HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
6 - Ling Family Member

Xiao Shuxiang, "That means... When I dreamt of past events that slaughtered villages-I actually did it to the real world? Is that also the same thing as the recent Long Yan tavern incident?"


The Mad Beggar Boy said, "It could be like that. This Dream Demon ability was indeed very great. If he had chosen his target, then anyone would definitely find it difficult to escape."


Ling Dong Hun, "Young Master Xiao. From now on, you better not fall asleep too soundly."


Xiao Shuxiang, "Doing that is very difficult, Uncle. Moreover, you know that I have a habit of going straight to sleep in seconds when my head has touched the pillow. Aiya, if this is my choice is really only one. I must stay awake, not sleep."


“So... I slaughtered those I thought were just dreams.” Xiao Shuxiang held his breath, "What a great ability.I don't even know I'm under the influence of a skill.. Ah.. Do you know how to deal with this Dream Devil..?"


Xiao Shuxiang knew that as a cultivator, he could refrain from sleeping even for weeks. But it was important to know that a cultivator was a living being and he himself was not a God either.


Ling Dong Hun shook his head, "I'm sorry... But this cultivator from the Demon Valley was extremely difficult to deal with,"


The Crazy Beggar Boy nodded, "They are very troublesome. I have faced some of them in the past, but until now there was nothing I could kill. They're a group that can just appear and disappear,"


Unknowingly, Xiao Shuxiang felt a throbbing pain in his heart. If the Mad Beggar Boy whose incident was a swordsman as well as the oldest World Pillar only said so, then it was true that this Demon Valley Sect was extremely dangerous.


"You... Sure they're that strong?" Xiao Shuxiang felt like he had to find out more.


"Shuxiang..." The Mad Beggar Boy exhaled, "... I can say that if they wanted to be serious, then you wouldn't have earned your title as the Destroying Star. The Eastern Continent you're so desperate to destroy... Can be easily drowned. 'Taking the world to despair and drowning it all in misery' is the watchword of the Demon Valley Sect."


Ling Dong Hun nodded, "Right... I have read information related to this sect. People in the Middle Continent can live life as it is now because of their compassion. An empire could stand firm not because of the wisdom of a leader, but because the Demon Valley Sect gave them a chance. So even every sect and party that now gets the name of their pride... It can all go well is because they give permission."


!!


"It turns out that it is the same," Xiao Shuxiang began to understand it, "... This Demon Valley Sect has something in common with my people. Just like the creatures of that world that gave the ability for otherworldly beings to live... This Demon Valley Sect also did so,"


Xiao Shuxiang spoke softly, "... That means I'm still very weak,"


The Mad Beggar Boy saw that there was emotion on the look on the young man's face beside him, "I don't know. To me... You have immeasurable power. Human weakness is actually their heart, but for your case... Your weakness is that you are unable to control your own strength,"


Actually the Mad Beggar Boy wanted to say that Xiao Shuxiang had two weaknesses. But if he mentioned one more, then it was likely that even this young man-to-death would never admit it.


As the three continued walking while discussing about the Demon Valley Sect and the Sun Killing Book-unknowingly they were already in the deepest region of the Sky Pagoda Sect.


Coincidentally at the same time, Ling Chu Zhen was seen walking hand in hand with two members of his family who were none other than Ling Jian Tou and Ling Qing Zhu.


This 'Ling' family was not only attractive because of their white hair and cold expression-but also because of their very talkative nature.


Xiao Shuxiang and the Crazy Beggar Boy who was born as a talkative and casual figure were very confident that this 'Ling' family was the most harmonious family ever.


"......."


"......."


The gazes of Ling Chu Zhen and Ling Jian Tou's eyes were instantly directed at the Mad Beggar Boy due to the facial makeup worn by the bamboo stick young man. It was just that it seemed, it did not attract Ling Qing Zhu's attention at all.


Compared to that Crazy-Xiao Beggar Boy Shuxiang it was the first to get an eye view of that beautiful, long white-haired beauty who had decomposed beautifully.


"......."


Ling Qing Zhu remained calm and unhurried. His eyes were clear and as bright as the blue sky. He has a face like snow white covered with frost. 


White clothes with blue wisteria look choppy and make it more charming. The beauty of the face covered by a veil of thin cloth was not even able to be described.


Xiao Shuxiang and the Crazy Beggar Boy had even subconsciously turned their faces away from taking it no longer.


The Mad Beggar Boy half whispered, "He really is your White Cat, right?"


Crazy Beggar Boy, "The more deadly his beauty days. You should ask her to wear a thicker veil from now on. Your position as the 'Protective Guardian' to him is still very dangerous, you know? Someday, her beauty could get you killed."


"Calm down, Crazy Beggar Boy. I'm her husband, why are you the more excited?"


"......." Ling Dong Hun shook his head slowly as he watched the two people who were beside him.


The Mad Beggar Boy and Xiao Shuxiang were completely compatible in some certain respects. Especially when it comes to his beloved nephew.


"Xiao'Eru? When are you coming home?" Ling Chu Zhen asked when he had been before Xiao Shuxiang. That instant also the whispers of his daughter-in-law stopped.


"I... Just arrived and momentarily greeted a few junior disciples as well as Uncle Dong Hun," Xiao Shuxiang smiled awkwardly. He was indeed somewhat troubled to face a human like this 'Ling' clan.


"Mrs... It is fitting that I see some disciples hiding in fear..." Ling Chu Zhen rubbed his chin slowly, "... Apparently they're still afraid of you,"


"A ha ha... Father-in-law could have." Xiao Shuxiang laughed awkwardly and slapped the Mad Beggar Boy on the shoulder to make the man scream suddenly.


!!


"Xiao Shuxiang!" The Mad Beggar Boy would only exclaim when his mouth was smothered by this Alchemist Chef. Xiao Shuxiang was indeed very brash and did not respect him as a 'Senior'. His life could be said to be increasingly colorful since befriending this young man.


"I'm happy to see Father-in-law so healthy and looking okay..." Xiao Shuxiang said and then knocked the head of the Mad Beggar Boy with his flute, "This guy is so disrespectful. I had just come and she had already made trouble with this scary makeup of hers. He's already making Dad a fuss,"


Ling Jian Tou snorted, "You're just as troublesome."


Ling Qing Zhu, "......."


Xiao Shuxiang smiled awkwardly, "Aah... Sister-in-law"


"Shuxiang," the Mad Beggar boy was instantly mocked when free from his mouth from the hands, "You always call 'Silver'. Aren't you ashamed of how old you are?"


"You want this flute stuck in your throat?" xiao Shuxiang's voice was cold.


"No. Thank ye. I don't talk anymore, I don't talk.." The Mad Beggar Boy's guts shrieked as Xiao Shuxiang began to threaten in a serious tone. This young man would definitely really do it if he recklessly let out another word.


Facts had proven that Xiao Shuxiang's cold voice could quickly turn pleasant in just a single breath. Just look at the way he spoke while dealing with Ling Chu Zhen. He appeared to be respecting the Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect as well as the father of his White Cat.


Ling Dong Hun lowered his head slowly saluting, "Chairman. I apologize for not attending the meeting."


Ling Chu Zhen did not mind that, after all, the presence of Xiao Shuxiang alone was already proof that corroborated the reason Ling Dong Hun was unable to attend.


The Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect then looked at his son-in-law, "You must be tired from your work in the Northern Continent. Rest for a moment, we'll talk again later." Ling Chu Zhen's voice softly, "... Qing Zhu'Er, take Xiao'Er to her room and have the waiter bring food."


Ling Qing Zhu nodded in response. He saluted and then looked at Xiao Shuxiang briefly before walking away. This closeness between himself and his Guardian had never changed even after their current status.


"......."


The Crazy Beggar Boy noticed Xiao Shuxiang following Ling Qing Zhu from behind.


He nodded slowly before finally exhaling. "Do you realize that their relationship doesn't seem to be growing? Let alone calling each other 'husband-wife', even they do not greet each other. Do you think this is a good thing?"


Ling Jian Tou, "Such things can only be solved by the two of them alone. Outsiders can only give advice, not have the right to interfere too deeply."


Ling Chu Zhen exhaled and then nodded slowly, "Qing Zhu'Er is a quiet girl. So it was Xiao'Er who needed to take the initiative first,"
