The Scum Is A ***

Fortunately for everyone, Cheng Sheng was unconscious for only a night. The next day, he is hopping around again, looking as lively as a rabbit and as strong as an ox. His face is beaming and looked radiant. Obviously, he is in a good mood. After all, his cultivation that remained stagnant for five years finally started to move!

Everyone is sincerely happy for him, especially the Xinfaxian Sect. Xie Lan even had the Yunxiao Inn prepare a feast for Cheng Sheng's recovery. Sun Rong and Qie Shi, as Cheng Sheng's friends, naturally prepared the best dishes and hired more chefs. The participants of the second day of the matches of the double battles almost cried in joy since they were extremely exhausted from their matches.

Not only do they have to be tacit with their partner, they also have to mind their opponents who are not only one, but two!

"Please forgive this Cheng-shishu of yours for not able to congratulate you yesterday for winning your matches." Cheng Sheng told Wen Yan and Zhu Xi as he gave them some spiritual tools.

Wen Yan's and Zhu Xi's eyes sparkled in excitement but fortunately, they restrained it or else they would look like fools. Who doesn't know that Cheng Sheng is the best alchemist?! Not only does he invent novel tools, all of his creations are also high-grade!

"Thank you, Cheng-shishu!" Wen Yan and Zhu Xi said.

Cheng Sheng smiled and then turned to the Su siblings, Su Mi and Su Yi, who have expectant gazes. Their match was also in the morning earlier. "Of course, congratulations to the both of you, too. You performed very well!" he told them as he also gave them each a spiritual tool. They can use this in the next stage.

"Thank you, Cheng-shishu!" Su Mi and Su Yi cupped their fists before they ran to Wen Yan and Zhu Xi to compare spiritual tools with, leaving their masters, Li Tian, Feng Mo and Lei Qing, feel helpless.

They are their masters yet right now they looked like they wanted to be Cheng Sheng's disciples, instead! They were bought with spiritual tools! The three thought and glared at Cheng Sheng who looked away while whistling.

Lei Ling and You Rou, as well as Xie Lan and Fan Wen, roared in laughter.

Cheng Sheng turned to the Youxiwang Sect disciples. How can he forget the sect that the Chen family is supporting? "If you also wins your matches, I will give you spiritual tools." He told them.

Wu Yuan, Chen Wu, Chen Su and Chen Yu instantly looked spirited. "Yes!" they answered, suppressing their excitement.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the other sects stared enviously at the disciples of the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect. They also want spiritual tools! They thought and looked at their masters, which made their masters sweat.

"Sh – shizun!" Fei Yinzi called as he approached Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng turned. His gaze fell on the earring he gave to Fei Yinzi before he looked at the youth's face. "What? You also want something?" he asked. "You still aren't satisfied with all the spiritual tools I gave you?" he told him.

Everyone's gazes fell on Fei Yinzi. That's right… the envious disciples thought. If there is one person we should be envious about, it's this Er Zi! They stared at Fei Yinzi whose body almost became ridden with holes because of their burning gazes. Not only is he personally taught by Cheng Sheng, he also was given high-grade magic pills, potions and spiritual tools!

Because his master is Cheng Sheng! This Fei Yinzi… he is extremely loaded!

Fei Yinzi who now wanted to crawl into a hole because of everyone's gazes on him. "…" it was really a sin to act on impulse. He shouldn't have called his master who is always the center of attention. He thought and inwardly bitterly smiled.

"I don't dare want more… this disciple don't dare to be greedy." He answered and bowed.

"Oh." Cheng Sheng muttered. "I thought you want some, so I am about to give you some." He said.

Fei Yinzi and everyone. "…" are you playing with us?! They thought.

The others finally retracted their gazes and resumed eating. There are still matches in the afternoon.

Fei Yinzi coughed. "Shizun…" he called as he watched Cheng Sheng ate slowly.

"Hm?" Cheng Sheng answered.

"Later…" Fei Yinzi spoke. He is referring to Cheng Sheng training him. Now that their sect was done with their matches aside from the group match that Wen Wen, Cui Xiang and Cui Xiao will be participating next week, the Xinfaxian Sect can now relax until the remaining days of this week.

That means that Cheng Sheng can start training him!

"Oh. That's right." Cheng Sheng immediately understood. He turned to Xie Lan, Fan Wen, Li Tian, Feng Mo, Lei Ling, Lei Qing and You Rou who are eating with their disciples that are wearing a relaxed face since they are finally done with their matches.

Although Wen Wen, Cui Xiang and Cui Xiao still have their match left, that was still next week.

"Cheng-shidi. What's the matter?" Lei Qing asked when she saw Cheng Sheng was looking at them and she picked the bone out of her mouth.

Su Mi also did. Like master, like disciple. She is like the younger Lei Qing. Tough but reliable.

"I want to borrow your disciples." Cheng Sheng answered after the other sects left aside from theirs and the Youxiwang Sect who also doesn't have any participants in the double battles.

"Ours, too?" Wu Yuan asked.

Cheng Sheng nodded. "I want to teach them something…" he answered.

Everyone. "…" what 'something'? they thought, suddenly felt nervous.

Fei Yinzi who is expecting that Cheng Sheng will train him one-on-one. "…" shizun, you are a liar! You deceived me again! He thought, feeling betrayed.

The disciples of the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect who are still ignorant of Cheng Sheng's true personality. "!!!" he will teach us! they thought, feeling excited.

Their elders looked at their excited expressions and shining eyes with a pity on their suddenly dull gazes. Ignorance is a bliss… they thought and shook their heads, letting Cheng Sheng take the children away. Cheng Sheng must be bored by staying inside the Yunxiao Inn thus they will let him have 'fun' with the disciples.

The disciples are still oblivious to the fact that their elders sold them to the devil… scum.

…

"Sheng." Fei Yin called when he saw Cheng Sheng arrived in the meadow. Then, his gaze fell on the small lightbulbs (third-wheels) following behind Cheng Sheng. "They are our sect's and the Youxiwang Sect's disicples?" he said when he saw the youths' uniforms. "Not bad. They look like they are good seedlings. As expected of ours sects." He smiled.

Cheng Sheng nodded in agreement. "I'll leave Er Zi to you." He told Fei Yin as he took the rest of the disciples with him to the mountain, leaving Fei Yin and Fei Yinzi, whom he didn't even give a glance or a word back.

The disciples immediately greeted Fei Yin with 'Fei-shibo' and 'elder Fei' before they hurriedly followed Cheng Sheng. Meanwhile, Fei Yin looked at Fei Yinzi and Fei Yinzi looked at Fei Yin… before he lowered his head, not meeting Fei Yin's eyes.

This is Sha Yan's, or Fei Yan's, son? Fei Yinzi thought when he remembered Fei Yan that they met in the Stop By Town in the Southernmost Region. Cheng Sheng already told him about Fei Yinzi's life and how he took him in as a disciple.

This is… my other remaining uncle… Fei Yinzi thought as he looked at Fei Yin's feet. He only has met Fei Lin before, but Fei Lin has other matters to attend to thus he agreed for him to be Cheng Sheng's disciple.

"Did Sheng tell you that he will train you?" Fei Yin asked after a while.

Fei Yinzi flinched when he heard Fei Yin addressing his master very intimately. He never met anyone who addressed Cheng Sheng in this very intimate manner, and that… he felt uncomfortable with it. He subconsciously touched the earring that his master gave him to shake off the discomfort he feels.

Fei Yin's gaze fell on the earring before he looked to the area where Cheng Sheng took the other disciples.

"Yes." Fei Yinzi answered, though his answer was a little late.

Fei Yin didn't take it as an offense. When he saw this child, he thought that he is slow. He suddenly felt distressed for Cheng Sheng to teach such a slow child. This is wronging him.

(Fei Yinzi, as well as everyone: laughingcryingemoji.jpg)

"Sheng teaching you is the same as me teaching you." Fei Yin spoke. We are a married (not yet) couple, after all. He added in his heart.

Fei Yinzi didn't speak and just nodded. "Thank you, Fei-shibo." He spoke.

Fei Yin didn't correct him by making him call him as 'uncle'. He never watched the kid grow up, after all, and that he is just a distant relative.. Without further ado, he and Cheng Sheng finally started training Fei Yinzi, and the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect disciples, respectively.
