HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
4 - Urge

The Mad Beggar boy had just arrived and was astonished to see how the 15 disciples were lying unconscious, while the rest spread out to spit out their entrails.


He also saw Ling Dong Hun. The old man held his forehead and occasionally shook his head. It felt as if the man was trying to eliminate the sound of the ringing in his ears.


“Great..he has really made history.” Although the tone of the sentence spoken by the Mad Beggar Boy was like a compliment, but his facial expression displayed the opposite.


Xiao Shuxiang himself looked silent and like he was thinking of something. He seemed to be in his own world without regard to the condition of the Heavenly Pagoda Sect disciples or Ling Dong Hun. “Only ‘SongPrecision’ that I can play well. While that song.. The placement of each tone was wrong and so messy. I have a lot to practice,”


The song he played was from the Northern Continent and was included in the collection of songs ‘Pemerihan’. Xiao Shuxiang learned a song that could cleanse the heart and balance these thoughts for starters. His real goal was to master the better use of his White Jade Flute.


The White Jade Flute is one of the Heavenly Heritage. How great this weapon was depended on Xiao Shuxiang's abilities. Honestly, he was not very talented in the art of music. Compared to blowing a flute-he was easier to swing this weapon like when using a sword.


“Xiao Shuxiang.!” The Crazy Beggar Boy exclaimed and rushed over to the black-robed young man. He was momentarily blown away due to Xiao Shuxiang's appearance being different from before, let alone this young man's hair appearing wavy.


“Shuxiang? Don't you have straight hair?” The Mad Beggar Boy could not help but ask, only that he immediately realized his purpose of being here. “Forget my question just now. You here, what have you done? Are you going to die if you don't make a fuss for a day, huh?!”


Xiao Shuxiang looked at the ghost-faced man hanging before him and calmly replied, “I'm entertaining my fans. Wh why? You want to join?”


“Attractive? What expression of mass poisoning is entertainment to you?!” The Mad Beggar Boy was extremely annoyed to see the innocent face of this black-robed young man. “You're married now, Shuxiang. At least reduce your mischief a little and try to be mature!”


“Indeed what have I done?” Xiao Shuxiang replied, “They helped me train because White Cats are so busy they can't hear my flute. You're also hard to find and my Father-in-law forbade me from making trouble in the city. So this is all I can think of, or... Do you have any other suggestions?”


Hearing Xiao Shuxiang's words made the look on Crazy Beggar's face change. Her tone became serious even though her makeup was ridiculous. “You said Ling Chu Zhen forbid you from making trouble in the city? But why did you commit a massacre in Long Yan's tavern?”


?!


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, his forehead shrinking with what he had just heard from the mouth of this bamboo stick man. He also snorted, “Hah. Wait a minute, you said I was... Doing what?”


“Not just one, but four places during these three months. Do I need to remind you? First is the family residence of ‘Xiao’, second is the Twin Sword Party, third is Shui Village and last is Long Yan Store. Do you think you can lie to me?”


!!


Xiao Shuxiang got up from his seat, it was obvious that the Mad Beggar Boy was not joking. But what the fuck is this?!


“The massacre for the residence was indeed mine because they had a relationship with Gong Zitao. But for the remaining three places, I wasn't involved at all. I'm not lying.”


“Xiao Shuxiang!”


“Crazy Beggar Boy, don't provoke my emotions. I just admit what I really did. Who did you listen to that dared to accuse me like this? Let me break the guy's neck,” Xiao Shuxiang looked at the Crazy Beggar Boy before then blowing his front bangs. 


“If not you, then who? The one who kills in the most inhumane way in this place is just you.”


“Hah, amazing.” Xiao Shuxiang sneered, “Am I the only notoriously ruthless cultivator in the Middle Continent? Am I the only one from the Black Stream? If I did it, no one would not know it. I prefer to do it in a bright place and be witnessed by many people. Just like I did to the family of that rich merchant.” Xiao Shuxiang's voice was cold. At first glance, his eye color turned red before returning to normal.


"Xiao Shuxiang, I know who you are." the voice of the Mad Beggar Boy sounded solemn, but this time its tone was rather low. "You can at least resist your bloodthirsty desires,"


"Buddy, you think I'm going to be that crazy?"


The Sky Pagoda Sect Senior Disciple was seen holding his breath. The atmosphere between Xiao Shuxiang and the Crazy Beggar Boy was tense.


Ling Dong Hun himself had yet to get out of his seat. He was so focused on recovering from his hearing that it was still a bit ringing. His other students also appeared to be in good condition.


The Mad Beggar Boy urged, "Why don't you want to be honest? You did, right? The only person who can do such a cruel act is you. Confess!"


Xiao Shuxiang had a bad expression. "What am I supposed to be honest with you? I did make trouble at the 'Xiao' family residence and the rest were completely unrelated to me. Are you looking for trouble?"


When noticed, the atmosphere around Xiao Shuxiang with the Crazy Beggar Boy was indeed not good. Their debate which if it continued would definitely cause trouble. But like a storm, both are difficult to guess.


Just look, it wasn't until ten minutes of arguing - Xiao Shuxiang and the Crazy Beggar Boy got back together. Both of them were even now seen thinking about the incidents that had happened lately.


The Mad Beggar Boy stared at Xiao Shuxiang, his voice soft. "A lot of news I've heard about you, it's just that things aren't good. You sure you don't want to clear your own name?"


"no need. It's much better to stay that way. At least they'll be scared and not dare to look for me."


"It's good that they have fear, but what if they don't? Look, the news of the massacre-there's someone like trying to frame you,"


Xiao Shuxiang could not help but care about the matter when he was accused of doing something he did not do at all. The thing was, about the massacre that the Crazy Beggar Boy said just now made him feel uneasy. It was as if something inside his half-dead chest had suddenly come to life.


"Slaying for no reason is just what I did in the past. But..." Xiao Shuxiang muttered, he looked at the bamboo stick man before him before returning to speak, "Do you know in detail on the day to which the incident occurred?"


Seeing Xiao Shuxiang's expression made the Mad Beggar Boy smile-she sneered, "Hmm? Wh why? Have you started to remember anything?"


!?


Xiao Shuxiang flinched and spontaneously struck the head of the Mad Beggar Boy with his White Jade Flute. He made the bamboo stick man groan in pain and cursed him.


"Crazy Beggar, stop teasing me and just say it. I'm not kidding, okay?"


"Who is joking with you?! Adoption. I just feel it... You look agitated and like you just remembered you've done a crime. This is a senior instinct and I strongly believe in my premonition," the Mad Beggar Boy rubbed his head, "Shabby.. That flute you shouldn't use to pin people's heads. Sh... You're always hurting me,"


The previously silent Sky Pagoda Sect Senior Disciple now ventured to join the conversation of the two youths before him, he looked at Xiao Shuxiang. "Young Master, this is just news I heard. But the pause of each incident was at least about 19 days."


The Mad Beggar Boy could see the change in the look on Xiao Shuxiang's face. At first he thought that this young man was just pretending to forget, but it didn't seem so.


Actually the reason why the Mad Beggar Boy kept urging Xiao Shuxiang to confess his deeds was because he could smell the scent of blood on the young man's body - although it was indeed so faint.


He was a swordsman who controlled Energy In Temperature, his kisses were so sharp that even Xiao Shuxiang would not be able to cover any foreign blood as thin as him.


"Shuxiangsu... Let's see, whether until now you still held to your principles as a cultivator who never lied or you've long since discarded that principle..."
