HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
241 - Commence Closed Training

The resentment that previously felt like a burning fire slowly began to weaken. Ling Qing Zhu was hugged tightly and separated only by warmth as well as layers of clothing.


This kind of warmth can settle to the roots of the bones and make anyone drown if a touch does not surprise him.


Xiao Shuxiang kissed Ling Qing Zhu on the cheek. He took advantage of the fact that the girl beside him had yet to react. He even stopped teasing Ling Qing Zhu to make sure this girl did not take any distance from him.


Ling Qing Zhu had a beautiful face and others could not take their eyes off the heavenly beauty. Unfortunately, this beauty can only be seen without being enjoyed.


"Shuxiang, release-"


"You're gonna miss me, right?"


Ling Qing Zhu gasped at the heavy sound. He was stunned when he was sure that there was a slightly sad tone heard.


Could it be that Xiao Shuxiang was indeed unhappy parting with him?


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


The absence of rebellion from his White Cat made Xiao Shuxiang silently pout a smile. He had indeed deliberately changed his tone to sound pitiful. It was also quite decent to deal with a girl of the type who was like Ling Qing Zhu.


Xiao Shuxiang buried his face in the crevice of Ling Qing Zhu's neck. His voice trembled slightly and whispered, "White Cat, you didn't answer me. Are you gonna miss me?"


Ling Qing Zhu was stunned. The way his Guardian Guardians whined this was like a spoiled child. He did not know where Xiao Shuxiang studied it all and what was even worse .... He felt something wet on his skin.


This .... Is Xiao Shuxiang crying?


"Shuxiang"


"Don't move," Xiao Shuxiang spontaneously interjected. His voice was slow as he said, "Don't look..."


Ling Qing Zhu gasped, yet did not say anything. He is calm like water. But at some point in time, he started to extend a hand and then touched Xiao Shuxiang's head.


Ling Qing Zhu stroked the soft hair of the Young Man who was hugging him subconsciously that it was actually a figure he thought was crying-not actually doing that.


Xiao Shuxiang was enjoying this time, a time where his White Cat was nothing like a temple cat that was just silent while exposing its claws.


Xiao Shuxiang did not want to rush over. After all, now her relationship with this girl is one step closer. He did not want to take any rash action that could have messed things up.


"White Cat," Xiao Shuxiang said softly. "Can I ask you something?"


"............. What do you want?"


"Don't tell anyone that I'm going to do closed-door training. Can you?"


Ling Qing Zhu was speechless before returning to say, "Why do you want to keep this a secret?"


"........... Can I not answer it? I don't want to lie, White Cat. Just trust me and do what I say. Can, right?"


Ling Qing Zhu took a breath and then exhaled slowly. He also nodded in response.

In the evening, Xiao Shuxiang returned to meet Elder Chen Duan Shan. The elder from the Thousand Sword Palace had long been waiting for him.


"Are you ready?" Elder Chen Duan Shan asked which one Xiao Shuxiang was nodding to.


"I'm ready,"


"alright. We leave now," Elder Chen Duan Shan walked up followed by the dazzling young man behind him.


Xiao Shuxiang was brought into a room that had a ceramic floor with a bluish-white feel. He also circulated his gaze and saw quite a number of paintings of Haitang flowers in this room.


"Chairman Chen-" Xiao Shuxiang was just about to ask as he pared his intentions after seeing the move made by Elder Chen Duan Shan.


The white-robed man used a hand seal to slide the ceramic floor until a basement was created. Elder Chen Duan Shan exhaled and then started walking down.


"Come here," Elder Chen Duan Shan spoke without turning his head towards the young man behind him.


"Chairman Chen? Where are we actually going?" Xiao Shuxiang asked and remained following Elder Chen Duan Shan's footsteps.


"We're going to my old residence. A place where you can train without anyone's interference," Elder Chen Duan Shan replied and then asked, "Have you told your wife?"


"Mn, the White Cat allowed it. I also asked him to keep a secret about my training. Elder Chen, can you also not tell this to anyone?"


"Thank you," Xiao Shuxiang took a look around. There were lanterns along the way and he occasionally came across glowing flying insects.


This condition made him guess that this underground room was connected to the forest and it turned out to be true.


While at the end of the tunnel, Xiao Shuxiang was immediately greeted with a view of lush trees illuminated by the moonlight. Even when his feet touch the grass - there are many glowing insects flying.


"Chairman Chen," Xiao Shuxiang suddenly opened his voice. "You didn't bring me here to kill me, did you?"


Elder Chen Duan Shan gasped and he turned his head. He said, "That's impossible. Why do you think that?"


"Yes .... Because this place is quiet, away from the crowds of people. Moreover, too many large trees and too lush. Perhaps the scenery is beautiful and reconciling, but like a saying--'Even a calm lake hides danger'."


Elder Chen Duan Shan shook his head slowly and said, "This place I rarely visit. The trees are intentional. Although no one knows, it's good to be on guard. I purposely kept my residence hidden,"


Elder Chen Duan Shan walked over and Xiao Shuxiang continued to follow behind him. There were many animal noises at night and quite a trip companion of Xiao Shuxiang.


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


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


After a long while of walking, Elder Chen Duan Shan and Xiao Shuxiang arrived at a quite large residence. The house with a large front yard and there is a fish pond where a bridge stretches in the middle of the pond.


Xiao Shuxiang did not hide his admiration. He saw Elder Chen Duan Shan shaking his hands slowly and the torrents and lanterns around the building before him started to light up.


"This is my old residence," Elder Chen Duan Shan said. "From now on you will live and study in this place,"


"Chairman Chen ...." Xiao Shuxiang instantly lunged at Elder Chen Duan Shan and tightly hugged the old man. His actions were shocking and unpredictable.


"You-you," Elder Chen Duan Shan was so shocked. He had never imagined that this dazzling young man would embrace her so tightly.


Xiao Shuxiang said happily, "You're very kind, Elder. In the Cloud Sea Sect, I only got an old bamboo hut that turned out to be used as a water and wood storage warehouse."


Xiao Shuxiang said, "The hut is even very narrow and not worth living in. But you're a very good elder, you're different from the old jackfruit shitty and smelly dirt."


As Xiao Shuxiang mentioned the word, the 'old stinky ground frame'-the facial expression he displayed looked unkind. It felt as if he was indeed upset when he remembered it.


Elder Chen Duan Shan smiled and then patted Xiao Shuxiang's back lightly. He said, "You don't bully an old man like that. Come on in,"


"Alright," Xiao Shuxiang smiled. He began to be introduced to all the places that were in Elder Chen's residence Duan Shan.


This location has a backyard filled with various medicinal plants that are actually not maintained. There are a lot of wild grasses that look so distracting.


Elder Chen Duan Shan now began to take Xiao Shuxiang to a waterfall lake that was not far from his residence. There are many water butterflies in this place and it adds to the beauty of this location.


"The Great Waterfall of Healing ..." Elder Chen Duan Shan placed his hands behind his waist and said, "This place will be the location of your first practice,"


Seeing the young man beside him suddenly just frowning made Elder Chen Duan Shan exhale. He said, "You're going to start at that waterfall. Take off your clothes and try to sit cross-legged under the waterfall. The pressure you feel will work and benefit you."


"..............." Xiao Shuxiang stared for quite a while at Elder Chen Duan Shan before starting to do as this white-robed man asked.


Xiao Shuxiang simply undressed his upper half and started darting towards the waterfall. He stood on a rock and was shocked because the pressure of this water was quite strong, let alone this waterfall was extremely cold.


"Chief Chen--"


"It's okay," Elder Chen Duan Shan interrupted, "Do it. Your training begins tonight. Cold air is good for the beginning,"


Xiao Shuxiang heard the man's words and then began to sit cross-legged. Elder Chen Duan Shan then asked him to recite the first silk of soul control.


As Xiao Shuxiang began to focus on training, Hei Lian, who was far away elsewhere, seemed to notice Wang Zhao's sword practice.


There were several thousand Sword Palace junior disciples who were the same age as him and they had been clinging to him since. Hei Lian did not say anything and just focused on seeing Wang Zhao train.


Although his face looked so innocent, yet Hei Lian strongly condemned his current state.


Right now, his enemy was in plain sight and even absorbing spiritual energy from nature he could not do so. I don't know what's going on.


Hei Lian breathed slowly and then started clenching her hands, "Although now I can't kill you, but my presence here will still benefit the Demon Valley Sect."


Hei Lian secretly smiled faintly, "Qiao Nuan JieJie will be able to see you from these eyes. We're connected,"


Hey Lian said, "Wait a minute. Not long time .... The Thousand Swords Palace would suffer the same fate as the Cloud Sea Sect. I will make sure that this place will be your funeral and all of you, including Xiao Shuxiang."
