HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]

HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
48 - New Identity

Xiao Shuxiang flinched, he had just arrived and was now already ruled?! Oh, Jesus...! If only not for the sake of being able to go to the Upper Cultivation Realm, perhaps the current Old Bangka had lost his heart.


Xiao Shuxiang's hand trembled slightly as he was about to touch the wagon's handle. However before actually touching it, Xiao Shuxiang's hand stopped in midair.


"I have a Spatial Ring, why make myself look so low?"


"Hey, hey... Boy." the old man interjected, he seemed to know what Xiao Shuxiang was thinking. "You'd better not do anything, let alone eliminate my cart and vegetables."


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, he immediately protested. "I didn't lose it, Old Grandpa. I put it in my heirloom. That makes your job easier,"


"No, you can't do it. Foodstuffs obtained from their own energy are better cooked. Although I did not plant it, but pushing it with this wagon also uses energy. Taking it the way you do it will ruin the taste, so you should push this wagon. Use your arm muscles. Hurry along!"


"You-"


"What?" the old man interrupted, "Ah... I just remembered. You seem like the spoiled Young Master. I'm old and I still push the cart up the mountain, but you.... Tsk, tsk, tsk."


!!


The veins formed on Xiao Shuxiang's forehead. It's humiliation! His age was much older than this sharp-tongued grandfather, but he had just felt humiliated.


"Heah... Young people today do have a weak physique. They are lazy to work, but want to succeed. They even lost to an old-grandfather"


"Enough, Old Bangka. I'm pushing the wagon right now, look at this!" Xiao Shuxiang did not want to hear it anymore. 


Hu Li himself could only shut up and pay attention to how his Young Master was grumbling while pushing the wagon. He smiled at his master.


Xiao Shuxiang shook his head, "Haiih... For ten lives... This is the first time I've pushed a cart. Truly the first in Xiao Shuxiang's life, so be proud!"


"There was no need to say much," the old man patted Xiao Shuxiang's buttocks leaving the young man stunned. He himself looked innocent when he said, "Let's go!"


"Di-he... The old Bangka...! How dare...!!"

"Mr Gao, are you sure you don't want to? I can introduce you to a lot of pretty girls, how about that?" Nie Shang opened and closed the folding fan in his hand, he used a light movement.


It had been a long time that he and Siu Yixin had persuaded Gao Shan. Various means had been done, even to the extent of being embarrassing for Nie Shang-but this cultivator had an extremely powerful stance.


"Other thing I have to offer you..." Nie Shang muttered as he exhaled. He turned his head and frowned when he saw Xiao Shuxiang coming while pushing a wagon.


!?


Siu Yixin also saw it. He and Nie Shang got jolted by it, they blinked a few times.


"Brother Xiao? I didn't think you could push the vegetable wagon either," Nie Shang's voice was just plain, but for some reason it sounded like it was a tap in Xiao Shuxiang's ear.


"♬♪ Yo, I just saw it. You turned out to be a great fit carrying a wagon yo! ♬♪"


Nah. That's just the real lead. Xiao Shuxiang blew his front bangs hard because of Siu Yixin's words. He was just about to curse at the man when Nie Shang's voice came back.


"Brother Xiao, your wagon is not like a regular vegetable cart. It feels like now it looks authoritative,"


"Brother Nie? Sure oes. This wagon was touched by a Xiao Shuxiang. Obviously very different because I'm amazing,"


"But Brother Xiao, pfft.. You're compatible with that wagon..."


"Nie Shang's. You mocked me? Exorbitant,"


"Hmph, an Old Bangka is in trouble. Although I am not a good person, this Xiao Shuxiang still has a conscience. I ended up not being as elegant as this-Ah!"


Xiao Shuxiang spontaneously moaned as Old Grandpa beside him again patted his butt. He was startled and looked at the furious Old Bangka. "Why do you keep doing that to my ass? You want me to call you the Perverted Old Man, huh?!"


The Old Grandfather casually said, "Because I don't want to hit you in the head. What did you say just now? Aren't you the one asking for help, hm? The one in trouble is you, why be me?"


"Aiya, you offered me Old Grandpa's job. It wasn't me who asked for it,"


Nie Shang shook his head. Even to the old man, this Brother Xiao would not budge. It was just that somehow he felt astonished because how could there be an Old Grandpa in a place like this.


Unlike Nie Shang who was flustered-Gao Shan on the other hand was precisely shocked at seeing the Old Grandfather. He blinked and frowned so unreliable. He looked closely at the Old Grandfather and was convinced that the man was indeed a person he knew.


"Brother Xiao? You don't suspect why there's an Old Grandpa in this place?" Nie Shang could not keep his stolen feelings anymore.


"Ah... He was a servant from the Upper Cultivation Realm," Xiao Shuxiang looked at Old Bangka beside him and again said, "He came to prepare groceries for the invited guests. It seemed like those Upper Realm Cultivators only ate clouds, wind, air. Aye, right?"


Xiao Shuxiang's tone of voice seemed to be soft, but Nie Shang actually believed that even his lips formed a perfect 'O. If the alleged friend is right, then it is appropriate to prepare food.


Cultivators generally practiced 'Inedia'. They can survive a few days without food, but there will still be a time limit. Especially among the invited guests there were people like Mo Huai who not only had weak practices, but it was also difficult not to rely on food.


"You too are now a servant. Your status is even lower than mine," the old man also did not want to lose in tipping Xiao Shuxiang, "You're a subordinate, so start working and lift the basket up there."


!!


Nie Shang and Siu Yixin were shocked. They don't believe it if they don't hear it. Xiao Shuxiang now had a new profession and it was a servant.


"Waaah... This is great news," Nie Shang was amazed by it.


Xiao Shuxiang, "It is better to keep this matter a secret, Brother Nie. I don't want my name to be so incredibly tarnished."


"Ha ha ha, is it kept secret from what Xiao Shuxiang is? I've heard it." a cultivator who was also an invited guest of the Upper Cultivation Realm interjected, he looked so happy.


"You're so fast with that cart and that vegetable. It really suits you!" The other cultivators did not stay silent to ridicule Xiao Shuxiang.


"Young Master Xiao... Don't take their heart," Hu Li calmed his Young Master. "Patience... It's testing... Take a deep breath and exhale.."


"I'm fine, Hu Li." Xiao Shuxiang was not angry, nor was he upset. But he will remember this debt. Xiao Shuxiang will definitely pay for it.


Xiao Shuxiang began to stare at the contents of the wagon which had about six large baskets. "Do you want me to take all these vegetable baskets up that ladder at once?"


"Take what you can bring. The rest leave here, I will wait until Young Master Gao is done with his work,"


Xiao Shuxiang looked at the old man, "For the first time you've been kind to me. Haaah... All right, I'll bring this one."


Hu Li helped his Young Master when Xiao Shuxiang was about to carry a sizable basket on his back. His master also took a rather small basket to carry by hugging from the front. Aahs.. Despite carrying these kinds of items yet Xiao Shuxiang looked dazzling.


"Oh, I forgot." The old man reached into his pocket. He took out a black wooden token and slipped the item in the basket that Xiao Shuxiang was carrying.


"What was that-" just now Xiao Shuxiang wanted to ask, suddenly someone darted behind him and jolted everyone.


!!


There were cultivators who took advantage of the opportunity to climb the stairs leading to the Upper Cultivation Realm. He darted as fast as he could, yet when his feet were treading on a rung-a-step immediately the cultivator's body was pulled strongly downward. Next, a long cry sounded.


Xiao Shuxiang just blinked looking at the incident that lasted a split second. The cultivator who knew who it was fell down just like that. Even the stairs he stepped on seemed unreal.
