The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 510 - The Scum Is Salacious

They all turned to him. "What do you mean by that?" they asked. "He has someone to protect him?" they said, surprised.

"Are you referring to xiao Bao?" Tang Yun asked when he remembered the sword spirit.

"It definitely not us since he doesn't want us to continue protecting him when everything comes down to it." Li Tian sighed.

"Then… who could it be?" Sun Yi asked..

Wu Yuan patted his beloved's shoulder. "Fei Yin." He answered.

Everyone sharply turned to this person who is silent this whole time they all thought he doesn't exist. "What?!" they exclaimed in shock.

Xie Lan and Fan Wen are stunned, along with Li Tian, Feng Mo, Lei Ling and Lei Qing.

"Yuan… what do you mean?" Sun Yi asked as he gaped at his husband.

"Shidi… you…" Chen Han stammered as he looked at Wu Yuan.

"Instinct." Wu Yuan curtly spoke.

Everyone. "…" and here we thought that Fei Yin has resurrected! They thought.

"Sect leader Wu has a point." Jing Kang spoke. "Cheng Sheng has been looking for many ways to take Fei Yin back. He doesn't want us to protect him, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't want to die, since he believes Fei Yin will return." He explained. "He believes that only Fei Yin can protect him, in which Fei Yin definitely would never fail to do." He added.

They all nodded in agreement. "So, Cheng Sheng has something in his sleeve that can protect his life?" they asked.

"Or else?" Shu Mu flashed a smile at them. "How do you think has he managed to live until now, or even those times when he was travelling, along with only his disciple?" he asked them.

They all fell silent. But, the feeling heavily weighing on their hearts now disappeared.

"Do you know something?" Xie Lan suspiciously narrowed his eyes as he looked at Xi Ming and Shu Mu.

Only Xi Ming, Shu Mu, Xi Xing and Xiao Le together with Fei Lin and Xi Ling went with Cheng Sheng before to the Abyss to take back Fei Yin's body. It was also only them, aside from Qie Shi, who knows that Cheng Sheng is studying the Five Elements Formation.

"… Qie Shi." Fan Wen suddenly muttered. He glanced at Xi Ming, Xi Xing, Shu Mu and Xiao Le before he turned to Xie Lan who looked at him. "Qie Shi, and also Sun Rong, might know something! Xiao Sheng is definitely planning something again!" he told him.

Xie Lan nodded and he and Fan Wen ran to the direction of the Yunxiao Inn. Li Tian, Feng Mo, Lei Qing and Lei Ling naturally followed along with Chen Han, Sun Yi and Wu Yuan. The others, although puzzled, also ran after them.

Jing Kang took out a message to send to Jing Rui, Jing Cheng, Jing Bai and Jing Hei explaining the details to them. He also looked at Xi Ming, Xi Xing, Shu Mu and Xiao Le who remained on the side before he flew after the Xinfaxian Sect who are in the lead.

"Ai… this should be enough, right?" Xi Ming spoke as he turned to see Chen Jing, Wu Fan, Fei Lin and Xi Ling coming out of the alley.

"Chen Jing?!" Zheng Fu Gong and Pai Lie exclaimed when they went out of the infirmary.

"Yes." Chen Jing nodded as an answer to Xi Ming's question. "Sheng-er is a lone wolf which will make Han-er feel uncomfortable and definitely he will act on impulse because Han-er cares too much for Sheng-er." He explained.

Zheng Fu Gong and Pai Lie are puzzled about what they are talking about.

"So, you want us to give them assurance." Shu Mu spoke. "Especially Chen Han." He added.

Chen Jing nodded.

"Also – " Fei Lin spoke with a smile on his face. " – I also want them to prepare when the time comes…" he said.

Xi Ling giggled.

Zheng Fu Gong and Pai Lie who were treated as air. "…" can't you share a bit to us?! We are still here so don't talk as if we don't exist! They thought.

Yunxiao Inn.

When they arrived, they didn't see Cheng Sheng. What they saw are Sun Rong and Qie Shi instead.

"Oh? Everyone's here." Sun Rong muttered as he looked at them in surprise. "Why is everyone here instead of watching the competition that's about to resume this afternoon?" he asked them.

"Sun Rong." Xie Lan called as he stepped forward. "Do you know what xiao Sheng is planning?" he directly asked.

Sun Rong's brows raised. "Although Cheng Sheng and I are in a cooperative business but I don't know everything he is doing, especially his thoughts." He spoke. "You should know this a month ago, right?" he asked.

They all didn't answer. They looked at Qie Shi who is standing beside Sun Rong.

Seeing their gazes, Qie Shi smiled. "Although Cheng Sheng and I are in a cooperative business but I don't know everything he is doing, especially his thoughts." He repeated what Sun Rong said. "I am not a worm living inside his stomach to know what he is thinking, right?" he asked them.

Everyone. "…" alright. We can't get anything from these two. They thought.

"Xiao Sheng said to not protect him but protect the people." Fan Wen softly spoke. "But, Xi Ming and Shu Mu told us that xiao Sheng has something to protect him… or someone." He looked at them with a meaningful gaze.

Sun Rong and Qie Shi fell silent. "What we know, we have already told you." Sun Rong looked at them. "I and Qie Shi know nothing more than that." He told them.

Xie Lan nodded in understanding. Sun Yi is present so Sun Rong definitely won't lie to them.

"We'll go back to the venue and resume watching the competition." Xie Lan spoke.

"Sect leader Xie…" the other sect leaders called.

"If xiao Sheng won't let us know, then we definitely wouldn't know it." Xie Lan cut them off. "If he wanted to tell us, then we'll listen when that time comes." He said before he, Fan Wen, Li Tian and the rest of the Xinfaxian Sect left. They don't know if Fei Yinzi's match will come up this afternoon, so they have to be there.

The rest of the people, since they got nothing to do left also followed and went to the venue of the competition, leaving Sun Rong and Qie Shi in silence.

"Ai. Those two… can't keep their mouths shut!" Sun Rong shook his head. He is referring to Xi Ming and Shu Mu.

"They naturally would follow along Cheng Sheng's wishes. But, it must be the Chen patriarch and Fei Lin who told them to tell sect leader Xie and the others." Qie Shi told him. "Concerning the words Cheng Sheng has spoken to them… Chen Han is impulsive towards Cheng Sheng, his younger brother. It definitely because of him that's why the Chen patriarch and Fei Lin forced Xi Ming and Shu Mu to tell them." He explained.

"My dear Qie, you are really smart!" Sun Rong smiled as he kissed Qie Shi.

"Mn." Qie Shi grinned as he kissed the other back. "But, knowing Cheng Sheng, he deliberately must have said those words." He continued. "In order for the things to come." He winked.

"Ah, my dear Qie… you winking to me like that… you're seducing me in broad daylight!" Sun Rong said as his hands roamed on Qie Shi's back, stopping just in the middle and the inside of Qie Shi's thighs.

"Ah – " Qie Shi exclaimed when he felt his knees weakened and he fell to Sun Rong's arms. He really is weak to Sun Rong's advances.

"Ehem… sirs… I still want to book for a room…" a customer spoke, feeling blinded to Sun Rong's and Qie Shi's actions. "Or you could do it first and have one of your employees serve me here." He said when he saw Sun Rong hid Qie Shi behind him.

"Sure~" Sun Rong answered as he pulled Qie Shi with him and they left, calling an employee on their way back to their room upstairs.

Their footsteps are hurried.

…

"Qi Lan-ge! Good luck!" the Xinfaxian Sect disciples cheered as they watched Qi Lan come up the stage after his name was called as the opponent.

Qi Lan nodded at them.

…

"Where did you go?" Li Tian asked when they saw Cheng Sheng appeared, just in time before the first match in the afternoon starts.

"Checked the formation I laid all around the Zhongyang and see if it is working." Cheng Sheng explained.

They all nodded in understanding and didn't ask more. They tacitly agreed not to mention what happened this noon.

"This rogue cultivator named 'Qi Lan' is good!" they heard the audience exclaimed when they saw Qi Lan blocked the attacks of his opponent with ease.

They all can't help but agree. "The rogue cultivators are also strong… the Intersect Competition is just right to discover more talents of our land!"
