XIAO SHUXIANG'S

66 - Helper Huan May [Revised]

Qi Xuan was unable to speak even though his mouth was open. He was shocked to see the scene in front of him.

The body of the Demon Wolf Sect cultivator slowly collapsed together with Huan Mei. Only, a hand instantly caught Huan Mei before her body actually touched the ground.

It looks like white clothes are slightly fluttering because of the wind. Qi Xuan was made aware of his shock upon seeing that the person who captured Huan Mei was a 9-year-old boy.

"He's this..." Qi Xuan remembered with the child in front of him, he was Lan Guan Zhi of the Sky Sword Sect.

Lan Guan Zhi's right hand held a sword that was so shiny. It was this sword he wielded to slash the head cultivator of the Demon Wolf Sect. Even so, there was not visible any blood on his sword.

Lan Guan Zhi sheathed his sword, he then looked at Qi Xuan without saying a word. This made the Qi Xuan who was being stared at become nervous.

"Ehm..thank you..." Qi Xuan was finally able to make a sound, although it sounded trembling.

Lan Guan Zhi nodded slightly as he looked at Qi Xuan back. His face was calm and even impressed not to have any expression, this made Qi Xuan's heart beat much faster than usual.

Honestly, Qi Xuan had only first faced off against a child who was as low-voiced and mysterious as Lan Guan Zhi. Because all the children he has met are cheerful and talkative children.

Even among his fellow students, only Feng Ying rarely spoke. Even so, Feng Ying was not a minimally expressionless child.

Qi Xuan could feel time stopping when faced with the figure of Lan Guan Zhi. The strange effect Qi Xuan felt made him subconsciously lower his head.

"Cold..." Qi Xuan was as if faced with a cold iceberg.

"Take it,"

Qi Xuan flinched when he heard Lan Guan Zhi speak. Although only one word, but there is authority in the word.

Qi Xuan understood that Lan Guan Zhi asked him to take Huan Mei. Soon, he held the girl.

Not far away where Qi Xuan and Lan Guan Zhi were - the Scarlet Shadow Cultivator was seen standing while peering behind the tree.

The four of them were actually also shocked by what they were witnessing. None of them could explain why the head cultivator of the Demon Wolf Sect had suddenly fallen.

Subconsciously, the four Scarlet Shadow cultivators touched their necks. Although the four of them were not beginners of the neck slashing thing, yet they had never done anything like Lan Guan Zhi.

"What a terrible child..." Xing Dou goosebumps.

"Senior, who's the kid? I just first saw such a neat and beautiful sword technique..." Lie Kai was still touching his neck, his face looked a little pale.

Xing Dou in a soft voice began to explain about Lan Guan Zhi, "He is the most talented child in the Sky Sword Sect. At the age of 9, he was already at the Late Stage of the Mortal Foundation. I heard, he will become the Grand Elder of the Sky Sword Sect in the future.."

Xing Dou said, "Young Master Lan Guan Zhi is even more formidable and will surpass her brother, Patriarch Lan.."

!!

There was news circulating that the Grand Elder of the Sky Sword Sect had chosen Lan Guan Zhi as his successor. This news was reinforced with the heirloom of the Heaven Sword Sect given to Lan Guan Zhi.

The heirloom in the form of a sword with a golden-yellow sheath, is a hereditary heirloom given to the next GrandElder candidate.

The heirloom was seen to be on Lan Guan Zhi's right waist. Lan Guan Zhi had two swords. His sword continued to be tucked in his right waist, while another sword was always in his hand.

Although Lan Guan Zhi obtained the heirloom of the Heavenly Sword Sect, yet he was unable to pull out the sword from its sheath.

This was because the heirloom sword had some kind of seal, and it would only open if it was the sword itself that recognized Lan Guan Zhi as its owner.

Zi Lin watched Lan Guan Zhi and also Qi Xuan from a distance, she brought up her opinion to Xing Dou.

"Senior, what if we get rid of that child before it becomes a threat to us in the future?" Zi Lin felt, Lan Guan Zhi needed to be eliminated before growing up. Because if left unchecked, Lan Guan Zhi could be a hindrance to their plans.

Xing Dou nodded, "You're right. All of us can also take Grand Elder's granddaughter away from here,"

Zi Lin, Xing Dou, and their two juniors slowly began to draw swords. However just as they were about to dart out to attack Lan Guan Zhi and Qi Xuan, suddenly someone seemed to come from the trees and land right in front of Lan Guan Zhi and Qi Xuan.

!!

"That'S...?"

"Wine! Grand Elder of the Lotus Flower Sect is Coming!"

Zi Lin, Xing Dou, and their two juniors were shocked upon learning that that person was none other than Huan Fei, the Grand Elder of the Lotus Flower Sect.

"Now what, Senior? Should we attack?"

"You want to die?! We'd better go home, there's no reason to sacrifice our lives just for the gold piece, come on!"

Zi Lin and his two juniors nodded after listening to Xing Dou's words. The four of them then moved as quickly as possible before Huan Fei realized their existence.

Huan Fei himself was too worried about the safety of his grandson, Huan Mei. Especially after he heard Qi Xuan's words and found out that Huan Mei was also watching the match.

Inwardly, Huan Fei was annoyed and cursed several times. He cursed Huan Mei who was so mischievous and always disobeyed her orders. However, he remained afraid and worried if his grandson was injured.

"May'Er hasn't woken up the Elder, but she's fine..." Qi Xuan answered Huan Fei's question, he was seen calling Huan Mei several times.

Huan Fei was relieved that his grandson was fine. He then thanked Qi Xuan and Lan Guan Zhi for saving his beloved grandson.

Lan Guan Zhi felt that Huan Mei was no longer in danger. He nodded in response to Huan Fei's thanks.

Lan Guan Zhi saluted Huan Fei and then jumped away. There were still many cultivators who needed his help.

He doesn't talk much. But his gestures and gaze seemed to be understood by anyone.

As Lan Guan Zhi was already out of sight, Qi Xuan began handing Huan Mei over to the Grand Elder of the Lotus Flower Sect. He also said that it was not him who saved Huan Mei, but Lan Guan Zhi.

Huan Fei smiled as he gently patted Qi Xuan's shoulder. He then tried to resuscitate Huan Mei by flowing her Qi.

No need to wait for long, Huan Mei slowly began to open her eyes. Huan Fei smiled with relief because his grandson had regained his senses, he then hugged Huan Mei.

Qi Xuan also felt relieved as well as pleased that his new friend was fine. Qi Xuan was grateful that Lan Guan Zhi could come in time, otherwise, I had no idea what would happen to Huan Mei and him.

"Sister Xuan..."

!!

Huan Fei gasped in shock as Huan Mei who was in his arms did not call out his name, and instead called out the names of others.

"Mei'Er, this is your grandfather...! Why isn't Grandpa's name you mentioned first?" Huan Fei looked at Huan Mei's face with a look of disbelief.

Unfortunately Huan Mei instead put on a sullen face while looking at her.

"I want Big Brother Xuan, not Grandpa...!"

!!

Like lightning during the day, it was felt by Huan Fei. He immediately thought that his grandson might not have been well aware. However, it was as if a second lightning voice had been heard, as Huan Mei instantly broke free from her embrace, and immediately ran to hug Qi Xuan.

"Sister Xuan!"

"Thank God you're fine," Qi Xuan gently stroked Huan Mei's head, it's good that her friend came back as cheerful as before.

"May'Er..." Huan Fei wanted to cry. For the first time in his life, Huan Mei the Beloved Grandchild had escaped from his embrace and instead embraced someone else.

"May'Er..? This is your Grandpa Mei'Er..? You're Not Hugging Grandpa..?" Huan Fei touched his finger to Huan Mei's shoulder.

Huan Fei convinced himself that his grandson was unaware of his existence. Unfortunately, Huan Mei's statement made her almost hanging.

"I don't want to be with Grandpa, don't touch me, huh! I want to be with Brother Xuan!" Huan Mei threw away her face while talking to Huan Fei, "Sister Xuan. Carry me,"

"But..."

"Sheels...! Carry me, Brother Xuan...!"

Qi Xuan himself had no idea what was happening, yet Huan Mei continued to whine for a carry. Qi Xuan finally gave up and started carrying Huan Mei.

"Ehm..Elder, we better get going.."

Qi Xuan saw Huan Fei still pecking with a shocked face, similar to the person his lover had just decided unilaterally.

"May'Er.. You've done so much to your grandfather.."

Huan Mei did not care about Huan Fei muttering, "Bak Xuan. Let's go,"

"Alright, come on, Elders." Qi Xuan took Huan Fei along, he then walked over while carrying Huan Mei.

Huan Fei sighed and tried to calm himself down, he did not expect his grandson to be so willing to treat him like this.

While walking beside Qi Xuan, Huan Fei continued to persuade his beloved grandson to prefer to be carried by him rather than Qi Xuan.

"See this.. Grandpa's beard is already so thick, you really like to pet it right? Come on over here,"

"No Want! I prefer Big Brother Xuan, Big Brother Xuan smells delicious!"

"May'Er, but Grandpa also smells..!"

"I don't want to, Grandpa smells like an old man. Big Brother Xuan's smell was like morning grass, calming..." Huan Mei hugged Qi Xuan tightly and continued to shake her head while rejecting the inducements from Huan Fei.

Qi Xuan was like he did not know what to say. He originally thought that the Grand Elder of the Lotus Flower Sect was a person of high prestige.

No Qi Xuan thought, the Grand Elder of the Lotus Flower Sect was a little similar and probably exactly the same as his elder, Yang Shu.
