HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
86 - Monsters?

"Why are you waiting outside?" Dao Fang An asked as he arrived at where Zhao Lu Si and the others were.


Zhao Lu Si said softly, "Young master Mo asked us to wait here. He's treating Mr. Xiao,"


Dao Fang An exhaled, he nodded. He had previously gone to the place where Zhang Zifan was and the young man was currently being treated even though the bones in his fingers were difficult to recover.


Dao Fang An knew Mo Huai was the one being warmly talked about, he honestly did not expect that the weak-looking servant was a talented alchemist. Only, his worries still did not disappear.


"What is Xiao Shuxiang's condition?" Dao Fang An asked again.


One of Zhao Lu Si's comrades shook his head slowly and replied, "We don't know yet. Young master Mo hasn't come out since. But .... It seems like Mr. Xiao's injuries are very severe,"


Dao Fang An held his breath for a moment, "I'm sure so .... He's a careless kid, can't measure his own abilities, likes to act at will. Does he think his life is nine?! Clearly his abilities were far different from Zhang Zifan's, but he was still reckless to fight. Haha .... Was it so hard for him to humble himself and be polite to others?"


Dao Fang An felt a pulse in his head. He remembered his initial encounter with Xiao Shuxiang, the young man had a high arrogance and was very disrespectful to him.


Dao Fang An thought that by making Xiao Shuxiang a servant, he could teach the young man a lesson. But not even ten days of living in this place, the young man had already made various troubles.


Dao Fang An tried to calm himself down, he turned to Zhao Lu Si and then said. "You should go back to your classes. Your lesson's still going on, right?"


"Th-that ...."


Zhao Lu Si and his friends looked at each other. They did indeed have a class directly guided by Peak Elder Bai today. But they still wanted to stay to wait for news of Xiao Shuxiang's condition.


"We'll be staying here any minute, just a minute..."


"Yes, we want to know Mr. Xiao's condition. We'll wait for young master Mo to come out and only after that leave,"


Dao Fang An said, "Don't let Elder Jiao Feng wait. You know exactly how it is,"


!!


Zhao Lu Si and his comrades gasped. They put their hands together and bowed respectfully to Dao Fang An before rushing off.


Dao Fang An simply looked at the girls who were slowly getting away. He put one of his hands behind his back while still standing with his eyes fixed on the room in front of him.


Zhao Lu Si and the girls shouldn't be this polite. Moreover, it had been known that Dao Fang An was only one of the butlers of the Cloud Sea Sect. But indeed if it was carefully observed, Zhao Lu Si's attitude earlier looked a bit nervous.


His friends also looked awkward when talking to Dao Fang An, not even a few among them who spoke while bowing their eyes. Either this was just a casual homage to an older person or there was indeed something in Dao Fang An that Zhao Lu Si and the others were disinclined about.

Inside the room where Xiao Shuxiang was, Mo Huai seemed to be in disbelief at what he had heard just now.


Mo Huai, "Young Master Xiao, please repeat what you said?"


"Haaahs... Listen in. Go and treat Zhang Zifan. Anyone knows he must be in pain right now,"


Mo Huai blinked and grabbed Xiao Shuxiang's hand. He said, "You're seriously fine, right? Why .... You want me to help young master Zhang?"


Mo Huai smiled bitterly, "Young Master Xiao? Although I don't know much about you, but I can confirm this one thing. You .... There's no way we're gonna talk like this. Your head seriously didn't hit something?"


"Mo Huai, what are you talking about? Why am I?" Xiao Shuxiang was astonished because this young man gave him a strange look, even though he did not say any harsh words at all.


Mo Huai seriously said, "There are two restrictions that humans cannot do in this world. The first is to never be disobedient to both parents. And the second was to never believe in the kindness that Xiao Shuxiang showed."


!!


Wang Zhao was surprised, while Xiao Shuxiang was flabbergasted upon hearing Mo Huai's words. The young man with the sweet canine teeth surprised them with his words.


"Huh, Mo Huai ...." Xiao Shuxiang blinked, "I am at a loss for words. W-was I really that bad that no matter what form of attention I took was to be trusted? Seriously am I that horrible person?"


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, "Crazy Beggar Boy?! You believe him?! He's a big liar, Mo Huai! Why do you believe more in the nonsense of the hanging ghost-faced creature than this amazingly enchanting Xiao Shuxiang?!"


Xiao Shuxiang snorted in disbelief, he became a bit pouted. "I never even lied at all. Is seriously a face as handsome and innocent as this is very difficult to believe his speech?"


!!


"That's ...." Mo Huai felt bad. He felt guilty for seeing Xiao Shuxiang glum.


Wang Zhao himself had no idea what was really going on. Yet he felt that this Xiao Shuxiang had a bad reputation in the Lower Cultivation Realm. That was even evidenced by Mo Huai's words just now.


Xiao Shuxiang crossed his arms and shook his head slowly, "Alright. Listen, I want you to go and treat Zhang Zifan not because I want to be kind to him. I'm doing this because of you,"


"Me?" Mo Huai was actually surprised. He was shocked at two things, the first was Xiao Shuxiang's remark just now and the second was the fact that the Alchemist Chef could play tricks on his conscience.


Just now Xiao Shuxiang was provoking his guilt for having spoken ill, but within a short time the moody expression of this Alchemist Chef had already disappeared without a trace.


"Monster ...." Mo Huai had a hard time swallowing his saliva as he again said, "He really made perfect use of that fine young man-like face. Mr. Xiao really is a monster .... He's a wicked actor whose cunning is unmatched."


Xiao Shuxiang did not know what Mo Huai thought of him. He actually insinuated the young man who had the sweet canine teeth.


"You really suck, you suck." Xiao Shuxiang clucked, "If you help heal Zhang Zifan, then no doubt everyone will believe in your alchemist talent. Because of helping you, I didn't make it worse. You understand the plan now?"


Mo Huai regained his senses and spontaneously opened his mouth wide, "Ja-Jadi.... You've done so far .... All because of me?!"


"of course. If not, who else?" Xiao Shuxiang smiled and said, "You are already one of the disciples of the Peak Sacred Mountain Elders and occupy that empty seat as an alchemist disciple, right? That means you've been confirmed to go to the Eternal Alliance meeting. You're gonna need a waitress, right? This is your real job."


Wang Zhao gasped, "Master Xiao? Do you want to use Mo Huai to get to that place?!"


"Right, do you think I want to do troublesome things without reward? I'm not that good," Xiao Shuxiang gently wagged his hair with his fingers.


Mo Huai, "Slicic .... He's terrible as a friend."


Wang Zhao again said, "If it's because of that .... You should have asked Mo Huai to confess to that pill? You will be able to instantly become a disciple and go to the Eternal Alliance. You will instantly become an honored guest, not with the identity of 'Servant'."


Mo Huai nodded, "That's right. Young Master Xiao should have acknowledged about the pill. It's gonna be a lot easier than I have to do it,"


Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his front bangs and looked at Mo Huai, "If that were to happen, you would continue to be weak and have no other reliable abilities. You'll continue to be a subordinate forever. Do you want that to happen?"


Mo Huai, "But---"


"After all," Xiao Shuxiang interrupted. "You know full well that I don't need a teacher. I've calculated everything. Besides you being able to learn new things, you can also help me go to the Eternal Alliance."


Xiao Shuxiang continued, "Me and Wang Zhao could have gotten permission from Dao Fang An's grandfather to leave the sect, but we would not have been allowed to take part in that Eternal Alliance meeting. But now that you have you, we have a sure chance. Hows it? I'm amazing, right?"


Mo Huai was stunned. Xiao Shuxiang had actually calculated it. He became increasingly convinced that this Alchemist Chef indeed had many devious thoughts. Even to an insane degree.


Mo Huai felt a thump in him, "When there is an easy path, but he prefers a difficult path. Was he looking for trouble with Yan Tianhen as well on purpose? For this kind of condition?!"


Mo Huai gasped, he shook his head inwardly. "No... It doesn't seem like it. Xiao Shuxiang's .... He .... I think Xiao Shuxiang is playing around with his identity as a servant and a weak figure!!"


Mo Huai until no longer wearing the 'Young Master' emblem when mentioning Xiao Shuxiang's name. He seemed to be very shocked by what happened.


Xiao Shuxiang, "Why are you still here?"


"ah! Be fine." Mo Huai regained his senses and immediately said goodbye. He left Xiao Shuxiang and Wang Zhao as he continued to think of something.


Xiao Shuxiang stretched out his hands to relax his muscles before returning to lie down in style. He was amazed, "I really need to get compliments. What a compliment. Xiao Shuxiang deserves it, because he's amazing."


Wang Zhao blinked a few times. He looked at Xiao Shuxiang full of astonishment, moreover the young man he saw seemed to be smiling for some reason. He felt a bit creepy.
