The presence of Wu Mian made Yi Wen who was currently with the Crazy Beggar Boy and the others flinch. Yi Wen stood up as Wu Mian walked up to him.
"What's wrong with you?" Yi Wen frowned. He was astonished because this brother-in-law came so hastily while calling his name.
"Senior should listen to this," Wu Mian was so excited. He circulated a glance before asking, "Where is Big Senior Xiao? Big Senior should also hear this..!"
"Wu Mian, stop-" Yue Lian was trying to prevent her fellow student, but the Crazy Beggar Boy suddenly interrupted.
The man with the bamboo stick looked at Wu Mian and said, "What's the matter? Why are you looking for Xiao Shuxiang?"
"It's not a problem, but good news." Wu Mian smiled and said, "As Brother Yue Lian and I walked over... We saw young master Lan with a girl and did a romantic thing~"
"Young Master Lan kissed him..!" Yue Lian did not want to lose. He's been holding it up since then and now he can't anymore.
!!!
The remark from Yue Lian made Yi Wen and the Crazy Beggar Boy shocked. Even Hu Li and Zhi Shu who were both engrossed were suddenly choked from hearing that extremely shocking cry.
"Ohuk!" a disciple of the Sky Sword Sect coughed. He stood up and looked towards Yue Lian. The student opened his voice, "Well, what did you just say?! Wh-who's kissing?!"
"Of course young master Lan," Wu Mian replied and made another Heaven Sword Sect disciple rush over to him.
"You are right..! That's not possible..!" a disciple of the Sky Sword Sect protested, his comrade also came in support.
"That's right! It was impossible for Young Master Lan to do such a thing. You must have seen it wrong..!"
"I can't believe it,"
"I don't either" the Mad Beggar Boy protested. "Lan'Er Gege had never been close to any girl before. And from his self-control attitude all along... There was no way a girl could make him act like that."
Yi Wen nodded in agreement, "Let's see. Even the notoriously beautiful Miss Ling Qing Zhu could not shake the heart of young master Lan. So how could there be another girl who could do it?!"
Ling Qing Zhu who heard her name called seemed to stare at Yi Wen before returning calmly to enjoy her watermelon pieces. He did not flinch from his seat at all.
"But what I saw was true..!" Wu Mian said, "Really! We are seriously looking at young master Lan. He kissed someone under a tree, really..! Brother Yue Lian also saw it. Right, right?!"
Yue Lian nodded, "That's right. We just saw it. Not an illusion at all,"
"Yes, you guys are..." The Mad Beggar Boy said, "Which girl was kissed by Lan'Er Gege? Previously he had left only with Xiao Shuxiang-!!"
!!!
The black-coloured stick with the golden dragon-shaped carving belonging to the Crazy Beggar Boy fell down and made Yi Wen turn his head. The shock was clearly visible on the face of this subject beside him as if the Crazy Beggar Boy knew something.
Yi Wen's eyes widened as he understood what the Mad Beggar Boy was thinking. The Heaven Sword Sect disciples who had come to see the response of the Mad Beggar Boy were not innocent figures that had no thoughts of getting there, but still this was unbelievable.
"Don't-don't...!?" yi Wen's expression was suddenly horror. He was very shocked, so shaken, almost collapsed if not detained by the Butterfly Sect disciples.
"There's no way Lan'Er Gege..."
"................." Ling Qing Zhu was enjoying the third piece of her watermelon. She thanked Siu Yixin who was still with her and even cut another watermelon for her.
Siu Yixin was a cultivator who always looked festive and had the characteristic of speaking in tone to others. It was just that no one knew that when talking to Ling Qing Zhu-he was speaking in a normal tone like in general.
"You don't want to join them? There it looked really exciting," Siu Yixin opened her voice and picked up a piece of watermelon to eat by herself.
"....... Mn," Ling Qing Zhu shook his head slowly.
"Do you like watermelon?"
"Mn, it's sweet."
"It's better to eat this than engage in their weird behavior, isn't it?"
"Mn, I'm listening from here."
Siu Yixin chuckled and said, "What do you think if what the two girls said is true? Isn't Shuxiang your husband?"
Ling Qing Zhu looked at Siu Yixin and then nodded slowly. Without a tone he said, "Before becoming my husband... He was a good friend of young master Lan. They're like brothers,"
"Hey, but they're discussing another relationship..." Siu Yixin smiled and was calmly reciprocated by the white-haired girl in front of her.
Ling Qing Zhu calmly said, "That's fine. I don't mind,"
"Really?" Siu Yixin blinked.
"Mn, this could be a reference."
Siu Yixin frowned, "I don't understand? Whatchu mean?"
"................." Ling Qing Zhu did not reply, but he smiled faintly. He looked around and asked, "Where is Nie Shang?"
Siu Yixin herself would only answer when she heard the noise from the direction her friends were.
Yi Wen, the Mad Beggar Boy, and the others looked surprised to see Lan Guan Zhi walking alone. Even Yue Lian and Wu Mian were in shock and the atmosphere became tense.
On the other hand, Lan Guan Zhi calmly walked over. He slightly frowned when he saw the facial expressions of these friends who were like they were very surprised by his presence.
"Young Master Lan..." Wu Mian gulped. He pursed his lips and lowered his head, not daring to stare at the charming young man dressed in all-white before him.
"Lan'Er Gege's..." The Crazy Beggar Boy felt his lips were very faint. He had even subconsciously breathed carefully in front of this good friend of Xiao Shuxiang.
The subjects who might still behave as usual were Siu Yixin and Ling Qing Zhu. On the other hand, Lan Guan Zhi even saw Xiao Qing Yan who was running after a moon tiger. It seemed like the boy was playing without realizing what was going on with Yi Wen and the others.
Lan Guan Zhi breathed slowly and walked up to Ling Qing Zhu. He sat down near the white-haired girl and was completely astonished as Yi Wen, the Mad Beggar Boy, and the others came over. They just didn't dare to open their voices.
"What's wrong with them?" Lan Guan Zhi opened his voice. He asked Ling Qing Zhu in a flat tone.
Ling Qing Zhu noticed this handsome young man picking up a single piece of watermelon. He replied calmly, "They're talking about Young Master Lan."
"Mn? Me?" Lan Guan Zhi looked at the veiled girl beside him and was about to eat the piece of watermelon in his hand upon hearing the speech of this beautiful subject.
Ling Qing Zhu said, "Something saw Young Master Lan pinning down Shuxiang and doing so fiercely under the tree."
!!!
"Miss Ling..!" everyone was surprised instead of playing around hearing Ling Qing Zhu's spontaneous utterance.
Yi Wen said, "Mom-not down..! It's not like that. Ouch..."
Lan Guan Zhi did not react. He was not at all surprised and only enjoyed the pieces of watermelon fruit in his hands. His gaze circulated and only frowned when he realized there were people who were not in this place.
"Young Master Lan?" Ling Qing Zhu opened his voice. "Is that true? You did that to Shuxiang?"
"Lan'Er Gege." The Mad Beggar Boy pulled Wu Mian and said, "Actually this girl and her friend saw you under a tree with someone.."
The Crazy Beggar Boy laughed bitterly, "Ha ha. N-no way it's Shuxiang, right? It's not,"
"But it's Shuxiang, right" Lan Guan Zhi replied. He said, "I was with him."
!!!
Crazy Beggar Boy flabbergasted. He was in shock and not only that, even the disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect and the others were as well. It felt as if they had just heard the rumbling sound of lightning.
"So-so you guys really did it?!" The Crazy Beggar boy asked. Surprise is still visible on his face.
"Young Master Lan, you and my Brother Xiao really did that?!" Yi Wen also opened his voice and made Lan Guan Zhi astonished.
"What are you talking about?"
"Lan'Er Gege's... Of course 'it'."
"Kiss," Ling Qing Zhu said without a tone and made his friends spontaneously stare at him.
Lan Guan Zhi snorted, "No way."
"Really?" Yi Wen wanted to confirm it once again. Meanwhile, the Crazy Beggar Boy seemed to wipe his chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Lan'Er Gege, you mean it, don't you?"
Lan Guan Zhi looked at the Mad Beggar Boy and said, "There's still another girl. There's no way I'm gonna do that to Shuxiang,"
"Haaahs... Thank goodness.." The Mad Beggar Boy began to sit down and shook his head slowly. "I can really hang you if you and Shuxiang have that kind of forbidden relationship."
"But roughly where is my Brother Xiao now?" Yi Wen circulated a glance and remembered something. He looked at Lan Guan Zhi and asked, "Young Master Lan wasn't with my Brother Xiao just now?"
"Mn, but Shuxiang is gone." Lan Guan Zhi replied calmly.
"My Xiao Brother.... Go where?"
"..............." Lan Guan Zhi's gaze went down. She did not answer this girl's question and at the same time, she was reminded of her good friend.
Now that Xiao Shuxiang was on the edge of a cliff, it was a place close to the ruins of the Demon Wolf Sect.
He stood up while gazing down at the incomparably deep abyss, before turning his gaze to the scroll of the Sun Killing Book in his right hand.
Xiao Shuxiang recalled the incident when Lan Guan Zhi took him and cornered herself in a tree. At first he felt uneasy because he was worried that his best friend was doing something non-no, but the real reason Lan Guan Zhi was related to this book.
"I want to know exactly when it is..." Xiao Shuxiang opened his voice as if there was someone he was talking to at the moment.
"When did you get into my life?" Xiao Shuxiang asked as he stared at the moon in the sky.
His long hair and white robe seemed to be waving in the wind. He took a breath and then said, "I always think about it and find absolutely no answer. The only thing I can say is that you're really playing me,"
Xiao Shuxiang turned around. He stared into the darkness among the trees. He said, "I was already suspicious when you suddenly fell and pushed Tianqi Mao's bodyguard to death on Demonic Beast Island back then. I thought trouble always came to me because I was unlucky, but every time something big happened... You were there too."
Xiao Shuxiang said, "Insiden in the Middle Continent and his peak in the war against the Skull Sword Party ... You followed me there and you even came to the Upper Cultivation Realm. I'm sure you're involved in this, too."
"Waaah... You are amazing," Xiao Shuxiang shook his head and said, "A-Yuan realized this because he saw something I could not see. Don't you want to talk now...?"
The gusts of wind changed direction and carried an extremely gripping aura. Xiao Shuxiang firmly held the object in his right hand as behind the darkness began to sound footsteps.
The voice drew closer, stepping on the dry leaves and grass. The tip of one's dark green clothes began to be illuminated by the dim light of the moon. The figure stopped stepping before his face lit up with light.
The wind that blew moved the leaves and the face that was previously still in the shade of darkness was now revealed.
"...................."
Xiao Shuxiang had expected beforehand about the face he was about to see and he was not surprised by it either. The figure before him right now was none other than Mo Huai.
