Xiao Shuxiang's intention was indeed to go to Lan Guan Zhi's room to take his red ribbon, but on the way he was actually stopped by someone.
?!
There was a young man standing not far in front of Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi. That person's clothes should be white and very charming. But the clothes were stained with blood everywhere, so dirty and horrible.
Xiao Shuxiang was just about to open his voice as the young man before him rushed over and without warning immediately hugged him. He was shocked, as was Lan Guan Zhi. Even the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect around them were showing great shock.
"Th-this..."
"Geez," a disciple of the Sky Sword Sect shut his mouth. He couldn't believe what he was seeing now.
"Isn't that Young Master Feng Ying?!"
"Right, why did he suddenly hug Young Master Xiao?"
"What's going on?!"
Not only were the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect shocked as well as astonished by Feng Ying's mannerisms, even Xiao Shuxiang himself had no idea what to react to.
"Ying'Er, man. What's wrong with you-" Xiao Shuxiang gasped as he felt the embrace on him tighter and tighter. He had no choice but to extend a hand and then gently rub the young man's back.
Lan Guan Zhi himself noticed his good friend, before his eyes were directed at Feng Ying. He saw that this friend of Xiao Shuxiang was in a bad state of appearance. Especially since the blood on Feng Ying-clothes Xiao Shuxiang's clothes was also experiencing the same thing.

Inside Lan Guan Zhi's room, Feng Ying was asked to clean herself up. Xiao Shuxiang himself started to take out the ribbon he had already stored well and was given back to this good friend of his.
"I should've returned it to you earlier,"
"............. It'sit's okay. No one seems to realize it, anyway,"
Xiao Shuxiang blinked. He was astonished by Lan Guan Zhi's words. On the other hand, Lan Guan Zhi himself did not know that he had already become the topic of secret conversation of the disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect just because he did not wear his forehead ribbon.
Xiao Shuxiang slowly scratched his non-itchy cheeks and then opened his voice, "Actually what happened to the child? You saw that, right? He just hugged me,"
"Mn, maybe because she hasn't seen you in a long time." Lan Guan Zhi carried a wooden box and placed it on a sitting table, right in front of this friend of his.
Xiao Shuxiang opened the Exquisite-sized wooden box and then smiled. He began to grunt softly and said, "You don't have to treat this thing special. It's just a regular red ribbon that can be found anywhere."
"It wouldn't be the same if you didn't have it,"
Xiao Shuxiang shook his head slowly. She took her red ribbon and then started tying her hair. He spoke to Lan Guan Zhi and discussed the real thing quite trivially. They seemed to wait until Feng Ying finished cleaning up.
Xiao Shuxiang looked towards the bulkhead and then said, "I haven't seen the boy in a long time, he has now become taller and stronger. Hugs are tight,"
"............. Feng Ying rarely left the residence of the Three Elders. And when he came, I heard he was hard to talk to."
"Don't tell me you taught him," Xiao Shuxiang smiled, trying to tease his good friend by saying. "A-Yuan, I feel Ying'Er's embrace is just like yours. You guys don't want to let me go, aiya. What's the matter? Does Xiao Shuxiang already have many fans now?"
"I'm much better,"
"Mn? What's?"
"My arms are so much better,"
Xiao Shuxiang choked on his own breath. He coughed and then looked at this friend. Xiao Shuxiang said, "You start again.."
"You go first,"
"Is this the time I should launch a compliment on Young Master Lan Guan Zhi?" Xiao Shuxiang was just about to open his voice back when Feng Ying started walking out of the bulkhead and looked well dressed.
Xiao Shuxiang just noticed him well. Feng Ying had a small and sweet face. He had a smooth skin, but was full of a masculine aura. His eyes were still the same and it was hard to know what he was thinking.
"Brother Xiao,"
!
Xiao Shuxiang flinched as Feng Ying began to sit beside him and even smiled. He so thought that the person who previously stood with a cold face and the figure beside him were two different people.
"Don't see each other for a long time, I really miss you." Feng Ying grabbed Xiao Shuxiang's hand and said, "Brother Xiao, where have you been? Aren't you hurt? You rarely visit the Third Patriarch's residence, I'm alone."
Xiao Shuxiang smiled, he said. "I'm glad to see you. Honestly, you really look different. You look more mature,"
"REally..?" feng Ying's voice sounded soft. He exhaled and lowered his gaze. He said, "I'm too nervous to talk to anyone other than Brother Xiao and Brother Jing..."
"Wait a minute, I mean..." Xiao Shuxiang looked at Feng Ying's unusual reaction and then remembered something. "God... Is this because the reaction is so cold and difficult to talk to by others? Because he's shy?"
"Ehm..." Xiao Shuxiang scratched his non-itchy cheek and asked, "Have you been down the mountain so often?"
Feng Ying shook her head slowly, "No. Very rare. That was because the Third Patriarch often left and I had to guard his residence until he returned. Only Brother Jing and Lan Xiao occasionally visited. They helped me take care of the patriarchal herb,"
Feng Ying said, "I'll be here soon because I saw fireworks asking for help. Where did the attacks on this sect come from? Are they after Lan Xiao?"
"No," Lan Guan Zhi opened his voice. "They're after Miss Rana Qisheng,"
Feng Ying frowned. Plainly, he said. "Who is that? If it only brings trouble, then just kill it immediately."
Xiao Shuxiang was startled, he looked at Feng Ying and found absolutely no joking at the remark of this young man beside him. He felt that Feng Ying had grown up to be a terrifying figure.
"Ying'Er," Xiao Shuxiang smiled bitterly and said, "Are you going to kill someone if he only brings trouble for you?"
"Mn, the problem is the same as the load. It is better to be finished immediately than to wait until it harms many people. Where's that girl named Rana Qisheng?"
"Hey, buddy. Are you gonna kill him?" Xiao Shuxiang held Feng Ying's hand while giving this young man a look of horror.
Without a tone, Feng Ying said. "Brother Xiao don't worry. I'm gonna slash his head straight away and come right back,"
"Wait first. You don't go," Xiao Shuxiang held tightly onto the young man's hand beside him and said, "Don't move from your place and sit beside me. The dangers... This kid is really dangerous."
"alright. Since Brother Xiao asked, then I will obey and remain seated." Feng Ying smiled, she was even very close to Xiao Shuxiang like a kitten.
Xiao Shuxiang was breathing slowly, inwardly he was deeply entrenched. "remarkable. If in the future his brothers became a burden, would he finish them off without hesitation? Geez, actually who taught this kid to be so cruel? There's no way he's learning from me, is he?"
Xiao Shuxiang blinked. He thought well of his every action in the past, let alone when with Feng Ying. He felt that he had never behaved disrespectfully in front of a gospel child, not even once had he taught Feng Ying to-!!
Xiao Shuxiang's hand patted his own forehead. It was obvious that he had started to remember some things that were certainly not something that could be considered a good deed. Xiao Shuxiang became somewhat worried when Feng Ying made himself a guideline. That was really horrible!
Xiao Shuxiang cleared his throat, he would not ask anything about Feng Ying's attitude for fear that it would turn into his fault. He also shifted the conversation by explaining about Rana Qisheng to his fellow students.

On the other hand, precisely in the remote part of Big Dipper-Star City-there were five men dressed in white, yet with a complexion that was not the same as the ordinary cultivators of this place. Even their level of practice was something unspeakable.
The five men were cultivators from the Upper Cultivation Realm and were looking into Xiao Shuxiang's residence when they heard the noise of the battle Patriarch Lan Xu Jian had fought Jade Liong before.
These five men did not take part because they felt it was none of their business. After all compared to saving the lives of many people - the Sun Killer Book was far more important.
"In case, we'll throw this uniform away. Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi would be able to recognize us if we were wearing sect uniforms," one of the cultivators was seen starting to flick his hands and his white-colored clothes had now turned black.
"Mn," the other four cultivators agreed and did the same.
One of them opened his voice. "I heard that Xiao Shuxiang lives in the Cold Cloud City, Butterfly Sect. We're gonna go over there and start this plan,"
"Isn't it better to just attack? I saw Xiao Shuxiang earlier fighting in this place. That means he's not in his sect,"
"Invade immediately? Do you want to die? Don't you remember that Xiao Shuxiang had a great sword? We'll die if we scratch the tip of the sword a little."
"Where do you know? Was his sword covered in poison that it could be like that?"
"I guess not. He does have a very powerful heirloom sword. I heard from Mo Huai, Xiao Shuxiang's sword does indeed possess extraordinary abilities. Moreover, Wang Zhao said he had already seen it himself. Liu Wei Lin had even always praised Xiao Shuxiang who was considered his soulmate. Not to mention, Zhi Shu was very chatty. This girl is Xiao Shuxiang's brother, her words are trustworthy."
A cultivator took a breath and said, "So other than the Sun Killing Book... Are we also going to snatch his sword?"
"We'll take care of that later. Now let's go,"
Those five cultivators from the Upper Cultivation Realm started to move. They darted quickly and headed towards the Cold Cloud City. Information about this city is very easy to get because the average citizen of this place knows it.
