190 - Weakness

"Pillar of the World ....." Dao Fang An muttered before gently rubbing his chin. He also nodded, "..... So anyway. I really didn't expect to meet a very young World Pillar,"


Dao Fang An smiled and looked at Yi Wen, "My name is Dao Fang An. I am the butler of this sect and am a close friend of Shen Long or a man with a name that cannot be called this."


Yi Wen gasped, she spontaneously asked. "You know the real name of this 'deviating' guy?!"


"Yi Wen," the Mad Beggar Boy rebuked as the girl beside him called out the word 'deviant'. It was just that Yi Wen did not care at all.


"Ha ha ha, so now his deviant behavior is already famous?" Dao Fang An laughed lightly, "You're a great Senior,"


Dao Fang An looked at Yi Wen and said, "I've been friends with Shen Long for a very long time. Of course I know his real name and his other identity. I introduced him to the great elder Shang and persuaded the man to raise Shen Long as a child. Your grandfather also had many acquaintances in this place, especially those from the Holy Star Tower."


"My grandfather ...." Yi Wen blinked a few times and was flabbergasted. It was unexpected that he would hear this inner shaking thing.


Yi Wen was just about to ask again when his face was suddenly rubbed by the Mad Beggar Boy. He didn't expect that and was really upset.


"The Crazy Beggar..! Your hands are bitter, damn it..!" Yi Wen smacked the arm of the man beside her in a fit of anxiety.


The Crazy Beggar Boy whimpered, but looked smiling. "Who told you to daydream while opening your mouth? I was just helping. Good thing no bugs got into your mouth,"


"The Crazy Beggar..! You ... You..!" Yi Wen flailed the arm of the man beside her, her cheeks flushed red.


"..............." Dao Fang An shook his head slowly. He smiled at how familiar these two people were, "You're a compatible couple."


"She..!" Yi Wen immediately protested, "Chairman Dao. Look at her face. I don't want to be paired by a young man whose face looks like this crazy person,"


"You're also an insane girl. We have something in common. Isn't that a soul mate?"


"You..!"


"Ouch. Yi Wen, stop hitting. Oh, aye. Elder Dao, is your sect in a good state?" The Mad Beggar Boy asked after he managed to hold onto Yi Wen's two hands and prevent this girl from hitting him.


Dao Fang An frowned, "Mm. Right now my sect is fine. Why are you asking that?"


The Mad Beggar Boy lowered Yi Wen's hand and then said in a slightly serious tone to Dao Fang An. "Before coming here, I went to the Heavenly Light Valley Sect and found three intruders in the sect,"


"Four," Yi Wen corrected.


"Yes, four. I thought intruders came here too because I was at the gate like I smelled different, but very faint, smells of blood. As if something had ever happened in this place,"


Dao Fang An was breathing slowly, "You have a keen sense of smell, Senior. I was shocked because the Heavenly Light Valley Sect turned out to be the arrival of an intruder. I just heard this,"


Dao Fang An fixed his sitting position and said, "This place has indeed been attacked by members of the Demon Valley Sect. Many disciples of this sect lost their lives and until now we are still in the process of recovery, both physical and inner."


Yi Wen gasped, he shook his head and said. "The Devil Valley Sect again. These guys are really trouble-seekers,"


"Are you hurt?" The Mad Beggar Boy asked Dao Fang An.


"Now it's improving. I was taken care of by elder Meng Hao Niang,"


Yi Wen frowned when he realized something. He said to Dao Fang An, "You're a 'Great Elder' and you're also this man's friend, but how could so many disciples of this sect lose their lives? Is the Demon Valley Sect really that strong that someone like you is not even able to fight them?"


Yi Wen said, "When I felt that you couldn't possibly have a weak practice. Especially I remember before. You say, this 'faggot' man met you 250 years ago. Cultivators of that age couldn't possibly be this weak, right?"


The Mad Beggar Boy gasped, but said nothing. While Dao Fang An smiled thinly and felt amazed by the foresight of this beautiful girl in front of him.


Dao Fang An replied calmly, "The members of the Demon Valley Sect are indeed very strong. If we fight, I can still ensure victory. It's just, they hold my weakness."


"Your weakness?" Yi Wen blinked.


"The weakness of those who still have heart and humanity" the Mad Beggar replied calmly as he crossed his arms.


Dao Fang An nodded, "The disciples in this sect are my family. The elders and I have a responsibility to protect them. The members of the Demon Valley Sect utilized the Eternal Alliance Conference that the elders had participated in to attack this place. They're using the disciples as hostages and that's my biggest weakness."


The Mad Beggar Boy shook his head slowly, "I deeply regret my misfortune. In fact, it's possible that I could save the Cloud Sea Sect so that there aren't many casualties that fall if I were to ascend to the Upper Cultivation Realm sooner."


"It's not your fault, Senior.." Dao Fang An exhaled, "Everything has passed. It's not good to keep remembering it,"


The Mad Beggar Boy nodded slowly, he was sad and also saw that the old man in front of him was trying to toughen up. Of course, this kind of misfortune could not be easily forgotten. It took a long time.


"mmm... Senior," Elder Dao Fang An suddenly asked, "Before I sent you many invitations. But you never came to visit. This time, what made you move to ascend to the Upper Cultivation Realm again after such a long time? There's no way you're coming without a meaningful need,"


The Mad Beggar Boy gasped, yet he with a friendly smile said. "Nothing is too important. I came here to see someone. Is Xiao Shuxiang in this sect?"


Dao Fang An frowned and then muttered softly, "Xiao Shuxiang ....? Xiao Shuxiang's ..... Uh!"


Dao Fang An recalled, "Senior knows about that Delinquent Boy?"


Yi Wen flinched, "Foolish Boy?"


"Hmph," the Mad Beggar Boy snorted and smiled bitterly. "It looks like the kid has done a lot of troublesome things in your place to have the nickname, 'Foolish Boy'."


Dao Fang An shook his head, "Not at all, he's good enough. It's just that he's being disrespectful. He called me, 'Tua Bangka'. But he's pretty submissive."


"G .... So. He is indeed such a person, please be understood. He's still learning to behave like a good human being, even though I doubt it." The Mad Beggar Boy exhaled. He said, "Xiao Shuxiang is this girl's Teacher Brother. We came to see him,"


"..............." Dao Fang An paused for a moment before saying, "I heard that that Rascal has been locked up in the room for more than a week. I actually just discussed about him with elder Jiao Feng,"


"Blooding yourself? Why would my brother Xiao do that?" Yi Wen frowned, as did the Mad Beggar Boy.


Dao Fang An explained, "He's already very meritorious. He saved the disciples who were hostages when I was seriously injured. He also fought with the members of the Demon Valley Sect and the one I heard-the sword broke because of that. He was sad to the point of confining himself and didn't even want to be disturbed,"


"Heirloom Sword ...." Yi Wen recalled and immediately jumped in shock, "My Xiao brother's heirloom sword broke?! The sword is ...."


"Dairy Sword Xiao Shuxiang .... Weren't-"


"Yin xiong!" Yi Wen interrupted and made the Crazy Beggar Boy shocked. They looked at each other and seemed to not believe.


"How could Yinng xiong be broken," Yi Wen shook his head, "This is impossible..!"


"Is it possible that it wasn't the sword?" The Crazy Beggar boy asked.


"My brother Xiao only has one heirloom sword. He couldn't possibly use an ordinary heirloom sword to fight against the members of the Demon Valley Sect, so he must be wearing Yinng xiong." Yi Wen looked at Dao Fang An and then asked, "Where is my brother Xiao's room now?"


"..............." Dao Fang An did not understand why these two people were so shocked when he heard Xiao Shuxiang's sword break.


He's confessing. When he first saw the sword, Dao Fang An felt it was a great sword even though it was not a type of Spiritual Heirloom. He discussed it with elder Jiao Feng earlier and was intending to meet Xiao Shuxiang to help the young man refine his sword. Merely, the intention was delayed because a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect came while carrying an invitation from the Mad Beggar Boy.


"I'll drop you off, I'd like to check on the boy, too. Come on," Dao Fang An got up from his seat and was overtaken by the two guests.


Yi Wen nudged the Mad Beggar Boy and said slowly. His face looked pale, "How is this? Yang xiong broke and we did not come with good news either. I'm worried about how my brother Xiao will be..."


"I thought about that too. You just pray that Xiao Shuxiang doesn't go berserk,"


"The Crazy Beggar. If that happens, you'll have to protect me. The bottom line is the risk of the news we brought for him must be borne both."


"What are you talking about?" Dao Fang An looked back and said, "Let's hurry. He's gonna be happy to see you guys,"


The Mad Beggar Boy and Yi Wen laughed bitterly. They are focused on planning the defense. At least they thought about how to manage the speech that did not ignite Xiao Shuxiang's emotions.


In a state that was sulking, especially to make Xiao Shuxiang shut himself in the room was not good news. The Mad Beggar Boy hoping to lose Ying xiong would not make Xiao Shuxiang forget themselves.
