HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
56 - Disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect

Xiao Shuxiang nearly fell out of his chair. He approached her White Cat and held both of the girl's shoulders. Ling Qing Zhu consciously stood up and felt astonished by the actions of the young man before him.


"Shuxiang-"


"White Cat, have you ever gone to a brothel to find a man?! When did that happen? Why don't I know?!" Xiao Shuxiang held tightly onto Ling Qing Zhu's two shoulders.


"Mrs... I think about 5 years ago. Before I met you," Ling Qing Zhu spoke in a calm voice. "I've... Go to that place,"


Xiao Shuxiang was stunned before speaking, "You're not as innocent as I thought you were..."


The young man grabbed his White Cat's hand and pulled it to talk somewhere else.


It was the porch located at the back of Ling Qing Zhu's room. They were outside while being accompanied by the sounds of the night beasts.


"Tell me, how can you go to a brothel let alone look for a handsome man? Have you ever broken your sect's rules?" Xiao Shuxiang sat down and pulled Ling Qing Zhu to sit beside him. He had never heard much about his wife's life.


Ling Qing Zhu blinked and then looked straight ahead. He had not expected the Guardian Guardians' reaction to be excessive like this.


Calmly, Ling Qing Zhu said. "I was just curious and happened to be on a mission. I went to that place. Not breaking the rules at all,"


"So what about that handsome guy you're looking for?"


"none. It's unfortunate,"


Xiao Shuxiang blinked, he almost had trouble speaking. "You're really serious about looking for a handsome guy to play with... In the brothel?!"


"Mrs,"


"wait. White Cat, you know the word 'play' I mean, right? Play that like 'it'."


"That's also what I mean."


!!


Xiao Shuxiang was in heavy shock, "You... I didn't know you could be this old. You're not really sick, are you?"


"You are childish."


"I'm steeped in my role as a young man of passion." Xiao Shuxiang looked at the girl beside him, he exhaled and now his voice sounded a bit sad. "But... You really don't matter, do you?"


"Mn?" Ling Qing Zhu looked at his Guardian Protector, "What do you mean?"


This time Xiao Shuxiang looked solemn, "Tied in a marriage relationship with me must be burdensome to you..."


"......"


"When walking in Tian l. You must feel that regret, right?"


!?


Ling Qing Zhu gasped and spontaneously looked at his Guardian Protector. His eyes could not lie that he was not surprised.


"You're really sorry, right?" Xiao Shuxiang tried to smile, "Although in the eyes of ordinary people we have a not much different age, but you yourself know the truth. In your heart it must-"


"true." Ling Qing Zhu interrupted and made his Guardian Protector flinch, "I'm sorry but not because of you. It's because I'm the one who feels it's inappropriate to have this relationship with you. You're... Is it gonna be okay?"


Xiao Shuxiang shook his head softly, "I wanted to hug you instead."


"Go away," Ling Qing Zhu pushed his Guardian Patron slowly. 


Xiao Shuxiang smiled and looked up to look at the night sky. He only said such words without ever acting more than he should.


He never hugged Ling Qing Zhu if the girl did not want to. And come to think of it, Xiao Shuxiang had indeed never hugged his White Cat even after they were married.


Xiao Shuxiang, "I guess... It's the first time I've sat with you in a long time."


"........." Ling Qing Zhu listened to the speech of the young man beside him without saying anything.


Xiao Shuxiang continued, "I guess... This is also the first time you've talked so much. That's actually a good thing, you should always do it."


"I talk when I want to." Ling Qing Zhu let out a slow breath and then looked forward. "Do you want to stay?"


Xiao Shuxiang, "White Cat. Can't you ask anything else? You talk like that it feels like I'm being evicted."


"No way,"


"That's right. The word 'Do you want to stay?' sounds like, 'If you want to stay, then stay here. And if you don't want to, then leave quickly'. The point is you want to tell me, 'Shuxiang. Are you going or not? If you don't want to stay, then leave! You're a bully!'"


Ling Qing Zhu looked at the young man beside him and was stunned. He said, "You're smart."


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, he was originally just the origin of speaking. But who knew that was indeed the intent of Ling Qing Zhu's remark to him. He didn't even know what to say.


Ling Qing Zhu's facial expression never changed, "So how?"


Xiao Shuxiang puffed his cheeks before finally speaking, "I really want to stay. But can it really be? You're not gonna be in trouble because of me, are you?"


"Don't know. I haven't said anything about you to the teachers in this place. It might be a problem,"


"Then I'll go back to my bamboo hut, but I'll come every night. Please don't just prepare tea, I also want food. Understood?"


"Hmph, shameless."


"Although shameless, but I still remain handsome dazzling. All right, see you soon...!"


!!


"........"


Though the day was still not too late and Xiao Shuxiang was already gone. The young man loved to come and go. It's very disrespectful.


"........"


Ling Qing Zhu was silent for quite a while and then exhaled softly.


The expression on his face remained the same even the look on his eyes. It's just that even though it's vague, he seems a little sad. 


"........."


Perhaps, Ling Qing Zhu actually still wanted someone to sit longer by his side. But the girl was too considerate to never be honest with her own feelings and desires.


On the other hand, there are people who actually really like to spend time discussing many things. But he also really likes to make people feel annoyed at him.


Xiao Shuxiang set his foot on a tree branch and shot back. He smiled faintly when he imagined Ling Qing Zhu was thinking about his actions leaving just like that.


"Girls like the White Cat do have to be taught a little lesson. Who told him to leave me without saying anything. Now let Xiao Shuxiang reply to you slowly, but I still have to be careful not to overdo it, anyway,"

In the morning, Xiao Shuxiang returned to carry out his task of plucking the grass. He had already been accosted several times by the female disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect.


Mo Huai had just come with a basket filled with clothes ready to be sun dried. He saw Xiao Shuxiang so diligently plucking the grass and flashing about because of it.


It was unexpected that someone who had an extraordinary nickname was now a person whose level was even lower than a servant.


Mo Huai shook his head slowly and then walked over to Xiao Shuxiang. When he was near the young man, he called out to him. "Young Master Xiao?"


Xiao Shuxiang slightly looked up, "Mn? What's up?"


"Don't you mind being treated like that? I feel sorry for seeing you. Really not the heart,"


"You want how else...? The old Bangka infuriatingly watched me from afar since earlier," Xiao Shuxiang used his eyes to point at Dao Fang An who was sweeping not far from where he was.


Mo Huai only realized that Old Grandfather had occasionally turned his head and seemed to make sure that Xiao Shuxiang would still pluck the grass as he should.


Mo Huai exhaled, "But do you still receive this kind of treatment? You're seriously not mad?"


"Let's just say I'm raising a charity. After all, that Old Bangka didn't really restrain me. I can still rest and continue plucking the grass after. He's not angry at all,"


Mo Huai stared deeply at Xiao Shuxiang, his facial expression difficult to decipher.


He actually did not like it if Xiao Shuxiang was treated casually, he also honestly wanted to scold the dazzling young man. If it was him, he would have gone berserk.


Mo Huai's facial expression darkened slightly. "Young Master Xiao, if you continue like this... You can be a figure. I won't take it,"


Xiao Shuxiang slightly flinched. For the first time she heard Mo Huai's voice being so cold. He blinked seeing Mo Huai's cheeks bulging, he simply did not understand the intent of the 'figurant' mentioned earlier.


"Mo Huai, are you angry?"


"I will finish my work quickly and will help you. Your hands are too good to pull the grass,"


!!


Xiao Shuxiang was surprised by Mo Huai's behavior as he stomped his feet. He smiled as he watched the young man's actions which he found funny and adorable.


"Aiya... Mo Huai had a sweet smile. Given a little practice, her body will begin to form beautifully like mine." Xiao Shuxiang returned to his activities, but occasionally he thought about the condition of Mo Huai's body whose muscles had not yet been perfectly formed.


Mo Huai was still at the second level of Forging Qi practice. His body was still like an ordinary human and was like a very weak young man. Xiao Shuxiang was certain that the young man was even still trembling while holding the sword, especially if asked to swing it.


Dao Fang An noticed Xiao Shuxiang's work from earlier. He who had finished sweeping finally approached the young man.


It was just that Dao Fang An had yet to get close to the young man, something had suddenly happened to Xiao Shuxiang.


!!


There were three red-clothed youths passing near Xiao Shuxiang and accidentally one of them kicked the bamboo webbing containing the grass that Xiao Shuxiang had already painstakingly pulled out and collected.


Instead of apologizing, the young man looked very arrogantly at Xiao Shuxiang and scolded him. "The servant does not know himself. Don't you see I'm walking, huh?!"


Dao Fang An had a bad face. This isn't good. The one who scolded Xiao Shuxiang was Yan Tianhen. To him, he was one of the terrifying figures in the Cloud Sea Sect.


"Hey, stupid! Do you have ears?! Why are you silent like a rock. Quickly apologize to Young Master Yan!"


The other young man who was with Yan Tianhen also let out harsh words to Xiao Shuxiang. He was just about to return to talk when suddenly a gust of wind out of nowhere blew himself hard.


!!


Yan Tianhen had not had time to react with his companion's state that had already bounced very far-off-when his own body collapsed like it was being suppressed by something.


Dao Fang An's eyes opened wide and subconsciously held his breath. He did not know what was happening, even his legs seemed to be unable to move. He saw Xiao Shuxiang already sitting on Yan Tianhen's stomach while gripping the young man's neck.


"What did you say?" xiao Shuxiang's voice was calm, but the look in his eyes was terrifying. "You should be the one apologizing to me. Are your eyes just a display, huh? If you don't wear it to look, then it's better to just gouge."
