HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
222 - Disclosure (2)

The Crazy Beggar Boy was currently sitting by the artificial river bank belonging to the Cloud Sea Sect. He looked at the reflection of the moon and had already exhaled somehow many times.

Xiao Shuxiang himself was seen sitting next to the Crazy Beggar Boy and was seen holding a book and a painting brush. The young man looked very serious.

Xiao Shuxiang glanced at the man beside him and noticed that this figure had now become even more reserved. He began to not stand it and finally made a sound.

Xiao Shuxiang said, "I don't actually want to interfere with anything about your personal life. But I have met this Great Master Duan Wenyang and there is no one I can ask about him but you,"

Xiao Shuxiang asked, "So can you say something?"

"..............." The Mad Beggar Boy turned his head and looked at the young man beside him before looking back at the reflection of the moon in the calm of the stream.

"Crazy Beggar, say something. Don't just shut up. Your silence makes you look more normal and I don't like it,"

"I was .... Is an orphan,"

Xiao Shuxiang blinked, "You killed both of your parents?"

"Of course not. I'm not a person like you," the Mad Beggar Boy immediately denied, he was quite shocked because the young man beside him gave a startling question.

Xiao Shuxiang himself swept his lips before returning to focus on the sketch of the face he was painting. He heard the sound of breathing from the man beside him.

The Mad Beggar Boy said, "I don't have much memory of the past. What I remember .... I lived on the streets when I was a kid. I was shunned by everyone and sometimes expelled. They're scared,"

The Mad Beggar Boy said, "I had a skin disease at the time. No one wants to get close to me. Totally disgusting. Not to mention, I also often fight over food with dogs. It is rare for anyone to have mercy,"

"............. Some people are born with misfortune,"

"Mn, I always want to forget those times. But remember the name of my teacher you mentioned .... I remember him back. My teacher was living in the Upper Realm. We call him the God Man, currently better known as a cultivator."

"............. Were those five continents not as separate as they are now?" Xiao Shuxiang simply asked. Who would have thought that the man beside him would just nod.

"really. If I'm not mistaken, this used to be called the Star Continent. Then there was once in a few years, the God Humans descended to take disciples. It was then that I met Duan Wenyang, my teacher."

"Let me guess. He looked at you and felt pity and then you started being taken to be his disciple. Right, right?" Xiao Shuxiang did not want the story of this man to sound pitiful, hence he was about to establish an atmosphere and it worked.

The Mad Beggar Boy snorted and then responded, "That's not true at all. That Duan Wenyang never gave me the slightest face. The look in his eyes was more piercing, colder than the look in your White Cat's eyes and even without any pity at all."

"Did he see you like he saw shit?"

"really. He's doing. I've always been seen that way by everyone, but when he does it-it feels like I want to die."

"Isn't that bad? It is not good to give such a fearful look to a little child," Xiao Shuxiang shook his head and then said. "If I'm given such a look by someone, then if it has to be dead-will make sure he won't be able to see again,"

"My teacher did have a scary look, but it was then .... I saw his other eyes. A boy had stood in front of me and seemed to steal his attention,"

"That's another student?!" Xiao Shuxiang flinched. He remembered the words of Grand Master Duan Wenyang, the figure of a disciple so admired and the figure of a disciple who had always been neglected.

The Mad Beggar Boy said, "The boy was chosen directly by the teacher and he had made Duan Wenyang's figure smile. Is correct. I never saw a smile as beautiful as it could come from an icy-cold facial expression. That's the moment where I felt that my heart had been stolen,"

Xiao Shuxiang looked at this man sitting beside him smiling. He didn't want to interrupt the Mad Beggar Boy now, so he just listened.

The Mad Beggar Boy said, "People say .... Dad is the first love of his daughter. I felt like I could feel that too, so I tried to get up and pull her clothes."

".............. With dirty hands?" Xiao Shuxiang muttered softly.

"Mn, with dirty hands, thin and full of disease. But you know, he was willing to accept me. Thought ... It was probably out of pity or maybe because he felt I wouldn't be able to live any longer. Possibly .... He wanted to do the last good to a child so pathetic,"

The Crazy Beggar boy took a breath and then said, "Then I was taken to stay with those God-Man. But as before, even though I was treated and started to gradually improve .... The treatment of me has not changed at all. 'A dung can never become silver even if it is cleaned with water whatever it is,'"

"..............." Xiao Shuxiang stopped his painting movements while recalling a little about his past. The words of the last Mad Beggar Boy made him exhale heavily.

Xiao Shuxiang moved his brush again and said slowly, "....... Just like the Demonic Beasts that were feared by humans as well as the cultivators of the Black Stream that had been carrying a lot of chaos all along. A name that has been considered bad from the beginning, can never be cleared."

"Mn, but that was also because Black Flow cultivators were indeed mostly evil people. Demonic Beast also .... Only a few of them can be made friends,"

"All I know is the Black Stream .... We mostly do forbidden techniques for cultivating. Some were wearing dark energy because their dantian was weak, unable to cultivate normally. If there was another option, where might they try the forbidden technique."

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and again said, "The reason why the Black Stream cultivators chose to stay in the mountains or dangerous places and seemed alienated from the world-certainly was because no one would accept them. I don't want to defend or justify anyone, because like you said-most criminals are from the Black Stream."

Xiao Shuxiang snorted and then smiled. He said, "But I admire you. You have absolutely no grudge even if treated like dirt. If it was me, they wouldn't be able to live quietly."

"Who said it?" The Crazy Beggar Boy said, "I'm not that good a person. I could also feel resentment and resentment towards anyone, but it seemed - in those moments I was born as one who was always oppressed."

"Let me guess. Is the boy who caught your teacher's attention the one who's been a hero to you?"

"Huh, he's just being a spectator. Absolutely no help," the Crazy Beggar boy shook his head slowly. He made Xiao Shuxiang raise next to his eyebrows.

"Great Teacher Duan Wenyang said he had a pure-hearted disciple with a strong soul. She's loving and has a love why human, is it possible that she didn't give you any help?"

"My teacher said that?" The Mad Beggar Boy asked and was muttered back by Xiao Shuxiang.

"Mn, he said it."

"Hmph, even after becoming a piece of soul-he still praised his beloved disciple."

"There's an*love on your face," Xiao Shuxiang sneered and then exhaled.

^^^*jealous^^^^

Xiao Shuxiang said, "You must not be sad. Grand Master Duan Wenyang conveyed his regret. He also told me about you. He looks sorry for ignoring you and he feels proud that the disciple he ignored has become such an admired legend,"

"You don't need to comfort me," the Mad Beggar Boy exhaled. "I knew that he must have been more sorry for his most beloved disciple than I was,"

The Mad Beggar Boy said, "I was under his guidance only a few years before I decided to leave. I just wanted her to pay attention to me all along, but you know .... It was difficult for such a mediocre disciple and did not even have the talent to be able to attract the attention of such a majestic figure like him."

"Mn, I traveled and studied with many teachers. But I never raised a cultivator to teach me to cultivate again, my practice has remained at Forging Qi Level 2 until now."

"............. Was it as an impingement or to remind you of him?"

"This is my honor,"

"Then what about the Deep Energy Technique you have now?" Xiao Shuxiang was curious for this one.

The Crazy Beggar Boy shook his head, "Don't remember. Too many teachers have taught me,"

"What about the book your teacher wrote?"

"Of course it was given to his favorite student. I just met him back after a while, in the Chaos Era. It's a terrible incident and it's better not to tell,"

Xiao Shuxiang gave the book to the Crazy Beggar Boy. He had made an extraordinarily beautiful painting and made the man beside him startle.

"This ...." The Crazy Beggar Boy stared at the figure in the painting made by the young man beside him. He held his breath, "This ...."

"I try to remember the face of the soul piece I've met. Are you starting to remember?"

"Yes.... Is correct. This is his face. The face I saw the first time I met him," The Mad Beggar brushed gently every ink stroke in the book in his hand.

"Why can I forget it. If you don't see his face again .... I will never be able to remember it clearly. She's a teacher I really admire and a person who makes me sad,"

"The Crazy Beggar ...." Xiao Shuxiang was not stunned as the man beside him smiled, but shed tears. This was the first time he had seen the Mad Beggar Boy cry.

Xiao Shuxiang watched the man beside him and then exhaled. His hands slowly began to stretch out and rubbed and patted the back of the man beside him.

"It can still cry, it's still good..."

"............. I'm an unfilial student," the Mad Beggar Boy said softly, "I've disappointed my teacher."

"That's not true." Xiao Shuxiang tried to comfort this friend of his, he said without a tone. "If you are an unfilial student, then I am a disobedient child. My faults are many and my sins are greater. In your life, you've done a lot of good. You're a proud figure,"

"But I .... Really disappointed my teacher. Everyone knows I have a deviant life. I didn't dare look at him at all,"

"It's just your disguise, no need to worry. Remember this, if you make one mistake. Then Xiao Shuxiang had already made a mistake that no longer counted. One mistake could be forgiven, while Xiao Shuxiang's mistake could only be punished by the heavens. You'll feel lucky not to have made the same mistake I did."

"Shuxiangis...." The Crazy Beggar Boy looked at the young man beside him.

He no longer cried because he heard Xiao Shuxiang say. But somehow the Mad Beggar Boy felt that this young man had an unusual way of comforting him.

The Mad Beggar Boy asked, "Why did you say that?"

"When you think someone is making a big mistake, won't you feel grateful and lucky for making a small mistake? If you see anyone who has never done any good once, wouldn't you feel proud for doing some good?"

Xiao Shuxianh said, "That man .... Sometimes it takes a person who has a lower life to make him grateful. Not the one who was on par with him to make him feel envious. The man .... Sometimes it's worth comparing his life to the lives of others,"

"..............." The Mad Beggar Boy blinked and watched this young man intently. He spontaneously asked, "Are you a feared Black Flow cultivator just a guise of your hypocrite?"

"What?" Xiao Shuxiang frowned and looked at the Mad Beggar Boy.

"Either why .... But I feel that you're really not a bad person,"

Xiao Shuxiang snorted and then laughed, "Excellent. I just said some good things and you don't think I'm a bad person?"

"Shuxiang, honestly. You just said some things that I did not know from the lives of the Black Flow cultivators, that they chose the forbidden technique because it did not have any other choice. It's like you're uncovering a secret that the world doesn't really know,"

"really? Did I talk to you like that?" Xiao Shuxiang blinked and stared innocently at the Mad Beggar Boy.

"Shuxiang, don't joke. You're a big liar,"

"Hey..! I never lied. Even if never. You're offending me,"

"Then tell me about the real you."

"Don't you know?"

"Shuxiang, the others. The secret you've been hiding from everyone where I've had a hard time guessing,"

Xiao Shuxiang noticed how serious the Mad Beggar Boy was. He exhaled and then smiled, "You want to know?"

Crazy Beggar Boy gulps. He suddenly became a bit tense.

Xiao Shuxiang long fell silent before then saying, "I'm trying to live a better life. But if any of you doubted my intentions - I wouldn't hesitate to re-destroy the world."

Xiao Shuxiang stood up and looked at the Mad Beggar Boy. He flatly expressed and said, "There are some things you don't need to know. It's much better for you. You just have to know .... This Excellency Xiao Shuxiang is on your side,"

"..............." The Crazy Beggar Boy looked at Xiao Shuxiang who was walking away. He stood up and said seriously, "That's not how you avoid questions, son. Do you want me to give you a crazy guess?"

The Mad Beggar Boy said, "You have rebelled against your life in the Black Stream neighborhood. That's why you took the lives of your own father and mother. You're not treated like a child, are you?"

!!!

Xiao Shuxiang stopped stepping and immediately turned around. He looked at the Mad Beggar Boy and subconsciously clenched his hands together.

"You want me to guess again?" The Mad Beggar Boy asked in a serious tone. His face was not joking.

The Mad Beggar Boy said, "You are fed up with the merciless upbringing of your parents. You're also sick of life in your neighborhood getting dehumanized every day. You don't want that kind of situation to go on and this is why you're rebelling. You took the lives of those who deserved to be killed until you got that title. Right, guys? Xiao Shuxiang,"
