XIAO SHUXIANG'S

EXTRA PART (Part 5) - Disclosure

In the Middle Continent, when returning the injured citizens and removing the citizens who were in the Semesta Bracelet-now Xiao Shuxiang again had to face with the members of the 'Ling' family'.

He was in the outer courtyard of the Sky Pagoda Sect, beside him stood Hu Li and there was Lan Guan Zhi as well as the Crazy Beggar Boy behind him.

"Why are you coming again? Don't you know how annoying your face is?" Ling Shen Yue was actually already very tired by now, and he instead had to look at this sickening young man, let alone Ling Qing Zhu still protecting the young man.

"You don't do that, Shen Yu'Er.." The Crazy Beggar Boy raised his voice despite both his hands holding onto Lan Guan Zhi's shoulders and appeared to be hiding behind the forehead-clad young man's body.

?!

Ling Shen Yue frowned, his face and eyes were so cold. He seemed to want to know who very boldly mentioned his name so familiar.

The Mad Beggar Boy peeked back from behind Lan Guan Zhi's back, he this time made a somewhat nervous voice. ".. In any case Shuxiang has helped you from the great calamity. You shouldn't treat him as a criminal,"

"Exit you. Don't hide like that." Ling Shen Yue ruled, he made Hu Li move and pulled out the Mad Beggar Boy.

!!

Ling Shen Yue needed a little time to recognize the man holding the bamboo stick, he let out a slow snort when he found out that the man was well-known to him.

"Hmph, apparently a man who is equally humiliating. Didn't I stop you from setting foot in this sect, Mad Beggar Boy? How dare you ignore my ban,"

"Mother.." Ling Chu Zhen prevented it, ".. Never mind. Hold yourself down and let the matter be resolved,"

"I'm sick of seeing the faces of these two people. They are despicable, shameless, bring a lot of trouble, and a bad influence. What else can be resolved? If not killed, then drive them out and tell them to no longer set foot on this land."

!!

The Mad Beggar Boy was shocked, his intention to help Xiao Shuxiang-but instead he was also struck. He glanced at his good friend Lan'Er Gege who was still standing without saying anything.

"Young Master Xiao.." Hu Li half whispered, he who heard it alone was offended by Ling Shen Yue's words, let alone his Young Master.

"Master, we better go. I'll stay by your side forever,"

"Mm, it's not Hu Li's problem. You don't worry about me," Xiao Shuxiang gently rubbed the head of the white-haired young man beside him, he then turned his head towards Ling Shen Yue before exhaling.

"You've got a bad reception, Beautiful Grandma. What was this like a thank you from one of the Named Sects in the Middle Sky Empire? Hmph, very disappointing."

!!

"You..! How dare-"

"I've listened enough to you talk and given you a once in your life chance to insult this Xiao Shuxiang. Don't break your boundaries."

Xiao Shuxiang's voice was calm and the look in his eyes also looked ordinary, but what he said meant that, 'Don't let you make Xiao Shuxiang your enemy'. This is clearly a warning.

"Grandmother, please don't corner my Guardian Guard like this. He was different, but never hurt anyone." Ling Qing Zhu was also already unwilling to hear Xiao Shuxiang continue to be reviled. Anyway, he has to tell the truth.

Ling Shen Yue did not like Xiao Shuxiang because he considered all the problems that befell his sect to be the work of the young man. And this all started when a group of people attacked the Sky Pagoda Sect inside its own protective seal.

Ling Qing Zhu began to explain that there was actually one disciple of the Heaven Pagoda Sect who had betrayed. And her Grandmother should have known better what the matter was between them and the Skull Sword Party, even before Xiao Shuxiang was present.

".. The party is always looking for an opportunity to attack us. And the presence of the Blood Scarlet was like a solution for them. My brother also realized this."

Ling Lang Tian nodded, he added his sister's words. It was not good to bestow this all on Xiao Shuxiang assuming that it was the young man who caused this problem - in the end, it was indeed the Alchemist Chef who was being dragged to be the target of hatred.

"For so long there has never been a traitor in the Sky Pagoda Sect. If you think so, then who is the traitor?" Ling Shen Yue spoke firmly and the answer to this question was still sought by Ling Lang Tian, Ling Chu Zhen, and Ling Dong Hun.

Wang Rui Chan, "In the end no one knows. It was because indeed among the disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect no one had ever betrayed. The only ones who can answer all this are the friends of this young man."

!!

Xiao Shuxiang flinched, Wang Rui Chang pointed at himself again. He rubbed his chin and thought about the first attack that really damaged the Sky Pagoda Sect.

"If it is because the presence of my friends in your sect is the cause of the attack, then it is likely true. There's a traitor among my friends,"

!!

The Mad Beggar Boy gasped as Xiao Shuxiang turned to him. "Why are you staring at me? Are we friends?"

"Hmph, you're the biggest target to suspect. This beautiful Grandma doesn't like you, and from our first meeting-I didn't like you either. You keep sticking to my best friend like glue, you're obviously suspect."

"Hey, you know.. You know who I am?" The Mad Beggar Boy clenched his teeth as he spoke, he warned Xiao Shuxiang against making him look guilty.

Ling Qing Zhu himself seemed to be clenching his hands. He began to look at Ling Shen Yue and confidently called out the name 'Gong Zitao'.

!!

Ling Shen Yue and whoever heard Ling Qing Zhu's words just now were extremely shocked. They knew Gong Zitao, the young man was one of the best disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect.

"Qing Zhu'Er, are you sure of what you said?" Ling Chu Zhen asked, "You'd better not drag anyone else to protect your husband,"

"Chairman, Qing Zhu'Er would never give baseless accusations to any random person. Let's listen to the explanation," Ling Dong Hun asked Ling Qing Zhu to speak.

The white-haired and thin-veiled girl clenched tightly her hands, she circulated a glance to everyone and was like a bit dumb to explain.

"Zitao Gong.. It's all because of my fault.."

!!

Xiao Shuxiang's eyes widened, he heard the voice of his White Cat trembling somewhat and this made him understand why Ling Qing Zhu was having trouble explaining.

When it comes to Gong Zitao, then the girl should also be prepared to tell him everything the young man did to her - including with the abuse he received.

Xiao Shuxiang walked over, he grabbed Ling Qing Zhu's hand and made the girl surprised. He shook his head as a sign that his White Cat did not need to explain anything.

"…"

Lan Guan Zhi saw his good friend embrace Ling Qing Zhu as if he was protecting her. He stepped up and began to salute, he spoke in a very polite tone.

"Elder Ling Chu Zhen, it's good that you bring Young Master Gong here to prove Miss Ling's accusation to her true or not. Miss Ling's silence was obvious because there was something she wasn't worthy of saying before everyone."

"Find Gong Zitao and bring him here." Ling Chu Zhen ordered some of his disciples, he then still looked at his daughter who was in the embrace of Xiao Shuxiang.

"…"

Ling Lang Tian himself had no idea what his younger brother was actually going through. But suddenly his eyes widened when he realized that there was water dripping on one corner of Ling Qing Zhu's eyes.

!!

He was like hearing the thunder roar inside his chest when he was sure that it was his sister's tears. Ling Lang Tian was extremely shocked, all this time he had never seen Ling Qing Zhu shed tears.

Ling Lang Tian's hand clenched, he turned around and walked away. He would look for Gong Zitao himself and ask for an explanation from the young man. Gong Zitao would admit his mistake or deny himself would obviously still give punishment for making his sister shed tears.

"…"

Xiao Shuxiang himself still embraced Ling Qing Zhu, he gently rubbed his White Cat arm and made a soft voice. She thanked him for protecting her so much.

Xiao Shuxiang could feel his White Cat body trembling slightly, he hid how annoyed he was now at Gong Zitao. How dare that young man make his White Cat like this. That guy will definitely get his payback.

!

Three Disciples Ling Chu Zhen returned. They saluted and said that Gong Zitao was not found. This shocked everyone including Xiao Shuxiang.

"The young man must have escaped, you coward." Xiao Shuxiang let out a loud voice, he turned his head towards Hu Li and only the young man-eye gesture nodded in understanding.

Hu Li immediately darted away, he carried out the task of Xiao Shuxiang to search for Gong Zitao's whereabouts. Some disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect also darted-search Gong Zitao done by sending many people.

Wang Rui Chan did not say anything when he saw his daughter with Xiao Shuxiang so close because the two people were indeed officially married. Ling Shen Yue was also so even though in his heart he still did not accept the presence of the Alchemist Chef.

"Where did Gong Zitao actually go, wasn't he seriously injured?" Ling Chu Zhen remembered that his disciple had even difficulty walking, then how could at a time like this the young man not be found at all.

Lan Guan Zhi and the Crazy Beggar Boy alone remained with Xiao Shuxiang. They did not go to look for Gong Zitao's whereabouts because they did not remember how the young man looked. Both of them were better here and protected Xiao Shuxiang from being attacked all of a sudden.

It took a long time to wait for the seekers of Gong Zitao. One after another Heaven Pagoda Sect disciples with the same news-Gong Zitao was not found.

"We've been looking for him around the sect territory, but Senior Gong remains non-existent." one of the disciples representing his friends spoke, he gasped when he got a sharp glare from Ling Shen Yue.

!!

"We'll look for him again.."

The disciples immediately left, they were frightened by Ling Shen Yue's anger. Their departure coincided with the arrival of Hu Li, Ling Lang Tian, and the other two disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect.

!!

Something was thrown by Ling Lang Tian, rolling right before everyone and only stopping when it touched Ling Jian Tou's feet.

Everyone is surprised. The thing that Ling Lang Tian threw was none other than the head of the young man they were looking for-Gong Zitao.

"One of the disciples found Gong Zitao's body, it seems that someone killed him already and it's likely that he's long dead."

!!

Ling Chu Zhen was surprised, he watched closely the face of the head that was before him. Gong Zitao's expression was like that of the person who experienced the most painful death.

Wang Rui Chan, "Now how do we get an explanation from Gong Zitao?"

Xiao Shuxiang heard it and seemed to be frowning. "Mother-in-law? Do you really not believe your own daughter's words? My White Cat said that Gong Zitao betrayed, then it must be true. You as her mother, you should know better how your daughter is."

"Hmph, I believe in Qing Zhu'Er-but not with you. You could've influenced my daughter to take your side."

"Well, you almost made me laugh. My White Cat is not an impressionable little boy. He lives in a sect with a lot of annoying rules, do you think that teaching your sect to him can be easily eliminated? Honestly, I'm really questioning your belief in your own son."

Xiao Shuxiang was actually very upset. He wanted to yell at Wang Rui Chan, scolding every member of the 'Ling' family, hitting their heads until it was realized that Gong Zitao had been tricked all along. But he still tried to hold back.

It was just that compared to everything else, Xiao Shuxiang was completely inexhaustible, thinking Gong Zitao was dead, but not in his hands. He was so upset and even his heart was pounding so hard that the young man who had kidnapped his White Cat was gone.

In Xiao Shuxiang's eyes, there was something he was trying to hide. He will never be able to calm down before his regret is treated.

"Gong Zitao wants my White Cat. He kidnapped her and took her to the Skull Sword Party. What do you think the young man can do? There is no reason for me not to destroy the party and kill its students. They start first,"

!!

Ling Qing Zhu flinched as his Guardian Patron's embrace grew tighter. He did not say anything, including refusing this young man's actions to her.

Ling Chu Zhen, "Gong Zitao said that you and he went to rescue Qing Zhu'Er in the Skull Sword Party. There you turned into a monstrous monster and ate all the disciples that attacked you, is that not true?"

Xiao Shuxiang snorted, "Hmph, it was he who kidnapped my White Cat. That person is perfectly suited to be a traitor because you trusted him so much, even beyond your trust in this girl."

"That's not true." Ling Lang Tian denied.

"That's right. The proof is that you guys are still looking for justification from Gong Zitao even after my White Cat mentioned his name with complete confidence." Xiao Shuxiang's voice contained a sense of disappointment, he looked at Ling Lang Tian.

The Mad Beggar Boy could not remain silent, he now spoke. "I was also there when Xiao Shuxiang went berserk. He didn't actually turn into a monster.."

Of course the Crazy Beggar Boy's words were only lies, but he was indeed very good at this. He said that the disciples of the Skull Sword Party were not all killed by Xiao Shuxiang, and this time it was not a lie.

".. Raka Daksa himself killed his students. He used them as sacrifices to make himself stronger. It is precisely if Xiao Shuxiang does not fight him - then I.. I'm not sure the Middle Continent still exists today."

The Mad Beggar Boy tightly hugged his bamboo staff, he looked rather scared and his behavior made Xiao Shuxiang shake inwardly. He felt that the man was indeed very good at talking and acting like a coward.

"Well, now see? The Mad Beggar Boy explained it and my White Cat was the strongest witness because she herself was experiencing the situation. And I think the reason why Gong Zitao was killed so horribly was because he was killed by his own partner or because he was also killed by the Curse Technique embedded in his body - just like the other members of the Blood Scarlet."

!!

The Mad Beggar Boy jumped when he heard Xiao Shuxiang's remark, he had a witness who could prove Gong Zitao was one of the Blood Scarlets. He then rushed over and grabbed the hand of Madam Blood Honey.

The red-clothed woman had been silent in the crowd while still holding the baby. He was shocked when he was suddenly pulled over by the Crazy Beggar Boy.

"This woman is a member of the Blood Scarlet. You're such a bitch, why haven't you tried to help since?"

"You're not asking, so what am I talking about..?"

!!

"You..!" The Mad Beggar Boy puffed his cheeks. ".. Now talk to them. Tell me the truth, don't cover anything."

"Yeah, okay. Iwill. Gong Zitao was indeed a member of the Blood Scarlet. The young man had originally teamed up with the Shadow Swordsman to kill Xiao Shuxiang - his goal was obviously to want Ling Qing Zhu. I myself don't know why I didn't die like the rest of the Blood Scarlets. Is that enough?"

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled to hear the words of the beautiful woman dressed in red. Miss Blood Honey did not die horribly most likely because the baby boy was held by the woman.

Compared to that - he was more concerned with something more important. Xiao Shuxiang then turned his head towards the Crazy Beggar Boy. He removed his embrace from Ling Qing Zhu and walked towards the young man with the bamboo stick.

!!

The Mad Beggar Boy was shocked when his ears were pulled, the folds of his knees kicked even to the point that he had to fall down kissing the ground. He tried to rebel but Xiao Shuxiang instead sat on his back.

"Thou shaw..! Shuxiang..?! What are you doing..?!"

"You Crazy Beggar Boy..! Most annoying..! You should have used that woman since..! You are so stupid..! I don't have to talk at length..! Really.."

"Thou shaw..! The pain..! You're tugging my hair.. Ahh..! You're also stupid for just realizing it.. Oh..!"

!!

Lan Guan Zhi and the others could only see the showdown of these two young men. Even though the Mad Beggar Boy asked him for help - yet Xiao Shuxiang did not want to let go of the man just like that.

The Crazy Beggar Boy continued to whimper. "Shuxiang..! You're.. You strangled me..! Don't pull my hair.. Ouch..! Lan'Er Gege, please help me..!"

"Yell as loud as you can, no one will be able to save you. You are so late..! You must have been on purpose, right?!"

"Young Master Xiao.." Hu Li looked anxious, she saw her Young Master ruffling the hair of the Mad Beggar Boy, pulling the man's ears, and strangling the back of his neck.

Ling Lang Tian shook his head slowly, for some reason these two young men reminded him of the two cats that always fight when they meet.
