The Scum Is A ***

"Cheng-shixiong… QAQ" You Rou cried. She wanted to hug him but seeing Fei Yin\'s sharp gaze on her, as if reading his mind, she subconsciously pulled the person near her and cried on their sleeve. "Sorry, Cheng-shixiong… I got carried away. It\'s been so long since I last danced. TTATT" she explained.

"Shimei…" Cheng Sheng called and then smiled. He really doesn\'t blame her. He\'s actually relieved she can win against someone. "You\'ve worked hard." he told her. Then, his eyes fell on the person You Rou pulled.

You\'re also being carried away now… they thought when they looked at Qian Tian\'s speechless reaction to You Rou\'s actions as she wiped her tears with his sleeve. 

"Fmpt!" they heard a strange noise. Such a strange noise... They looked at You Rou who lifted her head, then to the wet sleeve her delicate face vacated.

"What\'s wrong?" You Rou asked when she saw them looking at her. Their gaze looked complicated. Then, she saw they\'re also looking at the sleeve she\'s holding. "Huh?" she said and looked at Fei Yin, Cheng Sheng, Feng Mo, Li Tian, Chen Han, Sun Yi, Lei Qing and Lei Ling standing in front of her. "1, 2, 3 - " she counted as she pointed at Fei Yin, Cheng Sheng and Feng Mo with her free hand. " - 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8." she said as she pointed at Li Tian, Chen Han, Sun Yi, Lei Qing and Lei Ling. "..." she fell silent and slowly lowered her gaze to look at the sleeve she\'s holding. "... Cheng-shixiong, whose sleeve am I holding?" she asked as her face became beet red. She\'s too afraid to look back. Cheng Sheng hasn\'t answered yet when a deep voice behind her spoke.

"Mine, xiao jie." Qian Tian said as he stared at You Rou. "… can you please release it now?" he asked, his tone is polite. He didn\'t forget to still act as a gentleman despite what You Rou have done.

"WAAAAH!" You Rou was spooked when Qian Tian suddenly spoke beside her. She raised her hands as a reflex. "I\'m sorry!" she apologized with her eyes closed before she ran towards Lei Qing.

"… ow." Qian Tian cried, his reaction belated because of his astonishment from You Rou\'s actions. He touched his chin which You Rou\'s fists hit. "It\'s fine…" he said and used his qi to heal his chin. 

"Da ge…" Qian Lin called before he looked at the Xinfaxian Sect disciples. They\'re really a strange bunch. He thought as he placed the tip of his fan on his lips. His eyes looked like they\'re twinkling because of his tear mole. 

Fei Yin looked at his fellow disciples before he stepped forward. "We apologize, first young master Qian, second young master Qian, for the trouble our shimei caused." He said and bowed. "And thank you, first young master Qian, for saving our shimei earlier." he added. 

"It\'s fine." Qian Tian waved his hand. He turned to You Rou who was crying. "Just be careful next time, xiaojie." He said. "Not anyone will pass by and will catch you if you\'ll fall." He told her and then left with Qian Lin who smiled and nodded at them.

"… I\'m sorry… QAQ" You Rou sniffed, her snot falling from her nose that became red because of crying.

"Ugh – " they immediately moved away from her in case she\'d blow her nose on their sleeve.

"Let\'s go back first…" Feng Mo said as he looked at You Rou awkwardly when You Rou wiped her tears and snot off of her delicate face with her sleeve. Shimei... can\'t you be mindful of your appearance? He thought and looked at the audience who were looking at You Rou with a dumbfounded look on their face. Did she became boorish after hanging out with us? He thought, his expression complicated. No. It must be because of Cheng-shidi teaching her nonsensical things! He thought and glared at Cheng Sheng as they went back to where they\'re staying with Chen Han and Sun Yi. 

"Uhm… due to a mistake of the Xinfaxian Sect and falling off the stage, the Nanli Sect wins!" the emcee announced.

The Xinfaxian Sect returned covered in gloom.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! You might have lost, but you gave us a good laugh!" Qian Shan hit Xie Lan\'s back as he laughed.

"..." Xie Lan\'s face is covered in gloom. 

"..." the sect leaders are speechless. Sect leader Qian! That isn\'t the purpose of this competition! They thought. 

"Father." Qian Tian called when he reached Qian Shan. Qian Lin already returned with his friends. 

"Oh!" Qian Shan turned back. "Good boy! Just like me. A nice save with the lady there earlier!" he told him, referring to Qian Tian catching You Rou.

"..." If I knew she\'d blew her nose on me, I wouldn\'t have saved her! Qian Tian thought as his fingers twitched inside his sleeves. 

"By the way, this is sect leader Xie - the sect leader of the young miss you saved." Qian Shan said and motioned Xie Lan. "Sect leader Xie, my son - Qian Tian. Also an elder of our sect now!" he proudly said.

"Greetings, sect leader Xie." Qian Tian politely greeted and saluted.

Xie Lan nodded. "Hello!" he waved his hand at him, making Qian Tian surprised.

"Ahahaha!" Qian Shan laughed seeing his son\'s reaction. "Sect leader Xie is too carefree. You don\'t need to be very formal with him." He told him.

"Oh…" Qian Tian said as he looked at Xie Lan. He\'s really too carefree… like his disciples. He thought when he remembered again that You Rou sneezed on his sleeve. His face darkened. "Please excuse me, father, sect leader Xie." He told them, his hands are itching to wash his sleeve! He is a germaphobe! To still act as a gentleman earlier and endure until now… he has a frightening self-control to not throw You Rou in reflex! 

"Oh, okay!" Qian Shan said and shooed his son away.

Yunxiao Inn, night.

"AHAHAHA!" Zuo Zhe can\'t help but hit the table as he laughed, unrestrained. "Shimei, you\'re too clumsy!" he told You Rou who immediately blushed in embarrassment.

"Don\'t laugh too much, or you\'ll choke." Yu Sheng told Zuo Zhe. Since Yu Sheng has finished his match, he and Zuo Zhe didn\'t need to return and watch other matches. Thus, they stayed in the inn all day lazing around.

"You stupid disciple! Making me lose money1!" Xie Lan who went to \'visit\' them yelled at Cheng Sheng after he2 hit him3.

"OWW! Da shixiong! Da shixiong! Help me! Save me!" Cheng Sheng called Fei Yin.

Fei Yin immediately left his seat to rescue Cheng Sheng from Xie Lan\'s clutches.

"You! Another unfilial disciple!" Xie Lan said as he pointed at Fei Yin with his chin raised. "You just can\'t let me have a fill of your match! You ended your match in a second!" he told him.

"The more the delay, the more mishaps might happen." Fei Yin answered.

"…" Xie Lan can\'t refute it. He fell on his hands and feet1 just beside Cheng Sheng who was lying on the floor, looking lifeless as he held the top of his head Xie Lan grounded his fist to.

"Idiots…" Feng Mo shook his head while Li Tian just chuckled as they looked at the three.

"But, if the sect system exists…" Lei Ling said as he counted on his fingers. "Li-shixiong, Fei-shixiong and Feng-shixiong won while I and shimei lost. We still have one win." He said. "The ones left are jiejie and Cheng-shixiong…" he said and they looked at Cheng Sheng lying on the floor, still looking lifeless.

"… I\'m getting worried for tomorrow…" they said. There\'s a chance Cheng Sheng might have a match tomorrow, and if he still has his idiot mode on… This is more worrying than the demonic cultivators… they sighed.

"How about the Youxiwang Sect?" Zuo Zhe asked and looked at Chen Han and Sun Yi. "Now that you\'ve mentioned it… where are your fellow disciples?" he asked.

"Sun-shidi and I still haven\'t had our match." Chen Han answered. "Father took our fellow disciples away since they have nothing to do. They were patrolling the city with the disciples of the other sects now while their respective sect elders supervise them." He explained.

"… are you sure the author didn\'t just forget them or is too lazy to write about them?" Zuo Zhe asked.

"Huh?"

"It\'s nothing." Zuo Zhe said and resumed eating. Yu Sheng, sitting behind him, silently looked at him. However, he didn\'t say anything and just filled Zuo Zhe\'s plate.

"Oh." Lei Ling said. "Only Cheng-shixiong and jiejie were left, as well as Chen-shixiong and Sun-shixiong." He said. "Who do you think will have a match tomorrow?" he asked.

"Whoever it may be, but you still have to be prepared." Xie Lan said.

Wu Yuan, sitting beside Sun Yi, nodded. "Ah Yi." He called. "I\'ll help you train later." He told him.

"Aren\'t you sweet? Hm?" Sun Yi said as he pulled Wu Yuan\'s cheek. The abstinent image of the youngest sect leader was broken by his partner. "You finally thought of me~" he added and kissed Wu Yuan\'s cheeks that turned red after he pulled them.

They all felt blinded and immediately looked away. They\'re already full of their dinner. They don\'t want to be fed of dog food. After they ate and they immediately left the table to the married people.

Chen Han enviously looked at Sun Yi and Wu Yuan, then he turned to Li Tian. "Ah Tian…" he called as he held his hand.

Li Tian immediately blushed. "I – I\'ll accompany you to train!" he told him.

Feng Mo sighed as he looked at the other pair of lovers. "I wish Wu Bai is here…" he said and called out his sword spirit Xiao Bai. The other three lonely people – Lei Qing, Lei Ling and You Rou, Lei Qing was accompanied by Lei Ling and You Rou to train in deflecting the attacks.

Meanwhile, Fei Yin and Cheng Sheng were taken away by Xie Lan.

Cheng ShengXie Lanlike this -> Orzperformance = money. Greater performance = more money. YR lost due to CS\'s advice, thus they lost money. QAQ
