The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 436 - The Scum Is Superior

Hexie1 Peak. 

"Oh…? They died after being poisoned by the demon's blood? That's too bad, then." Cheng Sheng said as he nibbled on his favorite meat bun while he hugged both his legs and he's slouching as he faced them. "If they turned into a demon like the one that they are raising, then I would have the reason to kill them… ow!" he cried when Fan Wen hit his head. 

"What kill them… you can't even kill that demon. Instead, you and your disciple almost died!" Fan Wen sighed and rubbed his temple, feeling a headache. 

"Why didn't Cheng-shixiong called for me?! I could've helped you!" Lei Ling pouted as he looked at Cheng Sheng, feeling aggrieved. 

"What's the use of me training my disciple, then?" Cheng Sheng asked back as he rubbed his head where Fan Wen hit him. 

"That's training?!" Li Tian finally can't hold back as he glared at Cheng Sheng. "I already told you not to go, but you still insisted! Now look! You and er zi almost died! And er zi is still lying on the bed, recuperating!" he said. 

"I already taught him everything he needs to do, and he's also self-reliant so he studies on his own. If I won't train him now, when will I train him then?" Cheng Sheng asked. 

"Didn't you not train him these past years? Why suddenly train him now?" Lei Qing asked. 

"Ah!" You Rou suddenly exclaimed. "Could it be because of the upcoming Intersect Competition?" she asked. 

Everyone turned to her. They, of course, have already heard of it. The Intersect Competition which is held every ten years, now changed to every five years. After the battle against Wu Ran, everyone realized that they have been to lax and thus have lowered their guard after feeling a sense of superiority over the demonic cultivators. And they were caught off-guard every time and suffered losses. 

So, they changed the Intersect Competition to be held every five years. This also could make them find more talents faster, and to not miss them. 

"Yes… there's only half a year left." Cheng Sheng nodded. "Although er zi is intelligent, but if that intelligence can't be used, then he's just a useless piece of trash." He said as he sipped his tea. 

Everyone. "…" the scum is really hard to everyone, even towards his own disciple… they thought as they speechlessly looked at him. 

"Aren't you being too harsh towards er zi, though?" Feng Mo asked, feeling sympathy to the child. 

"Not only you brought him to the cliff, but you also kicked him down it!" Li Tian scolded Cheng Sheng. 

"Isn't it fine? The harder the trial he faces, the more motivated he will be to overcome it." Cheng Sheng said as he picked up another meat bun from the plate. 

Everyone. "…" no. We think he'll actually give up… they thought. 

Cheng Sheng looked at them as he chewed. He gulped down his food before he spoke. "But, since the Intersect Competition is coming in six months, I'll avoid bringing him to dangerous places." He told them. 

Everyone's faces are covered in dark lines. "…" so, you are aware that it is dangerous! They complained in their hearts, feeling pity towards the disciple of the devil scum. 

Cheng Sheng picked up more meat buns before he rose from his seat. "If you're that concerned with him, you are welcome to drop by and watch me train him." he told them before he left. 

They all watched him leave and then they sighed. 

"Although Cheng-shidi stopped tormenting the child, but he's still harsh towards him." Feng Mo said. "Could it be he is still hung up over da shixiong…" he muttered. 

"I don't think so." Li Tian spoke. 

They looked at him. 

"Although Cheng-shidi is greatly affected by da shixiong's death, but he had already returned to his senses last month." Li Tian said. 

They fell silent. 

"Er zi, ah…" Lei Qing muttered as she crossed her arms, thinking of the child. "I was really shocked before… I thought Cheng-shidi, that he…" she said before she stopped and tutted. 

A smile appeared on their faces. 

"If I just didn't know that Cheng-shixiong is a cut-sleeve, and he didn't reciprocate da shixiong's feelings, I would think he knocked up some woman and had an illegitimate child!" You Rou said. 

"Same here… er zi is just… so cute!" Lei Ling said when they remembered the first time that they saw the child. 

Back then, Fei Yinzi was eleven years old. That time, Cheng Sheng who was recuperating after their battle against Wu Ran suddenly disappeared. They were greatly alarmed and even notified the other sects when they can't find Cheng Sheng. 

Suddenly, Wu Yuan who travelled with Fei Yin and Cheng Sheng to the southmost region remembered something and he brought them to the Stop By Town. And they really found Cheng Sheng there, carrying a child. 

"I made a promise. I came here to fulfill it." they remembered him tell them. And after he said those words, he wordlessly left. 

After they have recovered from their shock, they asked the old man of the medicine shop about the child. The old man said that the child's name is 'Yinzi'. Everyone was stunned, and then thought that Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin really had a child. Or that, Cheng Sheng took the child because he has Fei Yin's name. 

But, they heard Wu Yuan suddenly spoke. "It must be Sha Yan." He said. 

"'Sha Yan'?" they asked as they turned to him. 

Then, the old man exclaimed. "Ah! Sha Yan, ah!" he sighed. "He is really miserable, and his wife and child equally are." He said. 

Then, they told him how Sha Yan lost his memories and unintentionally left his wife and child that he also has forgotten. That child is Yinzi. 

"But! Now, er zi became so handsome!" Lei Ling grinned. 

They nodded with a smile on their faces. Then, they changed the topic and resumed conversing. Meanwhile, Cheng Sheng slowly walked down the flight of stairs, watching the beautiful scenery. Before, he has an acrophobia. But, gradually, he overcame it. 

It's because of – "Fei Yin…" he muttered as he stopped and gazed at the sun. 

Back then, when he woke up after being stabbed by Chen Han, he suffered a temporary amnesia and forgotten his and Fei Yin's past. He thought that he and Fei Yin are like the other characters in this world and are a pair of ordinary lovers. No wonder he felt weird at that time. 

It was only after their battle against Wu Ran that he remembered everything. How he and Fei Yin arrived in this world, as well as the others whom they have forgotten: Zuo Zhe, Yu Sheng, Wu Xi, Mu Jun, as well as Bai Shen and Xi Tong. There are also the people of the Heilong Realm. 

But, from the moment that the Heilong Realm disappeared, everyone who doesn't belong in this world also have disappeared, and the memories of them were forgotten. If not for those words that he heard as he was losing his consciousness, he wouldn't remember everything! 

"Whew…" he sighed in relief as he patted his chest. Fortunately, he remembered. Or else, Zuo Zhe 'died' in vain waking him up. But… "Where did they go?" he asked as he gazed at the sky. And – "When will you return, Fei Yin?" he asked as he lowered his head. 

At first, when he found out Yinzi's name, he thought that he was Fei Yin. He thought that Fei Yin has returned. But, Yinzi is just Sha Yan's child, his promise to Sha Yan that he will raise his child. Nothing else. It's wrong to say that he wasn't disappointed. He was extremely disappointed! And angry. Frustrated. 

By logic, it should be him who shouldn't have remained in this world and it was Fei Yin, the protagonist, instead. But, he sent Fei Yin away to eliminate the Devourer. And, because he gave him his divine powers, he was demoted to an ordinary person. So, he fully became one of the people in this world. Although he isn't new, since he is using Chen Shen's body. 

"'eliminating the bug'… was the bug the system referring to is the Devourer?" he muttered. "If it is, then the Devourer should have died. Fei Yin must have succeeded. Then – " his brows knitted. " – why is he still not coming back? Did Xi Tong lie to me just to take Fei Yin back?" he frowned. "Fei Yin also said he will come back… tch! They are just a bunch of liars!" he kicked the pebble away. 

"Shizun…" he heard someone called.

Cheng Sheng turned and saw Fei Yinzi who was panting. "Idiot! Who told you to leave your bed?" he asked as he glared at him. 

"But… but, shizun wasn't there when I woke up…" the child said, feeling wronged. 

Cheng Sheng felt helpless. He sighed nd decided to forgive the child. But – "That's 'shifu' for you!" he told him and then carried him back to Jixu Peak. 

As expected, Fei Yinzi and Fei Yin aren't the same. Because Fei Yinzi is adorable!
