XIAO SHUXIANG'S
206 - Entertainment
There were five sects of the White Stream and three sects of the Black Stream in the Empire of the Rising Sun that the Scarlet Shadow had mastered without being noticed by anyone else.
Only by relying on the two Upper Pillar members sitting on the Sixth seat, the Dream Conqueror Woman and the Third seat, the Aroma Owner.. They had recorded themselves as a group that would change the fate of this continent.
The game of the two members of the Scarlet Shadow was very neat. They worked at night, working together to make the cultivators lulled with the soothing aroma until they involuntarily fell asleep.
No one realized that the scent they used to smell, whether from the morning grass, ink, or spices on the cuisine was the style of this Scarlet Shadow cultivator.
In a long sleep, the Dream Conqueror Woman begins the action. Trapped cultivators can be easily controlled.
When seen in plain sight, these eight sects were still carrying out activities like cultivators in general, but in fact they had all become pawns in the grand plan of the Scarlet Shadow.
Xiao Shuxiang knew the Scarlet Shadow was eyeing him, yet he was not really willing to hunt them down.
Xiao Shuxiang was not a fool who wanted to go to the enemy's place when he knew he himself was the target.
He only needed to prepare himself, practice playing the flute, while enjoying his days of disturbing Ling Qing Zhu in the Sky Sword Sect.
Only one song he played, but it took a lot of effort, this was because Xiao Shuxiang had never held a musical instrument before, let alone played it.
The disciples of the Sky Sword Sect who heard the sound of Xiao Shuxiang's flute looked ugly.
Some of them thought the sound he heard was like a mouse clamped to bamboo, a flying frog bitten by a snake, until the rooster was hoarse.
And with his thick face, Xiao Shuxiang instead gathered the disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect to play his wares.
"Isn't Brother Xiao's song 'Funness', but why isn't his voice at all soothing? His musical talent is below zero,"
"Somewhere Brother Xiao put down************, I mean his embarrassment. He's not very sane.."
There were about 15 disciples of the Sky Sword Sect that Xiao Shuxiang had gathered, they were the first spectators of his inaugural concert playing a flute.
He is very good at finding time. As the disciples rested, Xiao Shuxiang invited them together. Originally these 15 Heavenly Sword Sect disciples thought Xiao Shuxiang's flute game was good, yet it seemed like they all looked regretful about accepting this Young Alchemist's invitation.
?!
"The flute game stopped..!?"
The Heaven Sword Sect disciple exhaled a sigh of relief as Xiao Shuxiang had stopped playing his flute. They were just about to stand up to step away, yet Xiao Shuxiang asked them to sit back down.
"Where are you going? It's not over yet, listen twice. I haven't heard your opinion either, let's sit back.."
!!
"But-but.."
Tian Ri, one of the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect who was unlucky for having to watch Xiao Shuxiang's bad game held back his tears.
Hearing Xiao Shuxiang's flute play make his ears buzz and his stomach ache, he wanted to vomit but did not want to come out.
"We must find a way to be free from Brother Xiao,"
"I don't want to be senile at a young age,"
Xiao Shuxiang was about to blow back his flute when one of the disciples called out Lan Guan Zhi's name. They looked happy, as if the heavens had just sent down their guardian angel.
"Lan Zhi..?"
Xiao Shuxiang saw Lan Guan Zhi walking towards him, followed by the Moon Tiger. His friend asked him what he was doing.
"You better sit down and listen to my amazing game, then rate it, okay? Lan Xiao, you're sitting well, too,"
Nyawn~
Xiao Shuxiang smiled amiably and asked Tian Ri to shift slightly, he touched both of Lan Guan Zhi's shoulders and sat her down next to the girl.
!!
Tian Ri and his companions gasped as Lan Guan Zhi obeyed Xiao Shuxiang just like that. Though these 15 disciples wished for Lan Guan Zhi to release them.
"I'm getting excited,"
Xiao Shuxiang returned to play his flute. Lan Xiao looked delighted, he thought the sound of Xiao Shuxiang's flute was funny, making him remember the incident when his tail was accidentally stepped on by Lan Guan Zhi.
New rrrr~
Lan Xiao rubbed his head on Lan Guan Zhi's hand. He let out a snoring sound as he got a caress from this cultivator whom he considered father. Lan Xiao shook his tail.
Xiao Shuxiang's flute game is not finished, because in the middle of the song.. Lan Guan Zhi asked him to stop.
".. The tone is too high, study again."
Nyawn nyan!
Lan Guan Zhi rubbed the Moon Tiger's head slowly, as if he agreed with what this Demonic Beast had just said. Xiao Shuxiang's game was like an animal whose neck was suffocated.
"Means I have to keep practicing, all right.."
Lan Guan Zhi nodded softly at Xiao Shuxiang's words, then stood up and asked his 15 brothers to go rest.
Lesson this time, Xiao Shuxiang sat at the very back, precisely at the left corner. He was no longer willing to sit in front, making it difficult to move freely and more sleepy than usual.
The night classes did not last long. When he finished, the first Xiao Shuxiang came out, he immediately darted towards the bamboo forest of the Sky Sword Sect to pluck some lotus fruit.
While setting his foot, a small blue flame Xiao Shuxiang suddenly appeared. These were the flames that he had placed on Hu Li, Jing Mi, Nie Shang, and Qi Xuan in the Stone Land.
The presence of his blue flames signified that Xiao Shuxiang's friends had returned home, and they were now in the Butterfly Sect.
"Hm? Nie Shang decided to stay in the Land of Stones? All right, if that's what he wants.."
Xiao Shuxiang's little blue flame floated up and down slowly, he was like he was talking.
"Little friend, I have a task for you.." Xiao Shuxiang asked his little blue flame to go to the Butterfly Sect and relay his message to Yang Shu.
At that time Xiao Shuxiang did not have time to express his desire to make the citizens of Cold Cloud City able to fight even though they did not include cultivators. His blue flame nodded and immediately disappeared.
Xiao Shuxiang picked some lotus fruit that was by the lake, he enjoyed this alone time and calmed him down.
Unfortunately, the calm of the night with the moon shining brightly only lasted ten minutes until he heard the sound of a fight.
The longer, the sound the more time-intrusive Xiao Shuxiang was. He who could not bear to start looking for the origin of the commotion.
?!
Some bamboo trees swayed unnaturally, like something had just hit him. Xiao Shuxiang further accelerated his pace, he started to get curious.
Elsewhere, it was right in the direction that Xiao Shuxiang was heading to right now.. There is a heavy fight going on.
Where a girl who turned out to be Ling Qing Zhu was fighting against Sian Ru. There were four other Heaven Sword Sect disciples who saw the fight of these two girls, yet they clearly supported Sian Ru.
The trail!
Ling Qing Zhu was indeed unable to sense the Qi let alone use it, yet his sword technique he never forgot.
Despite being a hostage of the Sky Sword Sect, he was still allowed to use his sword. That was why Ling Qing Zhu was able to withstand Sian Ru's attacks, albeit with great difficulty.
".. Why don't you go and ask Young Master Lan for help? You usually stick to him, too,"
Sian Ru taunted Ling Qing Zhu, she insulted him as a thick-faced girl, very inappropriate to stay in her sect.
".. You're just soiling this place, shouldn't you be following your uncle to the afterlife, huh?!"
The trail!
Ling Qing Zhu resisted three of Sian Ru's five consecutive strikes, the other two aimed at her right arm and back.
The red color was visible on Ling Qing Zhu's white clothes. This wound was quite deep and very painful, yet he tried hard to endure it. He could not fall let alone release his sword.
Sian Ru obviously just toyed with him, gave him the wound until he was satisfied and then left as if nothing had ever happened.
Stupidly, Ling Qing Zhu did not want to complain about the behavior of Sian Ru and the four girl friends to Lan Guan Zhi or Patriarch Lan whom he often met.
Maybe because he felt it was unnecessary, who was he anyway? He was just a prisoner who should have been treated like this.
The reason why he did not end his life even though he had been subjected to a lot of harsh treatment and incessant insults was because death could not save him at all.
Sian Ru's attack hit him again. The cold sweat point and pale face started to appear even though Ling Qing Zhu was wearing a veil.
His eyes blurred, clearly this was due to the blood that kept coming out from the incision of Sian Ru's sword.
"Why are you so stubborn? Don't you want to know why the elder allowed you to keep your sword? Hmph, of course to make you die with your own hands,"
!!
Ling Qing Zhu was clearly shocked. He could not clearly see Sian Ru's face, yet he could tell that this opponent was putting on the most degrading look ever.
"Well, since when can the Sky Sword Sect have this niggling tactic? Aren't you from the Neutral Flow?"
!!
Sian Ru and her four friends were shocked when they heard a familiar voice in their ears, Ling Qing Zhu was similarly shocked.
"Where did he come from? I don't feel the air of its existence at all..!"
"That's.. Xiao Shuxiang..?!"
Sian Ru and her four friends could see Xiao Shuxiang leaning elegantly on a bamboo stick, his feet treading on one leaf so weak.
"Looking at you guys torturing a little tough girl makes me want to join in. Let's put aside the strict rules of the Sky Sword Sect, this kind of entertainment will certainly not be missed.."
A grin appeared on Xiao Shuxiang's handsome face along with the color of his eyes that turned red, although the next second returned to normal.
!!
Ling Qing Zhu held tightly onto his sword, he tried to hold back his weight from collapsing. His position is now not benefited, maybe tonight will be the end of his life history.
