XIAO SHUXIANG'S

300 - 'If You Can Escape From Death, Then Luck Will Come to You'

Who understood the intent of Xiao Shuxiang's remark about that strange saying.it was likely only Jing Mi, Siu Yixin, Hu Li, and Mo Huai.

The four of them knew about his friend's first life. And until now, they never told anyone.

As for Yi Wen, Hou Yong and Xiao Lu, the three interpreted Xiao Shuxiang's words with something else. This longhaired young man had once almost lost his life when fighting Wyvern back then, so it was likely that the intent of Xiao Shuxiang's remark was because of that.

Nie Shang himself instead assumed that the 'death' that his Brother Xiao had said was when his friend had escaped the death sentence of the Third Patriarch of the Sky Sword Sect, while they were still studying in the sect.

And because of that, Xiao Shuxiang had the good fortune of learning to be an Alchemist.

".. Right, that's for sure" Nie Shang nodded his head.

There was no need to inquire about Xiao Qing Yan, he simply did not understand which direction these young people were talking in. He and O Zhan just focus on eating and then stop when they feel full.

The next one to ask was Jing Mi, she was very curious as to how her Brother Xiao could meet Xiao Qing Yan and make him an adventure friend.

Hearing the question from his brother, made Xiao Shuxiang hold his breath. He glanced at Hu Li but his friend looked the other way. "Young Master Xiao, forgive me. They ask you.."

"Brother Xiao, how is it? You must have had a memorable experience, tell us..!" Jing Mi urged, Hou Yong and Nie Shang also followed along.

"The most memorable experience..?"

It would be a disgrace to Xiao Shuxiang to tell how she disguised herself as a woman to her friends, and it was impossible for her to say that she had been fed human flesh by a group of pirates, he might scare his friends.

Jing Mi, "Brother, why are you quiet? Come on tell us, I wonder what the Northern Continent is like.."

"Me too, did you visit the emperor's palace? How's the situation there?" Xiao Lu became excited, the Emperor of the Northern Continent was the father of his grandfather, he was very sure his younger brother was visiting their family.

"Hm.. All I can say is.. The Northern Continent was extremely cold, every day it was always snowing, unlike in the Eastern Continent. Even where I found this kid.. Being in an ice-covered region. And worst of all, the people there woke up at three in the morning,"

Xiao Lu snorted, waking up at that hour was common, only Xiao Shuxiang was always slow to wake up. ".. You sleep in three seconds, but it's hard to wake up. You often forget to breathe and your heart is like dying while you're asleep, are you really human?"

"Fussy Girl, when did I ever forget to breathe? And my heart only beats once every two minutes, that's the longest. And the fastest one happened while I was near the White Cat,"

Xiao Shuxiang smiled as he blinked one eye at Ling Qing Zhu, his behavior making his friends surprised, Hou Yong even choked on his own food.

Jiu Sheng coughed when he heard Xiao Shuxiang say. The long-haired young man had just teased Ling Qing Zhu in an unusual way, he had not expected this to happen.

He then watched carefully the look on Ling Qing Zhu's face. The girl remained calm, but when looked at carefully.. His eyelashes seemed to be trembling a little.

A second later, Ling Qing Zhu looked at Xiao Shuxiang and then gave a brief snort, ".. Embarrassing,"

"Brother Xiao, why are you flirting with Miss Ling? You're making your pride go down, at least you're teasing me.. That Miss Ling doesn't like shameless youth like you, but I.. Saaangaat.."

Yi Wen returned to drink his tea, this was already his fifth glass. He acted like a person who had just been drinking wine, even Siu Yixin and Mo Huai were trying to resuscitate him.

?!

"Miss Wen, are you really drunk?" Mo Huai patted softly on Yi Wen's shoulder as the girl fell asleep with the table as her pillow.

Siu Yixin smelled the aroma of tea in Yi Wen's bamboo glass and drank it a little, she simply did not feel any aromatic scent in this tea, nor did it taste.

"♪♩ What may be too much tea, Miss Yi Wen can get drunk, yo! This is the first case, which feels weird to me yo! ♩♬"

"Brother Xiao.. You don't.. Ever married.. With Miss Ling.." Yi Wen muttered as he occasionally hiccupped, his cheeks and nose looked red, he was really like a person who was heavily drunk.

"Tsk tsk tsk, now I know the effect of drinking too much tea is drunk. Cheerful girl, you bring Yi Wen to rest," Xiao Shuxiang returned to eat the food that had been delayed.

"Here you go, just let him in here for a second. You haven't told me about your visit to the emperor's palace, let's say.."

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled softly then explained as necessary, he said the emperor of the Northern Continent is a good person and his palace is also very spacious, unfortunately he and Hu Li did not have time to travel around and get to know more members of the emperor's family.

".. Then we went to the territory of the Eternal Ice Empire, saved the Black Cat, then went to the harbor, sailed the sea, and we arrived here.."

"Your woes are no exclamations at all, have you not met any pirates? A fight? How could your journey be so smooth without a hitch, what is the Northern Continent as safe as it is? What about the criminals? Black Flow Cultivator, didn't you meet them?"

...

Xiao Lu exhaled in disappointment when he saw the expression on his sister's face that was like saying, 'Come away.. You just think about it yourself..'

The reason Xiao Shuxiang explained so briefly was because he knew too many people were listening.

He did not want to let go of telling about his mission that should seal the Nine World Gates on people who would likely give him trouble.

After he finished eating, Xiao Lu started to help Yi Wen up and took her away.

Ling Qing Zhu who felt like she was going to be the only girl at this dining table-also got up and helped Xiao Lu to bring Yi Wen into the room, seeing her made Xiao Shuxiang flinch a little.

"White cat, I haven't finished eating. Who's gonna pay for all this? White Cat, I just teased you once, hey..!"

Ling Qing Zhu turned his head and with his face and soothing gaze, he began to say to Xiao Shuxiang:

"You pay,"

?!

"But, I haven't teased you much, what if I get lost while looking for my room?"

!

Ling Qing Zhu's words were dense, clear and completely unconcerned if Xiao Shuxiang was to be completely lost. Whereas shouldn't he be using this opportunity to get closer to his Guardian?

Xiao Shuxiang let out a long breath when he saw Ling Qing Zhu, Xiao Lu, and Yi Wen had already walked out and left him.

".. That girl sucks. Sometimes I want to pinch her hard cheek until she cries, her flat board face is even worse than Lan Zhi,"

"Relax Brother Xiao, Miss Ling was raised by a family full of rules, similar to Young Master Lan. She also rarely gets along, which is why she can't behave like most girls,"

Jing Mi nodded in agreement with Hou Yong's opinion, she had already stayed long enough in the Sky Pagoda Sect and indeed everyone surnamed 'Ling', had a flat board face expression.

".. It is very difficult to tell whether they are happy or sad when viewed from their facial expressions. They are the most rigid humans on earth,"

"I agree with you too, Brother Jing. Not only within the Sky Pagoda Sect, even every person surnamed 'Ling' in Big Dipper Star City definitely had a flat facial expression. Several times I have to be careful talking to them,"

Nie Shang fanned his face slowly, he then talked about the wine drinking party for his fellow men tonight, ".. Siu Yixin will decide the place. Brother Xiao, you also brought Young Master Lan and Young Master Ling, how?"

"I'm actually not so sure of your story, brother. The Northern Continent cannot be that safe. You must be hiding something, only you won't tell them. So come with us and we'll have a man-to-man chat, come on Brother Xiao.."

Jing Mi continued to persuade Xiao Shuxiang. His brother would gladly come along, even without the need for persuasion. After all Siu Yixin had promised to take him to the best wine shop in Big Dipper City.

".. But if to invite Lan Guan Zhi and Ling Lang Tian.. I'll work on it,"

This plan of Xiao Shuxiang with his companions was heard clearly by Hei An and Jiu Sheng, some warriors also heard it, but even though Xiao Shuxiang knew.. He doesn't care.

Gong Zitao, the outer disciple of the Sky Pagoda Sect as well as the person whom Xiao Shuxiang defeated also appeared at one of the tables.

He had already targeted Xiao Shuxiang. He would never be able to calm down before replying to his defeat.

".. Whatever happens.. He's gotta die,"

"Young Master, don't show your emotions. Subject a little of your view, we can't be too flashy,"

The young man who was with Gong Zitao was named Ge Yu Han, he was also an outer disciple of the Sky Pagoda Sect and was a loyal follower of the Gong family, he was in this place was due to following Gong Zitao.

The two stared at each other and then nodded upon learning that Xiao Shuxiang was going out of the Sky Pagoda Sect at nine p.m.

They still did not budge as the black-clothed young man started to get up from his seat and walked away with his friends.

Outside the Rest Hall, everyone's gaze remained on Xiao Shuxiang, yet none of them dared to approach.

Siu Yixin, Nie Shang, and Mo Huai said goodbye. They agreed to meet again outside the gate of the Sky Pagoda Sect.

After the three of their friends left, Hu Li began to take her Master back to the room.

It was not difficult to find the place, as he recognized the scent of his Young Master Xiao's room. Hu Li's existence had really made it easier for Xiao Shuxiang.

**

Xiao Shuxiang's room was actually adjacent to that of Hu Li, O Zhan, and Xiao Qing Yan. That's why even at night like this, they can still gather together.

Inside such a large room with a light green feel, Xiao Shuxiang appeared to be drawing the Map of the Middle Continent in one of his herbal plant books.

Xiao Shuxiang's recall was indeed incredible, he was able to draw every detail of the place in the Middle Continent after seeing the original map a few days ago.

Hu Li noticed how his Young Master had so seriously copied the map from within his memories onto the paper, ".. You have a strong memory, shouldn't this be unnecessary, Young Master?"

"Hu Li, I have never doubted my memory, but doing this is also not a bad idea. You don't ask me to talk first.. I'll take the wrong picture, too,"

Hu Li and Xiao Qing Yan watched closely how each ink stroke began to form the region and street of a place in the Middle Continent.

It took more than two hours for Xiao Shuxiang to finish the drawing, and when it was finished.. Xiao Qing Yan was already asleep.

Hu Li saw the ten-year-old lying next to him while hugging O Zhan, he turned to his Master and asked in a soft voice about his Young Master who was about to go out.

"Mn, I'm going out tonight. Nie Shang and the others must have waited by now,"

"Young Master, you mustn't drink too much and stay careful. I can't come, I have to take care of them,"

"Alright, you should also remain cautious," Xiao Shuxiang actually did have a plan to not include Hu Li and Xiao Qing Yan.

Xiao Shuxiang then inserted his herb plant book into the Universal Bracelet and began to wake up from where he was sitting.

He told Hu Li to stay in his room for the night while looking after Xiao Qing Yan, while he would go to see Lan Guan Zhi and Ling Lang Tian.

Xiao Shuxiang walked out through the window of his room, his legs landing perfectly on the grass.

This place is the backyard of the residence of the guests, when viewed from above.. The backyard is a square, with six mango trees and one purple wisteria tree.

The distance between Xiao Shuxiang's room and Lan Guan Zhi's room was quite far, the window of his friend's room was behind a wisteria tree.

Xiao Shuxiang preferred to go inside his friend's room through the window, but it seemed like it was the wrong decision.
