HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
424 - Liu Wei Lin (5)

Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi returned to the Cloud Sea Sect. They were actually relieved because the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect and also Dao Elder Fang An looked fine, whereas previously they were worried about leaving these people for quite a long time.


Dao Fang An himself also felt grateful because Xiao Shuxiang had returned and Lan Guan Zhi's condition looked good. He was relieved because these two young men came in good health.


Xiao Shuxiang walked over to Dao Fang An who was with Liu Wei Lin at the time. He was just about to open his voice when Liu Wei Lin turned his head and called out to him.


"Brother Xiao!" Liu Wei Lin held onto both shoulders of Xiao Shuxiang and heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank God you're okay, brother."


"...................." Xiao Shuxiang noticed Liu Wei Li who was so worried about him. He touched the hand of the figure in front of him and then began to open his voice.


"Brother Liu... How do I say this..." Xiao Shuxiang took a breath and said softly, "After knowing the truth Wang Zhao from Lan Zhi.. I wonder if you are too... Hiding something?"


"What?" Liu Wei Lin blinked. His forehead shriveled as he asked, "What do you mean Brother Xiao?"


Dao Fang An who also heard it stepped closer. He was as astonished as Liu Wei Lin because of this young man's words just now. Even some of the Cloud Sea Sect disciples around them were astonished.


"You don't know?" Xiao Shuxiang raised his brow sideways and then said, "Wang Zhao that... He's the mastermind of everything that's happened."


"Sa-Brother Xiao..." Liu Wei Lin gasped.


"Lan Zhi saw how the real face of Wang Zhao was. That young man used people like you to attack the Demon Valley Sect. Lan'Er, tell them."


Lan Guan Zhi looked at Dao Fang An and said, "All the citizens who survived when attacking the Demon Valley Sect first... They were all slaughtered. Now it's... There's not a single person left,"


Liu Wei Lin was surprised, "How is it possible?! Wang Zhao's... But she-"


"I couldn't believe it before either" Xiao Shuxiang interrupted. "But this is the truth. When this sect was attacked by the Dragon Lotus Pavilion even-Lan Zhi fought with Wang Zhao and was injured. Lan'Er was exposed to the Devil's Poison,"


Dao Fang An lowered his gaze. He really did not expect to hear something like this, even Liu Wei Lin looked shocked. Not only that, even the other disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect seemed to be shaken by this fact.


Liu Wei Lin shook his head softly, "I'm sorry Brother Xiao... But Wang Zhao came here with me. He did not make any strange movements at all let alone suspicious. Her... I'm..."


"Me and Lan Zhi came from the direction you left the Thousand Sword Palace. At that time, there were many traps in my path. Even Lan Zhi and I almost got caught in the trap, didn't you feel anything?"


?!


Liu Wei Lin shook his head, but then began to hold firmly onto his fan. He said, "I actually still can't believe that Wang Zhao can be like that, but I'm not ignoring your words either. Especially when I remember... The time me and Young Master Lan were in the Demon Valley Sect.."


Liu Wei Lin took a breath and said, "There was a disciple of the Demon Valley Sect who said that Wang Zhao was not who he looked. That time... We doubted him a little bit and because he was so sure... We became suspicious and wanted to confirm the truth. But..."


"Situation is simply not possible," Liu Wei Lin looked at Lan Guan Zhi and said, "Now after hearing it directly... I have no more doubts,"


"But how could Wang Zhao be such a person?" one of the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect opened his voice. He said, "Wang Zhao is a good person and even too good. He has a heart as tender as he knows, there's no way he could be like that?"


"really. It's possible that he's in influence," the other disciple raised his voice.


Liu Wei Lin waved his fan and then turned to look at these two fellow students. "You should be suspicious of people who are too kind and who are almost without gaps. A figure like this is usually very skilled at something that deals in manipulatives,"


Liu Wei Lin took a breath and then looked at Dao Fang An. His hand stretched out and held the old man's hand. His actions were extremely shocking, even to Xiao Shuxiang.


Liu Wei Lin's voice was soft as he said, "Chairman. Sorry for my disrespectful actions. I am indeed not from the white stream, but there is nothing that I consider the most family other than the Elders and everyone in the Cloud Sea Sect. This place has already been attacked twice and I really can't hold it anymore,"


Liu Wei Lin took a breath and said, "This is my selfish request. Come with me to the Demon Valley Sect. It may not be this good, but I can assure you it is the safest place until the situation improves. I don't want to.... There's another one hurt,"


"Wei Lin's..." Dao Fang An was naturally shocked. He watched Liu Wei Lin closely and then said, "You haven't talked about that place in all this time. Why now..."


"Because I don't want my family to feel insecure" Liu Wei Lin said. "Shizun's... There is nothing more precious than my relationship with all of you. I can't stay still,"


"Brother Liu," one of the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect approached and said, "We appreciate your goodwill. But you haven't lived in the Ghost Valley Sect in a long time. We're worried about being there and bad things happening,"


"No one can attack you guys," Liu Wei Lin said, "The members of the Ghost Valley Sect who are cooperating with the Demon Valley Sect have been driven away. Whoever comes out of the valley and ignores my orders, they will not be able to re-enter. It is absolute and the transgressor will be expelled forever,"


Liu Wei Lin said, "Although the name of the sect sounds scary, but the place isn't what you might imagine. Honestly, there... More kids live."


"That's...." Liu Wei Lin was not ashamed, he was just awkward but trying to give an explanation. "The sect members were more children and their age could not increase if it continued within the sect territory. I didn't find a soulmate among the dwarves, so I got out."


"Shizun," Liu Wei Lin looked at Dao Fang An and said, "I believe in Brother Xiao and Young Master Lan. I also know how the black flow cultivator thought, let alone a figure who possessed a manipulative nature like Wang Zhao. This spot... It's not safe anymore,"


Liu Wei Lin lowered his gaze and said, "If Shizun has another safer place, then it will be better. I myself come from a black stream, so of course it's hard for Shizun to trust me."


"What are you talking about," Dao Fang An patted Liu Wei Lin on the shoulder and said, "I've always believed you."


Xiao Shuxiang flinched. He looked at Dao Fang An and crossed his arms. He was about to touch the old man, but Lan Guan Zhi first patted him on the shoulder and gestured for him to do nothing.


Xiao Shuxiang blinked and looked back at Liu Wei Lin. This time some of the Cloud Sea Sect disciples who also seemed to believe in the young man. He exhaled and felt disbelief in the situation.


Liu Wei Lin himself did not expect that Dao Fang An and the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect were on his side. He honestly already had the thought that these people could have turned around and hated him, but it turned out...


"You guys..."


"Brother Liu," one of the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect said, "The Dragon Lotus Pavilion came and made a mess in this place because they thought that the Cloud Sea Sect had strayed from its path. But I really don't care because you're more important than anyone else's opinion."


"That's right, we've lived for years. You are our College Brother. If from the beginning we hated you just because you were different, then this sect would be impossible to attack." The other disciple crossed his arms and smiled. He said, "They want you, but it's impossible for us to hand over a family member ourselves."


"Although Brother Liu's poem is very strange and I don't understand, but the one who likes art is not a bad person." The other disciple added and made Liu Wei Lin surprised.


"Shizun..."


"Look, they believe you." Dao Fang An rubbed Liu Wei Lin's arm and then turned to one of his disciples. He said, "Tell the other elders. Ask them to gather the disciples. We're going to the Ghost Valley Sect now,"


".................." Xiao Shuxiang watched Dao Fang An. Is this guy not too easy to trust others? It should have been after Wang Zhao's betrayal that this jacka-old became more careful to trust others, let alone Liu Wei Lin.


The problem was, somehow Lan Guan Zhi was like supporting Dao Fang An and seemed to be on Liu Wei Lin's side. He clearly felt very curious.


Leaving aside about it first, Xiao Shuxiang was currently in a state of astonishment as Wang Zhao did nothing about the sect. Though the young man should have already attacked the Cloud Sea Sect and made this region go awry.


"Where is Wang Zhao now?" Xiao Shuxiang muttered softly and that question could be heard by Liu Wei Lin.


!!


Of course Liu Wei Lin was surprised, he replied. "When I just came here... We immediately separated. I asked him to go to a safe place, somewhere he is now..."


"I guess because the cover has been revealed, so he went-!" Xiao Shuxiang gasped when he realized something, he turned his head towards Lan Guan Zhi.


Xiao Shuxiang said, "Wang Zhao wants to kill you, right? You saw him so he wanted to finish you off so there wouldn't be any witnesses. But since I came at the right time, the plan fell apart. So..."


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, as did Lan Guan Zhi. They looked at each other and seemed to have the same thought. Xiao Shuxiang looked at Elder Dao Fang An and then opened his voice.


"We have to go home now,"


Dao Fang An flinched, while Liu Wei Lin appeared to be frowning. The young man with a fan wave in his hand began to look at Xiao Shuxiang and said, "You want to go home? Wh-but why?"


"This is a personal thing. It cannot be explained now, the point is we have to go home soon. I'm concerned... It had been several days and there was no movement from Wang Zhao. If I'm right, then..."


Dao Fang An himself nodded slowly. "All three of my students will help you get back home,"


"All right, thank you." Xiao Shuxiang said, "Ah, almost forgot. If you see the alchemist Zhou Yan, please tell him that I and Lan Guan Zhi went home first."


"Alchemist Zhou Yan?" Dao Fang An remembered. The person he knew as Zhou Yan was only one and that figure was also an alchemist. Especially after seeing Lan Guan Zhi... He also came to know that the alchemist Xiao Shuxiang was the one he knew.


The three disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect formed seals simultaneously. In a short moment, the bodies of Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi began to be enveloped in a white light before their bodies finally disappeared.
