HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
55 - Proximity

The guidance given to Ling Qing Zhu and the cultivators who were still new to the sect ended after the afternoon. They were taken to a residence where it turned out to be a place to eat.


Ling Qing Zhu did not refuse, he even sat down with four cultivators of whom two were men. It was just that after eating a mouthful of rice, Ling Qing Zhu stood up and took his leave to go to his room.


Along the way he continued to be approached by many cultivators, it was even only a day in this place-there were already three direct proposals given to him.


Ling Qing Zhu certainly did not give a single answer and preferred to walk away. The action was not to make the men give up, but instead made them more eager to pursue him.


Ling Qing Zhu who was now inside his room seemed to be breathing out tired. In this place he was indeed respected, but there were still cultivators who from his sight were extremely shameless.


The white-haired girl decided to clean up. He started walking towards the wooden bulkhead and took a quick shower. He most disliked lingering in the bathtub, let alone considering this sect was not his home.


!!


A loud voice rang out and made Ling Qing Zhu gasp in shock. He hurried to pick up his clothes and pulled his sword. The loud voice just now was obvious because there was a person who dared to barge into his room.


"White Cat...!"


?!


Ling Qing Zhu recognized the voice. He walked out and saw a young man who seemed to enter his room through a window. An act like this only one person can do.


"Shuxiang...?"


Xiao Shuxiang turned around when he heard a familiar voice in his ears. He looked at Ling Qing Zhu in white clothes and long, unclothed hair.


Ling Qing Zhu was actually not sure that this young man he saw was his Guardian, but the guess was immediately dismissed when the young man again called out to him.


"White Cat,"


!!


Only Xiao Shuxiang would behave normally when he saw his face, whether he wore a veil or not. This made Ling Qing Zhu calmer and did not feel the need to be vigilant.


"What are you doing in this place?" ling Qing Zhu's voice was cold. He kept his sword back.


The pretty face he had could lure anyone in, yet it did not seem to apply to Xiao Shuxiang and this was what made his Guardian Master so dazzling.


"Of course follow you," Xiao Shuxiang innocently said, "I can't possibly leave my wife alone in a place of danger. You can't imagine what I've sacrificed to get to this place,"


"I'll be fine. You don't have to worry,"


"How could that be? Forget about Demonic Beasts, I'm worried about the men in this place. Those men are so creepy White Cats, you won't notice it before it's completely pounced on. I don't want that to happen,"


"......."


Ling Qing Zhu was speechless with a gaze that continued to pay attention to the young man before him. He waited and waited until he couldn't take it anymore.


Ling Qing Zhu's voice was cold, "Will you hold my hand?"


Xiao Shuxiang flinched and only realized he had just grabbed the two hands of the girl in front of him. He let go and showed a sullen expression.


Xiao Shuxiang cursed, "I only hold you. Time just like that you don't want to,"


"Hmph, shameful."


"Oh, come. We are married. Would that moment of attention be considered shameful? Other married couples are not like this, the White Cat. I don't even know what else to do with you,"


"......"


Ling Qing Zhu watched as his Guardian Master began to chatter. His facial expression did not change, yet his heart felt warm when he saw the young man in front of him doing fine.


"Shuxiang, you sit down."


Xiao Shuxiang puffed his cheeks, "You must not have listened to me nagging you, right? You're so outrageous,"


Although it was only Xiao Shuxiang who was very chatty, the young man remained seated as Ling Qing Zhu had asked. 


The white-haired girl poured tea on a ceramic cup and placed it on the table, right in front of Xiao Shuxiang. 


Ling Qing Zhu sat face to face with his Guardian, he asked. "Is that dress a servant's dress?"


"True, I became a grass-rooter." Xiao Shuxiang massaged his forehead, "You can imagine how difficult it was. I still can't believe I actually did it,"


"Mn, that must be very enchanting."


"......"


Ling Qing Zhu exhaled softly. It was this young man before him who did not understand his words. He had just praised his Guardian Guardians for being honest with him, Xiao Shuxiang of any kind remained extremely dazzling. Ling Qing Zhu was even looking forward to the moment he saw his Guardian Master working.


"White Cat?"


"Mn? What's up?"


"You have no trouble climbing the Tian l? You didn't have any internal injuries, did you?"


"I'm fine,"


Xiao Shuxiang did see Ling Qing Zhu looking fine. But he was still curious, "I still couldn't calm down. Come and give me your hand,"


"no need. I'm fine,"


"I just want to make sure of it," Xiao Shuxiang urged. "I know that you have a bad habit that likes to endure pain. So give me your hand,"


Xiao Shuxiang actually knew that it was a natural thing since this girl did not want to be called weak.


In the end Ling Qing Zhu gave up, she reached out her right hand and her Guardian seemed to be checking her pulse.


He noticed how Xiao Shuxiang was so seriously examining the condition of his body.


Ling Qing Zhu said calmly, "I know how to use Qi for healing. You don't need to get to this,"


"It doesn't matter, at least it's something I can do for you." Xiao Shuxiang exhaled a sigh of relief as he felt that there was nothing strange about his White Cat's pulse. He returned to drinking his tea.


Ling Qing Zhu, "Where are you sleeping tonight?"


Xiao Shuxiang choked, he coughed and looked at the white-haired girl in front of him. The way his White Cat started the conversation was really something. 


"Ahem, I have my own bamboo hut, though it's not as big and good as your room. Indeed why? Don't tell me you want to invite me to sleep here" Xiao Shuxiang smiled. She was just the origin of the talk and was merely teasing her White Cat. Who knew the girl's reaction was so unexpected.


Ling Qing Zhu calmly spoke, "The bed in this room is comfortable. You can stay, I'll just sit down and study some books."


Xiao Shuxiang smiled bitterly, "Sometimes you really become a very annoying person, White Cat. You're so insensitive,"


"Mn? You want to sleep with me?"


!!


Xiao Shuxiang was surprised to hear an unexpected question just now. So surprised he made the ceramic cup he was holding broke until his hand was hit by hot water.


Ling Qing Zhu's expression did not change, but his eyes seemed to show shock. "Why are you so careless?"


"You're too sensitive now!" xiao Shuxiang's ear tips turned red, "How can you say such a thing so easily? Even without taste at all. You're... Shameless,"


"What's so embarrassing about sleeping together? I'm not asking you to have a husband-wife relationship..." Ling Qing Zhu calmly drank her tea, "You're too young anyway."


Xiao Shuxiang was surprised, the girl in front of him actually said something very clear. The problem is why he is the one who is wrong. "Geez, it's like you've been hundreds of years. You're really my White Cat, aren't you? I didn't know you could talk spontaneously like that..."


"If you're a grown man. You wouldn't have misbehaved that way. You're easy to guess," Ling Qing Zhu shook his head slowly. 


He can talk like that not without reason. Ling Qing Zhu knew that she was married to a cultivator who was over a hundred years old, not to mention the rumors about her Guardian Guardians who liked to go to the brothel. She certainly can't be a plain girl who doesn't know anything.


It was just that upon seeing the reaction of his Guardian this-Ling Qing Zhu became convinced that Xiao Shuxiang had never had such a 'it' relationship with the women. Though usually people who are considered scary tyranny and a figure who brings chaos where may never damage women.


"Surprising," Ling Qing Zhu looked at the young man before him. "I'm curious about what you've been doing all this time when you went to the brothel,"


Xiao Shuxiang coughed softly, "Of course I went there to play, unwind and seek entertainment. Indeed especially? Have you ever been to a place like that?"


Ah, Xiao Shuxiang just woke up. Why would he ask something shameless to Ling Qing Zhu. This beautiful girl was clearly impossible to set foot into such a bad place. He's been talking wrong.


"White Cat, I mean..."


"I've been to the brothel once." Ling Qing Zhu calmly interrupted Xiao Shuxiang's remark, he again made a sound. "There are only women in that place. I can't find a guy who's handsome and worth playing with,"
