XIAO SHUXIANG'S
319 - Ling Qing Zhu IV
Xiao Shuxiang as usual, he immediately left after defeating all his opponents without saying a single word. He darted away from the fighting arena with a bamboo stick belonging to the Crazy Beggar Boy.
To his friends, this action of Xiao Shuxiang was commonplace. But for some disciples as well as representatives of the 'Ling' family'.. What he did was not polite at all.
The one who was offended was Ling Qu Hua, Ling Qing Zhu's grandmother. This old woman looked like she was 70 years old, her hair was long black, and she had light purple eyes that were similar to the color of Ling Lang Tian's eyes.
Although his face showed calmness, but in his heart he clearly did not like the behavior of his Granddaughter's Guardian.
Yet for now he was still unwilling to deal with Xiao Shuxiang, it was much better if all the decisions were given to Ling Chu Zhen, the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect as well as the chairman of the 'Ling' clan'.
The Mad Beggar Boy who saw Xiao Shuxiang leave also hurriedly stepped his foot, but only five steps away.. A young man in white uniform with a golden dragon complexion had suddenly appeared right in front of him.
!!
The handsome young man who looked to be 39 years old was none other than Ling Lang Tian. His unexpected presence made the Mad Beggar Boy have trouble swallowing his saliva.
"Hai-hi.."
Awkwardly, that was what the Mad Beggar Boy was currently feeling. He did not dislike meeting Ling Lang Tian, it was just that the good looks and body shape of this young man in front of him made it difficult to control himself.
".. My heart almost jumped out.. Haaah.. I really want to hug her,"
The Mad Beggar Boy clenched his hands agitatedly, he slightly lowered his head in embarrassment as Ling Lang Tian had been continuously looking at him without making any sound.
"Ehm.. You're.."
"The two want to meet you, please come with me."
?!
The Mad Beggar Boy was indeed interested in Ling Lang Tian, but he was unwilling to meet the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect.
His brain seemed to be spinning to find a way for him to escape from this place, but unfortunately Ling Lang Tian first held his hand.
!!
The Mad Beggar Boy almost exploded. He shouted excitedly in his heart, no dream what he was last night until his hand was held by a handsome young man.
".. It's awesome, his hands are solid and muscular. Gosh darn.. I almost died.."
?
Ling Lang Tian slightly frowned as this young man he held his hand revealed a red meticulous face.
He did not know that the person nearby was the Mad Beggar Boy. This was because the clean-faced young man did not wear his strange makeup.
If Ling Lang Tian knew, he would definitely prefer to hold the back collar of the Mad Beggar Boy and drag him to meet the Grand Elder.
**
Xiao Shuxiang's second battle that ended with his brutal act of stepping on the internal organs of the opponent made himself even more known to the disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect.
His name became a topic of conversation in the sect's surroundings. Some make him a role model, but not a few who feel afraid of him.
".. He's so cool..! You see this, until now the feathers in my hands are still standing.." a male disciple of the Sky Pagoda Sect with four of his friends was seen talking about Xiao Shuxiang outside the battle arena.
"I feel that way too. All this time, I've never killed in the way he did.."
Not a single disciple of the Sky Pagoda Sect had forgotten Xiao Shuxiang's first fight in this place. And now they had to witness again his brutality in killing the opponent.
Not only were the disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect, but the servants also discussed about Xiao Shuxiang. They also watched the fight and until now the picture has not disappeared.
Fear and admiration mixed into one in the hearts of the servants. The unforgettable scene in the memory of three beautiful servants walking is when Dersana was stabbed by a bamboo stick until the skull was hollow.
The picture was indeed frightening, but considering that who killed Dersana was a charming young man.. The servants were more interested and amazed at their Miss Guardian Protector.
Elsewhere, there were four young purple-clothed female servants who appeared to be peering at Xiao Shuxiang from the window of his room.
They closed their mouths with both hands and tried to hold back their excitement by peering at a young man in the bath.
Is correct. After the fight was over, Xiao Shuxiang decided to return to the room and clean up. He continues to curse because today he has taken three baths, but the sun is still not too high.
"Heah.. The swordsmen's blood is so concentrated, I don't even have the intention to try it.."
Xiao Shuxiang drowned his head in the bathtub. It looks like the tub water is dark red, but slowly bright and then turns clear again.
The greatness of his yellow grass could not be underestimated. It only took two grasses and Xiao Shuxiang could enjoy the clear and clean water.
The four female servants were still peering at Xiao Shuxiang, they could not take their eyes off the young man who had such a flawless clean body.
Not to mention, the painting of the fire Phoenix on Xiao Shuxiang's back had its own charm. These four servants even wished to touch the painting and hug it.
".. Handsome face and long hair.. He also has good eyelashes.. Gosh darn.. I seem to have fallen for her.."
"I agree.. All along Young Master Ling and Young Master Lan were the most handsome, they were both like an authoritative iceberg. It was very intimidating when I met them. But Young Master Xiao was different.. He has a charming, friendly face, and no one will believe that he likes to separate the body of the opponent.."
These four beautiful female servants knew that even though Ling Lang Tian and Lan Guan Zhi were cold youths, but neither of them had ever done anything as brutal as Xiao Shuxiang.
These servants were still talking about Guardian Protector Ling Qing Zhu while continuing to peek. They seemed to be unaware that Ling Qing Zhu was currently walking towards them.
".. Ahh! He'll stand up..!"
"Shhh.. Keep your voice down.."
?!
Ling Qing Zhu noticed his four maidservants who were shamelessly even peeking at a young man taking a bath, let alone that was.. Xiao Shuxiang's?
"What are you guys doing?"
!!
The four dark-brown maidservants gasped and slowly turned their eyes to the origin of the sound that seemed to be coming from behind.
!!
How shocked these female servants were when they found out they were being pestered by Ling Qing Zhu.
"Young No-Miss.. Wh-we.."
"Miss.. T-this is not what you think. We're.."
Two of Ling Qing Zhu's servants tried to give an explanation, but still they were too drunk. Don't know what to say because their Miss knows the truth.
Xiao Shuxiang, "Who's there?"
!!
Not to lose the shock of the four maids because of being caught by Ling Qing Zhu-now they had instead heard a cry from inside the room of the young man they were peeping on.
Xiao Shuxiang directly came out of the bathtub and grabbed the clothes nearby, simultaneously as the four female servants outside his room who immediately ran away without saluting their Young Miss.
?!
Ling Qing Zhu although his face remained calm, but in fact he was jolted and astonished because his servant had suddenly left without any excuse.
As he was still overwhelmed with astonishment, the window nearby began to open wide and revealed the figure of a young man dressed in white with long wet unraveling hair.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang flinched when he found out that the noisy person outside his room was actually Ling Qing Zhu, he was indeed more focused on water than increasing his sensitivity to the surroundings.
"White Cat..? What are you doing here?"
?!
Ling Qing Zhu subconsciously held his breath. The look in his eyes pointed at Xiao Shuxiang's slightly open chest, this was not something that should have been seen.
Immediately he lowered his gaze and nervously explained that someone was peeping at Xiao Shuxiang taking a bath.
"Mn? Did ya? Then where is that guy?" Xiao Shuxiang did not see anyone other than Ling Qing Zhu, hence he felt curious.
"They.. It's gone,"
Xiao Shuxiang raised next to his brows and then smiled meaningfully. In a soft voice he said to Ling Qing Zhu that he seemed to know the person who was peeping at him.
"really?"
Xiao Shuxiang gave a smile and then gently nudged the thin veiled girl's forehead in front of him. What he did made Ling Qing Zhu flinch.
"What.. You mean.. I'm the one.."
!!
Nodding softly at Xiao Shuxiang made Ling Qing Zhu no longer need to continue with her words. The young man before him clearly thought that he was the one peeking.
Not wanting to be accused, Ling Qing Zhu pulled out Xiao Shuxiang's clothes as the young man was intending to turn around and leave her, he had to explain this misunderstanding.
Unfortunately, because it is too hard to pull clothes.. Xiao Shuxiang's white shoulder became visible.
!!
The atmosphere started to be less than good for Ling Qing Zhu, he could not blink when he saw the smooth shoulder of the young man in front of him.
Xiao Shuxiang also stared at his shoulder before his eyes looked at the girl who was still holding her clothes.
...
"All right, White Cat. What do you really want?"
"Basic shame,"
!!
Xiao Shuxiang was just asking ordinary questions, yet Ling Qing Zhu even said it was shameless?! Especially after saying so, the thin veiled girl immediately stepped away.
It was uncertain how Xiao Shuxiang's facial expression, which he clearly did not expect to hear Ling Qing Zhu's remark to him.
".. Hah, I didn't take her shower together, nor did I ask her anything strange, but why did she even say I was 'shameful'? Aiii.. You were the one who pulled my clothes off the White Cat..! Back here..! Hey..!"
Ling Qing Zhu heard Xiao Shuxiang's exclamation, but he was completely unwilling to stop walking let alone turn his body and look at the annoying young man.
**
The Grand Elder Sect's private room of the Sky Pagoda was not far from the fish pond where Xiao Shuxiang had once splashed. The place was spacious and dominated by pink and white.
Ling Lang Tian was seen sitting beside his father, while in front of him there had been Lan Guan Zhi and the Crazy Beggar Boy. Each in front of them was a sitting table made of fir wood.
Four servants were seen putting special tea and sweet food as a dish for the four men. The one who directly tried the food after it was laid was the Crazy Beggar Boy.
"Ehm.. It's yummy~"
The Mad Beggar Boy praised the young servant beside him, he instantly got a hard-to-understand look from Ling Chu Zhen, Ling Lang Tian, and Lan Guan Zhi.
"Hmm? Why are you looking at me like that? The food put here is not to be a display, have eaten first we talk.."
Now the look on the faces of the three people staring at the Crazy Beggar Boy began to be legible. They apparently thought of one thing in common, that the young man dressed in black with red stripes with white inner lining was a shameless young man.
Ling Chu Zhen exhaled softly and then began to make a sound. He asked where the Crazy Beggar Boy had been all this time, ".. You're very hard to contact and even my students can never find you,"
"mm? Why are you looking for me..?"
Ling Chu Zhen had already prepared this before, a battering ram devoted to disciplining the Mad Beggar Boy.
!!
"Do you know the answer and still ask? Is that just wine and men?!"
Only the Mad Beggar Boy could make Ling Chu Zhen lose his composure. He continued to moan and plead not to be hit again, but the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect just kept giving him a punch in the arm.
"Admend it! Lan'Er Gege's..! Help me..! He's gonna kill me..! I don't want to die..! Lan'Er Gege Help Me.!"
The Mad Beggar Boy tried to hide behind Lan Guan Zhi, he embraced the arms, hugged from behind, and as if almost climbed up the young man for being too afraid of being hit by Ling Chu Zhen.
Lan Guan Zhi himself still put on his calm, flat face. He could feel both the legs of the Mad Beggar Boy coiling around his waist and the chest of the young man as if attached to his back. He was clearly hugged so tightly.
Ling Chu Zhen, "Take off Young Master Lan now, how dare you touch her. Let's get it off, let's get it off,"
"I don't want to..! You always hit me..! I don't want to die..! Don't kill me..!"
"That's because you deserve to be hit,"
Ling Lang Tian did not expect his father would act this kind of, usually only one person was able to make his Father lose his composure, and it was a crazy young man.
It seemed that he did not know that the young man he was thinking about was now in front of him. Naturally Ling Lang Tian was not aware of that because he never knew how the real face of the crazy young man who often made trouble with his father.
The Mad Beggar Boy was actually the most senior disciple of the Sky Pagoda Sect. He initially worked at a brothel. Because of his satisfying service, many comfort women do not like him.
They did many ways to make the Mad Beggar Boy no longer like the customers, and one of the events instead brought him together with Ling Chu Zhen.
Actually, the Mad Beggar Boy was following Ling Chu Zhen because he thought that the cold and unapproachable young man was a challenge. But who would have thought that he had instead ended up becoming a disciple of the Sky Pagoda Sect.
!!
".. Do you need to hit this hard? What do you think my bones are made of?" The Mad Beggar Boy though looked annoyed, yet he did not dare to look at Ling Chu Zhen, let alone release his embrace from Lan Guan Zhi.
Ling Lang Tian blinked, he felt familiar with the voice of the young man behaving strangely. For about three breaths he thought.. Ling Lang Tian began to realize that the one who hugged Young Master Lan was the Mad Beggar Boy, the Senior Disciple who had escaped from his Sect.
His feelings became uneasy, rumors about that young man who was a same-sex enthusiast had already spread almost throughout the entire Middle Sky Empire. Everyone knows and obviously this is not just a rumor.
?!
Lan Guan Zhi gasped when he saw Ling Lang Tian standing up suddenly. The young man politely asked for permission to leave for a while.
He actually wanted to wash his hands because he only knew that what he was holding was the hands of the Mad Beggar Boy.
As long as Ling Lang Tian went-Ling Chu Zhen continued to hit the arms and back of the Mad Beggar Boy until he was completely satisfied. Not forgetting he gave a nagging that even Lan Guan Zhi himself did not understand what he meant.
The Crazy Beggar Boy himself seemed to sob because Lan Guan Zhi was not protecting him at all. If Xiao Shuxiang had known the behavior of this young man.. That guy must've kicked the ass of that Crazy Beggar Boy and hung his legs on a tree.
Ling Chu Zhen tidied his clothes and then exhaled softly. He sat back with dignity and warned the Mad Beggar Boy to no longer wear strange makeup, let alone go sell himself to a brothel.
"But I didn't bring up the name of your sect..? I have to work to support life, there's no way I'll continue to depend on you.." The Crazy Beggar Boy made a soft voice without letting go of his embrace.
"I told you in this place all your living expenses I guarantee it. You don't have to do anything else,"
"I don't want to be your mistress,"
"You..!"
!!
The Crazy Beggar Boy continued to hide his face on Lan Guan Zhi's back. His words just now made the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect almost hit him.
It was not without reason that Ling Chu Zhen was behaving like this to the Mad Beggar Boy. He was actually running a will from the one he respected to give shade to the Mad Beggar Boy and make him part of the Sky Pagoda Sect.
"Heah.. Having a crush on you all day isn't even enough. You'll get your hospitality rations later, you better leave now to accept your punishment,"
?!
The Mad Beggar Boy wanted to protest, but while peeking at the expression on the face of the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect from behind Lan Guan Zhi's back.. He immediately broke the intention.
He slowly released his embrace from Lan Guan Zhi and carefully stood up then directly ran towards the door.
The Mad Beggar Boy tried to control his breath when he managed to temporarily break free from Ling Chu Zhen. She faintly heard the voice of the handsome Old Bangka who was apparently discussing the matter of marriage with Lan Guan Zhi.
!!
Feeling this was an interesting thing, the Mad Beggar Boy arranged a position to be able to steal the listen. He felt he had just received some big news.
It was heard that Ling Chu Zhen asked Lan Guan Zhi for her opinion regarding his daughter. This was too sudden and it felt quite strange for the Mad Beggar Boy.
".. Isn't the Guardian of his daughter the Boy? But why was the one called here Lan'Er Gege? Don't tell Old Bangka it wants Lan'Er Gege to sabotage?"
Indeed, in the struggle for the title of 'Protective Guardian' can be done by all youths from various circles, including Lan Guan Zhi. That young cultivator could challenge Xiao Shuxiang to a duel, he was certainly not forbidden.
The Mad Beggar Boy further closed his ears, he heard Lan Guan Zhi's voice saying it took him a few days before talking to Xiao Shuxiang.
Before he was caught for daring to eavesdrop.. The Crazy Beggar Boy immediately went to look for Xiao Shuxiang. If his thoughts were correct, then Lan Guan Zhi would pose a challenge to his good friend.
