The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 480 - The Scum Is A Babysitter

"Oooh! This is really exciting!" Qie Shi exclaimed when they saw one of the participants almost fell off the canyon when he lost his footing while he ran. Because there were many of them around, he didn't notice his surroundings so he slipped.

Sun Rong chuckled. "Not only you have to watch out of the others, but you also have to watch out of yourself, too, in order not to screw up!" he said.

There are just many kinds of participants one could see in every Intersect Competition. Some are exceedingly brilliant in his performance, some average, while there are also some who are just plain stupid and easily flustered like the one that they saw. This is one of the reasons why the Intersect Competition is very popular as not only the challenges are interesting, but as well as its participants.

Qie Shi grinned when he saw the participant was hanging by his hand and his face is very pale. "How long do you think he can last?" he asked as they watched the participant's trembling body swung as the wind blew.

"Not by a minute." Sun Rong answered. His voice is filled with confidence.

"So fast?!" Qie Shi was surprised as he looked at his husband. "You are that confident?" he said.

Sun Rong nodded and looked at the participant. "Of course. Because he is afraid of high places." He answered. As soon as his voice fell, they heard the said participant shouted that he wanted to withdraw.

"Ai… he is so unlucky." Someone from the audience said.

"Yes… but he is also to blame." Someone spoke. "They should already be prepared to whatever will happen. High places are normal for the cultivators, so this shows that he is unfit to be one." He explained.

"You have a point." The others nodded in agreement to what he said.

"Woah… you are really right." Qie Shi muttered and smiled at Sun Rong.

Sun Rong nodded and kissed Qie Shi's forehead endearingly. One of the abilities that he should have as a businessman is to discern people. This is why his inn – Yunxiao Inn, grew wide over the years, not to mention with what happened in the inn five years ago.

Of course, because of this ability of his, he found Qie Shi. Qie Shi is very smart and with proper resources in his hands, his intelligence network also grew fast like the Yunxiao Inn. But, his own people was trained by Sun Rong. This shows the trust between them lovers.

…

"Aiyo! Look at my Shun-er!" one of the sect leaders exclaimed when they saw their son.

"Yes, yes. Sect leader He's son is very clever!" the other sect leaders praised He Shun, the son of He Run who is the sect leader of the Guhe Sect.

"My god! The female disciples of the Tuanhui Sect are also all fierce!" some of them exclaimed when they saw the female disciples knocked out the other participants using sleeping powder and their whip and sword weapons.

"The forest arena is really good for ambush for those who are weaker. They can use this as an opportunity." Someone spoke.

"Of course, the forest arena can also train the participants to sharpen their senses in case of an ambush." Another sect leader spoke.

"Brilliant…" the others agreed.

Li Tian, Feng Mo, Lei Qing, Lei Ling and You Rou are also watching the competition from another area.

"Look at founder's proud face." Li Tian can't help but sigh when they saw Xie Lan is grinning from ear to ear while watching Fei Yinzi, Wen Yan, Zhu Xi and Su Mi form a team together to both attack and defend.

The Xinfaxian Sect is lucky for their disciples to be assigned in one arena.

"Ugh…" Fan Wen grunted as he covered his face in shame when he saw Xie Lan's expression that is obviously asking for a beating.

"Oh! The Xinfaxian Sect disciples are smart! They formed teams!" they heard someone from the audience spoke.

"That's right… there is also this operation… so clever!" they praised.

On the platform where the sect leaders and the Righteous Alliance elders are sitting, everyone are looking at Xie Lan.

"What? If you wanted to praise my disciples, just praise them. If you wanted to praise me for raising them, then praise me as well as their masters!" Xie Lan told them.

The sect leaders. "…" rage! He is really irritating! They all thought.

Tang Teng and Li Nanzi looked at each other with a helpless expression on their faces while Qian Shan heartily laughed when they remembered the last Intersect Competition. Wu Yuan's expression is indifferent while Jing Rui is just silent.

"Sect leader Xie's disciples and granddisciples are all deserving of praise." Sun Yu, the sect leader of the Shanliangde Sect, spoke.

Xie Lan smiled. "Thank you, sect leader Sun. Your disciples also aren't bad." He said as they all looked at the desert arena and saw Fei Luo, Fei Huo, Xi Bing, Xi He and Sun Yan slipped down the sand hills to avoid the attacks of the other participants before they rolled and counterattacked!

"The Zunjingde Sect, Youxiwang Sect and the Qianxu Sect also aren't bad!" the other sect leaders spoke as they looked at the other arenas.

Jing De and Jing Xu hid on a boulder while Qian Jie and Qian Ming hid on another one before they all ran up the boulders and appeared above the heads of the other participants chasing them, catching them off-guard before they immobilized them.

Jing Rui nodded in satisfaction seeing their performance. Although he was in a coma, but Jing Cheng, Jing Bai and Jing Hei along with Jing Kang didn't neglect their disciples, which made him feel relieved. Thinking this, he turned and looked at Jing Cheng, Jing Bai and Jing Kang sitting between the Xinfaxian Sect and the Qianxu Sect.

Jing Cheng seemed to perceive his gaze and he turned and smiled at him. Although Jing Rui's face still looked slightly pale, but his health has recovered. He smiled back.

Meanwhile, in the empty city arena, Wu Lian, Chen Wu, Chen Yu and Chen Su leapt over the roofs of the houses and shoots down the participants they are chasing, like hunters hunting their prey.

"The disciples are all lucky to be assigned on the same area with their fellow disciples." Someone can't help but speak.

"Yes. The mages are also very promising!" somebody exclaimed when they heard a loud explosion!

They all turned to look at the forest and canyon arenas and saw a deep pit was formed after someone used their refined tools against another participant. Fortunately, no one died and was only injured after they managed to dodge at the last minute.

"… isn't this tool lethal?" someone muttered.

"The Alliance's disciples have already checked and the elders have placed a spell limiting its lethality, so it is safe to use." Pai Lie spoke.

"It can't kill anyone." Zheng Fu Gong added.

"The Righteous Alliance is insightful!" the sect leaders praised.

While everyone was fervently discussing, Chen Han and Sun Yi who were sitting on the other side of the Youxiwang Sect inadvertently glanced somewhere and saw a familiar person walking towards them wearing his conical hat.

"…" fck. Why is he here?! They thought as their face darkened.

Li Tian who is sitting beside Chen Han noticed Chen Han's expression and turned to ask him what's wrong when he also saw the approaching person. "… Cheng-shidi!" he shouted as he, Chen Han and Sun Yi rose from their seats and met with Cheng Sheng who is slowly walking towards them.

Cheng Sheng, who was found out, smiled and removed his conical hat which the Shapeshifting Blanket immediately kept away. Then, under everyone's gazes, his long hair as white as the snow fell on his back, creating a stark contrast against his uniform that is verdant green like the bamboos. Paired with his handsome face, he looked refreshing.

"Oh, my god! It's Cheng Sheng!" the audience exclaimed.

"He's here! He's really here! He appeared!" they excitedly spoke.

"How long was it since he last appeared in public?" someone asked.

"Ahhh! I once saw him last week after he cured the daughter of a family in our neighborhood! I heard he didn't ask for compensation!" someone spoke.

"Really?!" the others exclaimed in shock.

The people near the area where the sect elders were sitting drew a sharp breath when they saw Cheng Sheng. They all have heard of Cheng Sheng's achievements, and the biggest one is the battle against Wu Ran five years ago. But, he suddenly disappeared in the public's eyes. Some malicious people said that he was ashamed because his cultivation has dropped while some people retorted that it was them who should be ashamed because it was Cheng Sheng's sacrifice.

Anyway, everyone expected for Cheng Sheng not to appear in the Intersect Competition, too. But, behold! He really is here!

"Ah Sheng… why are you here?" Chen Han asked.

Cheng Sheng smiled. "I asked my babysitters to bring me here." He answered, referring to Sun Rong and Qie Shi. "I came here to surprise you all." He added.
