XIAO SHUXIANG'S

423 - Discussion of Marriage II

Xiao Shuxiang's wedding plan with Ling Qing Zhu was indeed being discussed by the core members of his second family, where there were differences of opinion about the location of the wedding.

Yang Shu wanted the wedding of his favorite granddaughter to take place in the Northern Continent, precisely at the White Snow Emperor's palace. This was actually not his own wish, but also the request of the Emperor who was also his father.

On the other hand, it was important for Yang Shu, Yang Hao, and Xiao WeiWei to hear the opinions of their families who were in the Eastern Continent, he said, mainly people who had relations with Xiao Shuxiang were like Alchemist Zhou Yan.

The patriarch of the Sky Sword Sect was a figure close to their Xiao'Er. Then there was Duan De and the disciples of the Butterfly Sect who should not be ignored.

On the other hand, the core family of Ling Qing Zhu wanted the wedding to take place in the Sky Pagoda Sect, of course their own continent. The problem was, the distance between the Central Continent and the Northern Continent was not a distance that could be covered in a short time.

"..."

Ling Lang Tian was more silent and listened to the conversation. But not infrequently he became a mediator when things became tense.

Ling Lang Tian's feelings said that his sister's marriage would not take place simply. This could be seen from the background of his unusual sister-in-law.

"I'm sure it's not just the Northern Continent and the Central Continent that's involved. Shuxiang is a hero in the Eastern Continent, people there also want to be involved in the marriage of a figure they admire. It was impossible that they would not protest if the location of Shuxiang and Qing Zhu'Er's wedding only took place in the Northern Continent and this place.."

Ling Lang Tian's words were justified by Xiao WeiWei. He also said that his son's marriage would involve the Third Stream, too, this was obviously because Xiao Shuxiang was on good terms with the Grand Elder of the Demon Skull Sect and due to the war of the ancients many Black Stream cultivators admired his son.

".. It is likely that this will be the biggest wedding. I'm so unsure about the date,"

"Wei'Er, the second full moon is the best date. If it delays again, I'm afraid we won't find a chance as good as this again.." Yang Shu rubbed his beard before returning to talk.

".. The problem now is - how do you get married in three places that the distance each place takes months? Is it possible that the Xiao'Er Moving Mirror can be used?"

!

Yang Hao and Xiao WeiWei gasped, it must be something great if Xiao Shuxiang could really connect the three continents using the Mirror Transferring technique.

In contrast to the two, the GrandElder Sect of the Heavenly Pagoda, the mother, and grandmother of Ling Lang Tian seemed to frown because they did not know the meaning of Yang Shu's words. They did not seem to know of any of the best talents that Xiao Shuxiang had.

To Ling Lang Tian himself, he instead smiled hearing Yang Shu's words. The moving mirror will be very useful during the wedding preparation period until the mutually agreed day.

Xiao Shuxiang shook his head several times and clucked unexpectedly. He was currently sitting leaning against one of the tree branches while watching his family members who were conversing with the Ling Qing Zhu family.

Distance himself to the location of his family far enough, he used the Eye God Pill to see and focus his hearing in order to steal the conversation of the two families.

"Brother Xiao, when are you up there?" Jing Mi who was under the tree looked up as she called Xiao Shuxiang. He was together with Hou Yong, Yi Wen, and his other friends.

"Since you seemed to be thinking about something, what's going on?" The Crazy Beggar Boy leaped and landed right beside Xiao Shuxiang.

"You're wrong. I thought of nothing, just focused on seeing and hearing something that caught my attention."

The Mad Beggar Boy raised next to his brows, he was astonished to hear the reply from this good friend of his Lan'Er Gege.

"What do you see? I didn't hear anything either."

"Eat him put your ears well. Aren't you an expert in internal energy? Where's your talent?"

The Mad Beggar Boy slapped Xiao Shuxiang's arm and cursed the young man for daring to taunt him. He was indeed an expert in inner strength, but that didn't mean he could use his talent for a full 24 hours, it was just a drain on energy.

"Brother Xiao..!" Jing Mi called Xiao Shuxiang, ".. There's still a lot of work to be done. If you stay there, the repair of this sect will be even longer."

"Shuxiang," Lan Guan Zhi also came calling and this made Xiao Shuxiang immediately jump down.

Previously, he and his friends had already arranged a plan to help with the refinement of the Sky Pagoda Sect as well as enjoy this sunny day together.

Xiao Shuxiang was unwilling to think about the Blood Scarlet or whatever the group was doing. She was more concerned on the quiet day leading up to her marriage to Ling Qing Zhu.

Elsewhere, Ling Qing Zhu was seen in the kitchen of his sect. He was with the female disciples and some of the best cooks in his family.

They prepared various dishes for the workers and disciples who took part in the refinement in the Sky Pagoda Sect.

"Miss, let me. You don't need to work too much" a female servant looked worried when she saw Ling Qing Zhu putting a fish in the cauldron, she was afraid that her Miss's hand would get hurt.

"My son, you don't have to do this. Let us alone.." The other female servant was seen persuading Ling Qing Zhu. If this girl was to get hurt, then head alone was not enough to ease the Grand Elder's anger.

Ling Qing Zhu was a swordsman, naturally the injuries from swinging a sword and the wounds from cooking were different things. Worse, the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect would be even more wrathful when he knew his daughter was injured from cooking.

"Miss..!!" the worried cries of the five maids always accompanied Ling Qing Zhu as he chopped up cooking ingredients like carrots and radishes.

"I'm fine. Continue your work,"

"Miss, we're afraid you're hurt. Please stop now.."

"Miss Ling, it is our duty to prepare food for the workers and this is not an obligation for you.."

"Miss, you better go get ready and meet Young Master Xiao. Aren't you marrying her soon? He must be looking for you right now.."

The other maidservants nodded in agreement as Xiao Shuxiang's name was revealed in terms of stopping Ling Qing Zhu from chopping vegetables.

They all persuaded this white-haired, thin-veiled girl to leave the kitchen immediately. If Ling Chu Zhen were to find out his daughter had come here, then their lives were all in danger.

"Miss.. It is not good for a bride to set foot in the kitchen. I heard your wedding will be on the second full moon night soon, so-!!"

!!

"Miss Ling..!"

The maids immediately made a fuss as Ling Qing Zhu's finger was accidentally hit by a knife. They all panicked and ran to and fro looking for something that could treat Ling Qing Zhu's wounds.

Ling Qing Zhu had just found out about the news of her marriage to Xiao Shuxiang, in not expecting that the time had been set.

?!

He gasped when he felt the touch of one of the servants who was apparently treating the wound on his finger. The waiter looked pale with a clear sense of worry, some of the servant's friends also had the same facial expression.

"I'm fine. It's just a small wound,"

"Don't say that, Miss. You don't know how scared we are if until Young Master Ling finds out you were injured due to our negligence,"

"It's not your fault, I-I"

"White Cat..!"

?!

Ling Qing Zhu spontaneously turned his head when he heard a quite familiar voice in his ears. Who else would dare to give him such a nickname if not Xiao Shuxiang.

He snorted softly as he looked at the young man who had just been in his mind. Xiao Shuxiang was walking towards him with a smile that was so charming, it almost made him want to plunge the young man's face into the lake.

"White Cat, I've been looking for you. Did you hear the latest news today?"

Ling Qing Zhu blinked, he muttered briefly in response to Xiao Shuxiang's question. The wound on his finger had healed because he was secretly using Qi.

Xiao Shuxiang himself was astonished because his White Cat was mobbed by several servants. With his friendly face and friendly smile, he greeted the servants and asked what was going on here.

The servants were awkward and nervously stepped back away from Xiao Shuxiang and Ling Qing Zhu. They don't want to disturb those two people.

"Seeing from their behavior, I think you're talking about the news I'm about to tell you.." Xiao Shuxiang said as his hand grabbed a carrot and then ate it.

"Not really." Ling Qing Zhu snatched the carrot that had just been bitten twice by his Guardian, he then chopped the carrot very diligently.

".. If you just come and be a bully in this place, you better go." Ling Qing Zhu spoke again.

Xiao Shuxiang recaptured his carrot, "You're so sniffy.. Don't you miss me? You didn't even come to see me and ask me how I was, what kind of wife-to-be are you..?"

Ling Qing Zhu's ears had just heard the most annoying curse from his Guardian Guard, yet still his eyes still contained calmness.

He turned his head and looked at Xiao Shuxiang who was putting on a sullen expression. His Guardian ate a carrot with the behavior of a sulking person.

"Don't I deliver clothes for you? You looked okay back then,"

"But it's different now. What kind of girl are you? You're acting like you don't really like me,"

"..."

Ling Qing Zhu did not answer the Guardian's question and focused more on chopping vegetables. He had been bullied several times by this handsome, charming young man.

"White Cat.. If you continue to behave like this, then there is no progress in our relationship. I'm trying to spare a little bit of my precious time for you, Lan Zhi and the others must be waiting for me right now,"

"Go, they're your friends,"

"Hey, Miss. Lan Zhi, Brother Jing, and the others are also your friends. I'm here to take you to meet them, we have a lot to discuss and I think you know what that topic is,"

"Mn, don't you like the date setting?"

Xiao Shuxiang blinked a few times upon hearing Ling Qing Zhu's question just now. The look on his face changed slightly and this time, he looked serious.

"It's not. Just.. My family members and your family have to try harder than usual if they want this marriage to be quickened,"

Xiao Shuxiang took the new carrot and then ate it. He could imagine how busy they were preparing for this wedding.

"White cat, stop doing that and let's go. The others had been waiting for a long time," Xiao Shuxiang snatched the knife in Ling Qing Zhu's hand and pulled the girl to come with him.

!?

"I can walk alone.." Ling Qing Zhu asked for the grip on his hand to be released, he was not a child to be led to walk.

"Your path is slow, so there's no need to protest. Besides, you should be happy because your hands are held by a handsome and charming young man like me. There was nothing as ordinary as Xiao Shuxiang in any place,"

"Hmphs. Embarrassment."

"It's a shame but you still don't refuse," Xiao Shuxiang smiled seductively, she immediately laughed lightly upon seeing Ling Qing Zhu's facial expression which to her was very funny.

"Not shameless." Ling Qing Zhu looked at his Guardian Protector with reddened eyes in anger and shame from being teased.

This was what he did not like, Xiao Shuxiang became an annoying youth when he had recovered. Though before, this Guardian of his was still lying weakly on the bed.

Lan Guan Zhi, the Mad Beggar Boy, and the others had apparently been waiting for the two. They've planned a lot of activities together today. Of course, a walk in Big Dipper City did not escape the activities of Xiao Shuxiang and his friends today.

None of them remembered much less until it was overshadowed by the assault made by the members of the Blood Scarlet. And Xiao Shuxiang also did not discuss the incident that befell Lan Guan Zhi today.

The Alchemist Chef indeed felt his good friend was a bit different. He felt a strange familiarity towards Lan Guan Zhi, as if the young man with the forehead ribbon was a friend he hadn't seen in a long time.

Xiao Shuxiang did not know that the aura that came out from the authority of Lan Guan Zhi was the natural aura of his new body. It was a portion of the power of the three Heavenly Heirloom Spirits and was a bit of energy from Alchemist Zhou Yuan.

That was why, there was a foreign feeling, full of familiarity, and longing mixed in Xiao Shuxiang's heart while with his good friend. This was the first time he had awkwardly walked near Lan Guan Zhi even though he was accompanied by his other friends.

This kind of feeling was not felt by Jing Mi, the Mad Beggar Boy, Hai Feng, Hou Yong, nor Yi Wen. Not so with Ling Qing Zhu.

The white-haired girl knew there was something different from Young Master Lan's figure, but for now she didn't want to say much. His focus was now on his hand which had been continuously held by his Guardian Guard.
