HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
234 - Cloud Sea Sect (4)

The situation at the location affected by the Hei Lian attack was trying to be corrected. The injured pupils were treated well, including those whose body parts melted due to exposure to acidic fluids.

From this could be seen the true skill of Elder Meng Hao Niang. The woman who had been drinking only wine from her lab jug and drunkenness now looked so serious.

Elder Meng Hao Niang only needed to use his spiritual energy to treat the injured cultivator. He didn't even need to take out his extremely famous Immortal Pill.

"It looks like your best friend has treated your wounds ..." Elder Meng Hao Niang said as he examined Lan Guan Zhi's hand, only that his tone contained a plunge.

One of the female disciples from the Cloud Sea Sect heard him and said, "That Xiao Shuxiang only saw Young Master Lan's hand. Heals it he doesn't even do."

"That's right, he's a real bitch." The other students argued.

"..............." Lan Guan Zhi himself did not seem to care much. He thought more about where his good friend had gone and Ling Qing Zhu's current whereabouts.

Elder Meng Hao Niang did not reply to the remark from the disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect just now. He focused on draining spiritual energy to treat the wound on Lan Guan Zhi's hand and slowly the wound began to heal.

Elder Meng Hao Niang actually knew that the acid wounds from Hei Lian could not be treated carelessly. He was honestly quite impressed since Xiao Shuxiang did not force himself to take care of Lan Guan Zhi's injuries because if it was mishandled just a little - then the impact would be very bad.

For the injuries caused by this acid indeed only Elder Meng Hao Niang knew how to treat it. Even firmly the woman did not let the other disciples help.

The elder Chu Sheng Nan who had just arrived had now appeared to be helping the other elders to organize their disciples. The wounded gathered in the space provided, while the well-behaved disciple was asked to tidy up the room for recovery.

Crazy Beggar Boy and Yi Wen were also seen helping out. Their abilities stunned the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect.

When Xiao Shuxiang came, he did not remain silent either. He saw that there was still a lot of mist containing acid and decided to do something that made everyone surprised.

Without warning, Xiao Shuxiang started to stomp his feet and then used a technique that could make the ground lift.

!!?

Elder Dao Fang An and the entire disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect, including the Mad Beggar Boy looked extremely shocked. The ground they were poking on suddenly just shook and not a few thought this was another attack from the enemy.

"Master Xiao, what are you doing?!" Wang Zhao could not hide his surprise. The ground that was where the buildings of the Cloud Sea Sect stood was raised ten meters high, right before him.

Hey Lian was just as shocked. In the blink of an eye, what he saw now looked like a hill. He was flabbergasted and stared in disbelief at this dazzling young man.

Xiao Shuxiang himself seemed not at all amazed by what he was doing, just like he was not too satisfied with the results of his technique.

"I thought I could make it higher, but it's hard to do that with my current practice."

"Master Xiao ...." Wang Zhao gave a pale expression. He even had trouble swallowing. He stammered as he asked, "What are ya-who you're currently doing?"

"We must avoid the remaining acid fog. The disciples were there and no one put up a barrier. I can only do this, or do you have any other advice?"

Wang Zhao blinked and then shook his head. The expression on the face of the young man he saw seemed ordinary and like he was not doing anything big.

In fact, lifting this kind of land and creating hills is not an easy technique. Even Wang Zhao was certain that even his Shizun would be unthinkable to do something as amazing as this.

"Mr Xiao. Actually, how far is your strength...? Why I feel .... That's something immeasurable,"

"Alright, now help me get up there. I used too much power and couldn't move,"

"What?" Wang Zhao was surprised. He would indeed not be able to understand Xiao Shuxiang.

When he began to understand the person of this handsome young man, then at that moment he could not understand it.

One question succeeded Wang Zhao to find the answer, but at the same time he found another question.

A figure with an immeasurable personality. Personals that are hard to guess. A person who keeps a lot of secrets and personal with all its uniqueness. Xiao Shuxiang was indeed not the same as the people that Wang Zhao used to meet. He actually met such an incredible figure.

"It's lifted..!"

A cry from a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect shocked the other disciples. They began to rush to the edge and were surprised when they were sure that the ground they were on was completely lifted.

"Chairman Wang, is this also an attack from the enemy?" a disciple asked Elder Wang Jing Li. His heart was pounding incoherently at this moment.

Elder Wang Jing Li took a breath, "I don't feel any danger. This .... I don't think it was an enemy attack,"

That Cloud Sea Sect disciple was about to speak back when he saw the flying sword that floated towards him. He gasped when he knew the person riding the sword was Wang Zhao. The young man even brought two people with him.

Elder Dao Fang An also saw it, he who had since been seen discussing something with Elder Liu Lang also began to approach Wang Zhao.

"Shizun," Wang Zhao saluted as he looked at Elder Dao Fang An. He also saluted Elder Wang Jing Li and Elder Liu Lang.

Elder Wang Jing Li muttered in return for respect, while Elder Liu Lang nodded softly as a sign that he received that respectful greeting.

Elder Dao Fang An took a breath and began to ask Wang Zhao's state. He was a little unsettled before being able to hear for himself the answer from this young man.

Elder Dao Fang An asked, "You're fine, right?"

Wang Zhao nodded, "I'm fine, Shizun. What about yourself?"

"Mn, not too bad." Elder Dao Fang An walked over and held onto Wang Zhao's shoulder. He said, "I want to talk to you."

?!

Wang Zhao flinched, he nodded softly upon seeing how serious this face of his Shizun was. Elder Dao Fang An was not as ordinary and it was likely that there was something important to discuss.

Wang Zhao held onto Hei Lian's hand and then followed where Elder Dao Fang An had taken him. He slightly turned towards Xiao Shuxiang who turned out that the young man had already left and was seen calling out to his White Cat.

Wang Zhao exhaled and then shook his head slowly. He then turned to look at Elder Dao Fang An who had been silent since then and seemed to look at the little girl who was with him.

"Shizun, what do you want to talk about?" Wang Zhao asked first out of concern if Elder Dao Fang An first asked Hei Lian's identity.

"I want to talk to you alone" Elder Dao Fang An looked back at Hei Lian and then said, "This child you brought .... Who's she?"

?!

In the end, I couldn't escape the question. Wang Zhao exhaled and then opened his voice, "Hey Lian's name. He .... That's Shizun, I ...."

Elder Dao Fang An frowned when he noticed the nervousness of this young man. He had lived with Wang Zhao for a long time and knew the true character of this child.

If Wang Zhao could behave like that, then it proved that the identity of the little girl he brought was no ordinary person.

Elder Dao Fang An blinked, more or less he could already understand the situation. Wang Zhao certainly couldn't possibly tell the truth, right in front of Hei Lian.

"..............." Elder Dao Fang An took a breath and placed his hand behind his back. He began to say, "I've already discussed this with elder Liu Lang .... You and Xiao Shuxiang will go to the Thousand Swords Palace,"

"Shizun," Wang Zhao gasped.

"I knew. You must be wondering about this," Elder Dao Fang An said, "I've thought about it. We'll speed up your teaching,"

Elder Dao Fang An said, "After what happened .... The news that this sect had been attacked would definitely spread. We have already lost many people and this sect cannot be the biggest one back. It takes a long time to recover, as before,"

"..............." Wang Zhao bowed. He had trouble swallowing his saliva, his expression clearly felt guilty.

"Don't blame yourself," Dao Elder Fang An said calmly, he seemed to be aware of what Wang Zhao was feeling right now. "The bad character you have is that you always blame yourself for everything that's happened."

"But .... This sect couldn't have become what it is today if it wasn't for me,"

"It's not like that." Elder Dao Fang An said, "Although you don't live here. This place will still be the target of attack. If anyone should feel guilty, it would be me and the elders. We .... With the power that it is now still unable to protect this place,"

"Shizun, that's not true. Please don't feel guilty,"

"..............." Hey Lian frowned. He had been paying attention since then and Wang Zhao had indeed called this foreign old man as 'Shizun'.

He watched the circumstances around him and listened to the conversation between Wang Zhao and this old man without intending to join the conversation.

"White Cat..! Where have you been?!" Xiao Shuxiang was finally able to find Ling Qing Zhu. The white-haired girl had just stepped on the ground and was followed by Liu Wei Lin.

Xiao Shuxiang gasped to see that Ling Qing Zhu did not come alone. "What does this mean? Why is Brother Liu also with you?"

Yi Wen looked at Xiao Shuxiang and then nudged the Crazy Beggar Boy. He said, "Something seems to be up there. Come,"

"He-hey..! Let go of my hand, ouch..!" The Crazy Beggar Boy gasped as it was pulled by Yi Wen just like that. He heard a voice from Liu Wei Lin.

"Brother, don't think of anything that's not. I saved Miss Ling, that's all." Liu Wei Lin attempted to give an explanation.

Xiao Shuxiang snorted. "Brother Liu, did you see that sunrise? You and the White Cat are coming from that direction. Who knew you guys were gone all night and just came back. Should I say my thoughts at this time?"

"..............." Ling Qing Zhu was aware that his Guardian was looking for a quarrel with Liu Wei Lin. He breathed slowly and extended his hand.

Xiao Shuxiang turned his head when his hand was held by his White Cat. He looked at Ling Qing Zhu and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Young Master Liu only helped me,"

"White Cat.." Xiao Shuxiang rubbed Ling Qing Zhu's head and softly said. "I believe you, but I don't believe him at all. What if Brother Liu does something you're not doing?"

Liu Wei Lin blinked, he opened his red fan and shook his head with an incredulous expression. Although he admitted that he was very interested in Ling Qing Zhu, but he was not a jerk. He also has self-respect.

Ling Qing Zhu said without a tone, "Young Master Liu did nothing. He just carried me,"

!!!

Liu Wei Lin nearly fell down due to Ling Qing Zhu's toneless speech. She had just avoided saying anything that made Xiao Shuxiang's mood go bad, but instead this girl said it briefly and caused a misunderstanding.

"Liu Wei Lin..!" Xiao Shuxiang exclaimed, "White Cat. Hold me or I'll actually hit him,"

Xiao Shuxiang hugged Ling Qing Zhu's waist and kicked his legs towards Liu Wei Lin. The problem is, the behavior is like a child who wants to fight but is also afraid to do it.

"Brother Xiao," Liu Wei Lin sighed softly and closed his fan, "I-"

"You what?" Xiao Shuxiang interjected, "Do you want to keep a secret about you touching my White Cat? You're this-"

"Hey, who touched it?" Liu Wei Lin interrupted and actually started to get annoyed, "What I did was just carry your wife, when did I touch her?!"

"Huh, do you think holding it doesn't touch? You really want to get hit, yeah..! Even your own friend's wife would take it, you..!"

"Brother Xiao, I am patient with you. You don't provoke my emotions or I won't stay still either" Liu Wei Lin closed his fan and turned to ask one of his brothers to help him.

"The two of you should not quarrel," the Mad Beggar Boy began to stand between Xiao Shuxiang and Liu Wei Lin. He had just had good intentions to break up the two young men but precisely what happened was that his butt got a kick from Xiao Shuxiang.

"Surge or I'll hit you,"

"Shuxiang, you've hit..!" The Crazy Beggar Boy almost attacked if not immediately restrained by Yi Wen.

The quarrels of these three youths attracted the attention of the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect. Some were shocked because both Liu Wei Lin, Xiao Shuxiang and the Crazy Beggar Boy uttered harsh words.

There are also those who want to break up, but actually get a kick. On the other hand, Ling Qing Zhu was jolted because his head was hit by a childish fight between his Guardian Guard and these two young men.

"..............." Ling Qing Zhu's eyes became colder than usual and he pulled Baiyi out.

!!!

In that instant, three lightning strikes suddenly emerged from the ground and shocked everyone. The Mad Beggar Boy, Liu Wei Lin even Xiao Shuxiang spontaneously retreated and was in heavy shock with what befell them.

Crazy Beggar Boy was shocked not to play, his facial expression was pale as the lightning strike had almost hit something most precious in his life.

Liu Wei Lin and Xiao Shuxiang were shocked. 'Their 'Future' was almost threatened due to the sudden lightning bolt. Feels .... Their hearts almost jumped out in the ears.

The three young men subconsciously held their breaths and began to stare at the girl who had already given an unexpected attack that almost changed their identity to eunuch.

Yi Wen opened his mouth wide. That one just barely. He stared at the figure that gave the attack earlier and was none other than Ling Qing Zhu himself.

Yi Wen blinked, she had trouble swallowing. It was unexpected that Ling Qing Zhu who was as calm as water could be this dangerous. Moreover, the attack just now was definitely not a scare. It felt as if the white-haired girl was actually targeting to castrate these three young men.

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

No one knows this little secret. Ling Qing Zhu was actually not a problem about anything else, let alone when his foot was stepped on or his hand was injured. But it will be different if there is a story that makes his hair fall apart.

For those who come from a family surnamed 'Ling', hair that is white when young and will turn black at dusk is a characteristic that not everyone can have.

Because of this privilege, of course Ling Qing Zhu valued her hair very much. After all, this also includes a crown for women and the courage of these young men to damage it. Very sassy!
