HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
58 - Not a Threat

Xiao Shuxiang looked at Dao Fang An, "Why did you bring me here?"


"Only in this place can I lecture you." Dao Fang An looked furious as he said, "Now answer, why did you do that to young master Yan Tianhen?"


"You know the truth yourself, Grandpa. You saw it yourself. He's the one who's been looking for trouble with me first, why are you acting like I'm the one who's guilty?"


"Son, there is a huge difference in status between a 'Servant' and a 'Master' even when their cultivation level is high. You yourself only have a nice face and besides that there is nothing to be proud of. But you can just as easily slam young master Yan Tianhen and injure him. Aren't you afraid to die, huh?!"


Xiao Shuxiang crossed his hands, both of his cheeks bulging as he muttered. "I'm much more afraid of being a good person."


The young man muttered very slowly, Dao Fang An obviously could not hear it with his old ears. The man actually thought Xiao Shuxiang was cursed at him.


"Son," Dao Fang An spoke. "I didn't bring you here to make you die in such a horrible way. I helped you just as I helped other cultivators."


Dao Fang An explained, "Many people dream of ascending to the Upper Cultivation Realm in order to improve their talents and techniques. Yet only a few were chosen and most were actually the pride disciples of their respective sects. You happen to be the lucky guy I picked, so can you pay a little respect to me?"


"........"


Dao Fang An saw Xiao Shuxiang not saying anything, but he knew the young man was cursing at him in the heart right now. He then said, "You said... You came here for your wife, right? Don't you think that your actions just now other than getting you into trouble can also drag your wife down?"


"My white cat will be fine,"


"I'm not asking you to talk!" Dao Fang An snapped, "There comes a time where you have to talk and there comes a time where you duck and shut up."


"........"


"Understand your condition now, son. Although you were originally born into a wealthy family and treated like a spoiled 'Young Master', but in this place you are a servant! Your haughty attitude can actually make you die--" Dao Fang An flinched when his shoulder was touched by Xiao Shuxiang. He was jolted for it.


Xiao Shuxiang himself did not feel resentful of being lectured. He showed a very charming smile. He softly said, "Grandfather. We don't know each other, but I thank you for helping me come to this place. You're so good at worrying about me,"


"Who's worried about you? I just don't want to because of you, someone else could be affected."


Xiao Shuxiang had been holding him back since then and now could no longer. He started laughing to make Dao Fang An flinch. The old man blinked while giving an unusual facial expression.


Dao Fang An spoke softly, "Why are you laughing? Nothing funny about my words,"


"Ha ha ha, you're right. There was nothing funny about what you said, but nothing prevented me from laughing either." Xiao Shuxiang's smile re-formed, he made a soft voice. "Listen, I don't know how dangerous that guy named Yan Tianhen is. But you don't know anything about me either."


The expression on Xiao Shuxiang's face this time turned serious. He said, "You see this very low practice of mine. Naturally compared to the people here, Xiao Shuxiang was nothing. But you have to remember, Grandpa. I'm not the kind of person who will accept any oppression. You should be more worried about Yan Tianhen. Because if he dares to look for trouble with me, then not only himself-but anyone close to him will not let go. And these... Not a threat."


Xiao Shuxiang resumed his task of plucking the grass. This time he was helped by Mo Huai. The two of them were near a building that served as a learning place for Ling Qing Zhu and the other cultivators.


"Young Master Xiao, didn't you see Miss Ling today?" Mo Huai asked as he put the grass he had plucked into the wicker basket.


"White cat looks seriously learned. I don't want to bother him, after all I have a troublesome job with these weeds."


Mo Huai could see how diligently Xiao Shuxiang plucked the grass and placed it in a bamboo woven basket. He exhaled and felt that the actions of this young man were in vain.


"Young Master Xiao," Mo Huai said softly. His facial expression was solemn, "Aren't you better go sword practice or figure out how to raise your practice? If it continues like this... Someone will definitely bully you."


"Mn, I just happened to be bullied earlier." Xiao Shuxiang said to the point of making Mo Huai look at him. He continued, "There were three disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect one of whom was named Yan Tianhe who bullied me just now. They must be upset right now,"


"Young Master Xiao? You've only been here one night and you've been making trouble?!" Mo Huai did not know what to say, he really did not believe it.


"The problem always comes without me looking for it. It's like... I'm a fool with problems,"


Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and shook his head slowly. His activity of plucking the grass with Mo Huai was witnessed by Dao Fang An.


On the other hand, Liu Wei Lin was together with the four best disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect. They were very famous disciples in this place. Even the other sects that were also in the Upper Cultivation Realm paid their respects to them.


The Cloud Sea Sect actually had 7 Holy Mountain Peaks. There were seven best teachers in that place whose cultivation practice had already reached the 'Immortal' level'. Liu Wei Lin himself was the first disciple of Peak Elder Jiang.


There was once in two weeks, every top disciple of Holy Mountain Peak would have a meeting. They usually sit in conversation while occasionally fighting with each other. Yet whenever there was a meeting like this, only five disciples could always attend.


All the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect knew, even Liu Wei Lin knew about it. The only saint mountain peak elder who had never raised a single disciple was Peak Elder Jin Cheng. In fact, many want to study with him.


Wen Gao Chong's tone sounded insinuating as he said, "Brother Liu, I heard you are familiar with a servant. What was? Could it be that your taste has been declining lately, hm?"


"He's not a servant, his status is even lower than that." Liu Wei Lin smiled and looked at the dark red-clothed man whose body was high-muscled.


While moving his fan softly, Liu Wei Lin again said. "That Xiao Shuxiang brother is the new grass-rooter in the sect,"


"You really call it 'Brother'?" Wen Gao Chong flinched, he snorted. "Huh, you must be crazy. He's from the lower classes, are you really going to call him 'Brother'?"


"Why can't it?" liu Wei Lin's expression did not change. He drank the tea that was on the table full of passion.
