HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
426 - Ling Qing Zhu (13)

Seeing that what was coming was his White Cat making Xiao Shuxiang rush over and directly hug the white haired girl. Ling Qing Zhu Girl herself looked surprised, but did not refuse.


"White Cat, are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?" Xiao Shuxiang watched his veil-covered White Cat face before re-hugging again.


Ling Qing Zhu reached out a hand and then gently rubbed the back of this young man. He lowered his gaze before breathing slowly. Actually was... He really did not know what to say now as it was extremely shaken.


Not because of Xiao Shuxiang's presence, but because of the situation he had been in for the past few days. Ling Qing Zhu did not want to admit it, but he actually did not know what to do. He was afraid to act because someone might die again.


"Shuxiang..." Ling Qing Zhu held the hand of his Guardian Protector as the embrace of this young man was slowly released. He looked at Xiao Shuxiang and then opened his voice.


Ling Qing Zhu's voice was slow, "I... Apologise. I can't save everyone. I'm.."


"It's okay," Xiao Shuxiang rubbed the white-haired girl's shoulder and said, "You've done well. Thanks for not getting hurt,"


Ling Qing Zhu lowered his gaze and nodded slowly. She had actually been holding back her grief all this time, but it was not the right time for all of those things even though it felt so heavy. He took a breath and tried to stay strong. Even in a bad situation, he did not want to look weak.


"White Cat, what exactly happened? Where are my mom and dad?" Xiao Shuxiang asked again and made Ling Qing Zhu stare at his face.


The white-haired girl then turned her gaze to Lan Guan Zhi for a moment before starting to open her voice. Ling Qing Zhu said, "A few days ago... Suddenly there was an explosion in the square of Cold Cloud City. Me and some of the Butterfly Sect disciples came to see him, but the next another attack came and hit the sect's main gate."


Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi gasped. Ling Qing Zhu spoke again, "There's someone coming. I didn't see his face, but he was so strong. The students who fought him... Can't do much. The mother who intervened was wounded and taken away,"


"My mom was taken away?" Xiao Shuxiang was shocked. He clenched his hands and heard the girl before him explain back.


"Everything's fucked. The townspeople too... There are many who are not safe. Hu Li and Zhi Shu..." Ling Qing Zhu tightly squeezed the clothes of his and this was realized by Xiao Shuxiang.


"Where do you live now?" Xiao Shuxiang asked and made Ling Qing Zhu withdraw her hand.


The long white haired girl brought Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi to enter the forest further. There was a simple hut among the dense trees. Xiao Shuxiang was shocked when he saw only the eight disciples of the Butterfly Sect, even their conditions were so apprehensive.


"It's...."


Ling Qing Zhu lowered his eyes. He closed his eyes for a moment and found it very difficult, even to breathe. "I... Apologize,"


Some of the Butterfly Sect disciples saw Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi, yet they did not say anything. Their eyes looked blank and as if no one else had the spirit, not even to speak.


"They are like that" Ling Qing Zhu opened his voice, "No one wants to talk even if I ask you anything. I can't do anything,"


Xiao Shuxiang walked over. He saw the Butterfly Sect disciples just giving him a blank look before shifting their bodies and looking for another place to lean. The atmosphere in this place is very tight chest until it hurts.


Xiao Shuxiang saw an adult man lying unconscious. He sat down and began to extend a hand, touching this person's cheek as he muttered softly.


"Dad...? Can you hear me..?" xiao Shuxiang's voice was barely audible. He looked at this pale face and tried to hold something in his throat. It feels so bad when you swallow.


The hand he held was so cold and despite having called out to this person several times... The figure lying in front of him did not respond in the slightest.


"Shuxiang.." Ling Qing Zhu's hand came to a halt in the air when it wanted to touch the Guardian's shoulder. He couldn't see this anymore and turned his body around. Both of his hands firmly gripped his clothes.


Lan Guan Zhi himself could feel the feeling that Xiao Shuxiang was experiencing. He himself felt a slow numbness and then crept up from the bottom of his foot. His whole body was frozen.


"I'm sorry.." Ling Qing Zhu's tone sounded wavering. The white-haired girl held back her stuffing and said, "I... I treated it, but... A-Dad... Her... Has gone."


The speech was like a jarring shock and rumble in Lan Guan Zhi's ears. On the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang did not speak at all. His entire body was cold and he seemed to not understand those words.


Xiao Shuxiang snorted, there was pain as he opened his voice. "Go? What does it mean to 'go'? Go where? Who's going..!!"


Lan Guan Zhi was shocked by the sudden cry of this young man. He knew and understood it, there was hatred as well as ridicule, and there was a raging pain in the eyes of other subjects.


"No way.." Xiao Shuxiang's throat ached like it was strangled, his voice trembling as he spoke. "This is impossible... How can..."


Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his face and exhaled a heavy breath, "Can't be like this..."


Lan Guan Zhi gasped as he saw his good friend standing up. Xiao Shuxiang looked at Ling Qing Zhu's back and re-opened his voice.


Xiao Shuxiang asked, "Where did that person take my mother?"


Ling Qing Zhu did not turn around as he replied, "I don't know. But two days ago I heard... Explosion from the direction of the Sky Sword Sect,"


!!!


Lan Guan Zhi was surprised and if anyone noticed - Xiao Shuxiang was even more shocked than when he saw Cold Cloud City in the flames.


Xiao Shuxiang patted Ling Qing Zhu on the shoulder, "Stay here. A-Yuan, let's go..!"


"Shuxiang, but-" Lan Guan Zhi looked at her good friend who was much more worried than herself.


Xiao Shuxiang looked at the disciples of the Butterfly Sect who were only a few people and then said, "You take care of my White Cat. He can't get hurt,"


"................."


"................."


The disciples of the Butterfly Sect were staring at Xiao Shuxiang without saying anything. They lowered their views and gave absolutely no response. It felt that those children no longer cared, even to protect others.


Xiao Shuxiang himself after giving such an order - he instantly darted away while being followed by Lan Guan Zhi. They used high speed and could now see the chaos that not only existed in the Cold Cloud City as well as the Butterfly Sect.


Under that sky, the Big Dipper Star City was filled with flames. Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi who were still darting through the air could be seen hearing screams and screams from the humans below them.


The figure who was the mastermind of this chaos was none other than the one who had also made the Upper Cultivation Realm chaotic. He is a person who likes damage and without using his own hands. He was an extraordinarily cunning-Wang Zhao.
