HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
31 - Meet Xiao Lu

Xiao Shuxiang was apparently before returning to the Middle-Instant Continent-he had Hu Li take out the Moving Mirror which made them arrive at the Middle Sun Emperor's palace, the Middle Sun Emperor, the residence of Xiao Lu--sister Xiao Shuxiang.


"Young Master Xiao, why should we come here?" Hu Li walked behind his Young Master while looking around.


The Middle Sun Imperial Palace despite having been attacked, but after repairs still had the same design as before.


Several servants passed by Xiao Shuxiang and Hu Li. They were stunned before finally being startled and subconsciously opened their mouths wide.


Xiao Shuxiang simply passed those people without saying anything. He focused on finding the whereabouts of the chatty girl, his older sister.


"God... Wasn't that Young Master Xiao just now?" a waiter carrying a basket of fruit still looked shocked, the friend who was with him was like that.


"That's right Young Master Xiao. But when did he come here?"


"Who cares since when it came. Bottom line Young Master Xiao looks more handsome than I've ever met~"


!!


There were three maids in yellow uniforms, but two of them were so enthusiastic that they even handed over the things they had brought to the other colleague.


"You take that to the kitchen, thank you. Come on!"


"Hey, wait! I want to go see him too. Aish..."

"Where's the chatty girl?" Xiao Shuxiang had walked for a long time and found absolutely no sign of Xiao Lu's whereabouts.


"Young Master, can you tell us what our purpose is here?" Hu Li almost hit Xiao Shuxiang when he momentarily looked back because he felt that he was being followed.


"Ah, there's a waiter." Xiao Shuxiang did not answer Hu Li's question and instead approached the two female servants. 


He had actually crossed paths with a few servants before, but it seemed that now Xiao Shuxiang had given up looking for Xiao Lu to start asking others for help.


The two maids that Xiao Shuxiang was approaching were initially jolted by the presence of the black-clothed young man. But when they realized, they then replied that the Xiao Lu who was being sought was now in the backyard of the palace.


Xiao Shuxiang thanked him and then started rushing away, Hu Li followed his Young Master from behind. Not far from Hu Li--some of the female servants also quietly followed them.


The backyard of the Middle Sun Emperor's palace was vast, filled with plants and was a peaceful place. 


There is a large fish pond nearby there are three chairs with a table carved by storks. A woman dressed in light blue with long hair was seen sitting on one of the chairs while holding a small child.


Xiao Shuxiang's steps swallowed as he got closer to the figure of the woman still on his back. He exhaled and started to say, "Squiet Girl..!"


?!


The woman's figure flinched and began to look over. She has bright brown eyes, smooth facial skin and beautiful eyebrow lines. He frowned when he saw a handsome young man walking closer towards him.


The woman looked to be 25 years old, but the truth was that she was 30 years old. Her face was still just as beautiful and did not undergo as many changes as the last time Xiao Shuxiang remembered. The woman he saw was none other than Xiao Lu.


"Xiao'Er...? Is that you?"


"Who do you think you are? No one dares to call you 'Squiet Girl' but me." Xiao Shuxiang approached, he only noticed well and noticed the change in Xiao Lu's stomach.


Xiao Shuxiang blinked, "You... Chagrin Girl? Are you pregnant again?" He looked at the boy who was holding Xiao Lu's hand and was also staring at him. "... How long have we not met..? Why are you pregnant again?"


"What are you talking about? This was Li Qian Xie's son. Let's say hello to your embarrassing uncle."


!


Xiao Shuxiang touched Xiao Lu's forehead, causing the woman to moan, "I came to see you and you introduced me in such a way to my own nephew. Introduce it well,"


"You do it yourself..." Xiao Lu rubbed his forehead. He then glanced at Hu Li who was saluting him.


Xiao Shuxiang noticed the face of this boy who looked to be around two and a half years old. He snorted softly, "He is similar to Dai Chen,"


Xiao Lu, "Of course. He's my dear son too."


"What's his name?"


Xiao Lu looked at the little prince, his voice turning soft. "Let's introduce yourself to this uncle..."


The prince looked up as he looked at Xiao Shuxiang, he had an innocent, yet cold, look in his eyes. Hu Li could tell that one day the boy would grow into a handsome and dignified figure.


"a nianng.." the boy looked at Xiao Lu and was afraid to introduce himself. She had always considered Xiao Lu as her mother. Even he was closer to his mother when compared to the figure who had given birth to him.


Xiao Lu gently rubbed his little prince's head, he again said. "It's okay... She's 'Mother's' sister, your uncle. Let's say hello to him,"


The little prince started to put the two hands together and saluted Xiao Shuxiang, "Pan Yue saluted Xiao Ji-nigui,"


!


Xiao Shuxiang blinked again, his tone softly as he spoke to Hu Li. "Which do you think looks better, Pan Yue or me?"


Hu Li flinched, his legs barely spraining from hearing his Young Master Xiao remark. He thought Xiao Shuxiang would ask the background of this 'Pan Yue' name, but it was unexpected that the question he heard was so unexpected.


"Young Master Xiao, I don't live in this time of young master 'Pan Yue. So can't compare your good looks with her."


"Then what about Lan Zhi? Is he that handsome?"


"Why are we talking about that? If you want to know... How about I go to get some books you can learn?"


"Huh, you just mentioned the forbidden word to me,"


Hu Li clenched both of her lips, she was seen smacking a smile. He remembered his Young Master Xiao was a very picky person in learning. Other than books on moves, herbs and poisons, Xiao Shuxiang would not be interested in any other books.


Xiao Lu had been paying attention since then and couldn't bear it anymore, "You two want until when are whispering like that? You're making my little prince uncomfortable,"


Xiao Shuxiang, "I only remember about the name 'Pan Yue'. Who gave him that name?"


"Hmph, of course I am. Why?"


"Girl chatty. When your little prince grows up, you should let me know. I'll find him a more extraordinary name. 'Yue' that... Wouldn't it be more suitable for women?"


"You think your own name suits someone like you?"


The Xiao brothers had already started to bully each other. They really can't get along for a moment.


To Hu Li, this was a matter of course. But to the little prince, this was the first time he had seen his 'Mother's' unusual demeanor.


Xiao Lu grumbled, "If you come here just to find trouble with me, you better go. Aiii... I hope my son doesn't have the same nature as you,"


Xiao Shuxiang saw Xiao Lu gently rubbing his stomach. Her sister was clearly pregnant, she snorted. "Your son should feel sorry for having to have a chatty mother like you,"


"Xiao'Er, you suck! That's nasty..!" it was fortunate that Xiao Lu already knew the habits of this little brother. If it was together with him, Xiao Shuxiang liked to have a spicy mouth. It has not felt like this for a long time. He really has a bad brother.


Xiao Lu exhaled, "Before my dear comes, you'd better leave. It's time for my little prince to learn a book that I don't even know what it is,"


"Literary and political turn, you wasted her childhood." Xiao Shuxiang shook his head, his life as an 'Emperor' in the Elf World is also not far from such a thing. "Little children should be taught how to climb mountains, hunt in forests and play with weapons. Why do you have to torture his ass by asking him to sit down and write a poem? He'll grow up to be boring if your teaching is like this. Mm... Ah, what if I take him to play at the brothel?"


"Young Master Xiao..!"


"Xiao..!!"


Xiao Shuxiang got a hard blow on his arm from Hu Li and a cry from Xiao Lu. He rubbed his right arm and grimaced, "Oh... You guys are so rude,"


"Young Master Xiao, don't be like that. Stop whatever you want to do! You can't get this pure child stained, you can't...!" Hu Li was deeply shaken to hear that his Young Master had the thought of bringing a little prince to the brothel.


"Alright, alright. I'll just talk, don't take it seriously..." Xiao Shuxiang stared for a moment at the boy standing beside Xiao Lu. The little prince seemed to be smiling towards her and seemed to be looking at her attentively.


"Hu Li, take out the black jade box inside the Universal Bracelet and leave it to this Fussy Girl,"


Hu Li flinched, but immediately obeyed his Young Master Xiao's remark. A jade box of considerable size he took out from within the Universal Bracelet and passed it to Xiao Lu.


"What's this...?" Xiao Lu was astonished, but still received the box. He opened it and frowned when what was seen in the jade box was a golden-coloured robe that had many ancient engravings in red.


Xiao Lu stored his jade city on the table and took the robe and spread it out.


He was still confused by the cloak his sister gave him, "Ehm... Xiao'Er, do I have to comment on this choice of yours? Where did you buy it? If this is a gift to me, then really you're not very intent-"


"That's the Third Sky's heirloom."


!!


Xiao Lu was surprised, he even subconsciously opened his mouth. He was just about to bully his sister when Xiao Shuxiang suddenly mentioned about the Third Sky Heirloom.


"Xiao'Er it... Really?!" Xiao Lu was still in disbelief, he even held his breath because of it. He blinked a few times to convince himself that he was not dreaming.


"Heirloom... Third Sky...?! But..."


Xiao Shuxiang shook his head softly, "You're like you've never seen a great heirloom alone,"


"Of course not..! This is my first time. That Heavenly Heirloom was extremely rare and so precious. I never even thought I would touch it. Xiao'Er, you're not lying, are you?"


"Did I ever lie?"


Xiao Lu shook his head, his voice soft. "I do it often. You never lie at all..."


Xiao Shuxiang, "It's good that you're self-conscious. The point is that it's yours now. I came here to give it to you."
