HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]

HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
44 - Cultivator Guard

The two cultivators were named Gao Shan and Wang Yu. They were 27 years old with a practice that had been at the Sky-Level Grand Master, but at a high level. It was truly a rare talent, surpassing even the cultivators at Xiao Shuxiang's residence.


Not only was his practice great, but Gao Shan and Wan Yu had friendly personalities, were easy to talk to, despite being very strict with the rules. They were the ones in charge of keeping an eye on the new people who would ascend to the Upper Cultivation Realm.


Gao Shan and Wang Yun saluted first when Xiao Shuxiang, Siu Yixin and Hu Li had been near them. The three foreign cultivators also returned the respect of the two.


Xiao Shuxiang began to notice the saplings of the stairs that formed before him. She unhesitatingly praised, "That's great... It's like a secret place. So incredible that I thought it was an illusion,"


"Master was too complimentary..." Gao Shan smiled, he also noticed the stepfather beside him who was increasingly showing change.


On both sides of the tall saplings it is quickly overgrown by shrubbery and trees, looking beautiful and soothing. Hu Li saw that there were several mountains forming before him and it was as if it was connected to this mountain they were climbing.



Gao Shan spoke, "What you see is not an illusion. The Upper Cultivation Realm was still a part of this world. It's just that to tell the difference, the cultivators in our realm formed a seal that could remove this liaison of Tian agore..."


Xiao Shuxiang knew that the Tian I in question of the cultivator in front of him was the name of the rung he saw. The possibility of giving such a name is to distinguish that in front of him is no ordinary ladder.


"My name is Gao Shan and this is my colleague, Wang Yu. You're this..." Gao Shan introduced himself and the cultivator who was with him.


"I'm Xiao Shuxiang. This is my servant, Hu Li and he is our friend, Siu Yixin." Xiao Shuxiang introduced his friends, "There is Nie Shang, the one who holds the fan. Then White Cat and Mo Huai."


Wang Yu noticed the three people who were some distance away from where he was standing. He saw that only two people had the invitation of the Upper Cultivation Realm. The only one was that white-haired girl and the other was just a human whose cultivation practice was still present in the Forging Qi Level 2.


Gao Shan kindly said, "I'm amazed at your friendship. Just to drop off two people, it could be this crowded. You guys are so excited that the other cultivators are far behind,"


"♬♪ That's because mountain climbing is not a difficult thing yo! I can still go further, let's climb up there yo! ♪♬"


Gao Shan and Wang Yu gasped at this man named Siu Yixin's style of speech, they even blinked because of it. It was unexpected that there were humans like this as well in the Lower Cultivation Realm.


Xiao Shuxiang himself did not care about the expressions of Gao Shan and Wang Yu when he looked at Siu Yixin. He only cares about the important things he has to do.


Xiao Shuxiang, "Master Gao. I want to ask, can I?"


Gao Shan immediately turned his head towards the young man who was so dazzling before him. Xiao Shuxiang's voice was very pleasant to hear, "Sure Mr. Xiao. What do you want to know?"


"Actually I came here to take my wife. He got an invitation from the Upper Cultivation Realm. I want to ask, can I also go to your nature?"


"You're married?!" Gao Shan could not hide his shock. Even Wang Yu was also jolted. They immediately watched Xiao Shuxiang closely.


"Only 23-year-old bones, the practice was also at the Forging Qi Level 5. He's still a young corn! Why are you so brave to build a house?!" Gao Shan found it hard to swallow. He alone had never thought of such a thing because he felt that he was not old enough yet, but this cultivator had even gotten married!


Another Wang Yu again, he looked at Ling Qing Zhu who was not far in front of him and then looked at Xiao Shuxiang back. It is like comparing the two people.


"If from the face, they look harmonious. But when viewed in terms of practice, it's like heaven and earth. Somehow with their family status, but if this was in the Upper-Old Cultivation Realm it would definitely refuse outright. A diamond so precious mana might be juxtaposed against a deformed jade like him."


Xiao Shuxiang did not know the content of Wang Yu's mind, nor did Hu Li. It was just that it looked that the cultivator before them was like doubting his words.


Hu Li, "Master Mudaku is indeed married. But as it is still a new married couple, my Young Master is anxious about Miss Ling's safety. That's why we hope to get permission to join the ascension to the Upper Cultivation Realm,"


Gao Shan coughed softly, he was a little envious of Xiao Shuxiang for being married at such a young age. Though generally the married age of a cultivator whom he knew was at a distance of 100 to 500 Years.


Wang Yu exhaled, he looked at Hu Li and apologized. "We cannot allow an uninvited person to ascend to the Upper Cultivation Realm. We just run errands, don't dare to oppose."


Gao Shan's eyebrows shot up, he did not understand. "What do you mean?"


Xiao Shuxiang approached, he said slowly. "You must have understood, there's no way Mr. Gao is an innocent person. Just tell me, how much do you want?"


!!


Wang Yu, Hu Li, Siu Yixin, including Gao Shan himself were shocked. The young man with a beautiful face and looks like a good person is apparently a sly figure. Xiao Shuxiang was clearly negotiating the price of the invitation letter with them.


Gao Shan, "You're bribing me?"


"Mn, right." Xiao Shuxiang spontaneously replied, "There is no need to be holy. We make it simple, you have nothing to lose. How's it?"


Unlike Wang Yu who looked offended, Gao Shan instead smiled and laughed lightly. "Master Xiao, you are very humorous. What can you offer us?"


Wang Yu flinched, he called his friend and was about to scold him when Gao Shan signaled not to interfere. Due to Gao Shan's older age, Wang Yu was only able to comply.


"Well, I didn't think you'd be easy to negotiate with..." Xiao Shuxiang smiled kindly, "How much do you want? Oh? Just tell me,"


"Master Xiao, it depends on how much we are interested in what you want to exchange for an invitation,"


Gao Shan has the guts. He was a person who knew how to deal with a young man like Xiao Shuxiang. To him, it was likely that Xiao Shuxiang was just like a child and another possibility was that this person was a spoiled Young Master. Is correct. It seemed that it was, considering that he introduced a figure like Hu Li as his servant.


"Hm... It's hard..." Xiao Shuxiang muttered softly without knowing what Gao Shan thought of him, "... I have to make an offer. Hm... What if 100 pieces of gold?"


Wang Yu's eyes widened, he was like itchy to want to flick Xiao Shuxiang's forehead for making such a generous offer. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Was that one hundred gold pieces comparable to an invitation to the Upper Cultivation Realm?!


Gao Shan himself flinched, he was sure that the figure before him was not only cunning, but stingy as well. "Master Xiao, do you think the gold pieces are worth exchanging for an invitation?"


"Then 1000? I don't actually have much money..." Xiao Shuxiang so innocently replied, "Do you want a Spirit Stone? But I can only give 100. How's it?"


Gao Shan shook his head, not looking interested at all. Xiao Shuxiang had yet to give up, "If it was the Demonic Core? I can give you 50. What if the Pearl of the Spirit, I have 15. Or do you want wine? You can also bring Hu Li, how?"


!!


Hu Li stared in disbelief at his Young Master Xiao. Since then he had indeed displayed an unusual expression, but now it had grown even more as he had also become an offering item for the invitation to the Upper Cultivation Realm.


Siu Yixin only noticed how Xiao Shuxiang persuaded Gao Shan, nor did she expect that even Hu Li wanted to be handed over by this Alchemist Chef.


In his mind, Siu Yixin considered Xiao Shuxiang dangerous. The young man could use his friends without hesitation as a medium of exchange. This was like another trait Xiao Shuxiang had just uncovered just now.


Gao Shan looked at Hu Li who Xiao Shuxiang had just offered him, "You want me to do what with him?"


"Whatever, Hu Li could do anything. Not only is he strong, he can cook, wash, chop wood, be an adorable pet, even be able to warm your bed. Whatever, Hu Li could do it all. You just need to give him orders,"


As Xiao Shuxiang mentioned the word 'cooking', Hu Li was seen shaking his head. And when the phrase 'warm the bed' said--Gao Shan and Wang Yu immediately choked. Both are dry.


Siu Yixin stared in disbelief at Hu Li, while the young man who was the object of conversation looked embarrassed. His cheeks even flushed.


If only Hu Li had disrespected Xiao Shuxiang, perhaps now he had burned his Young Master alive.
