HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
184 - Crazy Beggar Boy (2)

"Crazy Beggar, are you sure this is the right place?" Yi Wen looked around and this place was really like it was not a human residential location.

He and the Crazy Beggar Boy were in the middle of a forest whose tree was filled with creeping roots and moss. This place was very humid and not the same as the forest that Yi Wen used to visit.

"I .... Feeling that this was a former swamp forest or something." Yi Wen shuddered as his shoes stepped on the sticky moss. "WELL..! I don't want to be here..! This place is so dirty!"

"You can keep quiet?" The Mad Beggar Boy knocked Yi Wen on the head with his bamboo stick and made the girl moan.

The Mad Beggar Boy said, "This is the Peat Forest and this is indeed a swamp area. So stop complaining,"

"Dark... Sssh." Yi Wen rubbed his head and looked sullen. He cursed, "Have you never been taught manners? You're oppressing women, that includes crime know..!"

"Who? Who's the 'woman' here? I just saw a female demon in front of me." The Crazy Beggar Boy did not want to lose. He made Yi Wen freeze to the brunt.

Without a care, the Mad Beggar Boy walked over first and left Yi Wen still speechless. The girl started to clench her hands, she looked annoyed.

"The Crazy Beggar..! You're so outrageous..!" Yi Wen grumbled as he followed the Crazy Beggar Boy. He did not accept this annoying man's attitude.

"Are your eyes just a display? How can you not see me as a 'woman'? I don't accept-kyaa-!" Yi Wen was shocked that a frog had jumped over his shoes. "Crazy Beggar..!"

"You are so noisy!!" The Mad Beggar Boy was about to snap when suddenly his back was hugged from behind. He was obviously very surprised. "Yi Wen's...!"

"I'm scared..!"

The forehead of the Mad Beggar Boy throbbed and he let go of Yi Wen's embrace. He looked at the girl and said, "You're not afraid of killing humans, but you're just afraid of a small matter?!"

"Can't a person have their own fear? I hate dirty, filthy places and the smell of tofu..!"

The Mad Beggar Boy exhaled, "No longer arguing with you. I give up, you're a bitch."

"Crazy Beggar, wait..!"

The longer he walked, Yi Wen began to see some hut houses that looked almost collapsed. This place was even more hunted than the old houses on the Path of Beggars, the residence of the Mad Beggar Boy before they lived on the mountain.

"Where are we really?" Yi Wen asked in a soft tone of voice. He's acting normal again.

"Secte of the Valley of Heavenly Light," the Mad Beggar Boy replied as he looked around and looked for someone, anyone who could be greeted.

Yi Wen muttered, "The Sect of the Valley of Heavenly Light.... It's a great name for a shabby place like your home. Is this your sect?"

"No. But I studied here ...."

Yi Wen frowned, "Aren't you alive for so long? Why are you able to get to know this sect and even still know its location?"

"Haaahs... This kid." The Mad Beggar Boy shook his head slowly and turned his head for a moment towards Yi Wen before replying. "I've lived a long time, but not senile. And again, whenever the Upper Cultivation Realm is opened-I often get an invitation."

Yi Wen snorted, "So that's why you can also take me up to this realm? But--"

"Later you'll know. Come,"

Yi Wen quickened his pace and followed the Crazy Beggar Boy. He looked around at the various old huts around him and was curious as to where the inhabitants of each of these huts were.

Just about to ask, Yi Wen's forehead shriveled as he smelled an unpleasant smell and heard an unfamiliar voice.

Yi Wen looked for him and gasped as he looked up. There were two men in old clothes full of twitching who were tipping over in the air, right on top of it. He was shocked by that.

!!

Even the Crazy Beggar Boy gasped. He saw two men treading on the ground and instantly unsheathed their bamboo sticks. The faces of the two men were dirty and their bodies were full of unpleasant odors.

"Who are you?!" one of the men exclaimed. His face looks unfriendly.

Yi Wen grabbed the Mad Beggar Boy's arm and revealed a plain look in the eyes. With a voice made to tremble, he said. "I'm afraid, gentlemen... Please don't be rude~"

"We don't know you, tell me your names and reasons for coming here..!"

"Just say it or you're dead..!"

Yi Wen blinked. The two men in front of him gave him absolutely no attention. Let alone looking at him, the two people even just unsheathed a bamboo stick towards the Mad Beggar Boy.

"What the hell are these people..." Yi Wen muttered and looked annoyed. He was about to act when his wrist was held by the Mad Beggar Boy.

"Quiet, guys." The Mad Beggar Boy smiled, "It seems like there is a misunderstanding here. I came here because I got this invitation,"

??

The Mad Beggar Boy took out a scroll he had stored behind his clothes. One of the men with a bamboo stick walked over and took the scroll.

"..............."

"..............."

"How's...?" The Crazy Beggar Boy asked as the two men in front of him only looked at the contents of the scroll and looked at each other without saying anything. Yi Wen even became tense by himself.

One of the men coughed, "Ahem. You guys should wait here. I'll tell this to our leader first. Don't move,"

?!

Yi Wen gasped as one of the men in front of him immediately darted away and the other guarded them while still unsheathing his bamboo staff.

Yi Wen whispered, "Crazy Beggar Boy .... Wasn't the scroll clearly written. The pattern on the scroll is also proof that you gave them the original scroll. Why .... They have to report again?"

"Where do I know, you think I'm a waiter? It's been. Just shut up and wait,"

Yi Wen pursed his lips. He crossed his arms and said, "You cannot cooperate. No sweetness at all,"

"I'm not sugar,"

"Crazy Beggar...! I don't like you..!" Yi Wen really wanted to ruffle the face of this man beside her. The Mad Beggar Boy could not be romantically invited, could not even be spoken to when he was seriously asking. He really did not think this man beside him could live for a very long time.

The tattered-clothed man was actually curious about the foreign figure in front of him. This was the first time she had seen a man who dared to go out of the house with strange makeup stuck to his face. One thing is for sure - this figure is an insane person.

"..............."

Long enough Yi Wen and the Mad Beggar Boy waited until two men were seen floating and then treading gently before them. One of the men appeared to be about 50 years old and was wearing cleaner clothes although in his hand was also a bamboo stick and the only one was dark red.

"Long'Er...!?"

"Chairman Shang,"

Yi Wen was startled because suddenly the old man he saw was talking to each other with the Mad Beggar Boy. He was flabbergasted, especially when the Mad and old-fashioned Beggar Child hugged, greeted each other and was like an old friend who had just met.

Surprisingly, the old rascal was not at all worried about the makeup on the Mad Beggar Boy's face and even recognized the man very well.

"This .... What's the matter, actually?" Yi Wen frowned. He really doesn't know anything.

"Why did you just come? I've sent you a lot of invitations and letters, but you've never returned them at all,"

"I'm sorry, Elder Shang. I once promised never to ascend to the Upper Cultivation Realm again if there was nothing important and I am on a mission right now,"

"Long 'Er. Why did you make such a promise, you're this.." Elder Shang gently struck the Mad Beggar Boy in the chest and then embraced the man.

He rubbed the back of the Crazy Beggar Boy and treated him like a grandson himself. Elder Shan was the same person as the old man that Xiao Shuxiang-Shang Quan Yi had met, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Light Valley Sect.

"Hmm? Who is this Miss? Is she your wife?" Big Elder Shang just saw that there was a beautiful girl here. The question surprised me.

Yi Wen blinked and felt somewhat nervous. He put his hands together and then saluted. Her polite appearance made the Crazy Beggar Boy blink.

The man with the ghostly hanging makeup scratched his non-itchy nose and introduced Yi Wen. He said, "At the moment we're just friends. He used to be called Yi Wen,"

The Crazy Beggar boy then embraced the arm of the Great Elder Shang and instantly switched the conversation. "Chairman Shang, I've been waiting for you for a long time~ My feet are limp walking. You have food, right? I'm so hungry~"

"Haaahs... You're this. Miss Wen, come here." The Great Elder Shang called Yi Wen to let the girl walk with him. He said to the Mad Beggar Boy, "I'm not 'Eld Shang' anymore, but 'Big Elder Shang'. You should be able to distinguish that,"

"Waah~ so now you are already a Great Elder? But I don't want to correct my attitude. So please ya~" the Mad Beggar Boy smiled and tightly embraced the arm of the Great Elder Shang. His actions were indeed impolite and actually provoked the strange look of the two stick men walking behind them.

To Grand Elder Shang himself, he did not protest at all nor was he bothered by this man's behavior. He even smiled and then asked, "How long have we not seen each other. You haven't changed at all,"

"Mh... 10 Years I think,"

"How old are you now?"

"34 Years, that's what I remember. What about the elder?"

Yi Wen gasped at the Crazy Beggar Boy's words regarding his age. He snorted, "Liar."

"You look younger than your age. You have absolutely no change. You still look 23 years old in my eyes,"

"really? Elder Shang also looked unchanged at all. The proof is I can instantly recognize the Elder,"

"I told you to call 'The Great Elder', right?"

"Ha ha ha, sorry. I'm not used to~"

"..............." Yi Wen was simply speechless and noticed the behavior of the Mad Beggar Boy. He felt ignored, let alone the two men behind him not willing to look at him at all.

"Yes for goodness sake .... Are they impotent?" Yi Wen crossed hands and cursed these people inwardly. "You shameful men! You have sinned for ignoring such a beautiful girl..! Ahhh! I hate her! When is this coming to an end?! How regrettable..."

Yi Wen continued to walk after Grand Elder Shang and the Crazy Beggar Boy. He was shocked because in this kind of shabby place there was such a large building and such a clean settlement. Far away from where it came.

Not only that, even Yi Wen was flabbergasted as he walked on a wooden bridge which on both sides was a fish pond with clear water. The air in this place is very fresh and soothing.

Yi Wen was shocked because while circulating his gaze around-he noticed there was a main gate standing firmly. His forehead throbbed as he felt that he had been tricked by the Mad Beggar Boy.

"When there was a better way and he took me through a dirty and smelly place. Is he taking revenge for what I did?!" Yi Wen tried to refrain from pulling and grabbing the hair of this man in front of her.

"The Great Chief Shang..!"

"Big Chief...!"

Yi Wen gasped as he saw several young men who were also each of them carrying bamboo sticks and appeared to be walking towards him and Big Elder Shang.

The Crazy Beggar Boy smiled with that welcome. He felt that Great Elder Shan had become a good leader. Merely, the smile that was painted on the Mad Beggar Boy's face instantly faded away when he noticed one of the Great Elder Shang's disciples.

Without warning, the Mad Beggar Boy directly lunged at one of the disciples and made everyone shocked instead of playing.

!!!

The man who was the target of the Mad Beggar Boy was even very shocked and could not put up a fight. He was pushed back with his neck firmly gripped and only stopped when his back hit a wooden pole.

Uukh..!

"Long 'Er? What are you-"

The sound of groans of pain accompanied by the sound of bone rotten and loud pounding made the speech of the Great Elder Shang come to a halt. Yi Wen even glared when he saw the Mad Beggar Boy kill the man whose neck he had clutched earlier.

!!

The man's body exploded and became a puff of black smoke. Yi Wen involuntarily covered her mouth with her hands because she did not expect the Crazy Beggar Boy to do something like this.

"My arrival was on time ..." The Crazy Beggar Boy turned around and looked towards the Great Elder Shang. He said seriously, "Call all your students. I have to see them all,"

Grand Elder Shang gasped in shock, "Long'Er... What's the matter exactly?"

"That was the 'dead man', Great Elder Shang. Your sect was entered by an intruder who I believe is a member of the Demon Valley Sect."
