authoritative aura. He felt that the young man walking beside him had already turned into an adult.


"Shuxiang..."


!!


Xiao Shuxiang felt his heart had already jumped out of his ear. The voice of the girl beside him was indeed delicate and gentle, but because Ling Qing Zhu suddenly spoke... It became very surprising.


"Mn?" Xiao Shuxiang tried to calm down. As a true man, abstain from showing any weakness.


"May I ask you something...?"


"certain. Just say it," Xiao Shuxiang was astonished by his White Cat. It was not usual for Ling Qing Zhu to take the initiative to talk like this.


"How old are you really?"


"......"


Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and then shook his head. "It's like that I don't know how to answer you," he crossed his arms and seemed to think.


Xiao Shuxiang then asked, "You're asking about which age?"


"Really. Your real age."


"......"


Somehow Ling Qing Zhu brought this up. Xiao Shuxiang himself did not want to remember anything that was not so important. "Mh... You ask, of course I like it. But if this problem... I'm not sure I can give you a definitive answer.


"......" Ling Qing Zhu listened.


"If the age in this life... I guess 23. But for how long have I lived in the Human World... Mm.. I think a thousand more. I don't know, I don't really remember my previous life."


"Mn, assume you're over a thousand years old. Have you ever been married before?"


Xiao Shuxiang blinked, he became curious about the contents of his White Cat's head. "I can confirm that one to you. Never even in a dream did I think of girls or some kind of marriage and so on. At 7 years old, all I thought about was being strong. At 14 years old, all I thought about was how to level one village. At 17, I was thinking about how to kill other than slashing my neck. At the age of 18, I became interested in the internal organs and the sound of screams. Then the next is how to destroy the world. There is absolutely nothing about marriage or building a household in it. Haaah.. I'm amazing."


"......" Ling Qing Zhu was stunned. He was really impressed because his Guardian Master very frankly said all those things.


"So, you take it easy..." Xiao Shuxiang smiled and patted his White Cat's back gently, "... In the life I have been living.. You're not the first girl I like. But you were the first girl to marry me."


Ling Qing Zhu looked at Xiao Shuxiang, the young man's hands began to rub his back slowly. He continued to stare and began to feel strange, he finally could not stand it anymore and then said, "Shuxiang. You're free to talk, but your hands don't put them in any place."


"ah! Bad-handed bottom," Xiao Shuxiang clapped his hand and looked the other way. He got a snort from the thin veiled girl beside him.


Ling Qing Zhu continued walking beside his Guardian Guard. Both of them came to an open room. Inside the room was a red circle with moonlight illuminating it.


The room did not look scary, but the atmosphere was extremely cold and ended tensely when Xiao Shuxiang stepped in.


There were about 12 people in the room, they were the elders of every middle and large sect of the three streams.


The 12 cultivators were in a position that surrounded the ancient carved circle.


Xiao Shuxiang circulated a glance around.


He could see a large man dressed in black with a dignified aura, an old man dressed in white and holding a wooden stick.


He also saw there was a woman with closed eyes that reminded him of one of the Patriarchs of the Sky Sword Sect.


Ling Chu Zhen was also among the 12 cultivators. His eyes softened as he called Xiao Shuxiang closer.


"......"


Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and started walking towards Ling Chu Zhen. Meanwhile, his White Cat went to the place where Ling Lang Tian and the Patriarchs of the various sects were.


Actually, the Alchemist Chef knew that other than the 12 Elders... In this room were also present the patriarchs of the various Third Stream Sects. Only, he paid more attention to the elders as well as the strange circle he saw.


"So this is Xiao Shuxiang? He looked younger than I imagined," a bearded and thick-moustached man appeared to be speaking, his voice friendly. He paid his respects to Xiao Shuxiang who was reciprocated as well with the same treatment by that Alchemist Chef.


Honestly speaking to the elders of the third sect of the flow-this was the second time they cooperated. The first incident was when forming an alliance for the sake of fighting the Skull Sword Party and the Blood Scarlet.


"Xiao Shuxiang." one of the elders said slowly, "... I've heard a lot about you. You really impressed me,"


"......"


Ling Lang Tian watched every elder who spoke to Xiao Shuxiang.


None of them introduced themselves or his sect before speaking to his sister's Guardian. Even Ling Chu Zhen did not introduce the elders of any of the Third Stream Sects.


Ling Qing Zhu, "Sister..."


"You're aware of that too?"


"Mrs,"


"They suspect Shuxiang is the mastermind behind the massacre. And the fact that we know that he is a descendant of demonic monsters, of course they will give him a low view. Too low, not even worth knowing their names."


"Sister, but Shuxiang is not a descendant of a demonic monster."


"But that's what they believe."


!!


Ling Qing Zhu tightly clenched both of his hands. He stared coldly at Ling Lang Tian. His tone trembled as he said, "Sister... This sealing isn't your plan to kill... My guardian, isn't he?"


"Do you see where the elders stand? I helped make the seal. If any of them had any malicious intentions towards Shuxiang... Without a doubt I will kill him. Even if it threatens our sect it must be leveled,"


"Sister..."


"Let Shuxiang however be my sister-in-law. So as long as he's in this sect, I won't let anything bad happen to him."


Ling Qing Zhu nodded slowly. Although Ling Lang Tian looked cold and sniffy, yet he was a man who always held onto his words. He believed in his brother completely.


Ling Qing Zhu's gaze was now directed at his Guardian Guard. Xiao Shuxiang was already standing in the middle of the circle and the process of sealing the young man's strength began.


The atmosphere around him also changed.


Xiao Shuxiang had previously been asked to take off her clothes. He had skin as smooth as a lotus, yet with strong shoulders, was wild and contained hidden strength. He was not very muscular, but his body shape was sculpted evenly and looked like white jade in a blanket of moonlight.


Ling Lang Tian without turning his head-he reached out and closed his sister's eyes, "I don't know if this sealing process should make her undress. But even if it's just the top, you still shouldn't look at it for long."


"Sister..." Ling Qing Zhu though was surprised by Ling Lang Tian's actions, but did not try to get rid of the hand that covered this view.


The 12 Elders began to take out a hand seal. An elder who had first condensed his water-elemental spiritual energy and started to surround Xiao Shuxiang's body.


"Focus, kid! You don't fight!"


Xiao Shuxiang nodded slowly and exhaled. He slowly closed his eyes, trying to concentrate. He could feel a stream of water that was like it was piercing through his skin.


The other two elders had also finished with their hand seals and started to hurl spiritual energy towards Xiao Shuxiang. The energy of both of them is equal to the fire element, only with different colors. It was a kind of green and red fire.


!!


Xiao Shuxiang this time felt the blood inside his body boiling and his bones were like they were being burned.


Sweat spots formed and poured on his cheeks and neck, but he was still able to endure this pain.
