HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
233 - Elder Xie Yanran (2)

Traitors. It was that word that was currently in the mind of Elder Xie Yanran. He thought about it and was convinced that Wang Zhao had already colluded with Hei Lian.


"I'd guess. Treated however, the snake will still produce can. He was fed anything, would eventually bite his own 'Master." Elder Xie Yanran gave a bad expression as he looked at Wang Zhao.


Elder Xie Yanran said in a cold tone, "This is my fault. Things wouldn't be this bad if on that day I just finished you-"


"Chairman Xie," Xiao Shuxiang interrupted. "You seem to have misunderstood-"


"What do you know?" Elder Xie Yanran stared intently at the young man who had already dared to interrupt his words.


This attitude of the Elder from Peak Mountain Zhang stole a lot of attention, even Elder Dao Fang An was seen frowning as he felt there was tension between Elder Xie Yanran and Xiao Shuxiang.


"You don't know this guy very well, you're just a newcomer." Elder Xie Yanran said, "You who don't know anything should just shut up. This young man---!"


"He's better than me" Xiao Shuxiang smiled. He shocked everyone with his actions that suddenly smothered Elder Xie Yanran's mouth.


In fact, the elder who had a body like a daughter was shocked by Xiao Shuxiang's actions. He didn't expect to be attacked this way.


"Mr Xiao..." Wang Zhao did not have time to act, his facial expression pale as he looked at the bold action the dazzling young man had taken.


Xiao Shuxiang said softly to Elder Xie Yanran. He said, "Didn't Wang Zhao never do anything like this to you? Among us, which is better?"


"..............." Elder Xie Yanran was trying to rebel. The look in his eyes seemed to signal that if the clot on his mouth was not removed-he would instantly break away by force.


"Chairman Xie, we really need to talk ...." Xiao Shuxiang glanced at Wang Zhao before leaving while carrying Elder Xie Yanran with him.


The Mad Beggar Boy, Yi Wen and the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect were astonished to see Xiao Shuxiang and Elder Xie Yanran who were now getting further away. They didn't even have time to react.


Wang Zhao grabbed Hei Lian's hand and then followed Xiao Shuxiang. They were currently in a place quite far away from the people and Xiao Shuxiang started to release his hands.


"Bad..!" Elder Xie Yanran immediately snapped and voiced in a harsh tone, "How dare you treat me like this. The child does not know himself..!"


"Calm down, Elder Xie. I have a reason you need to hear first, so please calm down..." Xiao Shuxiang tried to speak.


Elder Xie Yanran tightly clenched his hands together, he looked still irritated and even snapped when he told Xiao Shuxiang to speak.


"Tell me what you want to say," Elder Xie Yanran's voice was so cold and stifling. He made Wang Zhao gulp and Hei Lian herself became startled.


Xiao Shuxiang took a breath and then said softly, "I'll say it briefly. Wang Zhao didn't do what you were accused of. He helped me face the person who attacked this sect and managed to defeat him,"


"You beat him? Then why do I see she is still alive and so familiar with you guys?!" Elder Xie Yanran stared intently at Hei Lian and did not hide his killing lust.


Xiao Shuxiang re-opened his voice, "What the Elder saw was none other than the effect of Miss Zhang Xiao Lian's potion that I was trying to update. I made him drink it and what happened was quite surprising,"


Xiao Shuxiang said, "Don't just forget about his actions on this sect .... He even called Wang Zhao his Gege. I had to accept it, too,"


"..............." Elder Xie Yanran stared at Hei Lian who was seen holding tightly onto Wang Zhao's hand and seemed to be timid towards him.


Elder Xie Yanran crossed his arms and then said, "You did explain it briefly. But Zhang Xiao Lian's potion is-"


"Love banquet, Miss Xiao Lian herself said it." Xiao Shuxiang interrupted again and then said, "Then about Wang Zhao .... I was a little help him take off some roots on his dantian."


Elder Xie Yanran heard that and looked towards Xiao Shuxiang. His tone was still less pleasant to hear as he said, "You helped him overcome the roots on his dantian. But you're not helping yourself to overcome that seal you have. Should I call you too kind or stupid, huh?"


Xiao Shuxiang exhaled, "Chairman Xie. There's a difference between us. The seal I have can't just come off. If that's easy to do, I don't need anyone's help to deal with the enemy."


"Hmph, cocky." Elder Xie Yanran snorted, he turned to Wang Zhao and told the young man to take Hei Lian away.


Wang Zhao flinched, while Hei Lian looked puzzled. Elder Xie Yanran said he needed to discuss something with Xiao Shuxiang that it was good not to be heard by Hei Lian.


Wang Zhao understood. He held the hand of the little girl beside him and then started walking away. Hey Lian herself seemed to not understand the situation she was currently in.


When Wang Zhao and Hei Lian were already getting further away, Elder Xie Yanran said. "You better remember this one thing. Xiao Lian's potion had a time limit. If the short guy starts to wake up, then I don't have to say what could happen."


Elder Xie Yanran's tone of voice sounded a little threatening, but Xiao Shuxiang's countenance did not change at all. He doesn't seem surprised.


Xiao Shuxiang said, "Chairman Xie. I understand your concern, I also thought the same thing. But you can rest easy, because even if the little girl regains her consciousness-she won't be able to take another's life again."


Elder Xie Yanran flinched, he stared deeply at Xiao Shuxiang and then asked. "What do you mean?"


"Don't you ever think, that as low as any cultivation technique of an alchemist-he would still be respected. It is this position that is considered the true 'Half of Gods. We saved lives and could have taken them. Even the ruler would be very disinclined,"


A single smile was seen on Xiao Shuxiang's handsome face. He crossed his arms and then said, "I'll show you .... How the power submits under my feet."


Elder Xie Yanran flinched as the young man who should still give him an explanation actually sauntered away. He had not even gotten any information on how Hei Lian would not be able to kill others despite having already regained her consciousness.


"Xiao Shuxiang's..! You can't just leave. Back here..!" Elder Xie Yanran clucked in annoyance as the young man did not care at all about his exclamation.


Elder Xie Yanran took a breath and looked at Xiao Shuxiang's increasingly distant back, "Hopefully what you said is true. If something like this happens because of that short guy, then you're the first person I'm gonna finish."


It was no other reason Elder Xie Yanran was willing to let Hei Lian off. This was because of Xiao Shuxiang's figure and the great confidence of the young man. After all, Elder Xie Yanran could see what no one else could.


About this Xiao Shuxiang .... The personality he has is very contradictory to the aura that comes from within himself.

"Zhao Gege's? What exactly is this place?" Hey Lian started to open the sound. Previously he had remained silent because he was still confused and the circumstances around him were so strange.


Wang Zhao looked at the little girl walking beside him and then said, "This place is the Cloud Sea Sect."


"What?" Hey Lian flinched, "Why are we here? This is not our home. Zhao Gege, let's go home."


Hey Lian knew the Cloud Sea Sect, it was one of the great colleges and came from the White Stream. This place is not their home.


"Lian'Er, you really don't remember anything?" Wang Zhao asked with a sad look on his face. He felt pity, but either this was aimed at the little girl beside him or at this sect and himself.


"What ... What does Zhao Gege mean?" Hey Lian asked, his facial expression looked like he did not know anything.


"..............." Wang Zhao stared inside this little girl and then said, "You've already attacked this place. Look at the situation around you. Do you still not remember?"


Hey Lian jerked. He circulated his gaze and indeed this place was in a bad state. There were many trees that seemed to burn, even the grass that he pitched was seen in the same condition.


"This ...."


"..............." Wang Zhao watched Hei Lian and felt that this little girl had already forgotten everything she had done.


"Zhao Gege's .... What me-!" Hei Lian was shocked as her shoulder was touched by Wang Zhao, she looked up when she looked at the face of this young man.


"Not to think about. This .... It's not your fault" Wang Zhao tried to smile. He was actually heavy when he said that none of this was Hei Lian's fault, that was clearly not true.


Hei Lian should be responsible to Elder Dao Fang An and the Cloud Sea Sect. But if you think about it, this little girl could not have done so if she had not been hiding in this place.


Little or much, Wang Zhao also had a hand in making the Cloud Sea Sect come under attack. He should also be responsible.


"Zhao Gege ...." Hei Lian looked still confused, thinking that Wang Zhao was blaming him. He thought this young man was angry over a mistake he did not remember.


Wang Zhao was about to speak again when he heard Xiao Shuxiang's voice coming from behind him.


"You go too far, let's go back." Xiao Shuxiang invited Wang Zhao to go to Elder Dao Fang An's place. He had at least spoken to elder Xie Yanran and was certain that the elder from Zhang Peak Mountain would not reveal Hei Lian's identity.


Wang Zhao walked up to Xiao Shuxiang and then walked with the young man. His hand held Hei Lian's.


Wang Zhao said, "How is elder Xie Yanran? What is he .... Saying something?"


"What else can he do besides talk. She doesn't look adorable at all,"


Wang Zhao gasped at Xiao Shuxiang's words and then gulped. He smiled bitterly, "Elder Xie Yanran can kill you if you say such a thing, right before him."


Xiao Shuxiang snorted and then crossed his arms, "The point is that now elder Xie will not say anything about this child. But .... Is it possible that elder Meng Hao Niang recognized the boy you were holding?"


Wang Zhao nodded slowly, "Chairman Meng knows. This is also my other concern. I actually .... Want to hide Hey Lian,"


"Zhao Gege?" Hey Lian flinched when she heard her name called. During this time, his attention had always been fixed with the figure walking with Wang Zhao, he had not listened to anything else.


Xiao Shuxiang said, "It is better not to hide. Such an act would even add to suspicion,"


"But elder Meng ...."


"The drunken woman will definitely not recognize him. And even if he can recognize this boy right away, there's still you. Bring him to be always near you, we'll explain everything to elder Meng later."


Wang Zhao was still worried, yet he was trying to believe. Xiao Shuxiang definitely had a plan and given the nature of elder Meng Hao Niang, he was not the type of person who would instantly give an unexpected attack just like that.
