HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
39 - Yun Qiao Yue (2)

"Xiao Shuxiang's..." Yun Qiao Yue was stunned, "There aren't many talented youths who have this kind of attitude. Most of the people I met were stubborn and did not want to give up. Always feel yourself the truest and would rather talk with a punch than his mouth... But this young man..."


Yun Qiao Yue smiled faintly and countered the respect of Xiao Shuxiang. He knew this dazzling youth was not from among ordinary people, the aura he felt was not much possessed by cultivators in general. Xiao Shuxiang had something that was even far from his shadow.


Yun Qiao Yue turned around and softly told the cultivators. He asked them to return to their respective tents and reminded that there would be no one among them to make such an uproar.


The tone of voice and aura of elegance it emitted made cultivators feel at ease. The tension around them seemed to disappear. The cultivators saluted Yun Qiao Yue and then left the place.


Mo Huai himself noticed one of the young men whose hands were slashed. He felt sorry for the person, but it was impossible if he asked Xiao Shuxiang to restore the young man's condition. He was certain that Xiao Shuxiang would never be willing to do so.


Secretly, Mo Huai stepped back to catch up with the young man. He still had some Dragon Breath Pills that he had kept all this time. Mo Huai only wanted the cultivator not to take a grudge against Xiao Shuxiang.


On the other hand, Yun Qiao Yue was seen paying respect to Xiao Shuxiang. Ever since this handsome young man saluted her just now-it has shown the initiative to end the conversation. It felt as if Xiao Shuxiang was trying to avoid any possible disputes between them.


As Yun Qiao Yue took a goodbye and began to float away, Nie Shang was finally able to exhale a sigh of relief. He looks to gently rub his chest and then says, "Thank God it's over. I had previously thought that there would be a world war just now. Haaah... Oh my gosh,"


Xiao Shuxiang heard him and then shook his head, "You just calm down. I know when it's time to be haughty and look for trouble and when it's time to be friendly. But that lady... She looks beautiful."


!!


Hu Li and Nie Shang were surprised to hear Xiao Shuxiang's last words. Honestly, this was the first time they had heard Xiao Shuxiang praise a girl. It's really unusual. Siu Yixin even blinked a few times in disbelief at what she had just heard.


"Young Master Xiao," Hu Li immediately grabbed Xiao Shuxiang's hand. "Don't tell me you're being lured to Miss Yun Qiao Yue. She's beautiful, but you're not already--"


"What are you thinking, Hu Li?" Xiao Shuxiang interrupted. "That I put my heart on him? Hmph, I'm just complimenting her pretty. Not that I was immediately attracted to him. You don't seem to know your Young Master, just yet,"


Hu Li exhaled, "I'm sorry, Young Master. You complimenting a girl's 'beautiful' directly took me by surprise. Although there is no prohibition for a cultivator to have more than one wife and your own status who is also a prince-but I will still be shocked if you just want to get married again."


Xiao Shuxiang, "Hu Li... I've lived a very long time and many beautiful women I've met. Do you think I'll marry whichever girl I see? Hah, my 'Piton' isn't that cheap. I know Xiao Shuxiang is a bad person, but I'm not a jerk. Haaah... Oh gosh. The White Cat should be very grateful for having a husband like me. I'm amazing,"


"You are indeed very admirable, Young Master." Hu Li inwardly felt relieved to have a master who was not easily entangled in such a 'it' lust'. This was one of his master's traits that he was proud of.


Siu Yixin watched the cultivators who were already getting away. He began to invite Xiao Shuxiang, Hu Li and Nie Shang back into the tent. Those cultivators would not look for trouble anymore after getting a rebuke from Yun Qiao Yue.


Hu Li himself looked around and suddenly flinched. He asked, "Where is young master Mo?"


Xiao Shuxiang's and Hu Li's eyebrows linked.


The two shared their views and only realized that Mo Huai was not with them. The other servants and bodyguards of Nie Shang were astonished and confused, Mo Huai was previously among them.


Xiao Shuxiang, "Did anyone see Mo Huai?"


Nie Shang, "He was standing next to me. But I don't know where the kid went,"


Xiao Shuxiang nodded softly as he exhaled, "Yes whatever. He will also be home. I want to rest, the journey to get here is exhausting."


"Young Master Xiao," Hu Li followed Xiao Shuxiang as the young man entered Nie Shang's tent which had actually stood firmly back after being fixed by Yun Qiao Yue with just a single hand movement.


Hu Li chuckled in admiration, "The Cultivators from the Upper Realm are extremely formidable. This tent was almost ashes earlier and look! Everything's recovered."


Nie Shang looked around and reached out to touch one of his tent's support posts. "It's real wood, really great."


Xiao Shuxiang sat back on a wooden chair and leaned back in the most comfortable position. He closed his eyes slowly and explained, "Over a hundred years ago... I've met one person who has this ability. He could recover the chaotic condition of the building as a result of the fight. I thought the practice was at the Immortal level, but it seemed like it also had its own stages. I don't know... Is it true or not, but one of the stages of the Immortal level is the Weixiu (Fixing)."


Nie Shang gasped, yet looked extremely curious. He sat down and asked Xiao Shuxiang, "Brother? Can it also bring back the lives of the dead?"


Xiao Shuxiang opened his eyes and snorted softly, "Of course it's impossible. The Weixiu stage only applies to inanimate objects, even reaching this stage is very difficult. Not all cultivators can do it. You should also know that no matter how great a cultivator is, he will not be able to surpass Heaven."


Hu Li frowned, "But Young Master. When you confronted the Wyven dragon first... Didn't you do the impossible by returning the lives of those who died first?"


Xiao Shuxiang turned his head and looked at Hu Li, "I never did. At that time they were only seen dead because they were exposed to the 'Sacrifice' that was reversed. Their strength and spirit were being sucked, yet they were actually still breathing. If at that time they really no longer had a single breath, then it was impossible for them to survive. I will never be able to save a man who has lost his last breath."


Siu Yixin nodded slowly, she also knew that. No matter how great a cultivator is, it still has limits. Xiao Shuxiang was. The young man did have an alchemist talent that he acknowledged, but he was still in the stage of developing his abilities.


Nie Shang, "Brother Xiao. You said you've met someone like Miss Yun Qiao Yue in the past. Um... What's that guy's name?"


Xiao Shuxiang fixed his sitting position, "He's the father of the Three Elders. My senior... Senior Zhou."


"Young Master Xiao, you mean Immortal Zhou Yuan?! She's..." Hu Li flinched and was unable to continue his words. Zhou Yuan's... He clearly knew who that figure was. But if it is true that the figure has such great abilities-himself can not imagine how strong his Young Master can kill a Zhou Yuan.


Hu Li was breathing slowly, his gaze somewhat downcast. "I remember that in the past your practice had not reached the Earth Stage Grand Master Level yet you had already made a lot of chaos. Young Master Xiao, you..."


"That's just the past, Hu Li." Xiao Shuxiang leaned back on his chair and even raised his legs on the table. Both of his hands became pillows for his head as he began to close his eyes.


Xiao Shuxiang said, "After all the people who were so strong and became my opponents in the past are all familiar with this Xiao Shuxiang. So when I fought against me first... I think they seem half-hearted to do it. They don't really want to kill me."


"Really... They don't want to kill me. Even I still remember the screams from senior Guan Wei during that final war. He still calls me 'Xiao-Er'. The faces of the three elders stream and the gazes of their eyes.there was absolutely no scent of hatred. Instead they feel guilty and pity me."


Xiao Shuxiang did not want to admit it. He did not know why the elders from the three streams gave him such a look. But the feeling he didn't want to know just came when he did the Heart Demon Cleansing and met A-Xiang. He just refused to face it.


Xiao Shuxiang knew A-Xiang showed regret, but not his. It was the misguides of others-those who had ever been connected to him. That's why he doesn't want to face it. Xiao Shuxiang preferred to dodge. He did not want to see the regret of those who died in his hands.


Nie Shang was stunned, he did not know what Xiao Shuxiang was feeling right now as the young man closed his eyes while still talking to them. However from the words he had heard just now-he had come to feel that his Brother Xiao was harboring a secret related to the outbreak of the great war over a hundred years ago.
