HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
82 - Concealment (1)

Wang Zhao was so flabbergasted that he did not expect it. He had just heard something shocking.


Wang Zhao said, "Actually I don't know how that Dragon Breath Pi is and its efficacy. But from the name alone it already sounds great, let alone to make the Holy Peak Elders interested in Master Mo. It's just that from what my mind can capture is... The Dragon Breath Pill was not Master Mo's but artificial..."


Wang Zhao's mouth and eyes opened wide as he set his eyes on Xiao Shuxiang.


If what he was thinking was right, then the black-clothed youth and the grass-roots man in this sect was the one who made that Dragon Breath Pill.


Wang Zhao, "Master Xiao? Are you an Alchemist?"


"Mn, right." Xiao Shuxiang replied casually.


Wang Zhao gasped, "If Mister Xiao is an Alchemist, then Mr. Mo ...."


Mo Huai, "I'm not an alchemist. Let alone making pills, boiling herbs alone I never did. They misunderstood. But .... But the worst is me .... I can't admit this to everything. I was too tense facing the Seventh Elder of the Holy Mountain Peak. Not to mention there were young master Mu Fang and the famous talented disciples in the room. I .... It feels so small."


".........." Xiao Shuxiang did not say anything and only looked at Mo Huai.


His attitude made Mo Huai lowered his head and close his hands together. He insisted confidently that Xiao Shuxiang would get angry and snap at him. It could not be denied that this young man had even done even more cruel things to her. This may be the end of his story.


"Young Master Xiao ..." Mo Huai's voice sounded trembling, "I .... Really apologizing. I didn't confess in front of the elders that you were the one who made the pill. I'm scared .... Afraid you'll get mad because I'm taking pills for you to help people who have problems with you. I'm scared .... Afraid that if I expose you in front of the Elders without your consent and you will hate me."


Xiao Shuxiang could feel how nervous Mo Huai was now. He exhaled and said without a tone, "I really don't like you helping people who have problems with me. But that Dragon Breath Pill I gave you is yours. You're free to give it to anyone, it's not my right to forbid you. Anyway ...."


"But .... It shouldn't be like this." Mo Huai said, he was unaware of the faint smile that appeared on Xiao Shuxiang's face as he again said, "The elders are clearly interested in the person who has made the Dragon Breath Pill. They couldn't possibly call out to me if they knew that the one who actually made the pill was Young Master Xiao."


Wang Zhao himself also looked seriously at Mo Huai. He was not aware of the change in Xiao Shuxiang's face that seemed to be hiding something.


The faintest lip line of the dazzling young man did not belong to a good person. Everyone knows it's a smile full of cunning tactics like those of criminals. I don't know what Xiao Shuxiang has in mind right now, but it looks like whatever it is .... Better not hope it will end in peace.


Xiao Shuxiang cleared his throat and quickly expressed himself like a plain young man in general. The fact had proven that he could smile like a big-time criminal and the next second gave a innocent look like a sinless one.


"I'm really sorry..." Mo Huai bowed regretfully, "I have absolutely no intention of taking the opportunity and taking advantage of Young Master Xiao's kindness. I'm really sorry,"


Xiao Shuxiang, "No need to apologize. Wouldn't it be better if you took advantage of this opportunity to learn?"


Mo Huai and Wang Zhao gasped. They stared in disbelief at Xiao Shuxiang.


Mo Huai, "Young Master... Meanin?"


"You just learn. You've never learned from a teacher before, have you? This is your chance." Xiao Shuxiang unhesitatingly said, "You have been living like a loyal servant to Nie Shang. You took care of the Thousand Year Inn without learning any other skills. It's a harsh world, if you never want to turn strong-then someday you'll die horribly."


"Young Master Xiao, you don't scare me.." Mo Huai's facial expression turned pale.


"But that's what's going to happen. The Siu Yixin who trained you once gave up. He told me that you're hard to focus. He said you were much more interested in doing housework than being a fighter. Again, this is Brother Mo's harsh world. You will be oppressed if you continue to be weak like that,"


Mo Huai lowered his gaze, he could not refute Xiao Shuxiang's remark because it was not wrong. But fear still enveloped his heart. She nervously said, "But I'm not the one who should have gotten Shizun..."


Xiao Shuxiang casually replied, "Mo Huai, look at me. Do you think this Xiao Shuxiang needs a 'Shizun'?"


!!


Wang Zhao had never seen anyone confidently say that. In fact, this was the first time he had seen anyone dare to utter such words.


"Mr Xiao ...." Wang Zhao felt a pulse in his heart, "Master Xiao .... Who the hell are you?"


Xiao Shuxiang's words might have sounded ordinary, but not to Wang Zhao. The words contained a very powerful meaning to him. Not to mention that it made him even more certain the moment he heard Xiao Shuxiang say next.


The Guardian Protector of Ling Qing Zhu said with a cold smile, "Only a bored person of life would dare to acknowledge me as his disciple."


Mo Huai, "Young Master Xiao. Don't you have that face. You scared the shit out of me. Did you forget the Three Elders? He's a--"


"Of course not to forget." Xiao Shuxiang interjected, "The Three Elders and the Long Bearded Grandfather have never performed any teacher and disciple rituals with me. So why do I have to do it with someone else?"


Xiao Shuxiang looked at Mo Huai and again said, "You should take this opportunity. I'm not at all suited to being a student, I'm too amazing to be a submissive person."


"But .... What if I'm found out that I've been cheating?" Mo Huai was still afraid, "The Elders would be angry if they knew that the one who made the pill was not me."


Xiao Shuxiang smiled, "They won't know. Wang Zhao will keep his mouth shut and I alone will be the proof that you do have the ability to be an alchemist."


Mo Huai and Wang Zhao gasped, but also felt astonishment.


Wang Zhao said, "I can guarantee I won't say anything. But .... How do you prove Mr. Mo is an alchemist?"


Xiao Shuxiang, "On that .... It seems that accidentally my actions today have invited trouble."


Mo Huai blinked, "A-what?!"


"Tomorrow. You will know too. Now get out there and get back to your work, I'm gonna take a shower." Xiao Shuxiang stood up and pulled his two friends over.


Wang Zhao and Mo Huai gasped as they were suddenly dragged towards the door. They still had faces of shock and confusion, Xiao Shuxiang said a strange thing and honestly made them curious.


Wang Zhao, "Tu-wait a minute...! What do you mean by 'tomorrow'?!"


Mo Huai, "Young Master Xiao...! What kind of trouble have you done? Wh-wait! Tell us first,"


"Already, already. You'll know later. Now go," Xiao Shuxiang closed the door as Mo Huai and Wang Zhao had been outside.


The two young men froze and were speechless. They blinked and tried to persuade Xiao Shuxiang, but there was no answer.


Wang Zhao, ".......... So we're just being kicked out?"


Mo Huai, "..........."


Xiao Shuxiang had indeed inadvertently invited trouble and it was evident by the next day.


As he finished getting ready and had just opened the door of his bamboo hut, Xiao Shuxiang was already greeted with around six male disciples from the Cloud Sea Sect.
