HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
26 - Talent

"Young Master Xiao!"


"Heah... You're these. Look," Xiao Shuxiang revealed the fingers on his left hand, "I don't have the Spatial Ring I used to keep my pills. I don't have a Storage Pouch either and other than this flute, I don't carry anything else."


"You..!" The Mad Beggar Boy pulled Xiao Shuxiang and fumbled the young man's body in search of something. He got endless rebellion and scolding.


Xiao Shuxiang, "Shameless! What are you doing, damn it? Release..!"


"There really isn't," the Mad Beggar Boy held onto Xiao Shuxiang's shoulder, his bamboo stick even to the point of falling down. "What about the heirloom that's always on your arm? Your pills are there, right?"


"Hmph, have you not noticed when I've been bedridden for more weeks? That heirloom isn't on me,"


"Geez! What's wrong with you, son?! Where do you keep it?!" The Crazy Beggar Boy shook Xiao Shuxiang's body until the Alchemist Chef could no longer bear it and finally clocked his head.


"Young Master Xiao, please hurry! He's gonna die..!" the Heaven Pagoda Sect disciple exclaimed. His comrade was currently trying to ease the pain on the swordsman by flowing his Qi.


Xiao Shuxiang's. "Aiya, just bring him in. Why should I bother helping him? I'm going to go-"


"You can't go anywhere before you treat it..!" The Mad Beggar Boy held Xiao Shuxiang back, "Make good this time, please... Okay well? Look at me,"


Xiao Shuxiang stared for a moment at the Mad Beggar Boy and then exhaled, "This is because you are more senior than me, huh..."


If only it were not the identity of the man who had this ghost-like makeup hanging, Xiao Shuxiang would have already let someone die horribly. "You'd better take your hand off now,"


"Oh, okay." Crazy Beggar Boy according to. He had not had time to react when Xiao Shuxiang suddenly just called Hu Li, whereas there was no one else in this place but them.


It was just that before one of the disciples made a sound, a white-clothed figure had been present among them and shocked everyone except Xiao Shuxiang. Hu Li actually came out of nowhere.


"Young Master Xiao,"


"Give her the Night Dew Pill and clean my hands,"


Hu Li nodded slowly and started to stand up, he took out a clear white colored pill and walked towards the warrior who was still groaning in pain. 


The Night Dew Pill was the strongest poison neutralizing pill Xiao Shuxiang had ever made. The pill is inserted into the swordsman's mouth and immediately melted when touching the tongue. It only takes about two breaths and the effects begin to show.


Hu Li then walked back towards his Young Master Xiao and took out a pink handkerchief. He cleaned the blood on Xiao Shuxiang's right hand attentively.


The Mad Beggar Boy looked at that Alchemist Chef who had just left without saying anything to him. He immediately caught up with Xiao Shuxiang and handed the rest to the two disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect. Not forgetting that he took his bamboo stick back.


"Shuxiang..! Shuxiang wait..!"


"What else?" Xiao Shuxiang continued walking, the wound on his right hand began to look closed even though the process was very slow. Hu Li himself still wiped his Young Master's hand and asked if his Master wanted a pill. Unfortunately Xiao Shuxiang refused.


The Mad Beggar Boy who was now walking beside Xiao Shuxiang started to make a sound. She couldn't hide her curiosity, "I was holding your injured hand, but why didn't I get poisoned?"


"You followed me just to ask that?"


"Well, you answer me, is it hard?!" the Mad Beggar Boy's cheeks bulged, he hugged his bamboo staff.


"I can manage when my blood produces poison or not" Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and then shook his head softly, "... Haaah.. This talent. Very amazing,"


The Mad Beggar Boy pursed his lips, he muttered. "Your power is sealed, but you have a terrible talent-waiting! Why didn't you use this talent of yours when fighting Qian Kun or with the Elder of the Skull Sword Party?"


Xiao Shuxiang turned his head for a moment, "Because at that time his condition was not possible."


The Mad Beggar Boy frowned.


"You hear him? I even goosebumps with how special Xiao Shuxiang's body is. There's no proper word to praise other than that I'm amazing,"


The Crazy Beggar Boy somehow always felt annoyed when Xiao Shuxiang started praising himself. The confidence of this young man was already as god-level and the most annoying thing was that Xiao Shuxiang had the capital to behave so.


"Listen to how awesome you are.. You're becoming a rare creature. So then... Qian Kun or whoever it was was after you because of this talent of yours?"


"I am indeed their greatest asset," Xiao Shuxiang gently massaged his hand that Hu Li had already cleaned, "Who else has the ability to go to various unexpected places besides this Xiao Shuxiang? Not arrogant, but yep.. I deserve that."


The Mad Beggar Boy would not bear to continue hearing this young man's praise for himself. He felt like he had to change the subject, "You're seriously going to the imperial border? What's just the two of you with Hu Li?"


"Mrs. All this time it was only Hu Li who was accompanying me..." Xiao Shuxiang replied calmly, "... How else... Or do you want to come?"


"Ah, unfortunately I can't. Yi Wen was too worried when left behind. Maybe now he's gone berserk because I've left the mountain long ago."


Hu Li looked at the Mad Beggar Boy. "Young Master, shouldn't you take Miss Wen to the Eastern Continent?"


Xiao Shuxiang, "Hu Li. That's not possible. Yi Wen was serving a sentence and the land in the Central Continent was suitable to punish him. After all, the Mad Beggar Boy was also unwilling to stay in the Eastern Continent for too long, right?"


"Well... Even though I miss Lan'Er Gege so much, I can't stay there for long. And also Lan'Er Gege himself... After all, his home was in the Eastern Continent. He can't come with me and stay here.."


Xiao Shuxiang blinked looking at the Mad Beggar Boy who was bowed lethargic while rubbing his bamboo staff. "Hmph, you invite Lan Zhi to stay with you even she won't. You're too confident,"


"Shuxiang, why are you such a bitch? Will Lan'Er Gege come with you if you take her, huh?"


"of course. He's my best friend, brother, and second most valuable person after Hu Li."


!!


The Crazy Beggar Boy was startled, while Hu Li blinked a few times. He did not expect Xiao Shuxiang to say that.


Crazy Beggar Boy, "You have the heart to make Lan'Er Gege second. Shameless, he risked his life for you! Haaah... Lan'Er Gege will definitely be saddened to hear this. He's a poor boy..."


Hu Li, "I feel appreciated now..."


"Come on. Hu Li has known me longer than Lan Zhi..." Xiao Shuxiang embraced Hu Li who was slightly shorter than him, "... He is the most faithful, supporting my every action and doing whatever I ask. Besides of.. She can also be a girl. Completely the package."


!!


Xiao Shuxiang laughed and immediately dodged when Hu Li intended to hit him. The sweet-faced young man with white hair looked extremely embarrassed, his cheeks even looked flushed.


"Young Master Xiao..! You're outrageous,"


The Mad Beggar Boy blinked at the actions of the two young men before him, he noticed Xiao Shuxiang who seemed happy to tease Hu Li. He nodded, "That boy... It's like having a weird relationship with the people around him."


The Mad Beggar Boy had thought of this for a long time and there was indeed no swordsman as well as any cultivator other than Xiao Shuxiang who possessed such a free nature.


Even if remembered, he himself never had such an attitude.


The Mad Beggar Boy looked up, he looked at the blue sky above him before looking back at Xiao Shuxiang who was now some distance away from him.


"Shuxiangsu... Is it possible that I can give you hope?"
