XIAO SHUXIANG'S

87 - 5 Patriarch of the Sky Sword Sect [Revised]

"Brother Xiao, I heard your name is very popular in this Sect. Is that true?" Zong Ming gently patted Xiao Shuxiang on the shoulder, he heard a lot of stories from Jing Mi and Hou Yong.

Right now, Zong Ming, Ying Liu, Xiao Lu, Jing Mi and Hou Yong were sitting under a tree together with Xiao Shuxiang. They were gathered at a place a little far away from the crowd of the Sky Sword Sect Disciples and disciples from the outer sect.

Xiao Shuxiang shook his head as he sighed softly, " Rather than being popular. Many of the inhabitants of this sect have names similar to mine. It feels very disturbing,"

Xiao Shuxiang, "In a day, I can meet three to four disciples of the same name as me, only distinguished clans. Haaiy... The feeling of being haunted by my own name was something I never imagined before."

Xiao Lu, "I also feel the same way. In the Silver Bamboo Sect itself had ten people named 'Shuxiang'. It confused me, but after hearing the story of Zong Ming and some of my other new friends."

Xiao Shuxiang looked at the girl, "What do you understand?"

"That's about you, which sucks. The boy named 'Shuxiang' was very naughty and annoying. I always wanted to pin their heads. Seeing you even made my mood worse,"

"If you don't like to see me, then why are you looking for me?"

While conversing, one of the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect approached Xiao Shuxiang and his friends.

He then invited them to prepare immediately, because the opening ceremony of Ethics Training was about to begin.

The opening ceremony itself did not last long. After getting the white uniform, all the disciples were asked to listen to the delivery from Lan Gaozu and Patriarch Lan.

Patriarch Lan introduced the representative of GrandElder, he had apologized to the entire audience because the Grand Elder of the Sky Sword Sect could not attend.

But instead, the five Patriarchs of the Sky Sword Sect gathered in full. Really, a rare occurrence could see the five patriarchs directly like this.

Patriarch Lan introduced a man who, when seen in plain sight, was 32 years old. This man had a clean face with slightly white hair from above his forehead. She was seen wearing red winter clothes with thick white fur.

"He was the First Patriarch, Yu Changhai..."

Patriarch Lan, "He is a patriarch who inhabits Snow Hill Without Seasons."

Initially, the outer sect disciples stared strangely at Yu Changhai for wearing such thick winter clothes. But when they found out where Yu Changhai lived, they nodded in understanding.

Patriarch Lan then introduced a woman wearing pink clothes, Ming Mei.

"... He is the Fourth Patriarch and inhabits the River of Tranquility Hill.."

There were some outer sect disciples who frowned, they felt that the Fourth Patriarch of the Sky Sword Sect was a bit strange.

Not only the outer sect disciples, but also the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect who had never met the fourth patriarch felt an oddity.

Ming Mei, when seen in plain sight was twenty-five years old, but her true age was 192 years old.

Having a beautiful face without wrinkles and a small mole on the corner of his left eyebrow, was not the reason these disciples felt strange. It's just...

Ming Mei was the Patriarch who never opened his eyes and even to speak, Ming Mei always did it quietly.

"Huh, she hasn't changed at all..." Xiao Shuxiang snorted, unexpectedly he could see a familiar person.

Ming Mei was one of the cultivators who had come up against Xiao Shuxiang in the past. Back then, Ming Mei was already very dying from being hit by Xiao Shuxiang's attack, it was certain that the chances of her life was only five percent.

But now, not only in good health, but Ming Mei had apparently occupied one of the Patriarch seats of the Sky Sword Sect.

Xiao Shuxiang, "I don't feel surprised because sooner or later... I will definitely meet the survivors of the war against me first,"

Other than Ming Mei, Xiao Shuxiang also knew one of the other patriarchs, it was Bai Wu Dang.

Bai Wu Dang was wearing white clothes, he looked like an old geezer without a strand of hair. Only, he had a whisker and long white eyebrows.

Xiao Shuxiang had actually been watching Bai Wu Dang for quite a while, if not for the sword incision marks on the right and middle temples of his head, perhaps Xiao Shuxiang would not have recognized him.

Patriarch Lan introduced Bai Wu Dang as the Fifth Patriarch of the Sky Sword Sect, as well as the one inhabiting the Hill of Knowledge.

Xiao Shuxiang nodded slowly, he could already guess Patriarch Lan's remark. Bai Wu Dang was the son of Bai Wu Chang, he was a cultivator who loved to collect and read many books.

The existence of Bai Wu Dang in the Sky Sword Sect made Xiao Shuxiang confident that the Golden Moon Sect was no longer in this Continent.

Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his chin, he felt that Bai Wu Dang could be the solution of his Rooted Dantian problem. It remained how Xiao Shuxiang could meet Bai Wu Dang and ask for his help.

Patriarch Lan then introduced someone dressed in white with a face covered in veil as the Third Patriarch.

All the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect were so enthusiastically paying attention to the Third Patriarch. This was the first time they could come face to face with a patriarch whom they very rarely saw.

Not only were the disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect the first time seeing the Third Patriarch, but also Ming Mei, Bai Wu Dang and Yu Changhai.

For Patriarch Lan himself, this was already both times he could make eye contact with the Third Patriarch.

"I'd really like to see his face..."

"Third patriarch was... male or female?"

"Will the patriarch not open his veil?"

The disciples of the Sky Sword Sect were a little noisier, they were curious about the face of the Third Patriarch. Some outer sect disciples were also no less curious about this Third Patriarch's face.

The senior disciples were trying to calm the commotion, they were also actually curious about the Third Patriarch's face. But they could still hold back, unlike the juniors and outer sect disciples.

"Senior Lan, when will this be finished...?" Yu Changhai slightly whispered to Patriarch Lan, his voice sounding hoarse.

Yu Changhai was actually an uncomfortable patriarch along with the children. He is also the type of person who does not like to be the center of attention.

Although Yu Changhai was the First Patriarch and older than Patriarch Lan and Ming Mei, yet his nature was instead like a little brother among the patriarchs.

Patriarch Lan spoke softly, "Please be patient in a moment. Once the disciples are calm, we can head towards the final stage of the Opening Ceremony of Ethical Training."

Yu Changhai nodded slowly, he then glanced slightly towards the Third Patriarch. He actually felt awkward as well as curious about this patriarch.

Yu Changhai watched from top to bottom the posture of the Third Patriarch that turned out to be similar to him, but the Third Patriarch's eyelashes were thicker and longer.

Vaguely Yu Changhai could smell such a thick lotus smell from the Third Patriarch's body. He had indeed heard from the Grand Elder of the Sky Sword Sect that the Third Patriarch was very fond of lotuses, and it was the Third Patriarch who had created artificial lakes and rivers in this Sky Sword Sect.

After the commotion could be pacified, Patriarch Lan began to further explain about Ethics Training. Patriarch Lan no longer continued the introduction of the Third Patriarch to his students, as the Third Patriarch himself requested it.

This incident made the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect and the outer sect disciples regretful, even though they did not even know the name of the Third Patriarch.

After the opening ceremony was over, the disciples from the outer sect were brought to the Disciple Hall to rest.

Hou Yong looked for Xiao Shuxiang who had suddenly disappeared beside him, out of nowhere his fellow disciple had gone.

Hou Yong walked over to Jing Mi, "Brother?Have you seen Brother Xiao?"

"No, I didn't see it. Wasn't Brother Xiao with you?"

"So Brother Xiao was indeed with me, but after the ceremony was over he was gone."

Hou Yong scratched his head while watching the children passing by, he and Jing Mi looked riled up.

Hou Yong, "Is Brother Xiao going to ditch again...?"

"Brother Hou, ditching is much better than we heard Brother Xiao fighting another disciple again. We better find him as soon as we can..!"

Jing Mi and Hou Yong started running as they continued to search for Xiao Shuxiang's whereabouts. When they see their brothers... Jing Mi directly asked for help.

Yi Wen and Bao Yu nodded, they then also went to look for Xiao Shuxiang. Actually Yi Wen intended to meet Xiao Lu, only to be stopped because finding Xiao Shuxiang was much more important.

"A lot of new students are coming today and I'm afraid Brother Xiao will be in trouble with some of them. We have to find Brother Xiao..!" Yi Wen then asked Bao Yu to meet her friends. The more people searched, the faster Xiao Shuxiang would be found.

As Jing Mi, Hou Yong, Yi Wen and the others frenziedly searched for the whereabouts of her-Xiao Shuxiang were instead seen peering through the kitchen at the Rest Hall.

Without saying anything to Hou Yong, Xiao Shuxiang immediately went to fill his stomach. He had never felt full during the meal at the Rest Hall because the portion of Xiao Shuxiang's food was only half of what was normally given to him.

"I would at least like to waste Qi just to fill my stomach..." Xiao Shuxiang gently rubbed his stomach as he stepped silently towards the cooking ingredients.

Xiao Shuxiang was actually perplexed as he had never seen a deserted kitchen like this. He was looking for the whereabouts of Grandma Nian who had caught him taking food secretly several times, but now Grandma Nian was not around.

"Where's the old granny going..? Nevermind! Good opportunity..!"

Xiao Shuxiang opened one of the cooking ingredients, the contents were immature chicken meat. All the ingredients are still raw and not processed at all. This made Xiao Shuxiang cluck in annoyance and frown.

"There's no way I can wait until dinner arrives, right...?" Xiao Shuxiang muttered as he looked at the raw chicken meat in front of him, he then took a look at the existing kitchen seasoning.

Xiao Shuxiang tapped his finger, occasionally he played his pony hair while thinking of something.

"I've learned to cook before, but I've never practiced it alone all this time..."

A little while thinking, Xiao Shuxiang nodded steadily about cooking for himself.

Of course, as much as possible he was careful not to blow up the kitchen. Recalling the moment in his first life, Xiao Shuxiang once burned down the kitchen of an inn while trying to cook himself the Demonic Beast meat he had hunted.
