XIAO SHUXIANG'S

205 - Disruption II

Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his left arm softly, he felt uneasy wearing the clean white uniform of the Sky Sword Sect with a blue waist belt, feeling as if this was a mourning outfit.

However, Xiao Shuxiang had to obey Patriarch Lan's words if he wanted to be taught to use his Heavenly Heirloom. As much as possible he tried to survive being a good boy for a few days.

His position was currently in the Main Hall, sitting in the front row and facing directly with Lan Gaozu. Xiao Shuxiang could not move freely to comfort his saturation from hearing the Thick Bearded Grandfather's hospitality.

One that became his own entertainment, namely seeing his friend Moon Tiger. The kitten-sized Demonic Beast seemed to be sitting quietly while listening to Lan Gaozu speak.

"Lan Xiao was really well taught, I just sat for a few minutes and felt my legs and buttocks numb. When did this lesson stop.."

Lan Gaozu noticed Xiao Shuxiang, the young man refrained from yawning. He was actually quite jolted when he saw the presence of Xiao Shuxiang among his students, for a long time he had indeed not seen the brat.

It was a bit of a surprise, as this was the first time Xiao Shuxiang had sat at the very front. Usually the young man will look for a hidden seat in order to sleep.

Sian Ru who was sitting behind Xiao Shuxiang looked sour-faced, she did not like to see him return to the Sky Sword Sect even though Xiao Shuxiang had arguably helped her sect from the attack of the Sky Pagoda Sect.

But what annoyed him even more was the presence of Ling Qing Zhu, the girl had stolen the attention of all her fellow brothers.

".. It used to be Xiao Shuxiang, now Ling Qing Zhu. Both of them were extremely annoying, moreover they were both close to Young Master Lan, further irritating her.."

Sian Ru firmly gripped her uniform, she had completely forgotten to be the prettiest and popular girl in the sect, all attention was directed towards Lan Guan Zhi, Xiao Shuxiang and Ling Qing Zhu, respectively, his name is now in fourth place.

The lesson from Lan Gaozu only stopped after the sun had almost set. Xiao Shuxiang had difficulty standing, his legs and buttocks were completely achy.

"I can die if I sit and hear Grandpa's Thick Beard's heart every day. But for the sake of being able to play that flute, I will sacrifice some of my life.."

Xiao Shuxiang lashed out softly on his spine, he walked following the disciples who had started to leave the Main Hall.

Following Lan Guan Zhi to the Nine Level Pagoda, the Moon Tiger was among them.

Ling Qing Zhu himself, after coming out of the Main Hall, went to the Disciple Hall to start doing his job of washing clothes.

He did not say anything to Lan Guan Zhi, this was not a strange thing, because despite always being together with the future GrandElder of the Sky Sword Sect.. Both rarely speak.

In the ninth level Pagoda, right in one of the rooms on the third floor.. Xiao Shuxiang again had to sit down while listening to Patriarch Lan's explanation of how to play an instrument, especially a flute.

Xiao Shuxiang was more interested in this discussion than hearing Lan Gaozu lecture. He took out his White Jade Flute when requested by Patriarch Lan.

Xiao Shuxiang was able to understand the basics of tone after Lan Xu Jian explained to him three times. But while practicing it by following the direction of Patriarch Lan.. His White Jade Flute made no sound at all.

"I guess.. It's broken,"

"White Jade Flute cannot be carelessly played. It's perfectly normal for you to have trouble making a sound on that instrument when you blow it,"

Patriarch Lan asked if Xiao Shuxiang had an ordinary flute, this was to make it easier for him to practice. Unfortunately, the young man sitting in front of him did not have it.

"LanLan, lend him your flute.."

!

Xiao Shuxiang gasped at the way Patriarch Lan called out his sister's name, he immediately covered his mouth with one hand while holding back a laugh, Lan Xu Jian's call to his sister was adorable. Clearly Patriarch Lan was more severe in ruining his sister's name.

Lan Guan Zhi who was sitting next to Xiao Shuxiang took out a yellow bamboo flute from inside his storage bag, he snapped his friend's head with the flute.

Xiao Shuxiang groaned slightly, yet he was not angry at Lan Guan Zhi's actions. He then went back to practicing blowing flutes following Patriarch Lan's direction. Of course by using his friend's yellow bamboo flute.

Xiao Shuxiang was apparently quite good at recalling the tone, Patriarch Lan gave him a paper inscribed with one simple song.

".. The name is 'Funness', if you can play it, then you will be able to make the heart of the person who hears it quiet, even under certain circumstances.. You can appease the spirits of the dead.."

Predictably, this song is a song. Xiao Shuxiang only needed to practice until he could play it.

Throughout the night, he kept getting directions from Patriarch Lan. He was actually curious about one thing, namely Lan Guan Zhi who turned out to know how to play a musical instrument.

If Xiao Shuxiang knew of his best friend's other talent, he would definitely not ask Patriarch Lan for help. It was his own fault for not asking Lan Guan Zhi early.

Xiao Shuxiang stayed quite a long time in the Sky Sword Sect. His activity other than practicing blowing flutes was to disturb Ling Qing Zhu.

Just like this morning, where he had broken the clothes of the Heaven Sword Sect disciple Ling Qing Zhu was drying.

"Are you not ashamed to stay here? You no longer have any family in this Continent, why don't you just die?"

Xiao Shuxiang gave a dislike look to Ling Qing Zhu. His words were so sharp and cold.

".. You're just a hostage, for the rest of your life you'll work as a servant in this sect. Why not free yourself by dying? Uh! I mean die like your Uncle.."

!!

Ling Qing Zhu tried to calm down by tightly clenching both of his hands. He convinced himself not to be affected by the words of the young man in front of him even though it was painful.

Luckily Lan Guan Zhi immediately came and pulled Xiao Shuxiang's hand. He really couldn't leave his friend a minute's worth of stuff, this young man was already bothering others again.

"Lan Zhi..?! I'm not done yet, that shitty girl must be aware of her position just hitchhiking here,"

"You're the same, too,"

Xiao Shuxiang did not rebel when Lan Guan Zhi pulled, himself pointing at Ling Qing Zhu with his bamboo flute as if to signal that their business was not finished.

Ling Qing Zhu remained standing in place as he looked at Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi who were slowly starting to become invisible again.

He exhaled softly and then stared at the uniform of the Sky Sword Sect disciples who were so dirty from Xiao Shuxiang's actions.

What the young man said was true. He should not have stayed in the sect he had attacked, staying with people he had hurt.

This sect was too good for a villain who should have died like him. She was indeed the worst girl, even when hearing Xiao Shuxiang's words earlier did not make her cry.

He could only hold everything by himself. Ling Qing Zhu was a girl who was lousy in expressing her feelings.

Again Xiao Shuxiang came to disturb him. The young man took the opportunity to leave when Lan Guan Zhi was summoned by the GrandElder of the Sky Sword Sect.

Duan De could see the way Ling Qing Zhu was sweeping was not as usual, obviously the girl was being depressed. And the cause was the word that Xiao Shuxiang had thrown out.

"Naughty Boy..! Can't you just go and continue your training?! You came here to be a bully, too,"

Xiao Shuxiang said that it was not him that Duan De should have been kicked out of, but that Ugly, Sucks Girl.

".. You guys are too naive, why let the person who has already attacked this sect live with a full limb like him? I'm sure, if left unchecked, he'll do bad things again,"

Duan De walked towards Xiao Shuxiang and sat down near the young man. While playing the broom in his hand, Duan De snorted.

Ling Qing Zhu had only committed one crime and he had already received the proper punishment, namely the death of his uncle as well as the disappearance of the Sky Pagoda Sect in this Continent.

".. Compared to someone I know, Miss Ling deserves forgiveness."

Duan De's words had definitely led to Xiao Shuxiang. His crimes were far greater and more numerous than Ling Qing Zhu, but even though his friends knew his identity, he was still forgiven.

"Miss Ling is not ugly, you should have cleaned your eyes first. Take a good look at her, watch Miss Ling carefully..!"

"Hmph, she's just a little pretty. Not comparable to my mother,"

Xiao Shuxiang obviously did not want to pay attention to Ling Qing Zhu more thoroughly. There was no reason for him to get along with the person who almost made him lose friends.

"Hey, you! A little pretty girl. Answer my question, what is your reason for attacking this sect and what is the name of the Scarlet Shadow elder? If you don't answer it, then be prepared to die this very second."

Duan De slapped Xiao Shuxiang's arm, he scolded the young man for his disrespectful manner of speech at all.

".. You can guard a lifetime if your attitude continues like this with women,"

"Hmph, no problem. I can go to the brothel to take my virginity off if I want to,"

!!

Duan De was shocked to hear the speech of this almost 19-year-old youth. Even Grandma Nian who was walking with chicken soup almost dropped the food in her hand from hearing Xiao Shuxiang's words just now.

His hearing was still very clear, he placed the chicken soup beside Xiao Shuxiang and went along to nag him.

Nian's grandmother said that Xiao Shuxiang should not have the thought of going to that dirty place. There would be no face and respectful treatment for cultivators who were known to be customers in such a cursed place.

".. Black Flow Cultivators were also mostly unwilling to set foot in that place, and you were even willing to go there?!"

"Old Granny, that place isn't dirty. Her beauty and cleanliness are always awake. My adoptive uncle has always kept his residence very well,"

Xiao Shuxiang took one of the chicken thighs and ate it, his last words were not understood by Grandma Nian and made Duan De momentarily think.

What does Uncle Xiao Shuxiang have to do with this matter they discussed? unless the young man's adoptive uncle sitting next to him has business in such a forbidden place.

".. If what I think is right, you better not play often to your foster uncle's place. Everyone has a different view, and most look bad at the place

Hm? You Naughty Child! That chicken soup is for Miss Ling, why did you even eat it?!"

Duan De smacked Xiao Shuxiang's arm and pinched the hard of his waist, the food Nian Granny had brought was reserved for Ling Qing Zhu for having worked hard all day.

Because of the seal Lan Guan Zhi had given her, the girl was no longer a cultivator. He was just an ordinary human who filled the energy of his body by eating and sleeping, unlike cultivators who could resist hunger or not sleeping for several days.

"The food will be near me, so I think it's for me. After all, why bother cooking him food, let him eat leaves or grass, you're just wasting your energy!"

Xiao Shuxiang got a hard press from Grandma Nian. Ling Qing Zhu had always done his job well, he never complained.

It was not only Xiao Shuxiang who liked to prank on him and tell him to die, but some disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect also often did so. They were Sian Ru and her four friends.

Had fought one on one without Qi, Ling Qing Zhu would have been able to survive. But it would be very different if he had to fight five people at once, not to mention he would instantly lose if the opponent used Qi.

Only Lan Guan Zhi and the Moon Tiger would be willing to defend and protect him. But in any case, he could not continue to depend on them. And now there is an increasing number of people who blatantly hate themselves.

Sian Ru and her four friends certainly did not dare to disturb Ling Qing Zhu in front of so many people let alone in front of Young Master Lan. Yet Xiao Shuxiang was clearly different, he did not care about himself being taken several times by Lan Guan Zhi to the Punishment Hall for harassing Ling Qing Zhu.

Nian's grandmother knew how hard Ling Qing Zhu's day had been, but she had never seen the girl cry.

Not because the white-haired and blue-eyed girl was resilient, but according to Grandma Nian.. He just didn't want to show his weakness to others.

".. Compared to everyone, you are the most heartless young man..!"

"Indeed. Grandma's slow to find out.."

Xiao Shuxiang picked up one more chicken thigh and immediately left, he walked near Ling Qing Zhu who was piling up trash.

Using his Wind Breathing, just a single slow step and all the trash that had been painstakingly swept away was now spreading back. Xiao Shuxiang's actions clearly made Duan De, Grandma Nian, including Ling Qing Zhu surprised.

"Cursed You Naughty Child..!"

Duan De threw his broom, unfortunately not hitting Xiao Shuxiang at all, the young man darted away after using his Wind Breathing.

Nian's grandmother also exclaimed, threatening not to make chicken soup for Xiao Shuxiang if the young man did not return immediately and took responsibility for his actions.

"Haah, you Fucking Boy! This way I have to go back to sweeping again, he's very ungodly to this Old Grandpa.." Duan De took back the broom he threw earlier, he looked at Ling Qing Zhu who was still silently staring at the direction Xiao Shuxiang was going.

"Miss Ling, go and rest. Let Grandpa take care of all this, you've done a lot of work without resting at all,"

"... What's.. Can I be upset with him?"

Ling Qing Zhu's voice was slow, yet Duan De could still hear him. He said Ling Qing Zhu could even scold and beat Xiao Shuxiang if he wanted to, he would gladly help her.
