HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
265 - Rouyue

Lan Guan Zhi held a blood-red fox mask. The mask looks cracked, but anyone who has memories with it will be able to recognize it.

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

Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi looked at each other. The atmosphere around the two people seemed tense. Even without speaking, they knew the owner of the mask.

Xiao Shuxiang was breathing slowly, he opened his voice first. "Isn't this impossible? How did he get to this place?"

"..............." Lan Guan Zhi shook his head slowly, he did not know about it either and could not give an answer to his good friend's question.

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled heavily and said, "The matter with the Demon Valley Sect is not finished yet. Then the matter with the Ghost Valley Sect, even the Sun Killer Book. Now comes another new problem. Haaa .... It's amazing,"

Xiao Shuxiang shook his head softly, "Is being a good person a very liked problem? I feel like I'm actually dating a problem almost every day,"

"..............." Lan Guan Zhi was breathing slowly. His best friend started again.

Xiao Shuxiang said, "I admit. I am very handsome, charming, charming and extraordinary. My talent is incapable of being described, everyone deserves to be envious. But isn't this outrageous?"

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

"In the past, it was me who always made a fuss with others. If this was karma for what I did in those days, wouldn't I have made it up to you? I am learning to be a good person now. No longer making trouble for others, but why does Heaven still like to play tricks on me so much? Is it because I'm too awesome?"

Lan Guan Zhi said without a tone, "It doesn't mean to change the person for good then you will pass it easily. You're strong, so the sky's testing you."

"But this is outrageous once," Xiao Shuxiang grabbed onto Lan Guan Zhi's arm and embraced her, he said. "L-Yuan. I can't do it alone, so can you help me?"

"............ Mn," Lan Guan Zhi muttered softly. Even without Xiao Shuxiang asking for anything, he would still help this good friend of his.

"We better go to Ye City," Lan Guan Zhi said without a tone.

Xiao Shuxiang looked at his good friend and said, "What are we going there for? The kidnapped girls are long gone. And again ... I feel that the citizens of that city will not want to listen to our explanation. I don't like them myself,"

"But there are parents waiting for news of his daughter,"

"Content .... If this is a trap that the Ghost Valley Sect designed, then doesn't it mean that the information we get is a lie?" Xiao Shuxiang said, "I'm actually suspicious of the citizens of that city. If the abduction of their daughters has been going on for a very long time, why are the townspeople asking for help now? I can't help but suspect them,"

Xiao Shuxiang's words were correct, Lan Guan Zhi had no complaints about that. He followed his good friend into the moving mirror formed in the air. The two arrived at the Thousand Sword Palace.

Lan Guan Zhi flickered with where he was right now. He looked around and was sure that this place was his room in the Thousand Swords Palace.

"Have you regained control of your Moving Mirror?" Lan Guan Zhi asked because he felt that his best friend did not seem to have any trouble removing the Moving Mirror like before.

Xiao Shuxiang shook his head softly, "This is not completely. My moving mirror now has a distance limit. I have to remove about two more seals if I want to wear them at will,"

Lan Guan Zhi walked to the place where his sitting table was. He took a slow breath and rested in a seated manner with a calm demeanor.

"Ah, Lan Zhi..!" Xiao Shuxiang suddenly remembered something. He approached his best friend and said, "I haven't asked you this before, how do I look now?"

"..............." Lan Guan Zhi saw his good friend smiling and so excited. He did not at all think that Xiao Shuxiang would ask this kind of triviality.

"A-Yuan, don't shut me up. Let's say something?" Xiao Shuxiang sat down before his good friend, waiting for an answer.

"............. You're charming,"

"Right, that's for sure." Xiao Shuxiang smiled happily and made Lan Guan Zhi shake her head slowly.

It had been expected earlier, the Alchemist Chef indeed could not be given a little praise - he would definitely be head over heels.

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and said, "Initially I didn't like to wear mourning clothes like this, but since elder Chen kept forcing me to wear them-I got used to it as well."

"Isn't that good?" Lan Guan Zhi said calmly, "You look different."

Xiao Shuxiang smiled, "Do you like it?"

"............. How are you?"

Xiao Shuxiang blinked, not expecting that his good friend would ask such a question.

Xiao Shuxiang said, "I like it."

"Mn, great." Lan Guan Zhi was breathing slowly. To him, Xiao Shuxiang should not make himself do something he disliked. But because his good friend said 'like', then he did not have any complaints anymore.

"A-Yuan, you think ... Can I be like you?" Xiao Shuxiang opened his voice and was seen propping up his chin with both hands. His words made Lan Guan Zhi look at him.

"You want to be like me?"

"Mn, elder Chen Duan Shan had always been confounding your name. I was so upset that I had to imagine it," Xiao Shuxiang said, "Chairman Chen said that I have much to learn from you. At least, a little bit of your personality could decline on me. Isn't that a bitch?"

Lan Guan Zhi shook his head and then said without a tone, "You just need to focus on practicing. Others need not be thought about,"

"Mc ... But I was curious about something," Xiao Shuxiang muttered. He reached out and said, "A-Yuan. Lend me your forehead ribbon for a second"

"What are you doing?" Lan Guan Zhi spontaneously restrained her best friend's wrist and made Xiao Shuxiang flinch.

"A-Yuan, I just want to borrow your forehead ribbon. Are you starting to sting me?" Xiao Shuxiang stretched out his one hand, but was also held back and held tightly by his good friend.

"Shuxiang," Lan Guan Zhi could not believe the young man before her was starting to behave disrespectfully again.

"Lan Zhi, you're really stingy ..." Xiao Shuxiang pushed his hand away, but the grip of his good friend was so strong. Lan Guan Zhi even gave him a hard to interpret gaze.

Xiao Shuxiang said. "Lan'Er, seriously you don't want to lend me your forehead ribbon? I'm not even a stranger,"

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

"L-Yuan. It's special how your forehead ribbon touches it you're preventing me like this, huh?"

"Don't you ever see that?"

"When? I don't remember," Xiao Shuxiang could actually remember if he wanted to think for a moment. But he just doesn't want to do that.

"Lan Zhi, I just borrowed it for a little while. I promise I won't lose it. You're so happy with your own friend,"

"You're a bitch,"

"You're more annoying." Xiao Shuxiang tried to grab onto Lan Guan Zhi's forehead ribbon, but his hand was firmly held.

Xiao Shuxiang puffed his cheeks, he looked pouted. "Yes, if you don't want to. I don't want to talk to you anymore,"

"..............." Lan Guan Zhi sighed softly and said without a tone, "Alright. I loan you,"

"good. You're a good friend~" Xiao Shuxiang wanted to grab his best friend's forehead ribbon, yet both of his hands were still held back by that beautiful big hand.

On the other hand, Lan Guan Zhi shook his head slowly inwardly as this young man in front of him was extremely skilled at playing facial expressions. Just now Xiao Shuxiang looked sullen, now his good friend started to cheer up again.

"Lan'Er, why are you still preventing me?" Xiao Shuxiang asked.

"You have to promise something,"

"What?" Xiao Shuxiang frowned, he blinked and looked at this good friend of his.

Lan Guan Zhi exhaled softly. He looked at Xiao Shuxiang deeply and said without a tone, "Don't let anyone else touch him."

"You mean ... Your forehead ribbon?"

"Mrs,"

"..............." Lan Guan Zhi exhaled. He closed his eyes for a moment before looking back at the young man before him. Slowly, he began to let go of his hand.

Xiao Shuxiang blinked, "To get permission from you like this actually makes me nervous. Haaa .... I can't do it,"

"..............." Lan Guan Zhi expressionlessly reached out and spontaneously flicked Xiao Shuxiang's forehead until his good friend groaned in pain.

"Lan'Eer..! Ouch ..." Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his forehead, "Sssh... Oh God. What grudge do you have against me? Ouch..."

Lan Guan Zhi snorted softly and began to release his forehead ribbon. Suddenly something happened and made Xiao Shuxiang forget about her pain.

The long, white forehead ribbon quickly rolled up, solidifying, to form a long iron with both pointed ends.

Xiao Shuxiang blinked. His brow that was flushed looks red. He stared at the weapon in Lan Guan Zhi's hands and was involuntarily flabbergasted.

Xiao Shuxiang asked, "Is this your forehead ribbon? I didn't expect this thing to turn into a weapon,"

"You've seen it,"

"really? When?!"

"The Demonic Beast Island,"

Xiao Shuxiang flinched. He saw the object in the hands of his best friend and did feel familiar. So when he remembered about Demonic Beast Island, he was shocked.

Xiao Shuxiang's. "Ah, I remember. That's when you and I were trapped in a big cocoon, wasn't it?"

"Mrs,"

"I didn't pay much attention to it at the time ..." Xiao Shuxiang reached out and asked, "Are all the forehead ribbons of the Heaven Sword Sect disciples able to turn out like this?"

"Mn, no. Just mine and the elder."

!

Xiao Shuxiang flinched as he held the object in Lan Guan Zhi's hand that had actually returned to its original shape. He asked, "Is this the same kind of heirloom as your sword?"

"No, Shanghai is the Eternal Treasure. While Rouyue was an Intermediate Level Heirloom,"

"Middle Level Heirloom? How do I use this thing? Why can't I do what you did?"

Lan Guan Zhi held back his forehead ribbon and it formed a long pointed iron as before.

Lan Guan Zhi said, "This can only change in my hands."

"Well, then what's the effect of the attack on your forehead ribbon?"

"Destroying Life,"

"You're serious?!" Xiao Shuxiang was shocked. "Lan Zhi, is this what I imagined?"

"Any creature can be gone. Even cultivators whose practices were higher than mine,"

Xiao Shuxiang was surprised, "Hey..! You said it was an Intermediate Level Heirloom, but why was the impact even greater? You said this thing could kill any creature, would your Rouyue be able to destroy demons?"

"I've never tried it before,"

"Hey, hey..! I'm so curious about the weapons you have." Xiao Shuxiang said, "The heirloom is divided into three types, right? Low Level, Medium Level and High Level Heirloom. What I mentioned earlier is still even an ordinary realm. Then the better level is the Earth Heritage. Then the rarest and so far contested is the Sky Heritage. So how could Rouyue be in the Intermediate Level category, when her strength was so great?"

"..............." Lan Guan Zhi breathed softly and said, "Rouyue's ability to destroy life cannot always be used."

"So that's why the level is below ..."

"Right," Lan Guan Zhi turned the weapon in his hand back into a ribbon. He asked, "Would you like to wear it?"

"Oh," Xiao Shuxiang smiled and then put away the table sitting in front of him. He said, "You help me and put it on."

!

Lan Guan Zhi gasped, Xiao Shuxiang was too close. Especially with a charming face facing towards him.

"........... Turning around," Lan Guan Zhi would naturally not be able to pair her forehead ribbon from the front. This is because in addition to difficulties, it will also look ambiguous.

Xiao Shuxiang did not seem to think much of it. He turned around at the request of his good friend and did not resign even the slightest smile.

"........... Your red ribbon, I'll take it." Lan Guan Zhi said softly and replied a nod by Xiao Shuxiang.

"It's best not to be eliminated" Lan Guan Zhi again warned.

"of course. I'll take good care of him,"

"............ Don't let anyone touch you,"

"You can trust me, man."

"You have to promise,"

"I did it earlier, right? I promise,"

"You must remember your promise,"

"Yes, yeah. How old do you think I am now, huh? I'm so young,"

"Hmph, not self-conscious." Lan Guan Zhi finished putting the forehead ribbon on Xiao Shuxiang. He himself put on the red ribbon of his good friend and made it a hair tie like Xiao Shuxiang wore.

"I can't wait to show it to the White Cat," Xiao Shuxiang opened his voice.

"Is this interesting?"

"of course. My White Cat admires you so much,"

"Mm .... Do you want me to give you an autograph?"

Xiao Shuxiang gasped at hearing that. He laughed and made Lan Guan Zhi smile faintly.

"A-Yuan, you're already starting to joke around. That nice. You've got to develop it,"

"Mn, I'm always funny every day."

"Aiya," Xiao Shuxiang turned around. He looked at his good friend and said, "Am I talking to Lan Guan Zhi right now? Where do you get the confidence, that you're funny?"

Xiao Shuxiang held back a laugh and shook his head softly, "Try to reflect. Your expression is like a frozen iceberg. Seriously Lan'Er, are you sick?"

"Not at all," Lan Guan Zhi said calmly.

"look, right? You answered that flat. From where's that funny?"

"I made you laugh. You're still smiling, too,"

"Help .... Oh gosh. My heart resistance began to be tested," Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his chest.
