HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
27 - Worry (1)

"Shuxiang...! Wait!"


Hu Li turned his head as the Mad Beggar Boy exclaimed and the man with the bamboo stick rushed after him. "Young Master, we'll hire a horse when we arrive at the market. You alone? Will it go straight away..?"


The Crazy Beggar Boy nodded, "Mn. I just want to remind you to be careful. Although what you are about to go to is the Upper Cultivation Realm, but the people there also have different traits. That greed remains even in a great place."


Xiao Shuxiang, "I understand. I will remember your message well. And you too... Although I believe the elders in the Sky Pagoda Sect can protect their own homes, but once in a while you have to go down the mountain and see them."


"All right, I'll do it..." The Crazy Beggar Boy pointed to a small street, "I'll pass by there. And Hu Li, you must take good care of Shuxiang. Don't let him slash anyone's head,"


Xiao Shuxiang, "What do you think of me as? Basic sucks. Already, go there!"


Hu Li looked at the Mad Beggar Boy and his Young Master Xiao were poking at each other. It was only after the Mad Beggar Boy left that the look on his Master's face turned serious again.


"Hu Li, we're going to the Eastern Continent."


The sudden words of Xiao Shuxiang made Hu Li flinch. "Young Master, aren't we going to go to the Upper Cultivation Realm? Why do you want to go to the Eastern Continent?"


Xiao Shuxiang looked at his wrists. There was a thin wind that formed chains wrapped around his hands before the wind again disappeared.


"Hu Li, the seal given by the 12 elders wants me to loosen up a bit. Going to the Upper Cultivation Realm with my practice being at the Forging Qi level 5 is too dangerous. I was worried about the White Cat, but I was also worried about myself. You don't ask much questions and quickly remove the Moving Mirror,"


"Alright," Hu Li took out a talisman paper and drained his Qi.


The paper he threw and while in the air-the objects melted which quickly formed a mirror as tall as an adult.


Xiao Shuxiang entered first, only then did Hu Li follow behind him. They arrived at the courtyard of the Nine Level Pagoda belonging to the Sky Sword Sect. At that time the conditions around them were quite quiet.


Hu Li, "Young Master Xiao..."


"It looks like the students are studying or maybe they are at the training ground.." Xiao Shuxiang watched his surroundings, "Hu Li. You don't want to go see your sister?"


"O Zhan must be with Lan Xiao and is studying at the moment. I don't want to bother them,"


"Mn, okay. Then let's go up there. I think Lan Zhi's in her room,"


Hu Li flinched as Xiao Shuxiang darted up and set his foot on a tree branch.


He followed Xiao Shuxiang.


Lan Guan Zhi's room was on the second floor of the Nine-Tiered Pagoda and it was already the custom of his Young Master to barge in there by not passing through the door.

The second floor of the Nine Level Pagoda was where Lan Guan Zhi spent a lot of time. He actually had his own private room where no one was allowed to enter. A place that even Xiao Shuxiang himself had never stepped on.


For the room on the second floor of the Level Nine Pagoda was spacious, but fairly simple without unnecessary furniture. There was a wooden bulkhead as the room divider, a haitang flower painting that had just been sent by Second-Lan Patriarch Xu Jian some time ago and an incense burner made of sandalwood-scented white jade.


Lan Guan Zhi was the best disciple in the Sky Sword Sect who had now turned 25 years old. His figure is tall, light-skinned and has long black hair.


The eye color is crystal clear, has long eyelashes, looks smooth with a graceful facial line. His back posture was gentle, harboring a hidden strength and in other words-He was an admirable figure.


"......"


If Xiao Shuxiang was a free young man, he liked to act recklessly and was a bit chatty and a little shameless. So Lan Guan Zhi was the opposite of the Alchemist Chef. It was just that, he could also sometimes act surprisingly and it could always make Xiao Shuxiang not dwell on it.


?


Lan Guan Zhi realized there was a different taste to the air around him. He closed the book and kept it on one of the shelves. He then walked towards the ledge because he felt that there would be a guest who was not at all foreign.


!!


As expected. Just as Lan Guan Zhi was standing on the edge of the ledge, something suddenly shot out and directly hit his chest. Luckily, his body position was awake.


Xiao Shuxiang whimpered, "Shoulder.. Ssh.. It hurts.."


"Young Master Xiao, are you okay?" Hu Li set his foot on the floor and still attached great importance to Xiao Shuxiang's state without regard to the position of his Young Master who was now hugging someone.


"Aiish, why do I always stumble over the edge of the ledge when I come here. Absolutely not elegant," Xiao Shuxiang cursed and whimpered his aching nose.


"You okay?"


The soothing voice made Xiao Shuxiang immediately rebuke.


He showed his pouting face to the handsome young man he had just hit. "Is it just me or are you getting taller, Lan'Er?"


"Mn, maybe."


Lan Guan Zhi helped his good friend to be able to stand in the right position. He looked at the tip of Xiao Shuxiang's nose which was slightly flushed from the impact earlier.


Lan Guan Zhi said, "The door is there. Why is it always through the window?"


Xiao Shuxiang, "I want to surprise you. Who knows, I've caught you doing unusual things like playing funny, for example,"


"Shameful,"


Is correct. The words of the legend had already come out, Xiao Shuxiang was indeed an expert in making such a good friend of his. He had his own pleasure if he could make Lan Guan Zhi say so.


Lan Guan Zhi just noticed, this young man before him was somewhat different from the previous one. Not only had Xiao Shuxiang's appearance changed, even his friend's practice had declined.


"Shuxiang, please,"


"I know what you want to say. It's a long story, but the point is that many people in the Middle Continent complain about me. Father-in-law had no choice and I also did not want to make any meaningful trouble. So this is how it turned out,"


"Mrs. You deserve it."


?!


"Lan'Er!"


Xiao Shuxiang blinked and immediately called out Lan Guan Zhi's name as his good friend started walking in. Hu Li himself only gave a smile at the behavior of the good friend's couple.
