Chapter 651 – The Scum Is A Disappointment

Zhongyang.

"Granduncle Yu! Uncle Yi!" Sun Ri cheerfully greeted Sun Yu and Sun Yi as soon as she came out of the special space and returned to Zhongyang.

Sun Yu frowned as he rapped Sun Ri's head. "You brat! You are so willful! Why did you just give up in the competition like that?" he asked her.

"Ai, uncle. Don't be too harsh on her." Sun Yi said as he immediately hid Sun Ri behind him.

Sun Ri immediately hid behind Sun Yi.

Sun Yu glared at Sun Yi. "What do you know? A son married to someone else's house already has no say in the family!" he told Sun Yi.

Sun Yi smiled. "Aiyo, uncle. Come on. Ri-er is a girl. Do you really have the heart to let her continue to suffer in the competition?" he asked and patted Sun Ri's head. "The competition will only just become fiercer since it was already the third elimination period." He told Sun Yu.

Sun Yu snorted.

Sun Yi chuckled. "Go to your big uncle's inn and have a good bath, okay! Girls shouldn't be this stinky!" he told her.

Sun Ri loudly gasped and stomped her foot on the ground as she pouted at Sun Yi, who is obviously just joking. "As what I have said when I withdrew in the competition!" she blew up her cheeks and went away with a Righteous Alliance disciple who will be escorting her to the Yunxiao Inn for her to bathe and then rest.

"It is a pity that all of them won't be able to complete the third stage." Sun Yu said and sighed in disappointment as they watched Sun Ri left.

"But at least it wasn't in vain, uncle." Sun Yi said. "Sun Ri gave all of her points to Sun Yan, so Sun Yan's points would be able to catch up with Chen Wu's and Wu Lian's points." He explained.

Sun Yu nodded in agreement as they looked at the leaderboard. Due to being besieged by a thousand of demons, Chen Wu and Wu Lian took back the first two places in the leaderboard.  But, Sun Yan's points was also already high after he and his fellow disciples were besieged before by more than a hundred of demons. Coupled with Sun Ri's points which she transferred to Sun Yan before she was eliminated, Sun Yan's points became closer to Chen Wu's points. Wu Lian's points were a little higher than Chen Wu's.

"En. You are right." Sun Yu nodded in agreement and he smiled in satisfaction when he saw that Sun Yan's name returned to the top ranks in the leaderboard.

Sun Yan, Fei Luo, Xi Bing, Fei Huo and Xi He have just woken up and are still recuperating but the same can be said to Chen Wu and the others, too, who were also injured in their battle against the demons but their wounds were already treated and so they are also recuperating. This makes them all in a fair situation again, as they all have the same condition, that is, recuperating right now.

"Master Fei." A voice called.

Everyone turned and was surprised to see xiao Ling. Then, their eyes fell on the box that xiao Ling is holding. They all then understood.

Fei Yin nodded. "You can call me 'master's husband', it is okay." He said.

Xiao Ling's face turned dark. Everyone was surprised as they looked at the two.

"Hey, Li-shixiong, Feng-shixiong… why is xiao Ling… look like he hates da shixiong?" Lei Ling whispered to Li Tian and Feng Mo when they saw xiao Ling glared at Fei Yin, especially in Fei Yin's arms holding Cheng Sheng, as if those aren't Fei Yin's hands but a pig's salty hands (pervert's hands) instead.

"Uh… I think xiao Ling deeply loves Cheng-shidi that is why he hates da shixiong?" Li Tian guessed.

"Li-shixiong. It is not 'I think'. It really is." Feng Mo told him as he elbowed the two to look at xiao Ling's murderous glare at Fei Yin.

Lei Ling's lip twitched. "But, isn't he and xiao Bao so close? Xiao Bao is da shixiong's sword spirit." He said.

Feng Mo shrugged. "I think this deep love of xiao Ling is closeted." He said.

Li Tian sighed.

Meanwhile, xiao Ling gnashed his teeth. "Hoping master Fei to hand this to my master." He said as he gave the box containing the foreign talisman to Fei Yin.

"En." Fei Yin answered and waved his hand.

The box of the foreign talisman flew inside his qiankun sleeve. Everyone saw this but none of them opposed of Fei Yin keeping the foreign talisman. After all, it was only Cheng Sheng who can crack this foreign talisman.

"My master… how is he?" xiao Ling asked as he looked at the sleeping face of Cheng Sheng.

"Didn't xiao Bao tell you?" Fei Yin looked at xiao Ling. "Sheng is just resting. He will wake up soon." He told xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling's face is serious as he continued to stare at Cheng Sheng's sleeping face. Obviously, he doesn't want to leave.

"… aren't you leaving?" Fei Yin asked.

Xiao Ling's brow twitched. Definitely, he doesn't want to leave. But, there is still the task given to him by Cheng Sheng. Not sparing any word to Fei Yin again, xiao Ling took out Bai Tan, the Shapeshifting Blanket. Then, he entered Bai Tan and disappeared. The next second, his figure was seen inside the special space.

This is one of Bai Tan's skills: connecting spaces. Bai Tan developed this skill due to Cheng Sheng's cultivation growing.

"Oh…" Lei Ling muttered when he seemed to understand something. "Da shixiong also despises xiao Ling since da shixiong is jealous of xiao Ling…" he said.

"Mn." Li Tian and Feng Mo nodded in agreement.

…

Yunxiao Inn.

Sun Ri raised her head and gazed at the ceiling as steam rose in the air from the bathtub. She recalled the things that happened during the competition. Then, she smiled bitterly.

"I am really useless…" she said and closed her eyes. She is such a disappointment.

It was just her excuse before just to leave the competition. Now, she thought that she should have done it earlier. Even though she may be strong as a female cultivator, she knows that there are many more mages that are stronger than her.

Unlike Cui Xiang who can refine magic pills and make potions, and Cui Xiao who can also make potions and cast spells, Sun Ri is a treasure refiner mage, which became the sixth area of the alchemy due to Cheng Sheng. This should have been very honorable for her, but then she found out that despite that she has a talent in this area, her talent is only average.

It was because the only treasure that she was able to refine was her current weapon – a whip. And she knows that she hasn't unlocked her whip's full potential yet. It is because she is useless.

"Ha…" she sighed as she came out of the bath and then wore her clothes. Her head is hung low. She doesn't know how will she face Sun Yu now if she returned to the venue of the competition. She has managed to bluff Sun Yu, as well as Sun Yi, earlier.

But, if she is to see those two again, she knows that they will be able to see through her façade.

"Who is it?" she asked when she heard a knock on the door.

"It's me." It is Sun Rong.

Sun Ri's eyes widened and she immediately opened the door. "Big uncle!" she exclaimed when she saw Sun Rong.

Sun Rong wasn't around earlier when she arrived in the Yunxiao Inn so she didn't see him.

"How was my cute niece? Did you suffer in the competition? Did someone bully you?" Sun Rong asked as he patted Sun Ri's head.

Sun Ri shook her head. "No. Brother protected me well." She answered and smiled.

"By sending you to the Xinfaxian Sect's camp?" Sun Rong smiled.

Sun Ri froze.

"Is he this irresponsible now to leave your well-being in other people's hands? Doesn't he have his own hands and eyes to look after you?" Sun Rong asked.

Sun Ri fell silent. Sun Rong hit her sore spot. Indeed, when Sun Yan sent him to the Xinfaxian Sect's camp, she felt disappointed and hurt.

She lowered her head. "But… we were in a competition. Brother didn't mean it, big uncle." She said. "Brother was put in a tight spot. Our sect has to be the first, and I am holding him back. So – " she explained.

Sun Rong cut him off. "And you still make excuses for him?" his eyes narrowed.

Sun Ri shut up.

"I will talk with uncle." Sun Rong said. He is referring to Sun Yu. "He has become greedy to restore the former glory of the Shanliangde Sect that he now has forgotten that it was us, the Sun Clan's, fault that the Shanliangde Sect has lost its prestige in the past.." He said.
