HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
354 - Distance

Some of the buildings in the Sky Sword Sect looked to have already undergone changes. This also included the Level Nine Pagoda where Lan Guan Zhi was ordinary.


Xiao Shuxiang took a deep breath and then rushed into the Nine-Tiered Pagoda building. His arrival clearly made the existing Heaven Sword Sect disciples flinch.


Someone called Xiao Shuxiang, but the young man in white clothes continued walking without saying anything. This unusual nature of Xiao Shuxiang instantly made the disciples feel that something was wrong.


Xiao Shuxiang climbed the stairs and headed to the second floor. He was now standing in front of the room that became his best friend's room. He tried to open the door, but was surprised because the door in front of him seemed to be locked from the inside.


"Lan Zhi's..! Lan Zhi, it's me." Xiao Shuxiang called his good friend and knocked on the door a few times. He wanted to kick this door violently, but was worried that his friend was getting angry at him.


"A-Yuan, you have to listen to me. It's not as you can see," Xiao Shuxiang tried to explain, he said. "The cultivators were eyeing the scroll, even they wanted to kill me. I have no choice but-"


"You have it,"


Xiao Shuxiang flinched. He heard the toneless voice of his best friend from behind the door. He called Lan Guan Zhi back, "A-Yuan don't be like this. Let's open the door,"


"You can run away using a moving mirror. Or you can use your pills and cripple them. But you didn't do that because..."


!!!


Xiao Shuxiang was startled as the door in front of him suddenly shifted. He was directly faced with a completely different view of Lan Guan Zhi from the one he had been witnessing all along.


"L-Yuan..."


"I never asked you to change. I just want you to be able to appreciate the lives of others" Lan Guan Zhi said slowly. "Xiao Shuxiang's... Human life is not that trashy until it can be obliterated at will."


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


"My fault. For hoping that the Black Jade Heart could be repaired,"


!!!


The speech was like a huge stone struck by lightning for Xiao Shuxiang. The door in front of him closed again and Xiao Shuxiang's heart beat faster than he had ever felt before.


"Lan Zhi, open the door. Lan'Er you don't hate me. Yuan-Yuan don't give up on me. Lan Zhi's..!" Xiao Shuxiang slowly struck the door in front of him and tried to persuade his good friend.


"Lan'Eer..! I'm mistaken. I know I'm wrong. Don't give up on me Lan Zhi, you can't give up on me. If you give up, then I... Me," Xiao Shuxiang was heavy as he gulped. He lowered his gaze and his voice swallowed as he said, "If you give up, then I... It won't come back."


Xiao Shuxiang did not hear a sound from behind the door before him, this silent atmosphere was not the same as the chaos in his heart right now. He even with a heavy heart started to step back and then walked away.


Patriarch Lan Xu Jian was just about to meet his younger brother because he heard from a sect disciple that Lan Guan Zhi had already returned home. But seeing Xiao Shuxiang who looked lethargic made him believe that the sudden return of his sister was not something that could be considered good.


"Xiao'Er," Patriarch Lan Xu Jian just greeted Xiao Shuxiang, but let alone return his greeting - this young man actually walked away with a face that looked so stifled.


Patriarch Lan Xu Jian blinked. He opened his white fan and took a breath, "Either matter what is going on with these two people,"


Patriarch Lan shook his head. He walked up and knocked on his sister's door. His voice was slow as he said, "LanLan. It's me,"


"Yongzhang?" Lan Guan Zhi blinked. He slightly circulated his gaze as if looking for someone, yet did not see anyone other than Patriarch Lan here.


Lan Xu Jian was welcome to enter. He then began to sit quietly and then noticed the expression of the young man before him. It looked ordinary, but he knew that Lan Guan Zhi was having a problem.


"What brought Xiongzhang here?" Lan Guan Zhi said calmly. His voice as usual.


Lan Xu Jian took a breath and then said softly, "I previously met Xiao'Er outside and she looks unkind. Is there a problem between the two of you?"


Lan Guan Zhi flinched. He watched Lan Xu Jian for a moment before his gaze slightly decreased. He seemed difficult to talk and discuss this, especially now that it was more important for him to calm down first.


"LanLan, if anything bothers you... You can tell me right away. I'll try to help. You don't always do everything yourself, okay?"


"Yinzhang..."

Xiao Shuxiang walked out of the Sky Sword Sect. He returns to meet the girl he once accidentally got involved with, but she says nothing at all.


Xiao Shuxiang's actions like that made the pretty pink-clothed girl look upset. He and his two nannies were trying to chase after Xiao Shuxiang who was walking out through the sect gate.


"Youth shameless, stop you. We need to talk..!" the pink-clothed beautiful girl was shocked as she stepped out of the sect following Xiao Shuxiang-she also watched an adult-sized mirror appear in the air with great surprise.


Another shocking thing was Xiao Shuxiang stepping into the mirror. The beautiful girl with her two nannies was even shocked by the thing they witnessed.


Xiao Shuxiang actually went to the Demon World wearing the Moving Mirror. He arrived at the Black Emperor Mountain region, the place where his uncle Wu Yu lived and became the ruler.


The Demon World did not undergo much change and it was because of that when Xiao Shuxiang stepped in after such a long time hither-she felt very longed for the atmosphere in this place.


The guards of the palace where Wu Yu lived looked surprised instead of playing with the arrival of Xiao Shuxiang who was very unexpected. They instantly became excited and tried their best to host Xiao Shuxiang in addition to informing Wu Yu about the arrival of this young man.


"Young Master sit down first. Think of it like my own home, I'll be right back."


"Make yourself Young Master Xiao at ease, don't hesitate to ask for something."


"...................." Xiao Shuxiang did not say anything other than replying with a soft mutter. The guards of this palace seemed so excited by his arrival that it was so shocking.


Wu Yu, the owner of the Black Emperor Mountain region as well as the foster uncle of Xiao Shuxiang was currently training in his peach forest. He was so seriously practicing when some Demonic Beasts came with the news that Xiao Shuxiang was coming.


Of course this was shocking news, the reason was that Xiao Shuxiang had not visited for so long. He actually never took issue with this, Wu Yu was actually happy that his adoptive nephew still remembered about this place.
