HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
188 - Cloud Sea Sect (2)

Xiao Shuxiang looked so hard-working. He not only studied the Sun Killer Book section that was on him, but also wrote down his body fit if he insisted on studying the book.

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

During this time, Xiao Shuxiang had never looked seriously studied. He was the one who made brushes, inks, and books as 'Natural Enemies'. Hence, it was a rare occurrence for the young man to sit quietly while moving his brush.

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

There was no need to look at Xiao Shuxiang's handwriting. The people closest to him had long given up reading the handwriting and were already deterred from giving advice. Xiao Shuxiang's handwriting, both past and present-had not progressed toward 'good' in the slightest. Badly, the Guardian Protector of Ling Qing Zhu even hailed his own handwriting as the most beautiful ever.

One person who might still be able to see every brush stroke that Xiao Shuxiang had to date was Lan Guan Zhi. He was the only one willing to spend time sitting down and looking at the writing that was said to be 'beautiful' by his good friend.

This did not mean Lan Guan Zhi was not sane to the point of wanting to torture the eyes. He chose the right choice. Of course, instead of listening to Xiao Shuxiang's discordant, donkey-like flute - Lan Guan Zhi preferred to wrestle with the handwriting of his friend. Clearly, he would only judge from the thick brush strokes of Xiao Shuxiang, there was no need until he read them. Genius.

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

Indeed, if viewed carefully. Xiao Shuxiang's writing was like a bear teaching a praying mantis to write, but it was different from painting. The human body image painted by Xiao Shuxiang was so incredible that it gave people goosebumps to see it.

Xiao Shuxiang was not dislike learning, he was just a picky person. The book he liked was a book about poisonous plants and herbs even though this kind of book was rarely found.

"......... Spirit and Resurrection," Xiao Shuxiang muttered. "Mh... These tastes were somewhat similar to the Spirit Taming Spell from the jade slip I had obtained from the auction back then. If combined .... What about the body with my practice that can now accept it,"

"Too risky, sir."

"Mh... It was indeed too risky," Xiao Shuxiang paused for a moment and focused on his handwriting. He was thinking and then started to say slowly, "Maybe .... I can fix this a little bit and make it fit for me to learn-!"

Xiao Shuxiang gasped when he heard the sound of knocking on the door. He even spontaneously closed the book while looking at the origin of the voice.

"........... Shuxiang,"

Xiao Shuxiang blinked, that delicate voice belonged to Ling Qing Zhu. He then walked closer to the closed door. His little friend flew up and followed him from behind.

'White Cat ....' Xiao Shuxiang was breathing slowly. He did not know how many times Ling Qing Zhu had come and knocked on the door of his room. The problem for now, he really could not open the door for the beautiful girl, despite being so eager.

"......... Shuxiang?"

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

Xiao Shuxiang did not reply and just stood quietly behind the door of his room. The silence of the young man had clearly made anyone feel anxious and uncomfortable. Moreover, Xiao Shuxiang had all along been famous as an active youth and 'Very Fussy'.

"You okay?" Ling Qing Zhu asked back. His voice was calm and his facial expression did not change. But his eyes were not as usual. Of course, she was not a girl with no heart. He was worried about his Guardian Guard.

".......... Mm,"

Ling Qing Zhu who was outside the room could hear Xiao Shuxiang's slow muttering. He felt uneasy because his Guardian still gave the same answer.

"Trialize the food" Ling Qing Zhu said. He had previously been here with Lan Guan Zhi with Mo Huai, but he came back again.

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

"Shuxiang?"

"......... No need to bother, White Cat. Just bring it back,"

Ling Qing Zhu gasped, the voice he heard was very slow and somewhat like a shrill. He said, "I made dumplings for you..."

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

"You don't want to eat?"

"......... Just put it there,"

Ling Qing Zhu took a breath and then said, "When do you want to go out...? It's not good to keep shutting yourself up like this,"

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

Xiao Shuxiang who was inside his room did not reply to Ling Qing Zhu's remark. The young man stood up while trying to resist from laughing. He even closed his mouth a few times and tried to express himself as grievously as possible.

"Shuxiangis...."

'I can't help it, ' Xiao Shuxiang covered his nose and then muttered, "........ Mm."

"You really don't want to go out?"

'No. I'll teach you a little lesson. Who told you to be so cold to me all this time, Xiao Shuxiang replied inwardly and was of course unknown to Ling Qing Zhu.

"Shuxiang?"

"......... Mm,"

"You still don't want to go out..?" Ling Qing Zhu did not know what to say anymore. He had repeatedly persuaded his Guardian Guard, yet the young man had never been willing to come out of the room.

"......... Leave me alone,"

Ling Qing Zhu blinked, his eyes slightly saddened. He took a breath and then said slowly, "I know you are sad because of your sword. But don't torture yourself like this. At least let's get out. We can talk,"

Xiao Shuxiang who was inside the room looked surprised. He blinked a few times and seemed to be in disbelief with what he had just heard.

'White Cat ..... How many words did he say just now?! Incredibly, Xiao Shuxiang looked amazed. He seriously listened to Ling Qing Zhu speak.

"Young Master Lan misses you..."

!

Xiao Shuxiang almost tripped on his own foot. He gasped at Ling Qing Zhu's words just now. He's cursed now.

'Oh my goodness, White Cat. Why are you even talking about Lan Zhi?! You should say, 'I miss you.' not even-'

"I ....."

Xiao Shuxiang flinched back and waited. He did not expect there was still a continuation of the speech of the beautiful girl behind the door of his room. His feeling is a bit fluttering right now.

Xiao Shuxiang waited and if what he wanted to hear was really said by Ling Qing Zhu-himself would really open the door and directly hug the girl.

"I ....."

'You're what? Whahuh? Don't hang me like this. Just tell me, I'm ready'

"I put your food here,"

!!!

The sound of impact rang out loud and made Ling Qing Zhu startled. He tried to open the door of his Guardian Guard room but could not, this door had been sealed.

"Shuxiang, what's wrong with you?"

"....... Go awayl. I don't want to be disturbed right now. I want to be alone,"

"..............." Ling Qing Zhu blinked. The Guardian's voice was heard softly and there was a possibility that the young man was crying. He had never felt this shaken before. He also breathed slowly and placed the food in front of Xiao Shuxiang's door.

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

Inside the room, Xiao Shuxiang was seen rubbing his reddened forehead from being hit by the door. He also looks shaken, but for other problems.

"Yes God. What wife did you give me? Why is the White Cat so insensitive..? Is it hard to say, 'I Miss You'? Haaah my goodness. She has no sweet side at all,"

"Sir...?"

"I'm heartbroken. I just got heartbroken, Little Friend .... That girl..." Xiao Shuxiang was annoyed to the point of wanting to cry. "Women have hearts or not? Her... Haaa .... I can't even say it,"

Xiao Shuxiang shook his head slowly. She opened the door when she was sure there was no one outside her room. He had food that Ling Qing Zhu had placed and re-sealed the door of his room.

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

Xiao Shuxiang did not know that Ling Qing Zhu actually wanted to say that he felt somewhat 'lonely'. But just now the word was about to be spoken-Ling Qing Zhu suddenly became ashamed of herself and decided to replace it with a word that made Xiao Shuxiang's forehead bump.

In the forest region of the Cloud Sea Sect was seen the Crazy Beggar Boy who set his foot on a tree trunk before darting back. Yi Wen followed behind him.

"Crazy Beggar, do you think my Brother Xiao is in the Cloud Sea Sect?" Yi Wen asked as she tried to catch her breath. He was a bit exhausted from having travelled this far and rarely had any rest.

"The Crazy Beggar..! Answer when I ask you," Yi Wen exclaimed.

"Xiao Shuxiang must be in the Cloud Sea Sect, my premonition is never wrong. You don't ask any more questions and just speed up your steps."

Yi Wen pursed his lips, but still followed the Crazy Beggar Boy. They indeed had to meet Xiao Shuxiang before the great elder of the Heavenly Light Valley Sect and the great elder of the Thousand Sword Palace came here.

Yi Wen frowned as he began to look at the front gate of the Cloud Sea Sect. He said, "Are there really no protective seals covering the sect? Isn't the seal important so that no one can enter it carelessly?"

"..............." The Crazy Beggar Boy also realized that and started treading down. He could smell different blood vessels, but it was very faint.

The Mad Beggar Boy gasped when he started to realize something. "The Cloud Sea Sect also took part in being part of the Eternal Alliance Conference, so it might-"

"A infiltrator has entered the sect?" Yi Wen interjected and made the Crazy Beggar Boy turn his head towards him.

"I smell a lot of blood ...." The Mad Beggar Boy said softly and made the girl beside him flinch, "Although cryptic .... But I believe this blood belongs to the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect. Most likely this sect was once attacked,"

"You want to say that the attack was the work of the Demon Valley Sect again?" Yi Wen crossed hands.

"Isn't it clear?"

Yi Wen gasped as the Crazy Beggar Boy suddenly walked towards the gate of the Cloud Sea Sect. He caught up with the young man and half whispered, "Do we not have to go the other way? What if we were considered intruders?"

"We would be considered an intruder if we went the other way. Already, you trust me."

Yi Wen puffed her cheeks, "Why can I trust a man whose face was covered in flour. You're not sure you know,"

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

The Mad Beggar Boy did not reply and instead approached the Cloud Sea Sect disciples guarding the gate. The two disciples instantly unsheathed their swords.

"Who are you?!" one exclaimed and gave a watchful look.

The Mad Beggar Boy saluted and politely replied, "I am Shang Shen Lng from the Valley of Heavenly Light. My arrival here wants to fulfill the invitation of the Great Elder Dao Fang An,"

?!

Yi Wen was shocked, as well as the two disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect. To Yi Wen, of course he was surprised because the Mad Beggar Boy did not mention the name of his brother Xiao. While the two disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect were shocked because the man with the strange makeup on his face was actually looking for Dao Fang An.

One of the disciples watched the man in front of him from the bottom to the top. He said, "You mentioned your marg name. You this .... What is the relationship with the great elder of the Heavenly Light Valley Sect?"

"G .... He's 'My dad'." The Mad Beggar Boy calmly replied and left the two disciples before him flabbergasted.

One of the students frowned, he said. "I didn't know that the great elder Shang had a child, let alone a son like you."

"I have all this time stayed in the Lower Cultivation Realm, very rarely come here. You may not know, but the great elder Dao knows it."

"We need an identifier that can prove your identity," one of the disciples said loudly and upset Yi Wen.

The good-looking girl was about to launch her action when the Crazy Beggar Boy gestured her not to act rashly.

The Mad Beggar Boy took out a scroll and handed it to one of the disciples guarding the gate of this sect.

Yi Wen was flabbergasted to see it. He blinked a few times and looked towards the young man beside him. In his heart, he was amazed. "Crazy Beggar, you've apparently prepared all this. That's grand..."

Yi Wen really did not expect that the Crazy Beggar Boy even had an invitation from the Great Elder of the Cloud Sea Sect. The proof, the two guard disciples were shocked to see the scroll handed over by the Mad Beggar Boy.

One of the disciples flowed Qi on the scroll which made the name 'Dao Fang An' visible. The symbol of the name of this Great Elder of the Cloud Sea Sect was hard to fake and that was why the disciple was convinced that the scroll in his right hand really belonged to Dao Fang An.

"This scroll is original, but I still have to report it directly to the great elder. You guys wait here,"

"All right, but not for long. I was in such a hurry, "Crazy Beggar Boy hugged the bamboo stick and saw one of the disciples start darting away.

Yi Wen nudged onto the Mad Beggar Boy's arm and asked in a half-spirited voice, "Do you need my help to tease him?"

"Don't make trouble,"

"But we're in a hurry. This is related to the safety of my brother Xiao,"

"Just wait..." The Mad Beggar Boy said, "It won't be long. The old man will definitely come straight here,"

Yi Wen frowned, he seriously asked. "You have many acquaintances in the Upper Cultivation Realm huh... I can't believe it,"

"Hmphs. You think my life was just hanging out in the street selling my ass, huh? Don't mistake. I also have a life story to be proud of,"

Yi Wen shuddered when he heard the Crazy Beggar Boy just now. He was so attentive to this man beside him and felt very curious about some things. Mainly on the behavior of the famous Crazy Beggar Boy 'diverging'.

Yi Wen sighed softly, "It seems .... It takes hard work to turn a guy like you into a 'normal guy'."

"Oh .... Then fight. If you could. I'm going to go straight to your mom and dad to ask them for their blessing,"

"But .... Our age is far away..." Yi Wen puffed his cheeks while staring at the Crazy Beggar Boy. His facial expression looks adorable.

The Crazy Beggar Boy himself seemed to blink and calmly said, "You just calm down. I'm still very 'strong'. Even if you want to, ten 'roundes' a day I can do."

"Crazy Beggar, what are you talking about? It sucks!" Yi Wen had a pale face and then struck the arm of the man beside her. He made the Crazy Beggar Boy flinch.

"Yi Wen! Of course 'it'. You're worried about 'that' because of your age difference with me, right. I'm just making sure of you. I'm still very strong to do it, even if you want it every day-"

"Crazy Beggar..!"
