HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
232 - Cloud Sea Sect (3)

After the fiery acid rain and thick cloud puff above there were no longer visible, the barrier seal created by Elder Xie Yanran began to slowly disappear.

The elder from Peak Mountain Zhang exhaled and then noticed his surroundings. There were still many trees and grass burning and melting around it, the wind that blew was a hot wind.

Elder Xie Yanran used spiritual energy to extinguish the flames around him while searching for the existence of Wang Zhao who had previously suddenly disappeared.

Elsewhere, the Mad Beggar Boy and Yi Wen were seen exhaling a sigh of relief as even the fiery acid rain was no longer present. They were shocked and seemed to have just realized the position of those who were currently still hugging.

The Cloud Sea Sect disciple who had been protecting the Mad Beggar Boy and Yi Wen had decided to leave. He was already sultry at the closeness of these two people and had restrained himself for quite a while.

On the other hand, Dao Elder Fang An also started to retract his spiritual energy. The look on his face was not good at all, even though the fiery acid rain was no more.

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

Elder Dao Fang An looked around and found it difficult to catch his breath. He had not expected that this so sudden attack had damaged almost the entirety of the place in his sect.

Not only that, more than half of his Cloud Sea Sect disciples died disembodied. They die in the condition of melted flesh and burned bones. The remaining ones were also mostly in a severely injured state.

"Great Chief Dao ..." Jian Yang tried to calm down Dao Elder Fang An, yet he himself did not know how to talk. He was also very shaken by this situation.

Elder Dao Fang An looked up at the sky and saw the moon as if it was about to return to its plight. He was breathing slowly despite his chest tightness, "It hasn't been long before this sect was attacked .... Now the enemy is back to doing it ...."

Li Huanshou wanted to make a sound, but he immediately saw Elder Jiao Feng walking towards him. The man was together with some disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect.

"Jiao Feng," Dao Elder Fang An said as Elder Jiao Feng was nearby. He said, "Gather the disciples. I want to see them all,"

Elder Jiao Feng nodded and then gestured for his students to help him carry out the duties of Elder Dao Fang An.

Jian Yang and Li Huanshou also helped out. They extinguished the fire while calling the disciples they encountered to gather at the place where Elder Dao Fang An was. Jian Yang and Li Huanshou were careful when they were putting out the fire, this was because there was still a mist that contained acid and was of course dangerous.

In the place of Elder Dao Fang An, the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect began to arrive. Some were seen carrying his friend and some were in a condition to hold the ringisan. Elder Meng Hao Niang and Elder Jing Shang Yu were also seen helping some of their disciples.

Not long after, the Mad Beggar Boy also began to look and the man was together with Yi Wen. Not even far behind them were also Yun Qiao Yue, Lan Guan Zhi and the other three disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect.

Elder Liu Lang and Elder Wang Jing Li came a few minutes later. It did not take long to see Mo Huai who was picking up a senior disciple from the Cloud Sea Sect.

"Young Master Lan, what's wrong with you?!"

"Young Master Lan, are you hurt?"

Mo Huai who had just arrived seemed to flinch upon hearing some female disciples who were much more worried about Lan Guan Zhi. Though there were a lot of injured people here, including the senior disciple he had brought along.

"No problem," Lan Guan Zhi kept her voice calm even though a throbbing pain was still felt on this hand.

"I .... I will treat you," a female disciple volunteered to help Lan Guan Zhi. He was a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect who knew enough about the science of medicine.

"Sorry it's been troublesome," Lan Guan Zhi did not mind at all. He saw how the bandage from the red cloth on his right hand was slowly being released.

"Lan'Er Gege ...." The Crazy Beggar Boy looked pale-faced. The man gasped and felt pity as he watched the condition of Lan Guan Zhi's hands that were so severe. On one hand, he was saluted because his Lan'Er Gege still looked calm even though the young man's right hand was barely turned into bones.

Yi Wen also looked pale. He had never expected Lan Guan Zhi to experience this kind of condition. On the other hand, he also pityed the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect whose condition was even worse.

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

While Lan Guan Zhi was looking at his treated right hand, at the same time a flying sword was seen that belonged to Wang Zhao.

Lan Guan Zhi spontaneously looked up, she felt the presence of Xiao Shuxiang and it turned out to be true. The friend rode the sword with Wang Zhao.

Wang Zhao's large wooden sword started to float down. He began to step up, about to descend from his wooden sword but the unexpected happened.

Wang Zhao tripped on his own leg and then fell down. The bad in instead bumped into Xiao Shuxiang and brought the young man down with him.

!!

Everyone who saw the incident, including Lan Guan Zhi himself seemed to flinch. Xiao Shuxiang who was the victim did not expect to be in this condition.

Xiao Shuxiang's face nearly smelled the ground, but that was not the most important thing. His condition was now lying down with Wang Zhao's body tightly stuck to his back. Even whether he realized it or not both of his hands were held by this young man on it.

Xiao Shuxiang blew his front bangs and said restrainedly, "Excellent. I taught you many things and arguably was half your teacher, but you just took the chance by bullying me?!"

Wang Zhao himself seemed to be unconscious by the position of his body. He was only shocked when he heard Xiao Shuxiang's words just now and tried to get up.

"Pardon me. I didn't mean it,"

Xiao Shuxiang looked at Wang Zhao and immediately cursed, "Aren't you aware that your body is heavy? You even dared to press my butt, you brat..! It sucks!"

"Master Xiao, I-I was completely unintentional." Wang Zhao was nervous and tried to give an explanation, "My leg just stumbled. I'm really sorry,"

Xiao Shuxiang got up and patted his clothes that were dirty from the dust. He said, "Only a child who is just learning to walk can most likely stumble over his own leg. And even if it happened to you, you shouldn't have brought me down. You are ..."

Xiao Shuxiang was very upset, he clucked and said. "I just wanted to look so awesome and so amazing, but you screwed it up. Hiih ..."

Wang Zhao again apologized to Xiao Shuxiang before paying attention to the people around him. He smiled bitterly and somewhat awkwardly as he saluted Elder Dao Fang An.

Xiao Shuxiang could be said to be a magnet capable of attracting the attention of many people and could affect anyone around him. The proof of this one, Wang Zhao was previously a quiet youth figure and always maintained a self-image. Wang Zhao could always behave cautiously, but now somehow his behavior was now starting to somewhat resemble someone.

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

Elder Dao Fang An exhaled. Due to the mannerisms of Wang Zhao and Xiao Shuxiang, the tension that he and some of the Cloud Sea Sect disciples felt now slowly faded.

The Mad Beggar Boy shook his head when he heard the curse from Xiao Shuxiang that was still going on. He then mocked, "You are like a virgin who is being harassed. He's sorry, why keep blaming him? Your ass is still there, isn't it?"

Xiao Shuxiang turned his head when he heard a familiar annoying voice in his ears. He looked at the man who was holding the bamboo stick and then said, "What a good mouth you have. Where have you been from?! Why don't you come help, huh?! I'm having a hard time fighting a strong enemy alone, damn it."

The Crazy Beggar Boy gasped. He defended himself, "Where do I know you're fighting ...."

"Tsk, did Mo Huai not look for you?"

"Absolutely not," the Mad Beggar Boy replied as he was and then said. "After all, even if I'm wanted, I can't do anything either. I'm just a novice cultivator,"

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled as he looked at the Mad Beggar Boy who was hugging his bamboo staff while puffing his cheeks. He shook his head slowly, "Mo Huai ... Where is that person ...? I've asked him to look for the Crazy Beggar Boy. She's this ..."

Xiao Shuxiang tried to calm himself down. On the other hand, Mo Huai who knew himself to be sought was also seen walking forward. It was just that his facial expression showed a very great nervousness.

Xiao Shuxiang looked at Mo Huai and immediately snapped, "Didn't I ask you to look for the Mad Beggar Boy, why don't you do it?"

Mo Huai was surprised and nervously said, "I want to leave. But a terrifying rain started to fall and if not for the help of this Senior Brother, I might have already become ashes by now."

"You don't blame him," the Mad Beggar Boy opened his voice, "After all, he's not guilty at all.."

Xiao Shuxiang was just about to argue with the Mad Beggar Boy when his eye gaze turned to Lan Guan Zhi. He was surprised to see his friend's hand and immediately approached him.

The female disciple from the Cloud Sea Sect who was still treating Lan Guan Zhi's hands seemed to be moaning as Xiao Shuxiang immediately sat down and suddenly hit him. He fell down.

"Shuxiang," Lan Guan Zhi certainly did not expect her best friend to be so rude to the miss who had been so kind to her.

"What's? What the hell am I doing?" the innocent and innocent voice and expression of Xiao Shuxiang made Lan Guan Zhi breathe softly.

The girl who was struck by Xiao Shuxiang herself looked pouted, she was forced to stay away even in a heavy-hearted state. He was calmed down by some of his friends and shook his head slowly at Xiao Shuxiang's behavior.

"Lan'Er, how did your hand become like this? This .... Very bad," Xiao Shuxiang held Lan Guam Zhi's hand slowly and watched her carefully.

"No need to think about it," Lan Guan Zhi voiced calmly. His facial expression did not change. He said, "You just go with Young Master Wang."

"What?" Xiao Shuxiang flinched and looked at his good friend. He wasn't sure he heard wrong.

"Wait," Crazy Beggar Boy in shock, "What Lan'Er Gege just .... Jealousy?"

"Lan Zhi ...." Xiao Shuxiang stared at the horror of his good friend. He had yet to ask when he heard Lan Guan Zhi speak again.

"See you're not looking for Miss Ling,"

Xiao Shuxiang flinched and spontaneously looked around. The white cat he did not see. He just realized it now.

"Where's my White Cat?" Xiao Shuxiang asked and made Yi Wen as well as several disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect circulate a glance to look for the whereabouts of the intended figure.

"..............." Lan Guan Zhi noticed his good friend's reaction and shook his head slowly. He wanted to curse Xiao Shuxiang if he could do it.

Ling Lang Tian once spoke to him and handed Ling Qing Zhu the task of guarding him. This certainly could not be done completely because Ling Qing Zhu's guarding duty was the duty of Xiao Shuxiang.

Lan Guan Zhi was in charge of supervising and making the relationship of his two friends who had become husband and wife could be closer. It's just that it is difficult to do it, especially his good friend is often involved in problems.

In addition, Xiao Shuxiang had a strange habit of being able to forget Ling Qing Zhu when he did not see the girl and would act spoiled when he saw her. Lan Guan Zhi was convinced of this because he had always paid attention to his good friend.

"White Cat? Has anyone seen my White Cat?!" Xiao Shuxiang asked but the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect no one saw him.

"I'll look for him," Mo Huai voiced out and then went to look for Ling Qing Zhu's whereabouts. He was aided by the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect who knew who the 'White Cat' of Xiao Shuxiang was.

On the other hand, Elder Xie Yanran was seen setting his foot. He had now been at the Dao Elder Fang An's place and saluted the man.

Elder Xie Yanran glimpsed Wang Zhao at a glance and this time turned his head to completely confirm what he had just seen. Of course, Elder Xie Yanran was shocked when he realized that Wang Zhao was not only alone, but also together with the daughter who made his sect go through hardships.

"Wang Zhao!!" Elder Xie Yanran suddenly just snapped and made everyone who heard him become startled, including Wang Zhao himself.

Xiao Shuxiang also gasped. He looked at Elder Xie Yanran's eyes which were like they contained anger. He also saw that Elder Xie Yanran was not only staring at Wang Zhao, but was also directing an equally firm look at Hei Lian.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang froze. From what he saw, Elder Xie Yanran clearly knew about the identity of the daughter who was with Wang Zhao now. It would be very bad if the Elder from Zhang Peak Mountain were to tell the truth, let alone in the presence of everyone.
