HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
205 - Potential (2)

Elder Chen Duan Shan and Elder Shang Quan Yi were surprised to hear the words of the woman before them. The two elders could not hide such a startled reaction.


Elder Meng Hao Niang again said, "Xiao Shuxiang came to see me and said everything. He wants me to help him convince you. He hoped to be given the chance to defeat the Demon Valley Sect first before receiving his punishment,"


Elder Chen Duan Shan gasped, he noticed the woman before him and then spoke without a tone. "Will Xiao Shuxiang not do self-defense?"


Elder Meng Hao Niang, "What happened to him was due to the actions of the Dream Devil. But the reality that had to be accepted was that the citizens of the city lost their lives at the hands of Xiao Shuxiang. I can tell you that the Dream Devil only works behind the scenes and makes Xiao Shuxiang the perpetrator of that great crime."


Elder Meng Hao Niang breathed softly, "The delinquent knew what his mistake was. He did not come to me to apologize, but he came so that I would be willing to help him to talk to you, Elder Chen."


Elder Chen Duan Shan was just about to speak when Elder Meng Hao Niang again made a sound. "His mistake was great and he was willing to accept his punishment, but he wanted to demand vengeance from the Dream Devil. He wants a vengeance,"


"..............." Elder Chen Duan Shan started to catch his breath. He had previously been in a rather bad heart condition, but was now trying to calm down.


Elder Chen Duan Shan said, "Chairman Meng. To be honest, I actually wanted to directly punish Xiao Shuxiang after hearing the truth about him from you."


Elder Chen Duan Shan, "Xiao Shuxiang has already taken the life of a completely innocent person. However, he also cannot be blamed in full because what happened is not the desire of his heart. I can see that he's a good young man,"


Elder Chen Duan Shan took a breath and then looked at Elder Meng Hao Niang. He said, "But for now .... I want to meet and talk to him in person."


Elder Shang Quan Yi asked, "Where is Xiao Shuxiang right now?"


Elder Meng Hao Niang exhaled and replied, "That delinquent is training with Dao Fang An. But I think we can still bother them,"


Elder Meng Hao Niang stood up and then said, "I've said what I need to say. But the decision remains with Elder Chen, I will escort you to where the boy is training."


"Thank you," Elder Chen Duan Shan came to his feet and then followed Elder Meng Hao Niang by walking behind the woman.

Xiao Shuxiang sat on a rock and was seen frowning. He was now still in a place filled with bamboo trees, only together with Wang Zhao and the young man were sitting on another stone.


"Shizun, what are we going to do?" Wang Zhao asked. This question already represented the question that Xiao Shuxiang had in mind.


Elder Dao Fang An stood up calmly and then said, "Take a good position to sit down. Right now I want you to be able to close your eyes, calm down and read the First Sutra of Soul Control."


Xiao Shuxiang was surprised to hear that. He glared in disbelief, "What did you say just now?"


"What's wrong? You don't know about the first silk of soul control?" Elder Dao Fang An saw this dazzling young man still staring at him.


He also nodded when he realized something. Elder Dao Fang An said, "So you really didn't memorize the first silk of soul control?"


Xiao Shuxiang blinked, he started to catch his breath and said. "I know but I don't remember. Old Bangka? Do you want to train me to become a warrior or a temple dweller? Why are you asking us to do this?"


"The first silk of self-control is the first step of your change. All the cultivators from the White Stream, both those in the Upper Cultivation Realm and in your residences learned it."


"But I'm a Black Flow cultivator, I didn't learn that kind of thing." Xiao Shuxiang scratched his cheek softly which did not itch and while looking at Elder Dao Fang An he said, "Do you still not believe that I am a cultivator of the Black Stream?"


Wang Zhao blinked a few times, but did not say anything. He was so attentive to Xiao Shuxiang closely. If anyone were to ask her opinion, she would naturally say that she indeed doubted that Xiao Shuxiang was from the Black Stream.


Dao Elder Fang An tonelessly said, "Didn't you ever study in a sect belonging to young master Lan? How could you not have been taught this sutra,"


"Grandfather, I'm a student who makes a lot of trouble. My name is written large with a red thread in the Punishment Hall of the Sky Sword Sect. I gained many stars and became the only disciple with the worst behavior in the sect. So just imagine, do you think I'd sit down and memorize such fine silk?"


"My sect was filled with insane students. I rarely go home, but it's not like the sect in general." Xiao Shuxiang looked at Dao Elder Fang An's forehead wrinkled and he knew what this old man was thinking.


Xiao Shuxiang said, "You better clear your curiosity. My sect is the definition of 'Gruesome Beauty'. The disciples there looked like angels, but from the sight of the devil."


Elder Dao Fang An was indeed curious, yet he quickly ignored his curiosity that was because this was not the right time. He exhaled and then looked at Wang Zhao.


Dao Elder Fang An said, "Wang Zhao. You're the one reading the sutra, while you-the-Switch delinquent, focus and start listening well. Do,"


Wang Zhao nodded, while Xiao Shuxiang gasped. The good friend of Lan Guan Zhi was about to protest when Wang Zhao started to close his eyes and read the soul control sutras.


"Tu-wait a minute-"


"do it. You're the one who wants this," Elder Dao Fang An interrupted and made Xiao Shuxiang have trouble swallowing.


"God .... I'm not ready for this yet" Xiao Shuxiang looked pale-faced. He exhaled and improved his sitting position. Xiao Shuxiang started to close his eyes and began to focus on listening to Wang Zhao read the soul control silk.


Wang Zhao had a pleasant voice to hear, especially when reading the sutras. The young man did indeed also feel from the Black Stream realm, but he had long since stayed in the Cloud Sea Sect as a servant.


Wang Zhao had also long studied under the guidance of Elder Dao Fang An. He was the type of young man who did not possess the rebellious nature of Xiao Shuxiang. He really is a man with a soft heart as he knows.


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


Elder Dao Fang An placed his hands behind his waist and watched the two young men sitting cross-legged on the stone. He momentarily lived the silk reading from Wang Zhao. He was amazed that the young man could recite the soul control silk so well.


Elder Dao Fang An walked a little bit far away. He made room for these two people who were practicing. Elder Dao Fang An could not train in sword techniques and moves to Xiao Shuxiang or Wang Zhao, but he could introduce them to one of the elders who was skilled in such physical training.


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


Elder Dao Fang An heard the sound of footsteps approaching. He spontaneously turned around and did not expect to see the Great Elder of the Thousand Sword Palace and the Great Elder of the Heavenly Light Valley Sect approaching towards him.


Elder Dao Fang An also immediately walked over to greet the two guests. He put his hands together and paid his respects.


Elder Chen Duan Shan and Elder Shang Quan Yi replied respectfully from Elder Dao Fang. Among them were also seen Elder Meng Hao Niang, the Mad Beggar Boy, Lan Guan Zhi and the others.


"Chairman Chen and Elder Shang, when did you guys come?" Elder Dao Fang An smiled, he was happy to see these two friends. "Let's go ahead, Elder..."


"No, there's no need. We are here only," Elder Chen Duan Shan refused kindly. He knew that Elder Dao Fang An wanted to visit him. He also said that he had been given a banquet by Elder Meng Hao Niang.


As these elders were conversing, the Mad Beggar Boy who was hugging his bamboo staff appeared to be watching Xiao Shuxiang so seriously.


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


For a moment, the Mad Beggar Boy was stunned and enchanted by Wang Zhao's beautiful voice as well as Xiao Shuxiang's handsome face. He even unconsciously opened his mouth.


Lan Guan Zhi himself also paid attention to his good friend. He saw how Xiao Shuxiang was sitting cross-legged with full concentration. He blinked and smiled faintly when he knew that his best friend could also be so serious.


On the other hand, the Mad Beggar Boy gasped when he heard the conversation between Elder Dao Fang An and the Thousand Sword Palace Elder discussing about Xiao Shuxiang.


The Mad Beggar Boy held his breath because suddenly the atmosphere between Elder Dao Fang An and Elder Chen Duan Shan became so tense. He could feel an uneasy premonition and this also grew stronger as he stared at xiao shuxiang.
