HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
200 - Yi Wen (2)

Wen Rouhan blinked as he watched as there were many people who were behind the Rest Pavilion. Not only the two strangers, but also Elder Dao Fang and Elder Meng Hao Niang were in this place.


He put down the drink and went back inside the Rest Pavilion to continue his work.


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


There was a stone table complete with four seats. Elder Meng Hao Niang with Elder Dao Fang An was seen sitting there with Lan Guan Zhi and Yan Tianhen.


On the other hand, a long bamboo bench was also visible. The seat was often worn by Elder Dao Fang An to rest and eat. Because it was spacious, some people could sit there even if anyone wanted to while sleeping.


The Crazy Beggar Boy was seen sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bench. He gave a serious expression as he looked at Xiao Shuxiang who was crouching in front of a burning ember.


Jian Yang and Li Huanshou sat down with the Mad Beggar Boy, they were also seen paying attention to what Xiao Shuxiang was doing right now.


On the other hand, Liu Wei Lin was seen sitting alone on a fallen tree trunk. He waved his fan slowly and noticed his Xiao brother who looked so serious.


"Brother Xiao," Liu Wei Lin finally opened his voice, "Are you seriously going to forge that sword?"


"Mn, why not?" Xiao Shuxiang replied without turning a single glance.


"Jian Yang and Li Huanshou themselves tried it, but they couldn't." Liu Wei Lin gently waved his fan and said, "The skill of forging this sword .... Could you have it?"


".......... I've studied,"


Liu Wei Lin was interested. He closed the fan and said, "Certainly? How long have you been studying? Because I think .... That one or two months of forging practice can't make you an expert."


Xiao Shuxiang turned his head, he looked at Liu Wei Lin and smiled. "You're right. If I remember .... I seemed to have learned about this troublesome thing when I was 14 and still master the technique until now. Can it be considered that I've become an expert?"


Liu Wei Lin gasped, but his facial expression was more regretful. "Yes for goodness sake .... Either I should be happy or I don't hear it,"


Liu Wei Lin said, "I'm not actually saying that the sword forging skill is not good, but haven't you wasted your time?"


In this world, of course improving cultivation practices was the main one. So learning the sword forging skill was actually not very useful. Xiao Shuxiang knew that.


Liu Wei Lin explained, "If your cultivation practice is high and your spiritual energy control is great-then you can even make leaves as a deadly weapon,"


"But it's not easy to do," Xiao Shuxiang expressed his opinion. He started pulling out the iron inside the coals and then forging it.


A loud voice rang out, even what Xiao Shuxiang was doing was seen letting out sparks.


The Mad Beggar Boy rubbed his chin slowly and said, "I don't know if Shuxiang has this kind of weapon forging skill."


Yi Wen gasped to hear him, "You don't know? Hah, that Brother Xiao of mine has been learning to forge swords for many years. He's the one who made Yinng xiong."


Jian Yang and Li Huanshou were clearly startled, even Liu Wei Lin and Yan Tianhen turned to look at the girl who had just spoken.


Yi Wen proudly said, "Not only is it a weapons forging expert, my Brother Xiao is also very good at cooking, knows how to make clothes, is a master at making wine and is a talented alchemist. He's really great,"


Xiao Shuxiang's fief was stopped in midair when he heard Yi Wen's words. He exhaled and then shook his head slowly, "He unpacked everything. Basic chatty-"


"What did you say?!" Jian Yang exclaimed, he stared in disbelief at Yi Wen. He felt he had heard wrong.


"Miss Yi Wen, you ...." Li Huanshou did not even know what to say. He was flabbergasted and looked towards Xiao Shuxiang. He asked, "Brother Xiao..."


"Yi Wen is just overdoing it," Xiao Shuxiang again forged the iron in his hand and then said, "You guys don't easily believe and don't get influenced by the words of others. Especially to a girl you don't know very well,"


"Brother Xiao, you don't go down." Yi Wen crossed his arms and said, "I'm speaking the truth.."


Yi Wen looked at Jian Yang and again said, "You guys would definitely be surprised if I told you my Brother Xiao is not an ordinary cultivator. He was a prince of the Northern Continent. Even if only he did not refuse, he was already the emperor in his place of his current-" grandfather"


Xiao Shuxiang, "Yi Wen ...! Your mouth is-"


"What's? Whahuh? I didn't say anything wrong. I'm not lying,"


"Must ...." Jian Yang shook his head. He held his breath so unreliable. He did not even know if his heart was still beating at this moment or had already stopped.


Li Huanshou involuntarily muttered softly, "So that's why I feel that he's like no ordinary swordsman..."


Yan Tianhen, "Brother Xiao? Is that really what he said?"


Xiao Shuxiang did not turn his head to stare at the faces of Yan Tianhen and the others. He could already guess what their facial expressions were like now. Yi Wen was really like a leaky bathtub, his behavior was very similar to Zhi Shu.


"......... Well that is how it is," Xiao Shuxiang replied while still forging.


"Huh. It's worth it, when I first met you .... You look a bitch. Turns out... You have noble blood," Yan Tianhen said to Xiao Shuxiang, but gave a cynical look at Liu Wei Lin.


Dao Fang An himself seemed to be rubbing his chin slowly and said, "I think he is the son of a rich merchant. But it turns out to be more than that. Now I know why he can be so proud and so heavy-hearted as to accept my offer to be a servant."


Elder Meng Hao Niang took out his lab jug and then said without a tone, "I actually know that Delinquent Boy is an alchemist. But I didn't expect him to have royal blood,"


Yan Tianhen flinched hearing that, he turned his head towards Elder Meng Hao Niang and asked, "You .... Already know Brother Xiao is an alchemist?"


Elder Meng Hao Niang looked at Yan Tianhen and downed his wine in his lab jug. He said, "Didn't you smell her?"


Elder Dao Fang An said, "An alchemist usually covered the aroma of the spices in his body with another scent. Some wore lotus juice, milk or something like Elder Meng did."


Yan Tianhen blinked, "I am mostly not too close to Brother Xiao to be less sensitive about this. I used to smell baby milk and lotus flowers when I was with her, but I thought it was natural,"


Elder Dao Fang An said, "It's not easy to distinguish the scent from an alchemist, especially if that person wears a fragrance to mask the scent of spices on his body. But actually it's not that hard, you just need to have a sharper sense of smell."


Wang Zhao listened to Dao Elder Fang An's explanation and then asked, "Is Young Master Lan also an alchemist? I often smell sandalwood with him."


".......... No. gabe. I'm just learning, not as good as Shuxiang." Lan Guan Zhi replied with a calm tone of voice. At the same time, a loud voice sounded and shocked everyone.


Wang Zhao and the others immediately set their sights on Xiao Shuxiang who had apparently started to successfully form a long iron in his hand.


Xiao Shuxiang was also wearing an object that Yan Tianhen had previously brought. He melted the thing into the embers and added his purple-core blue lightning flame.


"Brother Xiao, do you need any help?" Liu Wei Lin felt anxious as Xiao Shuxiang's forging voice grew louder and more stifling.


The distance Liu Wei Lin was at was indeed closer to Xiao Shuxiang than the distance their friends were at. That was why if something happened, Liu Wei Lin and Xiao Shuxiang themselves would be affected first.


"Brother Liu, thank you. But I can still handle it myself," Xiao Shuxiang used his Fire Respiratory Technique so that the thing he forged was easily formed. He made for the iron in his hand to be able to fuse with the object previously given by Yan Tianhen.


Wang Zhao noticed how Xiao Shuxiang was forging. That friend of his did not use the manner of an ordinary human, Xiao Shuxiang fused the forging technique with his spiritual energy.


The Mad Beggar Boy and the others slowly saw how the thing forged by Xiao Shuxiang began to be enveloped in white smoke with three-colored spiritual energy.


Xiao Shuxiang gasped as he sensed something, yet he continued forging. He called his brother, "Yi Wen ...!"


The girl he called out was naturally shocked. Jian Yang and Li Huanshou were shocked by the sudden exclamation. Yi Wen himself instantly got up from his seat and immediately approached Xiao Shuxiang.


"Brother, what's wrong?"


"Lend me your strength," Xiao Shuxiang said as the weapon he wielded shot out and floated through the air.


Liu Wei Lin frowned as Xiao Shuxiang instead called Yi Wen to help him. Yan Tianhen himself appeared to be approaching and volunteered as an additional favor.


"Brother Yan, don't do it." Xiao Shuxiang prevented Yan Tianhen. He made his friends flinch.


"But you look overwhelmed,"


"I thank you, but I only need Yi Wen. This weapon was filled with a pure aura as it was formed by the spiritual energy of Brother Liu, Jian Yang and Li Huanshou. Receiving spiritual energy from you would make him even more unbalanced,"


Yan Tianhen gasped, yet he still received an explanation from Xiao Shuxiang. He began to notice Yi Wen who was currently thrusting his spiritual energy towards Yinng xiong.


The Mad Beggar Boy involuntarily opened his mouth while watching Yi Wen's spiritual aura being so dark. His nose ached from smelling a scent that felt like the smell of death.


"Yi Wen ..." Crazy Beggar Boy's forehead puckered, his throat hurt. "Does he still visit funerals and practice there? Tsk, you monster girl."


Elder Dao Fang An and Lan Guan Zhi could also feel the aura of death on the spiritual energy of Yi Wen. They were somewhat sensitive than the other cultivators.


On the other hand, Yi Wen who was focusing started to ask. "Brother Xiao, is my way right?"


"Mn, keep it that way." Xiao Shuxiang could feel his weapon reacting and began to transform into a new form.


A lightning-like sound rang out from the weapon that floated in the air while being enveloped in white smoke that slowly turned black. The color is getting thicker as the stronger the loud sound that is heard.


The atmosphere instantly turned tense. Liu Wei Lin, Wang Zhao and the others waited with such a cautious feeling.


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


Elder Meng Hao Niang narrowed his eyes before turning his head towards Elder Dao Fang An. Coincidentally, Dao Elder Fang An also stared at him.


The two elders seemed to have the same thought and Lan Guan Zhi realized it. The white-clothed youth was breathing slowly and sure to pay more attention to his good friend from now on. It felt like Xiao Shuxiang's safety was a little threatened even though he himself did not understand why there was this kind of premonition.
