HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
68 - Defense

Xiao Shuxiang was silent for a moment before starting to speak up, he touched his lips and with a plain look said. "Chairman Jiao Feng, do you think I can give that fatal attack to your three disciples directly? Could it be that I could face three people at once without... Getting hurt bad?"


!!


Liu Wei Lin and Jiao Feng were shocked when they heard Xiao Shuxiang's words just now. The two looked at each other and thought about what they heard. Xiao Shuxiang's words were clearly very true.


Liu Wei Lin did not hear any news that his new friend was seriously injured. All this time, he saw Xiao Shuxiang actually working as usual. 


"Chairman Jiao..." Liu Wei Lin stared deeply at the man standing beside him.


Jiao Feng himself looked towards Xiao Shuxiang, "Honestly... Looking at your cultivation practice-this-I wouldn't believe you could make my three disciples hurt that badly, but Ye Qin Jiu mentioned that you were the culprit. How can you explain this?"


"Elder Jiao, a cultivator with strong practices could have lost if he had underestimated his weaker-looking opponent too much. I claimed to have met your three disciples, but they were the ones who attacked me first. I had no idea what their problem was until I did that. I never bothered anyone myself. But if it makes them hurt badly... Elder Jiao can think of it for himself, can I really do it?"


"That is definitely impossible," Liu Wei Lin expressed his opinion, "Ye's junior-martial sister has a practice in the Mortal level Grand Master, not to mention her other two colleagues. The three of them were strong, but often acted recklessly. They also always underestimate the opponent, so if it were to lose so shamefully--I wouldn't be surprised."


Jiao Feng sighed, he apologized to Xiao Shuxiang. "I'm sorry. My students are very naughty and cannot respect others. They've been troubling you, but are you all right?"


"Actually if not to utilize the trees here as a place to protect myself-I would definitely be the one to be seriously injured," Xiao Shuxiang said honestly. He did rely on the trees in the forest as a helper of his every move as well as his attacks.


"You must be very troubled..." Jiao Feng touched the shoulder of the young man before him, "When in a fight-sometimes my disciple was too focused on the attack to forget the surrounding conditions. They are in a state of ganged on you, they must have been injured because they were hit by stray attacks on each other. I'm grateful that you were able to survive in such a difficult situation,"


Xiao Shuxiang smiled, Jiao Feng is a man who has an open mind so that he can think of all possible forms that can happen. He also thanked.


Jiao Feng's right hand gently lifted and just a light touch-a paper scroll had suddenly been in his grasp. He grabbed Xiao Shuxiang's hand and began to slowly say, "I don't know what to give you as an apology, but I hope you will accept this."


Xiao Shuxiang blinked and slowly unrolled the scroll that Jiao Feng had given him. He was actually a bit nervous about accepting it. Honestly, he hoped that the contents of the scroll were something very useful and he had been looking for. Too bad, when he looked carefully-Him was immediately stunned and very distrustful.


"........."


"Hows it? You like it, don't you?" Liu Wei Lin smiled happily. It felt as if he did not know that he had just broken someone's hope by now.


"He was speechless," Jiao Feng blinked and then turned his head towards Liu Wei Lin, "It seems that it is indeed a suggestion from Wei Lin. His new friend will be so happy that he can't express his happiness,"


"........."


Judging from the sincere smiles Jiao Feng and Liu Wei Lin had already revealed the identities of those two people who were completely insensitive human types.


Xiao Shuxiang tried to smile, "This is a shocking gift. Thank you, I'll keep it."


Jiao Feng, "Good if you like. Wei Lin suggested this gift, I thought you would refuse. He's right, you seem to admire his art."


Xiao Shuxiang simply smiled in response. He long conversed with the two cultivators and until the moment they finally said their farewells and saw the two backs of the person getting further away - Xiao Shuxiang's smile slowly faded away.


The handsome and dazzling young man sighed as he shook his head slowly, "Haiih... I must be crazy. Why would they give me a scroll containing this collection of useless poems? I didn't even say I liked it. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Xiao Shuxiang-you seem to have turned into a good person. You didn't give any objection at all, you... Haaah... You're becoming a little stupid."


Xiao Shuxiang blew hard on his front hair bangs and stored the scroll inside his Spatial Ring. He shook his head slowly, but this time his face looked very cold.


Xiao Shuxiang looked seriously ahead, there was a glimmer of a suspicious smile on her beautiful lips.


"I'll remember this. I'll definitely get it back,"

"Why was Wang Zhao so long?" Xiao Shuxiang slightly closed his mouth as he yawned. The moon was already hanging up there and the young man whom he had told to drag the wooden sword around the surroundings of the Cloud Sea Sect had yet to return.


"Yes my... Where is the kid? Don't tell me he met a savage beast and died," Xiao Shuxiang clucked and then descended from the stone of his seat.


To this day, he had skipped doing his job of plucking weeds. He had even hidden three times when he saw Dao Fang An walking while looking for him. But Wang Zhao had not even revealed the trunk of his nose.


"The child must not die. He's the one who can help me get out of this sect," Xiao Shuxiang wanted to leave. But not leaving the Upper Cultivation Realm.


He only wanted to get out of the Cloud Sea Sect and adventure elsewhere. He couldn't possibly remain and become a servant in this sect. He has a more important mission.


Xiao Shuxiang decided to look for Wang Zhao within the outer forest and it was quite time consuming until he found the young man asleep while leaning against a tree trunk. Seeing him made Xiao Shuxiang shake his head slowly.


"Brother Wang...? Brother Wang, let's get up. Why are you sleeping here?" Xiao Shuxiang patted Wang Zhao on the cheek and woke him up.


The young man's eyelashes began to tremble and finally opened. Wang Zhao groaned softly before starting to wipe his eyes. He really is like just waking up.


Xiao Shuxiang clucked, "Excellent. I waited for you all day, even to sunbathe in the hot sun and you actually feel good to sleep here. Waahs... Justjust wonderful. You're the only one who can keep me loyal waiting for someone to come that way,"


"Mr Xiao, I'm sorry." Wang Zhao said slowly. "I was too tired to drag the heavy wooden sword. I rested for a while, but unconsciously I fell asleep. I really didn't mean to, let alone mean to make you wait a long time."


"Haiy... Is the exercise I gave you too heavy?"


"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao. I'm the one who's too weak..."


Xiao Shuxiang exhaled, "Go back to your room and rest. I want to make you strong with this exercise, not make you a corpse. We'll continue training tomorrow,"


"Thank you, Mr. Xiao. Sorry to bother you," Wang Zhao slowly began to stand up. Both of his hands were until red and his entire body itself was aching right now. He just wanted to go back to his room to break down.


Xiao Shuxiang picked up the one meter tall wooden sword and then inserted it into the Spatial Ring. He had no trouble lifting it.


Xiao Shuxiang walked with Wang Zhao and only parted ways when he himself stepped his feet towards the bamboo hut. There apparently was already waiting for Dao Fang An with a sour facial expression.
