HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
272 - The Beginning of the Stain

Ling Qing Zhu stood behind the little boy who was the form of his Guardian Master. He was now under a mountain, a place filled with shady trees and was the border of both streams.


He knew that this little boy had broken the rules again and again skipped training. It's just that, even if he was talking his voice-over wouldn't be heard.


Ling Qing Zhu saw that delicate and tiny hand digging through the ground so diligently. He noticed his small Guardian Protector's facial lines were so innocent and it should have been a sweet child like this not living in such a bad place.


"Hey..!"


A loud cry shocked Ling Qing Zhu and also little Xiao Shuxiang. A young green-clothed and 7-year-old girl treads gently on the ground.


Ling Qing Zhu blinked, the way this little boy landed was so perfect. Even his body lightening technique was great as well. This kind of thing should not be used by a 7-year-old unless he was born with talent and from a family that gave him abundant resources to cultivate.


Little Xiao Shuxiang looked at the girl who was walking closer towards him. He frowned, completely unaware of who this person was.


"What are you doing?" the girl asked and gasped when she saw a dead rabbit.


He crouched down and then said slowly, "Sorry to disturb you. You must be sad because your pet's dead,"


Little Xiao Shuxiang looked at this foreign girl before lowering his gaze. He shook his head and said without a tone, "I don't know. This bunny followed me and it ended up like this..."


"G ... You ever feed him?"


"Kurasa ... I helped him when he was hurt,"


"That means he's a smart rabbit. She knew how to thank him" the girl smiled and said, "You don't be sad. My father said animals have no sin so they will reincarnate and become more beautiful creatures. I'll help you bury him,"


Ling Qing Zhu noticed this meek daughter. He saw little Xiao Shuxiang looking stunned, but the boy did not say anything and allowed himself to be helped.


When the body of this rabbit had finished being buried, Ling Qing Zhu saw the girl put her hands together and closed her eyes. He heard a soft voice.


"Corn, please launch the reincarnation of this beautiful rabbit and make her the most beautiful creature." the girl opened her eyes and exhaled. He looked at the boy beside him and said, "You should also pray. Why not do it?"


Xiao Shuxiang flinched. He looked at this girl and did as he had seen.


Xiao Shuxiang put his hands together and closed his eyes. He said slowly, "Langit. If this rabbit is reincarnated, make him not to be close to me and my fellow students."


The girl blinked. He heard the soft mutterings of the boy beside him and asked with an innocent face, "What brother in your school killed this beautiful rabbit?"


Xiao Shuxiang lowered his gaze and replied, "She followed me and my brothers and sisters saw her. I can't help him ... So ... I also ..."


"It's not your fault" the girl tried to calm down, "Ah! Is correct. I haven't introduced myself, my name is Bai Mei Yin."


"Xiao Shuxiang,"


"Xiao Shuxiang," the girl named Bai Mei Yin smiled cheerfully and asked back, "How old are you? You look younger than me?"


"Ehm ... I'm five years old,"


"Five years?" Bai Mei Yin flinched. "You're going into this forest alone?! Where are your mom and dad? You shouldn't go into the woods alone. Many wild animals in this place, you could have encountered a Demonic Beast and that was the worst."


"I ... I'm used to it,"


"No, no. It's dangerous to stay here. This JieJie will take you home, come on..!"


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, "Don't. I'm it's okay. I can go home alone,"


Bai Mei Yin shook her head slowly, "Where is your home? I'm a cultivator. I can get you home quickly,"


"I am also ... Practice cultivation. I'll be good. I ... Still want to be here,"


"G ... Alright. Hmm, what is the name of your sect Xiang'Er?" Bai Mei Yin asked. He made this boy flinch.


Xiao Shuxiang shook his head softly, "I can't say it and you should just go home."


"No, I still want to keep you company." Bai Mei Yin happily said, "I like you. Do you want to see the city with me?"


"No," Xiao Shuxiang said. "I can't go, I'm not allowed close to the outside world. That's a dangerous place,"


Bai Mei Yin frowned and then smiled, "Who said that? The city is beautiful, there is no danger. I will also be with you, this JieJie will protect you. Comeon,"


"No, I can't" Xiao Shuxiang flinched as his hand was grabbed and he was taken to the city that was in the White Stream region.


Ling Qing Zhu had since been watching over his Guardian Guard and also this child named Bai Mei Yin. He followed these two little steps of children and was even impressed by the city's lively look.


Bai Mei Yin smiled looking at the boy she was carrying looked stunned and like she had just seen the beauty of the city for the first time. He bought two tanghulu stabs and gave one to his new friend.


Xiao Shuxiang frowned, "What is this?"


Xiao Shuxiang was indeed interested in the color of Tanghulu which was so red and shiny. She hesitated to try it, but was surprised to feel the sweet taste. He even ate one more.


"I love seeing you like it. You can ask her uncle for one more, let JieJie pay."


Xiao Shuxiang nodded. Ling Qing Zhu blinked looking at his Guardian Protector and felt happy, despite a speck in his heart that was feeling sad.


Ling Qing Zhu followed the two children back. This time, Bai Mei Yin brought Xiao Shuxiang to the lantern seller and invited the boy to write a wish together.


"I wish I could grow up to be a beautiful girl. What about you, Xiang'Er?" Bai Mei Yin showed the writing on her lantern.


Xiao Shuxiang himself did not understand why he was in this situation, but he exhaled and looked at Bai Mei Yin.


Xiao Shuxiang smiled, "I hope that your hope will become real."


Bai Mei Yin breathed softly and said, "I was touched. But you have to ask for yourself, not for anyone else. So tell me, what do you want?"


"I never thought about it," Xiao Shuxiang looked up at the sky and then said, "I think I want to be strong. Strong enough to explore the world,"


"Well, that's a big dream."


Xiao Shuxiang smiled and nodded. "Mn, for seeing this city ... Totally different than what was told to me. I want to see more and eat sweet food again,"


"Oh!" Bai Mei Yin was excited and then said, "Then ... I'm gonna wish you could grow up and be strong."


Ling Qing Zhu witnessed how these two children were so happy in their own way. Merely, when Xiao Shuxiang and Bai Mei Yin were just about to fly their lantern-a man suddenly came, pierced through Ling Qing Zhu's body and pulled Bei Mei Yin's hand.


The incident was very surprising, especially the man immediately pushed Xiao Shuxiang until the boy fell. Ling Qing Zhu was surprised by the change in situation that instantly became tense.


"Uncle! What did Uncle do?!" Bai Mei Yin flinched, she looked at the man who was none other than her own uncle.


The man said, "It was precisely Uncle who asked. What are you doing with the Demon Wolf Sect disciples? Do you want to die?"


Bei Mei Yin blinked, "Secte .... Demon Wolf ...?"


"And you!" the man stared intently at Xiao Shuxiang, "How dare you kidnap my nephew. You ... You Little Wolf..!"


"Uncle!" Bei Mei Yin exclaimed, "Xiang'Er is innocent! He didn't do anything. I'm the one who invited him to play"


Bai Mei Yin's speech was not finished yet and a kick led to Xiao Shuxiang. Ling Qing Zhu was startled, His Guardian used both hands to resist the attack-but because of his small body, Xiao Shuxiang was knocked and hit one of the fruit-filled tables.


"Xiang 'Er...!" Bai Mei Yin exclaimed and wanted to go to Xiao Shuxiang's place, but her hand was held back by her uncle. He cried because he could not escape.


The adult man stared intently at Xiao Shuxiang and made a cold voice. "If I see you approaching my niece again, then my attack will be even more violent and instantly make you die."


"Uncle..! Uncle, I beg you..!" Bai Mei Yin tried to release the grip on her hand. Ling Qing Zhu saw the girl crying before looking towards Xiao Shuxiang.


The boy coughed, his back hurt. But he could not cry or show as much pain as he felt right now. Instead, his face looked more moody than usual and even his gaze was not as bright as before.


Xiao Shuxiang stared blankly into the air and gasped when he heard the exclamations from the people around him. The merchant who had previously treated him so well had now become afraid and even chased him away.


"He's from the Demon Wolf Sect..!"


"Damn it! Get the fuck out of here..! Go..!"


Xiao Shuxiang was surprised instead of playing when some people threw him with fruits and vegetables. Even worse, someone threw him with a stone and he only realized when he felt a pain in his head.


Water pooled in his eye pelup. The crests sounded like a bolt of lightning in Xiao Shuxiang's ear and even the sky was also like it was swearing at him.


The water spots started falling, the rain became heavy and Xiao Shuxiang was bowed.


He never hated the rain. At this kind of time he is able to cry even though he still never shows the slightest stuff.


His sight blurred along with a red silhouette was visible as well as a sword-like sound being pulled from the sheath.


Ling Qing Zhu's vision followed Xiao Shuxiang's small vision, so when his entire Guardians gaze turned dark-Ling Qing Zhu couldn't see anything.


All around was filled with black nights. Ling Qing Zhu circulated a glance and could not find anyone. It's just that, when the atmosphere started to change - he was jolted to find that now his location had moved.


This is a very spacious room with a deep red feel. Ling Qing Zhu saw little Xiao Shuxiang begin to open her eyes and seemed confused by the circumstances surrounding her.


The wound on the boy's forehead was already invisible and there were three young men who seemed to be waiting for little Xiao Shuxiang to wake up.
