HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
231 - Return to the Cloud Sea Sect

Wang Zhao was breathing slowly and had not lost his nervousness at this moment. He continued to pay attention to Hei Lian while being seen holding the Eternal Binding Rope, just in case she had to wear it.


This rope was a gift from Elder Jing Shang Yu. The elder from the Xuyang Peak Mountain was away to see the condition of the Cloud Sea Sect right now. He and Xiao Shuxiang were also asked to remain in this place.


"Master Xiao ..." Wang Zhao voiced nervously, "Did you really not kill him? Why .... Hey Lian hasn't regained consciousness...?"


Wang Zhao had already watched Hei Lian closely and this little girl had a cut on her neck. The scars from Xiao Shuxiang's hand clutches did not disappear at all and honestly it looked terrifying.


Wang Zhao didn't want to think of anything that wasn't, but really! He felt that it was impossible for anyone to live after his neck was gripped so tightly. Especially if the victim is a child and the perpetrator is a young adult.


Xiao Shuxiang crossed his arms and took a slow breath. He said, "You calm down. Just wait a minute. I'm sure he'll be conscious soon,"


"..............." Wang Zhao watched the seemingly ordinary Xiao Shuxiang. This young man somehow did not feel guilty at all even though he had hurt a small child.


Wang Zhao exhaled and then lowered his head. He shook his head slowly, "I'm really stupid .... Although Hei Lian was still a child, but the mistake she made was huge. Even if Mister Xiao wanted to kill him, this was not a wrong move either."


Wang Zhao tried to take a deep breath, tried to calm himself down and then started to say. "I .... Knowing Hey Lian for quite a while. He .... Previously only children who did not have a father and mother. My uncle took care of her,"


"..............." Xiao Shuxiang looked at Wang Zhao without saying anything. His face did not change.


Wang Zhao said, "He's actually a good boy. All I know is, he's not gonna hurt anybody. Even when uncle attacked us, Hei Lian helped out so I could escape. He even broke uncle's orders and he cried when my father was finished off,"


Wang Zhao clenched his hands and tried to refrain from crying. He said, "That's why I still can't see Hei Lian as an enemy. Definitely .... Something must have happened to this kid. There's no way she's changing so fast,"


"..............." Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and then sat down on one of the tombstones. He made Wang Zhao flinch.


"Master Xiao-"


"Time can change others," Xiao Shuxiang made a calm voice. "You can't expect them to stay the same while you yourself have changed, too,"


"Master Xiao,"


"I really wanted to kill that little girl, she's already made me very difficult. Seriously, it's the first time I've ever felt like winning after a fight." Xiao Shuxiang crossed his arms and then shook his head.


"Master Xiao-" Wang Zhao wanted to talk, but his words continued to be interrupted.


Xiao Shuxiang said, "I am usually very confident. But today was really bad for me. Haaa... For the sake of defeating a child, I even need your help and that of elder Jing Shang Yu. It really hurt my pride"


"Master Xiao..! Do you realize what you're sitting on?!" Wang Zhao finally couldn't stand it anymore and snapped. He was shocked by what he had done and later apologized.


Xiao Shuxiang himself seemed to flinch, he cursed at Wang Zhao. "The hell, you surprised me to know!"


"The end of Mr. Xiao occupied something taboo to be treated like that. Please come down,"


"Tsk, this is just a tombstone. Why should you be worried? I don't occupy the bodies of the dead,"


Wang Zhao froze, he was completely inexhaustible with this handsome young man. They were now at the funeral and Xiao Shuxiang was acting disrespectfully instead.


Wang Zhao said, "You should appreciate a person who's gone. What if the body suddenly wakes up and scolds you?"


"You..!" Xiao Shuxiang flinched and spontaneously descended from the tombstone he was sitting on. He coughed softly and then said, "Me-remembering I am now learning to be a good person, then I will try to keep my attitude. So let's talk about something else,"


Wang Zhao blinked. He watched Xiao Shuxiang and smiled bitterly, "Master Xiao. What ... Are you afraid of ghosts?"


"Who said that, huh?!" Xiao Shuxiang protested, he snorted and again said. "It's the ghosts who will fear me,"


"Behind you is ..." w.a.n.g Zhao's countenance looked surprised mixed with fear.


He only pretended to see Xiao Shuxiang's reaction, but who would have thought that this handsome young man before him directly took out Ying xiong and then turned around to finish it off.


Wang Zhao could not help but laugh, he also made a sound. "I didn't think you were afraid of ghosts,"


"Who is afraid?! I'm just shocked..!" Xiao Shuxiang did not accept being toyed with, he stored back his sword and then clamped Wang Zhao's head.


Xiao Shuxiang cursed, "You are such a bitch. What good is it to do that, huh?!"


"Sorry ...." Wang Zhao rubbed his head and said, "I think you who are this strong no longer have fear. I didn't expect it at all,"


"I told you I'm not a coward, I'm just shocked. Don't you understand human language, huh?"


While Xiao Shuxiang was still pinching Wang Zhao-eye-lulu's head Hei Lian seemed to be shaking, the little girl started to open her eyes.


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


Hei Lian's forehead shriveled, she felt her body ache and the same taste was also on her neck. He even had trouble moving his head, even if it was just to look over.


Hey Lian blinked, she saw two young men, one of whom was oppressed. It was just that the face he had seen first was that of Xiao Shuxiang's enchanting face.


"............. Who?" Hey Lian wanted to ask, but her throat was still very sore. He even has trouble talking.


"............. Wang .... Wang Zhao-Gege ...."


"Jao Wang .... Gege ..." Hei Lian could only name Wang Zhao. He made the young man flinch and Xiao Shuxiang himself seemed to frown.


"I think he only recognized you," Xiao Shuxiang said softly. He could see that this little girl who was still lying weak was having trouble moving.


"You okay?" Wang Zhao could not hide the worry on his face. He even gently touched his forehead and rubbed Hei Lian's head.


"Gege .... Pain ...."


"Don't cry, you'll be fine. There I am here," Wang Zhao could see it. Hey Lian now looks like the little girl she knows. This girl was crying like any other child in general.


Xiao Shuxiang looked at how Wang Zhao was starting to hold the 15-year-old daughter. Honestly speaking, he felt that Wang Zhao was like a father figure who was calming his daughter down.


"Gege ...." Hei Lian hugged Wang Zhao and was still crying. His body was very sick and if only his throat was in a good condition-himself would have been crying loudly.


"Calm down, calm down ...."


Hei Lian sobbed, her body was extremely weak but she was still trying to see the young man who was together with his Wang Zhao Gege. The young man before him was very handsome, yet so foreign. He did not know who the person who was with his Wang Zhao Gege was.


To Xiao Shuxiang himself, he looked a little stunned. Hei Lian was obviously a child that could be said to be a teenager, but Wang Zhao carried her around like he was holding a 5-year-old. This .... Either Hei Lian who was lacking in affection or Wang Zhao himself who was full of love.


"..............." Xiao Shuxiang so could not bear to reprimand this young man. Let alone looks, Wang Zhao was trying to make Hei Lian calm down.


Xiao Shuxiang decided to wait, he almost sat back on a tombstone if he did not remember Wang Zhao's words. He finally chose to take a seat on the ground while looking towards the floating island that was currently still burning.


In addition, Xiao Shuxiang knew enough that the effect of the potion he had given Hei Lian had a reaction. At least now, the little girl Wang Zhao was holding no longer looked like an enemy.


Xiao Shuxiang even realized that the little girl sometimes gave him a glance. It's just that Hei Lian's condition is so weak and even difficult to talk.


"Master Xiao," Wang Zhao finally started to open his voice. He approached Xiao Shuxiang and then asked, "Do you have anything that can ease his pain?"


"The child just needs to stop crying. If she keeps crying, the pain will be even more pronounced."


"Lian'Er, relax... Hm..?"


"..............." Xiao Shuxiang exhaled as he watched how Wang Zhao treated someone who had already troubled them a lot.


Xiao Shuxiang shook his head slowly, "This man .... What is his heart made of? He's a Black Flow cultivator, right? Why do I feel that he's the wrong little boy to live in. He's really too good,"


"Come," Xiao Shuxiang asked Wang Zhao to come closer. He reached out and started touching Hei Lian's head.


The little girl who was still in Wang Zhao's arms was seen closing her eyes. Hey Lian felt a warm touch and made her comfortable. He wanted to be close to this charming young man.


Xiao Shuxiang checked Hei Lian's condition in the usual way, he did not flow any Qi into this little girl's body at all. Xiao Shuxiang was just checking like the way ordinary healers did.


"..............." Hei Lian opened her eyes when she no longer felt the swipe from the warm hands of this handsome young man. He actually did not want his Wang Zhao Gege friend to draw a hand back.


Xiao Shuxiang took out a pill and gave it to Hei Lian. The little girl looked at him for a moment before starting to open her mouth. Hey Lian liked the taste of the pills she ate, so sweet and refreshing.


Xiao Shuxiang's pill does have an effect to reduce pain, but it is a bit slow when in the process of healing wounds.


Xiao Shuxiang could have actually taken out his stronger homemade pill, but if it was done-Hei Lian would not have known how the pain was. He didn't want to make this little boy too easy.


It took quite a long time for Xiao Shuxiang and Wang Zhao to rest. They had only moved when Hei Lian had been able to stand up and no longer felt limp and pain.


Wang Zhao used his wooden sword to carry Xiao Shuxiang with Hei Lian. Because of his strength now, he could make the blades on his wooden sword widen and control it to dart faster.


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


Along the way, Hei Lian never let go of Wang Zhao's hand. He continued to hold onto the young man, but always stole the limelight to be able to look at Xiao Shuxiang for longer.


"Wang Zhao-Gege, where are we going?" Hey Lian asked. His facial expression and voice were very plain. It was as if this girl had just been invited to a new place.


Xiao Shuxiang frowned when he realized something. He tonelessly started to look at Hei Lian and asked, "Have you forgotten something?"


Hei Lian looked up if she wanted to stare at Xiao Shuxiang. He blinked hearing the words of this dazzling young man. Hey Lian opened her voice, "I ... Forgetting what?"


"You don't remember?" Xiao Shuxiang asked again. "Seriously you don't remember what you've done?"


"I ... What have I done?" Hei Lian was confused, she looked at Wang Zhao and asked for an explanation from this young man.


Wang Zhao himself did not know how to talk. He looked at Xiao Shuxiang to help give Hei Lian an explanation.


On the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang was seen frowning. He thought about how Hei Lian could forget what this little girl had done.


Xiao Shuxiang so felt that what happened to Hei Lian was because he had too much to drink the potion Zhang Xiao Lian was refining and was in probation.
