Jing Mi and her brothers looked at Xiao Shuxiang who was standing in front of her. The place they gathered now was behind the Grand Elder's building.
"We go straight, what mission have you guys fulfilled?"
Ro Wei looked at Zhi Shu, she slightly nudged him to ask Zhi Shu to make a sound.
Zhi Shu is nervous. But still said, "A-Brother Xiao, we just brought two lanterns. The other two are kept by Brother Wei,"
Xiao Shuxiang nodded, he then asked Hou Yong. "What about you?"
Hou Yong's. "Brother Xiao, there are only three things left that we have not found. Two objects are in the Black Flow region, and the other is... It's not in its place."
Hou Yong again said, "Me and Brother Bao cannot go to the Black Stream place because it is too dangerous. The land and air in the region are very poisonous, we will only die if we are still desperate to get there."
"alright. Next you, Brother Jing. Did you manage to carry out the mission I gave you?"
Yi Wen took out a single piece of Phoenix Lantern that had a green-colored light. He handed it to Xiao Shuxiang.
"I heard, you guys got the twin Phoenix Lanterns. Where's the lantern?" Xiao Shuxiang distorted the lantern that Yi Wen gave into his Spatial Ring.
Jing Mi, "We did get it, but the Blood Skull Sect cultivator attacked us and held Yi Wen hostage. I have to save her."
Xiao Shuxiang clenched his hands together, he then walked towards Jing Mi and quickly gave her a fist until Jing Mi bounced five meters away.
!!
"Brother Jing!!" Hou Yong, Yi Wen and the others were shocked.
They had not had time to ask Xiao Shuxiang why he had done this, but suddenly Xiao Shuxiang gave the same blow to all of them.
Jing Mi and her friends coughed, the force of Xiao Shuxiang's punch was not playful. They could even feel a bone being broken.
The voice as Xiao Shuxiang gave his fist to his friends was heard by the disciples of the Butterfly Sect. They immediately rushed to see what was happening.
The child that Xiao Shuxiang had helped earlier had already given the pill to his friends, no matter which friend he was always tormenting him.
With just three breaths, their wounds healed quickly. Even the female hand that Xiao Shuxiang broke back as usual.
"This is a magical pill...!" The child immediately stored the pill bag Xiao Shuxiang gave him behind his uniform. He immediately ran after his friends.
Xiao Shuxiang, "You... Dare to save Yi Wen and break my orders?!"
A BAAAM!
BRAAK!
Jing Mi's body hit the trees, making her fall with a loud noise.
"Are you going to violate the mission I gave just to save your comrades' lives?!" Xiao Shuxiang disappeared and instantly appeared in front of Hou Yong, then dealt the same blow to him.
He also attacked Hai Feng and the others, they all got punches from Xiao Shuxiang without being able to fend off or fight back.
"Is this your 'Fraternity' relationship?! Did I teach you guys to be Cowards?!"
A BAAAM!!
"Come Say?! If Yi Wen becomes a prisoner of the enemy, would you rather abandon the mission to save him?! Is that the sense of brotherhood that you have held so far?! Answer?!"
Xiao Shuxiang clenched his hands together, there was a crackling sound as he did so. In the next instant, he gave a punch to his companions again to make them bounce while coughing blood.
!!
The new disciples who witnessed Xiao Shuxiang's actions were so greatly shocked.
They wondered about the boy. Who exactly is he...? Why did the people he beat up not fight back at all..?! They were much older than that boy.
Among them were also men who were muscular and looked strong, but why would they be willing to be beaten just like that?! The boy with those sharp eyes... Who..?!
"Ukh! Ohok hok!" Jing Mi felt her ribs hurt, it seemed like something was cracking again.
"Sa-Brother Xiao..."
"Your Heart is Weak!! Your Decision Making is Bad..!"
A BAAAM!
"All you have to do when Yi Wen becomes a prisoner is kill him! Then kill the one who has taken him prisoner and fulfill your duty!! Then, tear your stomach and die..! That's how you should do if you consider Yi Wen as 'Brother'!!"
!!
Jing Mi, Yi Wen, Zhi Shu, Hai Feng, Ro Wei and Hou Yong were shocked. They were lying on the ground, unable to move due to being hit several times by Xiao Shuxiang.
Only their gazes continued to point at the 14-year-old boy. A look of disbelief at once contained admiration.
"Only once have I forgiven you!! Next, there will be no more apologies from Xiao Shuxiang..!!"
Xiao Shuxiang turned around and started to step up, intending to leave his companions behind. But not three steps, he stopped and turned back.
Xiao Shuxiang's gaze then led to the disciples witnessing his actions.
They were all jolted and goosebumps in fear, worried that Xiao Shuxiang would make their situation like Jing Mi, Hou Yong and his brothers.
"All of you! What happened to these seven of your seniors, make it a lesson! If you don't like my actions, then be strong and try to kill Xiao Shuxiang!!"
!!
When Xiao Shuxiang started walking away, the older disciples of the Butterfly Sect started running and helping their seven seniors.
One of the disciples gave Jing Mi and the others a pill. She almost cried watching her senior's terrible state.
"The Kid's Sa-Very Wicked.!"
Jing Mi gently rubbed the head of the boy who gave her the pill. He smiled faintly and said that Xiao Shuxiang was not the bad person that this child had expected.
"Brother Xiao is very kind, you should respect him because he is also your senior."
"Well from where..? She did help me some time ago, but now I'm afraid I've been helped by her."
Jing Mi and her brothers were taken to one of the buildings to rest.
They were treated so kindly, Jing Mi occasionally joked and seemed to forget what happened to her.
It's just, deep in his heart-he's feeling uneasy. Not only him, but Hou Yong and his other brothers felt that way too.
They should celebrate the reunion with a happy feeling. Because they had been separated for so long, especially now that Xiao Shuxiang had woken up from his long slumber.
Now it's..
Even looking at Xiao Shuxiang's usual smile they couldn't find.
Jing Mi waited for her juniors to leave, she then had a meeting together with Hou Yong Zhi Shu, and the others. They discussed how to keep Xiao Shuxiang from getting angry anymore.
Jing Mi exhaled, "You know. I feel like what Brother Xiao said earlier is true. No matter how strong we are, the greatest weakness is still a 'Relationship'. For example, our brotherhood."
!!
Hou Yong, "Brother Jing, don't tell me you want-"
"Of course not. All we have to do is get stronger, until this thing doesn't happen again."
Zhi Shu and Hai Feng nodded. They are adults now, the obstacles will be more difficult and new, stronger enemies they will definitely face.
Xiao Shuxiang was now inside the building where he used to cook and make pills.
He was seen sitting around playing around with his three little blue flames. A knock on the door made him look.
"Who..?"
"It's Grandpa,"
Xiao Shuxiang walked over and opened the door for Yang Shu, he then invited her in and let her sit down.
"Grandfather was happy to see you wake up again. You made Grandpa worried," Yang Shu told him how anxious he was when he heard his granddaughter fall asleep. "I asked the Third Patriarch for help to wake you up, it's just that Ping Gou forbade."
"I'm sorry for making such a fuss," Xiao Shuxiang was like thinking of something else, he was unwilling to bring up the matter of his hibernation to Yang Shu.
"During this time Grandpa noticed... You asked your brothers to look for the Phoenix Lantern, what do you want to make with the Lantern?" Yang Shu said, "The Phoenix Lantern has lately been targeted by Black Flow cultivators. Several times there was a battle just because of that lantern."
"Actually..." Xiao Shuxiang just wanted to say it, but he suddenly heard a voice calling out his name.
"Brother Xiao? Its me... Feng Ying."
"Come in," Xiao Shuxiang told Feng Ying to come in. It turned out that his brother did not come alone, but rather together with Jing Mi and her other friends.
"What do you want?"
!
Zhi Shu and Yi Wen were so nervous. They then pushed Feng Ying a little, as it was only his brother who was not beaten up by Xiao Shuxiang.
"Brother Xiao, I... I brought them here to apologize to you. Asking once... Are you still angry?"
"Hm, I've never been angry with you guys. Come and sit down..!"
"Sa-Brother Xiao, are you sure you're not angry?!" Yi Wen wanted to reassure what he had heard just now.
Xiao Shuxiang nodded, "I am indeed annoyed at Brother Jing who gave the Phoenix lantern without thinking about the risks that could occur. Could be ... There is a chance that the Blood Skull Sect cultivators will not let go of you and Brother Jing. Even if Brother Jing has already given the lantern,"
Xiao Shuxiang exhaled, "The two of you were able to live until now surely because that Black Flow cultivator had other plans. And the most obvious thing is, they're after the Phoenix Lantern that you all managed to collect,"
"I must immediately fuse the lanterns, before they come here and make a mess in this place..!"
