XIAO SHUXIANG'S

455 - First Line II [Revised]

The Mad Beggar Boy noticed how Jing Mi, Yi Wen, and the others were walking after Ling Lang Tian. The look on his friends' faces showed a deep sense of objection.

They were unwilling to follow Ling Lang Tian because it must be related to the furore they caused last night. Arguably, Jing Mi and the others went to get their punishment.

"Why did Hu Li and the two cats also leave?" The Mad Beggar Boy looked at Xiao Shuxiang, he said that Hu Li was not involved in the overnight riot and that the young man should not be punished.

"They can't possibly punish the uninvolved. I think Grandfather called Hu Li to ask for his help on something. You alone, why not follow them?"

"I don't like being among those iceberg-faced people. Especially if I have to hear the words of the old wolf and his daughter-in-law, they make my ears hurt.."

The Mad Beggar Boy rubbed his arms, he shivered in horror and then walked into Xiao Shuxiang's room. The person he called 'the old wolf' was none other than Ling Shen Yue.

Xiao Shuxiang who knew it smiled. It turned out that there was a person like him who did not like that Old Grandma. He caught up with the Mad Beggar Boy and closed the door to his room again.

When it came to attention, the nature of Xiao Shuxiang and the Mad Beggar Boy were a little similar. They both do not like to be among people who are rigid, disciplined about the rules, let alone always serious at all times.

Xiao Shuxiang and the Mad Beggar Boy were excited youths, doing mischief just for their pleasure, even if it made others have a strange look.

The two continued the game and as if did not worry about the state of Jing Mi, Yi Wen, and the others. They just stopped at sunset.

The second night in the Sky Pagoda Sect, Xiao Shuxiang again had to put on heavy clothes and sit in the undercoat with his White Cat. This time, his clothes were white with the embroidery of a Phoenix bird.

Only the groom whose face is no longer covered in cloth. Xiao Shuxiang could even talk to the invited guests.

Some swordsman invited him to a toast, Xiao Shuxiang clearly accepted it with great pleasure today. He also answered a question from one of the warriors who was curious about him.

Crazy Beggar Boy looks like normal, he is sitting on one of the tree branches and watching the course of the event tonight.

He did not see Siu Yixin, only Nie Shang and Mo Huai. The two young men sat down and were seen conversing with one of the famous merchants in the Middle Sky Empire.

Unlike the night before, tonight the event is fairly smooth and full of service. Especially after a while, the invited guests were invited to enter the second banquet room.

There was a moment where the Mad Beggar Boy snorted and was like laughing at Xiao Shuxiang. It was the moment where a swordsman used the typical language of the Middle Continent to talk to his Lan'Er Gege good friend.

Xiao Shuxiang himself momentarily froze, he did not understand the language of the citizens of the Middle Continent at all. What he always feels when spoken to in a foreign language is that he must be being teased.

The Mad Beggar Boy was currently on one of the roofs of the Sky Pagoda Sect buildings. He peeked at the banquet and was always interested in Xiao Shuxiang's face that easily changed depending on his mood.

[".. It's a fortune and a pride for me. I have long wanted to meet a hero from the Eastern Continent, and now my wish has been granted the heavens.."]

["Young Master Xiao, I am also very lucky. All this time, on every cruise I've made, and the harbor I've stayed at, must have always confused your name.."]

["Young Master Xiao.."]

The Mad Beggar Boy exhaled while shaking his head. Quite a number of alternating sounds he heard and it clearly felt like they were trying to attract Xiao Shuxiang's attention.

"Some of the invited guests present were those I saw last night. Some of the old man used the language of the Middle Continent to test his abilities, they looked for the young man's flaws and seemed to have found them,"

The Mad Beggar Boy was too focused on peeping until he did not realize that someone was now peeping with him.

"My Xiao Brother is indeed not good at foreign languages and he is terrible at learning. If no one helped him, he would definitely get into trouble,"

?!

The Mad Beggar Boy blinked, the feminine voice he had just become familiar with. He turned his head and froze instantly as his nose hit something soft.

!!

The Mad Beggar Boy's body responded faster than the contents of his head. He stood up and moved backwards in a hurry even to the point of falling off the roof. The figure who was beside him was even shocked because of this action.

?!

The sound of the Mad Beggar Boy falling was heard by the people in the room, including Xiao Shuxiang. But since Ling Lang Tian said it was only a sect security guard, they no longer cared about it either.

On the other hand, the Mad Beggar Boy whimpered and rubbed his back and butt. His face looks bad. Especially when the Mad Beggar Boy remembered what had just happened, his heart was racing.

"You're okay, right?"

The legs of the figure retraced gracefully, she wore a white uniform with a butterfly embroidery pattern.

Her shirt cut makes the shoulder part of the figure look, she has a good body shape, let alone the skirt expands it makes anyone's libido increase.

The Mad Beggar Boy happened to have not yet woken up from his fallen position, and the white-clothed figure instead stood so close to him that he looked up - he was close to seeing the 'Miracle of the Universe'.

!!

The white-clothed figure spontaneously turned a deaf ear when it heard the extremely unexpected scream of the Crazy Beggar Boy. The young man rushed to run no matter if he carried his cane or not, even his shoe was left behind.

"Huh, the expression on his face like I'm a ghost..? Does white dress not suit me..?"

Under the moonlight, Yi Wen looked admirable. She even arranged the white flowers in such a way as to be made into hair ornaments and had dressed up as best she could to look like a good-natured innocent girl.

Yet it seemed, this grooming was still not enough to lure the Mad Beggar Boy. And in fact, the young man ran away in tears like he had just seen a terrible apparition.

"There's something wrong with that guy's head.." Yi Wen rubbed his cheek gently, he blinked and started picking up the shoes and sticks of the Mad Beggar Boy.

On the other hand, the owner of the bamboo stick that Yi Wen carried involuntarily ran towards the artificial wisteria forest. His breathing was breathless and he just stopped running when he felt not strong anymore.

The Crazy Beggar's right hand touched one of the tree trunks and slightly pressed down on it. While the other hand rubbed his lips violently.

"Yi fucking Wen! Why did he have to be that close?!" Crazy Beggar Boy spat, he chills when he remembers the incident just now. In addition to her nose and lips, her eyes were also contaminated by something she should not have seen.

"That girl is so embarrassing, why would she have to wear such strange clothes?! If you do not want to cover your body, then just open everything! Goddamnit,"

"Who are you nagging?"

The Crazy Beggar boy heard a voice that seemed to come from above his head. Like most humans, she spontaneously looked up and immediately fell down when she saw the impolite fluffy skirt.

"Yes..!!"

The Crazy Beggar Boy shouted as Yi Wen jumped down. The beautiful girl actually often wears clothes with a short skirt, but always wears tight trousers. His clear appearance was different from his other fellow students.

It's just, for the first time, Yi's feet

Wen was not covered in cloth. The Crazy Beggar Boy could even now see that flawless jade thigh.

"So far..! Stay away from me..!!"

!?

Yi Wen blinked, not expecting the Mad Beggar Boy to overreact when he saw it.

"Ehm.. I just want to give it back.. Sticks and next to your shoes," Yi Wen smiled bitterly. If until this young man was traumatized by it, then his chance to get closer would no longer exist.

"You-you.. Throw it over there..! Quickly throw it there..!"

"Oh, okay." Yi Wen threw the shoes and bamboo sticks belonging to the Crazy Beggar Boy according to the place the young man pointed to. He did not try to get close and preferred to pay attention to how the handsome young man was so afraid of him.

Yi Wen felt bad. If other youths were to see it, they would not be able to take their eyes off and would have already 'stiffened' by now.

But this Crazy Beggar Boy..

Never mind blushing or nosebleed, he even looks like he has just been attacked by a stray dog. Yi Wen even pegged when he knew the young man before him was even slightly sobbing.

"Anu.."

!!

Yi Wen stood motionless, he saw how the Mad Beggar Boy was fumbling his shoes and staff while giving him a look full of fear.

"Why should your reaction be so exaggerated..? You look like a victim of abuse, I'll do nothing.."

"Stop talking and don't try to get close to me..! You're a terrible girl, stay away..!"

Crazy Beggar Boy regains his wand. He stood up and pointed at the weapon as if hinting that the girl in front of him should not step beyond the limit.

Yi Wen snorted before finally shaking slowly. "Does being close to a girl really scare you, Mad Beggar Boy? You're a very perverted young man."

"If so, then why?! If you're disgusted with me, then go! Getaway! I don't want to be approached by you or any girl. You are terrible creatures!"

Crazy Beggar Boy gasping. There was fear and hatred in his eyes. Yi Wen who saw that was shocked, especially when he found out that the young man in front of him was trying to refrain from crying loudly.

"I.. I'm sorry to scare you.." Yi Wen's voice raucous, the next second he cried before the Crazy Beggar Boy.

!!

"Why Are You Crying?!"

"You look so hate me..! Though I just want to be close and be friends with you, am I that bad?!" Yi Wen rubbed his eyes.

This was the first time she had cried so hard. It was now the turn of the Mad Beggar Boy who was sculpting, surprised, and feeling uneasy.

"You're a handsome young man. A man. I just wanted to help you become a normal young man, but you gave me a look like I was a stray dog. You're so outrageous..!"

Yi Wen's eyes were puffy, this was the first time she had cried in front of a male, or perhaps.. This was the first of his life.

Crazy Beggar Boy, "I don't need help. I like the me now. You shouldn't have done this. Don't cry, the oppressed me here knows..!"

"You were the first to cry. So how could I not cry? Aahs.. Goddamnit! My tears can't stop coming out,"

"I'm not crying," the Mad Beggar Boy sobbed, ".. My eyes are just a little watery.."

I don't know what happened, but Yi Wen and the Crazy Beggar Boy both cried for a long time.

"You're ugly when you cry," the Mad Beggar Boy just noticed the face of the girl before him, he slightly smiled as he looked at Yi Wen's watery nose.

Yi Wen sobbed, "Stupid. Do you think there's a girl who looks pretty when crying? You're on your own, too.. Shit, why do you look so handsome?"

The Crazy Beggar Boy laughed, yet his eyes still let out water. Some wisteria flowers fell and hit her face.

He looks funny when flowers come into his mouth. This time it was her substitution that made Yi Wen laugh.

"You're stupid. Let's stop crying, we're like kids.." Yi Wen smiled and wiped her tears. She said she didn't like to cry, it made her makeup fade.

"I cried because of you, you did it.." The Crazy Beggar Boy grumbled.

Usually when a girl cries in front of a man, surely others will think of the girl as a victim. But under these circumstances, the real victim was the Crazy Beggar Boy. So of course he's not to blame.

"Yes, that's right. I'm sorry, now stop crying.."

"You go first,"

"Crazy Beggar, I can only stop when you're done first,"

"But I can't do it,"

"Then do it together,"

"alright.. But count to three.."

Yi Wen nodded slowly. He and the Beggar Boy agreed they would stop crying on the count of three.

Their behavior is clearly childish, although in this case it makes the relationship of the two become a little more familiar.

The second night of the wedding, Xiao Shuxiang slept with his friends. Jing Mi and Hou Yong complained about the punishment they received.

They were not flogged, nor told to copy a book while handstand. Only, their punishment was much heavier.

Jing Mi, Hou Yong, Yi Wen, and Hai Feng were sentenced to sit down while reading the terrifying number of Heaven Pagoda Sect Rules.

At first they tried to negotiate. Jing Mi and her friends asked for a whip or job-related punishment that required heavy labor. But still Yang Shu did not grant the request of his students.

For Yang Shu, the most appropriate punishment for his mischievous disciples was to have them sit down and give the most disliked tasks. And indeed the average second-generation disciple of the Butterfly Sect, no one was at home sitting for long while reading the writings of kindness.

Jing Mi held onto her stomach while recalling the punishment she was serving. He had to go out of the room several times to vomit.

The same thing happened to Hou Yong. His face looked pale and his head felt pulsating. Even if there was good food in front of him, he would prefer not to touch it.

Xiao Shuxiang who heard and witnessed the behavior of his friends also paled. If it was him, he sure wouldn't hold it even for two minutes.

Honestly speaking, Xiao Shuxiang and his friends had a nature that could not keep quiet. They actually love to read, but there are not many books that interest them. Books on 'Desplinance' or 'Authentic Art' are clearly blacklisted.

Therefore, punishment that looks light and trivial to people is the most severe punishment for them. In fact, cutting one hand is still much better.

Siu Yixin herself was only invited to chat with Yang Shu and Ling Lang Tian. He got no punishment. Though all the chaos that existed some time ago is the cause of his single concert.

This talk was actually secret, and was included in the gathering of information about the Scarlet Shadow that was now better known as the Scarlet Blood.

As a former Pillar, Siu Yixin knew a lot of information about how the members of the Scarlet Shadow moved, what they were after, and how their kind of strength, including who was the chairman.

Ling Lang Tian was puzzled as Siu Yixin said that none of the pillars knew how the Scarlet Blood chief's true face was, but they were definitely experts at manipulating.

Ling Lang Tian could not move now. He had to think about it carefully and prepare everything carefully. One of the information that Siu Yixin passed on to him was, that the Scarlet Shadow had only one goal-Making a continent chaotic.

What this Siu Yixin said had a point, and Ling Lang Tian had already seen such chaos in the Eastern Continent. The same is likely to happen in the Middle Continent, soon.

Ling Qing Zhu, the younger brother of Ling Lang Tian and the daughter of the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect, was visibly preoccupied with the many matters related to his marriage. He didn't even have time to practice swords or play with the 'Fairy', the feathered creature from the Elf World that Xiao Shuxiang had given him.

After three nights the wedding was held at his residence. Now Ling Qing Zhu together with his Guardian Guard was brought to the Northern Continent. They used a Moving Mirror.

On the other hand, Gong Zitao could only hold back as the bodies of the two brides began to be covered by the backs of the Ling family members who also entered the Moving Mirror.

Gong Zitao who was an outer disciple of the Sky Pagoda Sect clearly did not have the right to join the Northern Continent. That was why he was furious and went to look for Qian Kun in the Skull Sword Party.

Instead of immediately making a move, Qian Kun instead asked Gong Zitao for the Soul Freezing Sword and intended to increase the power of the sword.

Qian Kun had actually been waiting for Xiao Shuxiang and Ling Lang Tian to leave the Middle Continent. He was wary of the two young men.

On the other hand, he was also quite happy because the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect and some of the core members of the 'Ling' family, had also come to the Northern Continent.

The Six Shadow Warriors themselves were already impatient to make a move. They had already marked the places that would become the center of chaos, and the targets were the two imperial regions in the Central Continent.
