HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
382 - Meeting Xiao WeiWei

Xiao Shuxiang and his friends agreed to give Jing Mi and Rana Qisheng time to get to know each other. Hou Yong, Hai Feng, and Bao Yu went to continue their work, while Ro Wei himself was sought by one of the disciples of the Butterfly Sect and invited him away.


Yi Wen himself asked the whereabouts of the Mad Beggar Boy and Xiao Shuxiang replied that the man was now in the Sky Sword Sect. Knowing the gospel, Yi Wen went there and invited Zhi Shu to come along.


Unfortunately, Zhi Shu refused and said that she wanted to introduce Hu Li to her parents. Yi Wen finally left alone. Now, the ones living in that courtyard were Xiao Shuxiang, Mo Huai, Hu Li, and Zhi Shu.


The departure of his friends, especially Yi Wen made Zhi Shu exhale and then looked at Xiao Shuxiang with a serious face. Zhi Shu opened his voice, "Brother Xiao. I want to say something,"


Xiao Shuxiang raised his eyebrows next to his. Mo Huai and Hu Li themselves looked astonished at this girl who suddenly turned serious.


Zhi Shu said, "I actually don't know what Yi Wen has told you until even her eyes look swollen like they've been crying. But are you really going to believe her that easily?"


Zhi Shu said, "Brother Xiao. To be honest I felt I should always be careful of me near Yi Wen. I don't know... I just feel like I need to do that,"


Hu Li and Mo Huai could understand the worry of this girl. However they did not say anything and just waited for a response from Xiao Shuxiang.


The dazzling youth noticed Zhi Shu before taking a slow breath. His voice was calm as Xiao Shuxiang said, "I never forget what others have done to me, even if it is related to betrayal. But for Yi Wen's case, this was something different."


Zhi Shu said, "Brother Xiao. I don't feel that Yi Wen was under the influence of the enemy when he betrayed you, he obviously did it all on purpose. What I'm trying to say is... You don't easily believe anything he says,"


"Calm down, Zhi Shu." Xiao Shuxiang smiled, "After the many years we've spent together, do you still not know the thoughts of this Brother Xiao of yours?"


Hu Li watched his Young Master Xiao. He knew Zhi Shu was confused, but he also could not tell what he knew from this Young Master because it was not something good for others to know.


Xiao Shuxiang looked at Hu Li before starting to open his voice, "I'll go see my beautiful mother first. He's probably been waiting a long time,"


Zhi Shu blinked, he could not forbid Xiao Shuxiang from meeting Xiao WeiWei. He just stared at the back of his Brother Xiao who was getting further away. Now that was beside him stayed Hu Li and Mo Huai.


Zhi Shu looked at Mo Huai and then asked, "What are you going to do after this?"


Mo Huai gasped and nervously said, "I thought I would visit uncle. It's because I haven't been home for a long time,"


Zhi Shu smiled, "Then let's go together. I also want to see my mom and dad,"


"Alright," Mo Huai was a bit awkward, especially when glancing at Hu Li who seemed to be a little distracted. He scratched his non-itchy head and felt that this white-haired youth was guarding Zhi Shu greatly.

Xiao WeiWei was currently on the second floor of one of the buildings in the Butterfly Sect. From up here, he could see just how spacious and beautiful the backyard of his sect was. Even he could see the disciples who were doing their daily activities.


Xiao WeiWei took a breath and said softly, "The atmosphere feels soothing and gets better when you're here.."


Xiao WeiWei smiled and watched the young man sitting before him, a figure who was his own son, Xiao Shuxiang. He saw his son drinking tea in a ceramic cup on the table. He then asked, "What is your relationship with Ling Qing Zhu? When are you planning to have children?"


Xiao Shuxiang choked on the tea he drank, barely even spitting it out. He coughed and looked at this woman before him. He sighed and shook his head slowly, "Mom should talk to Mom's daughter-in-law. I'd even be so lucky if I could hold hands with her,"


Xiao WeiWei heard it and then shook his head slowly, "Your wife has high self-esteem. To get closer to her, you have to work hard. Try to give him better attention,"


Xiao WeiWei smiled gently and said, "I'm fine. You can see your mother is so healthy. What about your own situation? I heard you also ascended to the Upper Cultivation Realm."


Xiao Shuxiang nodded, "I caught up with the White Cat. I am healthy and just like my mother. I'm in good shape,"


"Are you not in trouble?" Xiao WeiWei could not be unsuspecting. This son has always been well liked by problems and whatever it is - the victims are just the crowd.


Xiao Shuxiang took a breath, his gaze dropped and his voice was serious as he said. "I was indeed in a lot of trouble during my time in the Upper Cultivation Realm, but there was still something that bothered my mind."


"Mom, I'll just go right ahead." Xiao Shuxiang looked at Xiao WeiWei and said, "Something I thought was done and wouldn't bother is back. The problem... The safety of many is at stake,"


Xiao WeiWei watched her son and in a serious tone said, "Mother trusts you. So don't hesitate to ask Mom for help,"


Xiao Shuxiang's hand stretched out, he grabbed Xiao WeiWei's hand and then said. "It's just between mom and me. You can tell dad, but hide it from anyone. No one can know but us,"


"Xiao 'Er..."


"Give the mission to the disciples of your Butterfly Sect and send them away far away from this place. I wanted... This place is soon emptied of humans,"


Xiao WeiWei flinched. Xiao Shuxiang had not finished speaking, he continued. "I also want you to tell dad and ask him to send the townspeople to a faraway place. In essence, the citizens of Cold Cloud City and the disciples of this sect went as far as possible."


"My gut feeling is bad, Mother." Xiao Shuxiang said, "I once told you my identity, right? In the past... I don't care at all about other people's lives, I don't care if anyone dies. But it's not the same anymore,"


Xiao Shuxiang took a breath and said, "I'll feel like a failure if I can't protect someone I have a relationship with. But I also realized that I could not protect you while swinging the sword. This is the only way I can think of. Take the people out of this town,"


Xiao WeiWei touched the hand of the young man before him and said, "Xiao Shuxiang. Shouldn't the disciples in this sect help in the face of that enemy of yours? They were already extremely strong and were not even fearless. If you're alone... It's gonna be really taxing,"


"Absolutely not," Xiao Shuxiang shook his head, "I can actually fight more freely if there are no people I have to protect around me,"


".................. Who's your enemy?"


"Some who can create strife to war just as in the past and those who are overwhelmed with greed,"


"But wouldn't it be if the disciples in this place or the townspeople left?"


"No way," Xiao Shuxiang said, "I have a plan where the people who leave will be replaced by artificial figures that look like them. These people are gonna be the bait,"


"Then what about your Brother Jing and the others? You should also tell this to Patriarch Three and the people in the Sky Sword Sect,"


"The Three Elders and the Sky Sword Sect will not be in danger. And for Brother Jing as well as the others.. As much as possible please keep this a secret. At the very least, Ro Wei and Yi Wen should not be able to figure it out,"


Xiao WeiWei frowned, "Why don't you let them know?"


"The two girls once cooperated with my enemy. Whether they'll do it again or not, I can't let my guard down." Xiao Shuxiang said, "I did not punish them as I wished because Brother Jing and the others were protecting both of them. But still the surveillance on Ro Wei and Yi Wen was done secretly,"


"Shuxiang..."
