HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
236 - Journey to the Palace of the Thousand Swords

During the journey towards the Thousand Sword Palace, Ling Qing Zhu continued to be a listener to Xiao Shuxiang. This young man sitting beside him kept talking the entire time and was not tired at all.


What Xiao Shuxiang talked about was mostly just a trivial matter and endless cracks. Ling Qing Zhu was even forced to respond whenever Xiao Shuxiang finished talking.


"Heah .... I'm really tired," Xiao Shuxiang exhaled. "At least, once .... I can live a quiet life. I ... And also you, then the other friends - ah, no. Just you and me,"


"..............." Ling Qing Zhu was breathing slowly, his facial expression and the look in his eyes had not changed at all. It's just that after a long silence, he also opened his voice.


"............. I don't think a life that's always quiet is very good,"


"Mn?" Xiao Shuxiang raised next to his brows, he was astonished. "Whatchu mean? You want to live a life full of danger?"


"............. Occasionally getting into trouble, it's okay."


"Yeah, it could be. After all, living an ever-monotonous life would eventually be boring," Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and said, "You won't have anything to tell your granddaughter about if you keep living without doing anything big,"


"Before having grandchildren, Miss Ling must have children first. How could she have told her granddaughter so much if her own husband had never existed to give her an inner living,"


Xiao Shuxiang and Ling Qing Zhu clearly heard the foreign voice and gasped. They immediately looked towards the coachman who was running this horse carriage and were surprised to see a figure that started to open its red hood.


One of the coachmen running their horse carriage was none other than Liu Wei Lin, while the other was Mo Huai's figure who greeted Xiao Shuxiang so courteously.


Xiao Shuxiang shook his head and then clucked softly, "Tsk. Brother Liu, why are you coming too? Aren't I antagonizing you right now, huh?"


"Come on, Brother Xiao~" Liu Wei Lin smiled and then waved his fan softly, "If my soulmate leaves, how can I stay. In this life .... It is very difficult to find a friend who can. I certainly won't let go of it,"


"Hmph, is that your words directed at me or my White Cat?" xiao Shuxiang's tone of voice sounded like a trick.


Liu Wei Lin exhaled, "Look at that. Your face is full of *loves. What do I see is this just a skit or a real thing, huh?"


"Whatchu mean? You want to start again, huh?"


"Brother Xiao. If you really like Miss Ling, you should do your duty as a husband. Which man leaves his own wife in the crucial moments? Ah no. I noticed you always leave her, is that nice to see?"


Xiao Shuxiang blinked, he felt that Liu Wei Lin was deliberately looking around for his mistake to return to invite himself to a fight. Too bad, he won't be affected this time. Moreover, considering the quarrel in front of Ling Qing Zhu could threaten his safety.


Xiao Shuxiang was breathing slowly and behaving as usual. He said to Liu Wei Lin, "The White Cat only needs to say one word and I will grant whatever she wants,"


"............. You sure?" Ling Qing Zhu opened his voice and was seen staring at the young man sitting beside him.


Xiao Shuxiang blinked and then said, "Of course. Even if you want me to skin Brother Liu right now, I'll do it right away."


"Hey," Liu Wei Li protested. "How can you involve me in your domestic affairs?"


Xiao Shuxiang, "Did you forget that you were the one who started getting involved in the first place? Should I say that you're flirting with my wife?"


"I didn't do it," Liu Wei Lin was startled and immediately defended herself.


Ling Qing Zhu spoke as well. He said calmly, "............. I'm not tempted either because you're still not replaced,"


!!


Liu Wei Lin was surprised to hear that. Mo Huai who had heard something similar also seemed to flinch and then turned to look at the girl who had just spoken. They clearly did not expect a Ling Qing Zhu would speak so.


"White Cat ...." Xiao Shuxiang blinked a few times and directly hugged the anxious girl beside him. That spontaneous action left Ling Qing Zhu shocked.


Liu Wei Lin was involuntarily flabbergasted when he saw Xiao Shuxiang rubbing Ling Qing Zhu's head and hugging the girl very tightly, it felt as if Xiao Shuxiang wanted to crush Miss Ling Qing Zhu's body.


"Brother Xiao, do you intend to kill Miss Ling?!" Liu Wei Lin finally opened his voice. Mo Huai could not hide the pale expression on his face either.


"..............." Ling Qing Zhu was actually anxious to hit Xiao Shuxiang, but even his two hands could not be moved. He was hugged too tightly.


"............. Shuxiang, aren't you ashamed?" Ling Qing Zhu finally opened his voice.


"I hugged my own wife, what's the shame of that?"


"Don't move much, we can fall." Ling Qing Zhu reminded.


"No problem. If it falls, I'll catch you."


Mo Huai shook his head slowly looking at Xiao Shuxiang's behavior. If the young man had been together with Ling Qing Zhu-other people would have been like empty air.


This was the case when Xiao Shuxiang was together with Lan Guan Zhi. It seemed, there was an invisible boundary that prevented figure figures like them from being able to enter into Xiao Shuxiang's world.


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


The journey to the Thousand Sword Palace took a short while and was actually quite dangerous. Liu Wei Lin and the other cultivators in the horse carriage were supposed to feel wary.


But as it happens, compared to the tension-the-journey is actually very pleasant. Even Liu Wei Lin himself felt no danger to the extent that these horses pulled the carriage he was riding with his companions.


Honestly, it's not really a surprise. Including for Xiao Shuxiang. That dazzling young man had already changed the atmosphere to be so friendly.


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


Some dangers had actually once been eyeing the carriage of Liu Wei Lin and his companions. But it undoed its intentions when it saw the figure of Xiao Shuxiang sitting on the roof of the horse carriage.


It is true that the practice of the Destroying Star is weak now that its power is sealed. But the aura that made the heart tremble was still very concentrated out of him. Only creatures with strong instincts knew how frightening the young man they were looking at was.


Xiao Shuxiang might look ordinary and seemed to be focusing more on Ling Qing Zhu, but the truth was that he was keeping an eye on the surrounding conditions and knew that another, more powerful danger was within his own carriage.


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


It was not a foreign figure, the danger was none other than Hei Lian. The little girl had regained all her memories.


Hei Lian was initially surprised because she could get this close to Wang Zhao, when she should have finished off this young man's life and searched for Meng Hao Niang's whereabouts. His job was only to kill two people who were somehow so difficult to do so.


When Hei Lian wanted to launch the action, suddenly something bad happened. He felt a pain in his stomach and it was not his usual pain.


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


Hey Lian had always felt this kind of thing if she wanted to bring out her technique. He could only pretend when Wang Zhao asked him about his condition.


Hey Lian was forced to undo the intention and try to find time to go back to doing something. He was really upset because during the trip to the Thousand Sword Palace, he could not act as he pleased.


Hei Lian's forehead shriveled, she was impassive. "What has that man really done to me? Why is it that every time I want to bring out my stomach-techniques like I'm being stirred strongly. This .... What exactly is going on?! Fuckin."
