Yesterday's incident was like a nightmare for the teachers as well as the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect. It was fortunate that the Grand Elder did not intervene.
The pain on the lash given by the three new Patriarchs would disappear after five days. It was just that his lash marks would never disappear despite using Qi.
Unlike the others, Xiao Shuxiang was able to relieve the pain along with the marks.
One of the pills he made was able to heal the outer and inner wounds on the body with just three breaths. This was even one of the strongest pills Xiao Shuxiang had ever made.
Even though one was already very dying, as long as it still had one breath left, then he could return to health while consuming his homemade pill.
Xiao Shuxiang called it the Dragon Breath Pill. He had accidentally made this pill from five recipes combined into one.
Unfortunately to make one Dragon Breath Pill requires a very old age herbal plant. The older the age of the herbal plant, then this pill will be stronger and purer.
The presence of the First Patriarch and the Third Patriarch here was to meet Xiao Shuxiang.
The First Patriarch intended to make Xiao Shuxiang his disciple. While the Third Patriarch wanted Xiao Shuxiang to go home because he had long since left the Mother Mountain.
The two fought over Xiao Shuxiang in Patriarch Lan's private room.
Xiao Shuxiang's. "Wait a minute, the one who decides is me.. Nope-"
Zhou Yan, "You have no rights."
Yu Changhai, "Just be quiet."
!!
Xiao Shuxiang immediately stopped talking when Zhou Yan and Yu Changhai snapped at him. He massaged his forehead, "Aiya. I hope someone saved me from these two Patriarchs."
Yu Changhai's. "Senior, he's just about to accept punishment from you. When the sentence is over, I will take Xiao'Er with me."
Zhou Yan, "You are older than me, don't call me 'Senior'. This boy did serve my sentence, but after his sentence was over... He still has to pay for my herbs."
"Senior, you're too much! Xiao'Er should come with me. Debt to you... Let me pay it off.."
"I refuse."
Patriarch Lan only let out a slow breath, he has not been able to enter into the debate of the two Patriarchs before him.
Patriarch Lan looked at Xiao Shuxiang who appeared to be twirling the brush in front of him, he then whispered to Xiao Shuxiang, "What have you done to the two of them?"
Xiao Shuxiang also whispered. "Patriarch, I don't know either. I don't know what good I've done until they're like this.."
Long enough they were in the same room. The Second Patriarch managed to stop the quarrel of Yu Changhai and Zhou Yan. He then asked Xiao Shuxiang to give his decision.
"I don't want to follow you two. Xiao Shuxiang would stay wherever he wanted. That's if your residence is still open to me."
Yu Changhai's. "Xiao'Er, are you serious about what you say? You don't want to consider it anymore?"
Xiao Shuxiang, "I have no intention of making anyone my teacher. I'm not used to being in a teacher-student relationship..."
Yu Changhai, "Haaah.. Well, if that's your final decision. But you should know, my offer still stands,"
"Thank you, Patriarch." Xiao Shuxiang smiled, he then said goodbye when there was nothing more to discuss.
Xiao Shuxiang and the Third Patriarch returned to the Mother Mountain. The wild grass in the courtyard and the Patriarch plant were completely unkempt when Xiao Shuxiang left.
He immediately did his job and only stopped at night.
There was something that made Xiao Shuxiang startled as he was about to pluck the grass in the front yard of the Third Patriarch.
Some grasses look unnaturally colored. When looking at it more carefully, it turns out these grasses are more than a thousand years old.
"How can...?"

Lan Guan Zhi who was training the Moon Tiger regarding the sect rules set his sights on hearing Xiao Shuxiang's exclamation from the direction of the ledge.
"Lan Guan Zhi, quickly help me..!" Xiao Shuxiang reached for his hand, "Help me lift up my luggage..!"
Xiao Shuxiang was finally able to ascend after being assisted by Lan Guan Zhi. He sighed, "I seem to need a Spatial Ring.."
Nyan!
The Moon Tiger leapt into Xiao Shuxiang's arms, he felt happy to see her again.
"You're getting bigger, Lan Xiao. Look, what I brought for you..."
Xiao Shuxiang sat down together with Lan Guan Zhi while feeding the Moon Tiger with a thousand year old herbal plant.
The thick black liquid he once threw away apparently could make the plant grow fast. Xiao Shuxiang was able to obtain a thousand year old plant with just three days. His creation will not be told to anyone.
Xiao Shuxiang also brought his homemade wine and invited Lan Guan Zhi to have a drink together.
He seemed to have forgotten the age of Lan Guan Zhi who was not old enough, let alone wine was something that was forbidden in the Sky Sword Sect.
Lan Guan Zhi only knew his name, he had never seen what the form of arak actually looked like. Hence, when offered by Xiao Shuxiang, he started drinking it.
?!
Xiao Shuxiang flinched as Lan Guan Zhi's cup instantly fell down. He then looked at Lan Guan Zhi and asked what had happened to him.
Lan Guan Zhi was just silent, his eyes were blank and he immediately glanced at Xiao Shuxiang sharply.
"You're why Lan-!!"
Xiao Shuxiang jumped backwards when suddenly Lan Guan Zhi attacked him.
Slaaash!!
Xiao Shuxiang darted out, he was still confused by Lan Guan Zhi for attacking him so suddenly. He drew his sword and repelled Lan Guan Zhi's attack.
The fight of the two lasted all night, Xiao Shuxiang repeatedly called Lan Guan Zhi and asked him to stop, but still the boy did not listen to him.
A TRAAANG!
"Lan Zhi, Ruckus Is Banned In This Sect, Isn't it? Why are you even-!!"
Not yet Xiao Shuxiang continued his words, Lan Guan Zhi again attacked him.
"Lan Guan Zhi, you're a freak. What's wrong with you? He-Hey..?!" Xiao Shuxiang caught up with Lan Guan Zhi who suddenly left just like that.
"That's weird..."
Lan Guan Zhi returned to his room, he immediately slept quietly like nothing had happened. Seeing this incident made Xiao Shuxiang dumbfounded.
!!
"Don't tell me, Lan Zhi has a bad habit of Senior Li Fu Chen..!!" Xiao Shuxiang's face was slightly pale, he remembered in his first life...
He had once taken Li Fu Chen to drink wine and just one gulp, the senior fell asleep immediately. It was just that in the count of five, his senior suddenly woke up and directly attacked whoever he saw.
"Haaahs... Their tolerance for al-Ashitaha! Lan Guan Zhi is still a boy, why did I take him out for a drink?!"
Xiao Shuxiang patted his eel, only to realize that Lan Guan Zhi was not old enough to drink wine.
"Whou, my head hurts. Fortunately, Patriarch Lan was not here. If he finds out I'm taking his sister for a drink, then.."
Xiao Shuxiang immediately shook his head, he did not want to imagine the possibility that could happen to him.
While waiting for Lan Guan Zhi to wake up, Xiao Shuxiang drank wine accompanied by a Moon Tiger that looked voraciously eating his herbs.
"Lan Xiao, you need to get big fast and be my mount. Understood?"
Nyawm!

Xiao Shuxiang and his friends started to say goodbye, they had plans to make a decent place first before taking Yang Shu along.
Yang Shu actually wanted to keep an eye on his students, but these nine children indeed had to live independently. He just told them to take care of each other.
"Patriarch, we leave Master here. Me and my brothers will pick her up as soon as possible..!" Jing Mi saluted Patriarch Lan, she and her friends began to climb the flying sword to get to the foot of the Mother Mountain.
The flying swords did not belong to Jing Mi and the others, they only allowed Lan Gaozu to borrow them for three days, after which it had to be returned.
What Yi Wen said was true, he and his friends did not obtain the Inheritance Sword, let alone wield its successor.
Compared to releasing the name of the Butterfly Sect, it was better for them to lose the right to inherit the eight heirloom swords of the Sky Sword Sect.
When arriving at the destination, the forest at the foot of Mount Induk is more dense. There were three weathered buildings, and soon Xiao Shuxiang and his friends began to clean up the place.
Jing Mi and Xiao Shuxiang were in charge of cutting down trees and making them wooden blocks, while Bao Yu and Hai Feng demolished the existing buildings.
Their other friends were tasked with mowing the lawn and making territorial markers.
Unfortunately, while doing it-suddenly they were startled by the presence of large rats emerging from the ground.
!!
Yi Wen and Ro Wei shouted, they called out to their friends to help. The size of this rat was so large, its fur was silver with fiery red eyes.
He looked furious, it seemed like the place where Xiao Shuxiang and his friends wanted to establish a sect was the domain of the rat.
"In-He's a huge Demonic Beast..! Sa-Very Big!!" Yi Wen held his breath, he was unable to fight a monster of this size.
"It's 2,000 years old. Fight him, it's a good opportunity to test your skills.."
"Brother Xiao, you don't joke.."
Xiao Shuxiang was eating Bao Yu, his face was not joking. He gave the order for his friends to attack the Demonic Beast, his voice so resolute.
Zhi Shu and Feng Ying nodded, the two of them darting first to attack the Demonic Beast in the shape of a mouse.
Seeing his two brothers, Hai Feng and the others also attacked and helped Zhi Shu as well as Feng Ying.
Xiao Shuxiang only noticed the movements of his friends and did not join the fight helping them. He wanted to ascertain whether these eight children could be trusted.
"Shouxing asked me to live my life well, building relationships like a family. I want to see what their 'family' relationship is like.."
A BAAAM!!
"Hi Feng?! You all right?!" Jing Mi endured the pain on her back from hitting the tree, she became a shield as Hai Feng was thrown from being attacked by a rat monster.
Bao Yu and Yi Wen looked extremely angry, they took out all of their abilities to defeat this Demonic Beast.
The silver-haired rat, despite having a large body, in fact he moves so nimble. The attack of the eight children did not work on him at all, he then made a squealing sound to call his followers.
!!
Jing Mi and her friends were shocked when they saw many small rats coming out from the ground as well as bushes all around them.
"Make Formation!!"
Jing Mi exclaimed, all her friends started jumping up and standing nearby.
They formed a formation where Jing Mi and Bao Yu were in front as well as serving as the main attackers, Zhi Shu and Ro Wei as supporting attackers.
Hai Feng and Hou Yong protected his friends from behind, while Feng Ying and Yi Wen had the task of protecting his friend from attacks at blind spots.
The number of rats that are so much makes anyone goosebumps amused, but not for these eight children.
Simultaneously, they enveloped his sword with Qi and immediately darted, giving attack to the little rat as well as the rat monster.
Merely, no matter how hard their efforts were, the rat monsters remained invincible.
When his friends were already overwhelmed, only Xiao Shuxiang helped them. While fighting against the little mice and rat monsters, Xiao Shuxiang explained the flaws of the artificial formation Jing Mi and the others.
"You Must See, And Watch!"
CRAASH!
Even without even flowing Qi on his sword, Xiao Shuxiang was able to slash through many rats as well as give incisions to rat monsters.
The silver-haired rat seemed to have some sense, he gave orders to the little mice to attack Jing Mi and her friends.
Realizing this, Xiao Shuxiang sheathed his sword and requested that Jing Mi and the others close their eyes.
".. Don't open your eyes until I let you."
Although confused by his brother's words, Yi Wen, Jing Mi, and the others simply complied. They close their eyes tightly and attach their hearing well.
