The one who hated Xiao Shuxiang beyond Ling Xuan Lu's hatred towards him was most likely Gong Zitao.

Even after he was saved, his hatred never diminished.

His hatred grew even more, especially when he knew that the room Xiao Shuxiang occupied was the room of Ling Qing Zhu, the girl he loved.

If you want to ask, Gong Zitao actually has a pretty handsome face and a nice body. He was also popular with the students, especially with his polite attitude. Arguably, Gong Zitao was the third popular young man in the Sky Pagoda Sect after Ling Jian Tou.

Unfortunately, popularity is like a wind-up coming and going. Originally, Lan Guan Zhi's presence had lowered his position in the most popular order, and now-present Xiao Shuxiang had further aggravated his position.

Who does not know the Alchemist Chef? He whose presence has instilled fear and disdain from the warriors he once fought.

He whose presence has made the warriors have to think many times if they want to seize his position as 'Protective Guardian' miss Ling Qing Zhu.

He was also the one whose presence could silence the people from the Ling family. A figure like him who had even opened his mind from Ling Lang Tian.

From the very beginning, the name 'Xiao Shuxiang' had already been very famous. And now, the name is getting famous even though it is no longer his title of a 'Destroying Star'.

Gong Zitao tightly clenched his two hands, he actually wanted Xiao Shuxiang to go home headless in the Sky Pagoda Sect. But what happened was not only to go home with the head-young man also still had his life.

"Damn it! Why didn't Qian Kun just kill that person. Isn't he strong? So how could he let Xiao Shuxiang live?!"

Anger was evident on Gong Zitao's face and eyes. He was currently standing with Ge Yu Han under one of the wisteria trees.

"Young Master, don't show your emotions. If someone else hears this, you could be in danger..." Ge Yu Han warned.

"... I'm sure, Master Qian Kun has other plans by not letting Xiao Shuxiang die. One of them was probably to give him the most painful taste of death. You can see how much the young man suffered."

Ge Yu Han spoke seriously, he said that Qian Kun was a dangerous person and had the mind of a high-class villain. If they wanted to get to know Qian Kun, then they would have to think in the manner of the crazy criminals.

"... For a person like Mister Qian Kun. Death is the most beautiful thing. Swordsmen seem to prefer to make opponents suffer as a result,"

Gong Zitao who heard Ge Yu Han's words started to turn his head and looked at the young man, "Do you want to know? Compared to Qian Kun, you are much more dangerous. Knowing how to think criminals seems to have proven you can be a part of them,"

Ge Yu Han was surprised, he tried to deny his Young Master's remark, even until his tone trembled slightly. It was like losing her courage just now.

"Young Master, I-I mean..."

Gong Zitao, "Why do you look so clumsy..? I'm just saying what I think of you. You're more experienced than I am,"

!!

"That's.. That's not true, sir. Sa-I can't possibly when compared to Young Master."

"I'm just kidding, but what you said was true. Qian Kun must have a plan, but hasn't told us yet"

"Senior..!"

Gong Zitao and Ge Yu Han gasped when they heard a foreign voice that appeared to be their fellow students.

The 16-year-old, dressed in white, red wisteria, approached Gong Zitao and Ge Yu Han. At that instant, Gong Zitao's hospitality was seen.

"Senior, what are you doing in this place? I was looking for you, we really need help,"

"I'll be there soon," Gong Zitao smiled kindly and then took Ge Yu Han with him.

He did not answer the question of that Heavenly Pagoda Sect disciple and the disciple did not bother about it at all. The look on his face had already shown that he was more concerned with repairing his sect than taking care of his senior matters.

*.......*

The sunlight was currently getting higher and for the umpteenth time-Xiao Shuxiang had not been able to get out of her room yet.

His condition did improve, but because the Bone Penetrating Nail was still on his body-he was unable to move freely.

?

The sound of the door being shifted and the scent of sandalwood instantly burst into the room where Xiao Shuxiang was.

He opened his eyes slowly and turned slightly towards the door. The figure of a young man dressed all in white who in recent days has never visited him.

"........"

Xiao Shuxiang did not speak, his gaze met a glance with the shady eyes of the young man who was walking closer towards him. Honestly, he missed his best friend.

"........"

Unlike the atmosphere when his other friends came, where it felt so warm, crowded and noisy. The current atmosphere even felt like it was on the outskirts of a calm lake.

Lan Guan Zhi started to sit next to his good friend, he never looked away at Xiao Shuxiang's face. The Alchemist Chef did the same.

"How are you doing?" Lan Guan Zhi finally opened his voice first. He touched the forehead of the young man beside him to make sure his good friend's body temperature was in a normal state.

Xiao Shuxiang blinked, his left hand stretched out and then touched Lan Guan Zhi's hand. He answered a question from his friend and said that things were a little better.

Not forgetting, Xiao Shuxiang complained about her not being allowed to leave the room. He felt very bored being kept locked up in this room, and why did Lan Guan Zhi just come to see him now? Where has his best friend been these past few days?!

"... You're outrageous. Is this how you treat your friends? Everyone came to see me, except you. I feel like our relationship means nothing at all..." Xiao Shuxiang looked sullen, he grumbled things even to the point of making Lan Guan Zhi blink because he did not expect his best friend to be this chatty.

"You're still sick,"

"Don't switch Lan'Er's talk. I'm pissed at you. Where the hell have you been? Don't you care about me anymore?"

Lan Guan Zhi's shady eyes slightly bowed, "That's.. Not true." his voice was slow and as if he wanted to continue with his words, but it seemed quite difficult.

Xiao Shuxiang turned his face slightly, as if refusing to look at his good friend. His face was still bent as he again grumbled.

"Sucks. You are a friend I consider valuable, someone very important to me. But what I see is that you don't think of me as anyone. I was expecting you, Lan Zhi. Can't you care a little about me?"

Lan Guan Zhi blinked seeing her friend could let out a grunt that was a little similar to the wife who was nagging her husband. He shook his head slowly, his eyes softened as if he understood the true nature of his good friend.

"I'm mad at you, Lan'Er. You have to persuade me anyway-Well!"

Xiao Shuxiang let out a stifled scream as Lan Guan Zhi slapped his right shoulder softly. He immediately looked towards the young man beside him with slightly arid eyes.

"Listen to me," Lan Guan Zhi spoke seriously. He did not want to linger in this place and continued to hear the humiliating grunts from Xiao Shuxiang. It could be, he could not resist and instead did something rude and not to his best friend.

"... I've found a way to get that heirloom out of your body."

Xiao Shuxiang looked at his friend, his countenance was different from the one before. This time he was like enthusiastic listening to Lan Guan Zhi's words, he even forgot about the pain earlier.

"I just realized... You're a little pale Lan Zhi. You also look like you're sleep deprived, what have you done?"

"........"

Lan Guan Zhi did not answer the question from Xiao Shuxiang. Only, his increasingly soft eyes seemed to prove that he was like this was for the sake of his good friend.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was not an insensitive person, he clearly knew the answer to his question just now just by looking into Lan Guan Zhi's eyes.

"You're this... There should be no need to force yourself. You're too kind to me" Xiao Shuxiang's voice softly, his eyes filled with guilt.

"That's not true. I did what I thought could help you,"

The shady eyes of Lan Guan Zhi and the sincerity of his words were - how always to make Xiao Shuxiang feel uneasy and touched simultaneously.

There was something in his heart that was like being piled up and difficult to take out. There was a desire to say something to his best friend, but it seemed to be stuck in his throat.

In the end, Xiao Shuxiang simply exhaled softly and held tightly onto Lan Guan Zhi's hand. "You must love me very much Dad.. Hm.. I'm lucky to have a friend like you, Lan'Er.."

"Don't say that. You're like someone who's going to die" Lan Guan Zhi helped her friend lie down, saying she'd bring her breakfast soon.

"But I don't want to sleep, Lan Zhi. You haven't even told me how to take these nails off,"

"Explain it later. You rest and wait for me," Lan Guan Zhi enveloped her good friend's body and then walked away towards the door.

Xiao Shuxiang simply lay down, his two eyes completely unclenched. He stared at Lan Guan Zhi until his friend's back was blocked by the sliding door.

Outside, Lan Guan Zhi walked towards the kitchen. He had heard Xiao Shuxiang's message asking him not to leave too long, he also did not intend to make his friend wait.

The kitchen of the Sky Pagoda Sect was not too far away from Ling Qing Zhu's room that Xiao Shuxiang was currently inhabiting, so Lan Guan Zhi did not take long to get there.

The kitchen door was wide open, Lan Guan Zhi walked in and met a long white-haired girl who was apparently Ling Qing Zhu.

The thin veiled pretty girl looked like she had just finished making a bowl of porridge. He knew that someone was coming, but he did not expect that person to be Lan Guan Zhi.

"........"

"........"

Lan Guan Zhi did not speak, he walked towards Ling Qing Zhu and stopped right beside the girl. He was greeted first even with a voice that seemed flat.

"Young Master Lan wants to make breakfast for him?"

"Mrs. But Miss Ling seems to have made it first,"

Ling Qing Zhu slightly lowered his gaze, he stared towards the red ginseng porridge he made, his hands trembling slightly.

Just like Ling Lang Tian and the other members of the Ling family - where Lan Guan Zhi could read something hidden from Ling Qing Zhu's calm, flat face.

This thin veiled pretty girl actually cares so much about her best friend. Ling Qing Zhu did indeed just dislike being honest with Xiao Shuxiang, as the young man would definitely be big-headed.

Lan Guan Zhi exhaled softly. If it were him, he would do the same. Xiao Shuxiang was very annoying when the great illness of his head relapsed.

"Young Master Lan, please give this to her." Ling Qing Zhu gave a bowl of red ginseng porridge to Lan Guan Zhi.

!

"Miss Ling, it's much better if Miss herself delivers to him, I-!!"

Lan Guan Zhi was surprised when Ling Qing Zhu instead gave a bowl containing red ginseng porridge that was clearly intended for Xiao Shuxiang. The beautiful girl also seemed to rush away saying that she would get clothes for her Guardian Protector.

"Miss Ling-" Lan Guan Zhi was silent for a moment before exhaling softly. Ling Qing Zhu left so quickly leaving him with a bowl of porridge.

If the situation was like this, then it was with great force that he had to deliver the cuisine made by the beautiful girl to Xiao Shuxiang.

Lan Guan Zhi again exhaled softly and then walked towards his good friend's room. Xiao Shuxiang was lying down without closing his eyes, as if his friend was waiting for him.

"I'm tired of Lan Zhi.."

"Wake up, and eat your food." Lan Guan Zhi closed the door.

He walked towards Xiao Shuxiang, sat down beside his friend and put down Ling Qing Zhu's bowl of ginseng porridge.

Xiao Shuxiang grimaced as he tried to get up, he was immediately helped by Lan Guan Zhi. He was so lazy to eat, but usually-this kind of questions always make him excited.

"I'm not hungry Lan Zhi.."

"Don't be spoiled, you're not like you."

Lan Guan Zhi thrust a spoon at Xiao Shuxiang, but the young man could not use his right hand, nor was he used to eating with his left hand.

Very shamelessly, Xiao Shuxiang asked to be fed by his good friend. Lan Guan Zhi himself did not mind, he did as the young man in front of him asked.

"You made this? It feels so bland.." Xiao Shuxiang commented on the red ginseng porridge that he felt was made by his good friend.

"Miss Ling cooked it for you,"

"Mn? Did ya? Then why did you bring him here? If he comes, I can be fed by the White Cat. It's kind of embarrassing if I'm even fed by you,"

"Then use your own hands,"

"Lan Zhi, if I could, then I've been doing this since, I can't possibly ask you for your help with these kinds of things,"

Xiao Shuxiang bit his spoon briefly as Lan Guan Zhi tried to pull it out. He looked resentfully at his friend and cursed in his heart for it was not his White Cat who was bribing him.

The taste of red ginseng porridge is actually delicious if Xiao Shuxiang ate it in top condition. But alas, his weak body had an effect on the sensitivity of his tongue in tasting.

"I don't want to anymore, Lan Zhi.. That's enough."

"One more bribe," Lan Guan Zhi's manner resembled that of a father who was persuading his son to eat. But when viewed from the perspective of a figure like the Mad Beggar Boy, Lan Guan Zhi was like a husband who was so considerate of his wife.

Incidentally, the person who was being called-that Crazy Beggar Boy was seen walking towards Xiao Shuxiang's room. His steps came to a halt when he heard a faint voice.

"That's enough.. I can't take it anymore." Xiao Shuxiang's tone of voice was weak.

"Once again.. This is the last one,"

?

"Can we go to the next stage alone, Lan'Er? I'm not strong anymore.."

!!

The Crazy Beggar Boy was shocked, yet made no sound. Only his eyes and mouth were wide open when he heard a strange weak voice from behind the closed door in front of him.

"Lan Zhi's.. Come onl.. Don't make me wait long.. I'm not strong.."

"Mn, I get it. Let me help you take your clothes off first,"

!!

"DORCH..!! WHAT DID I JUST HEAR?!" The Crazy Beggar Boy shouted excitedly in his heart. His mind was like sending out a signal that seemed to already have an answer.

The eyes of the Crazy Beggar Boy sparkled, both of his cheeks were reddish. He smiled widely and slowly brought his ears closer to the door.

He could hear the ringing sound as well as the attentive soft voice that he deeply believed belonged to his Lan'Er Gegenya.

"Lan Zhi's.. How's next..?"

"Rilex.. And let me do it,"

"Mrs.."

!!

Crazy Beggar Boy doesn't know why, but he's very enthusiastic about stealing listen. His heart and mind say that behind this door something extraordinary is happening.

Not far from where he was, Jing Mi and Hou Yong were seen walking together. The two slightly frowned when they saw the Mad Beggar Boy. They looked at each other before they both nodded.

Jing Mi and Hou Yong immediately walked over to the Crazy Demolition Boy, both of them were curious about the behavior of this young man who was like he was spying on their Brother Xiao.

"Looks exciting.. What the hell are you doing?" Jing Mi patted the shoulder of the Crazy Beggar Boy and immediately got a reply in the form of a lump in her mouth.

"Sat.. Keep your voice. Don't be noisy.."

?!

Jing Mi and Hou Yong frowned. The two then followed the Mad Beggar Boy to steal a listen, they pressed their ears on the assumption that Brother Xiao was with a girl who was most likely Ling Qing Zhu.

"Kh.. Ahh!"

"Calm down,"

!!

The eyes of Jing Mi and Hou Yong were wide-eyed when they heard the voices of two people they believed to be of the same sex - namely men.

"wait. Didn't it just sound Brother Xiao and Young Master Lan?" Jing Mi looked at Hou Yong who was apparently also taken in by her friend.

The faces of these two young men turned pale, their minds branched and clearly both of them were imagining something non-no.

Jing Mi half whispered, "Actually what is Brother Xiao doing inside there?"

Hou Yong, "Did it just feel like me or did it just sound like Brother Xiao sighed?"

Crazy Beggar Boy, "You two are innocent children. Isn't that obvious, Lan'Er Gege is taking a ration."

!!
