HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
359 - Sky Sword Sect (2)

Lan Guan Zhi had just finished writing an apology letter to Elder Jing Yufeng who was in the Upper Cultivation Realm. He sent the letter using a pigeon.


This was the fifth day where he did not come out of his room and Xiao Shuxiang did not come either. Even though he often looked at the window, no one carelessly entered through the place.


"A-Yuan, it's me."


Lan Guan Zhi turned his head when he heard the sound of the door being knocked. He also looked at the GrandElder Sect of the Heavenly Sword Sect and then immediately put together a hand while saluting.


Elder Chun Bai Dao replied respectfully to Lan Guan Zhi and asked the young man to sit down. His voice was calm as he said, "I'm here to see your condition. You're okay, right?"


"Mn, I'm fine. How are the elders doing themselves?"


"Haihi... Son," Chun Bai Dao sighed and watched the young man before him. He said, "I heard you and Xiao Shuxiang fighting. What happened between you guys exactly?"


Lan Guan Zhi did not expect that the news would instantly spread until it became a problem, even the GrandElder of the Sky Sword Sect had come here to prove its trueness.


Chu Bai Dao said softly, "Son. Do you know anything more valuable than gold, hard to find, but easy to lose?"


Lan Guan Zhi looked at Chun Bai Dao. He did not say anything before his eyes decreased as if thinking of the answer from his GrandElder's words.


Elder Chu Bai Dao replied, "That's a Friend."


"................" Lan Guan Zhi was silent for quite a while before finally opening her voice. "Friends are more valuable than gold. Good friends are hard to find and will disappear if not treated well,"


"Mn, you're very clever and you can easily catch what I want to say. Any matter between you and Xiao Shuxiang, be quick to make up with him."


"Chair ... But how do I do it?" Lan Guan Zhi looked at Chun Bai Dao and then said, "It feels harder to keep putting her trust in him."


"Son, tell. Your anxiety won't end if you keep it alone,"


"Chair ..."


On that day Lan Guan Zhi started to open up. He told her what had happened in the Upper Cultivation Realm and about Xiao Shuxiang making many cultivators die just because of the Sun Killing Book.


Lan Guan Zhi thought that Xiao Shuxiang would not act ruthless anymore after going through many lessons under the auspices of Elder Chen Duan Shan. He thought that after all this time his strength was sealed, Xiao Shuxiang could finally use that power to a better path. Unfortunately, this is just his view.


Elder Chun Bai Dao closed his eyes and breathed softly, "He looks like a lotus bud among the muddy lake. I thought that goodness was on the sidelines of the flowers, but I didn't expect it ... The lotus hides the poison hidden in its petals."


Elder Chun Bai Dao was disappointed after listening to Lan Guan Zhi's story. He shook his head slowly, "Lantas what are you going to do after this?"


Lan Guan Zhi looked towards the window and then said without a tone, "He didn't come. I think he was disappointed too ... Because I didn't listen to him."


"D-Yuan ..."


"At the end of the day as the Elders say, friends are valuable, hard to find and easy to lose. I ... Won't let go,"


!!


Elder Chun Bai Dao gasped, he looked at Lan Guan Zhi and seemed to be unexpected with the words of this young man.


Lan Guan Zhi was breathing slowly, "In the end I couldn't ignore it for too long. He was my first friend and a precious figure to me."


"G-yuan ... But Xiao Shuxiang did ..."


"That's just what I saw" Lan Guan Zhi said, "His actions are unjustified and I'm honestly very disappointed. That's why I ignored him so that he learned not to repeat the same mistakes. I want Shuxiang to realize that there are some actions in which he can lose the person who has supported him all this time,"


Recalling Xiao Shuxiang upon knocking on his bedroom door and admitting his mistake made Lan Guan Zhi convinced that his good friend was afraid of losing someone. He knew Xiao Shuxiang had always been afraid of being left alone, although he was sure that his friend would stubbornly refuse to admit it.


Chun Bai Dao breathed softly and said, "What if your message is not conveyed to him and makes him return to being a criminal?"


"The person who dares to harm himself for the sake of protecting others is not a criminal, Elder." Lan Guan Zhi said, "My message will definitely be delivered. Otherwise, Xiao Shuxiang might already be here. She ... I'm gonna need some alone time, too,"


Lan Guan Zhi breathed softly and said, "We'll make up soon. Elders don't worry,"


"You're making me very anxious," Elder Chun Bai Dao nodded slowly and then extended his hand. He grabbed onto Lan Guan Zhi's hand and patted her softly. He said, "I believe in both of you. You guys are the pride of this place,"


"Mn," Lan Guan Zhi nodded in response.


"By the way, A-Yuan. Where's your forehead ribbon? I never saw you forget to wear it,"


Lan Guan Zhi blinked. He stared at the small wooden box above his desk and then began to open the box. Elder Chun Bai Dao frowned as what he saw was a neatly folded red ribbon.


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


"A-Yuan, this isn't your forehead ribbon. Where did you keep it?" Elder Chun Bai Dao started to look anxious. This was the first incident where someone like Lan Guan Zhi could even forget such a precious object.


"I ..."


"A-Yuan, who did you give your forehead ribbon to? Which girl got it?"


"............ Shuxiang borrowed it,"


"What?!" Chun Bai Dao. He looked at the 25-year-old in front of him and said, "Are you serious? You gave it to Xiao Shuxiang?!"


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


Lan Guan Zhi's silence made Chu Bai Dao's heart as if it was hit by a boulder. He massaged his forehead and gulped as he began to say, "Ja-don't tell me you exchanged your forehead ribbon for this red ribbon."


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


"God ... This must be the wrong one. He must have been the one who had urged you," Chun Bai Dao woke up and then said, "Be careful when I meet him... I'm definitely-Haiih... Why at a time like this..."


Lan Guan Zhi watched as Elder Chun Bai Dao paced in front of him while exhaling a few breaths. He turned to look at Lan Guan Zhi and said slowly. "Do you know anything recently?"


".............. What's the matter?"


Chun Bai Dao felt bad saying this, but if not now-Lan Guan Zhi would probably never know. He said, "There's a marriage proposal for you."


Lan Guan Zhi's eyes slightly changed. He stared inside Elder Chun Bai Dao and did not expect to hear a remark like this. He was even seriously staring at the GrandElder Sect of the Heavenly Sword Sect as if he wanted to ascertain what he had just heard.


"Chair ..."

"Chairman Xu Jian, when do I meet my future husband?" a young girl seemed to be shaking her waist and puffing her cheeks. She is a beautiful girl named Rana Qisheng.


Patriarch Lan Xu Jian smiled faintly and waved his fan. He did not know what to say to this young girl. You could say, this was the umpteenth time he was blocked while walking.


"Chairman Xu Jian, it's been almost a week and I haven't met my future husband. Do you think I'm here to play?"


A woman who was the caretaker of Qisheng's shutter seemed anxious and quickly said, "Miss Rana. W-don't be like that, Miss just-be patient"


"Whispering," Rana Qisheng interjected, "How long do I have to be patient? You think I haven't been patient enough all this time, huh?"


"Ehm ... Miss Rana," Patriarch Lan Xu Jian opened his voice. He said softly, "A-Yuan is currently being undisturbed. But I'll definitely introduce you to her right away when A-Yuan can be visited,"


"But how much longer?" Rana Qisheng suddenly crouched down and made Patriarch Lan Xu Jian startled. Even his two nannies looked surprised and tried to persuade him to stand back up.


"I'm so tired, Sister-in-law ..." Rana Qisheng said his lips, "I came all the way here with a marriage proposal. You don't know how hard the obstacles are that I'm facing to get here? I'm just a human being, a small people. Please, please~"


Patriarch Lan Xu Jian got a strange wink from this girl and then smiled bitterly. He exhaled and then said, "I'll work it out. So please stand up,"


Rana Qisheng stood up and at that very moment Patriarch Lan Xu Jian bowed respectfully and immediately rushed away. That action left Rana Qisheng flabbergasted.


"Chairman Xu Jian must be very embarrassed," Rana Qisheng smiled, "My elder brother is very handsome, so my future husband must be very handsome. I can't wait to see him,"


"Miss Rana, wait..!"


"Miss..!"


Rana Qisheng's actions during this time were one of the subjects that were often discussed secretly by the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect. There were even some children who kept a close eye on Rana Qisheng and one of them was a teenage girl.

The teenager who had such a boy-like appearance was none other than Xiao Qing Yan. He was a figure that Xiao Shuxiang had saved in the past.


"I've confirmed it this time. I continued to watch over him, too" Xiao Qing Yan seemed to cross her arms and lean on the bamboo tree trunk.


Xiao Qing Yan said, "That girl is indeed the one who will marry Young Master Lan-"


A dagger darted, splitting the fallen bamboo leaves before stuck in one of the tree trunks. It was not Xiao Qing Yan who did it, but the 7-year-old white-clothed little boy.


"Are you*selius, Qing Yan?" the boy's gaze was sharp. The pupil of the eye looks different from the pupil of the human eye in general.


^^^*Serius^^^


"I'm not lying. Everyone knows too. Oh yeah, your dad's home. Don't you want to see him?"


"I'm going to see the old granny who has*began to see my father first. **Bial I see if he deserves **cubate life. **** O Chan, come on!"


^^^*Dare, **Wild, **Commission, ****O Zhan^^^


Pii..!!


Xiao Qing Yan scratched his non-itchy head and followed the boy before him. A little fox named O Zhan was among them.


Xiao Qing Yan exhaled and in a soft voice gave a warning, "You should not go too far. What if you get punished?"


"That won't be*so. **Because I have an *** badge. You shut up and come along,"


^^^*occurs, **Because, **Designment^^^^^
