XIAO SHUXIANG'S

424 - Yi Wen IV

The intense improvements were made in the Sky Pagoda Sect, not a few people were busy taking care of everything needed ahead of the marriage of Xiao Shuxiang and Ling Qing Zhu.

The news of the Alchemist Chef getting married had also been spread almost all over the place in the Eastern Continent. Ro Wei and Bao Yu who are in the Butterfly Sect for example, the two brothers of Xiao Shuxiang seem to be eager to prepare all the needs needed in the wedding later.

Elsewhere, Zhou Yan had indeed long heard the wind news that Xiao Shuxiang was about to marry Ling Qing Zhu, indeed, but he did not believe it because the bad boy was not seen as typical of people who want to tie a relationship like marriage.

It was only after Yang Hao came to him himself that he could believe that the story was true. Of course this is very surprising.

".. I actually disagree that Xiao'Er is married to a girl in the Other Continent. The girls on this continent are no less beautiful either, but well.. He has the right to decide his own life,"

Zhou Yan placed a cup made of white jade right before Yang Hao, he was seen still wearing his thick veil.

"His mother and I don't believe it either. During this time Xiao'Er was never seen to have a special relationship with a girl, even if she was seen with Wen'Er-they were both just like ordinary brothers.."

Yang Hao drank the green tea Zhou Yan served and then continued his words. He said that compared to a girl his sons were much closer to Lan Guan Zhi.

Zhou Yan had just wanted to drink tea in his jade cup, but he stopped when he heard Xiao Shuxiang's father's words just now. He then looked into the eyes of this stern-faced man and then exhaled softly.

Had he not known that Xiao Shuxiang was the reincarnation of the Destroying Star, it was likely that Zhou Yan would have been confused about the nature of the boy who was not the same as the man before him.

Zhou Yan snorted softly, he smiled faintly behind his thick veil, "I have also never seen him spend a lot of time with a girl except with his own fellow students. And for as long as I'm concerned, he's always making things difficult for Ling Qing Zhu.."

Xiao Shuxiang is indeed amazing. With his talent that could bring up the Moving Mirror, Yang Hao could easily go from the Middle Continent to the Eastern Continent in just one step.

He can even maintain his Moving Mirror to not quickly disappear while he is enjoying quiet time with his friends.

The way that Xiao Shuxiang had brought up the Moving Mirror was very simple, he simply gave Hu Li some paper and asked the friend to go solve the problem his family had with Ling Qing Zhu family.

In the Northern Continent itself, the Snow White Emperor had finished spreading the wedding invitation to his entire people.

Happiness was indeed seen on the face of the Emperor, Yang Chai Jidan, the father of Yang Shu.

Recently, one of her great-grandsons gave birth to a prince, then happiness increased with the arrival of two sons she had long missed - and now, the granddaughter of her son was about to get married.

["... 私の人生で今日ほど良い日はありませんでした...コウスケ。"]

["... Watashinojinsei de kyo hodo yoi hi wa arimasendeshita... Ksuke."]

".. There has never been a better day in my life than today ... Kosuke." - Kosuke."

Yang Chai Jidan downed a slow cup of wine previously poured by a man who was none other than his own advisor. Arak with a soft aroma and light taste is the best wine given by Zhi Shu and Hai Feng.

Kosuke, a man who looks 40 years old and is one of the confidants of Yang Chai Jidan, has a face that is firm, authoritative, but has a soft eye. He was a samurai and also one of the sword trainers of the princes.

["Xiao Shuxiang ⁇ .."]

["Xiao Shuxiang ni tsuite kiita.."]

"I heard a lot about Xiao Shuxiang.."

Kosuke again poured wine on Yang Chai Jidan's empty cup, he said if the news of the 'Xiao Shuxiang' he heard was the same person as the great-grandson of the Snow White Emperor, he said, then Yang Chai Jidan will be very lucky.

["... その青年は才能のある若い錬金術師であり、東大陸の英雄でもありました。 彼の名前は破壊の星に似ていますが、彼のヒーローのおかげで彼は新しい星になることができます...ガーディアンスター。"]

["... Sono seinen wa saino no aru wakai renkinjutsu-shideari, tokairiku no eiyu demo arimashita. Kare no namae wa hakai no hoshi ni nite imasuga, kare no hiro no okage de kare wa atarashi hoshi ni naru koto ga dekimasu... Gadiansuta."]

"... That young man was a talented young alchemist and the hero of the eastern continent. His name is similar to the Destroying Star, but thanks to his heroism he can become a new star ... The Protective Star."

Yang Chai Jidan smiled, he looked at the man in front of him and said that the young man who was being told just now was none other than his great-grandson, Xiao Shuxiang.

At first, he was indeed quite surprised and very unexpected if his great-grandson was a hero from a continent. The identity of Xiao Shuxiang who was an Alchemist alone was already very proud, especially when he received recognition from the citizens in the Eastern Continent as a hero.

["あなたが先に彼の名前を言った若い男は確かに私の曾孫です。"]

["Anata ga sakini kare no namae o itta wakai otoko wa tashika ni watashi no himagodesu."]

"The young man you mentioned his name earlier is of course my great-grandson."

Yang Chai Jidan was so proud when he said it. To him, Xiao Shuxiang was a figure that was a new hope for the people in his empire.

Yi Wen walked while occasionally stomping his feet. He crossed his arms with a face that looked bent, his cheeks bulging and his eyes looking so upset.

Jing Mi, Hou Yong, and Hai Feng exhaled softly as they shook their heads. The three noticed Yi Wen's behavior because this brother-in-law looked jealous of something.

"Haw.." The Mad Beggar Boy let out a long sigh, ".. It sucks to walk behind a couple. We're looking like mosquito repellents here, instead,"

Yi Wen heard him, she showed her grumpy look at this chatty young man walking beside her, "I'm not you. My brother is now very close to Miss Ling, how can I not be jealous."

Xiao Shuxiang turned his head back when he heard Yi Wen's words just now. He was indeed currently walking with his friends, but he was more in tandem with Ling Qing Zhu.

"Yi Wen, didn't you ever say that you let go and supported me with the White Cat? Where did that Yi Wen go?"

"Brother Xiao, you don't make fun of me. Look at you, you'll soon have a life partner, while I? I want a partner like you, too.." Yi Wen softened his lips, he then looked expectantly at Xiao Shuxiang and resumed his words.

".. Brother, can't you marry more than one girl? I'd like to be second, really!"

"Yi Wen, I told you I'm not going to marry my brother-in-law. And why do you want to be second? There are still a lot of bachelors out there, Crazy Beggar Boy is one of them."

!!

The Crazy Beggar Boy was shocked, "Hey!

Why are you involving me?! You obviously know I prefer men over women. This big-breasted girl was never even in my shadow. Just seeing it gives me goosebumps.."

Yi Wen stared dislikefully at the young man beside her, eagerly pulling hard the ears of the Mad Beggar Boy and then slashing at him. Really, this young man from toe to head looks really annoying.

"You know Mad Beggar Boy, I'd love to pry your eyes out and then make them soup. I also want to skin you alive, take out your every bone and give it to the wild animals I meet on the road..! This is proof that I really don't like seeing you,"

"Then do you think I like seeing you?"

"Hey," Jing Mi interrupted her two friends as she felt the situation between the Mad Beggar Boy and Yi Wen was starting to heat up, "We are all brothers, so don't fight. The two of you have always been like this when you meet, can't you just get along?"

Yi Wen and the Mad Beggar Boy instead replied Jing Mi compactly blaming Xiao Shuxiang. It was the young man who walked between Lan Guan Zhi and Ling Qing Zhu who started first.

".. If he hadn't gotten me involved, none of this would have happened,"

Xiao Shuxiang snorted and glimpsed back to look at the Mad Beggar Boy, "It's good, it looks like this on my face has a writing, 'target to blame'.."

"Haaahs.. When will we get to know each other if these boys keep tailing behind? Hiya.. It sucks." Xiao Shuxiang blew his front pony hair, he did not even hold hands with his White Cat because his friends were always annoying.

On the other hand, Lan Guan Zhi did not say much and preferred to carry Lan Xiao. Right now, he was focused on adjusting to his new body.

Lan Guan Zhi's stature was still the same, even his body size, height, and weight. However what was different was that he had enough difficulty sensing the Qi, absorbing it, let alone sensing every flow of his blood. His feet still seemed to float when he stepped.

Sometimes, Lan Guan Zhi had trouble hearing and sometimes heard things. However, he did not say anything about his condition to his friends including Xiao Shuxiang.

To Ling Qing Zhu, he knew something was wrong with Young Master Lan. Ever since eating together earlier, the handsome forehead-clad young man did not say much let alone pay attention as Xiao Shuxiang conversed with the Mad Beggar Boy, Yi Wen, and the others.

Whereas all this time, Lan Guan Zhi's attention had always been on his Guardian. So a little different movement from the young man, it can certainly be known by him.

Xiao Shuxiang himself was also not an insensitive person, from the very beginning he already knew there was a change in his good friend. Lan Guan Zhi was like a new, foreigner, yet somehow he seemed comfortable with this feeling.

As if, he had walked with his close friend in the past. It felt.. Zhou Yuan and Shouxing are here.

Xiao Shuxiang smiled faintly as he muttered softly, he felt really weak. His hands slowly clenched tightly even though the look of his face was still unchanged.

Being faced with regret from the past was proof of weakness and Xiao Shuxiang hated him. He is not a type of person who easily regrets, so the arrival of such feelings will be very uncomfortable to provoke emotions.

"What's wrong?"

!

The voice from Ling Qing Zhu made Xiao Shuxiang flinch. He immediately turned his head and briefly looked at the girl beside him before saying slowly that he did not like when his friends were here.

".. It's not that I hate them, but me and you should have some uninterrupted time together. I mean walking around like this should be just me and you,"

Xiao Shuxiang puffed his cheeks while exhaling, he felt that he had less sensitive friends in this kind of situation.

Originally, Xiao Shuxiang had assumed that after eating together while chatting, he and Ling Qing Zhu would be left alone. But apparently, it's not so.

Lan Guan Zhi was actually quite aware that her good friend wanted a special time with just Miss Ling. He had originally intended to leave on the grounds that there was a waiting job, but Yi Wen and the Mad Beggar Boy urged him to stay.

Finally, here he is. Stuck with people who are less sensitive to the wishes of Xiao Shuxiang, even though the look of the face shown by his good friend is easy to read.

Just as Lan Guan Zhi was about to speak, a cry came from one of the disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect who called out to Ling Qing Zhu. The 15-year-old male disciple was looking for Miss Ling on the basis of orders from Ling Chu Zhen.

Yi Wen and his friends clearly felt astonished, they simultaneously turned towards Ling Qing Zhu and as if waiting for a reply from the girl.

"Miss Ling, you're not leaving, are you? We have to go to the Thousand Year Inn," Yi Wen had already arranged all the schedules she would do with her friends today.

The schedule has been neatly arranged from sunrise to midnight. He was certainly assisted by Jing Mi, Zhi Shu, and Hou Yong. They were all eagerly arranging a plan to spend a lot of time with Xiao Shuxiang before their fellow disciple was fully possessed by Miss Ling.

"It looks like the plan to the inn we're going to do next time.." Xiao Shuxiang spread out his hands and said he needed a break now.

Although it looked fine, Xiao Shuxiang had actually lost quite a lot of strength. Currently two large Transferring Cemins are being used and need high concentration to maintain it.

"Lan Xiao also looked very sleepy, he was helping a lot of workers all day.." Jing Mi could see the Moon Tiger beside Lan Guan Zhi trying to stay awake, her drowsiness-fighting manner was adorable.

Yi Wen finally gave up, he had indeed gone too far if he arranged a lot of schedules with his friends without any breaks. He forgets that his friends have their own busy lives.

"All right then.. We'll go to Nie Shang's next time. Young Master Lan, you should also go and rest. I've been watching you look less healthy."

Yi Wen actually slightly objected, but in any case he could not impose his will on his friends. After all, if you think about it - he just remembered already having another activity schedule today.

"Qian Kun hasn't made a move lately, and it's impossible that news of my brother's marriage hasn't been heard. I'm sure that person must have planned something that I certainly wouldn't let,"

Yi Wen regained his senses when Ling Qing Zhu said goodbye to leave. Hou Yong, Jing Mi, and Hai Feng were also demikan. Lan Guan Zhi himself intended to return to his room followed by the Crazy Beggar Boy.

"Yi Wen, I'll rest in my room. How are you?" Xiao Shuxiang asked as he saw his good friend had already walked a long way.

"I.. The plan is to see Brother Lu,"

"Mm, really? Too bad, when I want to soak today.."

!!

Yi Wen blinked, "Brother Xiao? You want me to rub your back?"

"Mn? You turned out to be very sensitive. Come follow me."

!!

Yi Wen would not have believed it had he not heard it. He exclaimed in excitement and excitedly followed Xiao Shuxiang from behind.

"I haven't rubbed your back in a long time, it's been really thrilling!" Yi Wen grabbed Xiao Shuxiang's arm and held her tightly.

"Brother Xiao, I can also do something else besides rubbing your back~ You know, I'm an expert in massage,"

"no need. I just need one of your skills. Besides, there'll be a White Cat massaging me.."

"Mh.. Are you sure you're going to marry him? You don't look like someone who's in love with Miss Ling.." Yi Wen did not see any such taste in the eyes of this young man he embraced.

".. You know, Brother Xiao. Only those who love each other can marry. Such a sacred relationship is impossible to live without love, two hearts can hurt each other.."

Xiao Shuxiang snorted with a faint smile, "I can stop this marriage if you want, Yi Wen. You think the rules of the Sky Pagoda Sect will be obeyed just like that? That's obviously impossible. It's just, I really want to get married."

"Brother Xiao, then what about Miss Ling? He doesn't look like you,"

"I think he likes me,"

"No way,"

"Don't believe me already, but I'm sure White Cat likes me,"

"That's impossible Brother Xiao!"
