HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
366 - Confession

Xiao Qing Yan frowned, He did not understand why these three Heaven Sword Sect disciples were shocked themselves while talking. They even returned to peek at Xiao Shuxiang wearing bamboo pieces as binoculars.

O Zhan jumped onto one of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples shoulders. His presence did not bother the student at all, even he was very serious about talking to his two friends.

"You're not kidding me? Do you know who I'm thinking about right now?"

"Your mind is right. That person is him,"

!!

"You mean Miss Ling who-! How is that possible?!" the Heavenly Sword Sect disciple was shocked and stared in disbelief at his friend. "You don't just speak, if your words aren't true you'll accuse someone as pure as Miss Ling."

"Lady... I don't have the book right now, so I can't show you. But what I'm saying is serious,"

"Why can't I know?" one of the Heaven Sword Sect disciples shook his head slowly while paying attention to Ling Qing Zhu's movements. He saw the white-haired girl sitting quietly, maintaining her posture, and not even looking unsteady at all.

The disciple sighed and murmured, "How can a person of such perfect character like Miss Ling write such a thing? Especially making your own husband.. Oh, my God, I didn't think it through."

"The beautiful girls of today are indeed full of stratagems, they are unpredictable."

"But I mean... You guys try to look at Miss Ling. Do you think the girl who has eyes like an iceberg and a flat board face can make a soulful poem?! I'm not even sure if the girl knows what 'smiling, hard, sad, and happy' means'."

"You wouldn't believe me if I hadn't given you proof. Later, after we get home... I'll show you something that will definitely change your view on a Ling Qing Zhu."

Ling Qing Zhu did not know that right now he was being the topic of conversation by a disciple of the Heaven Sword Sect. Right now and in his current position, he was watching how Lan Xiao was sitting before the three young men two of whom seemed to cross hands.

Lan Xiao who was currently in the form of a 7-year-old boy said. "Uncle, Chen. Uncle don't blame my A-Xi mother. He's not at all*belsalah,"

^^^*guilty^^^

Xiao Shuxiang flinched. He had actually heard the child before him speak earlier, but this time word for word from Lan Xiao made him even more convinced. He half-whispered as he spoke to his good friend, "Lan'Er? You heard it, right? Lan Xiao could really talk right now,"

"Mn, I'm impressed too."

"Well..." Xiao Shuxiang said, "Watching him talk feels like... There's pride, too,"

"Mn, you've been a good mother."

Xiao Shuxiang flinched. The words of Lan Guan Zhi who sat beside him were like arrows. He looked at his best friend and smiled bitterly, "What did you just say?"

Lan Guan Zhi turned his head and calmly said, "You didn't hear? Didn't Lan Xiao call you 'Mother A-Xiang'?"

Xiao Shuxiang's upper lips twitched, he looked at the 7-year-old boy in front of him and exclaimed. "Lan Xiao's! Did you forget, you should call me 'Sister'. I'm not your mother,"

"Mother A-Xiang..!"

"Sister, Lan Xiao. Call Shuxiang-Gege,"

"You're old" Dai Chen quipped. He stared cynically at Xiao Shuxiang and said, "Grandfather Buyut Xiao Shuxiang. Please remember your age, okay?"

"Chen'Er-ku Darling~ Do you want this Buyut of yours to slap your ass?"

"Xiao Shuxiang!" Dai Chen gave a goosebumped look at Xiao Shuxiang's call to him. He threw his handkerchief and prepared to lash out when Lan Xiao suddenly cried.

?!

Xiao Shuxiang and Dai Chen immediately jumped in shock. Ling Qing Zhu and Lan Guan Zhi were surprised, moreover the cries of this 7-year-old boy were getting louder every time.

"He-Hey, what's wrong with her?!" Dai Chen was in shock, he at least knew how to calm a crying child. Even his facial expression looked so panicked.

Lan Guan Zhi and Ling Qing Zhu did not know how to calm a child who was crying loudly, even to the point of sobbing. They didn't know what to say to persuade him.

"What is this about you?" Xiao Shuxiang also panicked, but immediately moved and held onto the boy's shoulder. He hugged and rubbed the boy's head and said, "What's wrong with you? Hey,"

Lan Xiao cried loudly and tightly hugged Xiao Shuxiang, he still sobbed. Dai Chen scratched his cheek and thought that maybe he had already offended this boy unwittingly?

"Here you go, why are you crying?" Xiao Shuxiang gently rubbed Lan Xiao's back. He really doesn't know what happened to this kid.

Xiao Shuxiang touched Lan Xiao's cheeks, rubbed the child's tears and then said, "Look at your runny nose. You look really ugly. Already, relax. Tell me who made you cry?"

Lan Xiao sobbed as he began to say, "Sister Qing Yan ... In-she doesn't have a mother. Then if A-Xiang's mother doesn't want to be my mother either, then... I don't have a mother either."

!!

Xiao Shuxiang, Dai Chen and Lan Guan Zhi gasped. The three of them looked at each other before looking back at this 7-year-old boy.

Xiao Shuxiang's expression was pale, he took a breath and then started talking. "Lan Xiao, look ... The call 'mother' was for women, while I was a man. You can call me 'Dad', I don't matter."

"But I already have Yuan's father, mother ..."

Xiao Shuxiang turned to look at Lan Guan Zhi and gestured for his good friend to come help. It was just that Lan Guan Zhi was seen shaking her head slowly in response that she did not know how to deal with it either.

Dai Chen scratched his non-itchy head and sighed. He said, "Just let it go. If she wants to call you 'Mother', then let it."

Xiao Shuxiang stared in annoyance at Dai Chen. This guy is easy to talk to. Sure did! Because it wasn't Dai Chen who was called that name.

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and then asked Lan Xiao not to cry anymore. He said, "Who says you don't have a mother? Take a look, she's your Qing Zhu's mother."

?!

Ling Qing Zhu blinked, he looked at Xiao Shuxiang who was smiling at him. I don't know what happened, but that 'Qing Zhu' call rarely came out of the Guardian's lips. He stared in disbelief at this handsome young man.

Lan Xiao watched Ling Qing Zhu. This white-haired girl was indeed pretty and kind to him as well, but Ling Qing Zhu could not be invited to play and laugh like Xiao Shuxiang often did.

Lan Xiao looked at this young man and sadly said, "I just want A-Xiang's mother. Don't throw me out,"

"Geez, who dumped you?" Xiao Shuxiang flinched, he held Lan Xiao in his arms and was forced to accept Dai Chen's advice. He said, "Yes already. Whatever you want, call me as you like."

"Mother A-Xiang,"

"Haaahs... When he's an adult. He would definitely understand this to be wrong," Xiao Shuxiang could not argue with this little boy and if he continued to reject it-Lan Xiao would continue to cry.

"Oh, yes. Why are you doing it?" Xiao Shuxiang almost forgot to ask about this.

Lan Xiao replied, "I*dengal. Mother A-Xiang and father Yuan**beltengkal. Father Yuan left mother and is getting married, *that's why I'm doing this to make you guys*neglory-"

^^^*listen, **argument^^^^

^^^*because, **repair^^^^

"Wait a minute, Lan Zhi is getting married?" Xiao Shuxiang turned around and looked at his good friend. He asked, "Seriously you're getting married?"

There was a surprised reaction that appeared on Xiao Shuxiang's face, as well as Dai Chen's. Ling Qing Zhu who had been sitting quietly for the first time heard that a Lan Guan Zhi was about to get married.

Without a tone, Lan Guan Zhi said. "There's a proposal for me,"

"Who with? Why don't you ever tell me?!" Xiao Shuxiang was so curious.

"I am also ... I just found out, too,"

"Young Master Lan -"

"I don't agree!" Lan Xiao interrupted Dai Chen and said, "I don't want Yuan's father to marry that annoying grandmother. Father Yuan is only for my A-Xiang mother,"

Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi flickered hearing the protest from Lan Xiao. Xiao Shuxiang took down this 7-year-old boy and gently rubbed Lan Xiao's head.

He said, "You go play with Mother Qing Zhu. Let me talk to A-Yuan first,"

"But you're being*beltengkal. I don't want to*pelgi,"

^^^*battle^^^

"Lan Xiao, take a good look. Did A-Yuan and I have a fight?" Xiao Shuxiang smiled, he took a breath and said. "Now you be a good boy and let us talk. There's also Dai Chen here, so you don't have to worry about anything."

"Lan Xiao, come on." Ling Qing Zhu stood up, his helping hand started to be held by this boy. He looked at his Guardian Guard.

Xiao Shuxiang said, "You're fine, right?"

"Finish your business first. We'll talk later" Ling Qing Zhu said calmly.

"White Cat ..."

"You still owe me. Chicken meat dumplings,"

Xiao Shuxiang was stunned before finally smiling. He noticed Ling Qing Zhu who started to leave by bringing Lan Xiao with him.

In her heart she was so impressed, the beautiful girl never complained about anything to her. Whereas if Ling Qing Zhu was someone else, it was possible that the girl was already upset and could have scolded him all out. But this is not, her White Cat was so understanding to her.

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled. He walked over to Lan Guan Zhi when Ling Qing Zhu and Lan Xiao were nowhere to be seen. He then looked at his best friend and felt that it was time to resolve the problems that were going on between them.

Xiao Shuxiang took a breath, "A-Yuan. There's something I want to say"

"There's no need to discuss it anymore" Lan Guan Zhi interrupted. He made Xiao Shuxiang flinch and stare at him.

"You sure?"

"Mrs. You said ... There can be no words 'sorry' and 'thank you',"

Dai Chen watched these two friends. He frowned and watched Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi alternately. These two young men seemed to be getting into trouble that only they knew about.

Xiao Shuxiang lowered his gaze and exhaled for a moment. He said, "I won't apologize or thank you. I just wanted to say that I was wrong, it's only natural that you're so disappointed."

"................." Lan Guan Zhi was breathing slowly. He heard the words from his best friend back.

Xiao Shuxiang's gaze grew even more bowed as he said, "I ... Shouldn't have done that. I should have been able to control myself. I'm guilty ..."

"But, Lan Zhi ... I have absolutely no regrets about it," Xiao Shuxiang looked at the young man before him and his remark this time made Lan Guan Zhi flinch.

Xiao Shuxiang said, "I am guilty because I only showed my actions that killed that cultivator. I'm guilty because I was late in chasing you to explain everything. I'm guilty of leaving and not trying to talk to you,"

"Lan'Eer. Your words are true, human life is not that rubbish until it must be eliminated without forgiveness. I made the mistake of letting you see this character of Xiao Shuxiang that can't be fixed,"

!!

Lan Guan Zhi clutched his clothes. Dai Chen himself saw that the personal matter concerning these two young men was not a light matter, let alone Xiao Shuxiang looking so solemn as he spoke.

Xiao Shuxiang said, "23 Years old. For 23 Years I lived in the White Stream environment, with you and everyone ... It could even be said to pass through life and death together ... There is not a single day where I have ever forgotten ... That even though I live with you, I'm not part of this neighborhood."

!!!

Dai Chen was surprised, he looked at Xiao Shuxiang and saw this young man smiling. It looked so bitter, yet either just a tinge of it or not-but it seemed like he saw sadness.

"Shuxiang"

"I'll talk, so listen." Xiao Shuxiang interrupted and said, "I never want to remember some of the events of my former life, but that doesn't mean I no longer have ties. Fact ... The world is changing, but the characters of beings who lived in the past with the present are almost all the same."

Xiqo Shuxiang breathed softly, "Not only the Black Stream, even cultivators from the White Stream could very well take the lives of others. They can even slaughter anyone for the sake of obtaining what is the object of their 'greed."

"A-Yuan, in the past ..." Xiao Shuxiang said, "Only because of the Heavenly Heirloom that is on me ... They all do the same thing. The man who just wanted to bow as a teacher-he wanted to finish me off. People who are my own brothers ... They want to finish me off, too. The friend I gave the trust ... Ah, he stabbed me in the back and dumped me into the sea to have that heirloom."

Xiao Shuxiang shook his head, "The Black Stream Region that is my residence ... It is not a house. Then when I arrived at the White Flow Region, I thought ... They might be different. They look well-rounded, so it definitely doesn't matter when accepting me. That's what I was thinking at the time... But it turns out.."

"Hmph, the lotus that has been mixed with blood and blackened ... There is no holy pond of any kind that is willing to accommodate or simply clean it. They are afraid ... The sanctity will be stained and make the pool water dirty. Even when there is one hand that is willing to help ... People gave him a warning. Don't go near it, you'll get killed. It contains poison. He did not listen and said that everything could be changed,"

Xiao Shuxiang took a breath and again said, "The string is dark because the blood can be changed. It just needs to be cleaned slowly, full of perseverance, patience, and trust that it will become pure and beautiful again. One forgets that even though the lotus returns white-root remains blood-colored."

Xiao Shuxiang said, "Ten Lives ... The lotus that was exposed to blood for ten lives ... Is it possible to make it pure again in 23 Years?"

"You're right that human lives are not trash until they're easily removed, but I just know how to protect myself. This subject will take out anyone who's after his life."
