XIAO SHUXIANG'S

EXTRA PART (Part 9) - Yi Wen

Xiao Shuxiang had improved. He seemed like his usual days, although to be honest his arrival to the Butterfly Sect had a certain reason and this had to do with the information the Mad Beggar Boy had given him.

Basic Youths Are Unsane! The man with the bamboo stick had only told about Yi Wen after a long time. Xiao Shuxiang really wanted to kick the butt of the Mad Beggar Boy and burn the young man alive.

"Go and bring Yi Wen here, Hu Li..!" xiao Shuxiang's voice was firm, he made the junior disciples of the Butterfly Sect who originally wanted to hug and greet his 'Great Senior'- so undo their intentions.

Xiao Shuxiang had Zhi Shu gather all the disciples of the Butterfly Sect, especially Jing Mi. They were all asked to gather in the outer courtyard of the sect where the Alchemist Chef was sitting like a referee.

Yang Hao and Xiao WeiWei were nowhere to be seen, both of them were still taking care of the citizens of Cold Cloud City and actually bringing quite a number of Butterfly Sect disciples with them.

Xiao Shuxiang waited for Hu Li's arrival while listening to Jing Mi's true testimony not wanting to bring up the matter anymore.

Honestly speaking, Jing Mi intends to settle this by herself. He wanted to seek the truth from Yi Wen without involving others including Xiao Shuxiang. This was because if his brother interfered-Xiao Shuxiang would probably do recklessly and Yi Wen would be in danger.

Jing Mi did not want that to happen, because after all - she still regarded Yi Wen as her brother.

They waited a long time until Hu Li came to bring a beautiful girl of good stature with him.

Tap

The first time he set foot, Yi Wen's eyes immediately fell on the man holding the bamboo stick.

He piled anger on his eyes as the man bravely left him in the middle of the expanse of fire rocks alone and for days.

!!

The unconscious Mad Beggar Boy immediately hid behind his Lan'Er Gege. But slowly his head appeared as well to peek at the haired girl along the neck.

"Yi Wen, who did you see?" Xiao Shuxiang asked, his facial expression serious and hence-the atmosphere became tense.

"Brother Xiao.."

"I heard from Mad Beggar Boy you teamed up with Blood Scarlet, and you even nearly killed Brother Jing. Is that true?" Xiao Shuxiang unceremoniously said it plainly, he noticed the girl before him who was clearly like an innocent figure who knew nothing.

Yi Wen inwardly exhaled, however, sooner or later this situation would definitely happen to him. He circulated his gaze and saw that none of his fellow students dared to open their voices.

"Brother Xiao.." Yi Wen had a hard time speaking if his brother gave such a piercing cold look, he even looked down at it.

"You might think every word of mine is just playful. Have I never said that this Xiao Shuxiang dislikes traitors the most?"

Xiao Shuxiang spoke in an ordinary tone, but everyone who heard him would feel that the voice contained countless sword stabs.

Lan Guan Zhi even quietly began to prepare to stop Xiao Shuxiang if his good friend darted and did terrible things to Yi Wen in front of everyone.

"Brother Xiao, this is not what you see. I did it because.. Because I have a reason."

"Enough, Yi Wen..!" Xiao Shuxiang clashed the hand of the chair he was sitting on to the ground.

!!

His actions made everyone jump. The Mad Beggar Boy even spontaneously hugged Lan Guan Zhi and Yi Wen himself touched his chest in shock.

Xiao Shuxiang stood up with a sharp eye. "Do you think hurting others is justifiable if you have an excuse, huh?!"

Yi Wen's face became pias, he gulped but tried to speak even though his tone was slightly trembling. "I.. But I just want to be like you..!"

!!

The Mad Beggar Boy, Lan Guan Zhi, and everyone were shocked to hear Yi Wen's words. They looked at the girl before turning their eyes to Xiao Shuxiang. The Alchemist Chef also seemed to be in disbelief at what he had heard.

"You said you wanted to be like me?"

"Brother Xiao, I don't regret what I did. I hurt Brother Jing because he was in the way, I did it consciously. I just want to look like you..!"

"Brother Wen!" Hai Feng exclaimed, "Are you crazy?! Your actions left many people injured, many casualties falling, chaos ensued in every city..! And you feel completely innocent?!"

"Brother Wen, don't you see the loss that many people have received for your betrayal?! Many of our brothers have also died because of your mistakes..!" Zhi Shu added, he did not understand how his brother had this kind of nature.

"The Great Senior is indeed famous for making a fuss, but the Great Senior has never made a mess of this magnitude..! Senior Wen, your actions are too excessive and it is very evil..!"

Many gave a look of disbelief to Yi Wen. Not a few of them were angry at him. They were certain, that girl would not escape the punishment that Xiao Shuxiang had given her.

"I'm just doing what I want, I don't feel guilty at all. I won't apologize, not even to Brother Jing..!" Yi Wen said it firmly.

He stirred up his fellow students and would almost be attacked if Xiao Shuxiang did not raise his hand. The Alchemist Chef smiled, but the smile was extremely frightening.

"Good enough.. You're starting to lure me, Yi Wen." Xiao Shuxiang walked up to the good-bodied girl, she made Yi Wen bow and her friends goosebumps in horror.

Lan Guan Zhi knew this situation would get worse. He was about to walk, but his body was heavy from being hugged from behind by the Crazy Beggar Boy. The man with the bamboo stick looked terrified.

!!

Yi Wen was shocked when his left shoulder was touched by Xiao Shuxiang's hand. Both of his hands were clenched and his body was really hard to move. But somehow the courage came until he still spoke.

"Brother Xiao, I have always admired you. I never betrayed. I never divulged about this sect and about you to the enemy. I just-"

"I know, you're very reliable."

!!

Zhi Shu and his fellow students including the Crazy Beggar Boy had just heard the roar of lightning. They must have misheard what Xiao Shuxiang had just said.

"Tu-Wait, 'reliable?' What did you say Brother Xiao..?!" Zhi Shu was shocked, very shocked. He thought he heard wrong, but Hai Feng also heard the same thing.

"What the hell is this, Big Senior? Senior Wen is clearly guilty, why are you saying such a thing?"

Xiao Shuxiang turned his head when he heard the voice of one of the junior disciples of the Butterfly Sect. His face was no longer as cold as before, but he still had a serious expression.

"Mn? What did I say?"

!!

Lan Guan Zhi blinked and the Crazy Beggar Boy was seen frowning. They saw many of the Butterfly Sect's junior disciples reprimanding Xiao Shuxiang and repeating the young man's remark saying that Yi Wen was very reliable.

"Senior Wen has already betrayed the Sect..! He teamed up with the Blood Scarlet to mess up..!"

"That's right! Because of Senior Wen, many people were injured..!"

"Cities are also devastated and citizens are terrified! And the Great Senior precisely said Senior Wen was reliable?!"

"WHAT CRAZY BIG SENIOR IS..?!"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang's ears were ringing, and he told his fellow students to stop talking. Their faces all looked very bad, looking so annoyed and angry at him.

"The innocent children.." Xiao Shuxiang muttered, he began to speak. "Let me tell you a few things. Firstly, even though Yi Wen did not betray the Blood-Scarlet sects would still make a fuss in the Middle Sun Empire. The presence of Yi Wen by their side was actually useful to me so that the enemy would not look for more dangerous comrades.."

Yi Wen had subconsciously looked at Xiao Shuxiang, he was stunned because without him explaining even his Brother Xiao understood why he was doing this kind of action.

"Brother Xiao.."

"Second, I happen to really like bad people. Third and most importantly, he wanted to be like Xiao Shuxiang. Likely to want to look like the 'Destroying Star'. The dream is that few people are able to make it happen.. And that's so awesome..!"

!!

Many astonished Butterfly Sect disciples, Hou Yong and the Mad Beggar Boy who were the most visible opened their mouths wide. Xiao Shuxiang was so proud when he said the word 'Overwhelming'.

It felt like they saw a teacher who was so proud to know his students had committed a great crime.

"It doesn't make sense.." Zhi Shu spoke softly before raising his voice, "Brother Xiao! Ro Wei once helped others and you punished her with a hundred lashes, but why do you even forgive Yi Wen..?!"

"Who said I forgive him?" Xiao Shuxiang looked at Zhi Shu and made the girl flinch, he walked back to his chair and sat there.

"I don't mind Yi Wen's actions cooperating with the Blood Scarlet, she dares to be honest about her actions and that's enough. I like honest criminals. But Yi Wen will still be punished because he has injured Brother Jing,"

!!

Everyone was silent a thousand languages and focused on watching Xiao Shuxiang who seemed to be closing his eyes - as if the young man was thinking about what punishment was suitable to give Yi Wen.

Xiao Shuxiang began to open his eyes, revealing an unusual highlight. "Yi Wen, death is not appropriate for you. But in exchange, you'll be made as a human stick."

?!

The Mad Beggar Boy and the many disciples of the Butterfly Sect gasped. They did not understand the purpose of the punishment Xiao Shuxiang was referring to and curiosity appeared on their faces.

"Lan'Er Gege's? Making Yi Wen the stick of that man.. How's it?" The Mad Beggar Boy no longer hugged Lan Guan Zhi, but he still made the forehead-clad young man's back as his shield.

"It was a punishment where both Miss Wen's hands and feet would be cut off. All that's left is his torso and his head."

!!

As many were silent, it was clear that Lan Guan Zhi's flat-pitched voice could be heard well. Zhi Shu, Ro Wei, and their other sisters were seen closing their mouths in shock.

Jing Mi herself spontaneously set her eyes on Yi Wen and saw that the girl was similarly shocked. The punishment that Xiao Shuxiang said was the same as not letting go of the girl for all her deeds.

The Mad Beggar Boy's face looked pale, "No.. Have hands and feet..? Doesn't that mean he can't fight anymore..?"

Xiao Shuxiang heard the Mad Beggar Boy and chimed the man with his cold voice, "That's better than crushing his dantian and making him worse than trash."

!!

Many of the Butterfly Sect disciples were sweating coldly, some began to feel their legs limp until someone had fallen.

It was not those who got punished, but it felt as if it was aimed at them. Zhi Shu himself was indeed annoyed at Yi Wen, but he was also not to the heart when his brother received such a cruel punishment.

"Hu Li, do it. Cut off his hands and feet."

!!

Hu Li was shocked because of the suddenness of her being told by Xiao Shuxiang. He somewhat hesitantly began to walk over to Yi Wen who was frozen still.

"My brother..!" Jing Mi exclaimed, "Did you mean what you said?!"

"Brother Jing, I won't joke around in this situation. And you, Hu Li..! Why just shut up? Quickly do."

!!

Yi Wen really did not feel the beating on his heart. Xiao Shuxiang's punishment was too heavy and he did not have the courage to refuse.

His right hand and right shoulder began to be held by Hu Li. The white-haired youth apologized in advance and nearly broke his hand if someone did not dart.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang flinched, the figure that held Yi Wen's hand cut off was none other than the Mad Beggar Boy. The man with the bamboo stick pushed Hu Li away from Yi Wen.

"Xiao Shuxiang's..! You're this shit?! After all, this girl is your brother? You shouldn't have punished him that much!" The Crazy Beggar boy tightly hugged his bamboo stick. He was timid, but still dared to speak so.

"I am the law in this sect. The punishment of whipping a hundred times for every drop of blood that came out of Brother Jing's body was therefore too little. This is how much I appreciate my brother, and you dare question me?"

!!

Jing Mi who heard Xiao Shuxiang speak did not know what to say. Lan Guan Zhi who also heard it just stared at his good friend without making a sound. His facial expression was calm, yet the look in his eyes was different from the usual.

The Crazy Beggar Boy himself was still trying to resuscitate Xiao Shuxiang from making this kind of mistake.

"Shuxiang, I admit Yi Wen deserves to be punished. But this girl shouldn't have lost both her arms and legs. Can't you just give him another sentence?"

"Crazy Beggar Yi Wen was tried in the Butterfly Sect. I even thought this was the lightest punishment for him. Stop interrupting and let Hu Li carry out his duty."

Hu Li walked up to the Crazy Beggar Boy and requested that the man return to Lan Guan Zhi's side. Young Master Lan himself did not say anything, so why would the Mad Beggar Boy have to object?

Actually for Lan Guan Zhi, the punishment Yi Wen received was indeed light. Outside of the girl injuring Jing Mi-Yi Wen is still the person involved in this mess.

If news of the girl teaming up with the Blood Scarlet spread in another college, then, then not only did Yi Wen accept the aftermath-but the entire Butterfly Sect disciples would be suspected of being part of the Blood Scarlet.

The truth of Xiao Shuxiang who is the reincarnation of the Destroying Star will even be revealed and this can make everything run amok. Moreover, until recently - the fear in the hearts of the townspeople and the warriors may not have faded completely.

Xiao Shuxiang, "Hu Li. Don't let me repeat my words. And you, Mad Beggar Boy..! Just stay out of there..!"

"I'm not going..!" The Mad Beggar Boy exhaled, "Let me take this girl. You don't punish him."

!!

Xiao Shuxiang gasped, including Hu Li and the disciples of the Butterfly Sect. Yi Wen himself seemed to widen his eyes, the look on his facial expression changed - and it didn't look good.

"I don't want to..!" Yi Wen refused, "I'd rather accept the punishment from Brother Xiao than have to come with you."

Something was wrong and Yi Wen knew that. This man with a bamboo stick already knew that he was one of the 'Pillars of the World'. He would be in trouble if he had to be with the Mad Beggar Boy for a long time.

"I'm trying to save you here, why did you refuse?"

"I said I don't want to..! I'd rather be nailed to a stake and burned alive than be saved by you..!"

Xiao Shuxiang frowned when he saw Yi Wen who was like very reluctant to be with the Mad Beggar Boy. He gasped as the man with the bamboo stick started to have a serious face and the look in his eyes turned cold - this was the first time he had seen such a Mad Beggar Boy express himself.

"You seem to know very well your faults are worse than bringing chaos to this place. You owe me a lot of explanation.. Miss Yi Wen."

!!

Yi Wen felt his body shiver, he lowered his head and tried to avoid the eyes of the Crazy Beggar Boy. He knew he had tried to get close to this man, but he did not expect the Crazy Beggar Boy to put on a serious face that made his guts shrink.

Xiao Shuxiang looked at him, "You seem to be more afraid of the Mad Beggar Boy than I am, Yi Wen?"

"Brother Xiao! You're.. You better kill me. I don't want to be with him.. Don't want to."

Yi Wen wanted to walk towards Xiao Shuxiang, but his hand was grabbed and held tightly by the Mad Anaemic Boy. He tried to rebel, but he could not. There was something in his heart that said that even if he fought - he would not be able to defeat or run from this man.

"Xiao Shuxiang, can you hand it to me?" Such a Mad Beggar Boy was not his usual self, it felt like he had some authority at the moment.

Yi Wen, "I won't..! I want to be with Brother Xiao, let me go..!"

"Living with someone you don't like can be the best punishment. But I don't know why the Mad Beggar Boy wants you," Xiao Shuxiang looked at the man, as if waiting for an answer.

The Mad Beggar Boy understood the meaning of the gaze of his Lan'Er Gege good friend. "I can't say it, but I mean it at my request."

"…"

Xiao Shuxiang still heavily let go of Yi Wen just like that, but after all - the Mad Beggar-Chief was someone he did not want to seriously fight with.

"After receiving one hundred and fifty lashes, Yi Wen will be your responsibility."

!!

The Mad Beggar Boy saw Xiao Shuxiang step away just like that and left this place as if he did not want to hear the defense of the others anymore. The actions of the Alchemist Chef shocked many people.

Hu Li walked forward and asked the Mad Beggar Boy to make room. He had already removed the ribbon wrapped around his wrist to make a whip.

"Hu Li, I don't want to be with her.." Yi Wen was somewhat pale, he did not resist as his arm was held and pulled by Hu Li.

"I'm sorry, Miss Wen. But Young Master Xiao has already said it even though he is actually hard to release you from the first punishment. And if I may say so, Miss Wen should be grateful that your hands and feet will remain."

"But.." Yi Wen bit her lips. He was indeed very fond of teasing the Mad Beggar Boy, but the man already knew who he really was and he did not like this.

!!

Yi Wen spontaneously screamed as Hu Li whipped him without warning. He clenched his hands together and closed his mouth tightly to refrain from screaming anymore.

Zhi Shu and some of his fellow students turned a blind eye as they could not bear to see Yi Wen being whipped. Meanwhile, the Mad Beggar Boy could no longer save the girl any more than he did.

Lan Guan Zhi himself exhaled and then walked away following his good friend. He could hear the sound of the lash being clearly capable of tearing apart the skin and up to blood-letting - a sight that was not good to see.
