75 : First Awakening of Love?

Already guessed up to this point and it is still not right. You XiaoMo really can't figure it out.

"Idiot! Giving up so easily."

Ling Xiao rebukes him lightly but the expression on his face is one of absolute delight, "The reason the demons sent Elder Jiang to kill me is because they think I have a way of discerning half demons. So they want to get rid of me as soon as possible."

Talking about his, You XiaoMo suddenly remembers.

Indeed, at that time, Ling Xiao seems to know beforehand that Luo Shan is a demon. Furthermore, usually half demons won't reveal their true appearance unless they themselves intend to. And with Luo Shan's identity, he definitely wouldn't reveal his true form in front of so many people. So the demon commander must think that Ling Xiao forced Luo Shan to transform. If that's the case, Ling Xiao really has the ability to see through half demons. No wonder the demons want to get rid of him.

"Elder brother Ling, what are we going to do now? Although Elder Jiang is a half demon, but if we were to reveal his identity, we will also fall under suspicion."

Thinking of this, You XiaoMo can't help but be worried for Ling Xiao. Elder Jiang is the chair of the competition. If he doesn't show up tomorrow, the Grand Master will definitely send people to look for him. If it is discovered that he died here, it doesn't matter if his identity is revealed, everyone will still be suspicious.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. I know what to do."

Ling Xiao says, the least bit affected.

You XiaoMo stares at him for a while and then suddenly cries out in alarm, "Don't tell me you're going to let someone else pretend to be Elder Jiang?"

Hearing these words, Ling Xiao examines him carefully for a while, his bright handsome eyes showing surprise. He then laughs, "Little brother, this method of yours is not bad, but ....... where are you going to find someone to pretend to be Elder Jiang?"

Hearing the first part, You XiaoMo is about to smile when he hears the mocking words that follow. He immediately holds back his smile, "Then what is Elder brother Ling planning?"

"You know during yesterday's first stage competition, why was it that I and Zhou Peng were chosen for the first round?"

Ling Xiao doesn't answer his question. He walks around Elder Jiang's ninja clothes. Suddenly he uses his toe to push lightly at one corner of the ninja clothes. Immediately what sound likes identification jade tablets can be heard.

"Can it be ....... he wants to test out your strength?"

You XiaoMo's eyes suddenly light up.

"That's right."

Ling Xiao squats down and picks up that jade tablet, "Lin Xiao is the Grand disciple of the warrior division. Quite a bit of prestige. But these two years, he has been concealing his true strength. Elder Jiang has very little contact with him so in order to ensure that he can kill Lin Xiao, he planned to use the grand friendly competition to test out his strength. He didn't expect Zhou Peng to ruin his plans so he can only look for another opportunity to make his move."

You XiaoMo didn't expect things to actually be so complicated. Thinking back he feels that something is not quite right, "Elder Jiang wants to kill you. What has that got to do with me? Also how did he know that I would go out with Jiang Liu this afternoon?"

Ling Xiao suddenly rubs his nose, shifting his gaze away from his face.

"Elder Jiang heard Tang YunQi and the others talking two days ago. He knows that they were planning to deal with you so he based his plan on theirs. He'll wait for Tang YunQi's people to lure you out, follow behind and then kidnap you ....... then try to frame your disappearance on Tang YunQi, oh, something like that."

"No way ba. You mean I was dragged in?"

You XiaoMo says in shock. He had thought that he had somehow offended someone.

"More of less ba."

Ling Xiao says these words somewhat guiltily but You XiaoMo doesn't notice.

"Looks like the Central lineage really doesn't agree with me!"

Ling Xiao actually leaves out a few things. That includes Elder Jiang seeing that they share the same room, and furthermore, You XiaoMo wearing his clothes, so he had guessed that they could be lovers. So he thought that if You XiaoMo would to go missing, he would definitely be in complete chaos, and that would be the perfect time to make his move. That is the real reason!

The reason why he doesn't tell You XiaoMo is because of that one word, 'lovers'.

It must be said that this word makes him feel as if enlightened. The hazy feelings he has towards You XiaoMo these few days becomes clear in an instant. Turns out the reason why he is always teasing You XiaoMo is because he likes him?

The great Ling Xiao can't figure it out since he has never been in love. Who knows what a person in love is like?!

But because of the thoughts of Elder Jiang, the look Ling Xiao gives You XiaoMo is no longer purely a teasing or joking one. Instead there is an added thread of something inexplicable and complicated. He thinks that he might have fallen under a spell!

"Let's discuss this after we leave ba."

Ling Xiao keeps the jade tablet.

This jade tablet is only given to the Elders of TianXin sect. Because it is used as a form of identification, they are usually unique. On top is carved Elder Jiang's name. He only needs to engineer some fake evidence of his coming to harm and make sure that the timeline doesn't line up with theirs. In this way, the suspicions won't fall on them.

"Fine. Ai no. I just discovered something. Wait for me a bit."

You XiaoMo also wants to leave here as soon as possible, but when he was hiding behind the ice sculpture, he seems to have seen something he wasn't supposed to see.

Ling Xiao turns around and sees You XiaoMo run towards the ice sculpture he was hiding behind just now. He raises his brow and follows him. He finds that You XiaoMo is squinting, looking absorbedly at that ice sculpture. But it's only an ice-cold ice sculpture. What's there to see?

"Elder brother Ling, help me take a look. What is frozen inside this ice sculpture?"

You XiaoMo notices that Ling Xiao is standing at his side. He hurriedly waves at him his eyes bursting with excitement.

Ling Xiao glances at his face that is flushed with excitement. He suddenly feels that this face that usually seems ordinary suddenly starts to move him. He quickly shifts his line of sight, "It actually looks like a magic herb. But this ice cave is a little strange. It seems to have some kind of contraption that can cut off the super perceptive powers of human martial artists. This magic herb is also buried right at the core of the ice sculpture making it hard to discover if not studied carefully."

"Is there a way to take the magic herb out?"

You XiaoMo looks at Ling Xiao, his heart full or hopeful wings.

Caught off guard, their eyes meet. Ling Xiao looks away abruptly, his heart can't help but fill with curses. Why is this fellow becoming more and more lovable every time I look at him?
